Dog Walking North Central

“Skyler has been great with Charlie! She really goes above and beyond, she met us the day before Charlie’s first walk and they instantly hit it off. She was thorough with questions about Charlie and if he would need any special attention or medications. I’ve rebooked Skyler few times and I love the fact that she actually walks Charlie for the full half hour.(He’s a border collie, so he really needs it.) Also, I made a mistake of not leaving a key, she was persistent in contacting me to make sure Charlie was taken care of. I can not thank her enough for all her help!”

About: I've loved dogs and cats my whole life and I have a good reproir with them. As a Rover sitter, I think it is important to give them lots of love and attention, and to keep them safe. A good sitter always keeps in mind how important people's pets are to them, and should make them feel at ease while they are away, and confident that thier babies are in good hands by communicating with them regularly and meeting all of thier needs. I have many repeating clients, and thier pets have become like family members to me over the years. We are always happy to see each other, but also sad when it's time to leave. My most cherished achievement was when I trained my friend's Dotson (Titus) with a fun snack-training system and prepared him for the dog Olympics tournament in Ohio, in which he came first place. I taught Titus to jump and spin, dance and roll-over and etc by directing his motions with the snack and repeating the commands until the snacks were no longer necessary. I used three brands of treats: Bronze treats (hard food); silver treats (soft dog snacks); and gold treats (a piece of white meat. It took a lot of repetition and patience, but after a couple of months, he became the most clever and talented dog i've ever trained. I also taught him to sing "Walk Like A Man" by The 4 Seasons. I work part-time in the early evening at Bach To Rock, which makes it easy to feed the dogs in the morning and at night. I also get gaps in my teaching schedule which allows me to drop in and take them for a walk or let them out if necessary. I also substitute teach which allows me to make my own schedule and that makes it easier for me to spend plenty of time taking care of people's pets when I have bookings. My other job is very close by so commuting is convenient as well. The safety and well-being of the pets is my top priority. Their emotional well-being is important too. Dogs get anxious and even depressed when their owners leave so it's my job to keep them comfortable and entertained. When I'm staying at a client's house, I make sure to keep doors shut and stay mindful when going in and out so they don't run out or get into anything they're not supposed to. I always make sure to ask about the layout of the house and the backyard, so they cant run off. When I'm walking them, I avoid stopping and talking with other people who are walking their pets, and I always make sure I know how their leash or harness goes on so they don't slip out of it. And then if they take meds, I set an alarm on my phone with a reminder note.

“Our favorite sitter! Frank loves Tamra so so much! She’s such a huge help and we have nothing but appreciation for her and how well she takes care of our little dude!”

I also pet sit for family members on a regular basis. I am a college student just trying to earn a little extra money where I can so my schedule is pretty much open.

I care for all pets as if they were my own making sure that they are comfortable and loved.I stick to their normal routines and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles.My goal is to make sure that your pup feels cared for and happy until you are back.

“Kristynah is amazing, we have used her services multiple times now! She is communicative and reliable. Our dog seems to love the time he gets to spend with her! We will definitely use her for more dog walking and are interested in boarding with her in the future!”

About: I've loved doggos since I was a child! I grew up with a giant German shepard/black lab mix and cared for my roommates five dogs whenever she went on vacation. I also used to volunteer at a dog shelter when I was in middle school . I am a stay at home mom and my babies have always been around animals since they were born. I feel like this is a perfect fit for my active mommy lifestyle! I have a fenced in backyard for doggy playtime, beds on the floor for easy doggo access, and a comfortable spacious home filled with love and cozy furniture to lounge on.

“Very responsive and flexible! Definitely cares about your baby.”

About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I currently have my own puppy, so I fully understand the patience and consistency needed for training and reinforcing good habits. I’ve also grown up with a Shih Tzu, so I’m comfortable with small breeds and their unique needs. Additionally, I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who may require extra attention, medication, or a gentler touch. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and lots of love—your pup will feel right at home with me! I work very close to home so tend to go home and my lunch and breaks! I also have plenty of free time after work. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for your pet with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and cozy spaces for rest. I stick closely to your pet’s routine for feeding, exercise, and bedtime to make them feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully—this includes feeding schedules, medication, walks, and any special care needs. I also provide updates with pictures and videos so you always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for!

About: I was nine years old when I got my first dog which was a Golden Retriever who taught me everything I needed to know about love, loyalty and tenderness. I’ve had many wonderful dogs and cats as companions in my lifetime. I recently retired from hospice nursing and look forward to the joy of babysitting my granddaughter, bird feeding and hiking. I have plenty of time. I keep a watchful eye on my cat Arlo when he goes outside. All animals are curious and can get in to trouble or get lost. I have a 6' fence and he wears a collar.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have two of my own, Higgins and Zoey. Caring for them and the dogs I host through Rover has taught me how much a consistent routine, exercise, and individual attention matter. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and doggy daycare, with care tailored to your dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog enjoys an active walk, plenty of sniffing, or a quiet visit with company and a potty break, I’ll follow their pace. Have more than one dog? I welcome households with up to three dogs. Before the first booking, we’ll discuss their routines and leash manners through Rover messages to plan safe, comfortable care. I have experience with puppy care, reinforcing owners’ training routines, and administering oral medication. You can expect attentive care, photos, and clear updates so you know how your dogs are doing. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits before 1 p.m everyday. I welcome recurring bookings for families who want a consistent walker, as well as occasional visits when you need extra help. Drop-ins can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship based on your dogs’ needs. Boarding and doggy daycare are also available based on my calendar. I accept up to three dogs from the same household, but I will not accept 3 separate bookings for the same dates.   Please message me with your location, preferred time, number of dogs, and the service you need so we can find a plan that works. Before our first walk or drop-in, we’ll go over your dogs’ personalities, routines, leash behavior, and any medical needs through Rover messages. Please share instructions for accessing your home and where to find leashes and supplies. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and training cues. Walks are tailored to your dogs’ energy, comfort, and the weather. For households with multiple dogs, we’ll discuss whether they can comfortably and safely walk together. After each visit, I’ll make sure your dogs are settled and your home is secured, then send photos and an update. For boarding and daycare, my home has a fenced yard and two friendly resident dogs, Higgins and Zoey. We have puzzle toys for enrichment and gates to provide separate spaces for rest and breaks from play. I’ll follow your dog’s schedule and keep you updated throughout their time here.

“Tyler was very communicative and gave great updates on the walks. He was on time and communicated well when he would be arriving. My pup enjoyed him and was more than happy to “sit” for him when offered treats lol. I would absolutely book again.”

“Whitney is fantastic! She offered to meet me and my puppy first before the first time she walked her. She is punctual and takes my girl on a nice long walk during the short time they are together. When I come home my girl is still snoozing in her crate. Thanks for taking good care of my Tilly girl!”
