Dog Walking Northland-Lyceum

“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”

“Rico is amazing with our two Irish Red & White Setters. As he learned today, Truvy is very adept at scaling fences. Rico was on top of the situation and thwarted her planned escape.”

About: People have called me the "dog-whisperer", but I have an affinity with animals of all kinds. I have had several happy and sometimes spoiled dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, I am also the only person I know who never lost their hamster as a child. I love going on long walks and hikes, I even once had a cat who liked to go on walks with me. Dogs I have cared for in the past, have been known to miss me after they went home and were excited to see me again the next time. I am almost always available, very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged companion on a walk or a nice long hike. I am a full time student. My availability is generally open in the afternoon and evenings during the week, with full availability on the weekend. I like to follow instructions so a list is handy, I can take your pets on walks or hikes, and im very good at keepimg animals company and entertained.

“Alexandra was absolutely amazing with my Enzo. She was generous with her time and went above and beyond for me. It makes working long hours so much easier when you know your dog is being well cared for.”

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they can sense that. Many pets warm up to me quickly, and I think it’s because I approach them with patience, calm energy, and respect for their space. I make an effort to create familiarity—especially in their own homes—so they feel safe and comfortable. Building trust with each pet is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy. I currently work part-time in a hybrid role while completing my master’s in public health. I’m typically in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with hours varying depending on meetings. Outside of that, I’m home and able to provide structured care, regular outdoor time, and engagement. I’m intentional about scheduling to make sure pets receive dependable, consistent care. I provide care based on each pet’s usual routine and needs. I aim to maintain a consistent routine with regular outdoor time, play, feeding schedules, and structured downtime to help pets feel comfortable and settled. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established household routines as closely as possible.

“Rebecca was wonderful! She came over before to meet Jojo and was very attentive to Jo’s needs while we were out of town! We will defy use Rebecca again!”

About: Dog dad to two dogs, Archie and Minnie. I work from home full time so your dog is never left alone. I take one guest dog at a time to ensure personalized attention. Thank you! I work from home full time, so your dog is never left alone during the day. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits on weekends and select weekdays. I keep my schedule light - one dog at a time - so every pup gets my full attention. I have two friendly resident dogs, Archie and Minnie, who love meeting new friends. I require a meet and greet before every first booking so dogs can get comfortable. Your dog will be treated like family - not just another booking.

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

“Hannah showed up when she said she would. She also communicates with me in a timely fashion. Her rates are reasonable and my dogs looked happy to walk with her in their pictures. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Jessie has been amazing with Rocky. My mom and dad are so fortunate to have found her. Rocky gets to go on long much needed walk.”

“Matthew was easy to communicate with and was good at handling Pepper, who can be strong and easily stimulated on walks. I definitely recommend him and plan on booking in the future.”

“Alex was timely with his dog walks and was always sure to send updates and pictures! He doesn’t leave until your dog is comfortable! Thank you Alex!”

About: 18 years of dog/cat sitting experience who has a deep love for all animals. We treat every pet like they are our own. Guaranteed they leave happy every time! We take every dog we watch for at least one long walk daily (If they are able), and can adjust as needed based on your preferences. We have a very open and accommodating schedule. Your pet will never be left alone all day! Melissa and I make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. We have fenced in yard with a good amount of space for dogs to run and have a 4 year old yellow lab who loves to play and will help get energy out. She has the awareness to pull back if other dogs don’t want to play with her. We have a 7 year old cat who will typically hide upstairs in her room while new animals are over. Luna is friendly when she comes around. I have a long time girlfriend Melissa, who lives with me and will be helping out.

“Ellen was so sweet! She met Remi beforehand and she was extremely prompt and took Remi on two walks in one day—extremely pleased and will definitely be booking again!”

About: I love dogs! I've had dogs since I was a kid, so basically have been around them and taking care of them for my whole life. I am good with nail trims and baths as well! My schedule is pretty open. I have a car as well, so getting there wont be an issue. I work at wegmans part time, so i have plenty of free time! I have a little dog and a bearded dragon. Both house trained (yes the dragon poops in the yard lol) i usually walk dogs 3-5 times a day depending on how often they wanna go. I keep nails trimmed and stuff myself as well.

“Kenan was very helpful, followed instructions and communicated well. He was very good with Reese!”

“I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have met Portia. She is SO skilled with challenging dogs, as evidenced by her work with my pup. Winston is known at his vet as “that dog (somewhat affectionately😆). He is a reactive, anxious rescue who takes a very long time to warm up to people; I knew it might be a struggle to find a regular walker for him. Portia has been incredibly patient, kind, and diligent in working with Winston. I’m thrilled that she’s earned his trust, because now I can stay at work all day without having to worry about running back during my lunch break to walk him. I’ve told many of my pet-parent friends about Portia, since she’s so incredible with Winston- I imagine she’s the same with other animals! I give Portia my very highest rating; Winston and I are incredibly lucky to have her in our lives!”

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
