Dog Walking Assumption

About: I have had a dog in my home for as long as I can remember. I love caring for, playing with, and doing basic training with dogs of all kinds. I'm comfortable and confident to care for my own as well as other's. I'm happy to walk, play with outdoors, bathe, do basic training, and administer medication if needed. I currently stay home with my two young children. We leave the home once our twice a week for errands or activities. This leaves us home and available to care for and play with pups all day or for the majority of the day. We're in a slow season of life, so we're also available on the weekends in most cases. I have a large property for dogs to run and play. For those who need fencing, I am able to offer that as well or am able to take dogs out on the leash. Willing and and to crate dogs. We have two dogs of our own, they are livestock guardians and spend most of their time outside, but they are an integral part of our family and have been decently socialized with other dogs.

About: I was an in home pet-sitter in college (1999-2003) where I would take care of their dogs, cats, and home while they were away. Honestly, it was the best job I've ever had! In addition, I have been a dog trainer since 1992. Training my own dogs is a passion I enjoy sharing through teaching in classes. Also, I worked in a few vet clinics over 18 years where I was a receptionist and veterinary assistant. Currently, I have a 15 year old papillon, 2 year old Brittnay, and 2 year old cat. These guys are my pride and joy, just like the other pets I've had since I was young!! Currently, I do work full to part time, but willing to adjust my schedule to fit your needs. My schedule is very flexible in the afternoon, evenings and weekends. In my home, the cat has free reign of the house. The dogs are crated when we are not able to be home and at night. My previous dogs may have had full reign, but right now my senior and young dogs cannot be trusted. When I visit someone's home, it is my priority to take care of your pet like you would if you were home!

“Natalie is so wonderful with my two big boys! She's familiar with dog behavior and seems to actually LOVE what she does! I would recommend her to anyone considering a dog walker. She actually exercises them, just as they need! She helps me out more than I think she realizes. I am a very grateful dog mom. ❤️”

About: Hi I am Cindie, I am mom to two rescued girls that I have adopted, one is a Yorkie and the other is a" Morkie" which is a Maltese Yorkie mix, they are both under the age of 11 and are very lovable and easy-going and love to be around other dogs, they would love to share their large back yard with you! It is completely fenced in and gated with lots of lush grass to run and play in. There is a large wooden deck connected to the back of the house that gives them free reign in and out of the house to access of the doggie door anytime day and night, We have pet friends on both sides of us, our neighborhood is very pet friendly, we have lots of friends that live here that would love to come out and visit with us when you come over! Inside of the house is very comfortable also, we are allowed on the furniture, we have lots of toys to play with and we get special treats like carrots and chicken when we are good ! Our mom has lots of experience taking care of dogs, we didn't get to know our older "sister " Buffy,...because she crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge" before we were adopted, but every night the lights shine on her "Memorial Tree" in our backyard where she is "sleeping",.. Wayback in the day, Dr. Dillon at Saint Francis Veterinary Hospital took on Buffy when she was having problems getting the rest of her large litter of nine puppies delivered, She was One of Dr. Dillon's very first patients about 20 years ago, and so you see our big sister "Buffy" is like a local celebrity because she helped Dr. Dillon get his start in Veterinarian Surgery...Wow!

“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”

“Natasha is my go-to for my dog walking needs! She is flexible and works with me and my crazy schedule, and best of all my doggo loves her. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sends me during her visits - it’s a relief to me during a long day at work to know that I don’t have to worry about my pup.”

About: Hi! My name is Amber. I have one dog, Maeve, who *loves* to play and make new friends. We are members of Glass City Dog Park so she is well-socialized with other dogs. She also had a feline brother for about 7 months before we lost our 14 year old cat, Marty, and they were best buds. I am experienced in caring for pets with special needs, diets, ailments, and am no stranger to administering pills and shots to both cats and dogs. I have a big back yard with privacy fencing and a very quiet and safe neighborhood to walk in. I also ha e the ability to keep pets separated, if necessary, with a retractable gate between my living area and kitchen, while pets are aclimating. I am also happy to come you! I have reliable transportation and a very flexible schedule, especially during the day. I can't wait to meet, play with, and care for your pets! I am a musician so my obligations are usually in the evenings and on weekends, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to check on pets before or after gigs and practices. My day time availability is extremely flexible! I have a big back yard with privacy fencing and a very quiet and safe neighborhood to walk in. I also have the ability to keep pets separated, if necessary, with a retractable gate between my living area and large kitchen, while pets are aclimating.

About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and family.I also have experience volunteering at a local Cat Cafe. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I always do my best to follow their normal routines and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while in my care! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m happy to coordinate visits around my classes and make time for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any household rules. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a little more space. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own.

“She is great!!”
