Dog Walking Parkville

“Stephanie has been an exceptional dog walker for our golden retriever, Willie, consistently showing up on time three days a week without fail. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about the pets she looks after. Willie always gets long, engaging walks, and it’s obvious he enjoys his time with her. Stephanie does a fantastic job keeping us informed with detailed updates, including bathroom breaks and how he’s doing at home. We feel completely confident and grateful to have her taking care of Willie.”

About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!

“I recently moved here from PA with my dog (Atlas). New state, new job and I really needed a pet sitter while I was at work. I won't lie - I was scared to trust someone with my fur baby. After the first week of walks I could tell Atlas really enjoyed being around Crissy and that genuinely made me at ease. Crissy is very reliable, communicates well, and most importantly is attentive when caring for my Atlas. She goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my fur baby. One instance was when I misplaced his raincoat and Crissy came to the rescue- she let him borrow a raincoat and made sure he didn't get soaked. No words can describe my gratitude. I genuinely believe Crissy is top-tier and deserves all the praise!!! Atlas and I highly recommend :)”

About: I have had cats and dogs in my house since before I could walk and have been actively caring for them for nearly as long. I have two cats of my own now, 5 and 4, (my dog, almost 20, recently passed) that are my pride and joy. Caring for animals has been a staple of my life; I can’t wait to meet your babies and give them the best care too! I have a bit of a variable schedule between part time work as a barista, but for sitting stays I would never be away for more than 8 hours in any given day. I take college classes online but that can be done anywhere that I can access the internet, meaning I can be with your fur baby for more quality time! I have two cats of my own that I feed a mixed diet of wet and dry food twice a day, so I know attention to detail is a priority when caring for your fur baby! With that said, I can have my roommate feed my boys while I’m on overnight jobs, meaning I have more time to provide top quality care for your fur baby.

“In the short time that Elise helped me with my dog she was very responsible and truly helpful. She was always very communicative and very positive. I will definitely look for her again. Very reliable!”

About: For over 10 years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away. From dog sitting and daily walks to feeding, playtime, and keeping up with their usual routines, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I am a stay at home mom with two kids and my husband has a flexible work schedule, so we will have plenty of time to care for your dog! We are available for last minute boarding or extended stays 😊 We have a 6 ft fence with a yard, a very walkable neighborhood, and two kids who love animals, so your dog will always feel loved and protected with us!

About: I’ve always have pets in my life since I was young. I’ve cared for cats, dogs of all sizes, fish, birds, mice, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and small snakes. This includes cats and dogs with special medical needs. My family, friends and coworkers often turn to me to care for their animals when they leave town, I’m always delighted to help. I promise to love your pets as much as you do! I work a PT with a rotating schedule alternating AM and PM availability. I’m more than happy to accommodate to meet any specific time constraints! I have a small fenced in yard and access to large grassy areas for exercise if boarding at home. I’m very respectful of personal property and will follow any specific directions left to care for you home as well as your pets.

“Heather was amazing. Even though my pup was a little hesitant to warm up to her she never gave up and eventually they became cuddle buddies! Heather went above and beyond what was asked of her - I am so happy to have found her and am grateful that in the future I have someone I can count on to take care of Piper :)”

About: Hey! My name is Kyla, I have about 9 years of animal experience. I just graduated with a degree in Animal Behavior & currently work at a veterinary clinic! I have knowledge on medications, and experience with many different medical conditions. P.S. Your pets will receive photoshoots during their time with me!😊🐾 I just graduated college and I am working at a vet office part time, so i definitely need more animal time fit into my schedule!🫶🏽 I make sure to be very generous of the animals space as a lot of animals are protective and make sure they are as comfortable as possible!

About: I have experience with large and small dogs, and several other animals, like pigs and hedgehogs! Raised with large dogs and love taking pups on long walks. I work part time and help my wife with their business, mainly working from home. I have plenty of time to take out your animals and provide them with any care they need. Crating, simple training, or just giving your elder dog company, I have patience and time for any pup. I can also send picture and video updates so you’ll never have to worry about your animals while you’re away!

