Dog Walking Hearthstone

About: Hi! I’m Haley, and I’ve had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and for the past 2 years I’ve had the privilege of working as a professional dog groomer. Every day, I get to build trust with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors and even nervous or anxious pups. Being a groomer has taught me so much about canine behavior, patience, and creating a calm, positive environment where every dog feels safe and loved. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be difficult. That’s why I promise to care for your pet the same way I would my own—with kindness, patience, lots of love, and plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and cuddles. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home until you’re back. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🤍🐾 Pet care is my priority, and I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Because I work independently, I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits whenever possible. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll do my best to work around your schedule and provide dependable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. Since I provide care in your home, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. As a professional dog groomer, I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand canine body language and know how to safely handle nervous, energetic, shy, or senior dogs with patience and kindness. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. 🤍🐾

About: I have rescued animals and taken care of them my entire life:) I have unbreakably strong empathy for animals in need, and their owners! I’ve had experience with administering medication to my own rescues, and experience with elderly dog/kitty care. I devote my time and energy happily to every animal I meet, and no fur baby goes unnoticed or uncared for. As long as your pet is under my care, they will always be safe and loved! I’m working part time currently, so I have plenty of availability to take on fur babies! I’m available every weekday for anytime, and weekends after 3pm I have a fenced in back patio, and plenty of outdoor space for walks and potties! And I have two kitties of my own to keep any other puppies/kitties company. I have a two story townhouse where there is plenty of space

“Amanda is fantastic! We trust her completely, we can rely on her, she communicates well with us, and our dog is happy, safe, and healthy under her care. We are grateful for finding and working with her.”

About: I've taken care of puppies and senior dogs for 6 years. Mainly for my relatives, friends and coworkers. Now I'm ready to branch out. I have more experience with senior dog care but I do have some knowledge in puppy training and care. I've only taken care of two cats. I'm a stay at home mom and could easily take care of 1-2 dogs at a time. My schedule is flexible. I wake up early and go to bed early for my baby. My husband and I own a duplex with an unfenced yard. Your fur baby will have there own apartment while boarding with us. I'm basically using our upstairs unit as a dog bed and breakfast. I can regularly check on them, take them out for potty breaks and walks in my neighborhood.

“Autumn was such a huge help while I was working. She made sure Koda went on good walks and spent the time to come meet us before we started walking! She is on time and great with animals”

Emmy L.

“Dorothy was great! Very friendly and good with Luna. She sent pictures during each walk so I could see my pup was getting attention! I would definitely book her again!”

About: Starting in 2015, while working as a housekeeper, I became the go-to pet sitter for many of the families I cleaned for. Even after starting my career as an esthetics instructor, I stayed on as their trusted sitter, continuing to care for their senior cats and dogs alike, foster dogs, special needs dogs, dogs with behavioral issues. With both a cat and dog myself and having raised two litters of pups, I offer a wide variety of knowledge and expertise. I take pride in giving an insane amount of scratches, massages, baby talk and car rides for doggy ice cream from Ritters, all while singing “you are my sunshine.” I am a firm and proud believer that I ought to treat your pets as I would my very own! Having a huge heart for animals, I trust their instincts and strive to be as in tune with them as possible. They truly are so sensitive to what’s going on around them and I humbly love learning from each animal, their outlook on life and their own experiences. I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule as I only work 3 days each week as an esthetician and esthetics instructor, and have my husband to help me take care of our fur own fur babies. I don’t mind early mornings, and strive to keep a consistent routine for your pet. I will ALWAYS send check in photos each day I come, keep things clean and organized, observe their behavior, and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Elisa does such a great job when we need a walk and dinner for our dogs. We trust her to take care of our pups, especially because they can be high maintenance and sometimes hard to walk. Love that she sends us pictures too.”

About: I grew up around dogs and I have experience in pet sitting for family and friends. I also have experience in training puppies and senior care. I am currently working part-time and I set my own schedule. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I also love being outdoors and hiking with dogs I have a fenced yard with an indoor and outdoor security system. I prioritize safety and security. I also have an all season room I have used for temporary housing (strays and fosters).

About: I grew up caring for and loving animals of all kinds. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, and will always give them the best care and attention. I'm PAWSITIVE that your pupper will love me. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate virtually any pet-walking or visit appointments, Monday through Friday. I also have limited availability on weekends. I can't wait to meet your best friend! I will always treat your best friend with respect and love. Whether I'm walking your pet or dropping in for a playdate, I will ensure that your dog is happy and safe.

“Thank you so much for taking care of my guy! I appreciate the timeliness and detail of your responses. I will definitely look for you in the future😊”

About: I have grown up with a variety of pets and since 16 years of age, I have taken care of my own pets, fosters who I have rescued, and many others. I want to be able to meet more furry friends as I find joy in seeing them thrive and be taken care of! I am experienced in: ~ Taking care of several breeds of dogs, both puppies and seniors. I have taken care of Vislas, Doodles, Labradors, Havaneses, Corgis, bully breeds, Daschunds and many mixed breeds. ~ Cats - fostering, rescuing, and owning (experience specified in the cat care section) ~ Rex Rabbit - I used to own a rex rabbit (she was gifted to someone else who could not take care of her and I took her in). I am aware of the clean up, feeding, changing of water, and moods rabbits can have. My Experienced Services: ~ Walking, brushing, efficiently scheduling stopping in for potty breaks, administering medicine, feeding, cleaning up bedding/pets personal space, and caring for multiple animals at a time ~ I love to run (but not the most skilled) especially with high energy dogs who enjoy running/hiking. ~ I am a big proprietor of communication and organization, I will send photos of your pets every day of the scheduled timeframe (unless asked not to) and will provide a short report about the service and how your furry friend did during our specified time. ~ If you have a reactive dog, I MUST know beforehand and discuss with you on what the dog is reactive to as well as my conditions in walking the dog before we book any time. Any withholding of critical information about reactivity is automatically the owner's responsibility to all liability for any damage or injury and could lead to disengagement of current and future services. I currently work remotely as an administrative assistant and am in a master's program online, so I am pretty flexible in scheduling. I will collaborate with you on what would work best for both parties on all drop ins, house sits, or walking appointments. I do not offer services in my own home as I am leasing, however, all services provided for your pet and home are approached with care and safety in mind. ~ There is too high of a risk to bring dogs into a dog park/ socialize with other dogs, unless the owner specifies dogs that are on the "safe" list so I usually skip this. ~ All food, treats, and toys are under the owners guidance/ approval to give (no new/ unapproved items will be given). ~ I do request if the owner has a specific emergency vet or emergency contact, in case something happens and I have to take your furry friend to be checked on. ~ I lock up every time I leave the house and I am happy to use a security system if the owner requests.

“we just met Brooke a few weeks ago - but already my Molly loves her! she has made it out for walks even through these snow storms - i am so grateful to find someone to help me with keeping Molly active since i can't do it anymore”
