Dog Walking North Ridge

About: Hi, I am Belle! I have always had a love for animals. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur-baby especially with a stranger. I love & treat my clients’ pets as my own. I have a bachelor's degree in animal behavior. I have taken various animal classes such as animal enrichment, welfare, cognition, dog/cat behavior, and positive reinforcement training classes. I am experienced with dog & cat behavior. I worked at a dog & cat boarding facility/doggy daycare. I interned at the SPCA Serving Erie County with their behavior department working with the dogs & cats. I worked with many fearful, reactive, and under socialized dogs. I also worked with under socialized/fearful cats & kittens. I am experienced in administering medications. I mostly pet sit dogs & cats but I have cared for fish, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, chickens, and would be open to other species! I have 5 purrfect cats of my own at home! WEEKLY VISITS & WALKS: I am currently accepting new clients in need of weekly drop-in visits or dog walks. I have availability Monday-Friday. MY SCHEDULE: I work a part time job that is very flexible with my pet sitting schedule. This allows me to work shorter shifts when I am pet sitting. Drop in visits and walks are scheduled within a 2 hour time frame determined between myself and the client unless a pet requires medication at a specific time. HOUSE SITTING: Basic House Sit: (Non-Constant Daytime Care + Overnights) Rate: $100 per day A “Basic House Sit” includes overnight care and non-constant daytime care. I will spend a minimum of 8 hours overnight but typically I will be with your pets for 10-12 hours. Most days I will need to leave for 6-9 hours during the day. Dogs will never be left for longer than 8 consecutive hours. I guarantee that I will be at your house at the agreed upon times to feed your pets breakfast & dinner. If your pet(s) cannot be left alone for up to 8 consecutive hours there will be additional fees. DROP-IN VISITS 30 minute visit - $30 1 hour visit - $45 DOG WALKS 30 minute walk - $30 + $5 each additional dog 1 hour walk - $45 + $5 each additional dog - Walks may be shortened and finished as drop in visits in severe weather conditions determined by myself. CONSTANT CARE 3 or more consecutive hours: $20 per hour Rover does not have an option to request visits longer than 1 hour. To request hourly care please send a “drop in visit” request and message me to discuss details. Prior to booking new clients I require a meet & greet with you and your pets in your home. This will allow us to determine if we will be a good match for each other.

About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.

About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

“Melissa is awesome! I needed a dogwalker last minute and she totally came to my rescue. She was beyond personable and professional, and I know my puppy enjoyed having Melissa come take him out for a midday stroll. She even practiced manners with him!! ?”

During walks, I stay alert to surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and water when needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal environment.

As a patient care assistant and nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable providing individualized care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll treat them like family. I work part-time while attending school, which allows me flexibility for pet care. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I communicate regularly with pet owners and can provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and strive to create a calm, positive environment.

Safety first! I also have my treat pouch with me at every walk for positive reinforcement to encourage good leash manners.

“Did a great job.”

About: I’m a former veterinary technician, aspiring veterinarian, dog mom and animal lover. I walked with Wag for 5 years and have owned pets my whole life! I work but am available typically every 4-8 hours during the day and some overnights to care for your pet. I am available everyday, weekends and holidays. I know how to handle and work with dogs of all breeds, temperament and size, along with cats! I would love to check in on your pets in your home, take them for walks, or anything else you may need

About: I have had both cats and dogs for nearly my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, some with special needs. I believe that for the love and companionship animals offer us, the least we can do for them is make sure they are well loved back and always happy and healthy! As of Monday, May 18th 2026 my schedule is back to full availability. I look forward to helping with your pet care needs and making new friends! ☺️ If you have a fenced in yard, I am more than happy to play with your pup in their own yard. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I would just ask that their leash and a secure collar be placed in an area where it is easy to find, as well as instructions of how far/long you would like them to be walked/exercised. I am also willing to accommodate any other requests clients may have to ensure the safety and well being of their pets.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up so I know basic care and would like to be able to do more and help others who need it! I work part time, but right now my schedule is up in the air. I am ready and able to make just about anything work! I am unable to house any dogs as I live in a campus setting. However, I am happy to walk them in a safe area, cuddle with them, and play with them!

About: I’ve had experience with cats and dogs for the last 15 years, I grew up with pets, and have two dogs of my own now. I work full time, Monday- Friday 830-430 and an occasional Saturday. I have a flexible workday, so I can schedule lunch breaks around my schedule. I have a big fenced in back yard with a doggie door so options for in and outside play with my loving dog Ollie, and tons of toys.

About: At age 10, I started my own dog-sitting service from my backyard. Since then, friends and neighbors have consistently trusted me to care for their pets, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I have also worked with animals in a number of other capacities: behavior consultations, training and enrichment, rescue, and as a veterinary assistant—both emergency and general practice. I take a particular interest in reactive and fearful dogs. My own dogs were very high maintenance with epilepsy and severe anxiety, and my cat had diabetes, so I took their care very seriously. I treat other people’s pets how I would want mine treated, and that is with the utmost care and respect for the pet's and the owner’s expectations and boundaries. I am committed to providing a safe, healthy, and fun environment for each pet in my care. I work overnights, so I have time during the day to care for clients’ animals. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet and will spend as much time as possible with them. I keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I care for your pet in your own home instead of home instead of mine—it’s what they know and where they’re most comfortable. I’ll update you with pictures and videos often!

About: I have been taking care of a variety of animals since I was 5 years old! If you need someone trustworthy, caring, and kind to animals to watch your babies, I am definitely the one to call! I have taken care of many different types of animals including birds, cats, dogs (big and small), bunnies, guinea pigs, lizards, chinchillas, squirrels, fish, and more! I treat all animals as my own, and I believe that each and every creature deserves respect and love, no matter how small (or how crazy) they may be! I recently graduated college with a degree in Elementary Education, and am on the hunt for jobs! For the time being, I have a completely open schedule, and am free to visit your pets anytime you would like me to be there! I can care for any type of animal, small, big, feathered, scaled, furry, etc.! I am extremely careful when working in other peoples' homes, I know how nerve-racking it can be! I will care for each and every animal to the best of my abilities, making sure every animal receives the love and care they deserve. When I am watching your animals, you don't have to worry! I can promise they will be in the best hands possible!

About: At a young age I walked the neighborhood, knocking on doors, asking "can I walk your dog?" I have always loved dogs and I am a natural caretaker. I have experience with all ages and sizes! I will treat your pet like they are my own. I work full time however I work from home and am extremely flexible (not tied to a computer/phone at all times). I'd prefer to discuss the schedule with any potential pet parents since each schedule is unique. I would prefer to provide care in the pets home. I have 4 young children so my home can be chaotic. Bringing a stranger around your pet may be hard, bringing them to a chaotic environment would only make it worse.

About: I have experience as an overnight pet sitter, drop-in visitor, and dog walker, providing dependable and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I truly love dogs and all animals, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about! One of my greatest strengths is communication. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel informed and at ease, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I treat every pet like they are my own and work hard to ensure both pets and owners feel happy, comfortable, and confident in my care. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the day for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Along with my nannying experience and active lifestyle, caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, organized, and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, providing overnight care, or stopping in for visits and playtime. I always make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine when I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care requests to make sure each pet feels as stress free as possible. I love spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention based on their personality and needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
