Dog Walking Johnson

About: Hi! I'm Mackenzie, a passionate animal lover with dog and cat experience. I have worked professionally with dogs at a doggy daycare, as well as cared for my family’s much-loved special needs labrador for many years. I’m also a cat parent and I have experience watching other people’s cats since I was young. I love all pets, large or small, old or young (I have a soft spot for little senior pets), and I’d be honored to spend time with yours! I have flexibility with my schedule. I’m typically unavailable Tuesdays from 1-4pm. I try my best to keep my calendar updated but feel free to ask if you have any questions! I’m meticulous with instructions, and will be sure to follow your pet’s routines so they feel as at ease as possible while you’re away. I want you to feel at ease as well so I always make sure to have a safety plan in case of emergency.

About: I am certified in pet care with experience working at a dog boarding facility, volunteering at animal shelters, and caring for my own pets. I love spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes! I'm currently a college student with plenty of free time in between classes to check up on your pets. Whether it be taking your pup on a walk or spending the night with them I definitely have the flexibility to do so. I can cater my services to the client's needs. As mentioned, I have experience at a dog boarding facility and know all the tips and tricks of how to crate a dog, feed a picky eater, etc.

“Above and beyond! Thanks.”

About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.

“Barbara is great with Alphie and you can tell she loves dogs and has a very gentle soul. She’s very responsive and will take very good care of your furry loved ones!”

“Merritt is extremely professional and very kind and I can tell loves animals. He arrived with water and had a plan for my dog's walk and asked great questions about her too. She was so happy to greet him and had a big smile on her face when she came home. My dog loves him. We will definitely choose Merritt again!!!”

About: I grew up with 14 animals from horses and chickens to cats, dogs, and lizards. I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes of dogs and have a 120# Great Pyr mix who is my best friend! Dude is incredibly friendly and also loves all dogs and loves to have a friend to play with. Whether you have an active/energetic or a chill dog, I will give your dog the attention it needs. We will go on daily walks and may even take field trips to go on hikes or to public spaces like breweries for some socialization if you’re okay with that. If you are in the middle of training your pup, I will make sure to enforce whatever you need to maintain consistency. I work full time and I am usually out of the house from 7:30-5pm. Either before or after work I like to go on a walk and depending on the time of year I like to work on projects in and around my house. On top of work, I am also in a MBA program at the UofA, so my nights will be mostly studying and hanging with the pups. While I am home, the dogs are free to roam and have full access to a 0.5acre fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in backyard and a super friendly (gigantic) puppy, Dude. Your dog will get lots of affection and attention from both me and Dude. Whatever your requests are for taking care of your pup, I am on board! I can also send daily updates of their adventures throughout their stay.

About: I have always been around and taken care of different types of animals, including service dogs and dogs with disabilities. I have love for all shapes and sizes of animals, I grew up caring for Catahoula Lepoard Hounds and labs mostly. Your pets will find the compassion and love and individual care they deserve with me! I am currently unemployed, I am available anytime but also have errands to run and interviews so scheduling in advance is best, I am always willing to move around my schedule to fit your needs I am friendly but keep to myself. I am very respectful and responsible making sure to turn off lights, lock doors and keep a safe and happy home.

“Anna did a great job! She walked them for a long time and followed all of my directions. I have 3 dogs and she clarified for me which ones pooped and which didn't.”

About: I’ve taken care of family owned dogs/cats since I was young!! I also take care of my baby girl Jennie who I rescued 2 years ago !! I’m completely available as of right now!! It might change within the next month, but i’m still hoping to make as much time as possible to do this! I live in an apartment with my girl Jennie and we spend a lot of time outside on walks around my apartment complex and the parks near my apartment!

About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

“Dezerae has been great walking my dogs. Even my normally fearful Chihuahua has taken to her kind spirit quickly, which is a feat in and of itself. Would recommend Dezerae to anyone!”

About: I've always been drawn to animals since I was small. Having grown up with cats and dogs, I have learned to recognize their signs of distress and comfort. Most of my experience involves cats, however I do care for two senior dogs on behave of my family. I take care of four cats and two dogs, three of them being seniors. With specialized meals and medications, each one of my pets are living their best lives. Our kittens have grown attached to our seniors, and they have grown fond of their furry families. I take pride in how friendly they are with one another. On my free days in the week, I love to spend time with our furry critters. Each pet gets specialized one on one time catered to their needs. My highly energized pets recieve play time and my low energy pets get plenty of pets. This care is a daily joy that can be brought to other pet owners who worry for their pets during the day and want updates. This routine starts in the morning with a cup of food per pet, continues on to play after their naps, and finishes off with cuddles at night. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of running space for dogs of any size. I also have a friendly dog that would be more than happy to play with your furry pet. If needed, dogs will be in nightly kennels and all animals will have a separate room just for themselves to ease anxiety or discomfort. Each pet will get plenty of pictures, playtime, and scheduled feeding times based on their needs and the owners expectations. That includes medications wether it be oral or topical.
