Dog Walking Ketchuptown

About: Growing up in the animal rescue and care world, I’ve looked after everything from horses to mice. Over the years, I’ve fostered, reconditioned, and rehomed abused and abandoned animals, helping them learn to trust again. I’m experienced in animal behavior across life stages, including neonatal and senior pets. My goal is to provide every animal I meet with as much love, guidance, and attentive care as they deserve. I live on a small homestead with my husband, a stay-at-home dad and disabled veteran, and our four children. I’m a self-employed Realtor and the owner of LABZ Pet and Farm Sitting LLC, so I have the flexibility to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I’m currently attending Unity Environmental University, working toward my Bachelor of Science in Companion Animal Behavior. My program is fully online, which means I can bring my laptop with me and easily keep up with coursework during overnight stays or extended sits. I strictly follow the guidelines and routines you provide, because you know your pets best. When no specific instructions are given, I use a thoughtful, age-appropriate schedule for dogs and cats at different life stages. In general, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged: walking and playtime, refilling food and water according to your specifications, cleaning up any messes, and providing baths when needed. I can also pick up pet supplies or groceries upon request, so you come home to happy pets and a stress-free environment.

“The best!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs with different needs and personalities, always providing patient, loving, and dependable care to ensure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I do work part-time, so I’m unavailable on Mondays, Wednesdays, and during the day on Fridays. That said, I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and consistent during my available times. Pets in my home are treated like family and cared for in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I have a fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time and plenty of space for play and exercise. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also have crates available if needed for rest, training, or to match your pet’s normal routine.

“Marie did an awesome job. My Zoey seems to really like her. We did a meet and greet. She was friendly and interacted with Zoey. Zoey took to her right away. Showed up on time. Great dog walker.”

About: I treat every pet like family—because they deserve nothing less. With experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, I understand that each pet has unique needs. I’m patient, attentive, and trained in basic obedience techniques, making me especially skilled with energetic pups or pets needing a little extra guidance. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it doesn’t feel like a task, it feels like time well spent. I structure my days to prioritize the pets in my care, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I enjoy creating a routine that makes each pet feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medication, or cuddle sessions. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, and I make sure they get both mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I follow all instructions carefully, from meal prep to walk routes, and make sure pets get the same love and attention they’re used to. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

About: My whole life, I've grown up with cats and dogs (tabby's and pit-bulls to be exact). I have trained 3 puppies (basic commands like sit and stay) and have taken care of one senior dog (18) and a senior cat (17). I do prefer a week in advance heads up, but will help as best as I can! Open to early mornings and late nights. Just communicate your needs and I will do my best to accommodate you. Pets are always cared for in a safe, clean, and supervised environment, whether in my home or yours. I remove hazards, maintain routines, and prioritize comfort, security, and trust. In clients’ homes, I respect all instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for at all times.

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. Caring for my three senior dogs has given me experience with the patience, compassion, and attentiveness older pets need, and my family’s strong belief in adoption, especially senior dog adoption, has shaped my passion for animal care. I have also spent years volunteering at animal shelters, which has strengthened my love for helping animals feel safe and cared for. I provide reliable dog and house sitting services with experience in overnight care and following individualized feeding, medication, walking, and daily care schedules for pets of all ages and needs. My goal is to give families peace of mind through kindness, empathy, and dependable care! I’m looking to work part/full time, especially through the summer months, where I can be a reliable sitter for either pets or a household! I’m available every weekday and can work on weekends depending upon requests, and will always be transparent regarding my availability. I currently own 3 senior dogs and 1 cat, and take care of them alongside my family every day! I care for every animal in a client’s home with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I pride myself on being timely, reliable, and dependable while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their environment. Whether it’s following detailed schedules, providing overnight care, administering extra attention to senior pets, or adapting to specific needs, I approach every family and animal with compassion, respect, and genuine dedication!

About: I have had pets my entire life. As a 28 year old I have had several years of dog and cat training. I cannot remember a time in my life when I didn’t own a dog. I love to play, run, sit, and comfort animals. I am very good with dogs of any age and weight. I am an animal lover and understand that dogs are humans best friends. Animals deserve to be treated with the best care possible. I am very flexible and eager to work with anyone who needs help! Thank you. I am currently working full time 3rd shift. I am a full time single mom. I am very flexible. My schedule does vary due to working at a hospital and having a toddler, but nothing that would stop me from caring for your fur baby! I had two middle aged small dogs. That were inside dogs and go outside when they please. We went on 3 walks a day and played with toys inside. My dogs have food in their bowls 24/7. I will follow any schedule or expectations given by the owner. My cats were cared for the same as my dogs.

