Dog Walking In North Garrison Heights

“My black lab Sophie loves Judson! She gets so excited to see him for her walks. Judson has been so great to work with her on training during their walks with a focus on her reactivity to other dogs. So glad to have Judson in Sophie's world!”

“My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.”

About: No matter the personality of your fur baby, rambunctious, shy, nervous or high maintenance they will get the care, activity, and attention that fits their needs. I've been around all kinds of dogs most of my life and doggie and house sat through high school and college to support myself. I believe that our four-legged family members are to be seen, heard and treasured and very much understand the part they play in our lives, because of this I also understand the responsibility I have to the safety and well being of your loved one and look forward to getting to know that sweet face that brings you so much joy! I have a huge fenced yard and if your sweetie likes the company of other dogs I love field trips to the dog park!

“My GSD is a challenge to walk and requires long walk rain or shine. Chelsea took on her challenge by giving her lots of love and attention. She showed up rain, cold and shine. She is reliable and communication was frequent. Thank you Chelsea for being Maggie's BFF while I was away.”

About: I’ve owed cats my whole life and have had my first dog for 11 years now and she is the apple of my eye. I have helped take care of many friends and family’s pets since I was little. I have experience with dogs and cats as well as experience with reptiles and amphibians, so I have no problem handles live worms and crickets for feedings! Also to note I have worked at petsmart grooming salon as well as a dog and cat daycare/boarding facility. I look forward to meeting all your wonderful pets! I’m currently a stay at home mom with my kids in school trying to fill my hrs to help others with their fur babies when needed. I will make sure I understand the instructions set for me to the fullest extent. The animals will have their needs and wants met and being safe with me. I have reliable transportation. I do have a fenced in yard if that is ever needed in the future.

About: **Last minute bookings considered -message me for details** As a pet sitter, I provide attentive and individualized care tailored to each pet's temperament and needs. My background includes experience with senior cats, administering oral medications (but can learn injections or iv), and supporting anxious pets through calm, structured visits. NOTE: 10% of all earnings will be donated to a non-profit to assist humans, pets, and/or animal shelters! 😊 I prioritize a clean, safe, and peaceful environment, ensuring your pet feels secure and well-cared-for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind—and your pet the comfort of familiar, consistent care. I also love taking pet portraits too! See all my pet pics! I can offer flexible pet care scheduling and dedicated attention to each pet I visit. My days revolve around providing consistent, quality care—ensuring your pet’s needs and routines are always my top priority. Will find a solution if I have multiple pet visits or clients in a day. I like to know your pet’s personality, daily routine, and comfort level with new people. It helps to know if they’re shy or social, any quirks or favorite hiding spots, and what kind of play or affection they enjoy. Please also share details about feeding times, potty habits, and any health or medication needs—so I can keep things consistent and stress-free for them. Or any other information you feel is necessary. For safety, I require that I can independently leash and handle your dog. During the meet and greet, I may ask to interact with your dog briefly without you present to ensure they’re comfortable with me. If a dog is unable to be safely handled during the stay, the booking may need to be adjusted or ended early. If your dog has aggressive or very anxious behavior with new sitters or their space, I suggest you book a few dog walks to establish trust.

“YAY! So grateful I found Elaine. I twisted my ankle and she was there helping me every day for 7 days so that I could rest. Her energy, kindness, flexibility, communication, and love of animals is so evident. I would let Elaine take care of all of my animals at any moment. I will absolutely have her walk Ginger again. And also boarding!”

