Dog Walking in Columbia

“Jessica is such a great resource and I’m thankful she can walk my two big dogs. She is so patient with both of my dogs, and gives them exercise and some extra love!”

“I have known Abby for 15 years and she has always been passionate about her love for animals. She loves and cares for her family pets like they are her children and was absolutely devastated when she lost a childhood dog. I would trust Abby to watch my own pets, so there’s no doubt in my mind that others can trust her too!”

“I can not say enough amazing things to describe Teresa as a dog walker for my older dog. She has been absolutely awesome and I feel like I am leaving Prada in the most capable hands and I know she’s going to be spoiled!”

“My pets LOVE Brianna! She shows up rain or shine! I can always count on her to identify when my pets are acting different from their usual and cater to their needs while I’m away at work<3”

“Bella is a #1 fan of all animals. She has loved them since she was a child, carrying chickens around, snuggling with cats, and teaching dogs new tricks. She has 9 of her own pets including a dog, snakes, turtles, and lizards. She has worked at the tie dyed iguana since she was 12! She is so knowledgeable about all kinds of animals and is planning to attend college in the fall and study pre-vet. Honestly, you won’t be able to find a more responsible, more animal loving person than Bella. Your pets will thank you for hiring Bella!”

“Hailea is a life saver, I was refered to her through a friend of the family when I got stuck out of town for work and I reached out to her and she was able to take care of my 2 kitties without any notice. She was able to modify her schedule and take care of them last minute and she even took the time to stay and play with them for a while so they weren't alone. I would recommend Hailea to anyone who needs a pet sitter she is just awesome.”

“Lydia does amazing with my high energy puppy!!! She was super flexible as plans changed and always responds to my messages quickly. She pays attention and leaves me a detailed report card with lots of pictures. I feel safe leaving my sweet girl in Lydia’s care and love that while in the crazy process of moving across the country, I know I have a reliable dog walker. 10/10 she’s the best! :)”

“Alisa is very kind. My pup Harvey warmed to her quickly and I also have a rescue pup that rarely goes up to strangers but she came to Alisa with no problem and my pup wagged her tail. I highly recommend Alisa!”

“Sadie loves to go on her walk/run/sniffs with Shenice. She has always promptly replied to requests, questions, and messages. She is committed and attentive to Sadie’s needs. So thankful we found Shenice.”

“Carmen is one of the most loving people I've ever met. She has so much love for animals (especially dogs) that I as a veterinary technician am astonished by. I've seen her with her own dog, as well as many other that she knows or we have met, and she treats them with such respect and love that you don't see very often. She sees them as equal with humans, values them as members of one's family, and takes the absolute best care of any animal she comes across. I would trust her with my pets whole heartedly and believe that she would be a wonderful pet caregiver.”

“I worked with Zoe at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility for ~8 months, and she is very much an animal lover. She is hard-working, dedicated, and thorough with her work, and loves cats and dogs. She is assertive when she needs to be, and loving and playful when the time is right. She is a quick learner and is also able to pick up on dog body language, positive and negative, and control an animal if necessary. She is careful with rules, on time with procedures, and thoroughly a great worker. She will give your animals the utmost care and protect their safety at all times.”

“Emily was amazing. She was in contact with me every time she walked Teddy and always sent precious pictures. I felt like she took such great care of our fur baby. Thanks Emily”

“I am one of those people who say “my dog is my world”, which I mention because I want to be clear I have high expectations for someone looking after my dog. Becca is one of the few people with the knowledge, care and joy that I look for in someone that is taking care of my pup. My dog gets so excited whenever she sees Becca and I love that very visible connection between them. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Loves all dogs as if they were his own! He follows instructions and takes excellent care of all dogs and takes care of owners property!”

“Anja's passion for animals is part of who she is. I have seen this her entire life. This passion has led her to pursue a degree in Animal Science, then on to veterinary school. She's spent the last year as a vet tech at a local clinic and has competed at the state level in veterinary science. Anja is mature beyond her years and has great ability to adapt to most any situation. She has many years experience with a variety of dogs and cats, both big and small, as well as experience with horses. Anja also has an affection for snakes and some other exotics. If you're looking for a mature, trustworthy and honest individual to help with your pets, Anja is your girl.”

About: Growing up, I was torn between becoming a veterinarian or a doctor. I’m now a medical student who is passionate about making sure animals are comfortable and at ease when their owners are away. I’m home full time before my job begins in the fall, so my pet care schedule is quite flexible. I am also available to board because of this! I believe all dogs are like snowflakes- each one has a very unique personality! If I’m housesitting or boarding, I take the time to ask owners a few questions about their furry friend so I can provide the best experience. Scroll below to see how I do home visits, walks, boarding, and cat care! For dog walks: I like making sure dogs have the chance to smell everything to their hearts desire- so I’ll find interesting and fun walking areas to take them! (Sometimes I’ll bring my partner along on the adventure!) If you have a higher energy dog, I have no problem taking them for light jogs or a few miles worth of walks. For longer walks, I’ll be bringing water and a portable water bowl with us. Expect to be sent some insta-worthy dog pictures! For home visits: At the first dog home visit, I devote more time bonding with them and learning about who they are (treats work wonders!). If a dog is on the shy side, I’ll give them space and keep them company while reading a book. For outgoing dogs, I’ll offer cuddles and play with whatever toys they have on hand. I carry my own potty bags, and will always take a dog on a potty break and small walk during a home visit. For dogs with medical needs, I will give medications and provide closer updates. You can expect a photo or two + report card for each home visit! For cat visits: I’m a cat owner myself, and I know how shy some feline friends can be. I am very respectful of their space and personalities. During each home visit, I’ll change their waters, clean their litter boxes la thoroughly, and make sure I can lay eyes on your cat. I’ll spend time playing with high energy cats (read: orange!) . For shy cats, I’ll read for a little to give them company. I’m very comfortable giving medication, brushing teeth, and clipping claws! Expect a few photos and videos.

“Taylor was great! She came over the day before to meet the doggies. Even though the times I originally requested were a little difficult for her schedule that day (it was last minute,) she did all she could to make it as close as possible- and ended up being there about the time I had requested anyway. I scheduled two visits in one day, and while I said the second visit only needed to be a feed and let out in the yard - she asked if they could still go for a walk. :) She was also very observant and noticed a small scratch on one of my dogs, sent a photo, and asked if I wanted her to treat it. I really appreciate all the attentiveness; and the above and beyond she provided for my babies. Most importantly, the dogs seemed to really like her too. :) We are already planning for her to return. Thank you!”

“Maddie is awesome and so great with our doggo! She is thoughtful about making sure he well taken care of when leaving him after walks, not to mention our dog loves her!”

“Julia helped me in a serious situation when I couldn’t get my dog out for a walk. She was prompt, and she took great care of our big dog. His tail wagged like crazy every time he saw her coming!”

“Jennie is awesome! We needed someone to come over and let our 2 dogs out mid-day, walk them and play with them a bit. She has gone above and beyond and has exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend her. She’s a star!”
