Dog Walking In Fernwood

About: I have watched dogs for the last seven years. I have whelped multiple litters from my own dog and helped other people, I find happiness spending time with animals and making sure they are healthy and happy too. I am currently working from home and have lots of time on my hands. I am looking for some cute pets to occupy my time:) We will go for walks and play together. I will be sending you pictures and updates. I have a big fenced in yard, but if your dog prefers to stay inside, then my home is their home too.

About: Paw-parent to the sweetest 4 year old Frenchton. As a former corporate employee in an office, I know the struggles of finding time to give dogs the attention and stimulation they deserve. I’m here to make your life a little easier and provide great care for your best friend. I’ve taken care of family pets since high school but became a first time paw-parent in 2020. My partner Johnny also helps me and he is home during the day since he works from home. I currently have lots of free time and can look over your pets almost any day of the week. Spring break is around the corner and my calendar is filling up fast. Please book soon for March dates. Furry friends will be taken out 4-5 times a day. Can accommodate to more times if needed. Pets will be kept inside the home for boarding at all times. (Potty breaks are done outside in the backyard which is fenced.) If walks are required they will only be done if the weather is safe for pets and me. My current pet Peppers will be at my home if you are boarding but in a completely different part of my home.

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my grandmother fostered animals in the country, so I was constantly around all kinds of pets—even pot-bellied pigs! That experience helped me become very comfortable with animals of all types and temperaments. Today, I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I spend time caring for animals, helping them feel safe, and giving them the attention and love they deserve. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don’t take that lightly. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I’m available from 8 AM to 2 PM and again from 6 PM to 9 PM each day. With my kids in school full time, I have a flexible schedule and love spending that time caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. I care for pets in their own home through drop-in visits and walks, making sure they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll take care of feeding, fresh water, playtime, and any routine needs like litter boxes or potty breaks, along with giving them lots of attention and care while you’re away. At this time, I don’t offer overnight stays or boarding in my home, but I’m dependable and consistent during my scheduled visits.

“Maria showed up on very short notice to walk Pete for the first time. First she allowed some time for him to feel comfortable around her before taking him on a long walk. He came back very happy and wagging in full force. Will use Maria again. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi friends! With 10+ years of hands on experience of dog care/training & cat care with my own and others, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’m not here to just watch your pets, I engage with them, play with them, and make sure they feel loved, safe and happy while you away. I take pride in going the extra mile, whether that’s sending you daily updates and photos, sticking closely to even the most strict unique care routine or just making sure they get plenty of snuggles and exercise. I believe in building real relationships not just with pets but with their people as well and many of my client have say their pets are more excited to see me than them. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring and enthusiastic sitter who will treat your pet like royalty! I’d love to meet with you and your fur babies. Feel free to message about any questions you may have. I have experience with in heat, unspayed females, high energy breeds, senior care, oral medication and sick care . I currently work part-time with Instacart, which allows me a flexible schedule, reliable transportation, and the availability to accommodate frequent check-ins and visits. I am also available 7 days a week. I am currently unable to offer pet sitting in my own home, as I live in an apartment. However, I am happy to provide drop-in visits, and dog walking services. Additionally, I offer mobile dog washing as an optional add-on — I can either bathe your dog in your home (if you prefer) or take them to a trusted local facility for a wash. Please note that if you’d like to add the dog washing service, we can adjust the booking to include it, and payment will go through Rover to ensure everything is handled securely. I always aim to provide flexible, reliable care to meet both you and your pet’s needs!

“Mallory is amazing. She’s great with Rosie and very communicative and helpful.”

