Dog Walking Northfield

“Myka has been wonderful with our puppy— he has very nurturing and has a calming presence for my super energetic pup. He is responsive, reliable, and eager to help reinforce the puppy training we have started!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my mom worked as a dog sitter and trainer, so I grew up learning how to care for pets and build a strong, lasting, bond. I spent 5 years working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for pups of every size, age, and personality – from playful puppies to gentle seniors to the lovable chaos gremlin. For the past 4 years, I’ve also been pet sitting on my own. Working from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day to keep pets company, give them attention, and stick to their routines. Dogs are my specialty, but I’ve also cared for cats, reptiles, and even chickens! I’m confident handling all kinds of critters and love getting to know each one’s unique quirks. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a snuggle buddy, or just someone who “gets” them, I’m your gal. GoodPup certified dog trainer. I'm available for visits whenever you need, day or night. Your pet(s) will get plenty of love, playtime, and care while you’re out, no matter the hour! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in training and years of hands-on experience, I understand how important it is to build trust and create a secure environment. I take the time to connect with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and understood. I’m extremely mindful of safety protocols – doors and gates are always securely closed, even if I’m just stepping out for a moment. On walks, I use an extra leash for added security. I also never give treats unless they’re approved by you to avoid any upset tummies or allergic reactions.

“Audrey did a fantastic job walking our dog! Great communication and Cooper was always so happy in the pictures. Thank you, Audrey!”

About: I have had and taken care of dogs for over 30 years! I have always been a dog lover in particular but also have plenty of experience caring for cats as well. I work as a PCA weekdays 9:30-4:30 but have the flexibility to do drop in visits with my client during my work hours. I believe that our pets are family members and always treat them as such. Lots of attention will be given. I guarantee it! I work Monday through Friday 9:30-4:30. I am available before, after and during my shift. Open availability on weekends and I am available on most holidays. I treat pets as family. Lots of love and attention. I am not one to have a no pets on the furniture policy that's for sure!

About: With 18 years of caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, I truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or farm animals that thrive on routine and gentle handling, I’m dedicated to making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. From feeding and daily care to keeping their spaces clean and cozy, I treat every animal like part of the family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets and farm animals are in kind, reliable hands while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a naturally flexible schedule, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable feeding or walking times. Whether it’s stopping in for midday visits, keeping up with routine care, or offering extra time and companionship when pets need it, I can adjust my schedule to match each animal’s needs. My open availability means pets get dependable, unrushed care—and owners get peace of mind knowing someone responsible is always close by. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routines consistent and making them feel safe and comfortable. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feeding and potty schedules. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines closely—feeding the same foods, maintaining familiar walk times, keeping litter boxes or living areas clean, and giving plenty of affection and company. I always make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, rest, and reassurance so they feel relaxed and well cared for, no matter where they are.

About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix many years ago. He was with us over 14 years and we loved him so much! We just recently adopted a kitten a little over a year ago. She is a tuxedo house cat named Smokey. Drop-in visits and dog walking are what we are able to offer as of right now. We may bring boarding back into the mix when Smokey is a bit older. Jenny works part time and has time for drop-in visits as well as dog walking. If allowed by the pet parents our kids (10 and 12) would also love to help out! We play with Smokey in our home with balls, springs, socks! I am happy to pet and play with your pet. Feed, let out, clean litter boxes, and taking leashed dogs for walks.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since the age of 12. Most recently I have been working for almost a year at a dog boarding facility. I also own 3 dogs and 2 cats who have always been around other animals and are all up to date on vaccines I work from home and work Friday and Saturday during the mornings. If I am able to help I will definitely help in any way I can just message me I have a fenced yard and plenty of room for playing. I have baby gates around our home for the pups and keep all animals near at all time

About: I’m a caring person who loves dogs and grew up with a lab. I have experience with taking care of friends puppies and senior dogs. I love to play hard with them so they can sleep good for you! I can walk dogs before I go to work and, take them out immediately when I get back home. I will also make sure they are being fed at the right times. I’m happy to transport pets and have them stay at my apartment for up to a week. I will provide long walks with them on leash and follow procedures at a client’s home. Making sure that the pet is comfortable is a top priority for me.

“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”

“Sarah was great and I will definitely use her to walk the pups again. She is a great communicator and took pics and made sure to let me know she picked them up and that they were home after their walk.”

About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.

About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.

About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.
