Dog Walking Marion

About: I've been working with animals for the past 5 Years! I started as a dog daycare attendant for a year where I learned how to read dog body language and behavior as well as how to handle emergency situations with dogs. I then became a full time pet sitter on my own and would watch all kinds of animals from household reptiles, small animals, cat, and of course dogs! After 1 year of this I switched to part time sitter to become a full time dog trainer! I trained for a year before becoming a manager at a pet hotel. I love my job to this day and still care for dogs and cats at my current job! I'm currently a stay at home mom for my babies so I am always home a ready to provide care! I usually (as weather permits of course) take a morning walk between 8-10am with my dog and my boarding friends, hang out around the house and backyard until our evening walk before bed around 8-10pm after the sun is down! I am constantly boarding dogs in my home so I do have extra crates if needed otherwise I only have 1 dog of my own who is a St. Bernard and is pretty lazy so he will be there to keep my boarding dogs company but also knows to nap if the other dogs need a break from playing. When I go to clients homes I always find a way to occupy my time with my clients and keep my attention on those animals!

“Renee is very nice. She went above beyond for my dog and also made sure she was set for the next visits.”

About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs . I pay very close attention to their needs and will make sure that they get the attention they deserve . If they get dirty while on my watch , I will make sure they are returned clean to you . I had a dog watching business during my 4 years of college and would like to continue Post-Grad. I work from home full time so I will be able to play and walk your furry friend often . I always keep a stash of treats and will willingly give out cuddles and belly rubs. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs. He would love a friend to play with while I’m working . I have a pet of my own that I care for daily . I walk him 3-4 times a day on my work breaks and we go to the dog park on my off days . I have a large fenced yard that can work for a lot of outside playtime and frequent potty breaks ! There is plenty of space to have the zoomies and a water bowl to stay hydrated .

About: I've owned at least eight dogs in my life, and taken care of at least six of my friends and family's dogs multiple times. I am currently attending college, but have very few classes, so I have plenty of time to care for animals. I also donate plasma two days a week, but it never lasts longer than an hour, so it shouldn't effect my care. I ensure my animals have plenty of time to use the bathroom frequently, and am very good at following instructions given to me for the animal.

“Samantha did an excellent job walking and feeding my dog while I was away. My dog has a sensitive stomach and unfortunately she had two accidents. Samantha helped clean up the accidents and gave my dog probiotics to help her stomach. I would highly recommend Samantha she was highly reliable and provided frequent updates.”

About: I have always had dogs in my life. From mutts to German Shepards to bully breeds, I love them all! I am comfortable walking and hanging out with any and all friends and will handle all breeds with compassion and the care they deserve I am available any day from 9am to 1pm. I am a stay at home mom so I am available during school hours during the week! I will play and hang out with your friend for however long you would like me there to make them comfortable. I will walk dogs as much as is needed for their activity level

“My Bailey's home away from home!! Ok so a little background- my dog Bailey is a rescue who was physically abused by her previous owner. For this reason, she is utterly terrified of new people because she has a natural distrust for people following early life events. Kristen and her family originally spent time coming to my house to walk Bailey and spend time with her, and Bailey had been doing well with the new dog walkers! However, after learning about Bailey's concerns, Kristen thought it may improve Bailey's situation to have her spend the day at doggy daycare, and let me tell you, she and her family have done an amazing job taking care of Bailey!!! I've never seen her so happy every day when I come to pick her up (and probably even more happy to be dropped off :P). It's only been a few weeks and I can already tell Kristen and her family are making her feel at home away from home, and carefully allowing her to interact with other dogs and humans when Bailey is ready. I've been absolutely overjoyed seeing her improvement in socialization skills, and, really, just how happy and comfortable she is; makes my day! On a side note, following several meetings with a Behavioralist, I'm actively training her to help improve her anxiety and fear toward people. Kristen understands how important this is and has been ensuring Bailey is trained (in the same way I'm training her for continuity sake) while at doggy daycare, since I don't have the opportunity to train her several times throughout the day during the work week. Her obedience has improved, and better yet, she's starting to see new people with a different outlook; she's excited to make new friends! Thank you Kristen!!”

