Dog Walking The Colony

“Aivy is always so good with my baby . She has a very calm and relaxing demeanor which helps Athena. I love all the pictures and updates I get while she is there. I highly recommend Aivy!”

“Sarah is truly great! Upon meeting her, the dog instantly took a liking to her (and the cat did not take off under the bed). She quickly jumped in and has been a blessing as she comes in and gives the dog a potty break and a chance to stretch her legs/burn off some energy. My puppy is a giant breed so her playful mess can be "a lot." Her photos of their walk and the time she takes to love on the cat are a bright spot in my work day. And best of all, I don't worry about my girls while I'm away.”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats that I love dearly! I’ve personally been taking care of my own pets since I was 20 I’m currently working part time so I love utilizing my extra time giving all your fur babies extra attention and pets along with a good walk! I love letting our pets have the freedom to roam around the house safely so they don’t feel confined but I do have a pet gate in case animals need to be separated or want some rest from other furry friends

“Christine is great. So pleasant to visit with. Took pics. Showed up when expected. She’s the only person I’ve ever trusted with my deaf senior dog.”

About: I personally have had a service dog from the military, I had a major hand in his training as I training professionally in the navy with substance dogs. I love working with them, cuddles are necessary always, and just making sure they have what they need! I have a very flexible job in sales so my availability is very open. Dogs need a lot of care and I’m willing to make the time for them. I spoil and care for my own dog with the most upright care. She’s a spoiled baby and she loves her cat sisters and brother. I have more water bowls than one needs and treats always available

“We absolutely love Alpa! She is wonderful. Have booked her several times, and she is always prompt and great with our pup. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had a dog in my life from the age of 4! I was a dog mom of an Akita for 12 years and he was behavior trained and house trained by me. I am also certified in K9 CPR. I love all dogs and you can rely on me to treat your furry companion as my own. From walks to bath time I will handle all your needs. I currently work from home so I have ample time to care for your pets as it fits their schedule you have for them! I am also a mom of a 5 year old so love, care and cleaning up are my specialties. I live in an apartment but we have tons of grassy areas on the grounds, a pond with a walking path right outside my door as well as a park within a 2 min walk. I also have dog toys, CPR Kit and bathing essentials stocked for all your fur baby needs!

“Thank you so much Aubrey. I wanted to ask if you had any issues and if you would be comfortable walking or drop in visits in the future?”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was younger. I have 10+ years of experience when it comes to dog sitting and house sitting. I always make sure to accompany the pet as often as possible so that they feel cared for and less anxious being away from their owner. I aim to provide the best service and care for pets. I am able to care for your pets or stay overnight any day of the week. My girlfriend who is also verified on Rover helps me with my dog sitting jobs. Thank you! In a client’s home, I can feed, walk, and entertain your pet as needed. I can make sure they have water and food available before I leave to work and I can also put the pet in a crate if the owner asks.

“I live on the opposite side of town, but when I'm travelling, I deliberately drive all the way over here because I want to leave my dog in Chloe's care. She's super reliable, does everything I need done for the dog, and my dog loves her. I have a lot of anxieties about leaving my dog with other people because she can be difficult, but I feel absolutely at ease whenever Chloe is taking care of her.”

About: I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 💕 I work from home, so I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I treat every pet like family and follow their routine closely. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a newly renovated dog park, perfect for walks, playtime, and plenty of fun!

About: This is Xueting and Hongbaoyan, we have been lived in Columbus, Ohio for 8 years and just moved to Plano, Texas in 2022! We have taken care of various dogs for our families and have always been living around dogs. Five years ago my husband and I got our own dog Moka and we were so excited! We learned thoroughly on how to train a puppy to do potty training as well as many simple tricks. We also helped our friends when they first got their pets, and now we decided to extend our service to you and your lovely pet! We normally walk dogs 3 - 4 times everyday, regardless good or bad weather. We will follow your feeding instructions strictly and try our best to accommodate your schedule. And we’d also love to take them out for a drive, hiking or plan something fun during the weekends, of course with your permission! We send ton of pictures and videos daily to update you how your baby is doing at our place, so that you can feel comfortable during vacation or travel! We live in a house and have a large balcony with plenty of room. We usually allow dogs on sofa and other furniture, and we can crate them if you ask. We have a five years old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Moka, and he is super friendly with all people and all kinds of dogs. He is very playful and never barks. He would love to meet some new friends and keep your dog company! I’m working from home on a rotational basis so I have plenty of time taking care of your pet! We will provide a lot of cuddles and will never leave your pet alone for more than 1 hour anytime during the day. We prefer weekends boarding so that we can have many fun activities with your dog. We have crate in our house in case there is a need to separate dogs. And we pay close attention to the dogs when they interact with each other to make sure they play gently. We follow the care instructions strictly and respect anything you would do for your pet.

