Dog Walking Chester

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up on a farm and we always had dogs and cats as well as other pets. I love snuggling with animals and helping them feel comfortable while their families are on vacation I have been retired almost a year and would like to do this as a way to keep busy and earn some extra income. I am available most anytime. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. They will be well cared for and very happy until their family returns home.

About: I am currently studying dog training and actively working toward professional certification. I focus on positive reinforcement, reading canine body language, and creating calm, structured environments tailored to each dog’s needs. This allows me to provide safe, thoughtful care, especially for dogs who are anxious, high-energy, or need consistency. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I keep days structured with regular walks, enrichment, and downtime, and I work from home so pets are rarely left alone. This works especially well for dogs who do better with consistency or need a calmer environment. I provide pet sitting in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their own familiar environment. I follow your routines closely, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment, while keeping stress low and schedules consistent.

“Cathy did so well with our German Shepherd. He pulls us pretty hard on walks, but wasn’t an issue for Cathy. She was prompt and caring and very communicative. Would definitely request her services again!”

“Anna is great with my aging beagle. Some days my beagle wants to do a lot of walking and sometimes she just wants to sunbath in the grass and Anna is accommodating in either scenario!”

About: I started house sitting for family/friends when I was younger. I’ve worked at a dog boarding facility since the day I turned 16 and absolutely love animals!

I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care.

I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to keep pets on the schedule they’re used to while providing lots of love, enrichment, and regular updates for their owners. When caring for pets in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while you’re away. I respect your home as if it were my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and tidy during my visits. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, along with messages so you always know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had a dog pretty much growing up and one in my adult life. I have taken care of my parents cat during the summer while they are on vacation. As of now, I’m pet sitting part-time. I make sure that pets have fresh food and water every morning. I also take them outside every couple of hours to do what they need. I love to have your dogs outside as much as possible. A fenced in backyard would be ideal, but I also love going to local parks give your furry friend some exercise.

About: I have owned many dogs and cats my whole life and have cared for them in all aspects! I have taken care of many peoples pets since I was old enough to drive! I have trained all my dogs successfully as well as puppies and also taken care of many senior pets. I am currently attending college on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s so I have time to come and love on your pet on Monday’s, Wednesdays and Fridays! Depending on the time I could possibly come on my school days as well! I have a big yard at my home for your pet to enjoy and tons of love and care to give your pet at any location!

About: I have always grown up with dogs whether they were a lab, a pug or a pitbull. Was also a dog bather for a dog salon in East Lansing area in Michigan. Trying to raise money for a new car, and take care of my pup. I am currently a Real Estate Agent! So my time is always managed in the right way and can always work around the pets needs! Always using a leash to ensure they don’t go anywhere without me. I am able to crate the dog or whatever is necessary for you and the dog to be happy.

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them until they were old. I am good with pets loving and stern.I will care for all animals like they are mine. I currently have a part time job where I work in the mornings. I am usually free after 3 and early mornings. I have plenty of free time now that it is summer. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can run. I have a dog friendly house where they can’t get in to anything that may hurt them. I can keep them company and provide toys as well.

About: What truly sets my home apart is that your pets get the entire place to themselves-no strangers, no unfamiliar animals, and no chaos. I only host one household at a time (whether that's one pet or a pair from the same family), and we don't have any pets of our own. It’s just me and my husband in our home, so your dog or cat will get 100% of our attention without the stress of sharing space. I absolutely love dogs, but because we travel, we aren't able to commit to having one full-time right now. Rover is the perfect fit-it lets us give all our love and attention to your pets while helping you out when you're away. Here is what your pet's stay with us looks like: A fully fenced yard: Plenty of safe, secure space for sniffing, playing, and stretching their legs whenever they want. Built-in full-time company: I work remotely from home, so your pet won't be sitting alone waiting for someone to come back. They’ll have a full-time coworker keeping them company, giving belly rubs, and letting them out throughout the day. Total peace of mind: I know how hard it is to leave your best friend. My husband and I make sure you get plenty of photo and video updates while you're away so you always know they're relaxed and happy. Safety First: The Meet & Greet I want you to feel completely confident leaving your family member with us. I require a Meet & Greet before any first booking so we can all meet, check out the space, and make sure it’s the perfect fit. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always our top priority! Because I work from home full-time, my schedule naturally revolves around the pets in my care. Since we host only one household at a time, your pet becomes a seamless part of our daily home routine rather than just a quick check-in. Here is what a typical day looks like with us: Morning: We start the day with a morning walk and breakfast to burn off some early energy before I log on for work. Workday: While I’m at my desk, pets love to nap by my feet or cozy up nearby. We take regular breaks throughout the day for backyard playtime in our fully fenced yard, potty breaks, and belly rubs. Afternoon: A mid-day walk or enrichment session to keep their minds active and happy. Evening: After work, I usually head out for a yoga class (about two - 3 hours total), while my husband is often home or we coordinate so your pet is never left alone for long. The rest of the night is for relaxation-dinner, a late evening stroll or yard play, and plenty of couch cuddles before bed. My husband and I treat every guest like family, ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Here is how we care for your pet in our home: A Safe & Secure Environment: With a fully fenced yard, a pet-free house, and no outside animals coming in, your pet can freely explore and relax without any territorial stress. Maintaining Their Familiar Routine: We follow your exact instructions for feeding times, potty schedules, walks, and house rules so your pet stays in their normal rhythm. Comfort & Personal Space: Whether your dog loves cuddling on the couch or your cat prefers a quiet, cozy corner in our home office while I work, we adapt to whatever makes them feel most at ease. Constant Attentiveness: Because I work remotely and it’s just the two of us here, your pet gets continuous supervision, gentle interaction, and immediate attention whenever they need to go outside or play.

About: I've owned cats and dogs of all ages my entire life. When I was in middle school I use to professional show pure bread shelties and smaller dogs of the like. I don't currently own any dogs but I do have a cat that I'm in the process of moving down from michigan. I currently am between jobs. I do work for doordash and instacart to help make ends meet. With that being said I have plenty of time to drop in and visit or play or even walk your loving fur babies! I'm open to caring for your fur babies in anyway you need. I cannot currently bring any pets into my house at the moment, so my visits and drop-ins will have to be at the clients house.
