Dog Walking Rivertown

About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child as my family had a farm when I was growing up. I have also rescued most of the animals that I’ve had and wish to rescue way more in the future. I’m currently enrolled in Schoolcraft community college studying nursing. I don’t have a job at the moment and have a lot of time on my hands so I would love to take care of your precious babies I actually will not be able to take care of your pets at my house as I do have some pets that don’t get along with other animals so I wouldn’t want to take the risk but I would love to come to your house and take care of your pets and walk them and look after them exactly how you want me to

“Our dog is a little wary of strangers and he loved Jeannette right away!! He greeted her like family the first time he met her and I immediately felt comfortable having our dog in her care. She is a total professional and gives us such peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.”

“Azariah is the best! She accommodated last minute and my girls loved her! They are dog reactive and have to be walk separately and Azariah had no problem either. She’s the sweetest and communicated well with me. 10/10 will recommend and will be using her again”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: I’ve cared for plenty dogs and cats over the years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, distributing medication, potty breaks, and check-ins. I even have my own love baby . I’m very patient, attentive, dependable. I only accept bookings on days when I’m completely available, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I plan my schedule around each booking so your pet receives consistent care, companionship, playtime, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and treat your home with the same and or even better respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Lauren went above and beyond today! My keys weren't accessible at my house so she drove all the way to my work and grabbed my other set, just so zig could get her walk in. She's truly the best!”

“Randi is wonderful and I highly recommend her to other loving pet parents out there! From the introduction to scheduled walks, Randi remains compassionate and caring to my pups! I wish I could take her with me to my upcoming move LOL!”

About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a calming, comforting presence your pup can rely on. With patience, affection, and a natural ability to put dogs at ease, I create an stress-free, loving environment that feels like home. Ps. I own a 6 months old mini Aussie. He’s 15 pounds and very playful and friendly with other dogs ◡̈ I currently work from home with flexible hours so I have plenty of time to spare. My daily routine allows me to manage being available and home to take care of the pups I provide a safe, calm, and dependable environment where pets feel completely secure. I prioritize consistency, gentle handling, and close attention to each pet’s needs, creating a trustworthy space where they can relax, feel understood, and thrive while you’re away.

About: CCS Grad Student based West Village. Grew up in a Shitzu home, but I only get to see her on weekends. However, I've been taking care of small dogs and pet-sitting dogs and cats for fam/friends for the last 4 years. I'm a full-time grad student, so aside from evening or afternoon classes, I'm flexible. Morning and/or Evening walking + feeding schedules are no issue. I’m a morning person! I've cared for pets in my own home or their own, and my primary focus is always making sure they are comfortable. Usually, that means trying my best to follow their normal routines.

About: I am trained in Dog Behavior and Management from my previous job at Camp Bow Wow. I’m bubbly, kind, and patient with humans and dogs. I recently moved away from home where my family dog lives. But when I was home I did all feeding, bathing, walks, playing, and training. I have a fenced in backyard and friendly neighborhood dogs that love to play (if your pup is interested and comfortable). Availability 24/7 for walks.

“Maria is awesome! She’s very prompt at responding, and has been great with my difficult/moody pup! I feel very comfortable with Maria taking care of my fur baby!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and was the proud pet parent of a Yorkie-Poodle named Jazz, who was my best friend and companion for 15 wonderful years. Saying goodbye to him in 2019 was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced, but caring for him taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs—and that they deserve to be treated with patience, kindness, and love. Professionally, I own a client-focused business where trust, reliability, and attention to detail are essential every day. Those same qualities carry over into the way I care for pets. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved family member is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I provide dog walks and drop-in visits in your home, where your pet can remain comfortable in the environment they know and love. Before our first visit, I take the time to learn about your pet's routine, personality, preferences, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. During each visit, I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. Whether your pet enjoys an energetic walk, a favorite toy, quiet companionship, or simply extra affection, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to keep your pet's normal routine as uninterrupted as possible. I'll always ensure your pet's safety and well-being by paying close attention to their behavior and surroundings, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. Communication is just as important as great pet care, so you'll receive updates and photos after each visit, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I do not offer overnight stays, and medication requests are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure I can safely meet your pet's needs. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pet feels loved, comfortable, and secure, while giving you complete confidence that they're in caring, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and providing your beloved companion the same kindness, patience, and unconditional love that made my 15 years with Jazz so special. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks while balancing my other professional responsibilities. I carefully schedule each visit so every pet receives the time, attention, companionship, exercise, and consistency they deserve. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while they're apart. Because I provide care in my clients' homes, my goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure in the environment they know best. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special requests. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before every walk, and I remain attentive to my surroundings to help keep pets safe. I also pay close attention to each pet's body language and comfort level, allowing them to build trust with me at their own pace. As a small business owner, I understand the importance of professionalism, reliability, and respecting my clients' homes. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect in my own, leaving it just as I found it. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I'll provide updates and photos during my visits to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, cared for, and comfortable, and for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in dependable, compassionate hands.
