Dog Walking Fernwood

“Matthew always takes such good care of my Giant Schnauzer, Winnie! He is thoughtful, takes her exercise to the next level, finding places timber are safe to let her off leash to run, and keeps her engaged with toys as well! He is the best!”

About: Hi! I’m Kristen. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Labradoodle mom to my girl, Ecko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I work from home as a recruiter, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. Services I Offer: * 🐶 Dog Walking * 🏡 House Sitting (Overnights in Your Home) * Drop-In Visits * 🐱 Cat Care * Medication Administration * Feeding & Fresh Water * Exercise & Playtime * Potty Breaks & Litter Box Cleaning * Light Grooming (Brushing, Paw Wipes, etc.) * Photo & Video Updates * Care for Other Pets (Just Ask!) I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with cats, puppies, senior pets, and pets that need medication or a little extra patience. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether you’re heading out for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is for you to have complete peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, and I’ll make sure your pets get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home as a recruiter, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to caring for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with a pet, I can easily accommodate visits during the day, evenings, and many weekends. As a proud Labradoodle mom of 8 years, caring for animals has been part of my everyday life for a long time. Spending time with pets is genuinely something I enjoy, and I love being able to use my flexible schedule to help local pet owners while giving their pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I also know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. During visits, I provide plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how your furry family member is doing and have peace of mind knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I always respect my clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so pet parents can have peace of mind. Safety is my top priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and preferences. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate what makes them happiest. 🐾

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.

“Very kind and professional, great with Max!”

“Ashley was wonderful during her visit with our pups! Even though it was just one visit, she was punctual, professional, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of. She communicated clearly, often, and followed all instructions perfectly. Because of this, I was confident our pups were in excellent hands! We truly appreciated her help on such short notice and would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Min was great, did exactly as I asked!”

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?

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.

About: My 5yr goldendoodle Hank keeps me on my toes daily, so I know the real work of caring for a dog well.

I am free every day of the week, even on weekends.

“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 am an absolute dog lover! I have grown up with dogs and love being around them. We go on walks often so we can get our daily dose of exercise. I will care for your dog as my own. No pups on the furniture but I have two plush dog beds for them to rest their furry heads. I look forward to spending lots of time with your pup and overdosing them with belly rubs. I love capturing moments, so expect to get lots of pictures from me. I’m currently back at work and my hours are usually 9-5. A few days a week I am able to work part time so I’ll be home more. I have a fenced yard so they can spend time outside. We split custody for our very friendly lab so occasionally your pup will have a friend to play with.

About: Hi! I’m Bella, I have a Bachelors of Animal Science with a concentration in pre-vet from Tarleton State. I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8. I have had five dogs of my own ranging from a great Pyrenees to a Frenchie. I currently own two dogs, the first being my personal protection dog Ace and my duck dog Jade. I have been a reliable source for any pet parent in need. I have taken care of pets walking, bathing, and feeding and am knowledgeable in what to do in any pet emergency. I am a recent college graduate with a pretty open schedule. I have 2 dogs of my own that I care for and if you schedule me I can always make room for your fur baby too! I crate my own dogs at home so if that is something you need I can easily do that. I am super attentive so if you have a needy dog or an escape artist I’m a great sitter. I’m also a vet tech so I know exactly what to do if there is a medical emergency.

About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple pets at once and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. As a proud dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have completed two dog training courses (with my dogs), giving me a strong understanding of positive reinforcement, reading canine body language, and helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit while you’re away, or a full day of companionship, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dog. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I am currently working remotely and I have a flexible schedule for dog walking and pet sitting throughout the week. I can easily accommodate weekdays and weekends. I am happy to care for your pet/s either at my house or yours. If you prefer my home, I do have a fenced yard and my dog is animal-friendly.

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: Skilled with care taking of puppies and senior dogs. Worked as a skilled kennel tech, vet tech, and dog bather for more than 5 years. I can also offer nail trims and dog baths in home or at my home depending on pet temperament and size 🐾🧼 Usually I am flexible with pet care on the weekdays and Saturdays. I'm currently working seasonally until mid Jan, and would prefer not to work a 9-5 corporate job 😅 Let me know what your schedule is like and I can defiantly promise a work around! :) I have a personal sunroom with plenty of walking around space and a fenced off dog park. If needed, I also own an X-LG kennel for holding JUST in case if your dog is kennel trained, or your prefer for them to have their own space. I tend to let my pet free roam in the home and if your pet is house trained I don't mind letting both my dog and yours hang out together.
