Dog Walking Spectrum

About: I’ve been around and cared for all kinds of dogs throughout my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of time to explore and enjoy their surroundings without feeling rushed. I’m very patient and like to get a feel for each dog’s personality and energy level. If they’re excited, playful, and active, I’m happy to match their energy and keep them engaged. If they’re more relaxed or shy, I’m just as happy to give them the space, patience, and comfort they need. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while they’re with me! I’m currently a Physical Therapy student, and pet care will be my part-time job alongside school. I don’t work anywhere else, so I’m able to dedicate my free time to caring for your pets! As a pet lover, I thought this would be a great way to do something I enjoy while also helping support my education. In my PT program I only have one 2-hr class a day so I have plenty of free time around that. I’m happy to use my free time for dog walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care! 🐾 I’m happy to welcome pets into my home! There is a fenced yard for outdoor play time and spacious indoor space as well. I have one dog and one cat of my own, both are very friendly and used to being around other animals. My dog especially loves having a new friend to play with! I also understand that not every pet is as social or outgoing. If your dog is more shy, nervous, or simply prefers their own space, my home has plenty of room to keep pets in separate areas when needed so they can feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home during their stay.

About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!

About: I’ve been caring for my own Schnauzer for 5 years, since he was 3 months old. When he was a puppy, he had canine coronavirus, and I personally cared for him throughout his recovery, including taking him to the vet for treatment and making sure he received his medications on schedule. I’m also very active with my dog and take him on two walks every day, usually over an hour each time. I have experience with basic dog training as well, and my dog knows commands such as sit, paw, down, and wait. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, care, and attention. I’m currently a part-time student, so I have plenty of availability during weekday daytime hours. I’m also occasionally available on weekends and can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs and my class schedule. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’m attentive to pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and behavior, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

“i could not be happier with greta's care for my pup. not only did i reach out to her last minute, to which she responded so graciously, she was so kind, warm, conscientious, and communicative. i received a steady stream of photos, videos, and updates while i was away, she left notes when necessary, and even made sure to check that i arrived home safely in time for my pet's next walk. i wasn't able to meet greta in advance (my fault, not hers!) but she took my instructions in stride and did such a wonderful job. i will 1000% request her services the next time i travel, and i highly recommend her skills to anyone who needs a caretaker for their pet.”

About: I specialize in cat drop in visits and understand that pets thrive on routine, calm handling, and trusted care in their own home. My approach is observant, patient, and detail-oriented, especially for shy, senior, or medically managed pets! During each visit, I make sure your pet is comfortable, their space stays clean, and their normal routine is respected. I’m attentive to subtle behavior changes, potty/litter box habits, appetite, and overall demeanor, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. I provide thorough rover updates with photos, notes on eating, litter box use, and mood, so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is well cared for. I’m happy to support: -single or multi-pet households -timed feedings and special instructions -oral medication and supplements -senior or shy pets who need a gentle presence If you’re looking for a reliable, low-stress, pet-savvy-sitter, I’d love to set up a meet & greet! About me: Attentive sitter providing detailed updates, medication support, and calm care for anxious pets! Schedule Flexibly With Me! I work from home and am able to be mobile for my job. Ideally, I’m popping in to your home to provide check in services, play, and attend to any other needs (food, water refresh, walking). Depending on extent of need I may be able to do weekends as well. I do have a full time remote job as well. I’m doing this in part because I enjoy caring for animals, and also to help cover some recent vet costs! Your Pet’s Safety Is My Priority! I focus on pet safety and comfort above all else. I am able to tailor my service according to the needs of you and your pet. Your Privacy: I understand the need for privacy and care when it comes to your home. I have no issue with remaining in designated areas or with cameras around common spaces. I will accommodate your comfort.

“Cie has been so gracious and helpful with my schedule and changes due to medical issues. Thank you for your understanding and always being so loving with Lucy!!”

About: I will always love to take care of any animal that needs caring. I’ve always had a passion for animals and have had many pets of my own to take care of. I know the responsibilities that come with dogs whether it be the simple things like taking them out to play or things like giving them their medication, grooming, or just making sure they get some attention. I have had plenty of years of training with my own pets (dogs and rabbits). I truly love to take care of animals and would take excellent care of your furry friend if the opportunity arises!! I’m currently on summer break so super flexible with time, I usually take my own dog on runs with me throughout the week as well as on hikes or to the beach. I am more than willing to come over and give your pet some time outside or whatever is more accommodating to you and your pet’s needs. I would love to play with your pups, board them, take them out, feed them, or any of the sorts! I always like to make sure my animals are more than taken care of and try to give them what they need whether it be physically or emotionally. I am a caretaker as well as companion for any dog. I always make sure my dog has water and food available to him as well as making sure he has access to the bathroom. I love playing, throwing the ball, or any other activity that will keep your pet entertained.

“Kaylee was very friendly with my dog and followed instructions very easily. She’s very easy to communicate with! I can tell she knows how to care for different types of dogs based on the questions she asked, and she showed that we cared about my dog’s wellbeing.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.

