Dog Walking Rose Park

About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, and get along with animals large and small. I've trained anxious dogs to love walks, and even taught a cat to roll over. A good day to me has at least one puppy cuddle! I'm a remote freelancer, so I can easily fit around you and your pet's schedule! I know every pet and every pet parent has their own habits and patterns, so I work to make sure things are as consistent as possible, honoring your home and your schedule.

“Hailee is so wonderful! She’s helped me out when I was in a pickle multiple times and my dog loves her. She’s easy going, great with pets, and has great communication:). Thanks Hailee!”

“Jenna was quick to respond and provide a picture at the start and end of her walk with my pup! At the end of the walk I would have appreciated an overview of how the walk went with a bit more detail eg. he went #2 and it was solid, he mostly sniffed around, etc.”

About: I provide calm, attentive, and reliable pet care tailored to each animal’s needs. I had my own dog for 13 years, who passed away last year, giving me deep understanding of lifelong care and companionship. I’ve also been a dog foster and worked with multiple rescue groups, caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments, including shy, anxious, and high-energy personalities. In addition, I have extensive pet sitting experience with all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable with daily routines, walks, playtime, and basic medications, and I bring patience, presence, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my availability as needed, which helps me be reliable for both last-minute and recurring bookings. I structure my week around my commitments so I can give each pet consistent, attentive care without feeling rushed. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable support and maintain a calm, present energy with every animal I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and never take risks during walks or outdoor time. I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something feels off. I also maintain cleanliness in feeding areas and litter boxes, and ensure pets always have fresh water and a comfortable environment. My goal is to create a safe, grounded presence so pets feel secure, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.

“Cari is our absolute favorite sitter for our Holly dog. She is flexible, reliable, kind and generous with love and affection. Holly always comes back home from Cari hikes exhausted and happy!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since I was a child and I’ve done over 30 pet sits through friends, family, and through Trusted Housesitters! I’ve had experience with a wide range of dogs and cats, such as anywhere from healthy and energetic to older and needing special care. I absolutely love spending time with animals! I currently work online so I love to go for walks for a break and absolutely love the company of animals! I am able to do walks or check-ins any time, generally! I am able to come to the owners home to drop in and give attention, feed, or take for a walk, and follow any routine needed for your pets!

“Kady was so sweet and kind to Russ. I can tell that he absolutely adored her. She was very professional and flexible with the changes I wanted to make. Will def book a walk with her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Different abilities from young to elderly dogs and from 15 lbs to 150 lbs. I like to practice calmness in regular and unknown settings. I usually have the mornings free to be able to walk/ run or hiking. I like to make sure the animals and myself are safe. I make sure animals have a clean area to eat and play. A healthy trusting relationship between caregiver and animal is crucial for me to know that everyone is safe and happy.

About: I have been working with animals for 18 years. Everything from dogs and cats, to horses, reptiles, small animals, birds and fish. I have managed and worked at daycare and boarding facilities, vet clinics, foster care programs, and have been a dog trainer for the last 7 years. I have experience with selective dogs, fearful dogs/cats, the highest of high energy dogs (I have a Dutch Shepherd and a Malincollie, so I have a special place in my heart for the high drive breeds) puppies/kittens, and seniors. I’ve never met a dog I couldn’t win over; I am patient, gentle, approachable, and have done extensive work on understanding body language in order to help every dog I meet. I currently am a dog trainer part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the occasional weekend outdoor trip. Other than that, my schedule is open. I care for every animal the way I would want my pets treated. I ensure their safety, happiness, cleanliness, as well as mental and psychical stimulation and exercise. Every animal in my care will have the time of their lives with proper outlets, and proper feeding and potty schedules.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, real-life experience and love for animals. For the past year, I’ve been the primary caregiver for a 6-year-old golden retriever rescue, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to meet a dog exactly where they are—especially when trust and routine really matter. I also grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. In addition, I spent four months caring for a beautiful cat on a farm in North Carolina, giving me hands-on experience with cats and different living environments. I treat every animal as if they’re my own, with genuine attention, affection, and respect for their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have open availability and do all of my schoolwork from home, so I’m able to be present, flexible, and attentive throughout the day. On occasion, I may need to step away for a few hours for work once or twice a week, but I always plan ahead to make sure pets are comfortable, exercised, and cared for before and after. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I have a small dog park like literally right across the street from me so it's perfect!! I care for pets as if they’re my own, giving them the best love and attention I can. I make sure they get healthy meals, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. I also have plenty of friends with dogs in the building and area where they can call meet and play!

About: I live with my hubby in our lovely, warm, full Rose Park home. We have one mature cat (female - Frida, spayed; RIP 10/2025 at age 20!) and a Great Pyrenees mix, Wadi (male, neutered). I WFH and we share a vehicle. We are a very active family, but we also know how to relax and cuddle! We believe in putting our pets first as much as we can, and will do the same for yours. Hire me for an empathetic and adaptable caregiver for your pet! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, pending I have access to our shared family vehicle. I am most available Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, but can work something out with advance notice T-Th. I live and reside on the Westside and share a car with my hubby; therefore, it’s best if I’m also able to access a vehicle in case of emergencies, for general commuting, and any puppy dog or kitty cat field trips. I have a small fenced backyard and dogs are part of the family. At this time, we are tentatively open to doing one or two small to midsize dog overnight stays in our home just because of space, but I will keep folks apprised of when/if that changes.

“Melia was able to walk my dog while I was out and he had a great time! Melia provided photos of the walk and was also able to accommodate feeding him after the walk, which was a huge help for us! Thanks Melia!”

About: I’m okay with any animal of any size and love to take care of them in general! I would love to meet your special pet!!! I’ve been a pet owner since I was in the 5th grade and I’ve also taken care of neighborhood pets! I can do pet care just about everyday! I’m working part time at the moment but I’m still free for mornings! I’m very flexible! I I would open up my room to the pets and let them meet my dog Tobi (he’s fixed) Tobi loves to meet new dogs as do i! He’s very good will all animals as well!!

About: I have had pets in my home for my entire life. I have volunteered in animal shelters since 2019 and currently do regular shifts at a local shelter, where I walk dogs (I am trained to the most advanced level, meaning I can interact with and walk dogs who are still working on their social skills and interactions), take dogs and cats on local news shows to encourage adoption, foster dogs in my own home, and take part in educational opportunities to continually advance my animal care and advocacy abilities. My full-time job is remote and has a flexible schedule, so I can hang out with pets for much of the day and take breaks for outside time, playtime, appointments, and so on. I also teach a handful of yoga classes every week, usually in the late mornings, but the times vary from week to week. I am happy to give your pet what they need, whether that's scritichies, playtime, walks, gentle time sitting around, medicine, and so on. Whatever it is, I will be patient with them and their needs.
