Dog Walking Prelude

About: Hello, my name is Karaleen, Kara is fine. I’m 33, Navy veteran and just working on my degrees. This gives me quite a bit of down time. So I would love to help out with your pets! I have had pets all of my life, my family actually bred Corgis at one point, and have two girls of my own. so I would love to be able to give some head scratches and belly rubs to your furry members of your family whenever you may need it. Whether it be a walk, or some play time, or just keeping them company at the house. I have reliable transportation so no worries there. Hopefully I can help you out with whatever your pet needs are. Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon. -Kara I am a full time student so I have a lot of time on my hands with a flexible schedule. Open to different times throughout the days and weeks I take bookings for either walks or in home visits with some play time. I have enough time to give them anywhere from something quick to longer visits

About: I’ve grown up with pets and currently have a 5 year old poodle! He’s the best boy, but I’m sure your pet is great too! I make my own schedule as a piano tuner, so I have the ability to work around your schedule helping your pet whenever you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet safe. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and treating your property with care. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Ocean! I’m an experienced Veterinary Technician with over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. Working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs extra patience, or requires medications or special care, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced hands. My top priorities are always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know they’re family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I already work full-time as a veterinary technician. I’m used to structuring my days around animal care, including feeding schedules, medication times, monitoring behavior, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. On a typical day, I’m already in a rhythm of caring for multiple animals, so adding pet sitting or drop-ins fits in smoothly before or after work, as well as on my days off. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet in my care gets consistent, reliable attention without feeling rushed. I’m a calm, reliable, and detail oriented person who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a specific routine, medication, or just some loving attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home.

About: I grew up around countless different species of dogs, whether it be the ones I had growing up or other peoples. Every shape, size, and breed i’ve ever encountered I fell in love with instantly. Taking care of dogs is something that comes so naturally to me being that they have been apart of my life for so long. I can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working, but it’s always either all morning or all night, leaving me with a whole half of the day for me to take care of any dog in need! My schedule is posted weekly and I will be able to notify you of my availability for the following week every Thursday. I am very open to taking any preferences or suggestions for anyone interested in my assistance, and I will go out of my way to care for your pet as best you see fit!

About: I have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time caring for them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. One area I am not comfortable with is food aggression. I’d kindly have to decline if your pet struggles with this! Although I do not have a yard of my own, my property has a small dog park available to me! I am free throughout the whole week except Sunday's. If Sunday is needed, I will do my best to accommodate!! I’m also available all hours of the day. I care for pets by walking, feeding, playing, and loving on them the most! I am capable of sticking to a schedule if they have one.

“Kelli has been an absolute Godsend to me and my pups life! Her communication is 10/10! As an owner of an older pup, my dog has been through some changes with her body. Kelli has been more than a helping hand when it comes to helping her stand up, making sure she goes potty safely, giving medication or cleaning a wound! She is extremely friendly, easy to reach out to and I know my pup absolutely loves spending time with her. I am so lucky to have found someone who truly cares about my pups wellbeing and is flexible!! Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you!”

About: My father is a veterinarian so I grew up surrounded by animals. We always had a large number of pets and I always helped with pet-care. Some of the responsibilities I had growing up were; cleaning kennels, cleaning litter boxes, scooping poop outside, assisting with oral medications, bathing, walking, feeding and playing with multiple different breeds. Not only do I enjoy taking care of animals because it makes me feel happy, but I love making them feel good as well! I really look forward to working with you and your furbabies! I currently do not drive so walking and UBER would be my only transportation. I will be looking for customers that are close in my area until I can get a car. I have a German Shepard (who's always looking for a friend) and two cats at home so if your dog is small and isn't comfortable with other pets, I would suggest coming to pet sit at your house instead. I provide pet sitting and walks through the local neighborhood as long it's not too hot or raining. I prefer cuddles over kennels, so your fur-baby will be loved and well taken care of!

Includes senior and disabled animals. - Trained in fear-free practices, animal behavior, and reading body language.

This includes feeding times, medication routines, playtime, and any other care instructions you provide. I am available after 10 AM on all days except Tuesdays. I prioritize providing consistent, reliable visits and building trust with every animal I care for so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets feel safest when they have a predictable routine. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule, respecting their space, and following their owner’s instructions. I take a fear-free approach by allowing pets to interact at their own pace and never force attention or handling. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs so I can provide personalized care that helps each pet feel safe. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable, respected, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up with two shih tzus. I also love medium size dogs and look forward to adopting soon! I love all types of dogs. I am currently working from home and figured I could use my extra time wisely by doing something I love, walking and playdates with pups! if you need me I am available for same day dog walks, or if you need me to come to your place and play with your puppy.

“Courtney has done an awesome job taking care of Reese. I would highly recommended her.”

phillip C.

“I’m SO incredibly thankful I found Jennifer! She takes such good care of my boy when I’m at work. She even treats him to “spa days” by brushing him with a brush she bought for him. She is sweet and patient which is needed with Stryker since he takes a few meetings to warm up to new people. She keeps me updated and lets me know/asks questions if Stryker is acting “off”. Don’t think, just book with her!”

Chellsey B.

“What a great walker she has been there for us last minute when needed and has gone above ad beyond expectations. She will not disappoint you, she is such a sweetie.”
