Dog Walking Sugarland Run

“Vinnie is a joy to work with. Very responsible and on top of the schedule and details. Very flexible when our days need to shift. And, our two medium sized doggos do great on their walk and playtime in the yard!”

About: I have had several dogs but do not currently have any pets. I have had to give medicine to dogs and lots of experience with puppy “accidents”. I’m a teacher, so during summer and breaks I have lots of free time. I have two boys, both of whom love animals. They would love to have a pet visit our home. I can only house-sit when I don’t have my children with me, but can board an animal anytime. Important to note that during the school year my Friday availability is evening only. I have a fenced yard. At my home, I can almost guarantee your dog or cat would get to sleep in a child’s bed and be loved like family. At your home, I would respect any rules you have set.

“Irina is the best, she took such great care of our puppy and was very reliable! We’ll definitely book her again!”

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was a military-brat in Wiesbaden, Germany. I’ve continued to pet-sit and walk dogs off and on since moving to Nova in 2011. I’ve grown up mostly around dogs, but am just as fond of cats. I’ve also been in the childcare field for many years, from being a private nanny, to working as a Lead Teacher at a daycare. I’m good at staying calm in stressful situations, and always try my best to make others feel comfortable. My favorite thing about pet sitting is getting to see the big personalities people’s pets have. Throughout my years of pet sitting I’ve cared for everything from multiple Great Danes at once, houses full of cats, dogs , saltwater fish (and even shrimp). I’ve also got experience caring for senior dogs & puppies. I am currently transitioning out of childcare, and am looking forward to filling my weeks with more walks, drop-ins, and sits! I’m usually available for walks mornings-afternoons. I always make sure to treat my clients spaces with respect and leave their homes as clean, or even tidier, than I came to them. I like to send updates (pics, videos, and messages) throughout my services. I prefer open communication, and am not afraid to ask questions if it helps my clients and myself have a safer and more comfortable experience.

“Thank you again for being there for our dogs. It is great how excited they are to see you.”

“Olga is so attentive and responsive. Georgie loves walking with her!”

“I had my son’s wedding and was desperately looking for someone to come let my 2 dogs out both weekend days. One of my dogs can be particular who she lets in the house. From the first minute Skylar came in the house Maddie liked him & never hesitated to go for her walk. Skylar seemed to know exactly how to connect with her. Skylar was very flexible when our times changed a few times when i needed him to come feed and let out the dogs. Because I knew the dogs were in good hands it allowed me to enjoy the wedding without worrying. I am going to continue to use him in the future for dog walks & drop ins. I highly recommend Skylar for any pet needs you have.”

About: What sets me apart is my mix of reliability, attention to detail, and thoughtful, structured care. I make sure your pets needs are met while maintaining a calm, stable environment that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies (with structured play and basic training reinforcement) and senior pets (gentle walks, medication, and extra patience). I’m detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and communicate consistently with updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, mid-days, evenings, and weekends. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care while maintaining a realistic routine that supports their well-being. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, and preferences — while also ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest.

“Cliff took such wonderful care of my dog, Lonnie! He was professional and responsive. I could relax while on vacation knowing that Lonnie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Cliff again!”

About: I have always had dogs in my life from family dogs to favorite neighborhood dogs. After adopting our dog Rory in 2022, I came to truly understand the dedication that goes into caring for a dog and the many benefits of having such a wonderful companion. I am committed to bringing the same patience and attention to every pup I care for. I am experienced with separation anxiety and know the importance of being sure your dog feels safe and secure while you are out. I have the summers off so am able to care for dogs throughout the week and weekend. During the school year I am available on weekends and some holidays. I strive to build a trusting relationship with all dogs I interact with. I like to incorporate “sniffy” walks to allow dogs a chance to explore and engage their senses.

“Amazing dog walker! She was reliable, professional, and took great care of my dogs. They absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would hire her again anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!”

“Great walker. My dog accepted Sarah right away.”

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life. There were always at least two big dogs in our house, and I've been caring for friends' and neighbors' cats since high school. These days I share my home with a rescue cat of my own. I have years of experience with high-energy dogs who need a lot of exercise and with senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra care, and I'm just as comfortable with big, strong dogs as small ones. I treat every pet like my own and bring reliability and attention to detail to every stay. You'll get a clear routine, honest communication, and regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I follow your instructions on food, meds, and quirks, and I notice small changes in appetite or behavior worth flagging. I'm also very active, so energetic pups get the exercise they need. Long walks, runs, and real playtime are part of my day, and your dog will come home happy and tired. Puppies and kittens get patience and gentle, reward-based redirection, and older pets get a calm stay at their own pace. I'm happy to do a meet and greet before your trip. Your pet's safety and comfort come first. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily work around pet visits and give your pet consistent, unhurried care. I'm available for morning, midday, and evening visits, which means I can stick to your pet's usual feeding, walk, and potty times instead of squeezing them in around a full workday. I'm also flexible on short notice and for last-minute changes to your plans. Pets are a natural part of my day. I'm active and outdoors a lot, so walks, runs, and playtime fit right into my routine, and there's no rushing out the door. If you're traveling or working long hours, you can count on me to show up on time, take the visit seriously, and send you an update so you know how it went. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their day as close to normal as possible. Before the stay, I'll ask about feeding times, portions, medications, walk routines, favorite toys, and any quirks or fears, then stick to that routine so your pet feels settled. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so we can all get comfortable. Dogs get plenty of exercise and attention, with walks, runs, and playtime built into every day, plus potty breaks on their usual schedule. Cats get a quiet, low-stress space, daily litter scooping, fresh water, and playtime and cuddles on their terms. I keep a close eye on appetite, energy, and bathroom habits, and I'll let you know right away if anything seems off. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you can see your pet is happy and doing well.

About: I’m a teacher who is looking forward to working with pets! I have had my own dog for 10+ years and have taken care of other dogs as well! Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am also an active dog sitter who lives near Algonkian Park! During the academic school year my availability is a little different, but my summer schedule is very flexible. I love spending time with my own dog and will take her out during various parts of the day if the weather allows. I firmly believe that pets are such important members of the family and giving them all the care and love is priority! When I care for pets, I make sure they are fed, taken outside on their daily walks and have some fun! When going on a walk, I make sure to carry a water, portable water bowl, bags and treats. I also check the temperature and make sure the heat index has not surpassed the recommended temperature for walking dogs. When feeding pets, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule and the amount recommended by their owner. I also check with the dog owner, if the pets have any allergies, medication or other health concerns. I ensure a safe, loving and welcoming space for each pet. My summer days are super flexible. I am also open to do super early walks, or late check-ins for dogs. My schedule during the day is open. I’m also available to housesit during the weekends. I try to update my calendar every two weeks. I treat any pet as my own pet. I ensure that they are comfortable, that they are fed, that they are also having fun and they feel safe. I know changes can sometimes cause pets to become anxious, and I want to ensure that while their human goes on trips, or is away, they are feeling like they are taken care of and feel safe!

“This was the first time Brooke walked my dog - and I will definitely request her again. She was prompt, flexible, very friendly - and my dog immediately took to her. Thanks, Brooke!”

About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I can stop by after work or stay overnight during the week. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.
