Dog Walking Otis

About: I have been in the veterinary industry for over 20 years and am currently a Manager at a local animal ER. I've been in emergency vet med for almost seven years. Prior to that, I worked in general practice and was also a full-time, professional pet sitter for three years. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs, especially large breeds. I'm also able to administer medications including insulin. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family. I love taking my German Shepherds, Salem and Delgado on long walks. I am currently working towards my BS Degree in Business Administration and Human Resources. I have five daughters (26, 22, 16, 11, 11) with three of them still living at home. I have two dogs (Salem and Delgado), two cats (Lucifer and Mercury) and a Holland Lop bunny (Venus). I work days at the ER, usually 7a-4p, so morning visits are usually anywhere from 5:00-6:30a. I will then typically stop by after work or before bedtime (sometimes both!) depending on your pets needs. Weekends are typically open availability. I am highly experienced, extremely reliable and trustworthy. Your pet and your property are my top priority and will be treated with the utmost respect.

About: I’m Natalie. My husband & I live on 1 acre that is fenced in. We have chickens, and a friendly great pyreneese. We are active & enjoy the outdoors. We love to be home doing projects and enjoying our garden. You can feel safe leaving your pet with us. We love animals and will do whatever it takes to care for your pet. We are so excited to be able to serve you and do whatever you need to take care of your pet while you are gone. Thank you for considering us to take care of your precious family member. I am a SAHM with several pets so it is already a part of my day to be caring for my pets. I would love to add your pet in. I love to care for my pets. They are a part of my everyday life. I am so happy to care for your pet as closely to the way you do.

About: With over 12 years of petcare experience and multiple indoor pets myself, I think it's safe to say that I love animals! Situated on a 1 acre property, with a fenced front yard, this could be your pets getaway while you get away! Because I have grooming and training experience, I could be your one stop drop! I am a freelance pet artist, therefore I have plenty of time to have fun and interact with my animals! We enjoy walking in the lovely Baldwin bike trial and playing in the yard! I'm practically available all day any day! I have a fenced front yard and 4 lovely rough coated collies! My dogs are very social and love to play! Fun in the sun during the day and crated at night! For pick ups I currently have a Ruffland intermediate kennel for car rides to keep your dog as safe as possible!

About: I’ve been a lover of dogs & cats since I was a kid. Animals always gravitate towards me. I’ve had pets since I was about 15 years old. I have nothing but time to give to all pets. Your baby will get all the cuddles & butt scratches they can handle! I’m not working at the moment so I have all the time in the world to give to your furry babies! I’m able to do drop in visits/walks at your home. I can also do boarding at my home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your baby to run around & play. The house is big enough to keep all the babies separate just in case there are any temperament issues.

About: I am an active duty service member of the U.S. Navy and have been in for 6 years. I had two dogs of my own for 9 years before I enlisted, who were house trained and learned to respond to two languages, English and Spanish. They were taught tricks and were well behaved. I was responsible for the grooming and potty training. Every time I was able to come home, I would jump right back in the routine of caring for my babies. I enjoyed every minute of the caretaking process and the bond that I grew with my dogs. The one thing I miss is coming home and having them greet me at my door. Their is nothing like that love. My major pet care experience is knowing and feeling how special a pet’s love is unless you had one yourself. Some people treat pets as animals, I treat them like family.

About: I greatly enjoy meeting and caring for everyone and anyone’s pets! Learning how they each communicate as well as helping them live peaceful, more fun, and enriched lives. I also work a part time job so besides my shifts there I’m happy to be available for walks and check ins! I’m almost always available in the afternoons and evenings but mornings may vary. When visiting a home to care for a pet I’m sure to give them time to greet me however they feel comfortable and talk to them as much as they need while preparing them for a walk &/or cleaning their space.

About: I have 7 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 guineas pigs here at home, so I have a lot of experience with many kinds of animals, all shapes and sizes. I can deal with any type of breed, and any type of pet (snakes, bearded dragons, etc.). I can walk, feed, and spend lots of time with the animals if needed. I prefer watching the animals at the client's home, since I have so many animals already. This job sounds perfect for me because I love animals so much, and it has a flexible schedule. Since I do have many animals at home, I am not able to stay over night at houses. However, I am able to stay late (11pm) and arrive early (7am) if needed. In my own home, we rotate the dogs outside every 45 minutes. We feed our animals at 7 am and 12 pm. I can adjust to any schedule recommended by the client. We work our dogs a bit different since there are so many.

About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!

“We appreciate how flexible Rileigh is with last minute pup or time changes. And not to mention the help in providing extra enrichment and training opportunities.”

