Dog Walking Josephville

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, and fish in our home. I got my own puppy when I was 24. He was my baby until he passed away at 12 years old. I believe pets are family and should be treated that way. I especially love taking dogs on long walks or playing fetch until they’re worn out. I’m a stay at home mom/housewife so I have flexibility in my schedule during the week M-F. I can make most drop-in requests work. I prefer to care for dogs in your home. I can easily follow directions whether that is crating your dog, making sure they’re in a closed off area, or any other requirements.

“Donovan is great with my dogs. His visits give me peace of mind knowing my dogs get “relief” in the afternoon and I don’t stress as much getting home quickly. Donovan is reliable.”

About: Animals have always made sense to me! I love studying their behavior and communication. Dogs and cats warm up to me quickly because I listen to what they are telling me. I've become a reliable pet-sitter for family friends after years of watching their pets. I have experience with cats and dogs, hyperactive and calm. I listen to instructions carefully so I can keep your pet happy and safe. I always make time to check in on pets. Often my schedule is free, but if not I can visit your pet early in the morning or late at night. Otherwise, I tend to check in at regular times so your pet gets a sense of normalcy. I only offer check-ins at the client's house, so your pet will be in the same environment. I still keep an eye on everyone to ensure their safety!

“She has been amazing with Azula! She’s patient, reliable, and really understands her personality. Azula warmed up to her so quickly and is always happy and comfortable with her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Azula is in good hands. I’m so happy I found her and would definitely recommend her! ❤️”

About: I have owned many dogs throughout my life. A Black Lab, German Shepard, Chihuahua, Dachshund and even a strange little guy from the adoption center. I can handle dogs in all energies and sizes, but as a 5'0 girl I'll bring some sturdy tennis shoes for the big boys. I have experience with crate training, basic command training, brushing, and giving them their medication. I recently graduated college and am looking to fill my schedule. Due to my part time job, my calendar changes frequently. Please don't hesitate to contact me to see if we can work together to get the animals taken care of. I enjoy walks and would love to share that time with someone's dog (or cat if they're up for it). If they're lazy like my black lab, I'm also down to just hang out. I can crate dogs, feed them, take them for walks, give them medication and even do some light training for some tricks. If you have a puppy I can work with you to socialize and train them for the basics. If your cat is cuddly or a scaredy cat, I can accommodate any of their behaviors. Whether they want infinite pets or to hide under the bed, I will make sure they are taken care of.

About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes ! I love doing basic training with them . Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets , in my career as a licensed esthetician, I’ve developed patience, reliability, strong attention to detail, and the ability to provide personalized care qualities that also make me a dependable pet sitter. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply keeping pets company, I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own. I love to do house sitting / boarding , your dogs will get lots of one on one attention, walks and more ! I usually only work 30 hours a week so I have plenty of time to care for your animals,available on weekends , I work around 4 days a week sometimes it can be up to 9 hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly Husky of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and talented escape artists! I’m always extra mindful when opening doors, using leashes, and making sure pets are secure at all times. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I would my own. If your dog stays with me, they’ll have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised play, a friendly Husky companion if they’re comfortable with other dogs, and a crate available if they prefer or are crate trained. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. I have lots of experience with high energy dogs , puppies and senior dogs :) I of course will send pics / vid updates .

“Great communication and very friendly!!!”

About: We would love to care for your dog while you are away! We treat our doggie guests like family. At our house, your dog will get lots of play, exercise, love and attention. We have a beautiful, large, secure fenced back yard. During the school year, we are gone 6 hours on weekdays. We like to take frequent walks with our dogs, but we are happy to run with your dog if you prefer. Let us know what your preferences are, and what makes your dog special, and we will do our best to provide the individual care that your dog needs! We are home Sat. through Mon. Tue. through Fri. we are gone between the hours of 8am-2pm. Your furbaby will get lots of snuggles and playtime. I have a fenced backyard and one very sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves playdates with other furry friends. No need to bring a crate, I have an extra one if your dog needs one for nighttime or when we are away. I have experience administering meds as well. Thanks for giving us a chance to get to know your sweet fur baby!

