Dog Walking In River Market

“We’ve been working with Sam for almost 2 months now a couple times a week. She is an excellent communicator and very consistent. We definitely recommend”

About: We are both fully remote tech workers, with tons of flexibility to take your pets on walks, tire them out with playtime, or just hang out! And when it comes to your walker/sitter - two is better than one! Since we do all our Meet and Greets together, we both will learn the ins and outs of caring for your pet. After our beloved dog, Rufus, passed away, Rover is our outlet to get our dog fix in. We both have experience with senior pets and are comfortable following special instructions and giving medications. We're also comfortable caring for cats of any disposition, whether cuddly or cranky! Both of our schedules are extremely flexible! We can schedule dog walks and playtimes for mornings, afternoons, and evenings with no issue. We walk the Riverfront Heritage trail daily anyway, and would love to bring your dog with me for company! We're also down to keep it low key and hang out to keep your dog or cat company while working or reading a book. We try to do all of our walks together but if one of us is held up in a meeting or feeling unwell, the other can always take over solo! We are focusing on drop-ins and walks for now. We keep all dogs securely on-leash and avoid interactions with other animals. Depending on your pet's physical needs, we are okay with more frequent short outings or longer, intense jogging exercise sessions. We will follow your usual outing, feeding, and crating schedule in order to keep your pet's routine consistent.

“Theresa was punctual, responsive, and it was clear she loved our doggies. She had great communication during and after the walks and our dogs were well-taken care of. We will book with her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered in the past, and continue to care for my friend’s pets while they are away. I am open to house-sit, drop in, or go on however long of a walk your best friend needs. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets in their own homes, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments - cuddlers, partiers, grouches, and loungers all deserve love! I can’t wait to spend time with your best friend and give you peace of mind. I work full time, but work from home Mondays and Fridays. Currently I could do drop-ins and walks anytime Fridays through Mondays. For Tuesday through Thursday, I would only be available early morning and evening. I’m available any day for house sitting stays which includes overnight care in your home with evening and morning routines. We can discuss if midday drop-in or walk are needed on the days i’m in the office. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, play/potty time, and quick updates. Walks include a 30-minute walk at your dog’s usual pace, leash handling, water refill if needed, and notes to the owner. If your dog needs longer than 30 minutes, Incan also do a longer walk for an hour. I make a point to ensure pets are following their schedules and any training they are working on. I always make sure to double check any needs/wants with the owner, to make sure pets are at their most comfortable. Let me know how your pet thrives in their environment, the more details the better! I will keep you updated on anything you specifically ask, or of any questions I might have that will help me get to know your pet better.

“Jessica was great! You can tell she truly cares about building relationships with the dog as she came to our home to meet our pup before watching her solo. Communication was great and she was very respectful of our home.”

“Regan has been absolutely wonderful with Buddy. As our first-ever dog walker, he’s set the bar incredibly high. He’s attentive, gentle, and truly understands Buddy’s needs. I feel so lucky to have found someone so caring and dependable!”

“Tanapa is wonderful, from the beginning she has been clear in communication and is also great with my dog. She is always on time and arrives with a smile, I would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! My name is Briah, I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I obtained an animal science degree with an emphasis on companion animal care. I also have 5 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant in local clinics, as I’ve recently transitioned careers I miss seeing furry friends on a daily basis. Unfortunately I don’t have pets of my own at this time, but I would love to help care for yours! I currently work from home 3 days a week, and spend most of my time at home on the weekends. I am able to provide walks and ear scratches throughout the day. I do not have any pets of my own in my home, I live in an apartment with a park conveniently located right out front for walks.

“Kushi was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate me and my dog last minute this weekend due to a medical procedure, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was incredibly attentive to all the details, right on time, and super responsive with communication from start to finish. She really showed up for us when we needed her most, and that kind of reliability and care means everything. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Kushi enough!”

About: I grew up in a cat and dog household. My parents over the years have had four dogs. Ranging from pit mixes to labs. I often times pet sit for my friends whenever they go out of town. I have three of my own cats. My oldest cat is a senior at 16 years, my second is five years old, and my youngest is a seventh month old kitten. My cats have their own dietary restrictions so I understand the importance of respecting a strict pet diet. I often times pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights with their dogs. I live in the river market area and typically take my friends dogs out for walks at the riverfront. I am able to do overnights. I am unable to house any pets in my apartment. However, I can spend as much time with your fur babies in your home! I have my phone on me at all times for open communication and plenty of photos of your pup or kitty!

About: I grew up with a lab/pitbull mix, and have lived with other big dogs. I get along with all puppies, and am down to lounge with them, walk them, or play! I am a remote worker, so I plan to walk dogs on my lunch break (approximately 12 PM - 1 PM). I can also check in on dogs and feed them as needed. I always make sure they have food and water, and feel safe in their environment. I’m not one to push a dog out of their comfort zone, but I will always approach your puppy with kindness and consideration.

