Dog Walking Bertram

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and haven't lived a single day without one! I’m equally experienced with both cats and dogs, ranging from energetic puppies and kittens to gentle seniors. I treat every pet in my care like part of my own family, so you can count on them being thoroughly spoiled and loved the entire time! My schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to easily drop in, walk, and spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I care for regular weekly pet clients Monday through Friday while keeping my weekends open, which gives me plenty of freedom to seamlessly weave your pet’s specific routine right into my day. I’m more than happy to offer constant care if your pet needs 24/7 supervision! Because this requires dedicated round-the-clock attention, higher rates do apply. Whether your pets prefer staying in their own comfortable environment or joining me at my house—where we have a great unfenced yard for leashed exploration—they’ll be in wonderful hands! I handle every part of their daily routine—including feeding, exercise, medication, and lots of individual affection. As a responsible pet owner, all of my own pets are fully up to date on vaccinations, wellness visits, and monthly preventatives. I always respect your home, follow your specific care instructions, and ensure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away.

“Karley agreed to Help with very short notice and followed the care directions based on text and photo instruction. She was on time for both her visits and sent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommended”

“Was super sweet and Poe loved her.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for

About: I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience, and an Equissage-certified canine massage therapist. I notice things most pet sitters don’t. I understand that boarding can disrupt a dog’s nervous system. Some dogs do better at home while you’re away, and my massage therapy background means I have techniques that genuinely help calm and settle an anxious or overstimulated dog in their own environment. During drop-in visits and walks, I’m assessing your dog the whole time. Gait, energy, behavior, subtle signs that something’s off. You’ll hear about it either way. I’m experienced with medically complex dogs, seniors, and anxious dogs, and equally comfortable with your healthy, bouncy lab who just needs a solid walk. Cats are absolutely welcome. Cat owners, I see you. Your cat has a whole life, a whole routine, and very strong opinions. I get it. Fill me in on the Royal Treatment and I’ll do my best to make sure it happens. I also have canine hospice care experience. If your pet needs extra care or if you need respite, I am available to help. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friend(s) soon. 🐾 I offer drop-in visits and dog walks seven days a week. Visits are typically 30 minutes. I send updates with photos at every visit so you know exactly how things are going. I’m a veterinary technician with emergency and critical care experience. I know how to recognize when something is wrong and what to do about it. All dogs are kept leashed on walks unless we are in a securely fenced area. If your dog jumps fences, we do not go off leash outside. I do not combine your dog with unfamiliar dogs without prior owner approval. I come to you. Drop-in visits and walks take place in your home and neighborhood, which means your dog stays in a familiar environment with their own smells, sounds, and routine intact. I treat every client’s home with respect and leave it exactly as I found it. For drop-in visits that occur at dark or during nighttime hours, I may occasionally have another person with me. This is for my own safety.

About: I provide personalized care, puppy training support, and gentle senior care, ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while maintaining routines and clear communication. I’m currently working part-time as a dog daycare attendant, and pet care fits naturally into my routine with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and reliable experience. I follow pets’ routines per the client for feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and medications, keeping spaces clean and safe while providing care in the client’s home.

About: I have always had a strong passion and love for animals. I worked in a veterinary clinic for a months and I absolutely loved it! I have a dog and a cat of my own, i walk my dog daily and i take care of my animals every morning and night. I make sure they have food, water, a clean litter box, and enough love. I make sure that they are taken care of food wise, bathroom, toys, treats, and I give them enough love and attention that they deserve.

“She has been very pleasant to work with Thank you so much”

About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.

About: Drop ins: I’ll take your dog on a little walk before feeding them and spending time with your little furry love (20-30 minutes or so) Walking: I’ll take your pooch for a walk and/or run for as long as they require. House sitting: we will go on walks, snuggle, eat and I will be respectful of the owners home- clean up after myself and the animal so you come home to a nice clean home and you don’t have to rush to take care of your beloved fur baby! Boarding: not my preferred method of watching your pooch but if it’s absolutely needed, I can accommodate to make your pooch feel warm and welcome in my home.I have 2 large male dogs and a 2 year old- they’re great but getting older and less tolerant of other dogs.

About: I have been working in veterinary medicine for 4 years this January! I love and care for all animals but I also have a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety I am currently working full time, with Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off. I do get a break in the middle of the day to take care of any of the animal’s needs! I currently do not have any pets in my home. Crate/kennel training or a fenced in yard isn’t necessary. Leash trained preferably but not required.

“Meghan was amazing and helped us out very last minute! She took great care of my dog, I will definitely use her again.”