About: I’ve not gone most of my life without pets in my life and I understand how much they mean to us. I have had plenty of friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are out, so I’ve been able to deal with pups of most ages! I am home from college this summer and am looking for something to fill my free time! I have a very open and flexible schedule during the weekend and weekdays as of right now, so taking care of any pets shouldn’t be a problem as I am only a part time employee! I have a very energetic dog myself so I know what is needed to keep him entertained. I can crate your dog if needed/ when specified. For my dog, I make sure he takes his medications on time and I can do the same for any other pups. I make sure all meals are given out on time and treats given wisely but generously if allowed.

About: I’ve always been an animal person! I grew up with both cats and dogs and now have two cats of my own who are very much part of the family. I’ve also spent years helping care for the pets of family and friends, as well as dogs and cats in the homes of families I’ve nannied for. I’m happy to go on walks, play, give lots of attention, or just hang out with a pet who wants some company while their people are away. I know how much I worry about my own pets when I leave them with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing yours are being loved and cared for while they’re with me! I’m currently a full-time graduate student, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I spend a lot of my time studying and working on school from home. I’m not currently working outside of school, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’d especially love to add some regular dog walks into my daily routine, it gives me an excuse to get outside, take a break from schoolwork, and spend time with some four-legged company! I’m also available for drop-ins and am happy to work around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to work around mine. I will follow your pets normal routine and any instructions you leave regarding schedules, medications, and preferences. Expect to receive pictures and videos of your friend when they are in my care as I love when others do the same!

About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.

“Allyson was great Penne loved seeing her!”

About: I started dog walking/sitting when I was just 12 years old and continued with it until I was about 18+ years old. Every weekday, rain or shine, I was there with my puppy friends. Certain dogs required specific harnesses, food, shoes, grooming, and routines. I love meeting new dogs and their dog parents. I took a break for a few years once I started college, but I’ve missed it! I have a dog myself, she’s a 2.5 year old chihuahua/mountain cur mix and my best friend. Prior to her, I had a full bred chihuahua for 11 years, and fostered a rotty mix for about a year as well. I’m currently a full time college student, going for my masters in clinical mental health counseling, and I also work full time - busy girl! This would be something I could do after shifts and on my days off, spending time with your sweet fur babies. I would love to help make your life a little easier and your fur baby’s life more fun! I know each pet is unique and requires special love and care. I can’t wait to meet you and your adorable pets! I currently work full time and also in school full time. So this is something I will be doing after shifts and on days off. I have my own dog, Evie, that I care for as well. I will only accept jobs that I know I can give the appropriate care, attention, and time to. I know they are your fur babies and they deserve the best! The two dogs in our home currently get walked multiple times a day, play with each other (and us), and when the weather is nice, they LOVE to go to the park and/or on hikes! My dog Evie, is a big fan of hiking, so her and I try to get out and do that as often as we can. I have had many family pets, my own personal best fur friends, and cared for other’s pets as well - I know each animal is unique and comes with their own specific needs and requirements. If I feel I am a good fit then I will gladly take on the responsibility of caring for your pet! I know finding a trustworthy person to care for your pet can really help lessen stress and anxiety.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs myself, helped care for neighbors’ pets, and walked friends’ dogs over the years. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I understand pets thrive on consistency, and I’m happy to work with your routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and live in a safe south-side neighborhood with plenty of room for walks and playtime. Whether your pet loves to be active or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like family.

About: Hi! I am Lillian and I'm an avid animal lover and would love to hang with your pups or cats!! I have had experience with all ages of dogs and cats and would be comfortable with all age groups. I grew up working with horses, dogs, cats and even nursed wild bunnies to health. I've worked with high energy dogs to the older guys and gals who need some extra coaxing. Some of the animals I've taken care of in the past have needed meds or special food routines ect. so that shouldn't be a issue at all.. I love a long walk or run as well if needed. I look forward to working with you and your pups! I am free all day and would love spending my evenings, mid day or afternoons walking or hangin with your pal. I am available early mornings as well as Sunday and Monday! I currently have three cats and a husky who are bonded and beyond besties. We are avid hikers and campers together and they truly love their adventures. My pup and two cats currently on medication so I am familiar with and comfortable helping out in any way.
