Dog Walking Hyde Park

“Both my cat and dog loved Morgan and were beaming when I got home from vacation! Morgan is communicative and curious and I really appreciate her approach to animals. Anyone is lucky to have her care for their pets :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life, growing up I was always the one to help with all the animals. Started with the neighbors dogs, then I would ride my bike to a house in the neighborhood and look after their two dogs. Now I regularly cat sit for a coworker and am the go to whenever anyone needs help with pets. I have lots of experience with senior dogs, but am willing and able to take care of all ages and sizes. My job schedule is not the most consistent, but typically 9-5 on weekdays, but sometimes I’ll be done earlier or have a long break in the middle, but I always have lunch and I would be able to go back for a potty break then. And weekends are always different, but I would be gone for shorter periods of time. Walks would be in the evening during the week and then we could work out a time in the morning or evening on the weekends. More than happy to keep your baby company if you are out of town and take care of whatever they need. I’m also willing to stay over and house sit if that is needed, but can also just do visits if that’s preferred. If you’re in town, but in a busy phase of life I would be able to take your dog on long walks, do enrichment activities, or take them to a dog park.

“Megan has been awesome walking with our excitable GSD! She is prompt, communicative, and friendly. I love the detailed updates and photos she shares on her walks and trust her to handle our big pup.”

“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”

“Libby is a great sitter! She takes my dog on neighborhood walks or if time and weather permit, adventures to a nearby walking path. She's easy to communicate with and has made me feel at ease while I'm at work! Thanks, libby”

About: Hi there! My name is Emily, and I provide compassionate, structured, and experienced pet care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. With a PhD in biology and 4 years of experience working as a zoo scientist, I bring a deep, professional understanding of animal behavior, physiology, and welfare to my work. Whether handling high energy puppy play, gentle support for a senior, or a calm environment for a nervous pet, I ensure every animal receives safe and informed care. My Hands-On Experience and Specialty Care: Much of my practical day to day experience comes from loving and caring for my two German Shepherds, but I am equally comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small critters. Senior and Special Needs Care: I spent years managing complex medical conditions, including senior care and seizure monitoring for my beloved Shepherd before she passed. I am extremely comfortable and with administering oral medications on schedule, maintaining routines for your pets, and providing extra love, patience, and care. Reactivity and Training Continuity: I currently care for my 100lb White German Shepherd, who deals with extreme anxiety and reactivity toward other animals. Because I regularly work alongside professional trainers to manage his behavior, I have extensive practice handling reactive dogs safely on walks using positive reinforcement and loose leash training techniques. I will happily maintain whatever training boundaries or protocols you have in place. Scientific Expertise Across Species: My background in biology and zoological research gives me a unique comfort level with specialized species like reptiles and birds, along with an intuitive eye for subtle signs of stress or illness. What You Can Expect: Safety First Walks-Calmer, structured walks using proper techniques to safely guide dogs that struggle with leash reactivity. Routine and Medication Precision-Strict adherence to your pet’s feeding schedules, medication doses, and training plans. Peace of Mind-Regular updates and photos so you always know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can help! Feel free to reach out to set up a Meet and Greet. I am currently unemployed due to federal funding cuts. :( Until I find my dream job in wildlife conservation, I will have endless time to dedicate to your pets. In your home, I respect your space, secure all entry points, and adhere to your pet’s routine. With extensive experience handling senior pets with medical needs and reactive dogs, safety during walks and care is paramount. I practice hyper-vigilance, avoid off-leash areas, monitor for subtle signs of stress, and use positive reinforcement to keep walks calm. Whether caring for dogs, cats, birds, or reptiles, I follow all medical and training instructions to the letter and provide regular updates, so you always have full peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds - I have experience in dog-walking, dog and cat sitting and basic care. I treat them as if they’re my own by giving them all the attention they need. They are my top priority when they’re in my care! I am available for dog-walking most late afternoons. I can do 30 or 60 minutes depending on your needs! I have experience with all kinds of leashes. I will create an environment for your pet that will make them feel safe! Whether it’s for a walk or for a visit, they will feel comfortable and at ease.

“Bear loved Alison! He wouldn't go on walks at first but she worked with him and now he looks forward to his walks every day! I would definitely use her again.”

About: I grew up on a farm with pitbulls and cats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments and have experience in giving them plenty of love and attention! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you with your needs! I’m available for overnight boarding all nights but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only available after 530. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor playtime. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed, from feeding and walks to cuddle time and rest. I also keep a close eye on them during outdoor activities to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and secure.

“Sara was fantastic! She was punctual and treated Millie with the upmost respect. Sara gave great updates throughout the walk and captured some stunning photos. I would highly recommend Sara for any of your pet needs!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently take care of my parents dog when needed, my best friends new puppy, and have prior experience with senior dog I used to care for. I work fully remote job so I have flexibility throughout the day to care for a dog as well as fenced area to let dog out in. It is just myself in a single family home with a fenced in back yard for all dog sitting needs. I also have a car and easily commute for any in-home calls and jobs.

“Kelsey was wonderful took great care of our Howlett! We’ve used her services several times and she does an outstanding job. We will always be customers of her and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. With more than 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I've been surrounded by pets since I was a child. In fact, my very first job was walking neighborhood dogs when I was in middle school—and my love for caring for animals has only grown since then. I've raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood, giving me firsthand experience with house training, socialization, leash training, and the patience and consistency puppies need to thrive. My dogs are truly part of our family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for senior pets who require daily medications, as well as rescue dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, and a calm approach due to anxiety or special feeding routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for many other animals over the years, including birds, fish, hamsters, turtles, frogs, lizards, and hermit crabs. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets and am always happy to learn about their individual needs. In my full-time career, I work in an elementary school, so I have summers off and additional some flexibility throughout the year (outside of carpooling to my kid’s sports 😉). That allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and plenty of time, love, and companionship for your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away. My schedule is very flexible this summer! Since I work at an elementary school during the school year, I have the summer months off and am available throughout the day to care for your pets. Aside from occasionally carpooling my son to camp/sports, my schedule is wide open, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, companionship, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule to provide dependable, attentive care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I prefer caring for dogs in their own home whenever possible, where they can remain in a familiar, comfortable environment and maintain their normal routine. I understand that changes can be stressful for some pets, and I strive to make your time away as calm and worry-free as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to work around your dog's individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and favorite activities. I also welcome the opportunity to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and you can feel completely confident that they'll be in caring, capable hands.

“This was our first time having someone walk the dogs, and Breanna was wonderful! She sent pictures, updates and communicated well throughout. Using her again soon!!”

About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.

“On short notice Stephanie was able to walk my dog (Megan) several days in a row. She was great with Megan & they bonded immediately. Stephanie was comfortable in caring for Megan.. Megan had so much fun walking with Stephanie that I have already scheduled several walking dates with Stephanie in September.”

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could walk. Grew up walking stuffed animals around on a leash just to prove to my parents that I was responsible enough to own one myself. I had two dogs that both lived to 16 so my track record is good I am currently working from home three to four days a week and that allows for me to be flexible with my timing. I can leave the house, let a dog out or just give him/her some extra belly rubs I have a fenced in yard that allows your fur baby to run around freely, but within the home I love to snuggle. Your pets are allowed on furniture and in beds at this household, as long as it’s okay with you.
