Dog Walking Harbor Gateway

About: I've had a lifelong love for animals, from being a devoted mom to two energetic huskies to caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I also have experience looking after senior and special needs animals, so I truly understand the unique needs of pets. I’m passionate about providing attentive, loving care to every pet as if they were my own. I make time for all pets and am here to help you with any needs. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting your sweet furry kids. When caring for pets in their home, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I offer personalized care based on each pet's needs, which includes regular walks to keep them active and healthy, interactive playtime to keep them engaged, and plenty of attention to make sure they feel secure. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner to maintain consistency and routine. Above all, safety is my top priority, and I always ensure pets are in a secure environment, whether I’m indoors or out, and that they have plenty of fresh water, food, and comfortable resting spaces.

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: My experiences with animals have ranged from puppies to horses growing up. And I have previously dog sat for family friends over the last few years. I’m currently enrolled in college online. So I am available most of the week while working early mornings typically. Mornings, afternoons, nights. You name it. I like to keep a regular schedule for the pets, and I always make sure I’m there for the pet parents and their furry friends.

About: I have experience caring for dogs 🐶 of all personalities, including feeding 🍽️, walking 🚶‍♀️, playtime 🎾, cuddles 🐾, and companionship ❤️. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs 🐕🐕‍🦺, and I always follow the owner’s instructions ✅ to keep routines consistent. I love making every dog feel happy, safe, and loved ✨🐾. I’m a stay-at-home mom 🏡, so I’m home most of the day to give dogs 🐶 walks, playtime, and in-home care. I’m available weekdays and weekends 📅, and I keep my schedule flexible to fit your dog’s routine ✨. Your dog’s safety is my top priority! All walks are done in my safe, familiar neighborhood 🚶‍♀️, and my large backyard is fully fenced 🏡 for secure outdoor play. Dogs are never left unsupervised, and I always follow the owner’s instructions ✅.

About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.

About: I don’t have a lot of experience taking care of other peoples pets but I am a fast learner. I grew up on a farm and most of my experiences are of taking care of the animals on the farm. In recent years, I have walked my son’s dog, Mochi, twice a day. I truly enjoyed it because dogs have a special way of demonstrating universal love. The dog in my profile picture was Charle. He got us thru COVID and he transitioned at the age of 15. He was the only pet that I loved who had a place in my home. I am a school teacher off for the summer. My weekends are busy with volunteer services for my church. I am available Monday - Friday for the months of June, July and August. Presently, I am offering dog walking services only. When I meet your pet at your home, I will attempt to connect with your pet to make sure we trust each other before going out for the walk.

“Thank you so much Ms. Patty! Bandy looks great when we’re home. We booked the dog walking pretty last minute and thank you for your accommodation!”

About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!

About: I’ve spent years caring for the cats and dogs of friends and family — handling feeding routines, daily walks, drop-ins, and keeping pets happy and comfortable when their people are away. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every animal like my own. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. Pet care is a priority in my routine, not an afterthought. My schedule is flexible and mostly open, which means I can show up consistently and give your pet the time and attention they actually deserve! When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Your pet stays in their own space, surrounded by everything familiar — their smells, their favorite spots, their routine. I follow your lead on feeding, walking schedules, and any specific needs your pet has. I match my energy to theirs — calm and quiet when they need to decompress, playful and engaged when they’re ready for it. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you stay informed the whole time!

About: I am a loving and caring dog person who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and they always seem to feel comfortable and happy around me. I welcome every new dog with patience, kindness, and a calm presence. I have three dogs of my own, and caring for them has taught me how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I make time to play with them, keep them active, and make sure they feel safe and loved. I enjoy long walks and I can keep up with dogs who walk fast. It is great exercise for both of us and a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors. I recently moved into a new apartment and started a new job, and I hope that dog walking will help me earn a little extra while doing something I truly enjoy. I miss my dogs when I am away from them, so meeting new dogs or walking the same dog each week sounds like a lot of fun to me. Your dog will always be treated with care, attention, and respect. I look forward to spending time with your pup and making each walk a positive and happy experience. Pet care is part of my daily routine: feeding, walking, and playing with pets morning and evening, plus taking them to dog parks in the mornings when the weather is nice I care for pets by feeding, walking, playing with them daily, and ensuring they’re comfortable and safe at home or my client’s home. I also make sure to watch them and never leave them unattended

