Dog Walking Northwood Hills

About: Hello, consider me your pets new best friend! Growing up, since day 1, I have had 3 dogs and a slew of kittens. I have experience with many many animals and have given medicinal needs to dogs and cats both! I have been tending to animals since before I can remember and I know I can be a reliable resource for your beloved pet(s). 💗 I have 2 cats currently of my own named Charlie and Sammy, they're twins! I've also grown up with dogs, never lived without them til my 20's. So needless to say, I am an animal lover and advocate and will treat them with the best care they deserve! My own cats: I play with them all the time and make sure they're fed well with lots of water! They also get cuddles on the daily! My clients pets (dogs and/or cats!): I make sure all their animals have food and water! I love to run outside with the dogs and get all their energies out, and play with the cats to get them through the zoomies!

About: Hi there, My name is Melissa and I work from home which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. l am a very active person who absolutely loves all sorts of fur babies, especially dogs and cats. I enjoy having the ability to interact with them on a daily basis. I currently have one fur baby of my own, Roxy (13 yo Jack Russell), but I have been around all types of animals since I was little, and I can't imagine my life without them. I would love to include more animals in my life by helping you take care of yours from drop-in visits, dog walking and more! I believe in positive reinforcement training versus negative reinforcement, which supports an animal’s overall well being. My goal is to make sure that your dog is fully sated from our walk so that when you get home you have a relaxed doggie! Having had more than one dog of my own in the past I am experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time, so if you have 2 or more dogs that need daily walks I am up for it! Also, if your pet just needs a cuddle and some caring for during the day I am happy to drop in visit on them and spend some time with them! I hope you’ll consider me for your pet care needs. I promise to treat your fur baby as if it were my own! Looking forward to working with you and your fur babies. I am have a very flexible schedule for dog walking and pet drop-in visits. Morning, afternoon or night time, I would be happy to take care of your pets! I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own pet with respect and gentle care. I also will respect your household and leave it in the condition it was in when I arrived.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats as family pets for many years and am comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets and meeting their daily needs. I am very flexible in my schedule and able to make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and other pet care needs as required for your furry friend :) I best care for pets by following the owner’s instructions, making sure they have food and water, giving them attention and playtime, and keeping them safe and comfortable.

About: Since age 8, I’ve helped with my grandmother’s pet sitting business, caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals. I have hands-on experience training my own dogs using positive reinforcement techniques and have spent years working with and caring for horses, both personally and through volunteering at a local horse barn. I also have experience caring for small animals and rodents, giving me confidence working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, as animals have always been a huge part of it. Outside of pet sitting, I currently only work at my part-time job from 3 PM to 1 AM on Thursdays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week. This schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and do my best to keep them on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training routines, or household rules. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and caring environment so both pets and owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“Hannah was awesome! She took Marley on walks for two days while I was traveling for work. She sent pics and gave lots of info while with Marley. Will definitely use Hannah again!”

About: Hi! I am a 21 year old college student, who would love to be considered for taking care of your furry friend! I grew up around a lot of different animals, but abundantly dogs , which allowed me to gain a lot of experience with them. Since I was a young teenager I walked and did check-ins for families with one to multiple dogs, and eventually did one or two over-night doggy-sitting! I have experience in taking care of puppies and elderly dogs as I grew up in a home where we regularly fostered dogs of those ages. I give the dogs I take care of the love, attention and respect I would give to my own. I will be back in the Cross Junction area for most of Winter break! To make sure I give your dog the attention and care needed, I would love to schedule an appropriate amount of time ahead. Generally speaking though, I would plan around your pet and can take last minute booking! I follow the rules and expectations set by you! I do ask everyone who’s dogs I take care of to give me a list of do’s and don’ts because not every dog is the same. I also make sure to ask for typical behavior and moods for the dogs, so that if something is potentially wrong, I am able to identify it!

About: I have a Mini Aussie and I absolutely love teaching him new things. I can do just about anything with your dog with assurance that they are in good hands. I’d love to help members of my community out as needed! I currently work from home 3 out of the 5 days of the work week and am mostly home on the weekends as needed. My dog and I are constantly walking, playing, and training at any time possible. I am extremely flexible. Shadow is extremely friendly with other dogs. He is neutered so I am able to have unfixed females in my house. I do not have a fenced in backyard, but I love going on walks at anytime throughout the day. My dog currently sleeps in a crate, but your dog can do what’s the most comfortable for them.

