Dog Walking Northwood

“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

About: I've had my own pets since I was born and became the primary caregiver when I was 11. I've also been relied on to care for family members pets consistently over the last 4 years. I have a super flexible schedule as I work as a novelist and can work from anywhere. Whatever your needs I can probably work with. While in your home I will give your pets the care and love they deserve and strive to leave the home as I found it. I can't wait to make a new friend!

“Good experience, and friendly communication”

About: I have dog sat multiple times for family friends, usually 3 dogs at a time, no problem. The owners always return to their dogs being happy and healthy. I am self employed now so I am very flexible and will be available pretty much all day to take care of your fur babies. I am very flexible caring for your animals in whatever way you’re most comfortable with and whatever ways work well for your fur baby.

“Great dog walker and even better person. She made sure our pup got all the walking she needed and was able to schedule on short notice. Definitely a life saver in a pinch!”

About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.

About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have basic knowledge of training dogs from puppies to seniors. I understand how important it is for dogs to have mental stimulation and no dog is too big or small. I work full time, but have lots of weekend availability that I'd love to spend with your pet! I do volunteering on the weekend, but can definitely do work arounds to make sure your loved one is cared for. I understand how sacred fur babies are to us and putting trust in a stranger can be scary. Its very important to me for dogs wear collars when going outside, even if just the back yard. I love routines will follow your pets normal routine in their environment. I will respect your home and property, strictly following any instructions provided.

“My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.”

“YAY! So grateful I found Elaine. I twisted my ankle and she was there helping me every day for 7 days so that I could rest. Her energy, kindness, flexibility, communication, and love of animals is so evident. I would let Elaine take care of all of my animals at any moment. I will absolutely have her walk Ginger again. And also boarding!”

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and horses, so from a young age, I was taught the importance of giving animals the specific care they need to thrive. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager and never pass up the opportunity to make a new furry friend. I’m a work-from-home educator and cat parent just trying to make some extra income, so I will have plenty of free time for snuggles, treats, and chin scratches! I’m also a runner who would love to give your energetic pup the exercise they crave. Please reach out if I sound like a good fit, and I’d love to meet your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m a teacher with a pretty flexible schedule during the summer, so I will be free every day with the exception of a few weekend trips. I am also a high school distance running coach, so I will occasionally have summer runs with the kids to work around. I live in a small ADU with two cats of my own, so I can only offer pet care in your home. I also find this is the best way to limit stress for your pet and offer you the additional peace of mind of a house sitter if desired. I’m available for drop-in’s for pets who need their space or for overnight visits for those who need more company.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid and I have a dog and cat of my own that I care deeply for. I have looked after pets that range from puppies to seniors. I am attentive to the needs of pets and I look forward to providing care for your fuzzy friends! I am a college student with a light schedule so I have lots of availability to spend taking care of your animals! Mornings and afternoons are generally pretty free. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect your space and follow your instructions exactly. I maintain their regular routine for feeding, walking, and any medications, and I send regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. I aim to keep your pet relaxed and stress free while you're away!

“Deanna is an incredible dog whisperer:) Lola absolutely loves spending time with her! I highly recommend 🙂 I’ve always appreciated Deanna’s sharp communication and photo updates. Book her today! :)”

About: I've always loved animals and knew I wanted to work with them in some capacity. Since I was a kid I've been pet sitting for neighbors, or friends/family and then I started walking dogs in college to make extra money. Now, I have 4 years expirence working with dogs and cats and the occasional ferret and sugar glider as a Veterinary Technician. Your fur baby(babies) will be in safe hands with me and I will love and care for them as my own. My availability is very open right now to walk, play with or stay with your pets, feel free to message me to set something up <3 I make sure everyone gets fed, has fresh clean water, I can medicate if needed, I love engaging in interactive play and taking doggos for walks! I have experience reading animal body language too so I know when to take it slower or let them come to me if they seem anxious.

About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I previously cared for my own two senior diabetic dogs, one of whom also had a heart condition and Cushing’s disease, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, trust, and careful attention to detail. I am comfortable with senior dogs, special diets, oral medications, injections, and dogs who need a little extra care. Our home is currently pet-free, which allows me to give visiting dogs my full attention and can be a good fit for dogs who do better without other resident pets. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for family dogs and love giving dogs walks, attention, playtime, and affection based on their individual needs. Safety is always my priority, and I follow owner instructions closely so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work from home full time so I have a fairly flexible schedule which comes in handy for dogs needing a little extra care. I understand the importance of keeping them on a schedule whether it be for walks or medication. My primary goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s routine, temperament, energy level, and specific needs. I do my best to keep feeding times, walks, medications, exercise, and daily routines as consistent as possible. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including oral medications, injections, and special diets. Our home is currently pet-free, which allows me to give visiting dogs my full attention. This can be especially helpful for dogs who prefer a calmer space or do better without other resident pets. I also have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and notes so you know how your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and answer any questions before or during your dog’s stay.

“Mika has walked my dogs twice now and it has gone very smoothly and well both times. She's a good communicator, did great with the instructions I left, and is very friendly. I highly recommend Mika and will continue to use her to care for my dogs.”

About: I've had a lot of experiences taking care of dogs and cats the maximum number I've taken care of is 3 dogs and 2 cats at one time! I enjoy going for walks and hikes and sometimes runs. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. Im used to walking my chocolate lab and German Shepard, pitbull mix together. My German Shepard mix has a lot of anxiety and we have been working with a dog trainer and a behavioralist to work with his reactivity as well as his anxiety. I’m very comfortable with dogs with reactivity and anxiety as well as dogs that are big jumpers. I’ve dog sat for dogs such as chihuahuas, labs, border collies, beagles, pugs, springer spaniels, German Shepard’s and mutts. I have a lot of patience for dogs that are shy and take some time to warm up. I have experience using prong collars, gentle leads, and harnesses. I also have worked with many puppies in training and would be happy to implement any training methods you are using. I also love cats and have a lot of experience with shy and timid cats as well. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I’m currently working from home with a very flexible schedule and have plenty of times available for walks and drop in visits. I have 3 pets of my own though and can’t stay overnight or do boarding at my house. If your dog enjoys playing with other dogs I’m happy to bring my lab over she is great with other dogs. I am happy to accommodate any routine your pet may have to make them more comfortable on walks and drop in visits. I’m very used to shy dogs and cats that may need a little more space as well as super energetic ones.
