Dog Walking Columbia Gardens

About: I took care of my aunt’s dog named Batman for 8 years until my aunt moved away. Ever since I have always enjoyed taking care of animals like dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and chickens! I currently work Sun-Thurs from 1pm to 9:30pm. I don’t have anything that needs my attention before I need to get to work! I am fully free Friday and Saturdays! I have a fenced yard and a dog park down the block. I have an old crate that can be used if needed and no other dogs or cats in the home.

“Tinwa & JieYing have been amazing. Very attentive to our Goldens needs, awesome communication, friendly and reliable. We highly recommend them. David G.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have several cats of my own, and I’ve even trained one of them to shake hands, roll over, spin, and play dead—yes, really! I believe that building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for animals, and I always use calm, patient, and positive interactions. Over the past few years, I’ve also helped care for a senior Golden Retriever and friends’ cats, so I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet is playful and curious, shy and cautious, or just wants a quiet companion, I’ll meet them where they are and treat them like part of the family. I currently offer cat boarding, small dog boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also welcome small dogs who are comfortable and friendly around cats. Since cats are part of our everyday household, I want to make sure boarding is safe and enjoyable for both your dog and my resident pets. Small dogs will be treated as part of the family and will have plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship during their stay. For boarding, I live in a spacious 3-bedroom house with my 7 friendly and social cats. My cats are used to living in a multi-cat household and enjoy having companions around. Boarding cats will be able to live, relax, sleep, and play alongside my cats as part of the household rather than spending their stay confined to a separate room. Photos Guaranteed! I love capturing special moments and will always send lots of pictures during each visit so you feel connected and reassured while you're away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My schedule is currently very flexible, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home for much of the day and can easily adjust my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medications, or any other special needs your pet may have. For boarding pets, this also means they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to spend plenty of time with them throughout the day, whether they want to play, explore the house, relax with the other pets, or simply have some quiet company. Because my schedule is flexible throughout the week, I’m also able to accommodate different routines and provide care that stays as close as possible to what your pet is used to at home. I will hold the leash tight if we meet any dogs or human on the way, if your dog is too excited I will use my body to block the sight.

“Natalia was very patient with our border collie who can pull a lot during walks and is over all too energetic most of the time. Her walks really helped Millie be happier during the day before we came hom!”

“Daria is an exceptional pet sitter who has a remarkable ability to connect with our pups. Her patience, love, and compassion are evident in her interactions with them. She has a keen understanding of our dogs’ unique training styles, and they readily follow her lead. I highly recommend Daria for any pet care needs.”

“Thank God for Marlene! My last minute work trips she always books comes through works it into her schedule. She is the best with my super hyper Belgium malinois puppy. She always provides a pic she even will do clean up service for your puppy and give them water. She's just a solid dog walker!”

Michelle C.

“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My care includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on their unique routines and personalities. I’m a college student so I have a lot of free times in my hands. There isn’t anything else I’d rather do than to spend time with your doggies If pets are in my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of supervision, cozy spaces for rest, and opportunities for play and exercise. I always use secure leashes and watch closely on walks to keep pets safe. My goal is to give each pet the right balance of structure, affection, and fun so they feel loved and well cared for.

“Sydney was an absolute trooper getting the harness on my dog. Penny was very skittish about someone else putting it on her, but they were super patient and had a successful walk! They also paid great attention to the house alarm system/lock and had no issues with following directions. Would highly recommend for their calm, patient, and caring attitude!”

About: Every dog is treated like part of our family. Unlike many sitters, we board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pet receives our full attention in a calm, low-stress home environment. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods. We welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that require daily medications. We’ll keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible—from feeding and walks to playtime, potty breaks, and medications—so you can travel with complete peace of mind. Throughout your dog’s stay, you’ll receive plenty of photo and video updates, so you’ll always know they’re happy, safe, and having a great time with us. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 12-year old daughter and a 3-year-old son. Our family recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after 14 wonderful years, so I understand that pets are truly family. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can feel safe and comfortable. Our fully fenced yard provides a secure place to play, and I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine—including walks, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and plenty of love—so they feel right at home while you’re away. We’re a dog-friendly family with a secure, fenced backyard where your pup can play, relax, and enjoy plenty of fresh air. With your permission, dogs are welcome on the couch and are treated like part of our family during their stay. My children love animals, so for everyone’s safety, all dogs must be friendly and comfortable around kids, with no history of aggression toward children. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, providing a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of individual attention. I provide daily neighborhood walks based on your dog’s routine and needs. Longer walks or hikes are also available for an additional fee. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets and have spent my entire life caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. For over 12 years, friends and family have trusted me as their go-to person for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after their animals — long before I made it a profession. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-dog households. Every pet in my care gets photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your dog is happy, safe, and loved. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care.

Potty breaks will be according to however the owner pet would like to keep your dog comfortable and on routine.

About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!

“Haylee is so good with animals! She took the time to let my nervous dogs warm up to her before attempting to leash and walk them. She is very in tune with animal energy which is what I need for my two!! Will definitely book again.”

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

“Thank you so much for great service. She worked with my dog so well and had great energy. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”
