Dog Walking Helderberg

“Jessica went above and beyond for Daisy! She was so patient and understanding of our shelter dog's need for slow intros and some extra support learning to walk politely on the leash. She was super communicative and took care to follow all the instructions we gave her. We recommend her highly to anyone who needs walking/petsitting services!”

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows and I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

“Katharine was extremely easy to work with! She assisted in fulfilling a last minute request, and got along great with my dog! She was able to get my pup to take a walk and eat her food, which are often difficult tasks due to my dogs anxiety. Would 100% recommend Katharine to others!!”

About: I am an occupational therapy graduate student and an animal lover. I do not have a fur baby of my own at the moment due to my moving around, but whenever family or friends need someone to watch their pet, I am always the one they ask! For the summer, I am taking online courses with asynchronous work allowing for a flexible schedule. I work a respite care job on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; other than that, I am free. It is important to keep your pets as comfortable as possible. I am attentive to any special instructions regarding medication or diet. As an OT student, I have a lot of experience in caregiving and am patient. I also provide updates and photos to owners, so they know what their pets are up to!

“Great to have such a reliable, experienced pro to address Zadie's needs. Surpassed expectations and it's reassuring to know she was able to manage an encounter with another dog smoothly to prevent a dog fight. Phew! Will be asking to return as much as possible!”

“Connelly was very responsive and sent multiple updates. She was quick to accommodate her schedule last minute to come and see Zola and I greatly appreciate that and highly recommend her for her services!”

“Bradley is a terrific walker. He is attentive to my dog’s needs and diligent with the daily schedule. He promptly communicates throughout each walk and is very caring for my pooch. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Bradley.”

“Kathryn took such good care of my dog! He loved her right away when he met her. My dog looks so happy in the photos she sent, we’ll be coming back to her in the future :)”

“Miranda was our first dog walker and we are so happy that we decided to book! She made us comfortable by staying in contact with us and making our doggo comfortable. Miranda was very accommodating and friendly! Will definitely use again and recommend! Thank you!!!”

About: I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all. I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet. I ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and comfortable. I let them become used to me and work around them. This is their space a they should feel safe there.

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

“Walked my dog over the weekend when I was away”

About: I am a B.Tech graduate in Canine Training and Management with years of experience handling diverse breeds, from high-drive working dogs to rescues. I offer more than just a walk; I bring professional behavioral expertise to ensure your dog stays safe, engaged, and well-cared for. I am fully equipped to handle walks, training reinforcement, and specific household routines. I look forward to providing your pet with expert, compassionate care! I am a recent graduate with a degree in Canine Training and Management and have full-time availability through the summer. I am a professional who excels at time management and maintaining strict routines. Even as I begin my Masters in August, I prioritize punctuality and clear communication to ensure your pet's schedule remains consistent and stress-free. I treat every pet with the same devotion I give my own therapy cat, Athena. My professional background means I’m always scanning for hazards and using 'behavior as communication' to read your pet's stress levels. Whether it's double-locking your doors or using professional handling for powerful breeds on-leash, safety and security are my top priorities.

“Alexandra has been walking my dog for the past three months, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is attentive, warm, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog adores her! Her communication is excellent, and the photos she sends are always amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as pets of neighbors and friends since I was a teenager. I was responsible for walking my childhood dog every day and I used to dogs who like to tug on the leash. I currently work part time and my schedule varies week to week but I have plenty of time during my off days to take care of your pets. I have a large fenced in yard and safe sidewalks to walk your dog if needed. I also have no other animals in my house so you will not have to worry about your pet not getting along with another animal.

“Great communication & service. I was in a terrible predicament &;Heather was great & alleviated a lot of stress. My dog is a great judge of character & he took to Heather immediately. Highly recommend”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Kateri is amazing! I needed to come into town at the last minute for a court appearance, and she was able to cheerfully meet me and my dog in front of the courthouse and take him on a fantastic outing. She had a plan to take him on a nature walk, which was far better than anything I could’ve imagined for him. He came back nicely, tuckered out and snoozed in the back of the car the whole drive home.”

“So nice and great with the dogs. Definitely made me feel better while I was away from home :)”
