Dog Walking in Garfield

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was seven years old and have cared for them at every stage of life—from playful puppies to adopted rescues. Training and spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I hope to become a trainer one day. Right now, I’m a proud dog mom and also volunteer as a dog walker at my local shelter, where I get to work with pups of all sizes and personalities. I'm currently at home full time and my only schedule revolves around my puppy. I'm very flexible and willing to work with what you need. I'm trained in using several types of leads, positive reinforcement, building trust, and treating every dog like one of my own. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible leaving your dog in my care.

“Elizabeth is a dream! She was super helpful to us in a time of need and we will absolutely rising her in the future. Our two dogs love her. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages for friends and family. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and pets with unique personalities, and I understand how important routine, patience, and affection are to keeping animals calm and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. What sets me apart is my lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals. I’m highly attentive, calm, and intuitive with pets, which helps me quickly pick up on their needs, moods, and routines. I’m patient with nervous or shy animals, gentle with seniors, and playful yet responsible with high-energy pets. Because I’ve been trusted by friends and family for decades, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s beloved companion. I provide dependable, loving care and clear communication so pet parents can feel completely at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, timely meals, clean litter boxes, playtime, and companionship. I’m reliable with routines and understand how important consistency is for cats, especially when their owners are away. Because I’m organized and attentive, I’m able to provide flexible availability while still giving each pet calm, focused care and individualized attention every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to minimize stress. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime preferences, and any special needs. I spend quality time with each pet—whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply being a calm presence for shy pets. I treat my pets just the same. I keep the environment clean, safe, and respectful, monitor behavior and appetite, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel at ease. My goal is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their humans are away.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I work remotely so I'm home constantly. I regularly monitor my pets and make sure they are comfortable. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.

About: As a dedicated dog mom, I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet like family. I’ve been caring for my own pup, Kobe, for over 2 years, and I understand the importance of exercise, routine, and affection. Whether your dog needs a walk, a playdate, or overnight care, I’m here to provide a safe and loving experience work per diem and am a college student, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available for walks, check-ins, and boarding most weekdays and weekends. Let’s find a time that works best for you and your pup! I live in a pet-friendly community with access to a spacious park, so your pup will have plenty of room to run and play! I ensure a safe and loving environment, following all care instructions you provide. Whether your dog prefers long walks, playtime, or just relaxing indoors, I’ll make sure they feel at home while in my care.

About: My family and I grew up with 2 dogs, small and big. With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, I treat every pup like family. I’m great with all personalities- from playful, high-energy walkers to shy, gentle dogs and seniors who need extra patience and TLC. I pay close attention to routines like feeding times, potty breaks, medications, and favorite playtime activities so your dog feels safe, relaxed, and right at home. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or just extra cuddles, I make sure every dog gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am a nurse by night, but a dog lover at all hours of the day. your dog will always have my full attention :) Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I treat every pet like family and follow their routines closely- from feeding times and potty breaks to medications and bedtime habits. I’m gentle with shy or nervous dogs, patient with seniors, and playful with pups who love to burn energy. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, happy, and right at home.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I'd also happily walk/spend time with your dog. I've had a lot of good experiences with them as well - me and my landlady's dog are good pals! I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can potentially swap my shift in an urgent situation. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

About: Hi! I’m Andrea, your fur baby’s new bestie! I’ve taken care of various types of pets (hamsters, bunnies, dogs and cats) since I was 12. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I’ve cared for pets of family members, friends and even clients I also babysat and house-sat for. I am responsible, treat all fur babies as if they were my own, and know just how to keep them happy, healthy and entertained while you’re away! I work from home, allowing for a lot of time and flexibility for multiple walks, meals and play breaks throughout the day, both during the week and over the weekend. I am very responsible and communicative, will ask thorough questions upfront about any routines, medicines and care tips and share regular updates with you throughout my visits.

About: I've cared for all sorts of dogs growing up: big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, hyper dogs, old dogs, and young dogs. I've even cared for my roommate's cat from time to time. I love every second of it, and your pet will love everything about me! I can guarantee that your pet will be in good hands! I am available at all hours between Monday through Thursday. If it is to just let your pet outside or to watch over your house while you are away overnight, I am available! Walking and playing are some of the highest priorities for pet parents, so that will be mine as well. I will make sure your pet will be entertained and walked/let out as instructed. As well as feedings and bathings! *Will not bathe aggressive pets*

About: I’ve been taking care of small to large dogs for about six years now, caring for up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m an absolute dog lover and look forward to working with you and your pup(s)! I will diligently follow any specific requests you have regarding the love and care of your fur babies! I will love and take care of them like I do my own girl, Winnie! I am available Friday at 4pm through Sunday for walking, drop ins, and boarding. I am a teacher, so weekdays are dependent on the needs of your pups but I am happy to accommodate whatever I can during the school year! I have a 35 lb lab mix at home who is dog friendly. I will treat your dog as if they are my own and will adhere to whatever guidelines and rules you provide! There are no kids in my non-smoking home.

“Xavier was great! He was on time and patient. I have two dogs with special needs and Xavier took care of them with no issue. He sent plenty of pictures and they clearly were very well taken care of. He was communicative and very helpful!”

About: Hi my name is Marisol, I’ve interacted with so many dogs and various breeds over the years. Dogs are such pure creatures and I enjoy being around them and playing with them. I’ve had my own dogs before and truly enjoy seeing dogs in a loving home. I will soon start college, and all my classes will be afternoon classes. A morning schedule will be the best fit for me to walk and do drop-ins for your beautiful pups! I will respect your home as if it were mine and keep your pet happy and comfortable, while keeping them entertained and/or relaxed in their own home.

“Denise was quick to answer my request and addressed all my pet care concerns. Percy seemed to really love his time with her, definitely will be booking with her again!”

“Emma did great with my dog, understanding that he needed a little time to warm up to a stranger (he needed me to go along with them for the first time) and his quirks. Would book with her again!”

“Nicole was fantastic with our dog and couldn’t recommend her more. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend Nicole for your next dog sitter needs, you won’t be disappointed. Personally I’ll be coming back to Nicole every time we need a puppy sitter.”

“We’ve used Jonathan a few times now to walk our older dog, Archer, when we’ve been away. Not only is he prompt, reliable and trustworthy, it’s clear he truly cares. We had some difficulty finding someone to walk Archer because he requires extra care and assistance having a BM. Jonathan was very patient as I trained and instructed him. Now, we have the utmost trust and peace of mind that Archer will be well cared for when we’re away or not able to. If I could give him 10 stars I would.”
