Dog Walking Lincoln Heights

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who understands that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure or prefers a slower, quieter approach, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve loved dogs my entire life, growing up in a family with dogs and spending about a year volunteering at my local humane society walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Today, I also share my home with two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different needs and behaviors. Building trust is one of the most important parts of pet care. I know that not every animal is immediately comfortable with someone new, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I never force interactions or push boundaries. Instead, I focus on creating positive experiences so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times and stay alert to our surroundings to help ensure every outing is safe and enjoyable. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I’d want for my own animals. Whether you need a midday walk, a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, medication reminders (if applicable), or just someone to spend quality time with your pet while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time from home, but my job allows for a lot of flexibility during the day, evenings and weekends. My only immovable commitment right now is coaching softball Monday and Wednesday evenings over the summer, and the occasional work meeting that I will plan around ☺️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always come first. I strive to create a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and respected. I believe trust is earned through patience, consistency, and kindness, so I always let animals set the pace and never force interactions. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time together during a visit, you can count on me to provide attentive, safety-focused care while treating your pet like one of my own.

“Great dog walkers. Give detailed information from the walk. Easy to work with. Very nice people.”

About: I’ve pet sat for five animals at once, including both dogs and cats! I have experience with animals ranging from puppy to senior! I’ve owned dogs of all different sizes including wiener dogs and newfoundlands! I also have two cats! I’m super flexible and a quick learner who can easily adapt to the needs of your pets! I’m currently working a separate job and volunteering twice a week but both are part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with animals and have a very flexible schedule! I consider myself to be very likable to animals and have a positive demeanor which animals tend find comforting! I have experience walking both big and small dogs and caring for cats as well! I also have experience housesitting and am happy to water your plants and bring in your mail!

“Brittany walked our two energetic and reactive dogs for one hour walks over a two week period. We were out of town and my parents had easy communication with her. My dogs got their exercise and were happy and content pups! I would recommend Brittany and book through her again.”

“Friendly, professional, communicative, and prompt! My pup was happy and I enjoyed the report cards. Will definitely be booking with Julia next time I work late”

About: I have always had many pets in my house. I currently take care of my 3 cats and have 3 dogs at home who i love dearly. I go to school part-time at WWU and work a part-time job. Pet care is the perfect hobby for me because I love animals and spending time with my pets. I walk my dogs regularly and clean litter boxes and food and water bowls, as well as keep my animals happy and cuddled! I also bathe my dogs and groom them. I am happy to provide any extra care and love to your pets!

“Jacob is awesome with my two dogs! My shy dog warmed up to him quickly and they look forward to walking with him. Highly recommend Jacob to take care of your pets.”

About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want to make that easier. I’m a caring and responsible pet owner myself, and I’ve also helped care for friends’ pets while they’ve been away on trips. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll make sure your pets get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break, so I have full availability and flexible scheduling for pet sitting. Once I return to school, my availability will adjust, but I’m still able to plan around pet care and communicate my schedule clearly in advance. In my own home, I prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment for pets. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a large fenced backyard where dogs can play and get exercise. I make sure pets are always supervised, have fresh water, and feel comfortable in their space. I also respect each pet’s routine and needs, and I aim to keep their environment as stress free as possible whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home.

“Audrey did a great job with Tommy, even after he decided not to eat during her first day with him. (It’s not unusual behavior on his part.) She did a great job in keeping us informed and working through food options, one of which eventually worked. She was calm under pressure.”

About: Please READ- I have a labradoodle named Wesley who gets along great with other dogs! I prefer to bring Wesley along with me. I absolutely love every dog I meet. My owners got me connected with many different families who had dogs ranging in size. I follow very precise instructions well needed for the dog/cats health or lifestyle. I am loving to all my dogs especially when they are missing you! Your dog will be greatly taken care of and I send updates/pictures during the time you are away. I work full time but come home and potty my dog on breaks! Your dog will be treated as my own and loved while you’re away! I always will be keeping an eye on your dog in and outside. I want to make a safe place for me and the animals always!

“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”

About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing. At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability for walks and drop ins! I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! For pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.

About: I’m a big animal lover. I got my first dog 5 years ago, and trained her by myself. I love training, teaching dogs fun new tricks, going on walks and just showing all the love to any and all animals. I work a full time job. And will sometimes work from home on Mondays, but that is not a guarantee. If you are comfortable with me being gone for 8 hours a day during the week, I’m your gal! My puppy, Mochi, would love a buddy to play with while I’m gone. I have a big, fenced back yard, lots of dog toys, and a very friendly pup who loves all dogs. I have watched and trained many of my friends dogs, so I have ample of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds.

“Monique is great! The dogs love her. She's always prompt, courteous and accommodating. Will definitely book with her again should the need arise!”

“Tek came back from her walk with Nadia and it was clear I’ve been downgraded to her second favorite person 😒 (Joke…sorta. But Nadia is great. 10/10)”

“Karli has been great! She has been very flexible with scheduling and my dog Stella just loves her. I have a large breed senior dog and she is very understanding and takes special care on walks. I will also be using her to house sit for my dog in the future as well!”

About: I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I have been fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I want to spend my spare time doing something productive that I love... caring for dogs is a perfect fit! Most of my time is spent at my home and in our back yard. I have 2 dogs that are very social and love spending time with other dogs. They will enjoy having play-dates with your dog(s). I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 4 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention. I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for the digs. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed.

About: I believe that like people, meeting dogs where they're at and fulfilling their individual needs is so important! I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments, from high energy buddies to low energy love-bugs and everything in between. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, shy, avoidant dogs, and dogs with aggressive behavioural tendencies. Every dog deserves love, affection, and care, and I can't wait to meet yours! I am currently working part time, and my availability is wide. So, I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pups. Every dog is different, and it can be stressful to some when their humans are away. I believe that making sure they are relaxed, happy, and comfortable is key. I look forward to getting to know and spend time with your dog!

“Lauren has walked my dog for 2 recurring periods now, and she has been amazing. My dog loves going on walks with her and she takes such good care of him and is super responsive and sends plenty of updates from the walk.”
