Dog Walking Bears Paw

About: I have grown up around both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Always was ready to help care for the family pets whether it was feeding, walking, bathing or simply loving. Family and friends have often asked me to watch their pets and I've always had a great bond with many cats and dogs over the years. I pour everything into caring for them and its something I'm very proud of and enjoy doing. Some of my longer term clients include caring for senior dogs on multiple medications and special needs and have done a lot of vet appointments on behalf of the clients too. I currently work as a freelance photographer on the side so my schedule is very flexible. I can easily fit drop ins, walks and feeding around any potential photography jobs I might have which normally last an hour or so and a lot of work is done from home too. I would always be there overnight if I'm house sitting so your fur baby won't be left alone. I always ensure anything dangerous to your fur baby is out of the way. If needed I can crate your dog. Whatever safety measure you request I will do it to ensure the best for your cat or dog.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m dependable, active, will always provide playtime, feeding, check ins, and plenty of attention. I also live to go on walks myself so they will definitely get to be outside and get their energy out! I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates while their pets are in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care fit easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll follow and accommodate to any instructions you provide. Including feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I’ll keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and send updates so you know they’re safe and well cared for.

“Claudia was sweet pet sitter with my puppy Luna, took her on long walks and let her run and have fun, she sent videos and photos that we loved. Next time we need a pet sitter we will definitely contact her.”

About: I’m comfortable with cats & dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My guy is a wonderful handful so I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just feeding them and letting them out..but giving them attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of love. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Just like I would do for my own I am currently working 9–6 Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, so Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are the days I have the most flexibility for you and your furry ones. These are the days I can dedicate the most time and attention to your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around their individual needs. I work until 6pm so night time can be available if needed. I have a dog named BlackJack who is blast and high energy, so I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and videos (if you would like) so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have a passion for providing them with the best care possible. I love all dog breeds and would be honored to provide my pet care skills to your precious pups! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available any day of the week for dog walking, daily check-in visits, or in-home dog sitting. I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I provide exceptional in-your-home care and will respect your home as if it is my own. This also allows your dog to remain in a location they are familiar and comfortable with and prevents them from becoming stressed or anxious while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of my own cats and dogs for many years and will treat your fur babies with the care and attention I do my own. I'm retired and will consider your pet's needs as my top priority. I'm available mornings and afternoons. Would prefer to avoid schedules after 7pm unless an emergency. I do not have the option of caring for your pet in my home due to my own pets but will take care of your pets and property as if the were my own.

About: I have taken care of a multitude of different animals for over 5 years. I can and will take care of any pet that you need watched. I’m available every day of the week for most of the day, and will house-sit if you’d like. I really love animals so this is a great schedule. I won’t board your animals, but I will do whatever you tell me to do regarding your pets. If you want me to stay over all week I will.

“Karen B was terrific,,,, my labs loved her. Ali can be alittle bit of a stinker when she doesn’t know the person but Karen overcame that quickly by getting down on the floor and chatting with Ali. She even got a kiss by the end of the weekend. 💕🐾 Karen was great about providing updates and even pics while I was away. I will for sure use Karen B again. Thanks!”

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets my entire life. Primarily with larger dogs and cats. When my son was in his young teens we had hamsters, poison dart frogs, turtles, in addition to our golden retriever and 2 cats. I have no problem administering medicine including shots. I am finding myself with extra time on my hands as my husband is trying to slow down in life. I currently do the invoicing for the construction company that we own and am very flexible with time. I live here full time and have excellent availability. I’ve been a high level athlete my whole life and I enjoy staying active. I live near Bakers Park and the Greenway. I am happy to transport pet in my SUV to safe walking areas. I’m also comfortable curled up with a book and a pet.

About: I have been fortunate enough to have a furry four legged friend in my house since I was a child. I love dogs and treat them like the family members they are. I will provide the highest quality care for your dog, making sure they feel cared for and loved even when you can't be with them. I have tons of experience watching other people's dogs, and have never had any issues. I am big and strong enough to comfortably handle large dogs, but i also have a soft spot for little guys like my current dog, Ted. Whatever your pooch needs, i can provide it will my flexible schedule. I am willing to go the extra mile to ensure that your dog is always properly cared for. I am of course local and have reliable transportation, so whenever you need assistance I can help, day or night. I hope to meet you and your companion soon. I am currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible. I will always try to prioritize your pet. I will provide prompt responses to any inquires. When caring for dogs in their owner’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I understand that being in a familiar environment can help dogs feel more relaxed while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship while also respecting a dog’s individual personality and boundaries. I also make sure the home is kept clean and secure, fresh water is always available, and I regularly check on the dog throughout my stay. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own and want both the pet and owner to feel safe and comfortable while they’re apart.

“Samantha was so wonderful with our dog and with us. We had a last minute trip away and Samantha was in constant communication with us on every walk. She’s also super sweet, dependable, reliable, and most of all, our dog loved her. We will definitely use her again and everyone should, too!”
