Dog Walking Foster

About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet owner, my top priority is ensuring both you and your furry family member feel completely confident and comfortable in my care. I have four years of hands-on experience in house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits; alongside my daily work at a dog and cat boarding facility. I am well versed in handling different animal behaviors and administering oral and subcutaneous medications safely. Having grown up around dogs of various breeds and sizes, I know how to adapt to your pet's unique personality. Whether they thrive on high energy adventures or prefer quiet couch cuddles, I am committed to maintaining their normal routine and treating them like my own. I am currently looking to fill blank slots in the morning during the week. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I will try to fit you into my schedule the best I can! I care for pets in their own home to keep their routine comfortable and stress free while keeping your home tidy and secure. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll always reach out right away if anything seems unusual. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Marissa is fantastic! Our fur baby instantly loved her. I would recommend her for dog walking.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and always treat them like family. I genuinely care for my neighborhood’s dogs and have provided overnight care, daily walks, and more. I always take the time to get to know owners first to build trust and understand their dog’s specific needs. With experience in basic training, giving medication, and reading animal behavior, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I’m reliable, patient, and excited to continue gaining experience, always happy to share updates so you feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My schedule is super flexible, making it easy to fit long walks and drop-in visits right into my daily routine! I love ensuring your pets get plenty of exercise and attention during the week, with extra availability on weekends. As a fun bonus, I absolutely love taking pictures of my pet clients—I'm told I take great photos, so you can expect plenty of adorable updates! Because my routine is so adaptable, I have great availability to give your furry friends the best care whenever you need a hand! I care for pets at their home by creating a safe and comfortable environment. For dogs, I ensure they get regular walks, playtime, and attention. I make sure they’re fed according to their schedule and provide any necessary companionship while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean space, like washing bowls and keeping litter boxes tidy for cats. My goal is to keep pets feeling secure and loved in their own home, ensuring their routine stays consistent while you’re gone.

About: I bring a naturally calm, grounded presence into every home I enter. Pets are incredibly intuitive, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, steady environment where they feel safe and secure. Whether your dog is anxious, high-energy, or just needs consistency, I focus on maintaining a structured routine with patience and gentle guidance. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and comfortable, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in stable, attentive hands. I’m currently in school and have a lot of time in between classes! I have tons of times to take care of your best friends! When pets stay in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with consistent routines to help them settle in smoothly. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play, and I always monitor pets while outside. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers a crate for rest, I can easily accommodate that to maintain their normal routine. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

I am a stay at home mom who like any mom I am ready for anything. Last minute appointment (we all know that unexpected things happen. Don't worry about your pet message me), cleanups, accidents, snacks,protective (nothing will happen to your loved one with me), and even fun days outs. I am a mom and I am always ready for anything.

I would always treat your animals as I would want mine to be treated.

“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

About: I am a retired woman with plenty of extra love to give. I’ve babysat and taken care of numerous dogs and cats. I have a very quiet demeanor, which animals seem to appreciate.

Petra family members I will take care of yours as an extension of my own family For the taking care of pets in my home, or at the owners home, whatever the rules and regulations are per the homeowner are the rules that I go by

About: Growing up I always had a dog or two. I had worked at a dog daycare facility professionally for 8 years. During my time there, I've taken care of various puppies to their adulthood and senior dogs. Since the facility is cage-free, I dedicate myself to ensuring the dogs have fun, are safe, and love in our care. Currently, I have two medium and large dogs who constantly love to play, whether it is water play in the backyard, going on walks, frisbee or just relaxing in our backyard! I'm currently a nursing student on and a part time barista. I only work part-time for a few hours a day, usually morning until noon time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My two dogs are very friendly and social with other dogs. I have a two-level yard, a six-foot fence all around the yard, and a door your pups can easily access to potty or play. I can also provide in-house food unless your pups have allergies and need to improvise. My house is cage free but if you’d like your pet to be crate I can improvise that.

“Heath was great with Jasper! Jasper warmed up very quickly and clearly enjoyed his walk. I received lots of pictures and a detailed description of the walk. We will definitely use Heath in the future!”

“Bittersweet - Emma was super sweet and we wish her the best building her business. It wasn't a good fit for our family - she minimized feedback offered about dog care-related decision making (based in valid and evidence based concerns about safety). Immediately after the first walk and subsequent discussion, she declined to work with us further. We are bummed, because our pup connected with her quickly.”

“Alex is a courteous, friendly, and reliable dog walker. He was very good with our terrier, who has a few (!) behavioral problems.”

“Lesley is amazing! We contacted her on short notice when my fiance was suddenly returning back to work. We loved that she had the experience to provide training walks for our little guy who is still learning his leash manners. She was flexible with our schedules, and keeps in contact with updates/videos throughout. She has provided us great advice on how to be better dog parents while on our walks. In just a few visits our baby is already behaving so much better on his walks! Do yourself a favor and hire Lesley!”
