Dog Walking Mapleville

About: I’ve had pets since I was young & have always been a big animal nut. I’ve had all kinds of animals as an adult once I was on my own, including cats, dogs, ferrets, bearded dragons, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, & bunnies! And I’ve loved them all greatly! I’m also a mom to 2 teens so I’m used to messy, fast-paced days & thinking quick on my feet. I volunteer at my town’s animal shelter & I have also been trusted to sit for friends’ pets (which included farm animals). My biggest concern for any animal is their safety & well-being (both physical & mental). I am self-employed & am lucky enough to choose my hours, so I have wide availability. I do have a child that I drive to & from school but I’m open to discussing what your needs are & how to make it all work. I’m ready to give your animal everything they need & am comfortable with most anything, including cleanup, feedings, habitat cleaning, & medications. I believe in respecting your home & privacy — I’m just in it to care for your family member!

“Marissa is fantastic! Our fur baby instantly loved her. I would recommend her for dog walking.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a teenager, 10 plus years and have been around animals since the day I was born. I take pride in the care of other animals and treat them like my own. I have loved and cared for cats and dogs of all sizes. Whether being taken care of in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family. I currently work full time but I am available on weekends. I work 8:30 am-5:00 pm so am available if needed early mornings before work or after work. 1 week a month I work 10:30am-7:00 pm so would be available that week before 10:30 am. I have a fenced in front yard for dogs to play and stay safe in, my dog is currently crate trained so if your dog needs to be crated I am able to do that as well. I make sure all things dogs/cats shouldn’t have are out of site in my home. My dog is great with dogs and cats.

About: I have had a love for dogs ever since I was a child. My family got our first when I was 5 and since then we have had three others that we have adopted as well. With those dogs obviously came a lot of taking care of them, as well as playing with them. Along with my own dogs, I have also volunteered/worked at an animal shelter for around 2 years, where I would take the dogs out each day, give them food and water, and play with them until they hopefully found a forever home. While working at the shelter, I also fell in love with some of the dogs so I fostered around 25 of the dogs during my time at the shelter until they found a family. I am currently just working here and there for my dad while I am home for the summer, so I am available to take in your dog whenever. I have no set schedule with any other work, so whenever I’m needed, I will be there. I have a very large backyard for your dog to run around in, and two extremely friendly dogs who would love to meet new friends. I also am very used to crating dogs because of working at the shelter so if that is what your dog needs then consider it done.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up with my first dog, a Pit Bull and Chocolate Lab mix, who was with me from birth until I was 16. I helped care for her throughout her life and developed a really special bond with her. I also have a new dog who is mostly Pit Bull, and I take care of him regularly. I’ve also cared for friends dogs and currently walk a Golden Retriever multiple times a week throughout the summer. I’m comfortable with different personalities and love building a genuine connection with every dog I meet. I’m currently a student but have a pretty flexible schedule where I have much free time during the week and full availability on the weekends. I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’m very attentive and make sure pets get the care, attention and love they need. I also treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own.

About: I have worked with dog trainers so I know some training skills needed to help with certain behaviors. I can administer meds if needed. I have had farm animals so I have that experience as well. I am looking to fill my time with some amazing animals because of my love for them. I take care of everything from farm animals to cats. I can watch cat friendly dogs in my home. I have gates and a safe environment. I am more than willing to watch pets in the clients home as well to make them feel comfortable and help with routine.

“This was our second time having Gary help us out, and he even accommodated a same-day request! He’s reliable and communicates well. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in good hands. We’re so grateful for his help and highly recommend him!”

“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who has had a passion for pets for as long as I can remember. My first dog, Rex, a Doberman, taught me just how much love, patience, and responsibility go into caring for an animal. While taking care of pets isn’t always easy, I truly believe every moment is worth it. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat each one with the same care and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’d be honored to provide reliable, compassionate care for your furry friend. Yes! I currently am in college for nursing, and I also work at a bagel shop so this would be something I would attend after or before attending those priorities! A fenced yard is definitely helpful and in others homes I will respectful there home and do anything needed to make sure there pet is safe.

“Melissa is awesome! She bonded quickly with our puppy - she fed him and brought him on his daily afternoon walk.”

“Lesley is amazing! We contacted her on short notice when my fiance was suddenly returning back to work. We loved that she had the experience to provide training walks for our little guy who is still learning his leash manners. She was flexible with our schedules, and keeps in contact with updates/videos throughout. She has provided us great advice on how to be better dog parents while on our walks. In just a few visits our baby is already behaving so much better on his walks! Do yourself a favor and hire Lesley!”

“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
