Dog Walking Hereford

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have class on Monday afternoons, but sadly the rest of my schedule is pretty up in the air right now. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

“Emily arrived on time and was so friendly and warm greeting Sadie. She definitely provided Sadie a great walk and rewarding experience. I would definitely use Emily again?”

About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.

“Amazing service! She refilled my boy water bowl and offered to wipe his paws after the walk. I will be rebooking.”

“Shelby was so nice and helpful, she send me pictures about Pisco and treat him very well, and follow all my instructions to take care of him ✨ I’ll definitely call her again in the future if I need more help with my pup ! Thank you so much Shelby!”

About: Hi pet parents, I have lifelong experiences with many types of animals at various life stages: especially comfortable with large breed and high energy dogs, exotics (parrots, rats, reptiles), equines, and livestock. I am a college student with a very open and flexible schedule to be there for the pet as much as the pet parent wants! I can offer house sitting, dog walks, potty breaks, overnight care… I can also get mail, water plants, and other house tasks. I have done farm sitting for 5 years, both pets and livestock, caring for animals and doing farm chores. I am an experienced equestrian and am very comfortable with horses, horse care (feeding, mucking, turning out) and managing senior horses. I have reliable transport and am willing to travel for pet care. Routinely, I travel from school to home and various other farms to provide care to pets and livestock. Growing up with animals, i have had my fair share of bad pet sitting experiences and when I first started sitting, i promised to provide care I would expect for my own pets. I promise to interact with and treat pets as my own and to give each individualized care. I love caring for animals and researching the best ways to provide for any species I am caring for. I also understand the importance of animal behavior and body language when interacting with animals and have a particular love and respect for shy or aggressive pets.

About: I bring a combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals that sets me apart from other sitters. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I am trained in providing medication administration, gentle handling for anxious pets, and creating structured routines to keep pets happy and healthy. My attention to detail ensures that every pet receives individualized care, and I communicate regularly with owners to give updates and peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, training support, or senior pet care, I tailor my approach to meet each animal’s unique needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available evenings and on weekends to provide care for your pets. During these times, I dedicate focused attention to feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can follow your pet’s specific routines and make sure they receive the care and interaction they need while maintaining a structured schedule that keeps them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and happy. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, engage in playtime and exercise, and offer plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I treat the space and pets with respect, following all owner instructions carefully. I maintain routines as directed, ensure pets have fresh water and food, and provide companionship and exercise. I also keep the owner updated with regular messages or photos, so they feel confident their pets are safe and well-cared for while they’re away.

“Brian took great care of my girl, Lemon! He made sure the plan for Lem was super clear beforehand, which I especially appreciated since the schedule I gave him to complement my friend's visit schedule was not perfectly regular, and he didn't miss a visit! He also had to deal with a terrible cold spell, but when he couldn't walk Lemon for more than 5 minutes at a time (about all she can tolerate when it's that cold), he took her for two short walks to make sure she did all her business and then played ball with her in the house. We came home to a dog who, while happy to see us, was clearly doing just fine without us, which is all I can ask for :)”

About: I have taken care of pets for family and friends for years. I am happy to travel to your home, and looking for some opportunities before I move back to school later this month. I am currently on winter break, so I have full availability all day until the end of January! I am happy to do overnight visits and board dogs as well. I live on 30 acres so if your dog likes to run, I'm the pet sitter for you! I am caring and attentive and I have 2 doodles to keep your fur baby company.

“You are awesome!! Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy. The way you tuned in to Nash is so appreciated. He is crazy about you!!!”

About: Hike 15-20 miles/week. Love big active dogs. Volunteer dog walker and transporter for Baltimore Humane Society. Volunteer with Geo Vets, International. Dog/house sitting experience. I have a very flexible schedule and loads of time to wear your dog(s) out! My preference is a wooded hiking trail as they will be stimulated by the variety of scents, but can do your neighborhood if that’s better for you. I have been trained in various dog behavior techniques and will employ “4 on the floor” at a minimum in order to get a leash or harness on and avoid over excitement.

“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”

About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.

About: I have had dogs all my life, I currently have 4 dogs in my family home, one of them being solely mine! I have always loved them so much and trained all my dogs all the tricks and such they know. I had been a volunteer at the humane society of Catawba valley for 4 years when I was in college and that is now how I have my rescue, Bella. I am constantly donating to animal organizations and also fostered 3 puppies about 3 years ago. I am now fostering dogs for a rescue until they get adopted and I love it so much. I dog sit friends and families dogs all the time and they are always very pleased! Your dog will love being and playing with me I promise! They will be in the best care possible and I will attend to any special needs as well! I like to know any behavioral / aggressive tendencies as well so I can make your pet as happy and as comfortable as possible! : )

“Bryan was great with my dogs during their walks. He was reliable, on time, and easy to communicate with. My dogs came back happy and well exercised, and it was clear they were comfortable with him. This guy doesn’t miss. I’d definitely use Bryan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”

About: Let us offer you the peace of mind you need if you're out of town on business, on vacation, or just at the office. We comfort your canine & feline friends during the day, so when you arrive home everyone can begin relaxing right away. We are truly "animal people". No kids, married for over 40 years and living on a small farm in White Hall where we care for our menagerie of 4 legged friends. We know first hand how hard it is to find reliable help to look after our animals and the farm when we need to leave for anything more than a long day. Our alpacas are registered breeding stock and the guineas are for general amusement. But, the cats and dogs are all rescues, receive regular vet care and are fed on a routine schedule. We care deeply about their well being, nurse them like children when they are sick and spend a great deal of time and effort keeping them healthy and happy. We are regulars with our local vet and feed mill and know the area well. Hard work and long days are par for the course for us. Our common sense is well polished and we pay great attention to detail and feel quality communication is key to any relationship. We have been renovating a small farm house for many years, a work in progress as they say. We like to do business in the local community and are now in a position to offer our experience to the pet owners in our area. We are professional without being stuffy and want all animals to enjoy a high quality of life. As a full time photographer, I work in my studio most days and sometimes weekends too. Pets are either with me in the studio, or in the house with us at night. Your dogs join me in the studio on days I am working there, and they'll have one feline companion. I enjoy dogs that are laid back and my husband enjoys energetic dogs. Together with all that goes on at the farm, owners always tell us they are very relaxed when they go home.

“Jamie was wonderful to work with and did a great job with our pup. I look forward to using her services again in the future.”
