Dog Walkers in Dougherty, IA

About: I’ve cared for all types of animals my entire life and had been working in a clinic for just under one year. I love each animal as my own and can’t wait to build a relationship with your pet to help keep the safe, happy, and healthy!! I work part time in fast food currently, I have a ton of free time to play and take care of your animals. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to make more time for your pet if I am let known in advance. I very much believe in listening to your pets signs and cues, letting them decide if they are okay with the situation. I want to keep myself, your pet, and you as safe as possible!!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was in college and I now have a farm with all kinds of different animals! There is nothing better than an animals love other than knowing your loved ones are being taken care of properly. My animals are my family and I will treat yours as my family too. I currently help with rescues on transportation, fostering, and placement. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work around my work schedule pretty easily to accommodate a variety of times and needs. I will give all your pets all the love! My pets are allowed on all the furniture as it’s their house too. I have an acreage that provides lost of space for walks and play and I also have a gps fence that can be used if wanted.

About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up & I now have a dog of my own, Bear, who is a border collie/ golden retriever mix! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush my dog, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!

About: I grew up on a farm, so I have been around all kinds of animals. I absolutely love them and appreciate all they offer. I have also done some pet sitting for neighbors and co-workers. I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, so I understand what it takes to ensure they feel loved. I will do everything in my power to make sure your animals are well cared for and cherished. I am a full time student but class is over after 2:30 so anytime in the afternoons works best for me. Also anytime during weekends I can be available. Just tell me a time and I will do what’s necessary to fit it in my schedule. I’m willing to do just about anything. I’m comfortable with staying in your home if that’s necessary. I will give them lots of love and attention. Making sure all their needs are met.

About: I have always had many animals growing up, from German shepherds to geckos, there is no animal that I don’t absolutely adore, I have three cats and many reptiles of my own:) I am no longer pregnant! But I do have a little one now, so I will take in small to medium dogs and cats or one large dog, two small dogs are okay! But if your dog is super chaotic and hyper i recommend a different sitter for your pup :)! I promise to make your pet a top priority in my home, nothing toxic or dangerous will be out to harm your pet in any way, my house is completely pet friendly! Plus I do have a little one so childproofing my house has helped with the puppies too 🤣❤️‍🔥

About: I enjoy caring for all animals as I have grown up around them all my life. I have trained many dogs and showed them when I was younger. I am open to all kinds of dogs or cats and will care for them as my own! I am available all days of the week, between 8am to 9pm. I could possibly include middle of the night options depending on your needs. I can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate yours! I have 2 dogs currently. One inside and one outside. We have an in ground dog fence perimeter with collars and spots for tie outs in our yard. Both of our dogs are crate trained and have an extra crate for yours if needed. They are also friendly with other dogs if yours is. If not, keeping them separated is not a problem.

About: My family raised dogs growing up. I later adopted many discarded rescues until they passed away. I know how to bathe, feed, treat, talk and walk any breed. I'm also available to stay over nights with your pets. I'm a real estate paralegal and work from home. It's never a problem to take an extended break or lunch to provide your pet with first class care. I can walk your pets, stay over night with them, water & feed, bathe them, brush their teeth and clean their ears. You just let me know how you want them to be cared for! I've recently watched a pit bull, German Shepard, and Bullmastiff along with two cats on separate occasions.