About: I grew up on a farm caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, bunnies, pigs, cows, horses, and more. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, not just a hobby. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respect different temperaments, and provide consistent, responsible care. I have extensive hands on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, from playful puppies to calm seniors. Over the years, I have helped with walking, feeding, administering medications, teeth brushing, light grooming, and basic training using positive reinforcement. Friends and family regularly trust me as their go to sitter because I prioritize safety, structure, and attentive care. I live in a quiet apartment with my partner and our dog, Koda, a mini dachshund born in 2021. There are no kids in the home. Koda is friendly, social, and ready to have a fur friend around. He is allowed on furniture and sleeps in bed with my partner and me, and visiting dogs are welcome to do the same if that matches their routine at home. Koda is taken out for potty breaks and walks more than three times a day and is fed three times a day, and I follow the same level of care and consistency for visiting pups. I am happy to stick to your dog’s existing feeding, walking, and sleep schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I work from home Wednesday through Friday and am fully available those days, as well as most weekends. I am in office Mondays and Tuesdays and unavailable those days, which is reflected in my schedule. When I step out briefly, dogs are safely crated, and I return within a reasonable amount of time to let both your pup and my own out. During boarding stays, dogs enjoy structured walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment based on their energy level and preferences. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and predictable environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Dogs spend most of their time indoors with me in a clean, well maintained apartment, with plenty of outdoor time for walks and fresh air. I do require dogs to be crate trained, as crates are used for safety during rest periods or brief outings. I believe owners know their dogs best, so I always welcome detailed notes about routines, preferences, and anything that helps your dog feel at home. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you are away. Requirements for boarding with me: • Dogs must be crate trained • Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, proof required • Dogs must be on flea and heartworm prevention • Dogs new to boarding in a home with another dog may require a meet and greet I work from home Wednesdays through Fridays and am fully available those days to provide attentive, consistent care. I am typically home on weekends as well and available for boarding during that time. I work in office on Mondays and Tuesdays and am unavailable those days, which is reflected in my Rover calendar. When I do step out briefly on evenings or weekends, dogs are safely crated and I always return within a reasonable amount of time to let both your pup and my own out. If my availability changes, my Rover schedule will always be kept up to date so you know exactly when I am available. I live in a clean, quiet apartment with my partner and our miniature dachshund, Koda, born in 2021. There are no kids in the home. Dogs are treated as part of the family and are allowed on furniture and in the bed if that matches their routine at home. Safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely supervise all interactions. Dogs are never left unattended with unfamiliar pets, and I take time to ensure proper introductions and comfort levels. I follow each dog’s individual routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and rest. Dogs are taken out multiple times a day and receive regular exercise and mental enrichment. When I step out briefly, dogs are safely crated for their comfort and security. I am very communicative and happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident and informed while your pet is in my care.

About: I have had a dog all my life so I have plently of experience with them. I miss my dog so let me hang out with yours! I work a full-time corporate job, but my evenings and weekends are pretty open. I also have experience house-sitting, so I’m happy to help with drop-ins, dog walks on the weekends, or house-sitting during the week or on weekends. I have a flexible schedule outside of work and would love to help care for your pets! I enjoy playing with your pets and giving them all the attention they want! I don't mind taking them on a walk or playing fetch. Whichever the pet wants, the pet gets.

About: I have two cats of my own so I understand how important it is that you have peace of mind when you leave your babies while you travel. I will make your pets my priority and do everything I can to make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you are gone. I work as a software engineer on a hybrid schedule. I can work around my work schedule to drop in for your pets during your expected time and do my best to be available for your pet’s needs. I have two cats of my own so I understand the worry and concern you feel for your pets when you travel. I will always make sure to drop in on your pets during the expected times and spend quality time with them. I will send you lots of pictures and stay in constant communication with you so you know your pet is healthy, happy and safe

About: Hi! I’m Vincent, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog dad to two dogs. One is 14 and the other is 7. Caring for them every day has taught me how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure each dog gets the attention they deserve. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe and at home while you’re away. I’m dependable, organized, and treat every dog as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to match their routine and make their stay as stress-free as possible I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work, as well as on evenings and weekends. Caring for my own two dogs is already part of my daily routine, so adding walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention for your pet fits naturally into my day. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before each stay. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and shared with my two friendly small dogs who are used to being around other pets. I supervise introductions carefully and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates while you’re away.

About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life — not as a job I picked up recently, but as something I've always done. I currently share my home with my own dachshund, so I understand firsthand what it takes to care for small and medium breeds: the extra patience, the gentler handling, and the little quirks that make each dog different. Over the years I've also lived with and cared for larger breeds such as Pit Bulls and Boxers as well as cats, so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households too. Because I have a Dachshund myself, (His name is Sheldon Cooper) I’m especially mindful of things a lot of sitters overlook — like being careful with jumping on and off furniture, watching for signs of back strain, and giving short-legged dogs the extra support they sometimes need. I also have real success with puppies specifically: house training, crate training, and early socialization aren't just things I've read about — I've done them, and I'm comfortable with the energy (and occasional chaos) that comes with a young dog. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. so whether you need a quick midday check-in or a full day of companionship while you're away, I can flex to what your pet actually needs. When I care for your pet, I treat them exactly how I'd want mine treated: with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. You'll get real updates, careful attention to routines, and a sitter who enjoys the time spent with your animal — not just someone checking a box. At the end of the day, your pet won't just be "watched" — they'll be loved like one of my own. I look forward to giving your pet the same warmth, attention, and love I'd want for my Sheldon. I'm available full-time, all 7 days of the week, for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether you need regular ongoing care, a last-minute booking, or something on a weekend or holiday, I'm flexible and ready to work around your schedule — your pet's routine won't have to change just because you're away. When I'm caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want for my own — I follow your pet's normal routine exactly as you leave it, from feeding times to walks to any specific instructions you give me. Doors and gates stay locked or secured at all times, I don't allow off-leash time unless you've told me it's safe to, and I keep a close eye out for anything that seems off with your pet's health or behavior. You'll get regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going, and I treat your home itself with care — nothing is touched or used beyond what's needed for your pet's visit.

“Ingrid has been walking Karma for the last month and it’s been a source of comfort while at work knowing she is taken care of. She keeps me up to date with pics and progress made walking on a lead. She is quick to respond and accommodating with requests for Karma’s care. We will definitely miss her when we leave Dallas but will certainly book when we return! We appreciate you Ingrid:)”
