Pet care experience
I love pets and have years of experience as a dog owner and a pet sitter. This is less of a job to me and more of a wonderful experience that allows me to meet new dogs (and cats) and play with them! I have flexible work hours and am consistent and reliable. I know that being away from your dog, puppy, or cat is stressful and not ideal. My goal is to lessen your anxiety and to care for your animal as if it were my own. I will give you feedback about your pup/kitty and will send you texts and plenty of pictures upon request. I am big into snuggles, belly rubs, and ear scratches and am a very active person, so walks happen at least twice a day (if not more)! Maisie, my dog, loves other dogs, to go on walks, to play at the park and to be outside. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and raised and trained her by myself. She is my best friend and my world. I have had other dogs - since I was born - ranging from cocker spaniels, to black labs, to pitbulls and more. My brother and sister have many dogs that I care for often. We are a dog family, for sure. Both Maisie and I also love cats and have cat sat often for many friends. I am a Spanish teacher who has the summer off and a flexible schedule, so I have decided to pursue things I love. I know I love animals - they make us whole and improve our lives, so that’s why I’m excited to be here to help other pet owners as well!
Reviews
Whitney is an excellent dog walker. My Westie fell in love with her immediately. Her knowledge of terrier behavior and personality is exactly what I wanted. She documents every walk with pictures and the exact route they travel. Whitney will always be my first choice.
Whitney is great. Piper loves her
Thanks! Piper's always happy w Whitney!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a full fenced in yard and an animal friendly small dog. My neighbors dogs are also friendly. At your home, I will let the dog out, walk him or her, feed him or her and always give fresh water. I am also a bit of a treat lady - so I’ll spoil your dog with a treat and lots of love - unless you tell me otherwise. I feed cats and give them fresh water and clean their litter boxes - also give them as much love as they want to accept.
Information Whitney W. would like to know about your pet
I need to know your dog’s diet, your exercise preferences for your dog, and the dog’s level of friendliness around other dogs. I need to know any treat preferences and medical conditions. Same goes for cats - indoor/outdoor, feeding amounts and times, required medicines, etc.
A typical day
I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, at the park, at the river walk, and play ball or fetch or chase at any place that is safe for dogs to roam.
Services
Whitney can watch in your home
Availability
I have a flexible schedule so I can come visit your dog multiple times a week or on the weekends! I usually teach MWF and can do early afternoon visits then or early morning and am free TTh.
