Dog Walking In Greenwood

About: Hey I’m Scout! I’m the Dog Person version of a Horse Girl, and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have never been without a dog since then, having as few as 2 and as many as 6 dogs living with me at a time (along with 1 very dog-friendly cat.) I've worked at doggy daycares and have a unique ability to connect with a wide variety of dogs and am comfortable with all sizes. One of my dogs for many years was a 135 pound English Mastiff! My oldest dog recently turned 15, so I have experience with senior care, such as helping those with limited mobility or giving oral, eye, or ear medicines. My youngest dog just turned 2 and recently earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen title on his way towards becoming a therapy team with me. Our goal is to read books with kids! I am a self-employed illustrator whose job mostly involves - you guessed it - drawing dogs. My silly job allows me to work from home and have a very flexible schedule that can fit in with your needs. Typically I find myself working to the wee hours, and I like using my daylight time to do other things like play with dogs, walk dogs, talk about dogs, talk TO dogs... that sort of thing. I hope that you and your pup join me in my Rover adventures! I'm a self-employed night owl with ADHD. During the day I would love to play with your dog! I get most of my own work done at night, and my schedule is very flexible, with a preference for mid-morning, afternoon, and evening canine activities, making me the perfect fit for your pup's afternoon activities. Maybe you just need someone to run over and give your pup their post-breakfast and pre-second breakfast treat. I can do that! Forgot to throw the ball one last time before you headed out the door? I'll be over in a flash to play fetch with your pal. Need someone to take your pup for a walk or give them dinner because you got stuck in traffic on 24? I'm your person! (Also I'm sorry. 24 is the woooorst.) I'm excited to hang out with your dog whether you need a stand-in companion for a couple hours or a couple days! I provide care and enrichment in your home and take your care instructions and routine to heart. Please let me know if there are dogs, people, cats, or other things outside your home that may be difficult or triggering for your pup to encounter on a walk. Let me know your training practices, command words, and hand signals so we can understand each other quickly and fit reinforcing behaviors into our play times! I currently do not offer care in my own home because of my senior dog and his limited mobility. But I would love to spend time with your dog in your home and neighborhood!

“Henning was great walking and feeding our dogs. It was so nice knowing Henning was going to be there for their normal mid day routine when I couldn’t. He also gave our cat some love when he would join the mix. Appreciated all the photos Henning took too!”

About: I grew up in a house with tons of animals; I can’t imagine a house without them! I am so excited to get to meet and love on new animals. I used to own a dog grooming business, have pet sat for many years, and am now looking forward to taking care of your pets via Rover! I love all pets, big or small, with any type of personality, ranging from shy to extremely outgoing. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s temperment and learning their cute quirks. As a rescue owner, rescue animals are near and dear to my heart. I look forward to getting to know your pet! I have an extremely flexible schedule these days as I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. Same day requests are very feasible with my schedule! I have worked with dogs that have used crates before. I always walk dogs with a leash and make sure their leash is on and secure before leaving the house.

“Thomas was amazing with my puppy & she gravitated towards him from when she first saw him. Beautiful spirit and grate with my baby. In grateful for the time you spent walking her for me. And I highly recommend.”

“Yasemin responded quickly and helped me when I was in a pinch. I can tell Oakley was comfortable with her and enjoyed his walk! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Ally is fantastic! She walked my dog and my mom’s dog while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She came to meet our dog beforehand and was extremely professional and nice. We had such peace of mind on our vacation knowing Ally was giving Finn, consistent, good walks! We will absolutely be using her again.”

About: My pup recently passed so looking for some new friends to shower with my love and affection. In addition to my dog, I’ve always enjoyed watching friends’ pets when they’re traveling, but now that I don’t have any pets in my own house, figured I would look beyond my friends for some opportunities. I work remotely, so my schedule is really flexible for drop ins or spending time over at your house. Whatever your needs are, I can probably make them work. Every pet has unique needs! I’m flexible in making my services fit to each pup or kitty I meet. My own dog is an anxious, reactive old man, so I know how to be patient when needed but also love to play/walk/run with a dog who wants those things too.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and today I care for three of my own. Over the years I’ve had both big and small pups — from energetic, playful ones to calm companions — and even dogs with special challenges that required patience and learning. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience in understanding different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I’ve learned how to treat and support dogs with issues, always focusing on giving them the best life possible. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply providing comfort and love, I treat every dog as if they were my own. For me, dog care isn’t just about responsibility — it’s about compassion, patience, and making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently looking for a job that fits well with my college schedule. I have gaps between classes that allow me to let dogs out or take them on walks, and outside of class hours I’m available for longer care. I’m able to provide attentive care, plenty of playtime, and a loving, safe environment for your dog. I’ve been a dog owner for many years, and dogs have always been family to me. I’m often called a “dog dad,” which makes sense because I treat every dog with the same care and respect I give my own. I provide enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged while you’re away, along with plenty of love and attentive care, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands.

