Dog Walking New Melle

About: I’ve cared for pets and homes across the U.S. and internationally with TrustedHousesittersdotcom—including month-long house and pet sitting stays in Thailand, Ireland, and England. As the founder of HomestewardZdotcom, I bring the same thoughtful, trustworthy care to animals as I do to homes and gardens. I’m also accustomed to working with special needs cats and dogs, including those with behavioral or medical requirements. I genuinely love animals and treat them like family, offering calm, attentive companionship and reliable routines. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or more exotic pets or horses, I ensure they feel safe, seen, and loved while you’re away. As the owner of HomestewardZ, where I offer handyman work, interior painting, and house/pet sitting, I have complete flexibility in my schedule. This means I can be fully available to care for your pets whenever they need attention—whether that’s daily walks, medication, or just quality time. Pet care isn’t a side gig for me—it’s part of a meaningful lifestyle rooted in trust, presence, and care. I care for pets exclusively in my clients’ homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize safety, consistency, and trust—following your routines closely, keeping the environment clean and calm, and giving your pets the attention and affection they need to thrive while you’re away. I treat every home with deep respect and every animal like a member of the family.

“Donovan is AMAZING! he is very thorough, gentle with my two older girls and super friendly. Communication is excellent with him. Will definitely rebook in the future if I need a dog walker! Highly recommend!”

About: I have always been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with dogs as a kid, and have always had one as an adult (aside from living in an apartment that didn’t allow it). I believe exercise and outside stimulation is very important for the well being of any dog. I currently have a dog that goes for runs with me several times a week. While I’m new to walking other people’s dog, I’ve been taking my own out for years! I currently work three night shifts a week during the week. I’m generally always available during the daytime on Mondays. I’ll normally be available at least one more day during the week, but that day is variable. I’ll also be available most weekends I currently walk my dog on a leash with a harness. I try to stick with sidewalks as much as possible. If I see another dog out on our walk that is barking at us, I generally go a different direction than them. You just never know how they will react towards you or the dog. I feel safety is very important for everyone.

About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was five years old, and from that moment on, I’ve always known that caring for animals was something I genuinely loved. For the past 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to gain hands-on experience in several areas of pet care including animal shelters, doggy daycare, grooming facilities, and working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Every experience has taught me something new about understanding canine behavior, building trust, and providing the individualized care each dog deserves. One thing that sets me apart is that I don’t believe every dog should be cared for the same way. Some want to play for hours, some prefer quiet companionship, and others just need someone patient who helps them feel safe while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for in a way that fits them best. Most of my bookings are for in-home pet sitting because I know how much dogs thrive in the comfort of their own environment. I stay with your pet for the majority of the day, only leaving if necessary and never for more than four hours at a time. Throughout the day, I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, plenty of affection, and lots of one-on-one attention so they stay active, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away from your pet. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind knowing they’re happy, comfortable, and in good hands. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you’re back home. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for, even while working full-time. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure the pets in my care receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I do my best to be as flexible as possible and will always communicate openly about my availability before accepting a booking. Whether your dog needs overnight care, walks, or drop-in visits, my goal is to provide dependable, consistent care that fits both your pet’s needs and your schedule. I currently only offer in-home pet sitting. At this time, I do not provide boarding. Since I have my own dog, Nikita, and live in an apartment, I believe the best environment for the pets I care for is the one where they already feel safest and most comfortable, which is their own home. I know that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I make it a priority to maintain the structure they are used to while you’re away. This includes keeping up with their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that help them feel secure. When caring for pets in their home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want someone to have in my own home. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they are being cared for.

“Great communication and very friendly!!!”

