Dog Walking Deanwood

“Natalie was so quick to respond and communicated every detail of her arrival and care of our Zella. This was Natalie’s first time meeting Zella, and their first walk together went great even though Z can be a bit shy and hesitant to new people in her older age! We will definitely book Natalie’s services again!”

About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!

“This is our first time working with Michael, and he was absolutely excellent, incredibly responsive, and prompt for every walk. My pet Romeo is a senior Yorkie, and his needs are simple, but he is very old now. Michael was incredibly gentle and took his time on walks with Romeo. Sent real time updates and photos. I’m always grateful for highly communicative walkers and people who care about my pet.”

We also offer one-on-one training at your home. **Send us a message for pricing information.** Dog Boarding Your dog will hang out with our dogs and our kids while you're away. He/she will enjoy potty breaks as frequent as every 2-6 hours and a lot of playtime with the other dogs. If your pooch would prefer to hang out with people, we can make those accommodations also.

“Jadyn did a great job with Lincoln! He was very hype but she was able to calm him for the walk. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I've been a pet owner for over ten years for both dogs and cats. I used to work at a Montessori school for dogs, as a behavioral specialist at an animal shelter, and as a Attendant at a doggy daycare, so I have taken courses from both the Victoria Stilwell Academy and the Karen Pryor Academy and have some experience with animal training. I am familiar with many temperaments and how to properly approach a new friend. While I am still working towards certification, I’d be happy to positively reinforce good habits as well as teach your animal a fun trick or two (this extends to cats as well)! I work full-time and my schedule is decided on a weekly basis, so my availability isn’t something set in stone. I am transitioning to a new job though, so I will soon be generally available on weekends and evenings. At your home, I'm comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I can keep up with dogs who want to play all day, or I can chill and provide cuddles to the softer, gentler pups. Some pets are content watching from a distance, and I can do that as well. At my dog school job, we had a detailed system of categorizing different "play styles", and at my shelter job, I often taught interested adopters how to properly introduce themselves to a possible new family member. I hope to incorporate that into my work with your beloved pet so we can better understand one another.

“Russel came over with barely any notice to help me out with a last minute dog walk! Flopsy had a great time and loved his new friend. This was his first professional dog walk!”

About: I may have never officially been a dog walker but through my own personal experience it can get done! I’ve had my own dog, Pretty for 3 years now and rain, shine, snow, and everything in between we are outside. I let her sniff to her hearts content. Our standard is 2 walks daily but we started at 4 walks when I first got her at 6 months old. She’s well taken care of and so will yours be in my care. Be it 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour, if you choose me as your walker it’ll be a great time! I work FT hybrid. I’m home Mondays & Fridays. Weekends and evenings are what work best. I’m free all day on weekends and can do midday up to an hour between 1-3PM on Mondays & Fridays. I have one dog Pretty who is quite friendly. She is a bit reactive to smaller dogs. Does do better with medium to larger dogs. Pretty and I, live in a one bedroom but an area/neighborhood that is walkable which is done daily so there’s no shortage of space to get steps in!

About: I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for pets for friends and family by feeding them, playing with them, taking dogs on walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and loving care while you’re away.
