Dog Walking Downtown

About: My animal care experience and goals are grounded in the black feminist belief that the wellbeing of all beings and the Earth are intrinsically linked. I practice this value of care by taking time with animals and plants of all variety since I was a child. As a kid growing up in Louisiana, I gave care to a turtle, bird, dog, fish, and crawfish! As an adult, I’ve supported my friends in caregiving for their cats and well as co-loving the cat who takes care of our property- Granny Smith Kiwi. I have completely open availability other than a summer trip from July 27 to August 3. I am mobile and can care for your babies on site or bring them other for boarding in my plant-filled home. I create a safe and trusted environment for your fur and reptilian babies by developing a deep understanding an asking thorough questions about their routine. I hope to be a continuation of the love and care that you offer them.

“Maia was great! Communication is top-notch. She’s very responsive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the visits. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Bailee was kind enough to stop by and meet Cooper before her first official walk! She took the time to navigate the building and to learn about Cooper’s quirks and needs. We are so excited to book with her and I’m relieved to know he’ll be in good hands!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. I help care for my family’s dogs whenever I’m home and regularly dog sit and check in on friends’ pets while they’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I WFH and am flexible, dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and get plenty of love (plus lots of photo updates I have a flexible schedule and love incorporating walks and time with dogs into my routine. I’m available for weekday walks, drop-ins, and weekend pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and making sure every pup gets plenty of attention and belly-rubs. I prioritize safety, communication, and making pets feel comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, and preferences. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll provide a safe, loving experience with regular updates and photos

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) Whether we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply spending time together, I make sure every pet receives individualized care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care their pet may need. I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your veterinarian's instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, compassionate care.

“Brittaney was professional and had a calm and friendly demeanor towards Tidus and my dog felt comfortable with her as soon as he met her. She was accomodating of my requests and she also always came on time. It was a pleasure using her service and I will definitely book her again. Thanks a lot for taking care of Tidus, Brittaney!”

“Chole is the BEST! She is always on time, she always sends over a bunch of pictures and will let me know of anything that happens during her walk good and bad! She is a vet tech so she is very knowledgeable on many things! Taught me how to spot a heat stroke and what do do if it gets to that. She is also suuuuper sweet with Hank! I would 100% recommend her and that is why I have her booked each week!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, but my cat Mabel has been my priority for the past four years. I love all cats and dogs, no matter the size or breed, and I can ensure that your furry friend will be in a well cared after environment. I am currently working only a few short hours during the week so I have plenty of time to hang out with your best friend. I would be available both morning and nights to make sure that they’re able to go outside and play. I treat all animals with kindness and respect. My cat Mabel lives in a very clean well taking care of household. I also live about two minutes away from a park where I can take dogs to run around and play.

About: I have had either a dog or a cat for the past 30+ years. I absolutely adore them and love to take care of them; especially if I can take them outside to play or walk. I have some experience with basic obedience and basic agility training for dogs. I probably can even teach your cat to sit! Please note this important information about booking with me for the first time: I am available to do meet and greets before the booking is confirmed and are happy to answer questions about my services before we set it. -I typically schedule meet and greets within one week in advance of the service. -I do charge for each animal in our care. Check out the Services tab for pricing info! -Rover does not share your address with me before the service is booked and payment confirmation is received. However, you may choose to share your address with me via the chat in the Rover app. I am a retired corporate gal and a certified animal lover! I am currently working part time (mostly evenings) and only during baseball season and have spare time on my hands. I am skilled with all types of dogs and cats. For dogs I had a reactive sweet girl so managing their insecurities is paramount to me. I can pretty much handle any situation if given details about your pet ahead of time!
