Dog Walking Appaloosa West

“Lizzie was great and accommodating! She was able to do a few house visits during the holidays, which can be very hard to find. My dog also gives up on all training when it’s cold outside but she made it work and provided thorough updates. I would definitely book her again.”

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working part-time at Enigma 5PM-10PM (Friday & Saturday nights). I also have class midday Monday-Thursday and Tuesday nights. Other than that, I have all the time in the world for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I will keep tails wagging while you’re away! I love all cats and dogs. I have 1 cat named Oslo, but am pet sitting 1 dog and 1 cat in my home for 1 year. I am kind, caring, responsible, attentive and friendly. I work in a middle school as a paraprofessional to a special needs student and I am extremely patient and reliable. I help take care of neighbors and friends pets when needed. I would love to help you and your family care for your beloved pet! :) I currently work full time at a middle school. The school day is from 7am-2:40pm. I am able to come by before school or right after or in the evening. I will respect and follow through with your routines and requests. I want to keep things consistent for your pets. When hired, I will ask detailed questions to understand your pets needs, likes and dislikes and how I can be of help.

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

I have experience caring for and training dogs of all types, and will cater to senior dogs, medical needs, or special needs such as sensitive, selective, or reactive dogs. In my spare time I volunteer with my therapy dog Reese, and have experience fostering and training dogs using positive reinforcement. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet but I can assure a safe and successful walk, sit, or stay! I am currently available for animal care! Available on weekdays, weekends, for stop-ins during the work day, or over weekends. Happy to continue care with boarding or sitting. In your home, I can offer lots of your dog's favorite exercise for every season. Depending on their activity level, we can take walks, runs, or just breaks/sniffs. I always clean up after dogs and demonstrate responsible dog ownership in your neighborhood! For stays at my house: the yard is huge, and backs to forest preserve property and pond, but the yard is unfenced so I am diligent about leashes.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.
