Dog Walking Macedon

About: I can’t remember a time when I did not have a pet. I my lifetime, I have had dogs, cats, and enough other animals to form a menagerie. I currently have 4 fur babies at home (2 dogs and 2 cats) and pet sit on a regular basis for a local family that has 4 cats and one dog. Please give me all the snuggles!!! I am usually the first person friends reach out to when their baby needs a petsitter. I even once was entrusted to dog-sit a friend’s elderly pooch that had an extensive medication schedule that included chemotherapy. I am happy to provide your fur baby with a mature, loving experience that you will be ecstatic with. I am currently working full time in Columbia but would be very happy to check in on your babies before work or after and on the weekends. Please reach out so we can come up with a schedule that works for both of us. From the time I enter your home, your fur baby is the focus of my attention. I specialize in providing the individualized attention your baby is used to getting from you. Play, walks, treats, someone to sit on the couch and pet? I am here to give the love your baby wants. I will take their lead in the interaction. I will also send pictures of your baby because I know how special they are to receive when you are away.

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and have loved them for just as long. I don't have any official experience, but I will love and protect your babies like they're my own. I can also watch reptiles as I have a bearded dragon and a yellow belly slider. I'm currently a stay at home mom for a beautiful boy. I will be doing any pet care while he is at school. 8am-1pm, or later if you really need someone to check on your baby. I will do my best to take care of your animals the same way you would so your pets feel right at home with me. I have a cat with FIV so medication (pills) will not be an issue, and I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve for animals that don't like pills (one of my dogs hates them).

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to older, more relaxed pets, as well as multi-pet households. I specialize in in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space while you’re away. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m naturally very attentive and patient, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I take the time to build trust so they feel safe with me. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well. I also have experience caring for kittens, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, ferrets, chickens, and ducks so I’m very comfortable with homes that have a mix of animals. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own and genuinely care about their happiness and well-being. I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight house sitting, and I can adjust to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to be dependable and on time for every visit. I primarily provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I always prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels calm and secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or specific preferences your pet has. I’m very attentive to behavior and will let you know right away if anything seems off. I’m also clean, respectful of your space, and will treat your home with care. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and safe.

About: Hi there! I’m Erica — a lifelong animal lover who has shared her life with all kinds of pets. Today, I’m lucky enough to have one rescue dog and two rescue cats, and they are truly my babies. I don’t consider them pets; they’re my children. They follow me from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, and they bring so much joy and personality into my life. Before adopting my own crew, I fostered dogs for a rescue group, which gave me experience with pups of all backgrounds, personalities, and needs. That time taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals feel safe, understood, and deeply cared for. When you trust me with your fur children, my number one priority is giving you security and peace of mind while you’re away. I want you to know they’ll be cared for with the same love, attention, and respect you give them every day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding routines, or special instructions, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cherished. We would love to welcome your fur babies into our extended family and treat them as if they were our own. We truly love to love on four‑legged fur babies. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life. My own rescue dog and two rescue cats are deeply woven into my daily routine — from morning feedings and playtime to evening snuggles and winding down together. Because I’m so used to giving consistent love, attention, and structure to my own pets, adding care for your pet fits seamlessly into my schedule. I’m home regularly throughout the day, which allows me to provide reliable check‑ins, feeding, litter box care, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet needs quiet company, interactive play, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I’m able to incorporate their needs smoothly into my weekly rhythm. In my own home, caring for animals is part of my everyday rhythm. My rescue dog and two rescue cats are truly my babies, so I’m constantly tuned in to their needs — feeding routines, fresh water, clean litter, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, extending that same level of attention to your pet feels completely natural. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comforting as possible. I follow your instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, litter box care, medications, playtime, or quiet companionship. I’m patient with shy or sensitive pets and always move at their pace, making sure they feel safe and understood. I also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always the same — to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and gentleness I give my own.

“Ally is great with my GSD whether they take a walk or play in the yard. She’s patient when he’s not happy to go back in his crate. Definitely a go to when I need someone to care for him.”

About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

“Samira has been a jewel! She is reliable and just an awesome person. Bentley loves her and we will miss her dearly! Thank you Samira for being consistently there for Bentley! You rock!!!”

About: Hi! I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in middle school. For four years, I assisted in end-of-life care for a senior dog along with being a farmhand for two horses. My previous job in Florida was at an animal shelter, and consisted of feeding, cleaning, and medicating up to 40 kittens/cats/dogs a day. I am available any time, any day of the week. I’m currently job searching for a position at a shelter, so in the meantime I would love to meet your animals and make friends! I live in an apartment with my partner and two kittens. I feed them twice a day, with a capsule of Proviable split between them. They are strictly indoor kitties, and I have given them both a flea bath.
