Dog Walking Goldsmith

About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years now. I also trained my dog and assisted with others for 9 years through Tipton Co 4-h. I love to watch dogs play and take them to the park if they’re allowed. They bring joy to my heart. I’m currently unemployed due to a temporary disability. I need at least 4 hours a day to leave the home for appointments and ensuring my grandmother is getting along alright each day. We have no animals so I look forward to each pet that I sit. I do pet care in the clients home. I’m willing to walk your pets each day, and I love to play with all animals. I am able to brush pets if needed as well as brush teeth and syringe feed.

About: I stand out by providing attentive, in-home care where pets stay comfortable in their own routine and environment. I have experience caring for both young and senior pets, including administering basic care, handling high-energy animals, and being patient with older pets who need a gentler approach. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding times, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they need. Since I’m not gone for long hours, pets aren’t left alone for extended periods, and I can keep a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I truly enjoy having pets as part of my daily life, so making time for them is something I prioritize. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I stick closely to each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family with lots of attention, supervision, and a comfortable space to relax. I make sure to respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, I focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.
