Dog Walking Lexington Hills

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals all my life! I rescue animals when I can, have fostered, bottle fed, treated injuries, given injections and medications to many animals. Animals are my comfort zone- just being around them is my joy! I can do short walks, herding dog games, feed, or provide overnight care. I especially love herding and other working breed dogs, and typically get along with even difficult animals (feral cats for example!) I would love to meet you and your pets! I am a recently retired high school teacher sill working part time at UCSC, so am available most days to care for your pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 kitties at home, bit can easily help out pet parents who need extra walks, play time, or vacation care! My pets are my family (fur babies!) i will care for your pets like my own! I can care for your pets in your home- the least stressful for them! Or take them to a park, hikes, or a leisurely walk. In your home I will make sure to keep everything tidy, and treat your pets as my family- lots of snuggles and playtime!

“Sydney has walked my dog, Louis, on several occasions. His interaction with Louis is very positive and Louis is excited when Sydney comes. Sydney has always been on time and sends pictures during the walk to let me know that he has Louis. I definitely recommend Sydney!”

About: He tenido mascotas desde niña. Mi amor por los animales es enorme, velo por su bienestar. Ellos lo son todo para mi. Ellos son felices conmigo. I'm at home every day. My care will be full-time. They will feel at home with me. I love going for a walk with them. I have a closed yard where the pets go out to sunbathe and during the day they are inside the house. I really enjoy your company.

“Sumaira is always on time and I know I can count on her to take good care of my fur babies. While walking my Siberian Husky another dog that was unleased attacked my dog. Sumaira safely got my girl home and check her out from head to toe. She promptly notified me that the husky was attacked, however alright. Sumaira let me know there was a little blood on her ear, however she did not appear to be injured. I myself have had another dog attack us when we were walking. Sumaira did the responsible thing and notified me and ensured my girl was alright. In this type of situation that is best can be accomplished and despite this incident I will ask Sumaira to walk her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of and owned animals of all kinds since childhood. Taught and trained by my mother, who’s been a vet tech for over 40 years! I have extensive knowledge of proper pet care practices and continue to keep up to date with all the latest information and research. I have experience handling, training, and caring for pets of various sizes and breeds; including large-small dogs, senior dogs & cats, puppies & kittens, and high needs pets! If your fur baby has behavioral issues or quirks, needs daily medication, and/or has strict dietary guidelines, you can trust that your pets special needs will be met to your standards while in my care! I work part time as a creative professional and musician with a relatively flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet family! If I’m scheduled for a pet care service, I will dedicate the time necessary to fulfill those duties happily I am a very attentive, intuitive, and patient person with both humans and pets. I pride myself on being organized, structured, and honest in home & work environments, and have always lived by the golden rule of leaving a place better than you found it! If the service you choose requires daily and/or overnight stays at your home, you can rely on me to treat your home and pet/s with all the respect and care it deserves.

About: Hi! I’m Gemma, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, house sitting, and growing up with dogs of my own. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active, so whether your dog loves long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with different routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with a friend rather than just being watched. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! Pet care is something I intentionally schedule my week around. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent care and stick closely to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, medications, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention on walks and around other animals. I always leave your home clean and tidy, provide regular photo updates, and communicate promptly so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, caring hands.

“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”

About: Many years ago I worked as a vet tech. I have been involved withwildlife and pet rescue literally all my life. I have successfully raised a few well-mannered, helpful and obedient dogs. My pups always have chores (ie: retrieving the newspaper, carrying in groceries, helping with yard work). I do my best to keep everything consistent for your fur babies. I try to keep to your normal routine and use your terminology and commands. Everyone so far has been pretty consistent ("sit, stay, off, leave it, release, etc) so I haven't needed to change up my vocabulary much. If you have multiple pets please ask me about adjusting the rates for each additional pet over 3. I can usually make adjustments. I am retired, therefore, able to devote all of my time to the pets and home that I am caring for. I love to garden so pulling weeds makes me happy. Lately, I have been making terreriums so you could come home to a needless yard and a jar full of plants. If you have a junk drawer or closer you'd like organized, leave me a list. Much more fun to organize your junk drawer than mine! I do my best to keep anxiety to a minimum and fun to the max. I want your pets to associate your suitcase with a fun time with me vs missing you. No matter how much fun I give them, they will still be overjoyed when you return. As it should be!

About: Howdy, I'm Persia, and I would love to walk your amazing best friend! I have 10 years of veterinary medicine and animal welfare experience. I am a certified veterinary assistant. I am a fear free / force free trainer. I love working with all kinds of dogs from the young and hyper to the geriotric babies.🤠🐶 Very blessed pet care can be my biggest passion and career. Working in animal welfare for the past 15years has giving me the knowledge and experience to be able to pursue my dreams No matter the service, I am dedicated to providing and following all safety protocols for every house, walks, or bathing service. I never walk a dog without a leash. I advocate for all dogs while on walks for others not to pet or approach with their dogs to keep everyone safe.

“Ankke was so wonderful; a great friend and sitter for our dog, and a very responsible house sitter as well. Highly recommended!”

I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions you provide.

About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets while they are away. I am looking forward to doing same for your family. I'm currently working on a limited basis so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I am available weekends and most weekdays. I have a fenced-in yard. I can easily crate your dog. My children are ready to give your dog extra love and walks. We love to go on walks.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs extra patience and support, or anything in between, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to treat every animal with the same love and attention as my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a wide variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. Because I have open availability, I can provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and consistent care rather than rushing between commitments. I’m committed to being dependable, responsive, and making sure your pet receives the time and care they deserve while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I believe the best care starts with earning their trust. I’ll always move at your pet’s pace, respecting their personality, comfort level, and routine while creating a calm, positive environment. Their safety is my highest priority, so I’ll remain attentive on walks, during playtime, and throughout every visit, keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or anxious, I’ll provide patient, thoughtful care that helps them feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: What sets me aside from other dog sitters is my ability to be aware of a dogs needs! I am also super receptive to their needs and always want to make sure they're safe and taken care of. Especially since I know how scary it can be leaving your family (your fuzzy friend) with a stranger. However, I don't want it to feel like that. Through my husband's family I have had the privilege of really growing with four dogs. Two frenchies, and two chihuahuas who have become such a big part of my world. I love dogs and have even volunteered through CARE. Companion Animal Research Effort. The two Chihuahuas we owned were seniors so I would love to take care of senior pets if needed. I understand they need a lot more compassion as well as structure. I would make sure they're safe, monitored, and getting all the love they deserve to thrive! I'm currently working Full Time at a medical supply company- but I would love to help either Friday Nights after 5 PM, Saturdays if needed overnight into Sundays until 5 PM! I am more of a weekend available pet care professional. I care for pets by providing a safe and loving environment full of compassion. Whether they're a younger pet or senior pet I make sure all their needs are met and they won't be shamed for having any accidents etc. I will always clean up after them and I live by the rule of leaving things better than when I came into the picture. I also have all my focus on them and will make sure that they're in my sight!

About: I’ve taken occasional care of my neighbor’s dog when I was younger while they were on vacation! I loved dogs ever since but was never allowed to have one until I moved out and got a 4 year old fur baby of our own :) I’m working part time but I have availability most days of the week + weekend if needed! I’m flexible towards your needs so please let me know what additional things you request to make life less stressful and carefree! I’m on constant watch of my own dog as I never leave her unsupervised if I let her out on our balcony that’s been recently fenced off. I constantly make sure that she needs to take frequent potty breaks and of course park time to release the zoomies! I’m very organized and I like to keep the house and of course dogs clean at all times. I also love grooming dogs!
