Dog Walking Echo Lake Glen

“Really appreciate Michele’s last minute availability to walk Graham when I had to be gone all day for a work event. Graham is not used to long work days since the work-from-home era and was not the best behaved for her - leash chewing and jumping!! Acting out :/ Much appreciated Michele’s managing the situation and taking care of him. Thanks so much.”

“Monica has been walking my dogs for the last four days and has been incredibly reliable. I really appreciate her consistency and the fact that she always sends updates on Charlie. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently have a yellow lab, Ranger, who will be turning three in September—he’s truly my whole world! I’ve raised him since he was a puppy and have put a lot of time and care into his training, so I understand how important consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are. I also have a 4-month-old puppy, River, so I’m very familiar with the energy, attention, and structure that puppies need. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve taken in foster dogs over the years, which has given me experience working with a wide range of personalities—from playful pups to senior dogs who need a gentler approach. Daily walks are one of my favorite activities, and I love making sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or someone patient and experienced, I will treat them like my own—with lots of love, care, and attention to their unique needs. I’d love to meet your pup! I work a 8-5 so I could walk before work at anytime. I could also walk at 6 or 7 during the week after work! I love a morning walk with a pal. With a lab I know all about it a ton of energy and how to handle it. We have worked a ton on leash and he is 60 lbs.

“She was very nice and always on time to walk Chewy!! He looked forward to seeing Viena every day! Thank you Viena!”

About: 8 days. I’ve gone 8 days of my life without a resident dog living at home. I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember from little mutts to big Great Danes. I have a deep rooted love for animals and value them as a priceless addition to the family. I also have 2 years of previous volunteer experience at a local animal shelter (dog care & walking) as well as a permanent recognition at another local shelter for my fundraising efforts and consequent donation. Dogs are simply the best, and so are walks! In the professional world I am building a small business and am looking to support my small business; one walk at a time :) I’m thrilled I get to incorporate dog walking into my daily routine while also supporting the flexibility building the career of my dreams requires. I make a habit of sending lots of cute dog pictures (if that’s what you’re in to) and am open to discussions on the individual requirements of your family and situation. Hope to talk soon! I’m a small business owner so I have complete control over my schedule and availability. Let’s chat, I’m willing to work with you on scheduling. Each family and pet’s needs are different and I understand comfortability levels vary. I have experience in a variety of situations, with my personal dogs having fenced yard access and daily harness (walks 1-3 times a day). Just let me know what works best for your dog and we can develop a plan that works for all three of us.

“Kendall has been very receptive and quick to respond with any communications. The dogs immediately took to her! Very happy with the services.”

About: I was in 4H all my youth. I learned how to teach a dog basic obedience through advanced courses such as rally(obstacle courses). I learned how each dog is different and meet them where they are at. I listen to pet parents and use their training style so the pets feel consistency. I am very gentle with all animals. Each one just wants to know they are safe when their parent is gone. I am a morning person so I am up early with my animals. I love being active in the morning. I know that animals usually like to be active in the mornings too. I will care for your pets as you have instructed. I want every parent to know their pet is safe because I listened to their instructions and I care for their well being.

“Keerie was very thorough. She sent pictures and gave great details on my pup! I could tell he had a great time! Can’t wait to use her again 😄.”

I would love to be of assistance for families looking for someone to take care of their pup! I am a current college student, however I have plenty of free time/days to take care of your pets! I have played college soccer for the past four years, so I know how to be reliable and responsible. Currently my schedule is very open for dog sitting/walking and I’d love to help out!

As for in a client’s home, I can follow any set of directions you left to take care of your fur baby!

About: Hi, I’m Nina! I provide dependable, stress-free care for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn energy, or just some company during the day, I’ve got you covered. I focus on making each visit feel calm, safe, and tailored to your dog’s personality. For high-energy dogs, I keep walks active and engaging. For older or more relaxed dogs, I keep things calm and comfortable. I’m also happy to follow specific routines, reinforce training, and provide medication if needed. You’ll always know how things are going—I send photo updates and a quick summary after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Variable availability throughout the week - would like to find regular clients for recurring walks but also happy to help out here and there for occasional walking needs. I provide on-time, reliable visits, clean water, feeding (if needed), and lots of attention. I tailor walks to your dog’s pace and needs. I will provide photos and update after every visit. I will always respect your home and instructions.

“Easy to communicate with! Abigail came twice to let Dani out. Since it was raining, I asked her to just play with Dani. This was my first Rover experience and I would definitely do it again! Great job, Abigail!”

Enjoying a walk with your dog at the pace that best suits them will be a priority. I also have a small dog who can accompany us on walks if your dog needs/enjoys social interaction. My main goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, well cared for and loved, treating them with the same dependability, warmth & attention as I would my own. Another aim is to keep pet owners informed and follow any specific needs/directions requested, including any medication administration to ensure a great visit. I will also take care of your home with the same respect as your pets - cleaning up after your pets & wiping dogs’ paws after a rainy, snowy, muddy walk!

Retired with availability on both weekdays and weekends for drop -in visits and dog walking for the furry members of your family.

While caring for your pets in your home I will respect your space, follow your instructions & always make sure that doors, crates and gates are closed. On walks I’ll make sure to keep an eye on your dog’s body language, needs and have water & treats available to ensure that it is fun, safe and filled with some good sniffing time too!

About: I've assisted in taking care of my parent's dogs for years, from a grumpy old man dog to a chaotic 6 week old puppy, whether that be playing, making food, going for walks, and cleaning up accidents. I also have experience with provided medicine as needed. I am very flexible with timing as long as I know a week prior, but if it's short notice, I am mainly available in the mornings up until noon. I make sure to play, regularly let them go to the bathroom outdoors, feed them at appropriate times and if they want their space then I respect them.