About: I have been raised alongside animals all my life. I've had dogs for as long as I remember ranging from pitbulls to great danes, and from chihuahuas to jack russells. I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a parent and a pet owner myself, our home is always filled with love and structure. We specialize in boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits, so your pup will instantly become a part of our routine. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a massive open field perfect for leashed exploration, long-line fetch, and active outdoor time! Whether socializing with my dog, playing with my child, or running in the field, your pup will be safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a working parent who is also in school, our home operates on a reliable, structured routine built around my baby's schedule and my daily commitments. My school schedule is about to become much busier, I am highly focused on managing my time effectively. Please note that I may not always be able to respond to text messages immediately while I am in class or focused on work, but I will always check in and provide updates as soon as I am free! Because our days are busy, your pup will get a highly active experience—on days when I am completely washed with school or work activities, I often bring my guest pets along with me so they get extra socialization, stimulation, and real-world fun! My Care Standards: Boarding & Daycare (In My Home): Guest pets enjoy supervised playtime with my dog, kid-friendly interactions, and leashed outdoor exercise in our large open field. All guest dogs must be friendly with children and other pets. House Sitting (In Your Home): My house sitting service is primarily an overnight stay focused on evening companionship and morning routines, supplemented by a reliable midday check-in rather than constant 24/7 care. Drop-In Visits: I provide reliable, structured check-in blocks tailored around my daily routine to ensure consistent potty breaks, meals, and companionship in your pet's own home.I prioritize clear communication, strict safety, and a predictable routine for every pet in my care!

About: I've been an animal lover since childhood, training dogs, and worked a pet store for many years. Making sure an animal is treated just like a child with the best care and nutrition is my passion. I am very one on one with my pets, taking time to play fetch with them and go on walks so we both get our exercise in for the day. Animals always seem to take right to me. I am skilled in administering medications and know dog CPR. I also have extensive first aid training from my time as a volunteer fire fighter. My current availability is very open , any time, even last minute notice is okay. I do work 8-5 on a average Shift. If you trust your loved one to me, you won't be let down!

About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because my schedule is open and flexible. I can provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and playtime whenever needed. I care for pets like family. At my home, they enjoy my fenced in yard, playtime and attention. In clients homes, I follow rountines, give exercise and provide loving care.

About: I am a certified, licensed, and insured dog trainer and the owner of Chaos To Clarity K9. I work with dogs and their families on obedience, leash skills, everyday manners, and behavior challenges. Many of the dogs I help are everyday family dogs who need guidance with things like pulling on leash, barking, jumping, reactivity, or learning how to settle in the home. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping owners build strong foundations early through clear communication and consistency. I have a strong interest in behavior modification, especially helping dogs work through fear, stress, and reactivity at a pace that keeps them comfortable and learning. My husband is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a combat veteran and former military police K9 handler who trained civilian police dogs. Because of his veterinary background, I’m also able to consult with him when behavior questions may have a possible medical component, which can sometimes play a role in behavior. I also understand that dogs live in real families with real challenges. I live with multiple sclerosis and am raising an autistic four-year-old, so I appreciate how important it is for training to be practical, realistic, and supportive of the household environment. My goal is always to help create calmer, safer, and more enjoyable relationships between dogs and the people who love them. One thing that’s very important to me is paying attention to canine body language and stress signals. Dogs communicate constantly through subtle changes in posture, facial expression, and movement, and recognizing those signals early can prevent many behavior problems from escalating. During training, I help owners learn how to recognize what their dog is communicating so they can respond in a way that builds trust, confidence, and better behavior over time. Dog training is part of my regular weekly routine, and I intentionally keep my schedule structured so each client receives focused attention. My current training availability is: • Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Wednesday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Sunday: Afternoon appointments available by request Closed: Monday and Friday Because each dog and family has unique needs, I limit the number of training sessions I take each week so I can provide thoughtful, individualized guidance and follow-up support between sessions. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my top priorities when working with dogs and their families. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals to make sure dogs remain comfortable and able to learn during training. Training sessions focus on creating a calm, structured environment where both the dog and owner can succeed. I work at the dog’s pace and help owners understand what their dog is communicating so they can respond clearly and confidently. My goal is to create training plans that are safe, practical, and sustainable for everyday life, helping dogs feel more secure while helping owners feel supported throughout the process.

“Sarah was great! She was extremely reliable and handled my 2 big dogs with ease. My dogs were well taken care of and her communication was great. We have some complicated instructions when it comes to getting our dogs past our electric fence and she handled that with no problems.”

I would love to keep your loved companions safe and comfortable while you relax on vacation or take care of business for work. I have a completely open schedule at the moment. I can do potty breaks /walks or over night stays for as long as is needed. I have a fenced in yard in a quite neighborhood. Plenty of toys and blankets for everyone and only the best quality dog food and treats. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own but could keep separate if you prefered.
