Dog Walking Midtown

About: I’m a local elementary school teacher who loves spending time with animals. During the school year, I teach full-time, and outside of the classroom I enjoy caring for pets in my community. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I helped walk and care for our family dogs, and as an adult I’ve continued dog walking and pet sitting both here in California and while living in the Boston area. I’m also an experienced cat owner with three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats with all kinds of personalities. One of my cats had significant behavioral challenges, which led me to work with an animal behaviorist and spend countless hours learning about feline behavior. Through patience, positive reinforcement, and clicker training, I taught him tricks and helped him become much more comfortable around people. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates.

“Anne was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Rumi! She took such great care of him and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. You can really tell how much she loves and cares for animals. Rumi was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind!”

About: Reliable, active, and experienced dog walker! 8 years of experience walking a variety of dogs in my local area and care for dogs of different sizes. This has given me firsthand experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. As a marathon runner, I'm comfortable walking or running for extended periods of time. If your dog enjoys a more active lifestyle, I'd be happy to take them on a run or provide a longer walk to help them get the exercise they need. I treat every dog like they're my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I have a flexible schedule and am available whenever pet care is needed, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether your dog needs a daily walk or a last minute walk, I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and ensure your pet receives the responsible, reliable care they deserve while you're away.

About: I’ve had the joy of owning and caring for both dogs and cats over the years, giving me hands on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. With dogs, I have experience raising one since he was a puppy, so I’m familiar with the patience, consistency, and attention they need as they grow. I have experience with daily walks, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping dogs safe during walks by being mindful of things like hot pavement with this summer weather. Additionally, I taught my dog fun tricks including “sit” and “paw,” which Im willing to teach if wanted. I have even more experience with cats, having cared for my own cat for over three years as well as multiple kittens and stray cats. Through this experience, I’ve learned to recognize their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide the care and affection they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets. My goal is for both you and your furry family member to feel comfortable, confident, and worry free while you’re apart. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which means I’m available for bookings throughout the whole week! Feel free to reach out anytime as I’d love to help care for your furry family members whenever you need a reliable sitter or walker. Please feel free to let me know before I care for your pet if you have any special requests, routines, or precautions you’d like me to follow. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible while you’re away. For example, if they don’t like being petted in certain areas, have specific feeding or medication schedules, need extra patience around new people or other animals, have favorite toys or walking routes, or have any other unique preferences, I’d be more than happy to accommodate them. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to providing the personalized care they deserve.

“Michael was very professional, great to work with, and spent the full, quality time with my 2 boys. When I came home, they were relaxed - happy to see me, but clearly not anxious. Now if they could just stop telling me how "Michael took them on TWO walks a day..." :D”

About: I love taking care of dogs! I've grown up with dogs my whole life (1 Maltipoo, 2 Shih-Tzus, 1 Aussie Doodle, and 1 Poodle), each of which has had a distinct personality. I also have experience dog-sitting for larger dogs in the area, including Golden Retrievers and Black Labs. My family's current pets are quite needy, so I am used to frequent walking and particular routines. However, I'm also happy with a more relaxed dog. Over the summer, I will be working about 5 hrs/week in person and 10 hrs/week remotely. I am very flexible for dog walking, including in the morning and the evening. I live in a 2BR/2BA apartment building on Stanford campus. The building is very new. It is surrounded by several fields and playgrounds, so there is plenty of space for dogs to be walked. I have no personal pets.

“Savannah has been a great walker! My dog was instantly attached and has been excited for her walks. Appreciate the prompt communication as well”

