Dog Walking Sterling

About: I treat every pet like family. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm not just here to check a box—I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure their tails keep wagging! Whether it’s going the extra mile for a nervous pup or making sure a senior pet gets their meds on time, I show up with care, patience, and a big heart. You'll get regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Over the summer we have 24/7 care in our home. Once school starts I will only be available weekends, however I do have other people in my home to accommodate requests as needed. I have a fenced in yard and space for a crate in my home. I work to make sure the environment is clean and suits the needs of your pet.

About: Hi there! I'm Danae - Your Pet's New Best Friend 🐾 Animals have always held a special place in my heart. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry companions, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving to look after your pet. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just some comforting company while you're away, I'm here to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide personalized, safe, and loving care – just like they’d get at home. I'm also comfortable administering medication, handling special diets, and supporting pets with unique needs. If you need a weekly schedule I would be more than happy to find a time that works for both me and your fur baby! I have two dogs who love to run around and play. I'd prefer to stay at the customers house to take care of the dog.

About: multiple years in animal shelter care, experience as a veterinarian assistant, aspiring veterinary student wide variety of experience: puppies - senior care, as well as experience with fearful/reactive animals As of now, I would be able to walk or drop in on dogs as needed. I am a student having summers off, which makes my schedule flexible. I understand that our animals may feel more comfortable in their own home. Unfortunately, my own pets don’t allow for play dates at my house. I am more than willing to spend time with your pups in the comfort of your own home.

About: for the past 20 years, I've trained and exercised my own dogs while being available for friends and clients to care for their pets while they're away.

If I know far enough ahead of time, I can easily be available to visit a pet client. Because of both size of my house and the needs of my own dogs, I will not be available to keep dogs in my own home.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Neighbors and family have relied on me to walk and feed their beloved pets.

Will follow owner instructions as they know their pet the best. I will treat your pet with the same love as I treat my dog.

About: I'm a Vet Tech who has been caring for animals for a very long time and have tons of experience. Not only do I have knowledge on animals, but I also have a strong passion and love for all of them! Spending time with animals, walks, and play time is very important for pets, so i'm very pleased and willing to help owners out with needs. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I am very flexible and willing to work with you. I look forwards to hearing from you and getting the chance to be a part of your pets life! Any size, any energy level, any issues, I've seen it all, so please do not be hesitant when reaching out. My boyfriend and I also enjoy doing this together and work around each others schedules and take turns with visits or usually go together for new clients. I currently work full time so I prefer to do in home pet sitting when needed. I have many previous experiences doing this and feel the pets are more comfortable this way. Pet safety is extremely important whether making sure they are staying within a fenced in yard or being walked outside properly on a leash. I do my very best to ensure safety.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals for some time now whether it be lizards, cats, dogs, or fish. Family and friends could always put their trust in me when I take care of their pets. I own a cat so I take care of him daily, feed him twice a day, give him toys, bathe him ever so often (depending if he goes outside), brush him because he has long fur. So he fits right in with my schedule and I give him cuddles all the time! I care for my pet everyday! I feed him twice a day ( morning and night) maybe a few treats, I’ll bathe him when needed but not too often cause it hurts their fur coat, clip his nails when needed, brush him just about everyday. I will especially give him cuddles whenever I see him!

About: I've had many cats through the years. Currently have 5 of my own including 2 sphynx. I have sadly lost a few cats over the years and I've had to take care of my sick babies so I'm not afraid to take care of sick pets or give medicine as needed. Currently I have to give one of my own cats medicine every other day for his asthma. I'm just a animal lover. Most animals like me. I've also had a couple of dogs over the years but don't currently have any but I love them. I love walking them and playing with them. I'm so looking forward to taking care of your fur babies. 😊 I work full time in Freeport but get an hour break so am available for 30 min walks or drop ins during that time. Also am available after work and most weekends. I clean litter boxes every couple of days and play with my cats daily. Make sure they always have food and water. Wet food in the morning and sometimes treats. Walks too of course. I make sure they get all the love and attention they want and need.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Starting at a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and cleaning up after our family dogs. By the time I was 15, I began caring for a neighbor’s dog whenever they were out of town, building early experience in pet sitting and responsibility. Today, I’m 24 with dogs of my own, including one with medical needs, so I’m familiar with administering medication and maintaining a consistent care routine. In the summer of 2024, I even raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of socialization. From bathing and grooming to staying active with my pack, caring for dogs is a daily part of my life and something I’m deeply passionate about. Although I work full time during the week, my evenings are dedicated to spending quality time with my dogs. We enjoy walking, playing, and relaxing together. I’m also off on weekends, which gives me the perfect opportunity to help others who may be busy or working by making sure their dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I’m happy to offer weekend availability and evening flexibility to support both pets and their owners. I live on a spacious 2 acre property with a securely fenced in section of the yard dedicated to the dogs. The backyard is enclosed with three gates, each equipped with locks to ensure safety and prevent any clever pups from nudging them open. This setup provides a safe, open space for dogs to play, explore, and relax while giving owners peace of mind.

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

“Very communicative ahead of the first walk!”
