Dog Walking Perry

About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 3 keeper puppies of my own. I have a female 5 year old lab, a female 2 year old golden, and a 1 year old male chocolate lab. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.

“Kim was awesome and would definitely book again! I needed someone last minute and she was super flexible, responsive, and sweet with Dixie! Thank you so much Kim!”

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

“Beanie loves Kenzie! She is super reliable and on time even when it’s been days with crappy weather. Plus, she always gets the cutest, derpiest photo of Beanie for the walk card which makes me smile when I see it after their walk!”

About: I don’t just watch pets, I connect with them. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I bring calm, intuitive care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m certified in Cat and Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so your furry family member is in capable hands, whether they’re a playful puppy, a wise senior, or a shy kitty who needs a gentle approach. I’m reliable, flexible, and endlessly patient, with a creative touch that keeps pets engaged and stress-free while you’re away. From energetic walks to quiet cuddle sessions, I tailor care to each pet’s unique personality. Think of me as your pet’s new favorite human. I also have a background in video and photography and I take great pet photos :) As a freelancer with a flexible schedule, I structure my days around important priorities, like your pet’s routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I can easily accommodate feeding times, play sessions, and royal check-ins. During drop-in visits, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’m reliable and on time, and I stick closely to your pet’s established routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, cleaning up, or spending quality time together, I make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for in their own space.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life, including part-time professional grooming and providing loving, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. My experience includes regular care for Zara and Axle (Goldendoodle/Bernedoodle), Ned (Miniature Dachshund), and Bear and Moon (Labrador Retrievers) From energetic playtime and long walks to light grooming, feeding, medication (if needed), and plenty of cuddles, I understand that every dog has unique needs. As a retired teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to routines, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently retired. I’d like to make pet care my daily/weekly routine. Currently, your pet would be my daily or weekly routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Makayla did not hesitate to take care of our snoopy. She did a great job both walking and house sitting. We will never hesitate to book Makayla again.”

About: Ever since I was little I’ve worked with all sorts of animals. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish hamster’s, birds, reptiles, and even lizards! I am studying for phlebotomy so I would love to study along with your pets! My weekends are usually an option! I will make time for your pets. I write down a to-do list of the day, to make sure I do my absolute best to take care of all of your pets

“She has been amazing with Charlie! There was one day Charlie was choking a bit, and she reached out to let me know right away. She shows up every scheduled day on time! I know Charlie loves his walks with her.”

About: Hello! My name is Erin and as a pre-veterinary student, I am currently working as a veterinary assistant at a clinic to further expand my knowledge in veterinary medicine and animal care. I am currently available anytime on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekends. If you are looking for late afternoon or evening visits, I am also available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays after 6 PM. For my clients, I ensure thorough communication about how their fur babies are doing by providing updates throughout the day with cute pictures! I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for both their pets and them by establishing a safe and trustworthy setting.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young girl. I got my first dog at age 5. I watch my neighbors, friends, and families dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I do not work specific days or times, but usually work mornings, getting out around 2/3pm Unfortunately I cannot have animals at my college house per the leasing agreement. However, I will be able to come over and take care of your fur babies in their own environment.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: Hi! My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable while getting the best form of care I can provide. Growing up with animals, especially dogs, has taught how to be a patient and caring person. I’ve built a relationship with my own dog off of trust and want to do the same while caring for your pupper! I’m a focused and detail oriented person and will work to ensure all your specific needs are met. Currently I’m working part time, so I have a flexible and pretty open schedule to take care of your pets. I’m also good with last minute changes and can easily switch around my schedule for what works best for you! I live in a small town with plenty of areas to walk dogs and I also have a fenced in back yard. I have one dog and two cats that do well around other animals, as well as a trustworthy vehicle to take me to your location.

“Sophie was great with my dog Oscar at his meet and greet. She had a positive energy and was thorough in asking questions. I’m looking forward to Sophie caring for my pup!”

About: I’ve almost always had a dog for the past 24 years. Currently have a hobby farm: goats & alpacas. We have a house cat, barn cat, & hairless crazy sphynx cat. We have our Golden doodle and often our grand dog too. The dogs are all very chill. But love to play when out in the yard. I love taking pet photos and I can almost bet while I’m with your pet I will take a few photos as well. I work from home running my own business and therefore I can easily manage my schedule. . Errands can typically be run by another family member if needed. That leaves me open to accommodate most pet needs. When I am watching your pet in your home I will provide some training or work with your training needs. I can provide some stimulating games. I love taking pet photos so I can keep you updated with cute photos! When taking your pet for a walk I will be happy to follow your routine. If snacks are ok for your 4 legged family member then I’ll be happy to spoil them with some.

“Sarah really helped me out by walking my dog while I recovered from surgery. My dog Cady really loved her and Sarah was on time each day and so good with my dog. I’ll be using her service again when needed.”