About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was a kid, especially cats. I grew up with my grandmother’s cat and learned early on how to be patient and attentive to their needs. I’ve also been around dogs through family members, including breeds like Huskies, so I understand different energy levels and personalities. More recently, I cared for my neighbor’s Ragdoll cat for a full summer, making sure they were well fed, engaged, and comfortable every day. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. *I would love to share photos and messages to keep the owners updated if required Currently I’m working part-time, so I’ll be available most of the time at both day and night times over the weekdays and weekends. Pets’ safety is always my priority. I live in a gated apartment that has two dog parks. There are also plenty of dog waste bag stations and trash cans around the apartment. I’m a very active person and go to the gym four times a week for strength training. I also love hiking and walking, so I genuinely enjoy taking dogs out for walks.

“Reinaldo has been a great help walking my dog. He’s always on time and keep accurate and timely communication if there is a conflict in the schedule. He also take great photos for my dog during walk too. I am so grateful I found Reinaldo as my dog walker.”

“Summer was amazing! Summer, walked my dog for an hour each day over the course of a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention provided. Summer was communicative, and treated my dog with genuine kindness. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos—great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

About: I grew up in a house of Akitas and a Shih Tzu — four pounds of opinion and eighty pounds of stubborn under one roof. I’m also the friend people hand the leash to: the Frenchie who overheats, the Corgi with short legs and long ambitions, the Husky and the Aussie who need a walk that actually burns something. Twenty years around dogs has taught me the ones people call “difficult” are usually just misunderstood. I know how to read the buildup before a reaction and create space instead of yanking. I’m comfortable with medication schedules too — that’s just part of a routine. Your dog gets someone who’s calm when things get loud, and you get honest updates about how it actually went. tl;dr Paws what you’re doing —and hire me :) Dogs are already part of my daily routine, so adding yours doesn’t mean rearranging anything. I work full-time but my schedule is flexible, which puts me right where most owners need someone — early mornings before the day starts, and midday, when your dog has been alone for hours and is doing that thing by the door. Those are my hours, they’re consistent, and I’m not squeezing you into a gap and hoping it holds. Book me for a regular slot and it becomes part of the rhythm for both of us. Same time, same reliability, every week. I work in your home only, and I leave it exactly as I found it. Walks follow the routine you’ve already set — your gear, your rules, your route, and I want to hear about triggers up front if your dog is reactive. Drop-ins mean potty, fresh water, food or meds on schedule, and real time on the floor with them. Every visit ends with locks checked and a message telling you honestly how it went, photo included.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand their different personalities, walking habits, and needs. I always prioritize their safety and comfort by bringing water on walks, choosing shaded routes or grassy areas when it’s hot to protect their paws, and letting them stop to sniff and explore—because walks should be enjoyable, not just exercise! You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable walks throughout the week. I make sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and pace that’s right for them while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I tailor each walk to the individual dog, paying attention to their energy level, personality, and comfort. I’m patient and attentive throughout the walk, allowing them time to explore and enjoy themselves while keeping them safe and under control.

About: I cared for my two Chihuahuas for over 17 years, from when they were babies to their senior years. In 2022, we said goodbye and sent them to Rainbow Bridge. Since then, I have been a dog sitter for my friends, caring for their babies with the same love and dedication, while prioritizing safety and careful supervision at all times. I also completed a Veterinary Assistant program, which helps me better understand senior care and medication support. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment, I only care for one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I stay home full time and try to minimize alone time as much as possible. I understand that being away from family can feel stressful for some dogs, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I stay with dogs overnight so they don't feel alone. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel reassured while you are away. We live in a house with a patio in a quiet neighborhood. I take them for walks around the neighborhood several times a day and always make sure they are wearing secure leashes. Our home environment is calm and structured to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. My husband and two teenage sons also love dogs and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful with them.

About: I cared for my own dog from puppyhood into adulthood and have also looked after and walked dogs for family members. I make every walk safe, comfortable, and enjoyable, giving pets the same love and attention I’d give my own. I have a full-time hybrid work schedule that allows me the flexibility to care for pets during my free time. This makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, and quality time. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes fresh food and water, walks or playtime, and plenty of affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and safe.

“Appreciate that David came and met Bodie prior to the evening when he took care of him. After we returned from our night out, Bodie was happy to see us, having been fed and walked. Thanks to David.”

About: Dogs have always been an important part of our family, and caring for them comes naturally to us. We especially enjoy looking after small and medium-sized companion breeds such as Toy Poodles, Maltipoos, Cavapoos, Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Yorkies, Havanese, Shih Tzus, and similar breeds. Every dog receives individual attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, affection, and a calm, clean environment. We follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep my schedule organized so each dog receives personalized care and a relaxed home environment. Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, quiet, smoke-free home where pets are treated like family. Fresh water is always available, feeding instructions are carefully followed, and I can administer medications if needed. I send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing your dog is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
