Dog Walking The Colony

About: I started petsitting for friends while they went on vacation. I have experience caring for multiple dogs. My "regulars" are four dogs for about two weeks at a time, and also pet sit for friends with three, two, and one dog. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medicine, and following each pet’s normal routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and I am available most days, including weekdays. Happy to work with you and your pet's usual routine 🙂 I follow pets usual routines and any instructions from their owners. I make sure they’re supervised and comfortable. I want everyone to feel at ease.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and love all animals, my dad had a dog business and we had all kinds of pets at home! Though I can't have a pet in my apartment, I enjoy caring for others' furry friends. I offer reliable dog walking, in-home check-ins, and pet sitting for small to medium dogs and cats, treating each pet like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment, I focus on caring for them in my clients’ homes. I follow their routines closely, provide plenty of attention and play time, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away.

“I booked Jessica to walk my dog Max. They could not be a more perfect match. They are both very active and she is very attentive. She kept track of potty breaks and provided pictures. Thank you Jessica, I will definitely be using her services again!”

“I booked with Aidee for 2 walks/day for 3 days while out of town. She was easy to communicate with and responsive. She knew how to handle my two dogs that are medium/large size and tend to pull. She is reliable and followed instructions which gave me peace of mind. Will definitely rebook!”

“Lyndsey is such a lovely dog walker and care taker for dogs ! She treated my dog Beau as her own, and I always feel good leaving Beau when I go on vacation as I know he will get hair as much love fork Lyndsey !”

“I honestly can't say how amazing Maira was. I had to book her super last minute and she went above and beyond to make both me and my dogs feel comfortable with the process. Including I might add, needing to add a walk mid trip due to flight timing that she was able to book me for. The dogs were obviously happy, the rover cards she sent were informative, and I couldn't be happier. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and recommend her highly.”

“On time, professional, and very personable…Dakota was happy and excited after his walk. Will definitely continue to book Claudia for future walks or daycare in the future.”

“Ariel was prompt and kind.”

“If I could give Benjamin extra stars, I would. He’s so patient with our reactive dog and has great energy. We’re so grateful to have found him to watch and walk our pups.”

“Alex is an excellent communicator, and most importantly, my anxious dog LOVED her!”

About: I currently work at a veterinary hospital and at a doggy daycare. I’m in charge of watching, playing, feeding, walking, medicating, and bathing many dogs. I have learned to act quick on my feet while still being proactive. I am a vet tech student and work at a general practice veterinary hospital. I like to hang around dogs whenever I can. *If I don’t answer right away I’m probably working but I’m still available unless I text otherwise! I am easily trained so I can work around your dogs needs. I’m currently a student and a full time worker. I also have a dog of my own. Even during my free time I like to be around animals. I am glued to them 24/7. I like to feel secure so I am often just playing, resting, stimulating them the whole time I’m in the clients home or at my home.

About: I was raised with both dogs and cats and am used to having a pet filled household. I know the variety of personalities our pets can have and how best to interact with them based on that. I have sat for both cats and dogs previously and have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I have taken care of cats on a regular basis. I know the cuddle bugs and the ones that want to be left alone well. I have take care of a variety of dogs including a Chihuahua sized dog and a Great Pyrenees (120 lbs). I have dog sat 4 dogs for roughly 3 days before. Of the bunch, some just wanted to chill and one wanted to play fetch as much as possible. I have also taken care of pet medical care. Specifically, giving a dog twice daily pills and administering inhaler medicine for a cat. I am reliable, will communicate often, and love sending photos of how cute your pet is being! I am open to pet-sitting, pet check ins, and dog walks. I am currently flexible with scheduling but will need sufficient notice. I'm currently working part-time and am available to give your pets loving care. Mondays and Wednesday I am gone for over 6 hours in the morning. Otherwise, my schedule is currently flexible and I do have the ability to check in regularly or stay over. I will talk with you in detail to get to know your pets habits and routine. I will follow all instructions and review them regularly. My goals are to keep their routine as much the same as possible and give them extra attention.

About: I have been caring for dogs for about 12 years now. I am familiar taking care of small (chihuahuas and norfolk terriers) to large (german shepherd) breeds. I trained my dogs to sit, stay, lay down, bark, touch their nose with my hand, and stand in between my legs. Hello! I am currently a student but have extra time to walk/pop in and check on dogs. I love animals and enjoy going on walks so this is a 2 in 1! My place does not allow dogs but at home I make sure that my dogs are taken care of. I check up on them, feed them food with supplements and take them on walks. For client’s it is important to me for you to provide me with detailed descriptions of what/how you want me to care for your pets!

About: Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I am officially certified in Pet CPR through the RECOVER Initiative—the evidence-based gold standard developed by veterinary emergency specialists. Lifelong pet lover specializing in patient, low-stress drop-in care for senior dogs and cats in the comfort of their home. I understand that aging pets need extra patience, steady footing, and a gentle, familiar routine rather than high-energy commotion. What to expect from my visits: • Senior Dog Care: Unhurried backyard let-outs, careful support with mobility/stairs, fresh water, and gentle, calm companionship. • Cat Visits: Quiet, boundary-respecting drop-ins, thorough litter box maintenance, and personalized feeding routines. • Weekday Walks (Small Dogs Only): Calm, one-on-one 30-minute neighborhood strolls for small pups (up to 15 lbs). Perfect for gentle midday exercise and potty breaks while you're at work. For safety and comfort, walks are strictly on standard leashes and secure harnesses. • Health & Details: Strict adherence to medication schedules, special diets, and precise owner instructions. • Peace of Mind: Punctual check-ins, home security vigilance, and detailed photo updates from every single visit. Pet care fits naturally into my flexible freelance schedule, meaning your pets get unhurried, focused attention during every visit. My Rover calendar is always kept up to date.  •Drop-In Visits (7 Days/Week): Morning, afternoon, and evening visits starting at 9:00 AM. Great for cats and dogs needing meals, medication, potty breaks, and company.  • Dog Walking (Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM): Calm midday neighborhood walks. Note: I specialize in small dogs (up to 15 lbs) on standard leashes and secure harnesses. Your home’s security and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities.  • Strictly follow feeding, fresh water, medication, and cleanup routines.  • Always double-check exterior doors, gates, and locks before leaving.  • Practice attentive outdoor safety: short leashes, checking pavement temperature, and steering clear of unfamiliar off-leash dogs.  • Every visit ends with a visual safety check, followed by detailed notes and photos for your peace of mind.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and grew up with three dogs, including larger breeds like German Shepherds and Pit Bulls, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs. I also cared for stray cats growing up because I always wanted cats of my own. Now I have two cats that I absolutely adore and treat like family. Friends and family have trusted me to help feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets over the years. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. I love getting outdoors, going on walks, and staying active, so dog walks and playtime are a win-win for me. Whether your pet needs cuddles, exercise, attention, or just someone dependable around, I’m happy to help and make them feel cared for while you’re away. Your furry family member’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll always treat them with patience, love, and care. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs of different sizes and personalities, including larger breeds. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and pet behavior to make sure they feel secure and happy. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for at all times.
