Dog Walking Lyon Park

About: I have loved dogs since I could remember. I’ve had pups of my own and currently have a small Yorkie who I adore, but grew up with a German shepherd who was the best. I’m a nurse and am looking to maximize my puppy time on my time off! I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I’m more than happy to administer medication if needed. Whatever you need, I’m here for you! I’m happy to do drop ins, walks, feeding, whatever you need! I only work 3 days per week and have a lot of flexibility for morning and mid day walks. I live in a pet friendly building with a dog run. I’m happy to crate your pups if that is how they feel safest. I have one 7 year old Yorkie.

“Sam came by to meet & greet our pup Zoey ahead of scheduling weekly walks. She is clearly well tuned to Zoey’s needs & takes good care of pups writ large!”

“Jessie took great care of my bulldog, Dozer, who can be stubborn at times! She is detail-oriented and followed all instructions for his midday walk. I will gladly rebook!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, and each experience has taught me how to be patient, loving, and responsible. I looked after my sweet poodle for 17 years, especially when she grew older and developed Alzheimer’s. It was a challenging time, but I cared for her with all my heart. I also helped care for dogs adopted by my family. My elderly aunt adopted a street dog named Fred, and since she couldn’t manage walks and vet visits on her own, I was the one who took care of him. Later, my grandmother adopted another rescue named Bruce, and I became his main walking companion because of her limited mobility. Currently, I live with my host family, and they have a wonderful rescue dog named Rosie. Whenever they travel, I’m fully responsible for her care — from walks to cuddles — and she has truly become my best friend. These experiences taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, whether they’re seniors, rescues, or playful companions. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a very flexible routine, which allows me to adapt easily to your pet’s needs. I can adjust my schedule to make sure they’re cared for and happy. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety and comfort. I make sure to follow their usual routines, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so they feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m always careful with doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks. Whether in my client’s home or with a pet I’m sitting, I treat their space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I do everything with responsibility and care.

“Anne has been a godsend since my return to the office 5 days a week. She is a great communicator and sends really cute photos. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Haley, and I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I’ve been lucky to grow up with dogs since I was five, and they’ve always been a huge part of my family. Right now, I help care for my sweet senior girl, who’s taught me just how special every stage of a dog’s life can be. I started walking and caring for dogs in high school, and it quickly became one of my favorite things to do. Whether it’s an energetic pup who’s ready to explore or a senior dog who just needs some extra love and a slow stroll, I’m here to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they deserve. I know how much your dog means to you, and I’ll treat them like my own—because that’s how I’ve always believed dogs should be treated. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make their day a little brighter! I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to be around and available for dog care. I also have the weekends completely free, so I can dedicate extra time to walks, playtime, and giving your dog the attention they deserve. I take great care in ensuring the safety of every dog I look after. I always keep dogs on a leash during walks, and your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I treat every dog as if they were my own—ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for at all times. You can trust that I will always act in the best interest of your pet and provide clear communication throughout the care process.

“I'm so grateful we found Sophie to help out with our dog Meli! Sophie was flexible and able to come walk our dog a few times per week while I was traveling and my husband was working long hours. She is great with dogs, trustworthy, and communicative. The cute photos she sent of Meli were the icing on the cake! If we are back in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Sophie again.”

About: I grew up with a dog and cat and pet sat for people since 2013. I took a pre-vet class throughout high school where I learned about feeding, cutting nails, grooming, restraint, etc. I also worked as a vet assistant for a few years where I expanded on those skills and learned what to look out for and how to care for any type of pet. I work from home a decent bit and/or work half days so I am pretty flexible during the week days. My work is also flexible so I can prioritize the times you need me to be there. Since I have 2 cats in a one bedroom apartment, I won't be bringing pets to my place. When I go to your home, I will try to make the pets feel comfortable and be a happy smiling face to them. Of course, I will give them some love, pets, food, water, or whatever you and the pet need from me!

“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”

Harrison L.

“Jennifer was dependable and communicative. We recommend her!”

“Cheryl is so great with our pup, and super attentive. He had an upset stomach when she came to take him for a midday walk; she went above and beyond, cleaning him up and his playpen area, and immediately let me know with all the details I needed to check in with our vet. Wonderful!”

About: I’m a proud dog dad to Rambo, my Golden Retriever, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. Raising him has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, leash manners, and all the attention and care that comes with being a dog owner. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors, including dogs that can be reactive in certain situations. This has taught me to be patient, pay close attention to body language, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and adapt my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and constant playtime, while others prefer their space and a calmer environment. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the same way I’d want someone to treat Rambo—with patience, attention, care, and plenty of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with Rambo, my Golden Retriever. My days already include walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time dedicated to him, so caring for another pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I always make sure they’re introduced safely and comfortably to Rambo.

“You should hire Paige! She has been great with my nervous rescue dog and is so patient with him. I feel like I’m leaving him with someone who cares about him as much as I do. I cant thank Paige enough!”

“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”

Shelly P.

“Rachelle is amazing! She does a great job with our dog Bo and he is always happy and tired out by the time we get home. I would highly recommend!”
