Dog Walking Palmer

About: Big or small, I love them all! I have expertise caring for senior, special needs, and high anxiety dogs. Need a pet care professional that focuses on your dogs needs? I'm here for you. Throughout my life, I've always had at least one dog, and I currently share my home with a wonderful pack of seven. Because I know how important a pet’s routine and comfort are, I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention in their own familiar neighborhood. I take pride in delivering the highest level of care and always put a dog's well-being first. My professional background includes working at a dog daycare as a behavioral coordinator, where I specialized in safely handling dogs with challenging or reactive behaviors. I'm also the go-to guy for most of my friends and family when they need a reliable pet sitter. Ensuring proper enrichment and care throughout the day for even the most energetic of dogs is my goal. I also partner with local rescues and sanctuaries to foster dogs, focusing heavily on senior and medically disabled pets. One of my dogs is actually paralyzed and another one was born with only 2 legs and they are some of the most fun dogs I've ever had. My specialized, hands-on skills include: Expressing paralyzed dogs Administering insulin injections Managing difficult, timid, or leash-reactive behaviors Animal CPR and First Aid (Certified since 2019) If your dog has special needs, lets chat! While my main focus is dogs, I also have extensive experience with guinea pigs, rats, mice, and lizards. I also love bugs, so if you have some wild exotics I'm happy to help with them as well! Whether your pet needs a slow and patient approach on their daily walk, specialized medical attention during a midday drop-in, or just a lot of love while you are at work, they are in safe, experienced hands with me. I have a flexible work schedule and can do drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Most evenings I am also available past 4pm until about 10pm. I love playing around with dogs if that's what they need, but I also don't mind just hanging out with a senior dog while they relax and wonder the yard. I try to cater to the specific dog or dogs in my care. I have experience working at a dog daycare and ensuring dogs days safe, fun, and are full of enrichment are my top priorities. I take a caring approach to making sure dogs are comfortable. I do what I can to read behavioral cues and try my best to approach each dog based on their own boundaries. If you're looking for walks, or just a drop in, I'll make sure your dog has the fun they deserve.

About: My dog passed away at age 18 and my family decided that we are not going to get another one. Being able to care for other people's dogs will be a joy. I am not good about updating my calendar. Reach out if you need care for your pet and if I am available, I will be happy to help! I am currently semi-retired and working part-time with a lot of flexibility in days and hours. Dog walking or pop in care will work for me. I won't be able to do any frequent regular visits as my schedule changes weekly. I am used to walking dogs and having dogs that are crate trained. Whatever your routine is, I can help to be consistent in training and care.

About: I graduated in 2018 from Umass Amherst with my Bachelors of science Pre-veterinary medicine. I have worked as a technician as well as a veterinary receptionist in animal hospitals. I am confident handling most animals, livestock, birds, dogs, cats and I have amateur skills with reptiles and horses. I took a small animal CPR course and can administer medications. I have personally owned 3 dogs, a bird, and many fish throughout my life. I am looking for extra work and have a very flexible schedule. I will typically be available most days and weekends, so don't hesitate to ask! I have a pre-veterinary bachelors degree and plenty of experience handling small pets I have a semi fenced large yard in the suburb area. I have two runs set up in the backyard, both allowing plenty of freedom. I have one dog, Digby. He is a mixed King Charles Cavalier spaniel and poodle. Digby is 6 years old and about 30lbs. He is sort of timid around other dogs but once he knows everything is safe, he loves to play! I live with my mother and my father.

“Ashley is amazing with our pups! She’s so flexible and easy to work with and always stays for some extra pets with our older dog!! We’re lucky to have her!”

“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I am used to recognizing and responding to their needs and treating them with the utmost care and affection. I have experience with walking my own dogs, one of which was a large dog and the other is small, so I know what to expect when walking a dog of any size. I also know to be very vigilant while on dog walks and to be cautious of other dogs, when I take my own dogs on walks I avoid any interaction between them and other dogs we may see on our route because you just never know the temperament of another persons dog. I am a college student currently on summer break so my schedule is very open, which means I have ample time to help your pups get their steps in! I am available Monday-Friday from 11am- 3pm to take your furry friends on walks. I will care for your fur baby like my own during our walks. I am extremely attentive and will keep your pup from eating random things on the ground, keep them away from cars and anything else that could pose as danger.

