Dog Walking Hillsdale

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ll go above and beyond for animals. I’m patient, strong, caring, and I understand the attention that each animal needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and my fur babies are family. I understand the stress of leaving your animals so I hope to gain the trust of you and your animals! I work from home so I have the flexibility of being with your pets for most of the day. I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my cat is as sassy as a dog. I have a condo with a large grassy area for walks and I take my own dogs on a 3 mile walk around the house.

“I’ve booked Loren for a few walks and a game of fetch for my dog. She has great communication and is very responsive. I appreciate her professionalism and reliability. She has shown that I can count on her. Kona has a blast! Thanks Loren!”

“Trinity is amazing with dogs! She walked both my dogs, two very different walkers, and they were giving her doggie kisses before she left. Would highly recommend!”

I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for.

I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 7 years old. I’ve owned or have pet sat for all ages, sizes, and breeds. From puppies, to 15 year old doggos, I’ve got your back! I am currently a student, so making a couple of pup friends sounds like a great way to spend time outside, get active, and be helpful! I have a fenced yard and two cats. I always walk dogs on a leash, on the sidewalk, in well lit, pet-friendly/safe areas. I have multiple dog parks nearby that I would be open to taking your dog to (upon request only).

“I can always count on Cynthia to take the best care of my dog!”

About: I’ve had a guinea pig, a bunny, and 2 dogs. I’ve always been an animal person. And I help my friends out by taking care of there pets. It depends on the my work day sense I do freelance contracting for production work. But I would have to what day you would want to book me for and times. It depends on how friendly the animal is and how many days I am pet sitting for. But I will feed, bathe, play and be around to watch what they do.

“Audrey has been walking and caring for our little JRT, Fio. She is very flexible with our schedule and willing to take on more days at a moment's notice.”

About: For the past 14 years, my world revolved around my dog, Zuri. Sadly, she passed away in April, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog into my life just yet, I realized how much I miss spending time with them. Caring for dogs has never felt like work to me. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and deeply attuned to animals. I tend to notice the little things; when a dog needs a slower pace, extra reassurance, more water, a sniff break, or simply someone calm to help them feel safe. Zuri taught me that every walk is the highlight of a dog’s day, not just another task to check off a list. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll care for them with the same love, presence, and respect I gave my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely loved while we’re together. I’m also available for boarding and overnight care, either in my home or yours. I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications when needed, and understanding that every dog has their own personality, pace, and emotional needs. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Walking has been an important part of my own life for years, and after losing my beloved dog of 14 years a few months ago, spending time with dogs has become something that brings me joy and healing. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision because I know what it’s feels like to love a dog like family. I always prioritize safety by following your dog’s routine, using secure leash handling, paying close attention to their body language, and adapting to their individual personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I've grown up around animals and can confidently care for any pet. I volunteer at my local Humane Society, walking multiple dogs daily—I'm ready for walks of any length! I also have experience with house-sitting and helping dogs socialize. I’m very patient on walks and love working on leash training, always taking the time to help each dog feel comfortable, confident, and safe. I’m currently working part time during the week (M/W/F/Sa). My Sundays are completely free, please contact me about specific times during the week! I’m not interested in taking care of pets at my home, however I have no problem with commuting and taking care of your pets to meet whatever requirements they need.

About: Here to keep your pets company and provide exceptional care so you can rest easy! I'm confident in my ability to care for your pets specific needs whether you have a puppy with a lot of energy that requires more activity, or an older pup with a grey beard who may need assistance with doggy meds, I'm here to help! I'm a wedding planner who works remotely part-time so I am very available and flexible towards your scheduling needs! Just let me know what you need and I will make it happen :) My number one priority is always the safety and wellbeing of your pets. I will make myself aware of your pets needs and any possible hazards to watch out for.

“Mackenzie was very nice. She had no problem coming in and getting to know Nikko. He’s a puppy so his energy is high and she did great with him. I’d recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable to walk your dog.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life and have always enjoyed the companionship and care that comes with having pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive, and loving care. I also regularly care for my dad’s small dog when he is out of town, including walks, feeding, companionship, and making sure she feels safe and comfortable. I would treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, and I am available Monday through Wednesday before 5:00 PM. I have a flexible daytime schedule and enjoy being able to provide reliable, attentive care, including walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. I understand that caring for a pet also means being respectful of their home. I will treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping things clean and orderly, following any instructions provided, and making sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing both their pets and their home are in responsible, trustworthy hands.

About: I took care of my childhood dog from age 8-18. I then went off to college and once I got back, I started working for precious pet care, in which I was dog walking and house sitting everyday. I really cherish those years and I can’t wait to meet your precious animals! I have completely open availability right now as I work from home on a few online businesses. So I am very flexible when it comes to your scheduling needs. In my clients homes, I am very diligent and aware at all times. I am careful with doors and fences, and follow all rules given to me. I never let the animals out of my sight, and keep a calm demeanor in any situation.

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

“Rory is an excellent caretaker for our 100-pound puppy. He is reliable, on-time, has high availability, is very kind and had loads of patience. Our 15-month old giant breed is in a boundary pushing phase. It takes someone incredibly attuned to dogs, physically strong, but firm to keep him on his best behavior through these tough pre-teen months. Rory handled him beautifully from the start. Highly recommend!”
