Dog Walking The Woods

“Emily is friendly and dependable! She has taken great care of our puppy and we are so happy we found her! We love seeing the comments and pictures she sends for each walk!”

“My pup loves her walks with Maureen. Maureen communicates clearly and often, is very responsive, and most importantly really loves dogs! She was reliable and willing to come meet my dog before taking the job. We will definitely be asking her to walk my dog again!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Recently, I've looked after British Cocker Spaniels and Rottweilers, and I'm currently a proud cat parent to two wonderful felines who require daily medication—so I'm fully comfortable administering oral meds with care and patience. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's feeding them, changing litter, going for walks, or simply offering companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I can drop in for walks, providing food and medication and spend time with them. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, whether it’s walks, mealtime, play sessions, or quiet companionship. I build in time for check-ins, grooming, and any special needs like medication. I also make space in my visits for updates to pet parents like photos, notes, or quick messages, so they feel connected and reassured. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit in; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I make sure their routine stays familiar in terms of meals, walks, playtime, and rest all happen on schedule. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with toys, soft bedding, and plenty of room to explore or relax. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual environment and habits. I also keep the home tidy, respect boundaries, and send regular updates so owners feel confident and connected. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, loved, and well cared for, just like family.

“Brenda is wonderful! Pepper instantly trusted and loved her! Brenda is prompt and excellent at communicating. How lucky are we that we found Peppers new best friend?!”

“Daniel was amazing! We needed someone who has a lot of experience and could confidently care for multiple 40-50 lb dogs with various medical and anxiety/behavioral needs. Daniel was impressive! He took a good amount of time to meet with us and learn our dogs habits, personalities and quirks, and the commands we use with them. He had no issues walking our 3 dogs together, acknowledging them and giving them treats along the way. The dogs were very comfortable with Daniel, happy with thier walk, and responded well to his commands. My rescue dog who is wary of strangers even gave him kisses after their walk. On the 2nd walk, the dogs got very barky and excited when Daniel arrived and he was calm and confident and got them settled down and leashed with ease. We've had many pet sitters over the years and Daniel shines above all of them. His communication skills are excellent, he actively listens, very observant, understands the dogs, and overall seems like a natural who "knows what to do" to provide excellent care of our pets.”

About: I grew up with three black cats that I helped take care of with my mom and now I’m a mom to my own Torti. I also help out with my grandma’s dog from time to time. I’m a patient person who doesn’t mind letting a dog lick my face. My full time job is currently up in the air so I have all the time to come over and make sure your pet is doing great and help them with their needs. For my own cat I check her food, water, and litter daily and give her lots of cuddles. I make sure she has access to everything she needs. In my home I have litter boxes on the top and bottom floors with food and water on the main floor. I have plenty of toys and scratchers on every level. I want to make sure my pet and yours have everything they need and access to their needs at all times.

“Penny was easy to work with and took great care of our dogs. She was very responsive and took extra care with Evie. We’re grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”

About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.

“Nicole was awesome, communicative, responded promptly, and just generally did a fantastic job with Max despite having to walk him over a bad heat wave and a busy holiday weekend!”

About: I’ve cared for my own pets since I was little, so I’m experienced with providing animals with love, attention, exercise, feeding, and daily care. I also regularly watch friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pets. I’m able to balance my work schedule while still making sure the pups get plenty of attention, exercise, and love! I always keep a close eye on dogs when they’re outside and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. During hot weather, I’m especially mindful of how long they stay outside, making sure they have plenty of fresh water, shade, and time to cool down. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise while also knowing when it’s time to come inside and rest. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority.

“My dog loves Ann. She does an amazing job with him!!”

About: Hi! My name is Kaylee and I would love to spend time with your furry babies! Message me with questions about days I have open availability in the mornings! Growing up taking care of dogs made me realize how special the bond can be between you and any furry friend. I have experience in my daily profession working as a dog bather and in a doggy daycare! I love making friends with all of them and making sure they're all taken care of like family. During your dogs adventure with me I'd like to make the experience the most comfortable and enjoyable for them as possible. Additional services such as nail trimming, trail hiking, adventures and training sessions can all be included as well! All pets must be completely up to date on rabies, bordetella and distemper vaccinations and documentation must be presented. The safety of your pet is my top priority! Full shot series proof required. I have a very friendly fur baby of my own so even on days that I work I find it essential to make sure he gets plenty of exercise for the day. We love to hike, go swimming, go to the dog park and run around together, and we both would enjoy having some extra company along the way! At home, we have tons of cuddles and love to give. We go on walks often and many other adventures. For example, the dog park, hikes, bike rides, runs (etc). I can give baths too but am still saving up for some supplies needed to properly bathe long coated dogs (we’d have to do some sun bathing to get dry!) I regular clip nails, so if you’re interested we can include that too. In terms of dog sitting, I’d love to include all of the same activities, with any accommodations needed!

“Sydnie has been great with my puppy on their walks. I trust she's in great hands and is getting some much needed walking while I'm at work. I will definitely use her again and recommend her for your doggy care needs!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs, and many of my family members have dogs that I regularly help care for. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines! I have always had a natural connection with animals, and dogs especially tend to warm up to me very quickly! I am patient, attentive, and love getting to know each pets unique personality! My schedule is very flexible since I currently work banquet events on as as-needed basis. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care and work around your pets routine. I'm able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and drop in visits! I'll also have my schedule over a week in advance and I will be sure to communicate with you ahead of time to make sure I can provide the care your pet needs! I provide pet care in my clients' homes where pets can stay in their own familiar environment. I will follow your instructions and your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications ( if needed ), and any other specific care they require. I'm respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are secure. Your pet's safety and well being are my top priorities, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away!

As you choose my services, you can trust that your furry companion will receive the love and attention they deserve and that you'll always be in the loop about their care. I currently have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur baby. I do take same-day visits, however, please note I will not always be available due to my work schedule. Rest assured the fur baby will always be played with and snuggled from time to time. Do let me know if they have a restricted schedule. I normally help with refreshing my clients dogs water bowl at every meal, take them out to use the restroom, and play with them. If there are set guidelines, a printed form of the steps would be highly suggested. In addition, you always will be communicated.

“Joe and Laurie are awesome! They take such great care of our dogs and send lots of photos to let us know how happy the dogs are! Thank you, Joe and Laurie!”
