Dog Walking Alvernon Heights

“Punctual and reliable”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

“My dog loves Brittany and I love her too. She communicates well. She let me know my dog had an upset stomach - I had no idea he was feeling bad! Thanks to her we were able to adjust his food till he felt better. Every time we leave town we use Brittany to do daily walks. (relatives keep dog but don’t walk him- he needs his exercise!)”

“Larry did a great job with Ellie. He was attentive to her needs and communicated along the way. I’m excited to have Larry as my new walker and seems to be a great fit. I would recommend Larry for anyone needing a dog walker for their fur child.”

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

“Logan responded quickly to my request to walk my dog while I was gone over labor day weekend. Logan was easy to communicate with and my dog was very well taken care of!”

About: Hi! I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of official pet-sitting experience. From family and friends' pets to Rover clients, I've always loved providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every dog. While I took a break from actively booking through Rover for a few years, I'm excited to be back and look forward to meeting new pets and their owners. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing for extra attention and flexibility those days. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll treat them like part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work full time from 9am-5pm Monday - Friday. Mondays and Fridays are work-from-home days, so I am available to give extra attention to any pets in my care. I am up early and stay up moderately late, so I can accommodate early morning or nighttime walks that avoid the heat. I have a very friendly Australian Shepherd that loves to play with other dogs. Our home is multi-level, so best for dogs that are physically comfortable going up and down stairs. Our location has a lot of areas for walks, and park play, which is a part of our routine whenever watching a client in our home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I make every effort to mimic any routines they are used to. This assists in helping dogs feel safe and comfortable, and leads to a better overall experience. I am a very clean person, so it is important to me to keep others' spaces that way as well.

About: I have a little one (chiweenie, 5 years) and take care of my mom's two (shitzu, mix terrier) when she goes out of town. Chalupa hangs with her cousins during the day and enjoys my mom's home. I enjoy walking, playing, feeding, and caring for dogs (teeth brush/brush/shower/etc.). Would love to go above and beyond for you and yours while you are out of town or need some extra help. I am currently a post-graduate student who is looking for additional opportunities to get ahead on loans. I go to the gym and park in my free time, usually 3-4 hours a day. I can transport large or small dogs if desired; I have a hatchback SUV, two small boxes for dogs to sit leashed in the car, or can have small dog on my lap while I drive - something I often do with Chalupa. I would prefer not to leave the house in a vehicle unless the dog park is a part of your routine and you have a crate I can transport larger dogs in. I am new to the service and if you are reading this you would be my first client. I would follow your instructions and might bother you with a question or two. I would send you photo updates and text check in 1x a day in the morning. More if desired, I don't want to bother you on your vacation.

“Azul loves Rachel she walks at her pace and Rachel is very responsible. Azul seems happy when she comes back home and when Rachel comes to pick her up for her walk Azul is very happy.”

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

“Ricky was great with walking my golden retriever! He was polite and professional and sent lots of pictures of Romeo. I felt good throughout my work day knowing that Romeo was being taken care of!”

“Jenn was great with our yellow lab Zane, she walked him every day for a week and sent great photos. She’s extremely prompt in communication and we definitely hope to utilize her services regularly!”

“Josie was wonderful - very responsive, friendly, great with our pup and completely flexible with my changing schedule, which I totally appreciated. We will definitely use her for walks again.”

Heather L.

“Steve stepped in quickly when I suddenly needed surgery and time to recover. My dog waited anxiously by the door for four weeks because she knew she was in for an adventure every day, in the neighborhood or a local park. I really appreciated Steve's flexibility and extra assistance while I recovered.”

Maggie W.

“Melissa took such great care of my dog, gave detailed updates after each walk and plenty of pictures, and worked with me to manage his separation anxiety. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and loved while I was gone. Will definitely be using Melissa again!”

About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Nurse with 4+ years of experience providing professional, attentive care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From high-energy pups to senior dogs and those with medical needs, I'm confident handling a wide range of behaviors and care requirements. I prioritize safe, structured walks, positive interaction, and maintaining your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. I'm comfortable with leash training reinforcement, medications administration, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience and care, I provide dependable, knowledgeable support so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. I currently work full time as a Certified Veterinary Technician, so I am frequently available for early-morning and evening care. This makes me a great fit for before-work, after-work, overnight, and weekend care needs. I'm typically available for morning visits and walks, as well as evening drop-ins, feeding, and extended care. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, routine-based care, especially for pets who do best with consistency. I'm committed to communicating clearly and planning ahead so your pet's needs are always covered with gaps or stress. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out - I do my best to accommodate recurring and flexible schedules whenever possible. I provide all pet care exclusively in the client's home, where pets feel most secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and allows me to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruptions. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter box care, enrichment, and medications, while also being attentive to any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to keep your pet calm, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”

“Kailey was prompt picking up Mixtli for his walk, she communicated with me and sent photos. Mixtli looked thrilled to be on his walk! I look forward to asking her for walks in the future.”

“Came over last minute when I had an emergency and had to be out of the house. Walked my dog Nysa per instructions and even scooped the litter box for me!”

I am currently a full time remote student. My drop ins times are extremely flexible. Im not available for new house sitting clients until mid October. However, if you’re a returning client or need a full day of care vs just drop ins, please reach out. I am available for new house sitting clients from mid October 2026. I will be available for house sitting over Thanksgiving! I always want to give your pet space and the choice to come to me. I also want to stay consistent with their routines, habits, and training.
