Dog Walking Jefferson Park

About: Just as no two people are alike, every animal needs tailored care and attention. Whether your pet is a puppy needing an active walk or a senior cat who prefers quiet companionship, my goal is to create a reliable environment where they feel safe and seen. I operate with a flexible daily schedule, making me available for consistent midday walks, last minute drop ins, or multi-visit vacation requests here in the LoHi/Highland area. I treat the process of meeting an animal for the first time with immense respect. During our initial meet & greet, I focus on establishing a baseline they can trust. My Experience: • Medical Care: Competent in administering various types of medications (oral, topical, etc). • All-Weather Walks: Ready to provide structured, safe exercise around your local neighborhood or parks. • Basic Grooming: Happy to assist with brushing, bathing, or wiping down paws. • Cats & Dogs: Grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of their boundaries and body language. I look forward to meeting you and your pet to build a lasting routine they can count on. I have a flexible schedule and can visit your home during the day or night. Let me know what you need, and we can work something out. My priority is to maintain a secure environment by respecting your household rules and adhering to your specific instructions. I actively monitor your pet’s emotional cues and body language, finding natural moments to gain their trust, whether through play or calm moments. For pets requiring extra attention, such as aging seniors, anxious rescues, or pets recovering from illness, I ensure their care is meticulous and empathetic. I accommodate slow walks, frequent bathroom breaks, and specific medication schedules. As a lifelong pet owner, I have navigated unexpected medical emergencies with both my own and other people's animals. In these moments, I act urgently, logically, and calmly. My Safety Commitments: • Door Darting: I always block the door frame with my body when entering or exiting to prevent door darting. • Gear Checks: I verify that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted and secure before stepping outside. • Distraction-Free Walking: My phone is only used to log your Rover Card or take photos; my eyes remain on your dog and the surrounding environment. • Local Vet: I will verify your preferred vet location during our initial meet & greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and establishing a routine both of you can count on.

“Lauren is absolutely amazing. My two dogs are at very different stages of life—one is 12 years old and the other is only 12 weeks old—and she is incredibly patient and attentive with both of them. She understands their different needs and gives each one the love and care they deserve. Lauren is always prompt, communicates well, and gives me complete peace of mind when I'm away. It's clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. I couldn't recommend her more highly and will continue to hire her whenever I need pet care. ❤️🐾”

“100% the best dog walker I could ever ask for!! He was always on time, communicative and let me know if anything was awry. If you are looking for an amazing dog walker who is considerate to the pups on their walks, he is the one!! Thank you so much for taking care Cy and Fen!”

About: I’ve had pets throughout my entire life. As a child I would care for my own pets as well if friends and family’s pets. As an adult I now have three pets of my own and one with my boyfriend. Currently I work as a lead/manager at a doggie daycare/boarding facility. My day to day at work includes administering medications, walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats. Playing with dogs/cats is one of my favorite things to do. Whether it’s taking them for a walk or playing with their favorite toys. If your pet(s) need any type of medication, I have experience administering medications to a multitude of different dogs.

“Haley is great! My dog can be a bit scared of new people and she took time to meet with him before. She walked him and sent pictures and it looks like they had a great day! Highly recommend!”

“Samantha took great care of Poppy and we really appreciate her coming over and walking poppy, letting her run around outside and giving her treats”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and care to what makes your pet happiest. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! Plus, you can absolutely expect plenty of updates and cute pictures while they’re with me! And treats if allowed of course :) BACKGROUND CHECK FRIENDLY I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or house sitting. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine as much as possible. I can always work on the go and will communicate my meeting schedule with you, so you know exactly what periods of the day I’ll need to be focused on work. Outside of those times, my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding, walking, and potty routine consistent, and make sure they’re comfortable in my care. I live in an apartment, so pets staying with me will get regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. I take this more seriously than anything! Your pet will become part of my family and I will always put their needs and safety first. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly.

“Jackson was great with the dogs and did everything I requested and more! He was also able to make my last-minute walking request work with his schedule. Would recommend!”

“Alexis comes to hang out with and walk my 3 month old pup, who can definitely be a handful! She is communicative, consistent, and absolutely wonderful with him. I feel completely comfortable trusting her with my puppy and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.”

“Crystal took excellent care of our 11 week old puppy, helping us as we needed a walker last minute. She went above and beyond to meet our pups who were naturally drawn to Crystal. She is an excellent communicator, reliable, and incredibly friendly with our dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend Crystal’s services for anyone looking for a trustworthy individual who will take superb care of your pet.”

About: Hi, I’m Natalie! I love animals and have always been my friends’ and neighbors’ go-to petsitter. I hope to have another dog of my own when the time is right, but in the meantime I have lots of love and attention to give to your pet ◡̈ I have experience working with dogs of all temperaments, and will always do my best to meet their needs accordingly. I am as happy to go on a leisurely walk with a mellow dog as I am to tire out a dog with endless energy. I am very respectful and considerate of other people’s homes. Having had pets of my own, I understand what it’s like to be away from them and always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I also love sending pictures and videos to clients so they can feel at peace knowing their pets are safe and happy :)
