Dog Walking Dougherty

About: I’ve been caring for my own Border Collie for the past five years, taking him on two walks every day and making sure he gets the exercise, attention, and care he needs. I also regularly help care for friends’ pets whenever they need a sitter or someone to check in on them. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on long walks, and spending time with furry companions. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I can provide pets with the time, attention, and exercise they deserve while making sure they stick to their regular routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals according to your instructions, and lots of love. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure each pet gets the companionship they need. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Mitchell was a superb dog walker for me and my dog, Kygo. He is incredibly professional and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He was always on time, provide updates after each walk (which I really appreciated) and I noticed a difference in Kygos energy levels and overall happiness. He brought treats for Kygo, took pictures, provided updates, overall A+ experience. Thanks Mitchell!”

“Bailey was very punctual and friendly. She was patient with our dog, Gracie, who didn't always want to go for her daily walk. She patiently coaxed Gracie to try to get her to cooperate. When Gracie refused to go, Bailey played with Gracie in the backyard or brushed her and continued to interact with her. Gracie was always happy to see Bailey.”

“Zcarina is very friendly & great with communication. Our dog was well taken care of on her daily walks. I would recommend her for any of your petsitting/walking needs.”

About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!

“Chalise was awesome! Gave detailed reports and pics of her walk with our crazy pup. She is reliable and efficient. We will definitely be using her services again!”

“Dakota and Jaclyn were outstanding! They were available on very short notice, which was a huge help while we were away. They took the time to understand Beaux’s routine, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure they understood every aspect of his care before getting started. They were responsive to updates and adjustments, communicated well throughout the visit, and gave us confidence that Beaux was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely cared about doing the job right, not just completing the visit. We truly appreciated their professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. We would absolutely book with Dakota and Jaclyn again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.”

About: I have always loved animals and have many years of personal experience caring for pets. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I understand how important it is to be patient, reliable, and attentive to a pet’s needs. I also have experience with cats, as my wife had two cats, and I was able to help care for them as well. In addition, I have had regular contact with other dogs and animals over the years, which helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I would be happy to help with drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, short walks, playtime, and photo updates. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home. I currently have a flexible schedule and can often help with drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, short walks, and basic pet care during the day. I am especially available for planned visits and can usually adjust my schedule with some notice. Because I am currently focusing on settling into the area and organizing my next professional steps, pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to help pet owners who need reliable care while they are at work, traveling, or busy during the day. I always want pets and their owners to feel safe and comfortable. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, fresh water, medication instructions if needed, walking preferences, and any special rules. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take my time and try to make the visit calm and stress-free. I will make sure doors are locked, food and water are taken care of, and the pet is safe before I leave. I am also happy to send photo updates, so owners know their pet is doing well. Since I do not offer boaI would like to know the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, behavior with new people, medical needs, allergies, anxiety, and any special rules. I would also like to know where food, water, leash, litter box, and cleaning supplies are located.rding in my own home, I focus on caring for pets in their familiar environment, where they usually feel most comfortable.

About: I’m very active and I’m an entrepreneur in different fields. I have two dogs and a cat that I have self trained from a rescue and would love to contribute my experience and skills to make your pet just as happy as mine are. Always finding new ways to keep a pet active and interested in any given activity and making sure they get the exercise they need to be well rested. I always give the extra effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle for a pet and in doing so I believe the pet contributes the same to me. I always carry treats for training and reward as well as water to make sure a pet never goes thirsty during their active moments. Hoping my experience and skills will make a difference in your pets life! I own a reselling business so pet care fits in my schedule perfectly always have spare time to keep your pets occupied and happy so they will be left happy. I have a pet friendly house hold that’s gated and secure where your pets will be extremely safe so you will never have to worry.

“Jenarae took care of our dog Ruby for 8 days and did an amazing job! Ruby was well taken care of and given lots of love (our cat Meg and our many fish were also given lots of attention and care). I received information each day about how Ruby was and what she was up to as well as lots of great pictures of her in action. I would highly recommend Jenarae for all your pet sitting needs.”

About: Pet parent and animal lover. When you are gone I would love to bring some calmness for your pet as they miss you in the house. I ll not only provide the food and the clean up of litter but also the chin rubs and play time. Plus you ll get lots of photos ! I will follow the owner’s guidelines and ensure safety at all times.

