Dog Walking Mica

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, for as long as I can remember. I have trained my pets as well as other's in basic obedience. I like to study dog psychology and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from tiny-huge and fearful-calm temperaments. My favorite breeds to care for are large breeds, most specifically breeds like pitties, mastiffs, and dobermans, but I love all dog breeds too and love how every dog has their own unique personality. I've also cared for cats doing volunteer work and have 2 of my own. I'm currently available anytime of the week all year besides the few times per year that I travel. I am working to potentially have a career with dogs. For care in the client's home, I will do whatever is instructed to me to be done for the pet. I am good at reading dog body language and understanding their needs. I've cared for fearful/avoidant dogs and hyper/clingy dogs alike. I am not able to provide care in my own home since I live with family and own 2 rescue cats.

“Velma is a loving dog walker. She is very reliable, always shows up on time and always kept me informed as to whether my dog had pooped during his twice daily walks which I very much appreciated. My dog got excited and always looked forward to his walks with Velma. We will both miss her. I can't recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over twenty years, and most of my clients have become repeat clients. In that time I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals: dogs, from a Yorkie to a husky/malamute mix, with greyhounds, a bluetick coonhound, Cavaliers, and a corgi along the way; cats; and even flocks of chickens and quail. If it has four legs or fewer, I’m excited to meet it. I’ve cared for puppies, anxious dogs, and seniors living with cancer, kidney failure, and cysts, including dogs who needed daily medications. When you leave, I’m the new variable in your pet’s world, so my goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. That means following your routines, even the silly ones you think nobody else would understand. I once danced around holding a dog because that’s what her mom does every day, and she expected the same from me. Some pets want play, some want snuggles. Most of the time you’ll find us curled up together while I read a book. I offer overnight house sits, including light tidying if you’d like, and drop-in visits with walks, potty breaks, and hang-out time. My schedule is flexible. I’ll drive up to about 20 miles for drop-ins and farther for longer house sits. If you're outside the drop-in radius and want me to house sit, send me a message to see if we can arrange something! Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt: they get love and attention, and you get peace of mind. Pet sitting is my main focus right now, so my schedule is built around the animals I’m caring for. That means I can offer flexible drop-in times, and I’m not dashing off to another job during an overnight stay. Your pet gets my full attention, not whatever’s left over. For your pet: Keeping routines consistent is the best way to reduce stress while you’re away, so I follow your pet’s schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime as closely as I can. I also stick to your house rules. If your dog isn’t allowed on the couch, they don’t get on the couch with me. That keeps your pet’s behavior on track while you’re gone, so you come home to the same pet you left. For your home: Having someone stay in your house is stressful enough, so I try to leave as little footprint as possible. I clean up after myself, wash and put away my dishes, and strip the bed I slept in before I leave. When you walk in the door, I want it to feel like you just ran to the store and came back. For drop-ins: Your pet gets the same routine-first care, with potty breaks, walks, and real hang-out time, not a rushed in-and-out. I will happily send photo updates of our time together so that you can see how they're doing while you're away if you like!

About: I LOVE animals! I’ve grown up with cats since I was 5 years old, and have had dogs for about 4 years now. I am very comfortable with both, and I love to build relationships and trust with the animals I care for. I have been watching animals including cats, dogs big and small, as well as horses for friends and family for about 3 years now alongside my current job. I have the most experience with cats, and German Shepherds and other big dogs. I am also experienced with senior cat and dog care, including giving medicine and physically assisting larger dogs when needed. I also love to spend time playing with animals, getting to know them and their personalities, and helping them to feel comfortable and safe! I currently work M-F at an elementary school and have online classes for graduate school on Monday and Tuesday evenings. I am available for house sitting though the week, but due to my work I am unable to give potty breaks from 8 am to 4 pm on weekdays. I am available most weekends and my calendar will be updated accordingly. I pride myself in building trust and relationships with the animals I care for. I love to engage with animals and play with them, as well as make sure that they are comfortable and feel safe with me in their environment. I am able to help them physically if needed, and administer medication to ensure their health and safety. I also love being around animals - I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you are gone!!

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.

“Valarie is a fantastic caretaker to your pet in any capacity. Rest assured if your a pet owner you will admire the expertise Valerie brings to your dog. Please take this message as a ticket for any pet owner to utilize when there away from their pets.”

