Dog Walking Graysville

About: My passion for caring for animals started at a young age. I spent many hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well as having the privilege of caring for my own pets at home. Growing up, I raised reptiles, fish, dogs, cats and hamsters….to name a few! In addition to being a down-to-earth, compassionate human, my friends would say I am trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furbabies (we can probably just call them children at this point, right) :) I am a very active person and enjoy walking, hiking and spending as much time outdoors as possible. My schedule is very flexible which would allow me work around yours! I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend!

“jen was awesome! booked her super last minute and it was my first time using anything like this so i was a little nervous, but she made me feel a lot better!”

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. Currently I have thirteen fur/feather babies. Two cats, one Australian shepherd and ten chickens. My pup just turned a year old so I have more knowledge with younger pups. Can't wait to meet your fur babies! I am a stay at home mom and have flexible availability. I can be there for your fur babies practically whenever you need me! I have better weekday availability, while weekends require planning ahead. Whether you need me to walk your dog, come over to ease their anxiety or simply let them out to potty, I can meet all their needs. Or if you have a high energy dog like my Aussie, I can get some of that energy out by playing with them while you are at work.

About: Hello! I'm Renee and I have been an "animal person" since I was a child. Starting with the family pets that were usually strays that came to stay, until today, where I have a total of 5 rescue dogs with diverse sizes and personalities. More about them later! I worked at Pampered Pet Clinic in Hillsboro Oregon several years ago and assisted the vet with procedures, surgeries, vaccinations and medications. Does your pet need timed medications? I would be happy to help you with it. I have been involved with rescuing, transporting and fostering dogs through several rescues, including "Key to Happiness" rescue which rescued and healed many homeless and injured dogs and found them new forever homes. My approach to pet sitting is to make the animal as comfortable and happy as possible, depending on what that particular pet needs the most. Some need petting and cuddles and some need playing and activity or both. It is stressful when their family is away and I make sure to become their friend. I am not there to correct behaviors but to give them the love and security that they're missing with out their family. I also have had folks come in and look after my beloved pets when going out of town and I know that it feels a little odd with someone coming into your home. For that reason I treat your home with the utmost respect. I don't go into any rooms with doors closed and do not help myself to anything that you have not specified. I check and double check all door locks and gates and am familiar with alarm codes. Your keys stay on my keychain at all times until they returned to you. I'm a mature and stable homeowner in the area with stellar local references. I will be happy to meet and greet you in your home to make sure we are a good compatible fit and can't wait to meet your fur babies! I mostly work from my home doing my online selling and crafts so have full time availability for pet and house sitting in your home. Visits, walking and even overnights are available. If I am staying in your home while you are away I will periodically leave to manage my home and pets but never more than 4 hours. Because of the number of dogs in my home with varied temperaments and sizes I prefer to pet sit in your home, rather than mine. It keeps my pups more balanced and all pets are happier in their own environment.

“Andrew was great! My dogs took to him instantly and he really helped me out last minute in a time of need. He was easy to communicate with and overall super nice!”

About: We had a dog for 17 years that passed away earlier this year at the age of 19 (able to care for a senior dog). He was adopted from Southern Indiana Animal Rescue. My son was in 3rd grade when we adopted him so we taught him how to take care of a pet. *Large fenced in backyard *Someone is always home *Dog walking included *One or more dogs from same family only at one time *Your pet(s) is priority Available weekdays and weekends. There is always someone at home that can let the dogs out. Walks after I get home from work in neighborhood or park. No other pets in the house currently. Only one family's dog(s)s at a time, no need to worry about them getting along with other pets. Your pet will be my top priority.

About: Hi! I’m Kisha, and I truly love caring for animals. I have years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, including 25 years of cat care and experience raising Persian cats. I’m also comfortable with senior pets, special-needs pets, and administering medications. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, quiet window time, or simply having someone nearby, I adjust my care to fit their personality. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for like one of my own. I work a full-time schedule, but I’m able to provide reliable care before work, during lunch when needed, after work, evenings, and weekends. For boarding pets, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable routine with plenty of attention and care while they’re staying with me. I provide a clean, safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs and normal routine. My home has security cameras throughout the property, and dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept securely leashed in my unfenced yard. I have plenty of sunny windows and quiet spaces for cats to relax, and visiting pets can be separated when needed for their comfort and safety. I take introductions slowly and carefully, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.

About: I’ve watched over pets for family and friends for years. My spouse grew up with multiple animals in the home. Our children have such a love for animals that we want to offer them the opportunity to get to know, love and care for pets in our community. This opportunity may also teach them the responsibilities they can expect when we adopt. Between the 4 of us, we will have plenty of time to devote to hanging with your fur baby. We are available most days with advance notice. We have a fenced in yard and will mimic their normal routine as much as possible. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved.

About: I've never had a time without pets in my life. Ever since I was born I had cats, dogs, mice, fish, even chinchillas! A good thing about me is that I always like to research things before I take something on. If there were any health issues or anything I would try my hardest to learn everything I could about it. Hey! I'm currently working as a waitress at nights but my mornings and early afternoons are free! I love being active and bringing a furry friend along just makes that even better. As a dog walker, I put their safety first, just as I do with my own babies. I don't like walking into new areas without making sure they're safe first. You just never know how the surroundings could be.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs for years. In my entire family, we have many dogs and cats, each with all kinds of quirky traits, and they've all ended up loving me while also feeling well taken care of! I have a very flexible schedule, so it definitely has become a part of my life! I love being around animals, so I make the time and the effort to not only take care of them, but also get to know them and become friends. I have lots of experience in housesitting, dogsitting, and catsitting, and have been very easy to accommodate to whatever you or your pet needs. I also love getting to know and become friends with the pets, and taking lots of lovely pictures to keep your mind at ease!

About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.

About: I'll make sure your animal is well taken care of. I will treat them like my own. From a morning walk to a relaxing night, I'll be there for your animal. For me, fur baby care comes before myself. They get fed when it's time to eat, never late on that. Don't forget the morning treats for those teeth either. I always have an extra leash in my car. No fur baby ever leaves my eye site. I always walk the yard to make sure there is nothing that can harm them.

About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. While I no longer work from home, I still have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home, as I have done for my own dogs 😊 I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.

“Excellent. More pictures please 😊”

About: Taking care of dogs is my passion in life. I currently own 2 dogs, an elderly hound and a young shepherd. My love for these two made me decide to have a career in working with and training working line dogs. This career path has given me a lot of experience with dogs of all types. Whether you dog is "hard to handle" or "easy going", I will be the perfect sitter for you. My entire world revolves around dogs. On days that I'm not working with my work dog or caring for someone else's pet, I am out training my own dogs. This is my passion and dream career, and nothing makes me happier. I like to care for pets at their own home. Being in their own home and following the same routines will make them feel safe while you are gone and will build a sense of trust with me. Your pet's safety and happiness is my number one priority.

“It was a pleasure to work with Ryan. There was always great communication. He sent us photos and followed our care plan exactly as discussed. We appreciate Ryan and will definitely ask him to walk our dog again.”
