Dog Walking Cherrydale

About: I have had a mini Goldendoodle for the past five years and raising him has made me adore dogs. Seeing all their unique personalities is enjoyable and I love giving them the best life possible. I regularly watch his cousin so I have plenty of experience handling multiple dogs. I work from home so have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I currently walk my dog a few times throughout the day to get out of the house. I provide attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes by following their instructions and maintaining their dog’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping their home clean and secure.

“Kelly is a fantastic walker and our Ducky has been extremely happy and satisfied with each walk! Kelly is very detailed and will give updates on what Ducky did and where he went after every walk”

“Our whole family loves Amanda. From the first day she came to meet our 2 pups, they immediately took to her. She’s incredibly warm and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs with different needs, as well as reliable and great with communicating. We’re very, very lucky to have her taking care of our fur babies”

“Dominique was great with my two dogs. They loved him immediately. Dominique was very flexible when I had to add in a couple of additional walks due to work commitments. I would highly recommend him.”

“If my pug Mimi could leave a review herself for Haoran (Selina), it would probably go something like this: “I had such a lovely walk! Since I’m older now, I really appreciate someone patient, gentle, and happy to go at my pace. She took wonderful care of me and sent my mama adorable photos. I came home with extra treats and lots of tail wags. Her calm, sweet demeanor made me feel comfortable. My mama says she’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cares about every dog she meets. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and family for many years now, making me accustomed to all types. I lived with a cat for 3 years so I’m very accustomed to the routine of feeding, stimulating, and cleaning after a cat. My job is wfh, so I’d be flexible to keep your pet(s) company! I have a wfh job so my availability is very flexible. I’m also living solo so I’d also be flexible to take care of your pet(s) at my own home if need be. The way I care for pets are uniquely dependent on the routine that pet owners have already implemented with their pets. I like to respectfully stick to that routine as it’s something that the pets are already accustomed to.

“Pablo my Great Dane loved Felipe ! Felipe was very friendly with him and arrived on time as expected. I would definitely ask for Felipe’s help again”

“An absolute dog whisperer! Julia has been amazing with our dog Banx who was from a rescue and very anxious with strangers. He warmed up to her immediately and is so excited to see her every morning! We are thrilled to be working with her!”

About: I've been dog-sitting for a few years for friends and family and love having extra furry friends around the house! I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, have raised a few puppies, and currently live with a very sweet dog named Olive and an adorable cat named Mancha. I currently work from home so I can spend all day with your pups! Available for boarding for most weekdays and weekends except when traveling. I live near a trail for easy walks, and Olive loves to hang our with her doggy friends! I have multiple bedrooms if your pup prefers their space and a spare crate and tons of extra toys ❤️

“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”

“Great job working with my pup and keeping me updated!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since before I could walk — and after 17 years with our beloved Bagel, our home still feels made for them. Our family genuinely misses having a dog around, which is exactly why we started boarding: we want that energy back in our house. We regularly sit for family, friends, and neighborhood dogs, and our three boys are natural animal lovers who know how to read a dog's mood and give them space or affection accordingly. We have a yard the dogs love, and we're happy to take your pup on walks too. Beyond dogs, I've cared for iguanas, bunnies, and chinchillas over the years — so I'm comfortable with animals in general and take their care seriously. Your dog won't be a transaction here. They'll just be part of the family for a few days. Pet care fits naturally into our routine because someone is almost always home. I work remotely and can be around whenever needed, and my wife is home throughout the day. We're a busy, active family — weekends especially involve youth sports — but we're always close by and happy to be home as much as your dog needs. Your dog won't spend long stretches alone here. That's just not how our house works. When your dog stays with us, they're treated like a member of the household — not a guest in a crate. They'll have full access to our home and backyard, get walks, and have three boys who will absolutely not leave them alone (in the best way). We stick to whatever feeding schedule and dietary needs you set, and we'll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your pup is doing. We ask that you share anything we should know upfront — quirks, triggers, preferences — so we can make sure your dog is comfortable from day one.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15 years old. Lots of experience with playing, feeding, walking, and bathing pets if necessary. Comfortable working with pups and kitties of all ages and sizes. I work from home full time so can step out during the day and work around any scheduled meetings I have. Happy to check in multiple times a day or whenever preferred. I can drive to your home to accommodate you and your pets schedule. Also happy to send pictures, updates and spend however long preferred with your furry friend.

About: I have hands-on experience with pets of all energy levels and personalities—from my family’s energetic chihuahua mix to two relaxed cats. As a graduate student in the city, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I adapt my care to each pet’s personality, whether playful, independent, or calm, and I follow instructions closely to ensure their routines are maintained. As a full-time graduate student with a part-time job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent, focused time to pets. Caring for animals fits naturally into my week because I prioritize it like any important commitment. I enjoy walks, playtime, and quiet companionship, ensuring pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their humans are away I provide care primarily in the client’s home so pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, maintain routines, and provide plenty of attention. I also take dogs on walks around the neighborhood when appropriate. While I haven’t yet handled pets who require complex or frequent medical care, I’m experienced with giving routine medication, and I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on providing excellent care for everyday needs.