About: 🔆Welcome to a small part of my life I started by taking care of my neighbors’ pets as a hobby, which helped me discover how much I enjoy this work. Later, I found the Rover app, where I saw a great opportunity to care for and meet dogs of different breeds. Currently, I have two years of experience providing love and care to pets as if they were part of my family. I deeply love animals and have always felt a special connection with them. I carry my dog, Cejas, who passed away, in my heart forever, and her memory inspires me to provide the best care to the pets that come into my home. I’m passionate about caring for pets with special needs, whether it’s administering medications or providing appropriate therapies for their physical and mental well-being. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments, so I easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs. Looking for a quiet and exclusive stay for your pet? Your furry friend will find a true haven of peace here. My home is clean, calm, and completely free of loud noises. I only accept one family at a time, ensuring a stress free and distraction free environment. I’m home all the time, so your pet will never be alone. Perfect for sensitive pets or those who simply need rest and tranquility. I speak Spanish, I am currently studying English📒 I’m patient, responsible, organized, flexible, and, above all, trustworthy. I love walking and exploring the outdoors, which makes walks with your furry friends one of my favorite moments of the day. They also help me by providing exercise and breaking me out of my daily routine. I truly enjoy sharing my life with the company of pets. I offer a warm, cozy, and safe environment where your pet will feel loved and protected. I’ll keep you informed with updates through the Rover card, as well as photos and videos during their stay, so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing. Your pets can roam freely throughout the house, and during the night, when it’s time to sleep, they are monitored through my camera. 🐱It will be a pleasure! I’m available seven days a week to host, care for, and walk your pets. I’m also open to handling last-minute requests, as long as I don’t have prior bookings. I provide exclusivity by only caring for one pet per day or pets from the same family. My husband helps keep the pets entertained during their stay. I love taking long walks, and I’ll always send you updates through Rover cards. Your pet will be safe and comfortable in a warm and welcoming environment. In my home, I’ve created a secure, risk-free space where your furry friend can feel right at home. I always stay in the same space as the pet, providing constant attention and supervision to ensure their well-being at all times. My neighborhood is gated and pet-friendly, with plenty of green areas, making walks perfect and super safe for both large and small pets. For my pet boarding service, whether for the day or overnight, I prioritize hygiene and a great experience. Before each reservation, my home is thoroughly disinfected, vacuumed, and mopped. I love welcoming pets into a clean and well-prepared space to ensure their stay is comfortable and enjoyable. 🐕‍🦺In my client's home, I follow their specific instructions regarding feeding, walking, and any other care routines they have in place. I’m a flexible, adaptable and energetic person

“Emma provided excellent daily dog walking services for a week over the holidays for our two dogs. Emma was friendly and communicated well in a timely manner. She was responsible and always on time. I especially liked the daily pictures of our smilin’ dogs! I highly recommend Emma for the care of your pets.”

“Trina is dependable and very sweet to our dog who isn’t the easiest to take on walks due to her reactiveness around other dogs.”

About: I am a relative new comer but I make up for this with lots of time and great soul. I wish to become part of the pet-ite bourgeoisie I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm mostly available for all days of the week now that summer is in! Unfortunately, I can't bring animals over to my home without permission but I can stay and take care of animals at your place for a long while

About: I’ve had my own dog for 9 years, so I understand the care, attention, and love pets need every day. I’m very energetic, patient, and comfortable working with all types of dogs, from playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler approach. I enjoy staying active, going on walks, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and cared for. Friends and family trust me to feed, walk, and look after their pets, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m a student-athlete with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and energy to pet care. I’m available most weekdays after 12pm and have full availability on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority, whether on walks or during home visits. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations. During home visits, I follow all care instructions closely, keep your space clean and secure, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed. I tailor care to each dog’s needs so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes! From my 95lb golden retriever and my grandpas 120lb giant schnauzer to my aunts 10lb chihuahua and my cat! Love any and all pets and will devote my full attention to them! I’m an active college student (currently at home for summer break!), so I can always squeeze in some pet time throughout the day! Also have lots of free time on the weekends and evenings. I will always be respectful for your spaces and belongings! Will only interact with the pet and nothing more. It’ll be like I was never there!

About: Hi! My schedule will be tailored to yours. I am very flexible and willing to do services with little prior heads up. Just message me for whatever you need and I will make it work. Ive taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since i was very young. There has always been some sort of animal in my house hold whether thats a small dog, a big dog, a couple of cats, birds or guinea pigs. My relationship with my animals has always been a mutual respect for each other without any issues in the past with authority which is due to my training and conditioning with my animals. I’ve made my home a safe and loving environment for my animals with their best interests considered first with daily physical and mental stimulation with fun games and walks as well as nutritious diets containing real food. I’d love to get to know your pup and take him or her on long walks. I dont have a very packed schedule so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! Im able to walk or feed your dog before 9 am and at around 12.30 in the afternoon every weekday as well as boarding your pup or kitty at my house or watching your dog overnight at your home every week day except Friday. Weekends I have more flexibility during the day and can watch your companion overnight on saturday and sunday if needed. I am flexible with day of requests for random times and can make those work every now and then. ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE. I have a fenced back yard and a very friend shiba inu and chow chow mix who is a spayed female dog and is the light of my life and a black outdoor cat. My dog is very friendly with all animals and is very curious of being friends with others and would be a perfect companion for your animal.

About: I grew up in a multiple pet family; taking care of the cats, ducks and family dog. Over the last couple decades I have rescued animals including my cat 20 years ago. I have also enjoyed caring for my friends and family animals while away, and any stray wildlife that comes my way too:) Right now I am working to start a resin company, and have a very flexible schedule. My care schedule for my animals is structured but flexible, so we can work with many different demands, my cat communicates surprisingly well :) I follow whatever instructions are given before and during visits, care and safety are of the utmost importance. If there is ever a question, I do really love communication so I'm asking and my ears are always perked!

“Lena is amazing! Very kind and communicative. I’m so happy we’ve found someone I can trust to take care of our puppy! I highly recommend her.”