“Thanks for taking such good care of our Cooper!”

About: Although I have less experience in dog care in comparison to taking care of cats, I live an active lifestyle and am fully capable of going on walks with any dog’s typical walk regime. As a student who’s home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule I dedicate to spending time with my or any of my friends’ pets. I care for pets by referring to the owners and following any procedures based on the pet’s needs. I’m capable of basic maintenance and problem solving.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I helped take care of my first dog when he was a senior, and I’ve been taking care of the dog I have now since he was a puppy he’s now 10. I also have 3 years of experience taking care of cats, I have one of my own and I help take care of my sisters. People who know me describe me as responsible and I’m signing up for this app because I love animals and I am trying to make a little extra money before I go to college in the fall. I am available monday - sunday at all hours of the day for whatever your pet needs. This is currently my only job and it has my full attention. I will not be able to provide boarding in my home because my dog does not get along well with other dogs, but I am available to stop in and see your pets whenever needed to feed them, take them outside, walk them, and just to play with them. I can also do overnight stays if that is what your pet requires.

About: Ive bred and took care of newborn puppies. And the long term care the mother needed after birth. Helped keep her happy for the remainder of her life. Bathed and groomed more times than i can remember. Trained for practicality and for tricks! I volunteer in my town a lot. I am an assistant coach and i am about to be voted onto a town committee for the rail trail in our town. Also a full time care giver for my mother but i could have help with that if needed. A nice big open area to walk around in leashed.. and a big ole park (grenville park) just minutes away walking distance. Big apartment complex

About: Hey there! I’m Melissa — professional treat-giver, squeaky-toy champion, and expert belly-rubber. I make sure your dog is living their best life while you’re out living yours! We have a 4.5 yo mini bernedoodle who loves having friends over! I work from home 2 days per week. My schedule is flexible to provide care in our home during those days, walks at your house or activities with our dog. My usual days home are Monday and Friday. I am also available during holidays, or on Saturday and Sunday. In my home, pets enjoy a calm and supervised environment with lots of love, playtime, and enrichment. While we do not have a fenced-in yard, I’m extremely careful — outdoor time is always controlled with secure leashes and full supervision for safety. Your peace of mind means everything to me, and I’ll always treat your pet like family.

“Milo had such a great experience today! 😊 Paisley was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cared about him. She made sure he got everything he needed, followed all of my instructions, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoy working with dogs, and Milo came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and will be continuously using her walking services. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!”

Rachel H.

“Katie was amazing with my pug Lucy! She’s very old and I worry about her walking outside in the summer time and overheating. However, I never had to worry. Katie was very consistent and always sent pictures after her walks. I will definitely be booking again!”

Olivia G.

“Kylie went above and beyond for our dogs and even a neighbors dog that had gotten loose. She gave them wonderful attention, took them on a nice long walk, took pictures, and had great things to say. Kylie is knowledgeable and great with dogs. I will definitely reach out to her for help in the future.”

As a BCBA working in the school system, I am currently off for the summer, so my availability is wide open. In the fall I will work regular school hours 7:30-2:30pm 4 days/ week. During the week I am available for afternoon and early evening visits. On the weekends my availability is open! I build in dedicated time for each visit to ensure I’m never rushed, and every pet gets my full attention. I care for pets in their own home with the same respect and attentiveness I would offer in my own. I follow all provided instructions closely—whether that includes feeding schedules, medication, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys—and I always take time to observe how each pet is feeling that day and send updates and pictures. During drop-in visits, I offer gentle, calm energy and prioritize connection so your pet feels safe and seen. I’ll make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and get affection or playtime based on their needs and personality. On walks, I stay alert and keep pets secure while still giving them time to sniff, explore, and enjoy the moment. I will always leave your home just as I found it—or even a little better. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease while we’re on our routine together

About: Patience. I understand every fur baby has a personality. I will take the time to get to know them. I will communicate with fur parents to understand their care needs. I can be very flexible. We can work together to meet the needs of the parents and fur babies. Multiple visits in a day are available. Walks, feeding and limited grooming available. I am a fur parent of 4 grown dogs, spanning 3 generations. Every fur baby has a personality. Mine like to cuddle and watch movies and I can’t wait to learn about your babies personalities!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

“She was amazing with our new dog that is adapting to our new encironment”
