Dog Walking Cottage Grove

About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.

“Carol is great with my two dogs. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs since I was in high school. I have experience working with dogs all ages and sizes. Me and my family would take care and love your dog like they are our own. I work full time but have a flexible schedule where I can accommodate your pet(s). I am available some week days and most weekends, including holidays. Your pet will be well loved and attended for at our home. With a dog of my own, we go on frequent walks and have lots of snuggles. Your pet will feel like one of the family.

“Cleb walked our dogs over a period of two months. He was always punctual and very pleasant . My dogs were always excited to see him when he arrived. I would definitely recommend him to others and book him again.”

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

About: I’ve had my own dog for over 10 years and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. From 2020–2023, I helped care for and train my brother’s Cane Corso, and I regularly watch my cousin’s Dachshund throughout the year. As someone who also uses pet sitters when I travel, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind. I’ll treat your pet like family and provide loving, reliable care while you’re away. 🐾❤️ My work allows me flexibility throughout the day, making it easy for me to provide timely visits, walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. I care for pets in my home by keeping them on a consistent routine with an early morning walk, an evening walk, and supervised playtime in my large fenced-in backyard. I also have a friendly small dog, Leo, who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow all feeding schedules and care instructions to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.

“Beth is amazing and our dogs absolutely loved her (as did we). She kept in touch with us during our 10 day vacation and we felt very comfortable knowing our babies were in good hands. Will definitely use her services again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BETH!”

About: I enjoy training pups to use doggy doors and various simple tricks. I have experience with reactive dogs and understand if they can’t go to the dog park. I enjoy playing with dogs in a backyard or going for long walks at any pace. I am a student but only have class 3 days a week. I will be able to leave campus in between classes to give pets a break. When I am caring for pets I like to make sure they stick to the routines they are used to whether they are at home or not.

“So sweet and accommodating with our puppy.”

About: Hi, I have had dogs, horses, cats, hamsters and fish my entire life. There’s nothing I love more than being in the presence of all sweet creatures!! It’s the joy of my life! I am a Certified Reiki Master as well and happy to assist in any additional way you see fit for your pet. I finished my first book a now seeking multiple walks with new furry friends for my own dog!

About: I have experience owning and caring for Miniature Schnauzers and Miniature Dachshunds. These dogs have taught me so much about patience, companionship, routines, and the unique personalities and needs of different breeds. I truly love dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their families are away. I would treat every dog in my care like one of my own. As a self-employed person who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the animals in my care. Working from home means I can be available throughout the day for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs, while still keeping up with my own work responsibilities. I love having the opportunity to give pets the care, attention, and love they deserve while their families are away. I would care for a client’s pet as if it were my own. I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedule consistent, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep the home clean and safe, provide regular updates to the owner, and make sure their pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while they’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Abby. I have grown up with animals all my life, my family always had at least one dog. I believe dogs are part of the family and they bring so much joy to those around them. It is my job to make sure they are happy and healthy! I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and are familiar with basic training practices. I think it’s important that dogs get all the love they can, plenty of attention, and have a chance to run and get their energy out. I love taking dogs on walks and going to the dog parks. I’m comfortable taking care of multiple dogs and basic grooming, as well! I am looking forward to caring for your pet! I work from 7:30-3:30 during the week, but can walk the dog before/after work to make sure they get plenty of exercise and time outside! I have a huge yard with an invisible fence or a long lead that your dog can take advantage of, spend time outside, and run around!

“Amy was great! Our Yeti seemed to love her and he looked so happy on his walk. Highly recommend and will definitely have her care for our pup again in the future.”
