Dog Walking Buckheaven

About: I've been looking after dogs, primarily small ones, for quite a long time now. Have had to feed and walk and watch over them plenty of times over the years for family members. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite free, which includes all reasonable hours of the day. Currently unable to watch over animals at my place of living. I personally care for my own cat and one of my mother's dogs on the daily, but the house itself isn't fit for me to watch over any additional animals.

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

About: I have taken care of dogs for multiple years now. I love spending time with them and taking them on walks and being with them during the day!! I am currently in college but have breaks in between my classes that I would love to come and walk and take care of your dogs during those breaks. I have gone to others homes to care for their dogs for multiple years which includes spending time with them letting them outside and taking them on walks and feeding them.

“Siobhan was very attentive, kind and I could immediately tell she loved my dog. I felt very comfortable handing him over as she was very familiar with my neighborhood as she used to live close by. She was timely and communicative. I will be using her again.”

About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.

About: I have over 10 years experience both professionally and privately with dogs and other animals. I see pets as part of the family and am dedicated to their nurturing care. I am quite physically fit and will run with your dog if you'd like. I also can take care of cats or small animals if needed. I have worked for dog hotels, pet stores and personally house/pet sat for people. I have volunteered at shelters and rescues and can administer medications if needed! I love spending time with animals and would never leave one in a bad situation! I can deal with any size of dog and am experienced at reading temperaments. I am extremely reliable and use honest as my policy for life. Your pet is in caring and experienced hands with me :)

About: I’ve been a dog parent myself since I was 14. I have always loved helping family and friends take care of their pets. I raised my German shepherd from puppyhood, and more recently, I’ve been training my rescue dog, Thorn. I have experience working with puppies, reactive dogs, and dogs that need medication. Your dog’s needs will always come first! I just moved to the area and am searching for a permanent job, so I have plenty of daytime, weeknight, and weekend availability! I am not traveling over the holidays so I have availability to watch your pets if you’re traveling! In your home, I will make sure that your pets always have access to fresh water. I will feed them according to your schedule and any restrictions. I have experience working with dogs who have special needs, so I will be careful to follow any special directions or house rules. I will let them out to use the bathroom according to your schedule and/or as they indicate.

About: I have been around animals, both dogs and cats, for most of my life, so I know what goes into taking care of them (even the ones who need a little extra help). I am currently freelance and remote, so I am able to change my schedule around to suite the needs of both you and your pet. I am able to travel to your home either overnight or for drop-in care whenever needed. I will follow all set rules about whatever space I use to a T.

About: I have always had numerous pets of different breeds my entire life including cats, dogs and horses. Pets are an important part of any family and deserve the best when owners cannot be with them. Whether it is just a check in, overnight care or a daily exercise session I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I am a runner, so love exercising animals and have a schedule that allows for flexibility. I offer pet care in my home as well. My family is used to animals and we love to have visitors. We do have a gentle lab who loves to play and two cats who are completely comfortable with dogs. Please let me know how I can help you and your pet! Both my husband and Iwork from home, so I can provide fulltime care for any pet who needs it. We have plenty of room for your pet to be comfortable. I have a fenced yard and Prt Run to keep you fur baby safe and secure. I am also able to provide a crate if needed.

“Thank you for taking such good care of Minnie!!”

“Jennifer and her family were amazing and showed so much love to my pup! They sent me pictures when they picked her up and when they dropped her off for her walk and kept me informed the whole time. Will definitely be using their service again next time my pup needs a walk or a puppy play date. Thanks again Hoffman family!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was a child. I’ve been exposed to large dog breeds (ex. Rottweilers & German Shepherds) as well as small dog breeds (ex. corgis & dachshund's). I am a certified dog trainer, with 9 years experience and can work in some Basic Obedience work with your dog during their stay or we can talk about some behavior modification and steps to move forward for private lessons. I currently work part time and have plenty of time and energy to work with and take care of your pup. I work with my own dogs twice a day but those sessions are very flexible. I don’t currently have a fully fenced in yard, but I have access to 5 private acres I can walk your pup on a long line. I utilize martingale collars to prevent any mishaps or escaping. I utilize positive reinforcement to connect and have clear communication with each dog I interact with.

“Cristina has been awesome for walking my two dogs! They have been insane since I broke my leg and since the walks started they have been more calm. I definitely recommend Cristina!”
