Dog Walking in Pleasure Ridge Park

“Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!”

About: I have always loved animals and been around them most of my life. I have taken a basic training course for dogs and previously owned them and currently own cats. I am well versed in giving oral medication to both dogs and cats. I love talking puppies of any age for a walk, long or short and know how to work on leash training. I've worked with senior dogs and know how to give meds. I would love to look after your sweet pet(s) when you are unable to. I work from home so I am able to work around your schedule to take care of your loved ones. I can do short distance travel as needed. I will follow all the clients directions on how they would like their pet cared for in their home. I am available for check-ins for any sort of animal you may have and dog walks. I love to spend time cuddling or giving scratches, playing fetch or chase, or just spending time so your fur baby isn't lonely.

About: I grew up with my family owning pets and have had dogs myself for 27 years. I've recently retired and have no pets at this time. I would love to help you take care of your pets. I have experience giving meds and shots, senior care, special needs, and puppies. I can take care of pets in your home, in my home, take them for walks, feed them, and let them out for potty breaks I am not currently working so I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of love, attention, and play time while you're away. I have a fenced in yard so your pups can get outdoor time to play if that's what they like. I also have gates in the house if that's what they need to be safe. I have plenty of beds and toys for them to play with. If you prefer to keep your pups in a familiar environment I'd be happy to watch them in your home where they're most comfortable. I don't mind traveling for an extended stay in your home.

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from small breed seniors to high-energy breeds. Jinger (My own pup) is a 6-year-old Female Malinois-Lab mix, so I’m especially familiar with energetic dogs who need structure, attention, and enrichment to thrive.  Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with unique needs—including leash reactivity, anxiety, and medical routines. The wonderful folks at Southside pet shop had taught me Animal Husbandry by the book (literally). During my time there I had taken care of a wide variety of pets in a professional setting. I comfortable caring cats, and exotic pets too- I am more than at home in a multi-pet household.  I ALWAYS approach every pet with patience and empathy. I understand that every animal is different, so I change my care-style (never quality!) to match their needs—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or medical needs.  If you need drop-in visits, house sitting, or just someone to give your dog an afternoon potty break, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved. You can expect daily updates and plenty of photos, Rest assured! Pet sitting is my full-time profession and passion, alongside my work as a freelance artist. I have professional experience in animal husbandry; I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy doing both traditional and digital art; my favorite are pet portraits! If there is downtime while I am petsitting, I’m usually doing art! In both my own home and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owners instructions, because I understand this routine is in place to keep them comfortable, and healthy. This includes using toys, treats and games to make their day rewarding and fun. Maintaining a clean environment is a top priority; food and water bowls are washed regularly and I always make sure each pet is fed according to their specified guidelines.

“Omg Mackenzie is a beautiful person. She loved on my baby Xylo like she was her own!! She is now family and I absolutely recommend her!”

About: I have been a general sitter since I was a teenager. I love learning about a pet’s routine, their personalities, and what keeps them happy! I’m currently pursuing pet sitting and house sitting full time, so I can watch your pets at any time! This includes weekends and curtain holidays. Regular check ins as I’ll make sure your pets are consistently and have learned to know when a pet is sick or in distress. I’ll also keep you updated!

About: I’ve been pet setting for as long as I can remember. Growing up, all my best friends’ families had pets, and once I was old enough, I’d get to house sit whenever they’d go out of town for vacation. I’ve gotten to hang out with and care for small pups, big dogs, and oh so many cats. I work from home full time and am super flexible with what hours I work, so I can completely tailor my schedule to your pet’s needs! I have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is safe and well taken care of. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure it gets done. As long as I’m supplied with instructions and can get in touch with you with any questions, I’ll be able to secure your pets and protect them according to your preferences and care standards.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, growing up we had birds, cats, chinchillas, dogs, fish, iguanas, and hamsters. As an adult I’ve cared for a dog everyday. I have a Shih Tzu, his name is Mr. Harley. I understand animals all have their own needs; whether it’s a puppy who needs lots of attention, love, and playtime, a senior or sick baby that needs love, rest, attention, and medications. Dietary needs are also important. I cook for Mr. Harley he eat a health diet of fresh veggies and protein. I work from home most of the time Monday to Friday. My schedule is very flexible. I make my own schedule which allows me the time to care for pets. At home here I have a nice size back yard. We have a privacy fence that wraps around back yard. This is great for exercise, potty breaks, and safety. My pet eats on a schedule twice a day and has a routine with his meds. Inside the house we have hard surface floors, but we have rugs laid out for balance and mobility. I try and give them everything they need.

“Megan was great with our large, sometimes anxious dog. He was quick to trust her and had a great walk.”

“Ashley helped me out when my normal walker bailed. I was in Florida panicking but she did a great job walking my Boxer Baby. Very friendly and quick to respond.”

About: I've owned dogs, fostered dogs, and cared for friends dogs when they traveled. I've worked with dogs fearful of people and men, dogs fearful of wood floors, stairs, etc. I have worked with elderly dogs with health issues. I'm very good at being calm, consistent, and affectionate with dogs. I'm doing this for dog time, not money. I am not able to commit to a dog for life right now! I am not very experienced with puppies, treating involved health issues, and I cannot care for dogs with aggression especially with kids, since I have kids at home. I leave for work around 7 and get home around 3. When home, I enjoy having excuses for walking with them and lounging and watching TV. I have a fenced yard and a dog door but I usually leave the door closed and go out with dogs unless I know them well.

“Jasmine was great! Very reliable and understanding. My dog, Riley had a good time. Definitely booking with her again!”

About: Hi, I'm Tammy. I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a very young girl. While you're away, your fur babies will be treated as special as if they were my very own. I will walk, feed, bathe (if requested), and provide lots and lots of snuggles. I'm a retired state government employee, so I'm now able to devote my time, attention, and affection towards taking care of your precious pet. I absolutely love animals, but I don't have any pets of my own, so I look very forward to showering your pets with attention and affection. I am available to let the puppies out for pottie breaks as often as needed and to let them run in the yard. My time will be devoted to your precious baby, and I can't wait to meet you and them! I will send you photos and/or messages throughout the day to keep you updated and reassured as often as you prefer. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur babies safe, happy and active. If your fur babies aren't active that's perfectly ok, too...they can lounge around and relax, watch TV, or listen to music. At night, your doggies can sleep with me if that's what they're used to, they can be crated, or sleep on their doggie bed. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young rather it be neighbors, friends, or family! I’ve always enjoyed the work and I’m looking to expand my pet friends! I currently work full time so most of my visits to homes will have to be in the evening or weekends, but if you choose to select me to sit I do have a partner that will care for you pet on the opposite schedule of mine. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own! I also have a room in my house dedicated to the pups! Saftey is a top priority for us.

About: I have two dogs and one cat. So I know the high need to making sure your pet gets everything they need from being fed, walked, pet, and loved on. My dogs go out multiple times throughout the day to play in the big back yard we play fetch and they just run around. I will treat each animal like my own. I do know CPR and am quick on my feet if something needs my attention. I have MANY toys for dogs and cats so they can have lots of fun with each other. My dogs love meeting new dogs and cats. I do crate my dogs just because one has severe separation anxiety. Due to this I know how to give medication if needed and how much attention animals who have this need. We love to take our dogs on hikes close by when it is sunshine outside!
