Dog Walking North Central

About: Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a current stay-at-home mom to a beautiful baby girl! I want to treat every interaction with your pet as if I am caring for my own. I have experience caring for all kinds of breeds, and love learning their unique personality. Whether it’s a fun walk, a quick potty break, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I also love sending photos and updates so you don't have to wonder how your fur baby is doing! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I am currently a stay-at-home mom who goes on walks all the time with my baby, so I thought- why not have a dog join us! The more the merrier! Since I stay at home, this gig gives me the ability to not only be flexible for me, but flexible for YOU! My baby and I also love new environments that accommodate our lifestyle, so drop-ins are perfect! I make sure to love on and play with your pets, not just go through the motions of: fed, bathroom break, repeat. I want all to feel truly like they are being visited and attended to, not a chore to be done. Along with this, I understand all pets are different in what they need; Some need a ball thrown or some just want to be pet. Either way, my job is personalized care to make sure your baby is happy and cared for.

“Meagan took such great care of our German Shepherd!! She was very professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure he got his energy out while we were away. Would highly recommend her for all of your pet care needs!”

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.

“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!”

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I had a weekend trip planned and my 86yr old mom had just moved in with us again. I booked Stephanie to walk the dog 2x a day for 4 days. Not only was she always on time, she watched out for my mother as well and made sure I knew she was doing OK. I'll be booking every future need with Stephanie as long as she is available!”

About: I recently got married and moved to the area. I’m a Virginia tech animal science grad. I have worked in a boarding and daycare facility the past 2 years. I also have some dog training experience from college and in the kennel facility. Upon request I can offer training sessions for your pups. I recently moved to the area and still looking for a job that’s a good fit for me. In the meantime your pups will have all my free time! I have plenty of experience working with all types of dogs, including ones that are nervous greeters, food aggressive, barrier reactivity, leash reactivity and more. I understand every dog is different and will always work to make your dog comfortable in any environment. Big advocate for always having treats on hand and reading their body language at every interaction.

About: I provide compassionate and trustworthy pet care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your fur baby’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority I know how important it is to feel at peace when leaving your pet, and I’m here to help with that. I currently have free full time availability as I am taking online college classes, I am available anyday anytime Monday-Sunday to help love and care for your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, give medications if needed, and keep their space clean. (I used to work in a veterinary office.) I spend quality time with them through walks, playtime, and gentle attention so they don’t feel lonely or stressed. I also watch closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to the owner so they feel at ease.

Large neighborhood to walk them around. Also have a responsible teenage daughter who can help with feedings and bathroom breaks. Trash can is in the pantry for little to no access.

About: Hi, I’m Autumn! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Friends and family have always used me as their go to person that they trust with their animals. I also have a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different personalities. I know every pet has their own personality and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I work at a local bakery full time from 7am to 3pm, so I’m regularly available in the afternoons, evenings, and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. With a little advance notice I can often be flexible outside of those hours as well. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable as possible for the both of you. When you trust me with your pet you can expect lots of photo updates and someone who will truly love and care for them as if they were my own. I also understand the importance of treating every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for mine.

“Monique, is a wonderful and thoughtful puppy sitter. She is very knowledgeable about how to take proper care of your dogs. She's thoughtful, respectful, and professional. My pups love her and I'm so lucky we have her to watch them during the week. Thanks Monique!!??❤️❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets since I was young doing overnights, potty breaks, feeding, and exercising. I have also grown up with my own dogs and know how important it is to make sure our fur babies are taken care of properly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks with my personal dog, Kasey, and would love to have any others join with us! If you have a date that you are needing services for, please contact me! Personally, I love when my personal pets can roam the house and lay on furniture, but if you would like me to crate them I can!

“Hailey has been so good and patient with my 1 year old Dobi. He loves her and is always so excited to see her!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
