Dog Walking Northgate

About: Hello! I am an experienced dog walker and animal caretaker. I am a lover of all animals and have had a variety of animals as pets throughout my life (cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, hamsters), and can provide care for any of these animals. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and abilities and can provide any care they need. I currently work full-time from home and travel occasionally. I have a flexible schedule and I am able to walk dogs or complete drop-ins early in the morning, during my lunch break, after my work day, and anytime on the weekends. I am unable to board any cats or dogs in my home; however, I’m happy to sit in your home, stay as needed, and complete drop-ins while you’re away.

About: As the mom of Nola, my senior English Mastiff, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I bring patience, a gentle approach, and close attention to the little things that help pets feel comfortable. Caring for Nola has given me hands-on experience with senior dog care, giving oral medications, preparing meals for special feeding needs, and following consistent routines. I also understand that some pets need extra reassurance, especially during thunderstorms or when their family is away. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, follow your care instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and messages. My goal is for your baby to feel safe and loved, and for you to feel comfortable knowing how they’re doing. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits around your pet’s usual routine. Caring for my senior dog, Nola, is already part of my everyday life, so I understand the importance of consistent meals, potty breaks, medication schedules, and companionship. We’ll discuss your pet’s needs before booking to make sure I can give them the time and attention they deserve. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s familiar routine and your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, medications, and any special needs. I take a gentle, patient approach and give pets time to feel comfortable with me. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure, use a leash for walks, and stay mindful of anything your pet could get into. For cats, I’m especially careful around outside doors and respectful of their need for space. Before booking, I’d like to learn about your pet’s temperament, habits, emergency contacts, and veterinarian. I’ll respect your home, send photos and updates, and contact you promptly if anything seems unusual.

About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I have been a dog sitter for 10+ years, but an animal lover for my entire life. I would love the opportunity to care for your baby like they are my own while you are away. I have an 11 year old Yorkie named Bella who stills plays all day with the energy of a puppy. I am only able to host small dogs within my home and my baby would love to have a friend her size running around here. However, I am happy to care for any type/size dog within your home and for walks. I am currently working only two days a week so I have plenty of availability to care for your babies like they are my own! I have a fenced in yard with lots of area for your pup to run around! I also have a stroller available for any small/medium dog that is unable to do a full walk so they can still be included in the experience!

“We had a very, very last minute request but shawna was able to come through for us and Luna and went above and beyond. We really appreciate everything she did and I don’t think Luna missed us one bit because of her”

About: As mentioned, I work in vet med! I am experienced with all ages, temperaments, breeds, health issues, and needs! I love a couch potato but I also own and love a working breed. I understand the importance of routine & mental stimulation! I spoil my fur children & understand wanting to keep yours happy while you’re away, but also able to trust that they’re safe! I own a dog that is overcoming his reactivity & that has required a lot of training & positive reinforcement work from myself in the presence of triggers—so I understand the difference in reactivity/anxiety vs aggression. I work full time Fridays through Mondays currently, but I have full availability during the week on Tuesdays through Thursdays. I don’t mind early mornings or late nights I would never leave someone’s pet unattended while under my care. I like for pets to have my full attention when I’m there. It’s what I’d expect & would want for my own! I’m very familar with canine & feline body language, anxiety, & aggression, and I know how to appropriately and effectively approach/handle pets whether they’re scared, reactive, or excited!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own family dog as well as helping neighbors. I have also worked with dogs at my grandfather’s vet clinic since I was 15. Currently, I care for my own Goldendoodle. I just started nursing school in January, so my schedule isn’t as flexible as it used to be but I still love caring for pets whenever I can! Reoccurring walks are a little harder to commit to just because of school. I live in a gated community on the water and have four friendly dogs at home. I also have three spare crates available for guests if needed. Since I’m subscribed to BarkBox, we have plenty of toys but you’re always welcome to bring your own for the stay! I am committed to caring for your pets with the same love and attention as my own.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, cows, horses, and fish. My pets are treated like family. I have house trained dogs and can even teach a few tricks. My animals mostly stay inside. They are house trained but do go out to play often. They eat twice a day and sleep well at night. My pets are family members and I would treat anyone’s the same. I know how important they are to me and I would make sure they are comfortable and taken good care of. I even clean litter boxes.
