Dog Walking North Central

“Mario is great! Very patient and flexible. He was able to do a last minute walk and was very patient with me as my apartment was also hard to find.”

“Rachel was extremely patience with my grumpy little old girl and I cannot thank her enough. She took extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with her. She is communicative with me the whole time. I trust Rachel completely in taking care of my dog and can't recommend her enough. We are so glad that we found you Rachel!”

“Ruby was fantastic with meeting my dog for the first time! She’s friendly and warm. I can always tell when my dog likes a human and she definitely likes Ruby!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with a dog and a duck, and have continuously lived in homes with cats and dogs through college and graduate school, so I’m very comfortable with their routines and behavior. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also have three tortoises of my own, including one I’ve had for nearly 23 years, which has made me especially attentive to routines, environment, and long-term care. I am currently volunteering at the Kitten Nursery with the Peninsula Humane Society, where I help taking care of kittens too young for adoption. I have a very flexible schedule through freelance consulting work, which allows me to be available for pet care most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute needs. The only consistent commitment I have is volunteering on Monday afternoons at the Peninsula Humane Society, but outside of that, I’m highly flexible and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box or cleanup routines, exercise, and any specific preferences your pet is used to. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with shy or more independent pets, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home clean and organized, and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“Great dog walker! Reliable, friendly, and clearly cares about dogs. My beagle guy was happy and well-exercised after the walk. Highly recommend!”

“Siqi is very kind and pet loving. She did an amazing job taking care of our dog and went above and beyond for his comfort. Highly recommend her”

Marianny M.

“Peter was great! He was so good with Norman and he sent me lots of photos. When he came for our original meet and greet, he was right on time and so personable! I will definitely use him again!”

Marcy H.

“Nicole really helped me out when I was busy all day at an event. She made Pippa feel welcome and took her on a walk during stormy weather. I'm so grateful for her help and care!”

Stephanie A.

“Heleen is great and our dog loves her. She is very thorough, professional and diligent in sharing how the walks go and what she notices every day with our pet. She takes feedback, asks questions and really cares about our pet.”

Ravi A.

“Maya is a reliable and caring dog lover. She took great care in getting to know my shy dog and reassured me that my pet would be in good hands. I’ve gone ahead and booked her for much of May! Great experience.”

Kathryn R.

“Casey is clearly a dog person. I have a Golden Retriever and a Flat-Coated Retriever. The Golden can be difficult with new walkers, but Casey was very patient through all the tug of war the Golden was engaging in. Great experience overall!”

Alex F.

“Thank you for helping with Probert and sending us pictures! We enjoy our time away seeing you have taken care of Probert! We are very grateful to you Eduardo!”

Carri C.

Yash R.

“Vanessa was amazing. Aioli loved her:). He came back happy to my mom and sister. We will definitely be rebooking and we trust her a lot with our dog. :)”

Fiona M.

“Karina was courteous and was amazing with Jager. Her confidence with dogs shows how much experience she has with them. She also sends updates if Jager already pooped, peed and if they’re heading back. Jager came home tired and happy! Thanks Karina!”

Annes N.

“Margo is a responsible and reliable petsitter/walker. She has been patient with my reactive dog and flexible with approaches to earn his trust Shes wonderful”

Jo-Anne D.

“Ray was great with Jimi! Jimi is leash reactive and not friendly with other dogs, plus he is very strong, so I’m always worried when someone else walks him. But I felt extremely confident with Ray walking him. He also spent extra time with Jimi and they played in the backyard after each walk. Additionally, I appreciated how communicative Ray was with me and all the pictures that he sent while I was away. I can’t recommend Ray enough!”

Mark L.

“Rumi may have found her new favorite person in Lizbeth! Rumi is still a puppy and she can sometimes be a bit distracted while on walks. With Lizbeth, however, loose leash walking around the neighborhood wasn't a problem at all, even with skateboarders nearby and leaves blowing in the wind (her absolute favorite thing to lunge at). Lizbeth was communicative, prompt, and from the big smile Rumi had after she came home from her walk, you could just tell that Lizbeth has a special way with dogs. We absolutely loved our experience with Lizbeth and would highly recommend her!”

Jason Y.

“Linda (Xiangling) is great with my senior dog. He really loves her a lot and they have a great time together. She always sends a lot of pictures and updates which is really sweet because I'm always missing my dog.”
