Dog Walking Kathleen

About: I have taken care of all ages and levels of need dogs and cats (as well as a broad range of other animals like goats, horses, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc). From puppies to senior dogs and cats as well as dogs with extensive medical needs. I can administer insulin/shots and have also given medication in pill and liquid form. Whatever level of care your beloved pet may need, I would love to help! I currently have open availability and can shift my routine to meet your schedule needs. I have a working car if needed for emergencies and I love going for walks. I’m happy to abide by any house rules you have for your space and any additional needs you may have. I send pictures/videos of your furry family member at least once a day and prefer to send them more often if you’re comfortable with that! Typically, I also do plant care as well if I am pet sitting in your home.

About: Hi there! I'm Vely (pronounced vee-lie) a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and with the help of my dog loving husband Dan, we're here to give you peace of mind with the best care for your pup. We know what it's like when you need to go out of town or on vacation and you want to make an exceptional choice for your 4 legged family member(s). A place where you can ensure, your pup gets adequate exercise, fresh air, and socialization. At our home, your pup will get to roam around (supervised, of course) a 1/4 acre fenced backyard of open space. Your pup will for sure get the zoomies! Your dog will never feel alone as we have 3 dogs of our own. If your pup desires quiet time and wishes to relax away from other dogs, we have puppy gates where they can have part of the house all to themselves. We understand dogs and can accommodate to their needs. As an added bonus, our clients have always mentioned they love the quality of pictures I take for daily updates. See my photo gallery for all the smiling faces. A little about me-- I am also certified in pet first aid/ CPR. I’m currently taking a course to be a certified dog enrichment technician. On my free time I enjoy researching and gaining more knowledge about dog training and behavior. They're my passion and I will care for yours as if they're my own. I started out as a self taught positive reinforcement trick trainer. I've trained my toy Aussie and Border Collie dog sports and stunt tricks. You can see some of my work on Instagram at mr.wilson_toyaussie. As of April 2024, I’m a certified professional dog trainer specializing in puppy training, obedience behaviors, tricks, and mild reactivity. I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy with honors and a mentorship with the owner of Courteous Canine. I also have experience at a grooming salon. My husband is a business owner in the car industry while working out of our home. On his spare time, he loves learning new things and hanging out at home with the dogs. On evenings and weekends you can usually find us either walking our dogs around downtown or at various parks. Bonnet Springs Park is our favorite! Please be aware of the extra charge for the holiday and puppy price. In the Services Box, click on “see additional services and rates.” **All dogs must be friendly. They don't have to engage with other dogs, but must be able to coexist peacefully with others especially large dogs with small dogs. I have separate gated areas in my home and can group dogs together by size, temperament levels, etc. depending on the dog's needs. **Please review the cancellation policy: A full refund is available ONLY if canceled by 12 PM three days before the service begins.** Dan and I are dog lovers with no kids and 3 obedient dogs. I'm usually home and Dan works out of our home so we make a great team taking care of all the pups here. We are flexible and willing to work with your schedule. We have a privacy fenced in 1/4 acre yard for plenty of exercise and room to run and sniff. I love playing fetch if your pup is into that. Your pup will always be supervised and NEVER left unattended outside. I closely monitor dog introductions and take note of their body language. If their energy levels don't match and one becomes overbearing to another, I can keep them separated in a gated area. If a dog plays too rough, I referee accordingly. My goal is to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable during their stay. Crate trained is preferred for adult dogs, but not required as long as they are completely potty trained (1-2 accidents are fine), isn't destructive, and can stay within a gated area when needed. All puppies less than a year must be crate trained as they will be sleeping in a crate overnight for their safety. All of my dogs are crate trained, so I can put them in off mode if your pup wants his/her individual playtime. If you have any special needs or routines I will be happy to accommodate. Additional services: Dog bath: $25 (under 25 lbs), $35 (25-40 lbs) Nail grind: $15 (small-med dogs), $20 (large dogs) 30 min 'sniff walk' at the park - $10

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) (I cannot stay overnight!) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)

“Samantha was awesome! My request was last minute and she was so responsive and kind! She took great pictures and provided great feedback when the walk was over”

About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.

About: I have had a dog since I was 5, she is currently 15. I care for her greatly and will do anything to keep her happy and healthy. I would do the same for anyone else's pet while their owner is away. I am available while I am home from college all the time. I am willing to take care of an animal to the best of my abilities any time of the day. I follow the instructions given by the owner very well so the change does not harm the animal. I have a fenced in backyard and one medium sized female dog. If boarding at my home, the dog(s) would need to be good with female dogs. I will ensure the dog is very well taken care of while in my care.

