Dog Walking In Southwood

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I've never met a dog or cat I didn't love! My childhood dog (Macy, 120lb Leonberger) could be quite the handful on a walk but learning to control such a large dog has definitely helped me with my dog walking experience. I am now a proud cat mom of my beloved Rotisserie and spoil him rotten ♡. I have been pet sitting / dog walking since I was in high school. I have worked in homes with all types of pet situations from new born puppies to homes with seven cats! I really enjoy going on nice long walks to allow dogs to sniff and explore while getting all their energy out! I also love to sit / cuddle / play with dogs in the home or backyard! I am also experienced with reptiles having owned a beautiful bearded dragon, Celeste, for 5 years!

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

“Got along very well with my mini poodle, she may be his new best friend 🧡 they did great together from the moment they meet at the meet and greet, she did an awesome job”

I will always put their safety first and will keep that in mind at all times.

“Jessica‘s walked my dog several times now. She always shows up exactly what time she says she will be there and does a great job with my dog. I’ll be using her more in the future.”

About: With 9 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I bring both professional medical knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. I have extensive hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions, including seniors, anxious pets, and animals requiring medications or specialized care. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to recognize subtle changes in behavior and health, respond calmly in stressful situations, and tailor care to each animal’s individual needs. Beyond my professional experience, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is deeply personal, and I strive to provide the same level of attentiveness, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship and routine, I create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am currently taking a break for myself from my career in veterinary medicine so I have all the time in the world for your beloved kiddos! I provide detailed updates, photos, and consistent communication so you can feel confident your pets are safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and medical needs. Whether your baby is shy, energetic, senior, or requires medications or extra monitoring, I create a calm, low-stress environment built on patience, trust, and compassion. Your pets will always be treated like family in my care.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I’m currently off over the summer while school is out so my availability is very open. I can take care of your pets when ever you need me. I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.

About: I am very chill and upbeat. I just truly love animals and love caring for them. I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, I’ve never lived without a dog. I’m very very available! I will happily dedicate all my time to your fur baby and give them all the attention they deserve and need. I am very attentive and will follow your routines for your pets with care. I know how important it is for some pets for things to go as usual, and I will be very sure of that.
