Dog Walking Argus

“Tonya does an amazing job walking and taking care of my little Hammy! She came prepared for our meet and greet and asked all of the important questions. I love having the peace of mind that she’s caring for him while I’m at work.”

About: I been fostering and caring for kittens/cats for many years. I also have 4 cats of my own. I absolutely adore all animals and enjoy caring for them. I’m very open to being available on my lunch breaks during work, week nights and weekends. I try and be as flexible as possible when I can be. I will give them tons of attention and love - whatever is needed to make them happy and feel loved. I'm happy to follow any rules and instructions you give for them. I know how important it is to keep our fur babies loved and happy :)

About: Hello! I'm a marketing professional who works from home and things can get quite dull and lonely here. I've always loved animals and would love to break up my day by spending time with your pets. I majored in animal science and worked as a veterinary nurse for a year. I also have experience working in a dog grooming salon. I've been around all types of animals since I was young. I currently volunteer at Last Chance Ranch! My job is fairly flexible and I'm able to step out for walk or petting breaks! I can also bring my laptop and work from your home. I try to stick to routines to keep them happy and comfortable. I make sure to go over any preferences and limitations beforehand and treat them like my own.

“Deborah did a good job. This was my first time using0 this app with my 5 month old boxer, let alone with any of my dogs. She came over 2x. Gave me feedback. He seemed calm on the puppy cam gtge whole day crated. Positive first experience. I appreciated that Deborah met us 1 week prior”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. As a teen I worked in a kennel and ran a kids obedience class. In my 20s and 30s, I fostered for a bully breed rescue. I've had everything from nine week old puppies to 13 year old dog. So the size of the age of the dog has never really made much of a difference. I'm pretty familiar with most tools for walking and training and if I'm not, I'm confident telling you so ,along with my ability it learn proper technique. I believe patience is key with any animal. I've had deaf dogs, dogs that need to be carried up and downstairs, the crazy dog that runs around and eat your socks. I believe staying calm and patient is the key to dog getting comfortable with you. I have a super flexible schedule. I'm a stay at home mom of a teenager. I scheduled personal appointments pretty well in advance giving everyone time to make sure things are covered. I currently watch a couple dogs for friends and I've had no problem dropping in on short notice or having their dogs dropped off to me with short notice. My husband and child are really dog savvy so having one randomly need to crash for the night or come over for a few hours, never really phase them. Work is one of those things where in my house everyone just understands you gotta go. In my house, we put a baby gates an extra dog crate . There's always water bowls available. I do have a large fenced in area and plenty of toys available. Out on walks everybody stays on a leash. Give them plenty of space and time to sniff around, but making sure we get some exercise. Always good to carry water for the dogs and snacks. Some dogs need more space away from everybody else when they're walking and that's OK we'll find a different walking route change things up, I feel like you know your pet better than anyone else. You'll tell me what they need and how to love them best. I believe they're all individuals and have individual needs whether be in your house ,mine or walking down the street.

About: I have been pet sitting for family members and friends for as long as I remember. I have a cat named Winston and an Australian Shepherd puppy named Odi. Both are social butterflies that are great with other animals. My animals are my family, and I love them unconditionally. I love spending time with animals and I have a passion for doing any activity that gets me outdoors. I will be available most nights/weekends and do my best to accommodate your schedule/ pets needs. I'm willing to run/hike with dogs that need high activity. I currently live in Perkasie and work from home full-time. You can be sure your pet will be in utmost care with me! I can't wait to meet your four-legged friend! I can pet sit during the day or in the evenings on most weeknights, and weekdays. I am available to walk before 8:30 am, between 12-1 pm, and after 5 pm every day. I will care for your pet as if it were my own, my home is safe for cats and dogs and both my animals are friendly. I will also follow any instructions or notes you may leave me to care for your dog's specific needs.

About: Hi there! I am a HUGE animal lover and would love to care for any type of pet you have. I own 1 dog and 2 cats and my ideal job is working with animals. Before I had kids I have worked as a veterinary assistant and then got my degree in the veterinary technician field, where I worked at Quakertown veterinary clinic and Rockhill Vet clinic. I have owned everything from cocker spaniels to Great Danes and now have a German shorthaired pointer. I've always had cats and even rescued a horse in the 1990s. I'd love to care for your pet during the day! Please know that your fur babies will be in good hands with me and I will treat them as if they were my own! I am currently working very part time, so I have a lot of time to devote to your pets. I will make sure they are safe, healthy, and happy. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I will treat your home and your property with respect. Your pets will always be safe and healthy and happy with me.

About: I've always cared for animals, and I'm willing to go above and beyond for animals who need help. Owners need help as much as their animals do! I'm currently out of work, so willing to do anything for animals to make ends meet. If I can help every animal and owner, I will. Inside other's homes I will do everything in my power to keep it as it was when I first enter. There is nothing to deter me from maintaining proper care.

“Cristine did an amazing job taking care of Lex while I was away. She arrived on time, sent pictures, mapped his walks and texted them to me--all of which reassured me that Lex was being well cared for. I will definitely be booking her again in the future, and I highly recommend her services. Thank you Cristine!”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover and pet owner with experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I provide patient, loving care to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding on weekends, as well as weekdays after 1:00 PM. I’ll make sure your pet gets exercise, playtime, and lots of affection while you’re away. I have a small dog, a Bichpoo, she just turned 1 and I have had a lot of experience with dogs and puppies and training them.

“Fantastic dog walker. Always does such a great job of taking care of my puppy. She always seems happy and well cared for when I get home. Excellent communication as well.”

About: Dogs are family, and that is how I treat every visit. I have spent 12 years caring for my family dog and now my own, along with regular walks, drop-ins, and overnight care for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I am comfortable with dogs of every size. Millie, the Bernese Mountain Dog in my photos, is my boyfriend's dog and lives at his house, but I walk and care for her often. At over 100 pounds, so I can handle larger dogs who may pull on walls. I am experienced with administering oral medications, managing leash-reactive dogs on walks, and handling standard crate and feeding routines. I keep detailed notes on each pet's needs and quirks, and I always have your vet's information on hand in case of an emergency. You will never have to wonder how your dog is doing, because I am happy to send updates throughout a visit. I am available for early morning visits and again toward the end of the workday and into the evening, which suits pet parents who need care before or after their own workday. Midday visits may be possible with advance notice. I have some weekend availability as well; just message me and we will coordinate. Safety Your pet's safety comes first. Dogs stay leashed and harnessed any time we are outside, including in shared hallways, elevators, and lobbies, since neighbors and other dogs can appear around a corner without warning. I check the weather before every walk and adjust: short routes and shaded paths in the heat, and less time outside in the cold. Before the first visit, I make sure your vet's information, any medications, and other specifics are written down or saved in the Rover app for easy reference. We can go over detailed instructions at the meet and greet or by message beforehand. If anything seems wrong, you will hear from me immediately. Trust I work full time in HR, so confidentiality and the careful handling of sensitive information are things I take seriously. I treat your keys, door codes, and home with that same standard of care. Keys are never labeled with an address or unit number, and they are stored securely in my home when not in use. You will receive photos and an update with every visit. I never bring anyone along, and I never share photos of your pet publicly without asking first. If my plans change, you will hear about it early rather than at the last minute. Environment In your home, I stick to the areas you tell me to use and leave everything as I found it, including lights, doors, and the thermostat. I also pick up after your pet and tidy anything we have used before I leave.

“Sharon provides excellent & reliable service. She is detail-oriented and attentive to both my puppies needs- I highly recommend!”