“Lady remains the constant star! She provided awesome updates while taking care of my puppy son! Will continue to use her services for as long as she’ll let me. 😂”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine love behind it. I grew up helping my mom care for our cats and cats in need and got my first dog in second grade, which taught me responsibility early on. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I treat every animal with the same care and compassion I grew up with. As of right now I’m taking a gap year and working part-time in order to figure out what I want to do. Which means I have plenty of time during the day to play with and keep your pet happy! I’ll care for your pets in your home by following the routine given, keeping yours and their space clean, giving them plenty of walks, love, playtime, and attention, and sending regular updates so you always know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I have had the joy of being around and taking care of dogs throughout my life. I currently have two dogs of my own, an Australian Cattle Dog-Pitbull Mix who is nine years old and a Miniature Schnauzer who just turned one! Growing up I spent a ton of time around family and friends dogs, often helping out when family/friends left for trips and vacations. Having two dogs of my own I not only love but value spending time, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel loved and safe! I am currently back home from college with plenty of time to help out with you and your pets needs! I am usually open on the weekdays and weekends and I am happy to work with your schedule the best I can! When caring for a dog in a client's home I always aim to respect and follow their rules and routines as closely as possibly, ensuring to keep their pets comfortable. I will make sure they have food and water, plenty of potty breaks, and some good fun, love, and attention! I will also make sure the space is left clean, respecting the home as if it were my own.

About: I specialize with big dogs and elderly dogs. I'm a taller guy with a longer walking stride so larger dogs can get more for workout. My schedule is daily throughout the whole day. I normally like to plan 24 hours in advance but if my schedule is open I don't mind same day or last minute. Tuesday -Thursday from 11am-3pm I am not available I currently have no pets right now at my home I do have a rather large backyard. At the parents home, I do make sure that the pets are well fed and hydrated before leaving unless otherwise told. Disclaimer: If there issues at the home during my time at your residence and not disclosed before booking such as but not limited to: proper running water, working AC/HEAT, controlled pest infestation, power outage, violent pet(s), unsanitary conditions, health concerns without proper insurance you will liable for the vet bill and transportation cost or all day 24 hour care with a pet(s) that can not be alone for 3-4 hours than will incur with an extra inconvenience charge of $100 or more and/or cancellation with the help of Rovers support team.

“This was our first time using Rover and Molly was very patient with my questions. We’re still working on training with our dog and she gave great feedback on how the walks went. We appreciated her being flexible with some schedule adjustment and will definitely use her again.”

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs of all ages for the majority of my life, from young animals to seniors. I base my care on each animal's specific needs by listening to what you tell me at the meet and greet and, later, my own experience. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I foster and work in the cat room and the nursery with puppies and kittens. Through the shelter, I have taken several trainings to increase my skills in body language, enrichment, first interactions and more! I hope to continue to build my skills at the shelter. Through the shelter, my own pets and the pets I sit for, I have experience with giving medication--both pills and needles. While I try to keep a pet's routine, I even have a few tricks I've learned through the years to make medicating less stressful! My schedule is fairly flexible, but I do occasionally need to leave the pets/home for 6-8 hours. I'm always willing to work with my petsitting families to ensure each pup or cat is well taken care of! I follow your routine in your home to ensure the pup or cat feels as safe as possible. Animals miss their families when you're gone, and I try to make that time as easy as possible by keeping them on their schedule!

“Jordan has been great. We've used her several times now. She always shows up on time and with a smile on her face. She's a very quick and responsive communicator. And, she loves our dog. We'll keep using her.”

“Nasa has been so helpful with my new puppy, she has definitely become my go to. She is very knowledgeable and gives great advice. She keeps me well informed about what my puppy is experiencing and learning, and she leaves my house looking better than she found it. I feel so lucky to have found Nasa and will continue to utilize her for the foreseeable future. THANK YOU NASA!!”