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, so I genuinely understand what it means to care for them as part of the family. My professional background further strengthens this passion: I've worked as a kennel technician, a vet assistant, and I'm currently a vet tech. Plus, I have experience pet sitting, so I'm comfortable stepping into that role. This means I'm not just a dog lover, but also skilled in understanding canine behavior, providing proper care, and recognizing any health needs. Your dog's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. Working in the vet industry as a vet tech allows me to spend 4-5 days a week surrounded by adorable dogs and cats. And when I’m at home, I take great care of my own fur babies too. It's clear that my love and passion for animals shines through in everything I do! Your pets' safety and well-being will always be my top priority. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, the focus is on maintaining their familiar routine and environment as much as possible. I'll come to your home for scheduled visits or overnight stays, making sure your dogs and cats stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and cuddle time. This minimizes stress for them. I also take care of other household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house looks lived-in for security. Again, my vet tech experience means I'm adept at spotting any health concerns, administering medications, and providing a high level of observant, compassionate care. In both scenarios, regular communication with you, including updates and photos, is a priority so you always know your furry family members are happy and well cared for.

About: Over the past four years, I've gained extensive experience in caring for dogs. I've successfully rescued and trained Harley and temporarily fostered Snoop until finding him a loving home. It's rare for me to only have one dog in my household, as I'm often looking after a friend's dog when I'm not caring for a Rover dog. Harley and I thoroughly enjoy making new friends, especially when they're furry and four-legged. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to welcome new furry friends into my life. I am excited to offer my services for pet sitting, whether it's for dogs or cats. Your pets will receive all the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away. I can’t wait to connect with you and ensure that your pets have a fantastic experience. Let’s create some wonderful moments together—we'll have a great time! I have a spacious, fenced-in back patio that offers an inviting environment for dogs to move around freely and engage in playful activities. This area is perfect for them to stretch their legs, chase after toys, or simply relax in the sun. Additionally, there's a large fenced yard located nearby (you can check out the picture in the gallery), along with plenty of open green spaces that are ideal for enjoyable walks and playtime. I understand that each dog has its own preferences, whether they enjoy leisurely strolls around the neighborhood or prefer to stay close to home. I am committed to following your instructions and ensuring that your dog's needs are met. Under my attentive supervision, your furry friend will have the freedom to be active, explore their surroundings, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and secure environment. For overnight stays, your dog will be accommodated in my cozy second bedroom, which is thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable daybed, a play mat, soft blankets, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained (picture in gallery) If you need any additional items or specific arrangements to make your pup feel at home, please don't hesitate to ask—I have various supplies available to ensure a delightful stay for your furry companion.

About: Owning a variety of pets myself, I am capable of caring for a number of different pets! If left a list of instructions, I am not close-minded to new experiences. I currently have 1 dog, a hedgehog, and recently had one bearded dragon, and have had other pets in the past. I am extremely responsible, and will be available for daily walks, drop-ins, and overnights at the owner's. I am also comfortable teaching basic leash training with positive reinforcement.

With my services, your fur-babies will be treated as family members to ensure their maximum comfort! It would be an honor to connect with you and get to love on your pets! I work in Costa Mesa Monday- Friday in the early mornings until 1pm. After work I am free to care for your pets! A typical afternoon for my dog includes a long walk around town, a nature park, and the beach. We have play time in the dog park where we burn out zoomies and work on obedience and performance skills. By night time my boys are ready for cuddles and their bedtime snack. Though this is my routine, I am very flexible and eager to adapt to the best routine for your pets while under my care! ◡̈ At the moment, I do NOT accept paw-cations (when a pup sleeps over in my home) because my dog is going through obedience/ reaction training. In no way will I risk the safety/ comfort of another family's pet during my services. During drop-ins and overnight stays, your pets will be loved as if they were my own! My personal fur-babies are treated as my "children"; this is behavior is a guarantee while I tend to others' pets as well. My intent is to replicate (as closely as possible) the owner's behavior, so that minimum stress is brought upon pets!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals, including training my own four dogs in potty training and basic obedience. Working from home half of the month allows me to provide constant care and attention. My patience and genuine love for animals ensure they receive the utmost care and companionship while under my watch. Whether it's puppies needing training or seniors requiring extra care, I'm equipped to handle various needs with dedication and expertise. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's woven into the fabric of my day because I adore my four furry friends. Every morning starts with wagging tails and wet noses, as I feed them, take them for walks, and shower them with cuddles. Throughout the day, there are endless games of fetch, belly rubs, and treats to keep their tails wagging and their hearts happy. Their well-being is my top priority, and I make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. As a hybrid employee balancing work and pet care, I dedicate 40 hours a week to my job, but my furry friends are always a priority. Fortunately, I'm home every weekend and spend two full weeks each month at home, providing ample time for attentive care and companionship. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, your pets will receive the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home. For boarding, your pet will become a part of our family, enjoying cozy accommodations, regular exercise, and plenty of love and attention. During dog walks, your furry friend will explore the neighborhood, stretch their legs, and receive personalized care tailored to their needs. With in-home check-ins, your pet will receive visits filled with playtime, feeding, and companionship to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.
