Dog Walking Prelude

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.

“Michael was honestly amazing, I contacted him a little bit last minute due to a work trip but he happily accepted and made time to come see the dogs beforehand and they loved him from the start. They aren’t small dogs, and he had zero problem handling either one and dealing with the them. He was so awesome with updates and photos throughout the whole week it helped me feel so relaxed and at ease. The pups looked incredibly happy in every photo and in every walk and gave them everything they needed from a food and supplement stand point which was really awesome. I really appreciated everything Michael did for us he was a rock star!”

“Kristen is the Bees knees! It’s been great having her walk Angel on the days my husband and I are slammed with work! We’re so lucky to have found her!”

“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!”

“We contacted David to help with our dog, Bella Mae, for a couple days last week as I had minor surgery and could not walk her. David was nice enough to stop by prior to scheduled time and meet us and Bella. He is a fine young man who clearly loves animals and was great with Bella Mae.”

“Kelli was our dog walker for almost 2 years she was great with our dog! So sweet and loving to her I never worried when I was away. Kelli watch our dog at our apt. so that our dog was happy and safe in her own space. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a little help with their furry friend!”

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.

About: I've been watching dogs and cats for the past four years whether that be family, friends, or neighbors that have trusted me! Allowed me the opportunity to walk, feed, bathe, and look after them. I hope you can do the same! I'm a college student who has a lot of free time. I love being physical and doing outdoorsy things so hopefully your pets can take advantage of that :) I'm a college student that takes classes mainly online so I have more free time than the average person. Usually I am available all day Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Then Tuesday I have classes from 5:30-9pm! I can easily crate your pets if needed! I have 4 dogs of my own and only one gets crated so I get the need :)) Even blocking off rooms is not an issue for me! As long as the pet and parents are comfortable that's what matters.

About: I’ve taken care of friends pets and animals for around nine years! It truly brings so much joy to the season. Dogs are my favorite animal and I am passionate about all breeds. I can take care of your pet any time you need whether it’s daily or weekly! This includes overnight stays or daily walks any number of times. I can ensure your dog is fed and has water on top of exercise if needed! If your dog needs crated I am able to do so. I can take them out regardless if your yard is fenced.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets—from dogs and cats to birds, fish, chickens, and even llamas! My sweet dog Nyla crossed the rainbow bridge in July 2024, and caring for other dogs has been such a meaningful way to continue sharing that love. What makes my care special: • I only host 1–2 dogs at a time so your pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention • Calm, cozy home environment—perfect for dogs who prefer a quieter space • Lots of walks, playtime, and exercise (I live near great parks and trails!) • I enjoy running, so high-energy pups are absolutely welcome • Experienced with administering basic medications if needed While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets safe, supervised outdoor time with plenty of exercise and enrichment. What you can expect: • Frequent photo and update messages 📸 • A safe, loving environment tailored to your dog’s needs My goal is simple: to make your dog feel comfortable, happy, and loved—while giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶 I work from home and have a flexible schedule which makes it easier for short notice or to be able to provide service if needed more than once a days. I try to learn as much as I can about your pet such as: routine, likes and dislikes, allergies, health concerns, etc to help make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: My names J’quan but my friends call me Jackie 👋🏾 Just your friendly neighborhood veteran! I’ve been watching my friends dogs, cats, kids (even snakes 😅) since 2016 when I was first stationed at Bragg. Do you need to pull a last minute CQ shift? You have a 4 day coming up? Leaving town for the holidays? No worries! I understand the lifestyle and can accommodate accordingly. I currently run my business and work from home. I also attend school full time so I’ll be able to give full attention and care to your pet! I just moved to a new house w/ plenty of fenced in back yard space for your animals to run around! We have pet friendly LPV flooring so easy clean up in case of accidents 😂 Large open concept living room for zoomies that also can be easily supervised from my at home work space.

“Chelsey is super friendly and took excellent care of Apollo on the walk! Would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Connected with my dog right away. Caitlin clearly loves animals and enjoys what she does. Caitlin took care of everything and sent photos via Rover. My dog, Max, was well taken care of. I feel super confident in asking Caitlin to take care of Max in the future. Responsive, on time, and respectful of property. Highly recommended!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pets! That comes with a high level of compassion and training abilities. Fun fact: My English Mastiff was 6 months away from beating the world record age when she passed! I currently have three fur babies; two handsome fatty felines and one majestic Shepherd mix. I spend my days making sure my cats never see the bottom of their bowl (we know how that goes) and at least two downtown adventures with my dog. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I live just a few blocks from a dog park and love giving dogs plenty of time to play, explore, and get their energy out. My dog, Sasha, is extremely friendly and loves meeting new friends, so she’d be excited to have a playmate too. In my home, I do allow pets on the bed and couch. They live here too! You can expect a loving royal treatment from our family :)

“We plan to continue with Deniz for midday walks. She is accommodating, nice and professional. She does a great job communicating with us time and activity of the dog walks. Two thumbs up!”

“We loved having Ana walk our dog and can't wait to book with her again!”

About: 🐾 Wagging Tails, Happy Hearts, Peace of Mind While You're Apart 🐾 I have a genuine connection with animals and a love for them that is difficult to put into words. From as far back as I can remember, I've been drawn to nature and animals of all kinds—big and small. Caring for animals isn't just something I do; it's a lifelong passion that has always been a part of who I am. Throughout my life, I've rescued and cared for countless animals and have a natural ability to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pet care goes beyond meeting basic physical needs. My goal is to provide companionship, enrichment, comfort, and an overall sense of well-being so your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while you're away. Whether your furry family members are staying with me or I'm caring for them in the comfort of your home, they will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companions. Every pet has their own unique personality, routines, quirks, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and respect those details. Maintaining their familiar routines helps keep them comfortable, stress-free, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring and capable hands. **Specialized Care & Experience** I have experience caring for pets with a wide variety of unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet is shy, reactive, unsocialized, elderly, very young, disabled, recovering from illness or injury, or simply has their own special routines and quirks, I provide patient, individualized care tailored to their comfort and well-being. My experience includes: • Senior (geriatric) pet care • Puppy and kitten (pediatric) care • Special-needs and disabled pets • Reactive, fearful, or unsocialized animals • Medication administration (oral, topical, and other routine medications) • Post-surgical and recovery support • Mobility assistance and accommodations • Maintaining specialized feeding, exercise, and behavioral routines I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their preferences, triggers, habits, and routines so they feel safe, secure, and understood while you're away. ❤️ Pet care is my primary focus this summer, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules and care needs. I understand how important consistency and routine are, so I work to ensure their care fits seamlessly into their normal day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, multiple daily visits, medication, specialized attention, or full day/overnight sitting, I have the availability to provide dependable, personalized care and plenty of attention while you're away. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment that feels as close to your pet's normal routine as possible. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard with plenty of shade for supervised outdoor time. I share my home with one senior dog and three cats who are accustomed to other animals. Depending on your preferences and your pet's personality, they can socialize with my pets or be kept completely separate. I understand that not every animal enjoys company, and I'm happy to accommodate whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help maintain consistency and reduce stress while you're away. I also respect your home, belongings, privacy, and household routines, ensuring both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always to provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved whether they're staying with me or remaining in the comfort of their own home.

“Jen went out of her way with my dogs to make sure they were comfortable with her before I went out of town. I have all rescues and one was very abused prior to adopting him. He is very shy and fearful of new people. Jen agreed to come a handful of times with me home and without me home for him to build a trusting relationship. It worked out so well. I would use her without hesitation any time I need a dogsitter if she is available! Thank you so much!”

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