Dog Walking Loyal Heights

“Carissa did an excellent job with our dog, George. She gave him a proper walk on relatively short notice, gave timely updates, and treated him well! Definitely recommend Carissa to anyone in need of a dog walker!”

“Paula was super responsive and showed up promptly for her walks with Brandy. We got very detailed cards after each walk and Brandy was a happy pup when we got home. We’ve already booked Paula for future walks and dog sitting!”

About: I grew up raising puppies and have had dogs around me my entire life. But more importantly, I know firsthand that not every dog is an easygoing, "walk-in-the-park" pup—and that’s my specialty. My personal dog is a 16-year-old sweet senior whom I’ve raised since he was 5 weeks old. He is reactive in his old age, and now requires additional patience and understanding. He also developed some arthritis and requires daily medication management. Because of my daily life with him, I deeply understand the patience, environmental awareness, and gentle care that "high-maintenance" or sensitive pets need. Whether your dog is a rambunctious puppy, a reactive rescue needing a calm handler, or a golden-years senior who needs a slow pace and precise medical care, they will be in safe, experienced hands with me. 🗓️ Weekday Schedule (Mon–Fri) Midday & Lunch Breaks (11 AM – 2 PM): Prime Time! Perfect for workday walks, quick check-ins, or mid-day potty breaks. Mornings & Evenings: Fully available for early walks, dinner feeds, or bedtime drop-ins. Flexible Workdays: I work remotely with a light meeting schedule. With a little advance notice, I can easily accommodate mid-afternoon drop-ins or last-minute walk requests! ✈️ Travel & Notice Preferences Short-Notice Friendly: If I’m in town and my calendar is open, I’m happy to take last-minute requests. Travel Buffer: I do travel occasionally for work. My Rover calendar is kept up-to-date, but recurring weekly clients get priority booking and advanced notice of any away dates! 1. Home & Environment (For Drop-In Visits) When I enter your home, your pet’s safety and your home’s security are my top priorities. 🔒 Double-Door Protocol: I am extremely mindful of door-dashers. I ensure all entryways and gates are fully secured behind me before letting pets out or off-leash in a yard. 🔑 Home Care & Discretion: I handle home keys, smart locks, and alarm systems with absolute care. Your property will always be locked and secured when I leave. 🧼 Clean & Mindful: I leave your space exactly as I found it. Paws get wiped on rainy days, mess items are cleaned up, and dirty food/water bowls are washed after every visit. 2. Safety Practices & Walk Rules Because I handle my own reactive senior dog daily, safety on walks is second nature to me: 🦮 Equipment Checks: Before stepping foot outside, I double-check that leashes, collars, and harnesses are properly fitted and securely latched. I use fixed 6-foot leashes (no retractable leashes) for maximum control and safety. 🛑 Strict "Zero-Greeting" Policy: I never allow on-leash greetings with unfamiliar dogs or strangers. I constantly scan the environment for triggers, cross streets early, and give your dog a low-stress, quiet walk. 💧 Weather & Hydration Aware: I monitor pavement temperatures in hot weather and always carry fresh water during outdoor visits. 3. Information I Need Before Our First Visit (The "Meet & Greet") To ensure your pet gets the safest, happiest care possible, please share: 💊 Medication Routines: Any exact dosages, schedule, or preferred trick to administering pills/liquids. ⚠️ Triggers & Anxieties: Does your pet dislike loud noises, bicycles, other dogs, or certain touch zones (e.g., paws, ears)? 📍 Emergency Contacts: Your preferred vet, the nearest 24/7 emergency vet clinic, and a local emergency contact. 🚪 Home Quirks: Any tricky locks, gate latches, or specific places your pet likes to hide when scared.

“Ami is the best! She is so reliable and always communicates well in advance about any potential schedule changes. We are lucky to have her as our regular walker!”

Devon L.

“The pugs seem to really enjoy the walks. I really love the notes afterwards they are detailed and she provides good info on what happened on the walk.”

Vanessa G.

“Courtney is great! Self sufficient and attention to detail. Excited to continue working with her!”

Alexa M.

“Brandon is amazing! So amazing he walks my dog for me on a semi regular basis.”

Angelina M.

“Katie has great communication and seemed to genuinely enjoy our dog. Anyone can walk a dog, but these are things that make the difference! We will definitely book with her again.”

Holly W.

“Emily is very patient with our adolescent rescue pup who can be cautious with strangers. She is very knowledgable and experienced with dogs, and that is very reassuring.”

Deborah T.

“We use Emily for weekly walks and occasional overnight stays with our teenage golden retriever Lincoln, who can be a (lovable) handful. We had a really hard time finding someone we trusted with him, but we never worry when he’s with Emily. She clearly loves him and treats him like her own dog. What’s impressed us most is how much thought she puts into their time together. She works training into their walks, takes him to different spots around the area, and even mixes in play time with her own dog. He comes home happy and tired in the best way. She also sends detailed updates throughout, which means a lot when we’re away overnight. We can’t recommend her enough!”

Carolina M.

“Desiree and Lucas took great care of our dog, great communicators, overall great experience!”

Tammy H.

“Allison took great care of our dog. She was reliable and punctual for his walk. She was prompt with communication and took many photos on their walk. Our dog responded very well to her calm demeanor when meeting her and melted into her arms. We will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all of my adult life - from nurturing my own fluff balls to taking care of my friends’, I’ve got you covered! I understand that each of them have their own personalities, preferences and quirks, and will work with you to make sure that they’re well taken care of while you’re away! I’m currently working remotely (east coast hours) in a laid back job, which gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets. I also get done at 2pm everyday, giving me a lot of time in the evenings. Not offering stays in my apartment currently (so that both my pets and yours are safe!) Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with plenty of enrichment and calm spaces for rest. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors securely closed, and double-check food, litter, and meds to avoid any mix-ups.

About: I am a life long animal lover who's had pets for as long as I can remember. From puppies and kittens to senior pets slowing down and needing more specific care and everything in between. I am a dog mom to a rescue Boston Terrier named Penelope. She was born with a minor leg defect and she has taught me so much about caring for pets with unique physical or medical needs. Whether it's playtime, enrichment, or potty breaks, I am excited to help make sure your pet is happy and well cared for. I'm a freelancer so I have flexibility to care for your pets on a weekly basis. I'm also available to provide weekend pet care as needed. I am available to care for your pets in your home so they can stay in their familiar environment. I'm happy to provide potty breaks, play time, enrichment and outside time. I can also provide pet related cleaning (litter boxes, yard cleanup etc) and feeding.

“Gabrielle is trustworthy and responsive. I’ve had her walk, and pet sit my senior dog and cat multiple times. She does a fantastic job with them. Absolutely recommend her highly.”

Monique H.

“Lauren was so accommodating to us when we needed a last minute walker for Opal. We really appreciate the care she showed to our precious pup and how quickly she responded to our messages. Looking forward to working with Lauren again the next time we need someone.”

Ted T.

“Julie was a fantastic dog walker for Jemma while we were out of town. This was our second time hiring her and no surprise, she was just as great. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly cares for Jemma. Her updates and photos gave us peace of mind, and it’s clear that Jemma loved her walks with Julie. Highly recommend!”
