Dog Walking Dwight

About: As a kid, my parents only agreed to let me get a dog if I committed to taking care of it. So, I raised, trained, and cared for our precious golden retriever for 8 years until going off to college. Since then, I've jumped at every chance to dogsit for my friends' dogs - I've taken care of more than 15 different dogs (breeds, sizes, needs, dog-alities) to date. I can't wait to meet your dog(s) and promise to love and care for them as if they were my own :) I'm a graduate student at Stanford and am pretty busy during the weekdays, but I love to spend my free weekends with dogs! My schedule will be much more flexible this summer if you need a more consistent sitter or walker then :) In the home, I'm happy to adapt to you and your dog's needs and preferences - i.e. whether you want them on the couch/bed or not ;) In case of emergency, I have a car and can drive to pick up meds, bring your dog to the vet, etc. I am sadly allergic to cats!

“Gabriela was amazing with my dog and my dog really enjoyed her company!! We are grateful she was able and willing to help us last minute. Will definitely book again in the future.”

“Patty is amazing! She was so thoughtful with Odie (my puppy) and communicated with me before and after each walk. She even sent me photos from their walks! I will definitely be using Patty again- she is a gem!”

“Carole has been an incredible addition to our support team with Orfeu. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and has already helped us provide our highly anxious pup with more structure and security. We are beyond impressed with her professionalism and care. We would recommend her very highly to anyone!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

“Andrea took Harry for good long walks and really engaged with him. She shared photos and videos and was really great to communicate with. Highly recommend her!”

“Vanessa is so lovely! She walks my pug, Mabel, regularly and Mabel adores her. She is incredibly reliable and sends great pictures and updates. I appreciate her extra effort so much and would recommend her to anyone!”

Caroline R.

“Jen is very reliable and I know my girls are in good hands with her. She takes little videos of the pups and it makes my day! Definitely recommend Jen ☺️”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and chickens, and have been dog and cat -sitting since I was 16 for neighbors and family friends, and for Wag! I’m living at home for the summer until I start nursing school in August, and I’d love to spend my time helping you out and taking care of your pet’s needs! I follow any instructions given very carefully because I know that each pet is unique in what they need. I create a fun, safe, and calm environment for your pet!

About: My name is Patrick, and I’m a current college student, double-majoring in Environmental Studies and Sociology. As I study society and the environment, I have a deep appreciation for the meanings we give to our pets because of the joy they bring us. My love for animals has been with me my entire life, as I can’t remember a time when my fondness for furry companions wasn’t there! I’ve owned my dog Cody for 10 years, and I still remember how, for the longest time, getting a dog was the gift I wanted most growing up. When my parents finally agreed, it marked the beginning of a series of memories and shared experiences with Cody. My love for pets has led me to spend a lot of time researching the care required for all sorts of animals, and I’m happy to provide attentive and compassionate care for your companion! (: As a college student on summer break, I have ample time to give to petsitting and will ensure I give adequate care to all pets! I care for pets like they’re my own! Even before having pets myself, I was always focused on learning how to properly care for animals. I still remember convincing my parents to let me get a hamster as a child by researching everything it needed beforehand. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow any specific routines, instructions, or care needs to make sure your companion feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Ileana has been simply excellent with our anxious rescue. Our dog is not quick to make friends, but Ileana knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable from the beginning, and managed her reactivity expertly on walks. She was also prompt, communicative, and flexible with us. Could not recommend her enough!”

About: I have helped raise 3 litters of puppies, and I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and abilities from my time as a pet parent and volunteer at my local animal shelter. I am currently in graduate school and work part time, leaving the majority of my days and weekends available to care for your furry friend! I am a lifelong animal lover, and given my active lifestyle, I am able to keep up with even the highest energy animals! I am also very detail-oriented, meaning that I can anticipate your animal’s needs and give them a similar experience to their day-to-day routine with you.

“Our dog can be very shy and nervous around new people, but with Melissa, she felt comfortable from the very beginning. It was incredible. It feels so good to have someone you can trust. Thank you, Meli.”

Jon and S.

“Sarah did such an amazing job! I have two dogs with very different personalities and she handled them both great! She also took them on a long walk they were still sleepy by the time we got home. Thanks again!”

“Bailee was wonderful! She is so professional and very sweet! Jack & Mings immediately loved her! Thank you Bailee ! I would Highly recommend!”

About: I started dog walking in college, which naturally expanded to sitting. Other than the feeling of getting my degree, taking care of those sweet pets made my experience so pleasant. Community members have trusted me to not only make sure their pets are properly looked after, but that they make a new friend too. Befriending new animals is why I love this job! I have recently completed an MFA in Stage Management at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and, now have plenty of time to take pups on walks or do sittings. I'm generally free most afternoons and evenings, with occasional morning availability. I am very attentive to a pet's needs, and will make sure to give them the love they want (and know when to back off if they'd rather be alone). Unfortunately I am not currently offering boarding for furry friends. Before visits/sitting I'd prefer to meet beforehand, to get used to the space and aquainted with the pet's routine.

“Kat has been so amazing! My dog looks forward to seeing her “bff” for their walks and playtime. Kat is very responsive, thorough, kind and dedicated.”
