Dog Walking Independence

“Janet was awesome with our senior pooch and very flexible. She provided photos on the walk and details of the visit. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future walks.”

“Joanna is amazing!!!! This was my first time using a dog walking service and I was instantly comfortable with her. She went above and beyond in taking care of my girl! A great communicator with updates, scheduling, and pics/reports of my dog's behavior. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to be responsible, loving, and affectionate toward your "kid", whether a pup or senior dog.”

About: Hi! I’m Mary, a lifelong animal lover who understands just how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m an active, responsible professional with a flexible schedule and plenty of experience caring for dogs, including small breeds and senior dogs that may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. As a longtime fitness professional, walking is already a big part of my lifestyle, so I’m happy to accommodate everything from a leisurely neighborhood stroll to a longer, more energetic walk depending on your dog’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my active daily routine! I’m primarily available in the afternoons through early evenings for dog walks and drop-in visits. This makes me a great option for midday potty breaks, afternoon walks, after-work check-ins, or dinner-time visits. What you can expect from me: Dependable and punctual visits Dog walks tailored to your pet’s age and energy level Drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks and companionship Extra patience and attention for senior dogs Plenty of affection and playtime Photos and updates during visits Careful attention to your instructions and your pet’s normal routine Respect for your home and property I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet in someone else’s care. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your dog is being treated with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own.

About: I intentionally take one dog, or one dog family, at a time because I want every pup staying with me to receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. They’re family, and you want to know they’re not just being watched. You want to know they’re being cared for, and loved. That’s exactly what I try to provide. Your dog gets to stay in a comfortable home environment, become part of our routine, and receive plenty of individual attention instead of being one of several dogs competing for a sitter’s time. One of the things I especially love about caring for dogs is getting to know what makes each individual dog comfortable and happy. I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including senior dogs, so I understand that not every pup needs the same kind of care. Some dogs want to play all day, while others are happiest curled up beside you. Some need extra patience and reassurance, while others just want to know when dinner is coming. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs who need a little extra help, including following feeding routines, administering oral medications, and keeping up with individual care instructions. If your dog has medication, supplements, mobility limitations, a specific feeding schedule, anxiety, or simply needs a little more patience and attention, I’m happy to work with their normal routine. My goal is to make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. Because I keep boarding intentionally small, I can give your dog the individual attention that can be difficult to provide in a busy boarding environment. Depending on your dog’s personality and routine, their stay may include: One on one attention and companionship Couch cuddles and cozy naps Playtime and enrichment Supervised outdoor time Lots of affection and reassurance Meals, treats, and supplements according to their normal routine Medication administration when needed Comfortable sleeping arrangements Regular photos and updates for you I’m happy to follow the routines you already have at home. The more I know about your dog, the better I can care for them. Of course, no stay at our house would be complete without Kenobi, my 4 year old yellow Lab and resident Buddy. Kenobi is goofy, affectionate, laid back, and has yet to meet a dog he doesn’t like. He’s always excited to make a new friend and loves having another dog around. I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and have cared for dogs since I was young. My dogs have been an incredibly important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me that dogs aren’t just pets. They each have their own personalities, needs, routines, and ways of communicating. My goal isn’t simply to give your dog somewhere to stay. I want them to feel like they’re spending a little time at their second home. I am currently working part-time for a real estate agency as an admin. I can work from home or in the office so my schedule is flexible. My dog is on a routine from walks to feedings and I do my best to stick to it everyday. I will always be prompt and timely to make sure your pets stay on schedule as well.

About: I’ve taken care of a German Shepherd named Kylo for the past 2 years. I recently stopped due to the owner being able to stay home with him full time. I used to house/dog sit, walk, and help with general care including baths, nail trimming, and very very basic trims. I work 3rd shift Monday-Friday. So I will be available between noon-6:00 PM on those days. I am available between 9AM-5PM on Saturday’s and 9AM-2:00PM on Sundays. I will care in anyway needed. I can provide companion, physical and mental stimulation to your dog, make sure they are fed and hydrated, walked and taken to go potty, along with any other basic task you may want complete.

“Yuriria was on time and great with walking Daphne, I hope she can walk her again soon!”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful with Molly! She was so sweet, patient, and kind, and I could tell she genuinely cared about making sure Molly was comfortable and happy. Communication was great, she was reliable, and I felt completely at ease knowing Molly was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet. Thank you so much!”

About: My family adopted our first dog when I was 7-years old! It was my responsibility to pick up after the dog and take her on long, long walks. As she got older and I moved out, I would often return home to take care of her while my father was traveling for work. I got used to late night potty outings and helping her up the steps. My goal is to make sure every dog feels loved and cared for. I currently work part-time, so I have time on my hands and I would love to spend more of the free time with animals. I have two wonderful cats (a senior lady and a young lady) that I come home to. Currently, I’m available in the mornings Saturday-Tuesday and Friday, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays to look after your fur babies. I can also do late evenings after 8:30 Tuesday, Friday-Saturday. I have two litter boxes that are cleaned daily in my home. A plethora of cat toys, several different cat beds that my cats love to rotate around. Our fence is unfortunately broken, but I’m always happy to walk to the park nearby for playtime with your pets as needed.

About: Ever since I was in middle school, I have volunteered at the food bank, senior homes, elementary schools, preschools, and taking care of pets. I am well-versed in handling numerous conflicts. I am currently a new grad, whose job is summer based and am looking to be busy during the winter and spring months. I will be picking up subbing soon, but that is earlier in the day. I am comfortable with caring for pets however their family see fit. It is always important to keep pets in a routine and to follow instructions. I have no issues with implementing them.

About: I'm great with dogs and cats. I'm not afraid to administer meds to seniors. I provide a loving home to my 2 cats and small dog I'm currently self-employed part-time and can be flexible. I have two cats and one dog. Happy to try to work around your schedule as needed. I provide a safe and loving environment to my pets. I can administer meds as needed. I prefer to sit in your home as needed.

About: I am a big dog lover. I have had plenty of all different breeds and have loved them all. I live in an apartment and have green space and easy access to long walks. I am located in midtown in Omaha so the access to dog parks and the outdoors is right at my finger tips. I am a big lover and will spend plenty of time showing affection to your dog the love and care they deserve. I also have gone to dog obedience classes prior so I have a good understanding of how to control and not control dogs to the best of my ability and theirs. Because I am at school for the year and my dogs are at my home with my family I will give my all to treat your dogs how I treat my own. I work part time currently so I have a ton of time to take care of your pup. House sitting, walks, check ins, you name it! I care with everything I can. I treat the dog as if it is my own and care unconditionally for the sweet little pup! :)

“James is awesome! He was so great with my doggo & even helped with a knocked over vase. He left a great report & I so appreciate him walking in the heat!”

“I am amazed with the energy and zeal that Alexandrea demonstrates with regards to her genuine desire to walk and spend time with my Luz Luna. Her positive vibe is not only contagious with human beings, but conveyed to my boxer in a way that exudes a wonderful bond, forged in such a short time. I hope she continues to be available to hike with my beautiful little girl.”
