Dog Walking Hills

“Shae was great with my dog. Not only did she take care of him, but she really went above and beyond. She wiped my dogs paws before letting him inside when it was a rainy day. She picked up trash that got blown into my yard from a neighboring construction site. She brought my packages into my garage when I got an Amazon delivery. I would definitely book Shae again.”

“Auden has given walks to our dog, Mochi, over the last six months. She was a lifesaver after I had a baby in January and it was harder for me to have the time to walk Mochi, especially in the cold weather. Mochi especially loved going on walks in Hickory Hill Park with her. Thank you, Auden!”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly love caring for them. Growing up, even before my family adopted our dog Rylee, I would often visit neighbors just to spend time playing with their dogs, and it’s something I’ve always enjoyed and felt drawn to. Once we brought Rylee home, I learned firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement when caring for a dog. I also believe verbal communication plays a big role in helping dogs feel comfortable, understood, and loved. Over time, I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors in my community. I’ve provided midday walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always making sure each dog feels safe and happy in their routine. As your dog sitter, my goal is to bring that same care, attention, and positivity into your home, so both you and your pet can feel relaxed and confident while you’re away. I’m currently preparing for the DAT this summer before I go back to school at the University of Iowa in the Fall. I plan to dedicate prep time for my early mornings. Therefore, I would be available to drop in for walking or anything else in mid day and evenings I would prefer to be a drop in sitter. I can ensure that I am very comfortable with walking dogs. I have provided care to private residents for dog care and babysitting, and therefore I have a great understanding every family has different needs and I’m more than willing to accommodate with any needs you have:)

“Alexis has been quick to respond, very friendly and wants the best for your pet. We’ve had a good experience with her and know that we can trust her with our puppy! She does great at communicating when we ask about the day or need to tell her something that wasn’t previously discussed.”

About: I've personally owned animals my entire life. I've raised 3 dogs in the past and currently own qthat absolutely love other animals and people! I also have 3 cats that are all extremely friendly and love new things. I currently work at an animal shelter working with dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have experience with friendly animals, reactive animals, and shy animals. I'm very skilled at giving medications as I have to do it daily for my job. My schedule is very flexible and I'm also good in medical cases with animals. I don't have a degree in veterinary sciences, but work with strange cases daily and have a close connection with vet techs. I'm excited to open my heart to new animals! I currently work part time in the mornings and can stop in before my shift to do a check in, potty breaks, and feeding. Once I'm off in the afternoon, I can do more check-ins and walks. In the afternoons, I can stick around longer to spend more time with them. I have experience with positive reinforcement and am also okay with using dog crates if the need is there. I'm experienced with different types of harnesses and collars as well and have worked with dogs with many different allergies.

About: I love dogs and have always had them in my home. I have previously watched and cared for my neighbor's dog and an elderly dog. I would love to be able to care for and be a pal for your animals! I am currently working part time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility but am available to care for and spend quality time with your pups! I have always had dogs in my home.

I believe dogs are very special. I am willing to do many activities with your dog to give you peace of mind while away! I’m currently unemployed and on Disability for a genetic, chronic illness. I am healthy, willing and able to be with your dog! I am very flexible but do have to work on some local medical appointments. I prefer to watch or care for your dog in your home. My dog can get territorial in my home & do not want to put either dog in that position. I also prefer to work in a home without cigarette smoke in it.

About: Hi there! My name is Grace, it’s nice to meet you! I’d love the chance to get to know you and your pet, and hope that I can help you with your pet care needs! I’ve loved any and animals my whole life, and grew up with cats of all temperaments as well as both large and small dogs. I've also been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a teenager, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and quirks! I’m also experienced with administering medications to both cats and dogs, including shots, and am comfortable with complex routines. I know that being away from their best friends can be stressful for pets, and I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medication, or giving them space when they need it, you can trust that I will take care of your pet as if they were my own! Not only is it my goal to make sure your pets feel cared for and loved while you're away, I also want you to have peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe and cared for! I'll keep you updated with as many photos, videos, and status updates as you like! Feel free to reach out with any questions, let’s chat! :) My work schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in-visits throughout the week. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends for visits. I’m also available for house sitting any day of the week, including weekends. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand that trust is a big part of inviting someone into your home, so I'll keep your space clean and tidy, lock doors and windows, and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a freshman in high school. I have 5 of my own dogs which is a lot of work but has helped grow my experience. I’m a college student working part time and majority of my classes are online. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands if you need me to check in or stay over. I make sure your dog is safe and happy while also following the list of instructions given by you. If you need me to stay over I can maintain a clean environment

About: I've taken care of my own and other pets for 10-15 years. I am able to deliver medication and I've taken care of senior dogs many times as well. I'm working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make almost any routine fit! I also stay very active so any animals that are active and need walking is fun for me! I can easily crate animals if needed. In a client's home, I can walk or drive animals to nearby places to allow them to exercise if preferred!

