Dog Walking Lakeshore

“She was a very good walker. It was very quick for us to get the details down and she was prompt getting there at the agreed time plus my dog loved her.”

About: We've been a foster family for the Dumb Friends League for over a decade. My children and I have loved caring for all the furry beasts, and their unique personalities, over the years. We have a fenced in backyard that backs onto a school, park, and walking trails. Ours is an active home with people constantly going in and out. There would almost always be extra people around happy to give your pet attention. I work from home, with small jobs and errands that take me out for only a few hours at a time. There is enough space if your pet needs a quiet space, that can be provided. We do own one unambitious lump of a cat that charms us with his squinty stares and warm cuddles. When other animals have been in the house, he keeps to my room. We've had hundreds of foster animals through the years, mostly kittens, puppies, their mommies as well as some rabbits and guinea pigs. Some have required more attention than others. We've administered meds, fed and cleaned plenty of messes, and spent hours just enjoying and playing with them.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, so I'm comfortable with any size or personality. Their safety is non-negotiable — when I was in the Peace Corps and realized the environment wasn't safe for the dog I'd adopted, I sent him back to the U.S. rather than risk it. That's the same care I bring to every walk and every stay. I run regularly, so your dog gets an actual walk, not a lap around the block — they'll come home tired and happy. I also have my own dog, so walks might come with a buddy, if you're up for it. Pet care isn't something I fit in around my day — it's already part of it. I have open availability across mornings, afternoons, and evenings, so your dog's walk or visit isn't squeezed into a narrow window between other commitments — it's a real priority, not an afterthought. I also have my own dog, so daily walks, feeding schedules, and reading a dog's mood or energy level are already habits, not extra tasks. Your dog's care gets the same consistency mine does. I show up on time and stick to your dog's usual routine — same leash, same route, same pace, unless you'd like something different. I watch their energy and body language throughout, not just for safety, but to actually read what they need that day. Before I go, I make sure water's out and everything's left the way I found it. I also send a quick photo or update after the walk, so you know exactly how it went.

“Brenda is amazing. Very professional and loving with our puppy. We’ve only started using her and she’s great. On time. Very communicative.”

“I recommend Tiffany 100%! She was quick to respond to my request but, most of all she was patient with our dog,Ace, who is reactive to strangers and barks. She sends updates and keeps me posted on how they did each walk.”

“I am so thankful for Gladys. She offered to take care of Pinto for the first time with one day notice. He liked her instantly (even tho he barked at first) I will definitely ask for her help in the future.”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Having cared for my own pets for the past 6 years and successfully pet-sitting for close friends and family over the last year, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to look after your furry family members. Whether I’m dropping in for playtime, taking them on energetic walks, or providing overnight snuggles, my goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and stress-free while you're away. My schedule is very flexible and wide open during the mornings, making it easy for me to dedicate focused time, energetic morning walks, and undivided attention to your pets right from the start of the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, keeping them safe and happy is my top priority. I carefully follow their normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, and closely monitor them during playtime and walks. I also treat your home with great respect, keep things tidy, and send regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.

“We have used Amber for months for weekly dog walks, but recently Amber watched our two girls while we were out of town. It is a relief to know that your fur babies are well cared for while you are away. I am a veterinarian, and in the past I have had numerous veterinary technicians and other vets watch my pups. Knowing this I can honestly say that Amber is so in tune with my dogs that I would prefer her as my dog sitter going forward. Thanks Amber for loving my babies so much.”