About: I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I were fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I wanted to spend my time doing something productive that I love and caring for dogs is the perfect fit! I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 5 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention (with the exception of over holidays when I will book up to 10 dogs) I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for them. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed. Dog sitting is my full time profession. I do not work outside the home and I'm available to board dogs 7 days a week 24 hours a day! My yard is fully fenced and dog proof. I have a friendly Chihuahua mix named Rudy who loves to hang out and play with other dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from family friends while they were out of the country, made sure they got their medication on a regular basis or a specific time. I’ve taken care of elderly dogs and helped support them when doing potty/poop business. I’m also currently in a Veterinary Assisting Program, where I myself have learned a lot as an owner, understanding special cares for dogs that need special care, how to give medications, which I am comfortable to give Orally, not injectable yet since I am a student learning. I am still in school, but after school or on the weekends I will be available. Got any summer plans and can’t take your fur baby with you?? I’m available! I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. In clients' homes, I respect their space and maintain a clean, stress-free environment for their pets. I prioritize safety at all times, keep pets supervised, provide regular updates, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you're away! :)

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have always had a natural connection with animals. I’m empathetic, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from energetic huskies that require plenty of exercise to small dogs and more sensitive animals. I’ve cared for multiple dogs and cats at once, including senior pets requiring medication on a strict schedule, and I’m comfortable with walks, overnight stays, and providing loving, reliable care.

About: I’ve been watching my neighbors animals since I was old enough. Ive worked at a dog groomers so Ive work with all type of dogs, old and young! I grew up with 3 babies and each had their own medical issues as they got older which I helped with. Currently I have a husky so I am familiar with dogs with big personalities! I’ve also worked at a kennel facility so dealing with large amounts of dogs is something I know:) I don’t have a full time job right now so my schedule with just be a first come first serve. If anything changes in the future i will update immediately! I will respect all boundaries and rules put in place by you with your dog/cat and your homes. I’m respectful with things that aren’t mine and will do my best to give the best service.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about! With 10 years of experience working with animals and pet sitting, along with my experience working in an animal shelter environment, I understand how important it is to provide every pet with the love, patience, attention, and individualized care they deserve. My experience includes caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and temperaments, as well as administering medications and following specific care instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and timid, or a senior who needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make their comfort and well-being my priority. I’m attentive to their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I know pets are family, and I never take the trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care lightly. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and communication. From walks and playtime to cuddles, companionship, and medication management, I’m here to provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s needs. Your pets aren’t just animals in my care — they’re family, and I’ll treat them like my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!

“Leilani was perfect! She was available short notice when I was in a bind with my dogs. She was prompt, quick to respond, and great with my two big girls! We definitely would use her again:)”

About: I have a deep love and appreciation for my fuzzy little friends and all that they have taught me. I have learned everything I can to support my own pets and maybe even yours! I know how to perform CPR on both cats and dogs. I am comfortable following care plans for senior pets. Trained to provide subcutaneous fluids to kitties. I am currently available Monday - Thursday, barring the occasional appointments. I work long hours over the weekends so I am unfortunately not available at all Friday - Sunday I am a big believer in routine, as I know my fur babies definitely have and prefer theirs. I am happy to stick as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Carla was wonderful! Communicative, on time and Bubby had a wonderful walk with her. Will definitely book again.”

About: Taking care of your pups and cats is AS important as taking care of my own self. I’ve worked at a doggy day care, so I know all the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do with canines. I am calm, patient, kind, caring, and gentle. Our furry friends are our babies, they deserve every bit of love and light possible. I work an early full time M-F job, so I am unable to do morning drop-ins. I do offer afternoon and evening drop-ins, as well as housesitting (if I am not away from housesitting) as long as your pup is okay being alone for 8-9 hours! Attention and details are some of the most important traits to have while caring for pets. I will carry a loop(s) with me when necessary, so I can easily get ahold of your pup if they become too energetic under certain circumstances. If you need me to take care of something specific that your pup does, I can handle it.

About: I grew up in a family where we always had both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from an early age. As I got older, I continued having my own pets, which gave me real, hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for daily routines like feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe at home. I’m also used to reading animal behavior, understanding their needs, and adjusting my approach depending on their personality — whether they’re energetic, shy, or more independent. I genuinely love animals and take this responsibility seriously. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, care, and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure to give pets enough attention, playtime, and care during the day, and I’m consistent with feeding and routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I can also crate your pet if needed and ensure they get plenty of attention and care.

“Joseph was wonderful! We gave him our rundown of our routine with Archie and he was very receptive and understanding. Joseph is knowledgable and great with our dog. We definitely recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a reliable companion for their pet needs!”
