Dog Walking Hartley

About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.

“Shawna is such an amazing dog walker! I am very particular on who is around/handles my dog and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and happy! It’s such a huge piece of mind knowing that he’s is getting exercise while I’m at work. She always leaves the best reports for me to read after their walks 😊 Thank you Shawna for loving my dog as much as I do!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve owned a Chihuahua, Beagle, and currently a dog mom to a 5 year old pitbull! So I’m comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, providing dependable, loving care every time. I am currently available 7 days a week! 24/7. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to cater to your specific time frames needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy while giving your pet consistent care and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well taken care of. During walks and visits, I focus on safety, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, while also making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they need active play or a slower, more relaxed pace.

My availability is really open, don’t have any dogs of my own, but grew up with them. I miss the connection. So I thought, I would put myself out there, to help service them. In my home I care for my cat Bella by giving her lots of love and making sure to keep her litter box cleaned and let her have her outside time around the yard. My cat Toby, I give him treats and try to teach him some tricks. Give lots of attention and time to play with his toys. He’s a little monster but I love him. Having a clean environment is not only necessary for your animals but yourself. I do the litter box multiple times a week.

Looking to spend quality time with my senior dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would care for your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.

About: I love caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! My family calls me the “dog whisperer” and I’m highly reliable and can almost always meet your time requirements for check-ins and walks!

I am typically working Tues-Fri 7a-530p. I am available to drop in and care for your fur babies any time around that schedule with proper notice.

If there are any special instructions regarding the care of your fur baby, I will be sure to adhere to those as well.

About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you!

About: I have nearly 10 years of experience primarily caring for dogs, ranging from Maltese to Malamutes – no dog is too big or too small to receive my love. My passion involves playing, cuddling, and providing ample affection to every pet I meet. Additionally, I've successfully trained several headstrong pets, achieving remarkable results. If your pet needs training or positive exposure therapy, I'm here to help. My own Shitzu poodle mix pup, Maybach, is a 8-year-old sweetheart whom I've trained extensively due to his exceptional intelligence. We both enjoy running in the yard and going on long walks. I'm excited to meet your pet and share loads of fun together! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize giving my own the attention, exercise, and care they need, whether through long walks, play sessions, or training time. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each of their needs, ensuring consistent, loving care throughout the week. My pets are on a twice a day feeding regiments, they get fed at 8:30-9am and then 6-6:30 pm. I follow however the client instructs me on how to feed them, I don’t mind just kibble or toppers beyond toppers to get them fed.

“Karci is an outstanding dog walker !! She is also A lovely person and is very professional. Always came on time and my dog welcomed her with excitement. I would not hesitate to request her in the future . Thank you Karci and Rover.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 7 years. In the past two years, I started house/dog sitting for close friends and family. I currently am working only as a pet sitter. I will be continuing my education in January where I hope I can continue to petsit on weekends and some weekdays. I have lots of experience taking care of animals since I have two dogs of my own. I will create a loving and caring environment for your fur babies.

About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.

“Veronica was super friendly! Walked Toby and gave him treats. She followed directions well and I’m sure my dog loved getting walked while I was at work!”

“Josey was great to work with! She checked in the night before, was punctual and listened intently on some tips and tricks of walking our pup. Josey snapped a few pictures on the walk, took him out for 45min and Auggie came back happy.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old, but have loved them my whole life! I have pet sat for dogs, cats, and even a pot belly pig. I delivered my female labs litter at 12 years old and ended up taking care of all 13 pups for the first 6 weeks of their lives. My absolute passion is dogs and I genuinely love getting to meet and spend time with dogs of all breeds and ages! We are a military family who simply miss getting to have a house full of pups! We have an almost 9 year old French bulldog who likes to be the alpha in most situations but gets along with everyone. Our house is large enough where if needed we are able to keep her separated. She is fixed with all her shots. I am always happy to do a preliminary meet and greet, so the you and the animals all feel comfortable. I’m available Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day. I am able to do drop offs, pick ups, and drop ins. I also have access to Travis Air Force base. I have a large fence in yard with a side gate. I am able crate your pets inside our temperature controlled house as well. Animals would stay in their crates in our guest room or if in our bedroom at night. My goal is to make the time away from their normal environment as easy if a transition as possible and make them comfortable and feel safe and loved while you are away.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for 15+ years, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, sizes, and care needs. I’m also a proud dog owner to two dogs of my own, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and personalized care. I treat every dog like family and strive to make every appointment a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience! I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate dog-walking and pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m available the majority of weekends and am happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. I’ll make every effort to find a time that works for both you and your pup! I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and well cared for. With two dogs of my own, I’m experienced in maintaining routines, supervising interactions, and making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. When caring for other dogs, I’ll follow their individual routines and instructions closely, including feeding, exercise, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. My priority is always to keep every dog safe, happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family.

About: Hi! I’m not just a pet sitter, I’m your pet’s second best friend (after you, of course)! I have hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even fish. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal. My goal is to make you feel completely confident and your pet feels completely comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am working another part-time job, so my availability is very open, and I have many hours of the day needed for clients and their pets. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, monitor behavior and health, and ensure doors, gates, and enclosures are always safely secured.