About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I previously cared for my own two senior diabetic dogs, one of whom also had a heart condition and Cushing’s disease, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, trust, and careful attention to detail. I am comfortable with senior dogs, special diets, oral medications, injections, and dogs who need a little extra care. Our home is currently pet-free, which allows me to give visiting dogs my full attention and can be a good fit for dogs who do better without other resident pets. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for family dogs and love giving dogs walks, attention, playtime, and affection based on their individual needs. Safety is always my priority, and I follow owner instructions closely so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work from home full time so I have a fairly flexible schedule which comes in handy for dogs needing a little extra care. I understand the importance of keeping them on a schedule whether it be for walks or medication. My primary goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s routine, temperament, energy level, and specific needs. I do my best to keep feeding times, walks, medications, exercise, and daily routines as consistent as possible. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including oral medications, injections, and special diets. Our home is currently pet-free, which allows me to give visiting dogs my full attention. This can be especially helpful for dogs who prefer a calmer space or do better without other resident pets. I also have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and notes so you know how your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and answer any questions before or during your dog’s stay.

“Cassie, is amazing! Our dog gets soooo excited to see her when she comes. She has been so flexible and adaptive to our dogs needs. I know she is in good hands when we are away!!!”

About: I’ve had pets since the age of five, and have loved taking care of animals since! I’ve helped take care of plenty of dogs, big and small. I’ve owned Alaskan Malamutes, Labradors, Dobermans, etc and loved to walk them all. I’m good at getting pets to take their medicine and love to give seniors the extra care and attention they deserve. I’ve had several dogs since they were puppies and have potty trained them and taught them neat tricks too! I’m familiar with dog puzzles and other mentally stimulating toys (gotta keep those brains busy!) I’m also comfortable with reactive dogs-I owned an 85lb reactive dog and took him safely on walks and hikes with me. The safety/comfort of the dog and any other people/animals is of the utmost importance. I promise to take care of your baby like they’re my baby. I work until about 2pm but have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to help take care of or walk your pet! Currently I’m not available to take pets into my home. I have a senior kitty who I am still getting to know and my main goal is to keep her comfortable and safe until I learn how she is around other animals.

“Excellent”

“Mika has walked my dogs twice now and it has gone very smoothly and well both times. She's a good communicator, did great with the instructions I left, and is very friendly. I highly recommend Mika and will continue to use her to care for my dogs.”

About: I love animals and have grown up with them. I have over 15 years of experience working with, and being around all kinds of animals, breeds, and temperaments. My experience with dogs includes my own, pet sitting (long term & short term), working as a veterinary assistant and interning at the zoo. I have a very calm, and patient personality, this often works well for dogs - especially those that are more nervous. I have worked with senior pets, puppies, experience administering medications, etc. I get to know your furry family member and observe behaviors and what they like and don’t like. Also paying attention to change in behavior. I took a break from offering pet care services due to life changes, which is why there’s a gap between previous and most current pet care, but I am excited to get back to doing what I enjoy most! 😊 I currently work a full time job in the hospital and work variable shifts. Always open to take a look at your requests and see if it will match up with my work schedule! If it lands on days I do work, I will be there before and after work as well as sleep in your home if that is your request. Days that I don’t work, I’ll be there more frequent. I make sure to follow all directions left by my client, whether their pet is crated, what to look out for, what they like/dislike, feeding schedules, etc. I always keep in contact with my client if anything seems “off” or different about their furry family member.

About: I've had my own pets since I was born and became the primary caregiver when I was 11. I've also been relied on to care for family members pets consistently over the last 4 years. I have a super flexible schedule as I work as a novelist and can work from anywhere. Whatever your needs I can probably work with. While in your home I will give your pets the care and love they deserve and strive to leave the home as I found it. I can't wait to make a new friend!

“Amy was timely in her responses. She followed instructions for getting into my home and getting my pup ready for their walk. Through my doorbell camera, Amy talked kindly to my pup and remembered to put on his rain jacket. After the walk, she spent time wiping off his paws and also locked up the house how I asked. Would definitely recommend Amy to others!”

“Steele is fantastic! He takes amazing care of Nigel and is super knowledgeable and punctual. We love that he always keeps us in the loop, whether he's sharing a quick update about how the walk went or staying on top of scheduling. I’d trust him with Nigel any day!”
