Dog Walking Natural Steps

About: I have been dedicated to caregiving and animal wellness for as long as I can remember. As a recent graduate with a deep background in the biological sciences, I bring an exceptional level of attentiveness, structure, and understanding to looking after your pets. I am entirely comfortable around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I pride myself on my ability to quickly adapt to their specific routines and behavioral needs. When your animal is under my care, my primary focus is maintaining their physical wellness and happiness—whether that means high-energy runs, structured walks, or engaging playtime. I love keeping them active and, if permitted, taking them to local parks for excellent socialization and mental stimulation while you are away! I am a recent graduate, earning my B.S. which means that my time is completely flexible! While staying in your home, my goal is to maintain absolute continuity for your pets. I will meticulously follow their established schedules for walks, feeding, and outdoor time, ensuring they feel completely safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. Services Offered: 30-Minute Dog Walks: A structured, high-quality stroll around your neighborhood or local trails to provide your dog with excellent physical exercise, fresh air, and crucial mental stimulation. 30-Minute Drop-Ins: Focused visits encompassing timely feeding, backyard potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention to keep your pet happy and thriving while you are out.

“Jeremy is great with my dog and just a great guy in general. He's super kind, trustworthy, and down-to-earth. It's clear that he treats my dog well, because my dog loves him and MUST go up to him and love on him if he sees him in public. It's like I disappear and Jeremy is all tgat matters. I would recommend Jeremy to any and everyone.”

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs from years of dog sitting for families in my neighborhood during the summers. Those experiences taught me how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm naturally patient, dependable, and attentive, and I enjoy helping others whenever I can. I also love being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and plenty of fresh air are never a problem for me. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I have open availability on weekdays and am looking to be as available for your pups as possible! My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in needs, and I'm happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their routine. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and play, and I live in a welcoming cul-de-sac that's very dog-friendly. When caring for pets in their own homes, I'm experienced with checking on crates, dog beds, food and water, and making sure backyard areas are secure and safe for playtime and potty breaks.

About: I grew up around dogs and have always had a love for them. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need. I also have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and keep them happy, safe, and well-loved. I care for my own cat and dog daily, so pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I plan my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and training, which makes it easy for me to give other pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including training. My dog is leash-trained and knows multiple tricks, and my cat is trained as well, so I understand structure, patience, and consistency. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety at all times, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their home environment.

About: Ive had cats and dogs my entire life, along with a guinea pig (briefly (class pet)). I have experience with all ages of animal, including several “end of life” animals that required special care. I am a full time college student, studying architecture. I spend week days from 8-3 in school, and tutor occasionally in the evenings. I am available most days in the evenings for about 1-2 hours and almost every weekend (excluding a few hours each day for school). I am open to overnight stays in your home as long as the animals can be cared for early in the morning and left alone until early/mid afternoon. I do not do in home care, but am comfortable with all homes, including apartments. I do not care if the pets stay in a crate, room, or specific area of the house, and am also happy to have them with me at all times if that is how you prefer them to be cared for.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and currently have 5. My last few dogs have been a high needs senior with around the clock care and a heart worm positive high energy dog that I was able to keep calm through treatment for 6 months. From mischievous puppies to wise old souls, I have had the pleasure of sharing my life with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Throughout these years, I have gained invaluable insights into their unique needs, behaviors, and the unwavering devotion they bring to our lives. 1 / 2 As a dedicated dog care provider, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. I understand that our furry friends require consistent care, attention, and love to thrive, so I prioritize their well-being in everything I do. On a daily basis, I allocate specific time slots for dog walking, exercise, and playtime. These activities are tailored to the individual needs and preferences of each dog in my care, ensuring they receive the appropriate amount of physical activity and mental stimulation. Whether it's a morning stroll, an afternoon game of fetch, or an evening hike, I make sure to create a balanced routine that keeps their tails wagging and their minds engaged. Feeding schedules are also an essential part of pet care, and I adhere to any specific dietary requirements or restrictions provided by the dog owners. I believe in maintaining a consistent feeding routine to promote good health and digestion for our furry companions. Communication is key in ensuring the pet owners are kept informed and reassured. Throughout the day, I provide regular updates to owners, including photos and messages, to keep them connected with their beloved pets and aware of any special moments or concerns. Beyond daily routines, I offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate the unique needs of dog owners. Whether it's providing regular walks during the workweek or offering overnight stays during vacations, I strive to be a reliable and flexible resource for pet owners seeking trusted care for their furry family members.

I will carefully tailor my services to meet the individual needs of your furry companion, whether they thrive on energetic adventures or prefer a gentle stroll through the neighborhood. When you entrust your precious pup to my care, you can be assured that they will be treated as a cherished member of the family. Whether it's a daily walk, overnight stay, or simply providing them with some companionship while you're away, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness, comfort, and well-being.

About: I have a very flexible schedule right now and most open availability in mornings and early afternoons. I love taking animals to spend time outside, cuddling or wrastling (depending on size, haha), or even grooming them to cut down on the dog hair dust bunnies in the house! I enjoy dogs of all sizes, and have compassion for their different temperaments and what personal accommodations they each need. In fact, I'm dog sitting right now as I write this. This pup is hesitant to go outside in the backyard when his owner isn't home, and therefore will avoid going to the bathroom more regularly unless I take him out on an actual walk. So that's what we do, rather than me insisting that he use the backyard. I understand that a dog's mannerisms and behaviors have to be paid close attention to, and that it's important for their owners to know about little things that have happened or not happened. I've also had experience with administering some forms of medicine to dogs on a few other occasions, and am not opposed to these sorts of tasks. I'm also fairly athletic and enjoying helping energetic dogs get ample amounts of exercise.

About: I have two fur babies of my own, kitsu and Otis. I have owned pets all my life from dogs and cats, to birds, ferrets and fish. I love taking care of animals and going out for a walk or running with dogs. I know how hard it is when you have to leave your animals for a trip or work and it’s nice having a comfortable state of mind knowing your animals are still getting all the love, affection, and attention they need each day. I have also had a dog in the past who always was sick and needed medication, so if your dog needs medicine administered or has a special diet, that also will not be anything new for me to handle. I am only working part time right now so I have lots of time to keep your animals company and give lots of play time I can follow any instructions you may need to leave for your animals. I have experience With many types of animals and disabilities that they may have
