Dog Walking Maple Leaf

“Angela has been walking our dog Maggie 2-3 times per week for a few months and she is great! She’s on time and communicative in advanced with any changes to our weekly schedule. When we run into Angela in the neighborhood on our own walks, Maggie is so excited to see her!!!”

“Tons of photos and update during the walk. Seems like my pup had a great time with her.”

“Jimena is fantastic! She was able to fit us in at the last minute for dog walking. I appreciate that she asked a lot of questions to make sure that she knew exactly what we needed. She has helped us out a few times now and each time she leaves detailed notes and seems to truly care about the well-being of my pup!”

“Daniel did an amazing job with my energetic and strong 1.5 yr old golden retriever, Ranger! Ranger loved his walks with Daniel and slept lots afterwards, which was perfect! Daniel sent great photos of their walks and was very responsive and flexible, which I really appreciate. We will use him again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs for friends, clients, and through referrals, both professionally and personally. I have provided dog sitting and house sitting for anything from a few days to three weeks at a time. I am comfortable caring for multiple dogs and have looked after three dogs at once. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am responsible, patient, attentive, and respectful of each dog’s individual routine and needs. I am currently a student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I am happy to work with each client’s schedule and their pet’s usual routine. I care for pets in their own home and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent while their owners are away. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, outdoor time, medications, and any other specific needs. I am respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I prioritize keeping them safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Qian is incredible ~ would give 10 stars if I could!! She is very reliable and excellent with communicating, which really relieves any anxieties I have about my dog while I'm away. My dog loves her and really enjoys his walks!! You can tell that Qian truly cares for the animals she meets, and that makes a huge difference. I know that if I have any questions I can reach her quickly. We are delighted and recommend Qian wholeheartedly!!”

“Sami worked well with our two high-energy pups. She was willing to meet before the initial walk to introduce herself to the dogs and our living space. Would happily book again. Thanks Sami!”

“Cathleen continues to be the most delightful dog sitter. Her pics are always the best and she truly connects with the pups, and they’re always relaxed when I get home”

“Carly was great!! Responsive and professional. I made an error and had not updated my new address causing her to go to my old address. Thankful not to far away. She was very understanding and I really appreciated that. Thank you Carly and I will definitely reach out with any future dog care needs.”

“Sydney does a great job walking our anxious and reactive dog, and he is always excited to see her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I had two dogs as a kid and now I own an amazing German Shepard Husky mix. I love and enjoy being around dogs and puppies. I work as a catering contractor. My job is very flexible and I create my own schedule. I have lots of free time to take care of your dogs. I have a large fenced yard at my house for my dog to run around in. I am good with crates and crate training if needed.

About: My family had many Westies. I’ve rescued a Dachshund, Papillon-Chihuahua, and Cocker Spaniel. Dogs love me, and I them. When you can’t be with them, let me give your dog love and you a little vacation. I’m looking for a p/t job, so my availability may not be as listed-please ask. I’d love to shuffle items around to be your pet’s sitter! I have a small outdoor area near my place. There are 2 groups of 5-6 stairs each from the sidewalk to my front door. Please provide a harness for your doggie. A doggie companion is always desired and will be treated like a diamond!

About: After many years of raising my own dogs, caring for pups feels second nature to me. I keep my group small, with two dogs at a time so each one gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles. I carefully pair well mannered, non dominant pups so they all feel safe and at ease. My home is set up like a boutique dog hotel, with pillows, blankets, and cozy spaces to relax. So they get a vacation while you are on vacation! To maintain a clean and comfortable vibe dogs should be fully potty trained and free of marking behaviors. Located between Maple Leaf and Green Lake, my neighborhood is truly dog heaven with endless trails and parks for twice daily walks, sniffing, and fun adventures. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home which means your dog will get plenty of attention, walks and breaks during the day. I offer scheduled walks and a relaxed environment so they feel safe and at home. I also keep dog parents updated with photos and messages so you feel confident your dog is happy while you're away.

“Caralyn was great! She asked thoughtful questions about my pup during our meet and greet. She communicated before and after picking him up and taking him for a walk and sent pictures.”