About: I have experience running an animal rescue. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and many different breeds as well as other animals, ie chickens, cats, horses, goats. Let me help you! I am very flexible and will work with the schedule you need for your fur babies to ensure the best possible care. I have dogs myself. I know everyone has their own way of doing things. I will work with you to provide the best care possible on your terms.

About: I have never known a world without dogs, and my family has owned at least 2 since the day I was born. I believe it is so important for your dog to get the play time and walks they need for the day! I’m a college student home for the summer and would love to check in on your dog! My availability calendar is up to date! I have two dogs that I adore and walk every day. They don’t play as much in their older age, but love to be loved on.

About: I have tons of experience with animals, some of which have been my own. I currently own a black lab and German shepherd and have owned a Pekinese and tabby cat in the past, meaning I’m comfortable with all sizes of pets! I have pet sat for both family and friends, with no problems each time. I have worked with dog trainers at my previous job as a pet store manager and am aware of dogs’ body language and how to properly interact with them. I am in a very unique position where I work a remote, work-from-home job. This makes me available all days except Wednesdays. This allows me to be able to work around pet parent schedules and stay longer with animals! As already mentioned, I have some dog training knowledge. I have trained both of my dogs and even my horse. I’m comfortable around any size dog and would treat each one as my own. I am well versed in handling multiple situations. I follow directions very well and will do as pet parents wish.

About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large dogs and cats, which helped me become comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I am a responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. My experience growing up with big dogs taught me how to confidently handle larger breeds, while living with and caring for cats has helped me understand the importance of patience and respecting each pet’s unique personality. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 As I work toward my goal of becoming a nail technician, I have the flexibility to provide attentive and dependable pet care. I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is a rewarding way for me to spend my time while building my career. I make it a priority to keep pets on their regular routines and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, hosting them overnight in my home, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking them on walks, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. For boarding and overnight stays in my home, pets will have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. My apartment community includes a dog park and a dog washing station, which are great amenities for active dogs. I also have two cats, so any pets staying with me should be comfortable around cats. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the care they deserve. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their time with me a positive experience.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind for the last 12 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and stayed at their home to watch their pets. I have pets of my own so I can understand the feeling to rely on someone to watch your pet, specially coming into your place. That's why I have always recommend a meeting in person before, with the pet so we can all get to know each other. I respect the space of each pet, because they're all different, for the same reason I treat them with care and patience. I am a musician, my schedule it's very flexible. On a daily basis I'll be available to provide 4hr- 6hrs visit; either drop-in, walks or overnight stays. I will respect my client's home, their schedule and accommodations. I've had past clients with cameras in and outside their place and I respect and understand they're safety and responsibility for their homes and loved ones. I care specially in keeping company, even after the walk, food or whatever your pet might need, I'll always spend some time with them since I enjoy it and and I know they will too.

About: My name is Shana. I have a very strong love for animals and I enjoy taking care of them. I have worked with many different kinds of animals for about 9 years. I currently work at a local animal hospital as a Vet technician and kennel manager. My duties there are caring for the health and the livelihood of both cats and dogs. Working in this field everyday I have learned emergency procedures and including CPR. Not only do I work with Animals I also own and have owned many as well. Anything from large breed dogs to reptiles and fish. Therefore, I am capable of sitting for more than just our canine and feline friends. I look forward to meeting new people and their pets.

About: I have had experience working at a boarding facility working with dogs and understand the "dog pack" mentality. I am patient and know it takes work to train our pets. I love all animals and can assure yours will be well taken care of while your away. I am very trustworthy and reliable. I have reliable transportation and am currently a stay at home mom, so I am not held back from fulfilling a need be it in my home or yours. I make adjustments to the total price of a booking depending on the overall request and what is needed not simply by the price that's listed.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, fish, chickens, goats, and horses. My family has always had dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Before focusing on college softball, I trained and showed dogs as well as competing in Western Pleasure and barrel racing with horses. These experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to confidently care for animals. I will treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits very easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently home for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I’m taking online summer classes, but I’m able to adjust my study times and work around pet care needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Almost any time of day works for me, and I’m very open to compromising and coordinating with clients to fit their schedule. I’m used to managing busy routines, so I stay organized, communicate clearly, and am reliable with consistent pet care times. I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for every pet’s environment. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, horses, and more, and I’ve also helped train and handle dogs in different settings. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, use secure leash handling, and follow any owner instructions carefully.

“Hazel is amazing with pets! She’s so gentle and patient. Took my dogs on two walks a day and kept me updated the entire time! I would highly recommend using her and we definitely use her again! Thank you so much Hazel”
