Dog Walking Northside

About: 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and 15 years caring for cats in both personal and family settings. Skilled in daily walks, exercise routines, feeding schedules, administering basic care, playtime, companionship, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Experienced with energetic puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and understanding animal behavior and comfort needs. Dedicated to reliable, compassionate, full-service pet care with a true lifelong passion for animals. Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication needs, and making sure every pet gets personal attention, comfort, and consistency throughout the day. I care for every pet like they are my own by keeping a clean, calm, and safe environment. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

“Emily was a life-saver. I had to leave town rather quickly for 5 days and have two dogs. She was willing to take them 3 times a day for the 5 days and kept them fed and treated! She sent me picture updates and texted to let me know they were doing well, which I greatly appreciated. I could tell when I got back that, while they missed me, they had fun while I was gone. ”

About: *NEW CLIENTS* If you have sent a message/request on Sunday, I will respond to you on Monday. Thank you! Hello! I’m Lexi, and I would love to help care for your furry friend! I have had pets my entire life and know how important it is for them to continue receiving lots of love, attention, and exercise in our absence.  Whether you're looking for dog walking services while you're at work or drop-in visits when you're out of town, I'm happy to help! I want to know that my pets are cared for and loved while I'm away, and I want to provide you with that same assurance and peace of mind. I also know how important it is that dogs receive daily exercise, but know only too well that life can get busy, so I'm happy to come and play or walk with your dog!  I do not currently offer overnight stays, but if your pet can go all night without someone present, I'm happy to create a custom schedule of drop-ins based on their needs. I'm also happy to do some household tasks, such as watering plants and washing litter boxes, at an additional cost. Note: I'm happy to collect mail at no additional cost. If you are looking for someone to love on your pet in your absence, please reach out and let me know how I can help!    *BEFORE BOOKING* ~ I require a meet & greet before accepting a booking and therefore do not accept bookings with less than 3 days' notice, except in certain situations. ~My current service radius is 3 miles (or up to 10 minutes from my house) for multiple drop-ins and 6 miles for dog walking (or 1x day drop-in visits). I'm happy to book outside of my service radius, but please note that these bookings will be subject to a $1 per extra mile fee. ~ If you are booking walks, dog/s must be leash-trained (no excessive pulling, leash biting, etc.). ~ Up to 3 cats are included in my cat care rate. There is a $5 per cat charge for more than three cats. I currently work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. When submitting a service request, please send a message letting me know what you need, and I'll let you know whether I can accommodate. :) I am very conscientious when it comes to a pet's safety. When your furry friend and I are together, you can rest assured that I will do my utmost to keep them safe and properly cared for. I am also happy to send photo updates if requested.

About: I've taken care of my own two dogs since I was 8 years old. I have experience in basic training for young pets as well as senior care for older pets. Since then, I have been entrusted to care for friends' and families' pets for over 10 years! I'm currently working part-time with open availability, so I will have all the time for your lovely pets. I am available for all your pet needs with my open schedule! I will be respectful to your home and your pet by following your pet's routine, keep their space clean, and provide regular updates for your peace of mind.

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. I do work a full time job but everyone’s hours are getting cut so I decided to give this a shot. I try to be as flexible as possible and work around my job. I live in a house with a decent sized fenced in back yard. I do have 3 cats and 2 dogs but my animals can be easily separated from yours if needed or put in a kennel.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾💓 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day since it’s currently summer. After summer, I will be Busy Mon-Fri Mornings, but will be able to work in the afternoons. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have a fully fenced backyard & front yard that can be split. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own. 🐶🐱💗

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

“Dalya is awesome!! Walked and hung out with our puppy, and sent plenty of photos/videos. She sent timely messages during her scheduled visit and was so quick to respond. Will be keeping her in mind for the future!”

