Dog Walking Avon

About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I strive to provide a welcoming, enriching home away from home for your dog. To ensure the best care possible, I only accept up to 2 dogs at a time. You can expect regular updates throughout your pup’s stay. Safety is a top priority. I check my yard regularly for potential hazards and do paw checks for foxtails after every walk. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for zoomies. Dogs can explore the garden, sunbathe on the grass, or lounge under the shaded pergola. Pets are welcome on the couch, and I also have extra dog beds and an indoor dog house for pups who prefer a little more personal space. My experience: I have a 6yo maltipoo named Chewy and 14yo shihtzu named Joey. They are very respectful of other dogs’ personal space. I trained Chewy using positive reinforcement and taught him many tricks and commands. I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 15. My senior dog experience includes fostering one who was adopted into her forever home and providing long-term care for two others. I’m very comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and grooming. Rover is a side hobby, and I ask for a little advance notice so I can prepare for my doggie guest. I follow the schedule provided by the paw-parents. If none is given then it’s usually a morning potty break, breakfast, walk, mid day potty break, dinner, and potty before bedtime. Playtime is sprinkled throughout the day or I may incorporate it with their meal time like food in a puzzle toy. I tailor care to each dog’s needs. Every day includes physical exercise or mental stimulation such as daily walks, fetch, tug-of-war, command training, puzzle toys. Let me know how your preferences during the Meet & Greet so I can match your dog’s routine.

“Virginia was very professional and kind towards our pup. She followed all of our instructions and provided a lot of care to our dog. Would definitely rehire again!”

About: I trained my reactive childhood dog at 16, and had great success! After he passed, I began volunteering at my local shelter. I can’t afford a dog right now, so I have much love saved up to share with everyone else’s dogs! I work part time, and I’m in school. I’m free Mondays after 2pm and Wednesdays after 2pm - Thursday before 4pm for an overnight stay. I have a separate unit in my home where my cats stay when dogs come over, so don’t worry if your dog isn’t cat friendly! I have a large fenced yard, with lots of things to sniff and squirrels to chase.

About: Need someone you can trust to care for your furry family while you're away? I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to Aster Blue, my sweet 11-year-old boy who loves other animals, too! I offer attentive, loving pet care, whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or keeping your pets comfortable in their own home. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I'll treat your furry family with the same patience, affection, and care I give my own. Available seven days a week and around for holiday pet sitting. I'd love to meet your four-legged family! I currently work part-time, locally, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as well as all weekend long. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your fur babies company, as well as a park nearby where I can take dogs to play.

“So energetic and sweet. Went above and beyond to give my pup a good walk.Even though Leo is usually shy, he was excited to meet her during meet & greet. Thanks so much!”

About: As long as I can remember, I’ve been around dogs and helping care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I’m happy to give energetic dogs longer walks and plenty of exercise, while also taking my time with dogs who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, explore, or simply relax, I’ll treat them with the care they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away and pet care is something i genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard where pets can enjoy safe outdoor time, as well as a crate available if needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Rebecca was great! We have no issues and our dog Molly loved her. We will be reaching out to her in the future for our doggy needs! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to friends.”

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have loved animals ever since I was young! I have a senior dog myself who I've been taking care of for 13 years. I'm very active so I love going on walks. I have experience also taking care of cats when my neighbors would be out of town. I do prefer to only take care of two animals max per household.

“Pri really saved us with some last minute availability. She came twice a day to walk Hudson, was prompt, and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I love caring for dogs. Short or long walks, playing at the park or in their yard. When they are happy it makes me happy. Feeding time or treats always on owners timeline! I am currently not working so available to be with your pet all day! Feedings, walks, whatever is needed they will feel safe and happy. I like to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will be able to keep them on their daily schedules where they feel safe.

About: I’ve taken care of and had many different pets. I often take care of two senior pets who get medication and need extra help. I have a puppy of my own and have taught him many tricks. I can do morning, night, and check ins during the afternoons. I have class mon-thurs, and able to check in afterwards. I walk my own dog twice daily and take him to the dog park often. I can easily crate your pet if needed and am able to watch your pet to make sure they don’t get into anything. Doors will stay closed if needed and gates put up.

“Laura was punctual, great with our dog and a please to work with. We will definitely have her back…”

About: - Fear Free Certified - Insured with Pet Sitters Associates - 10 years of experience - Limited spots to ensure small groups Proudly providing a cozy second home for your pet! I started out pet sitting years ago when my cousin’s family needed me to watch their Pomchi while they were on vacations. Said Pomchi now loves me so much that the mere mention of my name sends her into rapturous zoomies! The feeling is very much mutual, of course. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve taken on multiple clients as a dog walker and sitter since then, mostly met spontaneously while out on walks. I work from home and and have a flexible schedule. I have a few regular clients I do drop-ins for in the mornings and evenings, and the rest of the time I’m at home playing, training, and enjoying the backyard with my furry family. Safety is my top priority, but I also strive to provide an enjoyable and stress-free experience for your pet. I love connecting on an emotional level to animals through play, pets, and snuggling, making sure to read their body language closely and always respecting their boundaries. When your pet stays with me, they can expect a fun and relaxing experience tailored to their physical, social and emotional needs. Most dogs choose to hang out with my dog and I in the main living areas, but those who prefer a safe, quiet, private area with blankets, water, and a crate will have that available to them. Meals will be served exactly according to your specifications, and in general I will do my best to minimize any changes to your pet's normal routine and environment. I'm also experienced in house sitting, and I’m happy to do tasks such as moving garbage bins, taking in mail and newspapers, and more.

About: Being dog owners from a very young age, we have loved and cared for animals our entire life. We have a massive one acre property that is fully fenced and secure. This is the perfect spot for your furry family member to enjoy their little vacation! We work together to provide the best possible care for your pets while you are away. We want to make their stay an awesome experience for them. Our home is fully fenced and has beautiful and big garden. Your furry friend will be free to play around and explore the property. We also have a smaller fully enclosed doggy park in case any owners would like their dogs to have a smaller space or if any doggy wants to take a little break from playing.

About: With four years of experience working with puppies, I have developed a deep understanding and genuine love for these delightful companions. My approach to pet care emphasizes building a strong bond with each puppy, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. I am dedicated to providing personalized attention and creating a fun, nurturing environment where every puppy can thrive. Being around dogs brings me immense joy, and I consider it a privilege to be their friend and caretaker. Working from home allows me to have a flexible schedule with plenty of spare time to dedicate to puppy care. I also have a puppy of my own who is under my care 24/7, so I'm always present to tend to your pups as well. This constant presence ensures that your puppies will receive the attention, love, and care they need throughout the day. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. Fresh water, nutritious meals, and cozy resting areas are always available. I also maintain a routine that includes regular potty breaks, walks, and lots of affectionate attention. With constant supervision and a puppy-friendly home setup, I make sure every pet feels welcomed and well-cared-for.

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 9 and I’ve taken care of cats since I was in kindergarten. When going to friend’s homes I am respectful of special diets for their fur babies and follow the family’s list of requirements for their pets. I’ve taken care of pets for both friends and family. I’ve helped feed, walk and administer meds. Im working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with pets to play, feed, walk and help enrich their lives while you’re away. I am playful, caring and gentle with furry friends. I like to make them feel as comfortable as possible around me so they know they can trust me. I like to also get to know the family and how they care for their pet in different circumstances to make sure I am doing things that your pet is used to.