About: As the proud owner of a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animal care. He’s my first dog, but my passion for watching over and nurturing animals has been lifelong. I believe exercise is key to a happy, healthy pet. I regularly take my dog on long walks and would ensure the same for your furry friend. Whether it’s playing, petting, or just spending quality time, I genuinely enjoy creating moments that bring joy to animals. Cleanliness and grooming are also priorities for me. I love brushing my dog and ensuring his coat stays healthy while keeping our home fur-free. You can trust that your pet’s hygiene will always be well cared for in my hands. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I would treat them as if they were my own. I have a Belgian Malinois which is one of the most active and energetic dog breads. I care for him daily from multiple walks, to feeding, brushing, and playing with him. I prioritize his well-being all while working a full time job. I work from 7 to 5 so we are up and at it by 4 AM. Then I come home to take care of my Maui. For clients, my availability will be from Monday to Sunday. I do not work from home but I work very close to my office so I could drop by in the afternoon to take your fur baby out to pee and stretch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine while respecting your home. Here’s how I approach pet care: 1. Follow Your Instructions I adhere to the feeding schedules, dietary requirements, exercise routines, and any specific instructions you provide. Maintaining consistency is key to keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. 2. Keep Their Routine Pets thrive on routine, so I ensure walks, playtime, and naps happen as expected. I also take the time to engage with them in ways they enjoy, such as games or cuddling. 3. Maintain Hygiene I clean up after the pet, ensuring their spaces (e.g., feeding area, litter box, bedding) are always neat. If they need grooming, like brushing or wiping paws, I handle it with care. 4. Provide Plenty of Exercise and Attention Whether it’s walks, playtime in the yard, or indoor activities, I make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. 5. Ensure Safety I keep a close eye on them to prevent accidents, secure any areas they should avoid, and monitor for signs of illness or distress. 6. Respect Your Home I leave your home as I found it, keeping spaces clean and secure. I treat it with the utmost respect, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease while away. Ultimately, my goal is to provide the love, care, and attention your pet deserves while maintaining the trust and comfort of their home environment.

About: I have two babies boys myself: a corgi and a mini goldendoodle, and have been sitting dogs for friends and others. I know how to take care of dogs, not just feeding and walking them, but also genuinely caring for them, taking them out for fun, playing with them and mental development. On my wfh days I take dogs out for a walk around lunchtime, and park playtime before dinner, and play with them throughout the day during my breaks from work! I have a spacious house with fenced backyard, two dogs to keep your baby company. I have experience taking care of up to 4 dogs at the same time, managing conflicts, supervising play and treats. Dogs are allowed anywhere in our house - couch, bed, office, backyard, chairs, bench, wherever they’re comfortable!

“Laura has been walking my golden, Brodie regularly for a few weeks now and I'm really happy with how reliable and caring she is. She sends me updates and photographs on where they walked and lets me know if there are any issues. I really hope she'll continue walking Brodie and I highly recommend her dog walking services.”

About: I grew up with dogs and more recently had a whippet for 16 years, until he sadly passed a few years ago. I have now a young cat that is very friendly. I am home most of the day and can provide walks for the pet every evening. There is a nearby dog park that could provide for socializing dogs is requested. We have a fenced yard as well as a nearby dog park. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe. Our house is comfortable and we can care for your pet!

“Alison was very patient and sweet with our timid dog Leo. She gave him lots of treats and got him walking! We will definitely work with her in the near future.”

About: My connection to animals began early, growing up in the South of Georgia with dogs and ducks as my first pets. That foundation developed into a lifelong respect for animals and their care, including several years representing PETA, which further shaped my thoughtful, ethical approach. With over 20 years as a career nanny, I bring a level of attentiveness, structure, and emotional intelligence that goes well beyond standard pet sitting. I am deeply attuned to routines, subtle behavioral cues, and the importance of calm, consistent care. I approach every animal with the same standards I upheld in private households: reliability, clear communication, discretion, and respect for the family’s home. I also excel in long-term, high-trust arrangements — particularly for families who travel frequently or maintain demanding schedules. In short, I offer composed, experienced, and intentional care, so you can leave knowing your pet is not simply watched, but genuinely cared for. Knowledgeable and up-to-date on 2026 CPR and Rescue for Dogs (Both 30lbs, over and under) and People (Can carry heavy weights, up and down several flights of stairs as training). Veterinarian will be called in case of any Emergency, or if pet is in critical state. Have a Dog First Aid Kit that I bring with me to be readily prepared, and have worked at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital and Archbold Hospital. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly schedule. I intentionally maintain a balanced workload, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed care and remain fully present during each visit or stay. My background as a career nanny means I am accustomed to structured days, consistent routines, and prioritizing the needs of those in my care without overbooking. Because I plan my week thoughtfully, I am able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and travel coverage while maintaining flexibility for families who require dependable, ongoing support. Clients appreciate that I treat pet care as a professional commitment — not a side task — ensuring punctuality, consistency, and clear communication. In short, pet care is a deliberate and integrated part of my week, allowing me to offer calm, reliable service that aligns well with families seeking long-term, high-trust care. Pet care in my clients’ home is calm, intentional, and meticulously observed. My attention to detail means I notice the small things — subtle changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or routine — and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Your pet’s environment is respected and kept orderly, and routines are followed precisely to maintain a sense of continuity and ease. With a trained eye for photography, I also document care in a refined, unobtrusive way. Updates are thoughtfully composed — well-lit, natural, and unforced — so clients receive images that genuinely reflect their pet’s comfort and well-being, not staged moments. These visuals provide reassurance without disrupting the flow of care. I am mindful that I am a guest in a private home. Discretion, cleanliness, and respect for personal space are paramount. Every visit is approached with the same standard I upheld in private households as a career nanny: quiet professionalism, attentiveness, and pride in the details that elevate the entire experience. In essence, in-home care with me is composed, observant, and beautifully maintained — allowing clients to feel confident that both their pet and their home are in capable, considerate hands.