About: I've grown up around dogs and currently have three of my own, so caring for them has been part of my daily life for years. I've also dog sat for family and friends, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening check-ins. I'm happy to communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for both them and their pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions provided by owners and make sure pets stay on their normal routine. I'll always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

I follow your guidelines for feeding, walks, and play, as well as administer medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home tidy and ensure your pet is comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s staying overnight or popping in for check-ins, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and happiness.

About: I grew up with two yellow labs before getting one of my own when I was 15, so I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’m currently working from home so I’ll have plenty of time to stop by and play with your dog or take them for walks while you’re away! My schedule is pretty open so I’m free to let your dog out as often as you want, my apartment also has a fenced in dog park.

About: I have experience taking care of animals from big to small, young and old. I have experience with the elderly, disabled, administering medication, and special dietary needs. I have a special interest in exotic animals. I have worked with all kinds of reptiles and hope to work with more! I am currently a full-time college student and go to school Monday and Wednesday from 9-3:30 every week. A have a small window of free time from 12:30-1:30 on the days I have school. I make sure my client's home and in the same condition as they were when I entered. I take pride in knowing that any messes, hair, accidents, or any incidents get cleaned up in a quick and concise manner. I make sure to give the animals I care for an enriching environment. I make a point to play with and give affection to the animals for at least 30 minutes every visit.

About: Feel free to ask me about pricing! After being diagnosed with a chronic illness, I turned pet sitting into my full time passion. Working from home gives me the flexibility to care for your babies any time and anywhere. With over nine years of experience, I have been a dedicated caretaker for animals of all sizes. My services include walking, bathing, feeding, sitting, and boarding pets. I have a lot of experience with elderly, reactive, and ill pets. When house-sitting, I ensure your pets are well-cared for with regular walks, feeding, watering, and bathing as needed, along with additional household tasks like watering plants. During drop-in visits, I provide feeding, watering, and playtime for at least 30 minutes, extending the time if your pets need extra attention and care. I particularly enjoy daily dog walks, whether it's through a local park or a favorite trail specified by the owner. Every service comes with plenty of photos and updates, keeping you connected with your beloved pets. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I develop with each animal. I truly assess and respond to their needs and emotions, going beyond the basic requirements because I genuinely care. For your convenience, I offer same-day booking and cancellation to accommodate your schedule. If you have any questions, please feel free to email, call, or text me at any time. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! If I am booked for your pet, they are my main priority. My routine revolves around them as if they were my own. The more time I get to spend with furry friends the better! Each pet is different and require different levels of attention. I am happy to fill in for the owner in any way that is needed. Sometimes that looks like standing outside with the pet during potty time. Sometimes that looks like ensuring nothing in left out on the ground or counters. I also do not take any pet to a place that is unsafe or that I or the owner are unfamiliar with. Safety first!

“Kaci has been an absolute pleasure to book with. I’m at ease knowing Atlas is taken care of.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs — and raising my own Doberman, Skyla and Chihuahua, Bunny — I truly can’t imagine life without them! Caring for dogs isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely love. Dog care is my full-time business, so I’m home throughout the week to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I do not kennel dogs unless requested by the owner, but if your dog is crate-trained or prefers their own kennel setup, I’m happy to accommodate that in my living room space. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised play, exercise, and lots of tail wags. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns — I’m always happy to chat and make sure you feel confident leaving your pup in my care!

About: I've had pets my whole life and find no other pleasure than taking care of them like my children. I currently have two dogs, and would have 10 more if I could. I will treat your animal with care and respect and give them undivided attention until you get home. Communication is a must so you will know exactly how your pet is doing at all times along with pictures so you can be rest assured your fur baby is doing great! I am very aware of my surroundings and will keep your pet my first priority when walking. During a walk, other animals can come out of nowhere and I am prepared to handle that. I am ready to start my new pet sitting experience, I know your pet will love me.

About: Years of experience taking care of my own cats. I have had several throughout the years as well as dogs. Love all animals like they were my own I will be soon working part time so I will have time to play with your cats and dogs when needed and show them love. I would care for your pets in your home as if they were my own, with love and compassion. I would make sure they felt lived and cared for.