“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”

About: I have 1 year of hands-on experience working in an animal shelter in Mexico, caring for dogs and cats. I helped with bathing, feeding, and keeping animals calm and happy. I’m passionate about pets’ wellbeing, patient with every personality, and quick to learn how to meet each animal’s needs. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, so I can fit visits into your cat’s usual routine. I can also take dogs for walks in the mornings while caring for your cat at home. I adapt to each pet’s needs to keep them happy, safe, and loved. I provide safe, loving care either at my home or yours. I follow routines, offer food, cuddles, and playtime, and make sure pets feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Unfortunately, the pictures in my profile are somewhat misleading as my Molly passed away in January 2025. I miss her so much! But, thankfully, Molly taught me a lot about doggie care! As a retired data analyst and lifelong animal lover, I bring a rare blend of reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care to every pet I meet. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, focused attention—no juggling or distractions. I specialize in: - 🐶 Senior pet care — I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with older dogs who need a slower pace, medication routines, or just a cozy companion. - 🐾 Puppy training basics — I help reinforce potty routines with calm consistency and positive reinforcement. - 🧠 Behavior tracking — My background in data means I notice patterns quickly. If your pet’s eating, sleeping, or behavior shifts, I’ll catch it early and keep you informed. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs structured play or a shy senior who just wants a quiet cuddle. My home is calm, clean, and safe, and I’m always happy to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Im newly retired and my only routine is going to the gym in the morning. But, rest assured, your pet won't ever be alone...my husband is here and works from home. I’m a retired professional who’s home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care in a calm, secure setting. My home in Richardson is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly—with one sweet resident cat who’s mellow and used to sharing space. If your dog or cat isn't though, Jaz can always go to my mother-in-laws studio attached to our house if necessary. For dogs who enjoy outdoor time, I have a fully fenced backyard with a pool. I supervise all outdoor play closely and never allow unsupervised access to the pool area. Safety is always my top priority—whether it’s monitoring interactions, keeping routines consistent, or ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I follow your instructions to the letter—respecting your space, keeping things tidy, and maintaining your pet’s familiar environment. I’m experienced with medication routines, senior care, and behavior tracking, and I always provide updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a curious cat, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs—because every pet deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved.

About: Been a mother to wonderful dogs my whole life, recently been all about senior care and then further into puppy care before moving to the city. I love to play and care for with all types of animals. Your animals happiness and health is my priority! I have recently moved to the city, I work Monday-Thursday 10:30-6pm , and have Friday-Sunday all day availability for any care you and your 4-legged soulmate will need:) I respect your wishes as a home owner and pet owner, your wish is my command. At my home back in Ohio, I am cautious about animals being alone for too long. That is why you have picked the right person and app, so your furry friend will have a companion while you are busy and away.

“Alex took the time to gently get to know my dog and her idiosyncrasies. Daisy was happy to go along when she is normally very reserved with strangers.”

About: I grew up on a farm with family dogs and training horses. As a teen my family began raising French Bulldogs as well as Corgis. I have worked with small and large animal vets in different states and specialties. I have been caring for animals, my own and others, my whole life (over 20years). I am a knowledgeable and reliable pet owner and sitter! I love just getting to be around animals in general. I work full-time from home as a Sales and Onboarding Lead for a healthcare solutions company. My day consists of phone calls, emails, and virtual meetings. I travel a few times a month with plenty of advanced notice, but when I am home, my days are flexible. My position and workload allow me to be flexible, mobile, and present in the moment. I am in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment in a great walking neighborhood. Additionally, we have two fenced dog parks perfect for sniff time, play time, or just getting sunshine. I have a small frenchie who LOVES making friends and snuggling (humans and dogs)! Generally speaking, my house rules are: free choice water from a bowl in the kitchen, food morning and night, walks throughout the day and before bed (3-4minimum), my dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps on my bed. I will accommodate to any needs or adjustments for your pet to ensure they feel right at home including walk/food/water/sleep schedules and routines.

“Min is very professional and dependable. You can trust your four-legged companion with her. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 4-5 years. Dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my church family and friends, I really enjoy it. I also have a fur baby of my own. I love him so much, and he is so spoiled, like any animal should be! I’m not really busy other than running maybe a few errands. I will be able to stay and play with your fur baby’s most of the day and all night. I have a spacious backyard where they can run and play. I do have 1 dog, golden retriever- he’s super sweet and friendly. Although, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Wonderful care provider and super flexible. My puppy loves to see her every time. Thank you!”