About: I’ve interacted with all types of animals and shadowed at veterinary clinics since I was a child. In the past few years, I’ve startedi helping pet sit for friends and family for periods ranging from a couple of days to a few weeks. I work 8:30-5 M-F, but have an hour lunch everyday. I have availability and reliable transportation before and after work hours as well. I make sure to follow owner preferences and safety precautions. This can mean making sure a dog stays away from other animals during walks, or making sure there is no trash around the house that the pet could easily get into.

About: Hi! I'm Jamie! I work full-time as a hairstylist, but I've always loved animals and wanted a fun way to spend more time outside while helping busy pet parents. I have experience caring for my family's dogs and have loved getting to know each of their different personalities. My parents have a small/medium-sized dog who I've watched while they've been out of town, including caring for him for a full week on my own. I also regularly spend time with my sister's two larger dogs on weekends, letting them out, playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and of course getting in plenty of cuddles! I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I'll always send photo updates and let you know how your pup did after every visit! I'd love the chance to meet you and your furry best friend! I work fulltime as a hairstylist, so I plan my pet care around my work schedule and only accept bookings that I can give my full attention to. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits during my available days and times, including evenings and weekends. I'm dependable and will always make sure I have enough time in my schedule to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and individual needs are always my top priority. Before each booking, I'll ask questions about your pet's personality, routine, training, leash behavior, reactivity, triggers, and how they interact with other dogs, cats, and people. I want to understand what makes your pet comfortable and what situations I should be aware of before we head out. For walks, I'll follow your instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, and walking routines and will keep your pet supervised and secure at all times. I'll never let a dog off leash unless you've specifically asked me to and we're in an appropriate, safe area. For drop in visits, I'll follow your instructions for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm also comfortable giving oral medications such as pills when clear instructions are provided. I'll make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are securely closed before leaving. I know every pet is different, so I don't assume that one approach works for every dog. I'll take the time to learn your pet's needs and follow the routines and boundaries you've established for them. I'll also send photos and an update after each visit so you know how your pup is doing!

About: I am a medical student. I have put all of my efforts towards caring for others and their loved ones. My pet care experience first started when my family got a red-fox laboratory puppy seven years ago. It was a dream come true, something my sister and I had waited for many years. While Bhima, our puppy, was just a bundle of fun, he came with a load of responsibilities. From grooming to bathing to brushing to walking, a lot of the responsibility relied heavily on my sister and I. I hope to care for my rover pets with the same attention to detail, love, and affection, as I have been caring for Bhima over the last four years. I am very active, flexible, and outgoing. I’d love to hear from you and get to know you and your pet! I am available for dog walks during the evenings and weekends! I am flexible based on the needs of the pet, but will need to work around my class schedule! Your pet would be accompanied by my own in my home. I make sure that the environment the pet stays in is safe and comfortable for the pet, and am willing to accommodate any changes that will make the pet more comfortable. I also have a yard that the pet can play in in addition to any walks that I will take the pet on.

About: I've had dogs of my own my whole life. I have cared for a variety of dogs such as administering to my neighbors diabetic dog to caring for my own 100 pound doberman pincher. I am also a certified nurses assistant which as taught me immense skills in caretaking and focusing on the health and wellness of others; skills in which carry over to animal caretaking!! I'm currently working part time and have a pretty flexible schedule!!! My schedule is super easy to work with and I am willing to work around your schedules as well! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully and provide attentive, reliable care. Whether we're going for walks, playing, or relaxing at home, you can trust that your dog will be treated with the same love, patience, and respect that I would give my own.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, helped raise two puppies. I volunteered at a puppy shelter! I am good with high energy and senior dogs. Over the summer I work from 8:00-12:30 am so before and after that I am completely free! Can care for the pet mornings, afternoon and nights! I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for a dog even for a short amount of time. And will make sure the animal is safe and protected within my care.

About: I love meeting and hanging out with pets. I’ve always wanted a dog growing up but never got one. However, my sister has now gotten her own pup, and I’m the happiest aunt! Would be a lovely break during the day! Also, I prefer notice in advance, but sometimes my calendar has gaps and could possibly accept day of :) I can check their water and food. I can open/close shades, doors, etc. If they watch TV, I can make sure it’s playing or change it, etc. They can get play time!

“Fawn has been amazing!”