About: Hi! I am Lillian and I'm an avid animal lover and would love to hang with your pups or cats!! I have had experience with all ages of dogs and cats and would be comfortable with all age groups. I grew up working with horses, dogs, cats and even nursed wild bunnies to health. I've worked with high energy dogs to the older guys and gals who need some extra coaxing. Some of the animals I've taken care of in the past have needed meds or special food routines ect. so that shouldn't be a issue at all.. I love a long walk or run as well if needed. I look forward to working with you and your pups! I am free all day and would love spending my evenings, mid day or afternoons walking or hangin with your pal. I am available early mornings as well as Sunday and Monday! I currently have three cats and a husky who are bonded and beyond besties. We are avid hikers and campers together and they truly love their adventures. My pup and two cats currently on medication so I am familiar with and comfortable helping out in any way.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life! From puppies to seniors, big to small breeds, I love and can provide proper care for all. I’ve dog sat and house sat for over 5 years and thoroughly enjoy spending my time with animals :) I’m a student enrolled in virtual classes so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always able to work around whoever needs sitting! I offer drop ins to keep your pets company, let them out, feed them, and give them the love and attention they need. I can house sit as well but prefer a meet and greet before to establish trust and safety!

About: I have had past experience working at a Vet clinic where I have walked, given medication to, and interacted with multiple dog breeds of all different ages and needs. I have also taken care of a variety of animals for family members and friends for over 5 years. In addition, I have had many household pets of my own since I was 5 years old that I have cared and loved for. My work schedule is very flexible right now so I will be able to spend plenty of time caring for your furry family members! I can dog walk any day of the week, primarily in the mornings and afternoons. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to dog-sitting, I just ask for about a week in advance heads-up so I can work things out with you and my work schedule. I care for all pets with love and respect. I understand that they are not just pets, but family members too and deserve the same love, care, and treatment. I maintain a healthy pet-place environment to ensure the safety of your beloved pets. If needed, I am more than willing to follow any strict schedules or regimens to make sure your furry family member is comfortable, healthy, and feels safe within their own home.

About: I am a single mom with two adult children and a dog lover. I do not have a dog of my own. I've always had larger dogs (Golden Doodle and Samoyed). I live an active lifestyle. I'll take your dog(s) for walks, play with them our simply let them hang out if that's more their style. I've been a hard working sales executive for 30+ years and understand the need and importance in finding a reliable person to care for our dogs while we are out of town or unable to get home in the middle of the day. I've utilized Rover sitters myself. I hope that I can meet and exceed your needs in caring for your pets. I will not disappoint. I have a full-time professional job with the ability to work remotely at times. I will only accept a job if it’s a good fit for you, the dog and me. I personalize the experience based on the dog and owner’s needs. I prefer to do a meet and greet so I can understand what will make your pet comfortable and safe.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. From tiny puppies to big adventure buddies, I’ve always been the one in charge of walking them, caring for them, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Since I was young, I’ve helped care for family and friends’ dogs, and I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience with puppies along the way. I truly love dogs, and I’d be excited to give yours the same attention and care I give my own! I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday, and I’m usually done by 12 PM, which means I have lots of free time to spend with your pets! 🐾My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and making sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention. Outside of work, I love spending time with animals, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Whether your pup needs a midday adventure, some company while you’re away, or just someone to spoil them with belly rubs and treats, I’m happy to help! 🐶🐱💛 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 Since I live in an apartment, I’ll be providing care in your home and taking your pets on walks rather than bringing them to my place. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet stays in a safe and comfortable environment. For walks, I’ll always keep your pet’s safety in mind by using their leash properly, paying attention to our surroundings, and following any special instructions you provide. I also want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, so I’ll take the time to build trust, give them plenty of attention, and make their time with me as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱💛

“Maxwell is great! He’s always on time and goes above and beyond every visit. It’s a huge relief knowing Maxwell takes such good care of my dog while I’m stuck at work. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two students high school and college, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. This is my full-time occupation, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready.

My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am a Registered Vet Tech. I am currently working part time on Thursdays at a local emergency veterinary hospital, and stay home with the kids the rest of the week. I am unable to bring dogs into my own home but can do drop in visits and walks whenever is needed! I have very open availability every day except Thursdays, but am able to visit thursday mornings and evenings. I look forward to meeting you and your babies!!! I'm currently working part time on Thursdayss. I'm usually available all other days of the week and on Thursdays in the early morning and evenings. Before I start care I like to do a meet and greet so that when I enter your home for my first visit, your babies are already familiar with me. Drop in visits, for me, include a potty walk if your back yard isn't fenced in and lots of loving!