“Tori was great! On time, helpful, very kind, and very good with my girls Hazel and Kiwi! Seems very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior as well.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I would help family and neighbors and then grew to not just a job it has came to something I love and thrive to do. I am now 33 years old and I strive to help others with their fur babies so they are never alone and taken care of. I own my own farm so my pet care starts at 6am to when I go to bed. I have some much time through the day I I want to help others with their pets/animals. I do not watch others animals in my home only due to our farm animals. But I am happy to go to my clients home to feed, water, give basic care and play with clients pets.

“Georgia is the best! So sweet and thoughtful with my animal. She is top tier and I will be using her any chance I get. I am a crazy dog mom and she calmed my nerves with all the pictures and in-depth summary of her visit! Cannot rave enough about her :)”

About: Everyone calls me when they need a reliable and dedicated pair of hands to watch over their children. Yes, I treat every dog like a furry child. I've helped raise dogs from 6 weeks to 16 years old. The young and the old need a little more attention and I'm happy to help. Those terrible 2's just need extra attention, and I'm happy to provide that too! I love all animals and will probably treat the kids like royalty. I prefer the company of dogs than my friends, they could vouch for that! I'm both loving and also stern because I've raised both labs and pitties. They require different types of parenting techniques, and I am equipped to handle anything. I work full time, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. I'm happy to use my work breaks to check on animals for those who need the extra attention. My availability will be based around my work and my 2 kiddos at home. I can adjust weekly routines to incorporate pickup/drop offs, stop in visits, after work walks, or overnight stays. I treat dogs like they are our kids. I talk to them, I cuddle with them, and I use positive reinforcement to train good habits. I've helped raise a dozen dogs and each dog likes to show you how they like to be treated. I learned this lesson the hard way when I was raising dogs and had to learn different techniques to train each of them individually. Labs learn and function much different than bulldogs and pitbulls. I treat each dog the same regardless of size or attitude. Though I may give them some attitude when mouth off, like I do with my pitty at home (lol). I'm a safety first kind of person when it comes to our kids. So I tend to lean on the side of caution and extra equipment when interacting with most dogs. I always keep extra dogs supplies in my truck at all times as I have been known to that guy who stops traffic to try to rescue a dog. I've done this probably 6 or 7 times.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and got into dog training 2 years ago. I assisted a dog training company with the dogs they would board and care for, and assisted with multiple training outings. I also raised and trained my own service animal. I’m currently working part time, and will focus solely on providing care for your pet and home. They are my number one priority and love to do things with them. I will take them on long walks and do training with them to get their brain going. I’ll make sure their meals are extra tasty and made with love.

“We are so lucky to have Hailey as a sitter. She is very dedicated and responsible!”

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

Kelly F.

“She was fantastic. Both my boys like her I would recommend her to anyone with any size dog.”

About: I've always loved animals, they have been my weak spot for as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals in house. I have also taken care of friends and family's animals including cats, dogs, fish, goats, chickens, and ducks. I currently have 3 dogs ranging from 35lbs-80lbs, a horse, and chickens! I love coming home to my animals being excited to see me, in my opinion it is one of the best feelings! I do work a full time job Monday - Friday but I am able to do drop in visits after work on the way home which is typically around 4:30pm. I am also available for drop in visits, walks, or over night stays on the weekends. I will always follow your instructions on how to handle your animals. You tell me something is not okay and I won't do it, you tell me to make sure I do something and I'll do it. I also don't mind cleaning up any accidents if any occur ☺️

About: I have been an animal lover & owner my entire life. I've always had a dog along with the occasional hamster, cat, guinea pig, lizard, hermit crab, rabbit, bird & fish. I love animals especially dogs. I am very comfortable with large breed dogs as well as smaller dogs too. I like to think the bigger the dog the more loves & cuddles you get.🥰 I've volunteered for rescues over the past 10 years & have fostered both dogs & cats. I'm very excited to meet new animals and their owners. I currently have 1 dog & 3 cats. I try to stick to your animal's schedule so they continue with their normal routines. I make sure your animal is given lots of attention & play time. I will show your animal affection & lots of play time & snuggling if they enjoy that. I've never met a dog that hasn't liked me....big or small.
