Dog Walking Brighton

“Anne consistently takes such good care of Piper. She’s been with us for over a month now and I can see a positive difference in how piper behaves on walks. She’s doing much better with her reactivity and Anne has taught me a few tips and tricks to use with her that help a lot.”

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life and have always been a true dog lover. Since I was in high school, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and boarding in my own home. Little did I know, I was slowly building a small clientele of furry friends, many of whom I still care for to this day! I have preferences listed, but I’m flexible! If your situation doesn’t quite match them but you like my profile, feel free to send a request anyway. I have limited experience caring for cats and am allergic, so I don’t accept cat-only bookings. However, I’m happy to care for cats while house sitting for your dog, as my allergy isn’t severe enough to keep me from doing so. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments (so far). I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and no pets of my own at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I normally send daily pictures and updates to pet owners so they can see how their pup is doing while they’re away! I treat every dog like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.

“Stephanie was absolutely fabulous to work with! It was my first time scheduling a dog walker and I was extremely pleased with Stephanie’s service. I would highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!!”

About: I have raised and loved two boxer dogs over the past 25 years and also 5 stray cats/kittens in this time period. Walks are fun. I am retired for 15 months now so I have a very flexible schedule but I do have seasonal part time local job. I love to be outside and take walks on a regular basis. I was a dog and cat owner for decades. I took them to all their vet appointments over the years. My dogs were always on a leash for walks.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂

“Katie is great with Shasta. She is always quick to respond even to last minute requests. She even put my trash out for me I was so appreciative.”

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”

About: I grew up with dogs and I have owned a dog for 40+years. I raised German Shepard and Pitbulls. Sadly, I lost both my Pitbulls last year. I love to walk dogs and snuggle as well. I am a retired teacher. I am trustworthy and understand the importance of loving and caring for all dogs. I am retired so I have flexibility. I am very busy with my grandchildren, but again, I am flexible. I will keep pets over night. I live in a condo and the community welcomes pets and there are all kinds of breeds. There is a nice grass area to walk the dogs with a lovely paved 1 mile loop to walk through a beautiful community.

About: I have been taking care of animals of many different breeds and species for almost my whole life! I have owned rodents, reptiles, aquatic animals, avians, and canines alike! I currently own a chocolate lab who is the love of my life and have experience taking care of her while my parents are on vacation! I am a big lover of all creatures and give them the special treatment they deserve! I am currently working part time at Ulta around 11-15 hours a week. I am usually home in the afternoons or early mornings to take care of pets. I am also a student who goes to school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this semester. I take my dog out on night walks and usually feed her early in the morning so she is set for the day! I have safe locks and a wide yard for my dog to roam. She also has an E-collar to keep her safe so she knows where her boundaries are. We also get rid of trees that may cause hazards. We have flat ground too.

“I would 100% recommend and use Loren again to care for our dog. She was flexible, patient, and actively gave me updates (photos, texts and videos!) of Mav. She went above and beyond expectations and I could see the difference when we got home! Mav is usually pretty upset when we get back from a trip but he was in great spirits.”

“So sweet and so good with our pups! Our older pup is very skeptical of people and doesn’t usually let many people pet him, but he went right up to Abigail! (:”

About: My experience and background with animals spans over the course 20 years. I've worked as a veterinary technician, fostered nearly 2 dozen puppies for rescue programs, and founded my own successful non-profit rescue & conservation program dedicated to primitive canids. I had the wonderful experience of helping one of these rare dogs whelp & raise a massive litter of 12. I've owned numerous breeds including a Beagle, working-line German Shepherd, working-line Anatolian Shepherd, and numerous primitives such Carolina Dogs, a coydog hybrid, & an imported Canaan Dog. I've trained dogs in sports such as schutzhund & nosework. I established my private dog training business in 2019- specializing in puppies and working dogs such as service & livestock guardian dogs. I've been blessed to own two wonderful cats! On our homestead we had an incredible indoor/outdoor boy that kept the rodents at bay. We also have a sweet, indoor-only kitty that lives the high life with raw food & endless cuddles! I'm thoroughly experienced in caring for senior dogs & cats, administering medications, first aid, & wound care. I've fed numerous specialized diets, including fully raw. I adore the puppy stage- including crate training, potty training, & socialization. I'm a strong advocate for socialization that bolsters confident neutrality. A puppy's endless curiosity is so fun to harness! I enjoy giving dogs a balance of outdoor exercise like hiking, as well as indoor mental enrichment like games and puzzles. A tired dog is a happy dog! I train dogs part time & homeschool my daughter- which lends me a great deal of flexibility in my schedule. I can often accommodate short notice requests. Your beloved pet's safety is critical to me. I'm extremely cautious with opening & closing doors so no animals can slip through a door, check the fit of a dog's collar to prevent potential backing out, & ensure there's nothing a pup or kitty could get into thats potentially dangerous. I have a very strong preference for using martingale collars on dogs for walks to mitigate that risk. I've personally endured the tragedy of my young dog slipping the door and being hit by a car while a sitter was taking care of him- so I assure you I take this very seriously. Building trust with both owners and their pets is pivotal! I'm committed to open communication and honesty. I allow pets to greet me on their terms and understand some animals need a more patient, gentle approach than others. I strive to create a positive, calm environment for your pets- and once I'm trusted by them, I will add the playfulness and affection they deserve!

About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover! I have a medium senior dog of my own and a small family dog. I have experience working at a doggy daycare for 9 months and I currently work at an animal shelter, working with the dogs! My work schedule can vary so please reach out to see if I am available and I would love to try and work something out! I usually work between 1-9pm! I’m happy to care for your pet how you see fit! I will make sure your pet is safe and well cared for, as well as all the pets they want!!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always around pets and started pet sitting and dog walking at a young age. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my routine while making sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home and your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and cared for throughout my visit.

About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently between jobs after moving and have an open calendar. I'm working on securing a part-time remote job that I can work around your pets needs with. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.

“Haley is AMAZING! She is great with my puppy, Winston, and is always so accommodating with my crazy schedule and last minute requests. She is my go to for watching my Winston (and he absolutely adores her!)”

About: I’ve had the privilege of having at least one dog in my life at all times, so I truly understand the bond we share with our furry family members. From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs in their golden years, I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. Whether it's a spunky Chihuahua or a high-energy Labrador or Dalmatian, I've worked with them all! With a deep love for animals, I provide not only safe and reliable care but also a fun, enriching environment for your dog. I pride myself on ensuring they have a great time while prioritizing their safety and well-being. I also have extensive medical knowledge, so if any health concerns arise, you can rest easy knowing I’m prepared to handle the situation. I completely understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your beloved pet, as I've been in that position myself. That's why I treat every dog I care for like my own, providing the love, attention, and care they deserve. During the week I am home from Monday through Friday. That free time allows me the opportunity to care for your animals and give them the time and attention they deserve. My neighborhood is pet friendly , with plenty of grass and space for a healthy stay. My home is clean and pet proofed to ensure a safe stay.