About: I have a deep love for animals and enjoy capturing their adorable moments through candid photos. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets, and have encouraged me to expand my clientele of pawfect fur parents. Whether you're simply busy or on vacation, I keep owners updated and ensure your pet(s) get plenty of love and exercise every day. I'm taking time to find the right fit in my professional career, which allows for a very flexible schedule. Meanwhile, I’d love to spend more time in screen-free environments and enjoy the nice weather outside. I provide pets with my complete attention, treating them with the same love and responsibility as my own. I follow owners' instructions precisely, ensuring their pet’s safety and maintaining the home’s condition. I always keep the water bowl full, make sure potty breaks happen on time, and ensure meals, medication, or treats are given as scheduled.

About: We personally have a working dog breed with endless energy. Our pup also deals with separation anxiety, so we understand how to provide support dogs who experience the same issues . With 10+ years of dog companionship experience, you can feel comfortable knowing your family member is in good hands. Your pup will always have company and supervision in our home. I work 4 days a week and my husband wfh full time. He does travel periodically. Please see availability on the calendar for the most accurate schedule. I understand deeply how important it is treat every dog specific to their required needs. Every dog will be treated like my own family member. Please provide any quirks your pup may have. Miles does seek dominance with other male pups, for now we are only accepting spayed females.

About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years and have also fostered puppies and kittens in the past 2 years. I'm happy to take your furbabies on walks, encourage them to socialize, and help reinforce training, if desired. I'm usually available for boarding on most days and weekends upon reasonable notice. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, which would allow me to work from home during the week on a need basis, just let me know ahead of time. We currently have an 8 month old pup at home. She’s well socialized, up to date on her shots, and lovesss to have guests over. I will treat your fur baby with the same care and attention I treat our Momo. I like to stick to meal schedules, dedicated play time, and routine walks to ensure a healthy diet and plenty of exercise time!

“I have been meaning to leave a review for Allen as he’s been our regular dog walker for a while. Allen has been very caring with our two dogs, including one somewhat hostile chihuahua and one elderly chihuahua who is blind and suffering from cognitive decline. He’s been so flexible and understanding with our elderly dog’s evolving care needs and is always so communicative.”

About: Hi! I’m Kadi, warm, patient, and genuinely love connecting with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family (and keep you updated every step of the way), you’re in the right place. I’ve spent my entire life around animals, 36+ years growing up with cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, and fish, and later fostering kittens as an adult. I currently have a 14-year-old senior kitty, Bijou, who is my absolute love. I recently said goodbye to another beloved senior cat, so I deeply understand how much love, attention, and thoughtful care pets need, especially as they get older. Because I’m not in a place to bring another pet into my home full-time, pet sitting allows me to do what I love most: care for animals while supporting other pet parents. I specialize in in-home visits, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I’m experienced with: -Senior pets and their unique needs -Administering medications (including injections and transdermal gels) -Kittens and multi-pet households -Shy or slower-to-warm animals My approach is calm, intuitive, and respectful. I let pets come to me at their own pace and always prefer to meet with you and your pet beforehand so we can build trust together. You can expect: -Thoughtful, attentive care tailored to your pet -Clear communication -Lots of photo and video updates (because as a pet parent, this is the thing I appreciate the most when I’m away from my girl!) -I’m organized, reliable, and able to juggle a lot, so you can feel confident your pet and your home are in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet 🤍 I’m currently building my own business from home and have a lot of flexibility during the day and evenings to take care of your pets! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets, go for walks, and or feed and play with them! Whatever works best for your pet. At this time, I do not offer boarding them at my place.

About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends

About: Hi, I’m Derick! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have been actively helping care for pets through our family’s pet care business. I assist with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in our home. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide individualized care. Because there is almost always someone home, dogs receive plenty of supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing fetch, and helping pets feel relaxed and at home while their families are away. My goal is simple: to treat every dog like they’re part of the family and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. One thing that makes our home special is that someone is almost always home. I’m home full-time this summer, both of my parents are retired, and even my youngest sibling is 15 and home for the summer. Whether it’s me or one of my family members, your pup will always have company, love, and attentive care. 🏠🐾❤️ Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Someone is always home, whether it’s me or one of my family members, so your pup will never be left unattended. We constantly supervise the dogs during playtime, potty breaks, meals, and rest time. Our yard is fully fenced, giving them a safe and secure space to enjoy while still being closely watched. :)
