Dog Walking Dougherty

“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!”

“Stephanie is an absolute rock star. My fiancé is home alone with our fur babies while I am out of town..I am sure you can imagine the state of the house and how well he planned for walks ;) Stephanie stepped in this afternoon with little to no notice and helped walk Milo and give our sweet Julie water! She is super responsive and very reliable! Thank you Stephanie!!!”

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 grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds. Our family loves animals. We took care of our senior dog of 16 years and have experience with the special needs of a senior pet. We now have a sweet Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat. We are comfortable with dogs of all ages and will provide special care for your pet as needed. We are working from home on a regular basis so there will always be someone with your pet to look after and care for them. We love going on walks with our fur baby and taking him to the park to play with his doggie friends I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of place to play. Our Shih Tzu loves having other dogs over and will give your dog company. Our cat has grown up with our dog and likes and gets along well with other dogs

“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’ve been on Rover for about a year and have boarded, checked in, and walked dogs of just about every size, age, and temperment! 🐾🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺 I am currently working part-time as a dog walker through a separate company, but am still available for walks, check-ins, and weekend boarding :) I do not have any pets, but I grew up with Randie, a Jack Russell, and then Jackpot (another Jack Russell) who passed away at the age of 16 last summer :(💗 My parents recently got a cavapoo puppy who I’ve gotten to spend so much time with— he’s the sweetest, most social boy! I also have experience with cats. :) My sister had an orange manx cat who I got to take care of quite a bit— super adventurous & independent Junie B! I want to make one thing clear, I am on this app to take care of animals.❤️ When I’m watching your fur baby, what matters most is their comfort & safety. I will prioritize their wellbeing over my own. 💗🐾 Shoot me a message if you’re looking for a walker/sitter :) I’d be happy to meet up & learn everything there is to know about your baby! I work for a separate company as a dog walker Tuesday-Thursday, 10am-3pm. Other than that, I am a musician, and have a very flexible schedule. My dog walking schedule can vary, so feel free to reach out to see if I’m available! I live in a condo with my boyfriend who works full-time. We have a medium sized patio (ground level), lots of room to walk within our condo community, as well as a dog park right across the street. (I’ll only take your pup to the park if that is something you encourage!)

“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.”

“5 stars for Amy! She provided Domino with amazing care and got him exercised each day during the long holiday weekend. She provides great notes and pictures to go along with their time spent together. She was excellent!!”

About: Hi! I’m Danny, and I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, playtime, companionship, and basic grooming care like brushing and keeping pets clean. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with pets include walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, tug-of-war, indoor games, light training reinforcement, cuddle time, and helping pets stay active and engaged throughout the day. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and family members over the years, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and shy pets that need extra comfort and reassurance. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and making sure pets get plenty of affection and supervision. I currently work as a PT aide Monday through Friday, and my workplace is only about 5 minutes away from my home. Because of that, I’m available most evenings and weekends, and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and bathroom breaks throughout the day when needed. I’m dependable, patient, and responsive, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and comforting environment for every pet I care for, and I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! My schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care and spend quality time with your pets. I’m available on most weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, or house sitting. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I keep pets safe, supervised, and comfortable at all times. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being well cared for and getting lots of love and attention.

About: I’ve grown up with furry friends my whole life. Whether it was taking care of my family’s Labrador Retrievers, my friend’s French Bulldog, or my own fur baby named Rory. I’ve always had a heart for animals, being able to earn their trust and love is so rewarding! I have experience volunteering at animal shelters, overnight pet sitting, medication management, and dog walking. I am also very active, so long walks or jogs with your fur baby is always welcomed by me! Our pets make our lives better and in turn we should do the same for them! I currently have an extremely flexible schedule and am willing to work with you and your pup to find the right routine! I am available throughout the week. I take caring for pets very seriously. I will always respect your space and ensure that your fur baby is in a safe, comfortable, and cared for environment!

“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: 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.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood. Growing up we always had dogs and cats. As an adult I currently have a beautiful senior cat, a senior yorkie, 2 pugs, and a chihuahua. I have a huge heart and am big into animal rescue. I'm very good at dispensing medication to both cats and dogs. I have even become skilled at giving subcutaneous fluids to cats. When I watch your fur baby you can be sure that I will go above and beyond to make them feel loved while you are away. I send regular check ins and photos so you can have peace of mind when you leave your dog in my care. Right now pet care is my full time job. I have animals of my own so during the day I will of course be checking in on them as well. I sit small dogs, puppies or kittens only in my home. Any other small animals are negotiable. Please keep in mind I have animals of my own so if your pet is not good around other animals they can’t come here for boarding or day care.

“David and his wife helped me out big time when I was desperate short notice! They were extremely communicative and kept me updated the whole time. Highly recommend!!”

“Hector was very punctual and caring with our American Bully Nala. He has gone above and beyond to accommodate her needs. Thank you for professionalism and attention to details. We highly recommend his services and will use his services again. Héctor fue muy puntual y cariñoso con nuestra American Bully Nala. Él ha hecho todo lo posible para satisfacer sus necesidades.

“Lacey is literally the best! She is super responsible and very communicative!”

Trinity G.

“Anna’s been a great help with Zoe and we would definitely recommend her to other dog parents.”

Brensie D.

“Aubrey is incredibly patient and takes the time to make sure Maru feels comfortable. He’s still a little hesitant about having his leash put on, but she’s never rushes him and lets him move at his own pace. He always comes home tired, content, and genuinely happy to see her again. I really appreciate the care and understanding she shows him.”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ dogs and have taken care of them for anywhere between a few days to 2 weeks! I’ve had experience feeding, walking, playing with, and bathing my friend’s dogs. I’m a recent college graduate, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet before I begin working! When taking care of your pet, I will make sure to prioritize their needs and have strong communication with you regarding their needs! In my house, I have a backyard that would allow your dog to run around and I would play fetch/ball with them! I also like to take dogs to the dog park if the client would like. If I’m dogsitting at the client’s house, I would learn how they would like me to use a fence, cage, bed, etc.