“Thanks for the cute pics!”

“Maddi was on time (7am & 9pm) every single day. So appreciated her reliable and punctual support and care for Viktor while I was on the road. ????”

About: For the past three years, I’ve cared for pets through house sitting and drop ins. At home, I have 3 cats and a special needs Shiba Inu with anxiety, so I’m especially mindful with sensitive or high strung pets. I understand that just like people, each pet is different and has their own personality, as well as needs to feel safe and cared for. I currently work full time, but I am available for drop ins twice a day. I can do the first drop in around 11am, and the second any time after 5pm. I’m also available anytime on weekends. Starting in June, I’ll have an open schedule and can be available throughout the day/overnights. In my home, pets are cared for with patience, and a calm environment that supports their routines and comfort. In your home, I’m equally respectful and attentive, maintaining their normal schedule so they feel secure and stress free while you’re away.

“My dog fell in LOVE the 1st time he saw Kelsey. My mom even said she thought Kelsey was a great fit for Grayson. Thank you so much Kelsey!”

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors animals since a young age. I have grown up around animals because of living on a farm. I only work 3 days a week, so have availability on my off days. I would love to fill those off days with caring for your animal. I am experienced with dog walking with dogs either knowing how to heel or those that pull. I am comfortable with keeping animals safe on walks and during play.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am patient, detail-oriented, great with routines, medication schedules, senior pets, and high-energy animals who need structure and engagement. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and playtime. I prioritize flexibility so pets are never rushed and always receive proper care. I follow all instructions carefully, keep pets in clean and secure environments, and monitor behavior closely. I respect your home, provide updates, and ensure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.

“Melissa went above and beyond!! When our little dog needed to get to the vet unexpectedly, Melissa got him there! Kind heart, great care and very conscientious!! Thank you Melissa!!”

About: I would love to spend time with your pup(s) and give you peace of mind while you are traveling, busy for the day or working. I know how important pets are to families and individuals so I will treat them like my own! I also have a Golden retriever who is great with any and all size dogs. She has truly never met a person or dog that she doesn’t like! I have a flexible schedule as I work remote so I can be available based your dogs schedule. Also I frequent dog parks to get my Golden’s energy out and would be happy to take your dog(s) as well. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! I love to go on walks in the morning/early evening and spend time cuddling on the couch. What ever your dog needs, I’m available to serve! I am searching for jobs so I am on my computer at home for 2-3 hours a day, perfect for nap time. I have a very pet friendly home so the more the merrier! There is a park across the street and designated dog stations for them to potty.

About: Hello! My name is Kamryn, I'm not just another pet sitter – I'm a fellow pet lover who's been in your shoes. For the past four years, I've been a devoted cat parent, understanding the unique joys and responsibilities that come with feline companionship. Beyond my own furry friend, I've also had the pleasure of dog-sitting for many wonderful families, including overnight stays and regular check-ins. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust completely with your animals. My most transformative experience came when I cared for my aunt's senior husky, Xander. He was battling seizures and diabetes, and it was a challenging time for everyone. But I saw it as an opportunity to make a real difference in his life. From administering insulin injections to ensuring he got his daily walks, I was committed to providing him with the best possible care. What I learned during that time was invaluable. I discovered the profound impact of consistent, loving care on an animal's well-being. Seeing Xander's health improve and his spirit lifted was incredibly rewarding. Now, he's thriving, and I'm inspired to bring that same level of dedication and compassion to your pets. Whether you have energetic puppies still learning the ropes or senior dogs who prefer a gentle stroll, I'm equipped to handle their unique needs. I offer flexible walks, from 30 minutes to an hour, tailored to fit your pet's schedule and preferences. Let's connect and create a personalized plan that ensures your animals are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I can't wait to meet them My day starts bright and early around 3 a.m. because I'm up early for work. I let Xander out for a quick potty break, then I get myself ready for the day, making sure his food and water bowls are topped off. Before heading out the door, I give my cat Lana a quick check-in, making sure she's doing okay. We grab some treats and squeeze in a 30-minute walk. Since my job allows me off at 1, my evenings are reserved for child and pet care. After my day is done, I make sure to dedicate an hour to a longer walk with Xander as soon as I get home. In the evenings, Lana and I unwind on the couch or in my room. I feed them both at the same time. Since I have a set schedule, Xander, Lana, and I all thrive on the routines we've established! When caring for pets, I offer a range of services tailored to their needs and the owner's preferences. This includes daily or weekly walks to ensure pets get enough exercise and fresh air. I also provide overnight pet care at the client's home, which involves maintaining their regular feeding and potty schedules, as well as offering companionship and playtime. Additionally, I offer check-in visits at the client's home, where I can provide food, water, and offer some attention. Since my job allows me off at 1, my afternoons and evenings are reserved for child and pet care. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away, always respecting their routines and the owner's instructions.
