Dog Walking McGovern Park

About: My dog care history began when I was in middle school and became caretaker for my family dog, Charlie (a Shiba inu mix). I have walked and cared for dogs of many different sizes and all ages both in my personal life and professionally. I have over 3 years if experience at doggy daycares. In my personal life I have cared for my dilute tortie Smokie for 7 of her 8 years. I have also cared for reptiles and amphibians at the Urban Ecology Center and am trained to handle snapping turtles. I love animals of all kinds. I work part time and currently have a very open availability. I am willing to work weekends and holidays. Please ask me if I'm available! I believe in the importance of safety, health, and enrichment. Your animals needs - both physical and emotional - are a priority to me. I put in the time and effort your animal deserves.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I have for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level rather than treating every pet the same. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m able to make time throughout the week for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care while following each pet’s routine and individual needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent. I’m also happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.

“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”

About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.

“Krystal continues to do an excellent job walking our dog, Taters. Taters is always excited to see Krystal coming, and Krystal has been flexible and accommodating when our schedules changed and we needed to reschedule walks. She’s easy to work with and is clearly great with dogs!”

About: Ive had dogs all my life, my family always had a couple dogs no matter what happens. I come from a big family who loves a lot of house and companionship. And dogs make the best companions. I will take extra good care of you loved one and I will make sure you are in great hands when I take care of them! I have school Monday through thursday but I have time in between classes to run home and walk them if need be. I work the weekends 3pm to 11pm Friday and satruday, then Sunday 7am to 3pm I will take great care to make sure they are comfy and have everything they need. I will play with them as much as they want and I will ensure that they're safe

About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I’m an animal lover who understands that pets are family. While I don’t have pets of my own, one of the reasons I love pet sitting is that I get to enjoy spoiling them and spending quality time with them! I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of love while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping them on their normal routine and in an environment where they feel at ease. I’ve been pet sitting for family members for the past 10 years and also spent some time dog walking during college. I’m now looking to take on some additional opportunities to spend time with and care for other pet families in my community. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your furry family members with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I currently work a hybrid full time job, I am home 3 days a week and in office 2. Those days are flexible from week to week which allows me to be flexible with the schedule of your pets! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when inviting someone into your home to care for your pets. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pets very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any household guidelines you provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure to help prevent any escapes or accidents. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and being well cared for. My goal is to leave your home just as I found it while giving your pets plenty of love and attention!

“First time having a non family member watch my westie. With Sydney’s first post, I felt instantly at ease and was able to truly enjoy my time away. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 7 and currently have one of my own! Big or small I’ll watch them all I work from home 3 days per week, and am happy to provide care for your animals first thing in the morning, mid day, or in the evening. I am also available for weekend care! I have fenced yard at my own home and in my clients homes I will take care of you dog or cat per your instructions only. I am happy to share many photos!

“Shane was very kind and responsive. Excellent care with walking our dog. Highly recommend for any future needs!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. They show us so much love. Who are we not to give it back in return. Since the passing of our long time dog (Roc,15) we’ve been watching our friends and family dogs while they’re out of town. In each case the owners return with their dogs a little hesitant about wanting to return home. LOL. I work from home and I have no plans of switching to another job that would require me to go into the office. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your big and little babies. I also like to take walks at minimum twice a day. This is a perfect time for your fur babies to stretch their legs. After a nice long walk I clean their paws to make sure they leave the yucky stuff outside. I have a designated area where they can sleep. However, I like to keep them close to me during the day while I’m working. I think it sets them up for a positive visit. They immediately become part of the family. I also have the flexibility to take them out throughout the day. There is a highly recommended veterinarian within a two minute driving distance and maybe a ten minute walk in the event of an emergency.

About: My name is Alisha. I work as a professional dog trainer. I have 7 years of professional experience with both cats and dogs. I have also house-sat multiple times and have great references! I know how to give cats and dogs proper care and attention. I have worked with hundreds of animals professionally through my work in multiple animal shelters as a kennel tech and shelter manager. I am working towards certification in dog training too! While watching or walking your pup I will be sure to watch for opportunities to learn! When it comes to your pets care you deserve someone who knows all about them! I will take the time to learn about your pet and your routines to keep your pet comfortable and happy in your absence! I am currently working part time! I have plenty of time throughout the day most days to do check ins and walks for your pets! I have 7 years of professional experience and 4 years of education in animal behavior. With this I am able to keep a keen eye on the safety of your pets environment!

“Another successful walk! Thank you Lucia and Happy Holidays!”

About: I've had dogs ever since I can remember. I was brought up to love, respect and care for animals and that's why I got into vetmed back in my home country. I had to stop my studies to come here but I haven't stopped wanting to help. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to support you and help you care for your furry babies. I have pet and house sitted for friends and family in the past. I have pet sitted cats and dogs but I'm open to help with small species and exotic pets. Rest assured I'll do everything exactly like instructed by you, always with lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm currently staying at home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take them on walks and snuggle with them. I have two small dogs that can keep your puppy company and we also have a very walkable neighborhood with some green areas we could explore together.

About: As a pet owner myself I truly understand they are part of your family and treat them as such! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for friends, family and neighbors for many years. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to head out on a walk with your pup or check in on your cat I am very organized and reliable. I will keep to the routine given and always have you and your pets best interest in mind when they are in my care

“Robert was great! He was easy to work with, communicative, and understood directions clearly. He even helped clean up after my pup! I would definitely recommend him and will book with him again!”

About: My whole life has been around dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs. In my adult life I owned 3 dogs. I’ve helped train puppies of my own all the way to caring for senior dogs. I have watched friends and neighbors animals from checking in with cats daily to housing dogs for a few days to months. I have a very flexible work schedule so I can check on your pet in the morning before work, during my lunch break and after work. If you need me to be at your house full time with your pet I can easily work from home multiple days. I am a digital media marketer so I can work about anywhere and at any time. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very playful dogs if they need any playtime. I know a great dog park for dogs to run and play their heart out. I love going outside so taking dogs for walks is one of my favorite things to do. Since I live with 2 dogs I know how to feed, play, relax and sleep with them.

“Thank you for walking Pecan! Hope he wasn’t too much. We appreciate you handling him with care.”
