Dog Walking Portage Des Sioux

About: I have been caring for a Maltese since I was 10 years old. I am 21 now and I live away from home. Dogs bring me joy and I have a lot of time on my hands so I look forward to the experience. I do not work so I spend a lot of time at home and you can trust that your dog will be in good and attentive care when they are with me.Also I went through training programs with my own dog; I am not a certified trainer but I know basic obedience training such as sit and lay down. I enjoy walking and exercise so 30 minute walks will not be an issue and overnight stays are welcome I enjoy animals.

“Awesome experience. Sabrina is absolutely amazing.”

About: I’ve taken care of my 2 cats and dog for many years. I have grown up with puppies and dogs and have dog sitted my sisters huskey every so often. I am very passionate about making the dogs happy and content! I am currently working part time hours so I can make myself available as much as possible. My pets are not friendly with outside dog or cats. So, I will have to sit at clients houses for the most part if available.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.

I’m currently studying so I’m not working right now putting my time into studying and with that I have plenty of time to take care of anyone pets! I’m available all week and all day. I can keep your pet safe and entertained “pets get bored as well” and safe. My priority is safety over everything. I hope to clients who can communicate any concerns and details that I need to know.

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and have experience caring for my own pets as well as those of friends and family. I love animals of all sizes and personalities, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and kindness. I'm responsible, organized, and communicative, and I take the trust involved in caring for someone's beloved pet seriously. I have a calm, gentle approach and enjoy taking the time to help animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their family is away. ❤️ I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I'm available for cat drop-in visits, dog walks, and weekend house sitting in your home. I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's routine and needs. I understand how important consistency and dependable care are, and I'd love to help give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands while you're away! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets during walks, and watch for any changes in behavior or signs of stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.

About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 6+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I am currently stay home mom and I have plenty of time taking care of the pups. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, I love dogs and have two dogs of my own - toy poodle and golden doodle and have large fenced yard with pet friendly neighborhood. Pups safety is my priority.

About: As a passionate and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique blend of reliability, empathy, and expertise to every pet I care for. I understand that your pet is a beloved member of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention as I would my own. With a strong background in pet care, from managing feeding schedules to providing mental and physical stimulation, I ensure each pet’s needs are fully met. My flexible approach allows me to adapt to different temperaments and requirements, whether for a high-energy pup, a shy cat, or a pet needing special care. Choosing me means peace of mind for you and a safe, joyful experience for your pet—because their happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, thoughtfully woven into each part of my day to ensure that every pet I look after receives the attention and care they deserve. My mornings begin with feedings, refreshing water bowls, and a bit of playtime to start each pet’s day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I check in regularly to ensure their needs are met, adjusting my schedule for specific care requirements like medication, exercise, or one-on-one attention. Evening routines often include another feeding, a final check-in, and a cozy wind-down to help them feel safe and secure before bedtime. This routine isn’t just about tasks; it’s about creating a steady rhythm that pets find comforting, reinforcing a bond of trust and familiarity with each pet in my care. When caring for pets in my home or while pet sitting in another person’s home, I prioritize creating a familiar, comforting environment tailored to each animal’s needs. At home, I maintain a designated pet-friendly area stocked with essentials like food, toys, and a cozy rest space, ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. In a client's home, I adhere to the pet’s established routines and preferences, whether it’s feeding schedules, walking times, or play habits, to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I’m vigilant about safety, cleanliness, and any specific care instructions provided by the pet’s owner, adapting to each pet’s unique personality—whether that means extra play for an energetic pup or gentle companionship for a shy cat. This approach allows pets to feel loved and cared for in a setting that feels just like home, whether it’s mine or theirs.

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