About: I have had cats as pets my whole life and dogs as an adult. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years to dogs from puppies to seniors. Times have ranged from weekends to a month. I started fostering kittens when covid hit. I have found joy in caring for animals with all their different personalities. I have become experienced in all things kittens : bottle feeding , tube feeding administering medicine (my neighbor will even call me to give her pets pills) flea baths ringworm baths, brushing teeth you name it . I have even had to help kittens cross the rainbow bridge. It has been bitter sweet , but the love they give is more then enough. All animals deserve the best treatment and love we can give them I have been in education for 20 years teaching art and currently an administrator for the districts Fine Arts Department. My schedule is flexible enough to be able to check on animals during the day so they are taken care of. I have found pet sitting and fostering to be very rewarding and someday would like to start my own fostering service . Foster group Tall Tail Rescue . My job is flexible enough that i can leave for lunch and take care of your pets in the middle of the day as well. I have three cats that have been around lots of dog and cat “visitors” . Fostering cats has helped, … oh here comes another friend

“Hana helped out at short notice and it was very easy to arrange Baloo’s walking schedule. Communication was good and we will definitely use again. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Emma, and I have over 8 years of pet-sitting experience caring for both cats and dogs throughout high school and college. Including check ins, walks, and playtime. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, chinchillas, and guinea pigs. I currently have a Flemish Giant rabbit named Gravy. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own by providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while maintaining their normal routines. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. I currently work full-time, but I maintain a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I am available all day on Fridays and Saturdays, after 12:00 PM on Sundays, after 6:00 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and before 12:00 PM on Wednesdays. When I am not at work, I am free and do not have any other obligations. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs within my availability. When caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection based on what each pet enjoys most. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm environment and extra cuddles, I adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I am also attentive to changes in behavior and always prioritize your pet's safety and well-being. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep living areas clean and tidy, and strive to maintain a familiar environment so your pets experience as little stress as possible while you're away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to help give you peace of mind. As someone who has grown up around animals and cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to ensure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for during my time with them.

About: I am a mom to 3 human babies and 2 babies with paws! Our pets are an important part of our family and I will give yours the same love as my own. I have lived with animals my whole life and understand what it takes to keep them comfortable, healthy and safe. Enjoy your time away and I’ll make sure you come home to happy animals! I am a stay at home mom to 3 awesome kids which keeps my schedule very flexible! Aside from getting my daughter to and from school I have quite a bit of free time! I have a fenced yard but prefer to be outside with the dogs when they are out. I don’t have a doggy door because I prefer to keep my cat inside!

“Ana is great! I hired her to walk my 3-year old husky. She showed up on time, walked him around the neighborhood while taking lots of photos, played with him after the walk, and gave him food and water. My dog loves her! She even took in an Amazon package for me that was sitting on my porch! I highly recommend Ana!”

About: Beyond caring for my own pets, I have experience providing care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and needs through family, friends, and word-of-mouth referrals. I’ve done everything from walks and meal time to bath time and giving medication (sometimes with a little persuasion and a lot of treats)! I am also an active volunteer with Saving Hope Rescue, which has strengthened my knowledge, reliability, and passion for animal care. I work part-time with a flexible, varying schedule, which allows me to fit in plenty of time for pet care during the week. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting outside of work hours. I’ve also recently applied to master’s programs and look forward to continuing to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine alongside my studies. I provide care right in your home so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their own space (no stressful changes needed!). I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, played with, and given lots of attention and affection. I also follow any specific routines or instructions closely—whether that’s meals, meds, or favorite game time rituals—so everything feels familiar and stress-free while you’re away.

About: Hi! Those who know me best know how passionate I am about animals. I’m proud to have spent over 13 hours volunteering at the humane society. Count on me to cherish your pets as dearly as you do! A college graduate, currently working part time and living at home with my folks. Applying to graduate programs and planning for my future!

I regularly search the internet for facts and strategies that can help me maximize my pets happiness, health and longevity.

About: With over 15 years of pet care experience and a proud dog mom myself, caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and nothing makes me happier than meeting new furry friends and giving them the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just quality cuddle time, I treat every pet like family. I can’t wait to meet your baby! I have an incredibly flexible schedule being that I work for myself it allows me the availability to provide top notch care 24/7! Let’s chat! I have a fenced yard and my fur baby is incredibly friendly, I’ve never experienced an issue having other dogs around both my dog or kids.

About: Hi! A lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent to two miniature poodles. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, which is why I treat every pet like part of our family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and low stress experience where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and personalized care. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and special needs, and strive to make every dog feel at home while you’re away I offer dog walking services for dogs of all sizes and may have availability throughout the week depending on my work schedule. Boarding is available Thursday through Sunday only, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to the dogs staying in my home and provide a calm, family style experience. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in an apartment with a secure outdoor area for supervised potty breaks, along with regular walks and a structured routine. For boarding, I specialize in small and medium sized dogs and only accept one family at a time to ensure a peaceful environment and personalized care. Dogs must be comfortable sleeping in a crate overnight for safety and consistency.
