Dog Walking Loch Lloyd

About: Hello! My name is Andie, and I’m a cat lady, dog lover, bookworm, and traveler. I work as a freelance editor, so I can work from anywhere, and my schedule is very flexible. * As a big animal lover, I love the opportunity to make new furry friends. I currently have a cat (Luna), as well as having cats and dogs growing up. I’ve worked as a dog and cat sitter in Philadelphia and Kansas City for several years, and I also house/pet sit through Trusted Housesitters, a service that facilitates lodging around the world in exchange for house/pet sitting. * Through these experiences, I’m accustomed to working with a variety of types and personalities of cats and dogs, as well as caring for rescue and/or nervous pets. I’m calm and patient, diligent in following specific instructions, and committed to making sure your furry friends are healthy, comfortable, happy, and well loved even while you're away! I’m organized, reliable, and tidy, I’ll make sure your home and/or pet(s) get the respect and care they deserve so you can relax in knowing your home and beloved beasties are safe and well cared for! I’m also very communicative and am happy to provide updates and photos as frequently as you like (because there's no such thing as too many cute animal pics). My schedule is very flexible, so I can structure my days around your pet’s routine. I typically work from home during the day and sometimes run errands or go out in the afternoon/evening. I’m not usually out late or gone for more than a few hours at a time. I also love to be active, so I’m happy to walk/play with pets as much as needed. I try to maintain a routine and environment as close as possible to what pets are used to—feeding and walking at their usual times, etc. I love spending time with pets, whether that means taking a dog out on an exploration or cuddling up with a lap cat/dog, but overall I want pets to be comfortable, so I cater to each pet’s preferences and comfort levels.

“will definitely rebook with Shiva. Never missed updating us with photos and communicate with us.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for my family dog since we got her as a puppy, helping with her training and taking full responsibility for her care whenever my parents are away. Growing up around animals has given me a natural connection with them and an understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention they need. In addition to my experience with pets, I have over 1,000 hours of patient care experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and will be starting nursing school this fall. My healthcare background has strengthened my compassion, attentiveness, and ability to provide dependable care. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I will care for yours with the same empathy, responsibility, and dedication that I bring to caring for my patients. I recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Public Health and am spending the summer in Kansas City before starting nursing school in August. My schedule is very flexible, with only a few appointments throughout the week, which allows me to be highly available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and other pet care needs. I would love to help care for your pets whenever you need an extra hand. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I am reliable and able to travel to your home to provide the care your pet needs, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, or companionship. I have strong communication skills and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I am highly detail-oriented, follow instructions carefully, and understand that every pet has unique needs. My goal is to care for your beloved pet as if they were a member of my own family.

“Anna is quite reliable. We really appreciate it.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and other pets my whole life and have loved them all so much! I’ve been dog sitting and cat sitting for family and friends since I’ve been able to drive, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I just graduated high school so I have lots of available time, and I love going on walks and runs. I have experience with many different animals with different personalities, so I’ll know how to give all pets some love! I’m on my summer break before college so I have plenty of time to care for your pups and cats! I love going for long walks and runs on trails or around the neighborhood. Before walking or dog sitting a new dog, I like to know a bit about their personalities and how energetic they are. I do require that all animals I care for are friendly with people and other pets, and are not aggressive or territorial over their food or home.

“Katie was AMAZING! There was great communication and she always showed up on time with a smile on her face. Our dog absolutely loved her. He would wait at the window for her when I would tell him that she was coming. I felt very comfortable in having her walk him and had absolutely zero worries. I will definitely be using her again in the future for all my dog walking needs.”

“My experience with Allison has been wonderful thus far and will continue to use her services as long as she’s willing. Punctual and communicates well!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently care for my black Lab, Lexi, and have previous experience working at a pet store, where I helped care for animals and learned the importance of patience, safety, and attention to detail. As a Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Alumni at Colorado State University, I’m passionate about animal care and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I recently graduated from Colorado State University and now have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be highly available for pet care. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I’m happy to work around their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to giving your pets lots of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand every pet has different needs and routines, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether in your home or out on walks, I’ll provide patient, attentive care and treat your pet like family. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and always happy to send regular photo updates for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been my family and friends’ “go-to” dog sitter for over 10 years and enjoy every minute. Dogs bring such a joyful energy into our lives, and I would love to bring that same joyful energy to your pups! I just moved to the area and am currently working PRN, so I have incredible flexibility. I’m available every morning, except for Thursdays, where I’m available after 9:30AM. I have no patients at lunch time either! I’m free most weekends as well if you would need a dog-sitter for the weekend. Super flexible! I am on your team in the way you need me to care for your dog. I am happy to help with walking, cleaning up after, playing, you name it :)

“Nate was awesome! He took great care of our three dogs! Took them on walks and made sure all their needs were met!! Would highly recommend! Communication was awesome.”

Sharon M.

“Jake absolutely adores Shelby! She went out of her way to meet us before the walk (Christmas night) and I really appreciated that. Jake is in good hands with her and I’m so glad we found her! Definitely will be using Shelby regularly.”
