Dog Walking Northside

About: Although I currently have two pets of my own, I can’t get enough of animals. Therefore, spending time with other pets warms my heart endlessly. I have two cats that require lots of attention and love. They have separate feeding times and amounts, have multiple litter boxes, and need frequent brushings. One cat has urinary tract issues and sometimes has accidents that have to be cleaned up multiple times a day. They also enjoy being chased as a form of exercise, as well as “hunting” for their toys. My one cat is allowed outside only if he is being held or is in his harness. The other cat does not go outside. I live very close to a road so I do not like the idea of letting my cats out on their own.

“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”

“Sally did a great job providing my dog with lunch time walks! She was very communicative about her arrival and departure times and kept me updated on anything that happened during the walks. I look forward to using her services again in the future!”

“Madison is a wonderful dog walker! She takes excellent care of my dog Hootie and gives him lots of cuddles! I would recommend her highly for any person’s pet’s needs!”

About: I have owned dogs/cats since I was a very small child and have cared for them like they were my siblings/children every time. I currently have an 11yo cat, Diesel, that is my heart and joy! My long term bubbie was a Rottweiler/husky mix that was with my family for 14 amazing years, and we have cared for countless foster dogs since then. In addition I care for friends/coworkers/others dogs regularly and get glowing reviews the dogs are relaxed and at peace when the owner returns home vs experiencing separation anxiety. I am a teacher, my summers are free giving me the availability to be attentive to your furry loved ones during this time while you vacation! I am very affectionate with my cat and ensure all his needs are met the moment he makes me aware of them. Same for my clients’ pets, the slightest whimper or upset sound I will tend to them and figure out what has disturbed them until we’re able to settle back into a comfortable space in the home. This is usually when I do overnight stays and the pets get anxious.

“Christopher is the best! So communicative and has great availability. My Goldendoodle loves him!”

About: My experience goes back to being the go-to walker for our family dog as a kid to minding my cat today. It’s not unusual for me to meet a dog or cat and become acquainted in minutes I work from home with a flexible schedule. Therefore, I can be on-call at various times. I’m also used to fitting pet care for my cat into my daily routine. I make sure to follow all instructions laid out by the pet parent and get clarification wherever necessary, as well as communicate any issues that may arise.

About: Hello! My name is Carson, and I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I have been around animals my entire life. Whether it is for a short walk or an extended overnight stay, I am flexible, reliable, responsible, and excited to spend time with your dogs, cats, and other pets, both inside and outside. I especially like to house sit, take care of cats, and walk dogs but am willing to do other tasks. Unfortunately, I am unable to board your dogs due to apartment limitations, and I do not accept bookings that are longer than 1 week. I'm currently a graduate student with a very flexible and variable schedule, so I can come to your house during weekdays and weekends as needed! I care for pets in my clients' homes where they are most safe and comfortable. I will let them out in fenced yards and take them on neighborhood walks!

“Megan is the best. My boys are so happy when they know she’s coming!”

About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’ve always loved dogs and long walks, so dog walking is the perfect combo for me. Whether your pup loves adventure or just a calm stroll around the block, I’m here to make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they need. Reliable, kind, and always ready for tail wags and happy steps! 🐾🖤 I work from home which allows plenty of afternoon walk flexibility. I am also available most weekends. I’m an early risers and love to be active. Plenty of walks and playtime here! I also have experience with older dogs. My house is set up with three baby gates to provide safe spaces for dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I also have a fenced in yard and neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks.

“She did great with Juno! Juno is a wild one and she’s so sweet with her . Shows up on her walks and communicated how she does . Highly recommend !”

About: I provide attentive, loving care and prioritize your pet's safety and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Your pets wellbeing is my first priority. I am retired now. I'm looking for a fulfilling way to make extra money doing something I love. Why not care for another's pet daily. And please, serious requests only. I can only come to the pet's residence. Since I am a cat owner, I understand that they need to be in their own environment. Also, I'm not sure how my cat would act if I brought your pooch to stay for the day. I have no problem caring for your pet in their own environment.

“I could tell from the pictures that my Aussie, who can be a little nervous and tentative with new people, was comfortable and happy with Eric. I recommend his services 100%!”

“Clark & I know Melissa is outstanding! Clark immediately bonded with Melissa, as I did too. When we met, she started getting to know Clark & interact with me about him (his health, fav pet areas, etc). Melissa always visits with us after their walk, never rushing. Melissa is a pleasure too have around. To the point, I highly recommend Melissa for anyone looking for an exemplary dog walker!”

“This was our first time with Nikka and she was everything and more that we could have hoped for!!! Her kind and professional manner was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Pics and clear communication made us feel so comfy that we already booked her again!”

About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!

About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life and this is the first time I'm without my own. I'm very good at feeling animals needs out and staying connected with them so that they feel as comfortable as possible in a new space. I currently work from home with an incredibly flexible schedule to walk and take your pets out as needed. For this reason I'm normally available seven days a week. I have a spacious house for pet sitting as well as a nice fenced-in back yard to accommodate the sun bathing best boys(and girls) 😎

About: I have had 9 cats of my own. I have cared for kittens from age 2 weeks old, having to bottle feed them to senior cats who needed medication. I'm open with owners about things I find. I once noticed a cat I was caring for had worms and I relayed this to the owner. Another time, I noticed during a nail trim that a cat had a claw growing into its paw pad. The owner was so glad I caught these things and informed them. I have driven pets to the vet for a client. I have walked dogs, and cared for chickens and geckos. I am precise when following directions provided by the pet owner. I LOVE taking pictures of pets and will send them over every day. I have 4 cats of my own, so their care is a daily routine for me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for other pets. I usually go to the clients' home for pet sitting cats or dog walking. Although, I have a fenced-in yard with a privacy fence, which allows me to have dogs over.

“Brooklyn was great. She walked our dog 3 days a week. She was reliable, on time and an excellent communicator. She also watched our dog over a long weekend trip, it Wasson nice to know Stinger was being well cared for. Highly recommend.”

“Alison has been very reliable and responsive. She’s been walking our new puppy for the last couple weeks to help us get her out of the crate during our work day so she isn’t in there more than 4hrs. Puppy dealing with some pretty bad stomach issues and Alison very helpful with this as far as checking in with worried pup mom and offering more water/different options when pup not up for a walk. She’s been wonderful and we’re very grateful. Will continue to use her services as long as we can and are in a situation where work schedule forces pup into crate for too many hours.”