About: For the past three years, I have worked at a daycare and boarding facility and I’ve managed two different locations for the past year. I have experience in day to day care, managing food and medication’s, and even some grooming experience. I’m currently switching from working part-time at a doggy daycare to rover full time, I’ll be available for any overnight stays with notice, and walks any day of the week and any times of the day are available. For in home care, I can guarantee a safe stable environment that adheres to the pets set schedule or routine. Pictures and videos, both as the stay goes on or on demand if extra comfort is needed. Multiple walks throughout the day, pictures for comfort and assurance. Same goes for day-to-day visits.

One of the benefits of the area that I live is that we are surrounded by nature so there are many animals here. Sometimes when I open my front door in the morning there are deer in front of my gate waiting to see what will happen at breakfast time. Travel/Work/experience: 1993-1994 Worked for a historical museum in Ukraine. Was responsible for finding and conducting video interviews with Ukrainian Holocaust survivors.

I have slowly grown my school into one of the largest language schools in Slovakia. I currently have a staff of over 50 teachers teaching English, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian as well as Slovak for the many foreign managers living and working in multinational companies. My school cooperates with most of the large multinational companies in the area. I also cooperate quite closely with the local and state police departments as well as the mayor and city council all of whom are my students. While I will be house-sitting for you I will be managing my private Language School online. I will always have time to take care of the homes that I sit for as well as the pets regular routine. I always try my best to maintain the same pet schedule. 1st of all I LOVE ANIMALS! Our home in Slovakia is located up on the hill in the woods overlooking the lake. We have a large orchard and our nearest neighbor is about 300 m from us. We currently have 7 cats in various phases of either living, hanging out, or adding us to their busy social/feeding routine. During the Summer I take care of 2 friends' homes so I take care of their dogs, cats, fish, and even a very old turtle. as well. I travel to the U.S. regularly to visit friends/family each and this website is a perfect fit for my lifestyle as I manage my school remotely. To be quite honest, for all of the travelling I have done over the past 30 years, I have not travelled nor experienced the U.S. much which is another reason I have joined this website. I thought it would be a great way to see the U.S. as well as spend time with lots of great pets! I could take you anywhere you wanted on the Budapest metro blindfolded but have never been to Washington D.C. for example. Please feel free to contact me so we can speak in person about your pets, home and your requirements.

“Allie was a wonderful dog walker! She was a great communicator and took some very cute pictures. She also was super kind when my dog was having some potty troubles, so she definitely goes above and beyond!”

About: I love dogs and have gone through numerous training courses and often enjoy reading books about communication with dogs and animals. Its now been a little while since my dog Athena was with me and I'm not ready to have a dog myself, so I want to hang with other people's dogs to get my doggo kicks :-) Whether you've got a rambunctious and chaotic puppy, a slow moving senior, or anything in between I'd love to walk and care for your dog. Big or small! I primarily do this to meet new and friendly dogs and pets, and it's something novel to do. I offer conscience house sitting, with a high degree of care for your pets. If I'm house-sitting I enjoy coming to your place and being with your dog in their own space - where they're going to feel most comfortable. I mostly work from home so I have a lot of freedom and flexibility to care for your pets. For house-sitting, I prefer stays that are at least 3 days in length. I have an extremely flexible schedule and will generally have ample time to play with or care for your dog. Whether it's a high needs dog to requires diligent care, a high energy pupper, or just a middle-aged dog that likes to sit on the couch I'll have the time and flexibility to stimulate and care for your dog. My schedule for house-sitting About 3 days a week I have to work out of the house for a few hours, it's usually just over 3 hours that I'd be gone. Less than once a week I have to leave the house for about 7 hours. Unless I'm with your pets for a full week chances are good I won't even have to work that 7 hour day. If leaving your pet for 7 hours once a week is too long just let me know and I can often break it up into 2 days. I always prefer to meet a new family (pets and people) before starting any new house sitting role. This way we can discuss any concerns you have and we both can make sure we feel comfortable and confident with the arrangement. And most importantly I get a chance to meet your pup and ensure we all enjoy each other and that I can meet their needs! I'll ask to take your dog for a short stroll by myself so I can know how they behave on a leash. This helps me set an expectation we can have a discussion if there are any concerns. Additionally I think it helps condition the dog to being comfortable with me.

“Lauren helped us with a couple last minute dog walks and took great care of our puppy! She gave her extra cuddles and a great walk that left her happily exhausted from the good exercise and sniffs. We appreciated her thoughtful and clear communication and updates. We will definitely work with her again.”

“Hannah is a great dog walker and use her on a recurring basis. My dog is a bit anti-social and Hannah stuck by to earn her trust! Highly recommend.”