“Thanks for walking our Chex on such short notice!”

About: I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life! I have been pet sitting/ walking since I was old enough to, and I now own two lovely cats :) I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and am very patient / experienced with elderly and young pets. As a musician, I get to create my own schedule—meaning I am very flexible and can adapt to your needs. If you’ll have me, I’d love to treat your precious ones with the same love and care i could my own someday :) I have a very flexible schedule at the moment! I can create my daily schedule based on your needs. I am organized and reliable, and have no problem waking up very early or staying late to make sure your pets are happy and safe! I am very gentle with pets, but also very playful! I recognize that they are often home alone for a good portion of the day, and that they would love a companion and a way to release energy. In my own home, I carve out time each and every day to properly stimulate my cats! In others’ homes, I do my best to appear as a familiar figure in the pets’ safe space. With cats, I take a gentler approach. With dogs, I let them sniff and then shower them with cuddles and playtime! And on walks, I am happy to walk them for as long as needed. I recognize that some dogs need a lot of exercise or stimulation, and with my active lifestyle it’s nothing I can’t handle.

“We love Alexis, she’s so great with Olly! Highly recommend”

About: I'm a 10 year old cat mom and a dog auntie! I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am familiar with giving animals, specifically cats, medicine (my cat has had urinary issues throughout the years) and I LOVE when my friends ask me to watch/play/walk their sweet doggies. I am currently working part time so my availability is very flexible. I work Wednesdays and Thursdays and have majority of the days open the remainder of the week. I respect boundaries and any specific notes that you have for your animals. They are a part of the family so when I enter the home I want them to feel safe and loved.

About: Hi, I’m Heather! I’ve been pet sitting for my family and friends since 2021. I love to spend my free time volunteering with MACC. I have my own fur babies, Billie and Evie. Billie is my sweet dog in her golden years so I have experience dealing with senior dog care like limited mobility and giving oral medications. I understand the stress and anxiety of leaving your fur babies behind when you’re gone so I look forward to sending you cute photos of your pet! You’ll never have to wonder what they’re up to under my care. I want your fur baby to have the best care possible and I am ready to make that happen! I am self-employed so I am available from 7 am to 4 pm every weekday and available from 12 pm to 5 pm on weekends. I am very reliable and you can always count on me! I provide a safe, healthy, and loving environment for my own pets and strive to do the same for yours! I would follow any guidelines you have for your pets and try my best to keep the exact same routine you do for them. I only walk/run leashed dogs and do not do dog parks for safety purposes. It’s very important to me that every pet I take care of feels loved and comfortable!

About: I am a true dog lover! I have had 3 dogs in my life and I am very comfortable around all breeds. I most recently had two yellow labs - both deceased - and I miss having dogs around. They both had vast medical issues, cancer, diabetes, etc. and I am very comfortable administering medication, shots, pills etc. if need be. My husband works from home and will be able to walk the dogs and play with them throughout the day. I will be able to stop at home during lunch to walk the dogs and play with them as well throughout the day. We are both animal lovers and would have a blast taking care of your dog(s) while you're away! We can't wait!

About: I am a life long animal lover and pet owner. Ive had cats and dogs my whole life and love the light they bring to our lives. I truly think of pets of family and I promise to treat your baby like my own. I am comfortable with administering meds and light grooming. I’m currently working from home part time so my daily schedule is actually pretty flexible. I am available in the afternoons, evenings and even overnight. I have a pet safe home and apartment complex. We have plenty of grass and space for your baby to safely roam. Plus I am walking distance from a neighborhood park with plenty of space.
