Dog Walking Hopkins

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week.my husband stays at home full time. I have a very flexible schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.

As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have a cat named Cheesecake, and I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll always provide plenty of love and attention, follow your pet’s routine, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m self-employed, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide pet care throughout the day.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment while following your pet’s routine and care instructions closely.

About: I grew up around a lot of neighborhood dogs. Over the years I have fostered many dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. Giving them home life structure and basic obedience. The last couple years I've done a lot of dog sitting for family and friends! I work from home full time and am able to watch your dog all day and night! I'm usually busy on the weekends but will keep my calendar updated in case I'm in town and available. I have a large fenced in backyard, my house is a three bedroom, stand alone house. It is in a very dog friendly neighborhood! It is just my fiancée and I living in our house. We allow dogs on our living room furniture but not on our bed.

“Dog came back tired out. Will rebook. 👍”

About: I've spent years working with animals through veterinary clinics and pet care, which has given me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, and animals that may be anxious or nervous around new people. Through my experience, I've learned how to read animal behavior and use calm, low-stress handling techniques to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that fits their individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, or simply having company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands I work part-time and have a flexible schedule that varies from week to week, allowing me to accommodate pet care throughout my day. I keep my availability updated and make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. Whether it's walks or drop-in visit, I prioritize providing reliable, consistent care and making sure each pet gets the attention and time they deserve. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. For walks, I make sure dogs get appropriate exercise, enrichment, and plenty of opportunities to explore safely at their own pace. During drop-in visits, I spend quality time with each pet through play, companionship, and attention tailored to their personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their preferences, routines, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away. My goal is to make each visit a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Being in the Army with unpredictable hours is tough, but she truly puts my mind at ease knowing my baby is getting the care and attention he needs when I can’t be there. I’m so thankful for her!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.

“Gracie was a phenomenal sitter! Gracie was a pleasure to work with. She was great with communicating and reliable. She did such an excellent job taking care of my Dasher that I am hoping to get her again for the future.”

About: Originally from North Italy I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my role as a K9 Search and Rescue Coordinator in Germany before moving here not long ago, where I trained and handled dogs in obedience, tracking, and real-world scenarios. This experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive while ensuring each dog’s safety and well-being. I’m currently studying Veterinary Medicine, which allows me to better understand animal health, behavior, and care. With over 18 years of experience in customer service and working with people, I bring strong communication, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I treat every dog like family and always follow their routine closely to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, and French, making communication easy for a wide range of pet parents. I offer reliable weekday availability focused on dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m building pet care as my full-time focus, which allows me to provide consistent, on-time care Monday through Friday. I’m available for daily walks, feeding visits, and check-ins, and I’m happy to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re at work or away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my experience in K9 search and rescue and my ongoing studies in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and responsive in any situation. I understand animal behavior and how to provide safe, structured, and stress-free care in your home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. During walks and visits, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. My goal is to keep your pet happy and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I provide updates and photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.

About: My family and I are trained as a foster parent through Pawmetto lifeline but I am currently taking a small break or else I will end up with 20 dogs! I have been around animals my whole life and feel that a home is not complete without them. I am very comfortable with adjusting my life to their routines and active training. I DO REQUIRE PROOF OF FLEA, TICK, & HEARTWORM MEDICATION *Note: I will accept exclusive boarding (just your dog) if booked far enough in advance for an additional rate. Your pet would do perfect with me! I am a full-time online students and mama. This leaves me with open available and perfect for the pets who struggle with separation anxiety. Our days consist of some classes then walks when the weather is nice, zoomies in our large shaded backyard, car rides, and of course some much-needed nap time! I have a house where dogs ARE allowed on the couch and bed, a big fenced yard, and a warm cement patio for basking in the sun. Plus various shaded areas, on hot days I do limit out time side to prevent over heating. I have various rooms in my house to section off if the fur-baby needs some "me time". I am trained in the unlikely event of a dog fight to safely separate the dogs.

About: I have been pet sitting and doing over night stays for friends, family, and now rover for around 5 years! I have also volunteered at PAALs service training dog shelter while at school! I have an elder miniature schnauzer and a cat at home. :) I am currently a senior in college, but I am available all summer! I am available for stop ins as well as over night stays. I care for pets in other peoples homes depending on the owners needs! I am able to hang out and play with the dog at home, stay overnight, and/or take them on walks!

“Jennifer was great!”

About: I have taken care of high energy and working dogs for years. I grew up with hunting dogs and have a working dog myself. Caring for animals in my spare time is something I enjoy and cannot get enough of! I work full time, however mornings, lunch breaks, and nights are devoted to my animals and my weekends are devoted to exploring new places with my favorite companion. I have a 3 year old Belgian Malinois who will keep your pet company and have ample space and a wonderful park to make sure your pet gets their needed exercise.

About: I absolutely love dogs. I really believe that they are the closest animals to being human. I have taken care of dogs for my family members and neighbors for about 6 years now. Whenever someone needed a weekend getaway. My dream dog is a poodle but they are pretty pricey. I am hoping someday someone's willing to gift me one. I'm currently working my own schedule on different job opportunities similar to this one just inform me at least 2 days ahead and I'm willing to provide. I have a fenced in yard. I have an empty room if your dog likes to be alone for naps or quiet time. Im willing to crate your pet if needed.

About: I was the little girl who’d find abandoned eggs to hatch in my incubator, make a tadpole sanctuary in my portable aquarium, nurse birds with broken wings in shoeboxes, and carry lost kittens home to try to keep them. They’ve never been "just animals" to me—I’ve always connected to creatures in a way that is oftentimes hard with people. With such high regard for animals and pets, I treat every Rover booking as though I am caring for someone's child. I truly enjoy this experience, finding myself more and more grateful for cats' and dogs' ability to heal us, both mentally and physically. I am in my last year of medical school, so I treasure all opportunities for the stress relief that animals provide. In choosing a pet sitter, I hope my medical background can also provide you with some peace of mind while you are away from home. Whether your pet craves affection or has high energy, I strive to provide the care they deserve. My goal is to meet your pet's desires, whatever they may be—cuddling up to watch a movie, playing fetch to burn off some energy, or exploring a new area on a walk. Regarding seniors, I have personal experience with my elderly pet who required special medications and assistance. I find fulfillment in giving unconditional love to these pets during their golden years. I hope to have conveyed my dedication, dependability, and compassion as an animal lover. I would be honored to take care of your pet(s). If you feel I would be a good fit, please reach out with any questions. Hope to hear from you soon! I am currently on summer break, so I have a relatively open schedule other than studying for a board exam. However, I need more dedicated study breaks with animals! I am great at following any instructions you may have. I am very clean, organized, and conscientious of your pets’ and home’s general well-being. I am always conscientious about the physical and emotional boundaries of animals. I am skilled at reading both dog and cat body language. I don’t push them if they’re giving signs to back off. I actively search for choking hazards, mitigate escape risks like open doors or loose harnesses, and frequently monitor safety on walks. I ensure that your home is always locked and that the yard/fencing is secure while dogs are outside. I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being.

About: I have a Pekingese who is almost 20 years old and a Great Dane that is almost 9! Let me love your animals like they are my own ❤️ I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I will send all the pictures/videos you want of your furbaby(s). Work entirely remote and am home with my babies all day. I am entirely flexible to meet the needs of any client circumstance. How can I help? I have a fully fenced in backyard but am always outside with the pups playing. If it’s a rainy day, we have plenty of room inside for shenanigans.
