Dog Walking Garden City

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.

“Wow where do I start!!!!!! Melanie has definitely set the tone for fur baby love, walks, and care! She has been walking my Elena and that says a lot because Elena doesn’t like to walk. Whatever she has done, has made my big old lady excited for walking. She’s very attentive and timely when it comes to pickups and walks. She’s responsive when I have questions and just an overall professional! Highly recommend her as a dog walker for anyone!”

“Matt was AMAZING with our pit/boxer mix, Frank. He was prompt and timely every day and posted lots of photos to help ease my “pet withdrawals” I will definitely use Matt on a regular basis and will recommend him to all of my dog parents. 10 out of 10 fantastic!!!”

“Isis is truly truly amazing! I am new to the area and I have such a peace of mind knowing that she is the one coming into my home and taking care of my two babies! She’s great on communication and taking pictures during her visits which I absolutely love and best of all she cares for them as if they’re her own! I look forward to using her in the future! Book with her ASAP!”

About: I pay a lot of attention to detail, especially in routine, and what to give a person for his or hers specific needs! Also want as much information as possible to make sure your fur baby is comfortable! I’ve worked with puppies/kittens all the way up to senior animals! I do not work full work days (Only about six hours a day and only on the weekdays) I’m home every night and all weekend. My Home is set up as pet safe for any fur baby! I have transportation means to transport any fur baby, for dogs if you sign up for a longer walk I can make a trip to the dog park if you would like! (no additional cost and no restrictions) I have a camera to check up on all fur babies and I’m able to go home if anything is needed! I have my own dog, she is crate trained and leash trained (I have a spare room (basically a pet fun room) in my house so if it’s necessary any animals can be kept separate). I am in an apartment but I always make some car trips to the dog park about 4/5 days a week (and if requested for no additional cost) I also go on constant walks around the neighborhood every 3ish hours (besides when I work/sleep)

About: I treat every pet like family and provide dependable, loving care. My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, happy, and stress free. 🤗 😄 My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate pet parents’ needs, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I understand the importance of trust and will keep you updated with messages and photos while your pet is in my care. 🐾

“I thought I wrote a review for Brooke a while back but I guess I didn’t. She is outstanding and my dog Harley absolutely loved her. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. My husband and I currently have two cats and one dog and all 3 are rescues. I love seeing our furry family grow and their insecurities from previous homes fade away. I also have experience with dogs who aren’t friendly with other dogs so should your dog need to be kept away from others on our walks I will use the upmost caution as if they were my own dog. Im happy to work with larger dogs and won’t take on more than I can control because the safety of your animals means more to me than just another buck. I’m an expert communicator and would love nothing more than to give you peace of mind that your furry family member is being taken care of.

About: I’ve fostered before, taken care of 20 cats & 6 dogs at the same time. I have a clean environment and a big fenced backyard. Im a stay at home so I’ll have lots of time for the baby. Will also keep you updated on them with pictures and videos I have a fenced yard and two service dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate our dogs if needed. As for cats I have a robot litter boxes

“Nancy is fantastic! Super flexible and I love her recaps of the visits with my 2 dogs. I have already rehired her for many more walks in the future. So glad I found her! Highly recommend!”

About: * DUE TO COVID I WILL BE WEARING A MASK AND GLOVES UPON ENTERING THE HOME* I’ve grown up with pets all my life and have a dog and 2 cats of my own. When I first tried Rover I was so nervous but ended up finding someone great it makes sense that if I was cautious to try then other people are too. I’m excited to take care of pets the way I want mine cared for. I believe that pets are family and leaving pets at home can be scary but my dog was so relaxed being able to stay where she is familiar with her surroundings and to just come home and jump back in to routine was a good feeling. It will be my personal goal to provide reassurance to both you and your companion while you’re away. At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer and am currently trying enrolled with Animal Behavior College to come a certified trainer. With this I've also completed the CPR certification for cats and dogs. My full time job was able to give me Fridays and Saturdays for the more likely chances for myself to give the care to family pets that I want for my animals. With my services I always do a check or other possible dogs around. If I am unable to cross the street of a passerby with a dog and safely I do so because I do not know the other dog well enough to know if it is okay. However if I am in a situation where I do have to pass another dog I speak up and ask if the dog is friendly while also being away of the pet I'm walking and how he or she is approaching.

About: Hello, I am a lover of all animals!! I've had the most experience with dogs and cats!! I have 2 cats and a dog! My availability is flexible and open. I am a jack of all trades and am looking to help those in need. I know what it's like to go on vacation and need someone trustworthy to care for my own pets!! I am very loyal and very loving. I am also a mother of twins so multitasking is natural for me. I love the outdoors and going for walks. I also have a very clean, non-smoking house with a fenced in yard. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you!! I have a very flexible schedule at this time so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. This is a part time job for me. I will care for your pet/pets in the very same loving way that I care for my own. I will follow your preferred instructions and send pictures!

About: I love all types of animals, big or small.. have had pets my whole life but I don’t have any right now but love love love them. I would love to take care of your fur children as if they are mine. I love taking walks, playing with them and even laying around being lazy with them to keep each other company. I am in military so I do travel some, But I’m incredibly flexible for the most part as long as I’m not out of city, I’m available to help assist you in all your pets needs. I look forward to getting to know you and your fur children and spend some quality time in whatever way you need of assistance! Thanks! My schedule is open to anything as long as you let me know in advance. Communication is huge so just let me know what’s best! Caring for pets obviously is going to differ between my home to your home but I believe that you have accommodate the pet to the best ability that you can to make the pet comfortable.
