Dog Walking in Damascus

About: I started my own dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 14. I have genuine love for dogs, I bring reliability, patience, and attentiveness to every dog walking session. Your furry companion's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I ensure they receive the exercise and attention they need. From navigating different personalities to handling various breeds, I have the expertise to cater to your dog's unique needs. When you hire me, you're not just getting a walker; you're gaining a trustworthy and compassionate companion for your beloved pet. I am also a intern at a veterinary hospital where I have learned a lot about animal welfare. I currently only have one class from 8am-10:15am and I am free in the early mornings, early and late afternoons, and night time. I work 2 jobs on the weekends so availability on those days may differ. I pamper every single pet I own. My dog gets his own separate dinner plate full of our meal scraps like salmon skins and meat, etc. My 2 cats are nice and plump and have an endless amount of toys. I take my dog to my neighborhood dog park every day to ensure he gets the enrichment he needs.

“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs received! She was incredibly reliable, followed all instructions perfectly, and made sure both dogs got plenty of exercise and love. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

About: I have a deep love for animals and extensive experience caring for pets, particularly cats, including my own beloved indoor cat. I understand the unique needs of pets, from maintaining routines to ensuring their comfort and well-being. What sets me apart is my genuine attention to detail and personalized approach. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks, providing care tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, I excel at creating a calm and safe environment, whether it’s managing high-energy moments or helping pets adjust to new surroundings. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a therapist who works from home, I have plenty of time and attention to dedicate to pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, whether it’s for feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. If your pet needs care in their own home, I can easily carve out time to visit and ensure they’re comfortable and well taken care of. Your furry friends will receive the attention and affection they deserve, with the added bonus of a calm and caring presence in their routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I create a secure, pet-friendly environment where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to be themselves. I ensure that all areas are safe, clean, and free of hazards, and I closely monitor pets to ensure their well-being at all times. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a point to respect your space and follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain consistency in your pet’s routine. I’m attentive to their needs, ensuring they feel secure while you’re away. You can trust me to provide updates and communicate regularly so you’re always in the loop. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”

About: Having two dogs of my own, and being trusted to walk, sit, and play with dogs from family and friends, I want to bring my love for animals to anyone who needs someone to look after them! I have worked with senior dogs that have medical needs and puppies that are still teething so all dogs will get what they need! I have an open schedule as I am a college student on summer break and can easily accommodate most schedules! I am available both on a routine and drop-in basis! I am very good at following detailed instructions and making sure that you get the exact care that you want. I am also comfortable handling dogs of all sizes so pulling/jumping is no issue!

“Appreciated her walking our sweet dog, always on time and took wonderful care of our pup”

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life whether it be the 2 dogs that have been part of my family or taking care of neighbors dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible and I would be available at most hours of the day. I have experience taking care of older dogs who just need someone to hang out with and I’ve taken care of younger hyper dogs that warrant extra attention. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off leash and crating them if need be.

About: Hi, I’m Becca! As a dedicated stay at home mom to my 2 year old daughter, Maylee, and a passionate animal lover, I have spent the past five years working as a veterinary receptionist and eight years providing professional pet sitting services. I have experience with a variety of animals and am comfortable caring for small dogs, cats, and small pets. I offer walking and drop-in services on Monday mornings/early afternoons as well as Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and some Sundays after 4 PM. While I am unavailable for overnight stays, I ensure that every visit is filled with attentive care and love for your pets. Since Maylee accompanies me on visits, it’s also important that the pets I care for are comfortable around children. I take safety and comfort seriously for both my daughter and the pets I work with, so I focus on animals that are friendly and well-adjusted to little ones. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I offer walking and drop-in services on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays after 3 PM. While I am unavailable for overnight stays, I ensure that every visit is filled with attentive care and love for your pets. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals of all temperaments, from shy and nervous pets to energetic and playful ones. Whether your pet needs a gentle approach, extra patience, or someone who understands their unique quirks, I am confident in my ability to provide personalized care. I have experience administering medications, handling senior pets, and working with animals who may need a little extra reassurance.

About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.

About: I have always loved dogs, have two currently, and been around them my whole life. I’m patient and kind and love to make them happy. I currently work very part time as a nurse and will be able to schedule my work time around your pets. If staying in your home, I won’t work at the hospital during that time. I love to do whatever makes the client and pets happy. I can accommodate whatever you decide will make everyone happiest and healthiest. You let me know and I will do whatever it takes.

“Emily is fantastic and I would trust any dog of mine to her care. Plus they have fun!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience taking care of animals as small as fish to as big as horses. I’ve also taken care of old dogs with special health needs and puppies. Just moved to the area so looking to pick up some new clients as I look for a more full time job. My availability may fluctuate as this happens but I’m happy to work with you as best as I can through any changes! With all pet care I always follow instructions to a T and am quick to notice if something is off with a pet. With overnight sitting I also tend to make sure the house stays neat and pets get lots of attention.
