Dog Walking Carthage

“Charlotte walked my older dog and my crazy energy-filled puppy. She did a great job of taking our instructions and reading the dogs’ personalities and mood. She walked them a healthy distance everyday, even in gloomy weather. Definitely what we were looking for and I trusted her in my home without us being there.”

“Siri is great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and from the moment my dog met her, it was easy to see she understands and cares for animals. My dog can be shy with new people, but Siri has this calm confidence, and they connected immediately. Every walk was on time, with detailed updates and photos that gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting good care and happy. It’s good day when you find someone who treats your pet like their own, Siri is one of those special people. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and competent person to care for your pet.”

“Video chat was a great way to do an introduction and walk thru for first time meeting. Loved the pictures and video sent, made me confident my dog was happy and well cared for. Will use again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I love animals and currently have an Anatolian Shepherd who is 4. I am good with big and small dogs. I also have a cat! I work part-time with great flexibility for mornings & afternoons even some evenings, allowing me to easily adapt to your pet's specific routine, potty breaks, and daily exercise needs anytime. Whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's exact feeding, potty, and medication routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and keep environments completely secure. In mine, I ensure a fully pet-proofed, supervised setting, keeping you updated with photos along the way.

“Leidy was awesome. She was on time and followed the directions perfectly that were left for her! My dog had a blast and would highly recomened!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved animals! I've been a pet and house sitter for friends and family for over a decade, and I'll show the same care for your pet and space that you do! I work evenings so I would have availability in the morning and early afternoon. I would also be available for pet care full time on the weekends. I will always make sure your pet gets the full attention and care they deserve! Your home will be left just as clean as I found it, and I will treat it with respect.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

“Kylie has been the perfect Rover for our 18mo old Bernedoodle. She is so sensitive to Cocoa’s energy level and what the flow of the walk should be that day. She has a great sense of what our dog needs and I can tell our dog truly enjoys her visits. Could not recommend Kylie more she is a star!”

About: Hi! My name is Jenna, and my family and I are here to give your beloved furry friends the care and attention they deserve! With a lifelong passions for animals, I am here to ensure your pet's well-being and hapiness. Since I was a child, I never met an animal I didn't love. From caring for family pets to volunteering at local animal shelters, my love for our four-legged companions has only grown stronger over the years. My journey with animals has taken me through various roles, including working in veterinary offices, animal shelters, and pet shops. These experiences have equipped me with invaluable skills and knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I work at home fulltime, so I am available to give your pet plenty of attention. My husband works a hybrid job. We have two school aged children who have grown up with animals and are very knowledgeable about when to give pets their space, and when to engage in play. We have a large home with the ability to give your pet quiet space alone if needed, and plenty of indoor room for play when they want attention. We have a large unfenced backyard. My husband and I both go on morning and evening walks, and have lots of time to give your pet exercise as needed. Currently, I share my home with Subi, a big-hearted cat who has never met a stranger. He brings endless joy to my life with his playful antics and affectionate purrs. He does well with all other pets, but we do have the ability to keep him separated if your pet requires us to do so. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized care. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, grooming, or simply providing companionship while you're away, rest assured that your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I am committed to providing reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitting services, giving you peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for in the comfort of their own home.

“Sadie is the best! She is a great communicator and always lets me know in detail what’s going on with my pup! She even noticed a package on my porch and brought it in. Would recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born! Currently I have a dog and two cats of my own. I’ve been around and cared for animals of all sizes and breeds. I have a cat now that needs to take oral medication daily so I have experience there, and work from home so I’m fairly flexible on how I can care for your babies while you are away! I work from home, and at a restaurant on the weekends. So my availability is very flexible. I take my dog out every few hours to walk and smell around the neighborhood. I’m very active so if you have an active pet that’s great! But I can also take it slow if that’s what your senior baby needs. My dog is always leashes when outside for her safety as I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk on the sidewalks and always look out for traffic and other dogs!

About: I love working with dogs and tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or giving medication, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with senior dogs, so I understand the extra patience and attention they need, offering gentle walks, plenty of reassurance, and a calm, caring environment to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In your home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while keeping them on their usual routine. I make sure they’re closely supervised during outdoor time and always prioritize their safety and well-being.

“Libby is a great sitter! She takes my dog on neighborhood walks or if time and weather permit, adventures to a nearby walking path. She's easy to communicate with and has made me feel at ease while I'm at work! Thanks, libby”

I highly recommend Susan if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy caretaker.”

About: I have hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I care for dogs and cats every day. My experience includes handling, feeding, walking, administering medications, monitoring pets, assisting with treatments, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I’m comfortable working with pets of different personalities and energy levels, including nervous or anxious animals. I’m patient and attentive, and I always prioritize making pets feel safe and comfortable. Outside of work, I have a young Whippet of my own, so I understand how important exercise, enrichment, consistency, and patience are for young dogs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own! I am a full-time UC pre-veterinary student, and I work part time at Mason Family Pet Hospital. I have consistent breaks during my available weekdays to care for animals. I do my best to care for the animals as though they are one of my own. I try to read their behaviors to better understand their needs.

“Abbey is our regular dog walker, so this review is in reference to an ongoing commitment/arrangement. Abbey has been excellent with our elder dog. She is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. We have had no issues or concerns. We appreciate her and would recommend her services to others!”

“Maria and her husband were very welcoming. They respected the boundaries of our dog, who gets quite anxious around unfamiliar people. They were thoughtful, and together we planned activities that made us feel comfortable.”
