Dog Walking Cottage Lake

“Juniper did a wonderful job with my dog Peach’s first walk! She took the time to meet with us a day beforehand to learn our routine and asked great questions. Her summary of the walk was well detailed, and she included some great pictures! Peach is nervous around strangers, and Juniper did a great job being aware and thoughtful of that. Overall Juniper was lovely to deal with and I feel great about trusting her regularly for walks with Peach.”

About: I had a corgi until I was 12 years old who I fed, walked, and played with for much of my childhood. I also have frequently walked my neighbors’ dogs and gone over to feed/watch them when they aren’t at home, including when my neighbor’s golden retriever was still a puppy, although I am also capable of handling big dogs too. I have always loved animals and, especially as an introvert, getting to hang out with them all summer is something I am more than happy to do! I am currently back home for the summer until around mid August, and this is the only form of work I’ll be doing while I’m here. Any activity I want to do is something that can be done at more or less any time, meaning my schedule will be very flexible and able to cater to what you need. I make sure to give the animal as much space as needed before jumping straight in. Some pets are more reserved and it can be tough for them to get used to a new person in their space, so I like to make sure I meet them where they’re at. I ask the owner any questions I have both in advance and also while they’re gone if something comes up. I like to be prepared and know where everything is and how to deal with any situation that might occur, so open communication is something I really strive for.

“Jeremy is such a reliable and caring person. We left our Claya, our 14-year-old first baby, in his care for eight days—the longest time we’ve ever been apart. Jeremy kept us updated every step of the way, always going above and beyond, even coming in rainy and stormy weather. Thank you so much for all that you do, Jeremy. Best of luck to you, and thank you again!”

“Andi was extremely responsive and easy to work with for my last minute dog walking booking! Andi was great with my dog Maddy, and I would definitely book with Andi again.”

“Rachel has been wonderful with our dog, Hazel. She’s been taking Hazel on long weekday walks and has truly gone above and beyond. Hazel used to pull and get easily distracted on walks, which made them challenging, and Rachel immediately offered to work with her on loose-leash walking. In just a short time, Hazel has improved so much and is now walking calmly, paying attention, and doing great on leash. Rachel is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She sends thoughtful updates and the cutest photos, and Hazel absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she arrives. We’re so grateful to have found Rachel and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog walker.”

“Claudia came through for me at the last minute when everyone else I talked through in Rover fell through. She was attentive and communicative throughout and had the perfect energy to match my dog's. It is reassuring to know that there is someone trustworthy to reach out to in the future.”

“All year, twice per week, Hope has been a reliable caretaker for my dog. She’s consistent and communicative, and my dog loves her! I highly recommend her services. Thank you Hope!”

“Samantha started walking Benny last week. Her kind and calm demeanor and professionalism were obvious when she came for a meet and greet before her first walk. She is punctual, and Benny clearly loves her. More importantly, our cat gave her his instant approval! We are so happy to have her help as we acclimate to having a dog again, especially a puppy!”

“Brooke helped me out last minute when I unexpectedly needed a dog walker. I was nervous to hire somebody on the fly that I hadn’t met yet first but she was absolutely wonderful with my pups and they ended up really loving her. I even had neighbors comment on how happy my pups were when they saw her walking them and said they were prancing 🥹. She was trustworthy and communicative, and I would definitely have Brooke look after my pups again!”

“Jeff and Cathy are amazing with our pups. They always go the extra mile to make our dogs comfortable, happy and safe. Thanks to Cathy's observation of gradual changes in the behavior of one of our dogs, we were able to take her in for diagnostic tests which detected an internal tumor early enough to have it safely removed. If not for her, we might not have discovered it until much later. Thank you!”
