Dog Walking Midlothian

“We have an older, timid Aussie and Tabitha did an amazing job of getting her to calm down when she entered the house and has implemented a few tricks in subsequent visits to make things smoother. Highly recommend her- she’s calm and clearly loves dogs!”

About: I have had my own dogs since my early 20’s, and I’d probably have about ten more if I could. Everyone in our family has dogs, ranging from tiny Yorkipoos to big ol’ lab mixes, and I love them all! I currently have one rescue pup, Russell, who is 19 different breeds! I am patient, I don’t get grossed out easily, and I will love your pup like it’s a member of the family. My husband and I are both teachers, so we are home full-time during the summer with our two teenage kids. During the school year we work, but I’m usually home by 3:30. Our 13-year old daughter is interested in pursuing a career working with animals, so she will be assisting in the care of your pet. We have a large fenced yard and a dog-friendly house. We even have a doggie door for pups to come and go outside to the back yard as they need or want to. We have one 5-year old dog who gets along great with other pups. Usually when we dog sit, we have the visiting pup have a home base in our daughter’s room where they can be fed separately, have peace and quiet, and enjoy the best air conditioning in the house! We are a dogs on furniture house, and she even loves to let the dogs we are sitting sleep in her bed with her if they want. Your dog should expect many pets and snuggles at our house! If we are coming to your house, we will follow whatever routines and rules you’ve established for your pet. But still expect lots of love for your pet!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from young puppies to large breeds, and I’m confident handling a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure every pet stays healthy and safe. I also have experience with basic puppy training, helping reinforce good habits and routines. What sets me apart is my patience and understanding, especially with dogs who have separation anxiety or need extra reassurance. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs so they get the best care possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and even last-minute bookings when needed. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I'm able to adjust my routine to match your pet's schedule and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for them. I'm reliable, responsive, and committed to being there when you and vour pet need me. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family.

My two daughters are gentle and respectful with animals, adding to the loving environment your pet will be in. I live in a great area for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day.

About: I am a former dog-mom to an English Bulldog named Otto who loved playing fetch with tennis balls, snuggling, sun-bathing, and strolling around town. I also grew up with a yellow lab who was a wonderful childhood companion. I have experience taking dogs for walks, hikes, runs, and swims! My family and I love taking walks and playing outside in our fenced in yard. Each dog is unique in the games they love to play and the areas they love to sniff, and I will pay special attention to what your dog likes. Rest assured that your dog will be in great hands. My husband and I work from home and have ample time to care for a dog during the day. We have 3 young children who miss our dog that passed away earlier this year. We are not in a position to get another dog currently, so would love to watch your dog on a short term basis! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to play. In order to stay in my home, your dog must be very kid friendly.

About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.

About: I have grown up taking care of all kinds of animals growing up on a farm as a kid, I love and have taken care of my own pets my neighbors dogs wether it was feeding them and checking in them. I have even house sat in the past for some older dogs as well. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to provide them with the attention, exercise, and care they need. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to follow each pet's normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, administering liquid medications if needed, or simply providing companionship. I believe consistency and communication are important, so I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. I care for every pet like they're my own. I stick to their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love and attention. If needed, I'm also comfortable administering liquid medications. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away.

“Emily was amazing! She took such good care of my two elder pups and made sure our apartment is clean when she left. Very reliable! So glad we found her”

About: I was fortunate to grow up in a home where dogs were always part of the family, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. My childhood dogs were some of my closest companions, and having dogs of my own has only deepened my love and appreciation for them. I’m now the proud owner of two hounds with very different personalities. One is calm, easygoing, and low-maintenance, while the other is much more energetic and requires a little more patience and attention. Having experience with both has made me comfortable adapting to different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve fostered animals, as well as been trusted to care for the pets of family and friends since my early teens. This includes regularly pet sitting for my grandparents’ senior poodle, who required daily medication and additional care. I also have experience caring for cats, rodents, reptiles, fish, birds, and chickens. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure each animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible and open schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet simply needs a check-in and some company during the day or more extended in-home care, I’m happy to provide dependable, attentive care based on their individual routine and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific habits or preferences your pet may have. I understand that every animal has a different personality, so I’m happy to adjust my approach based on their energy level, temperament, and comfort with new people. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: Dogs and cats aren't just pets to me—they are family, confidants, and absolute best friends. My own pets are my genuine besties, and I promise to treat yours with that exact same level of unconditional love, respect, and playful energy! My house is a happily packed pet paradise, and all five of my fur-babies are adopted rescues! I have a massive heart for rescue animals and am the proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs—Harry, a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, and Sally, a Cairn Terrier/Corgi mix. We also share our home with two gorgeous Norwegian Forest Cats, Chaussette and Hugo, and our sweet senior calico queen, Greta (lovingly nicknamed Goose). I have spent my entire life raising, loving, and working with animals. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for Corgis, German Shepherds, Black Labs, and unique mixed breeds of every shape and size. Professionally, I have extensive experience working housesitting and petsitting jobs for giant breeds, tiny pups, and everything in between. Why In-Home Care Matters: I focus entirely on taking care of pets in their own environment. Boarding facilities can be loud, chaotic, and scary. By keeping your dogs and cats at home for walks, drop-ins, and weekend stays, we maintain their exact eating and sleeping consistency, heavily reduce their separation anxiety, and eliminate the stress of an unfamiliar place. Your pet gets to stay in their favorite spot on the couch, and I bring the love directly to them! Specialized Care You Can Trust: * Senior & Special Needs Care: Because I care for my own sweet senior rescue Greta at home, I have a deep understanding of senior dogs and cats who need a slower pace, gentle handling, extra bathroom breaks, and patient companionship. * Medical & Medication Management: I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications (oral pills, liquid supplements, or topical treatments) safely and strictly on your required timeline. * True Cat Adoration: I absolutely adore cats! I respect their boundaries, will happily scoop litter boxes to keep their space pristine, and am always ready to whip out the feather wand if the mood strikes your kitty for some playtime. * All-Size Confident: From massive, energetic guard dogs to small, independent pups, my professional sitting background means I know how to handle and lead dogs of any size safely. When your besties are with me, they get a dedicated friend who will send you plenty of fun photo updates, respect your house rules perfectly, and keep them safe, happy, and completely spoiled in the comfort of their own home! I work a standard full-time day job, but my schedule is highly optimized for local pet care! I am available for weekday lunch-break check-ins, daytime drop-in visits, and refreshing dog walks. I also specialize in weekend overnight house sitting stays (and can occasionally accommodate weeknights by special request), making sure your fur-babies get dedicated evening cuddles, structured morning routines, and constant love. I always recommend a free 30 minute meet & greet with you and your pet(s) prior to booking. This helps everyone involved and especially your pet.

“Great communication and timely arrival!”

“Tara responded immediately to a last minute request to walk my dog two days later so that I could be away for a day. Everything went very well!”
