Dog Walking Todds Tavern

About: My wife Sherry and I have had pets for the last 31 years of marriage. We know how important it is to find a responsible and trusting person to take care of your pets while you're away. Let us take care of your precious pets and we will treat them like our own. You can have them hosted in our house or we can make drop in visits at yours. We live in a secluded area with a large yard which your pets will enjoy. I'm an IT professional and my wife stays home so there is always someone looking after your pets. We'll take the stress away from you while you are away from your pets by treating them like our own. I work full time but my wife Sherry is home all day. We are a team a she will look after the pets during the day and we both will take care of them at night. We currently don't have any dogs since we recently lost our little old man Monty. We have one indoor/outdoor cat named Creature which is very friendly. We have a large back yard which is not fenced but we can take them out on a leash or tie them up on a lead an supervise them. Our property is secluded and is not close to a road so, there is no danger from traffic.

“Hailey is Great. She pays close attention and Jackson enjoys his walks when I’m away at work.”

“I highly recommend Autumn as a dog walker! She has been walking our German Shepherd, Boaz, and her care and dedication are exceptional. Autumn is not only punctual and reliable, but she also takes the time to understand Boaz’s needs and personality. Each walk is filled with engaging activities that keep him active and happy. Boaz always returns home content and well-exercised, which is a testament to Autumn's skills. Her friendly demeanor and genuine love for dogs make her a standout choice. If you're looking for a trustworthy and passionate dog walker, Autumn is the perfect fit!”

“Cory was great with my dog, who can be difficult and high energy. He sent plenty of pictures and updates during the visit. I highly recommend him - especially if you are looking for someone that will be patient with your pet!”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young. I currently have four furry friends and it is a joy to be with them! I enjoy all activities that I do with them and try to make each one memorable! I am currently available for most if not all days of the week. (except when on vacation :) ). I usually get up pretty earlier, around 6/6:30 so if any early risers need some help, I'm your gal! Just reach out and we can find the times and days that work best for both of us! I will be able to watch out for your dogs and they are in safe hands. Whatever routine you want them on, I will uphold that to make sure our furry friend are not thrown into a funk!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

“Caden is phenomenal! We appreciate her so much! She is kind, prompt and always communicates. My dog loves to see her coming and hates to watch her leave.”

“Michelle is great with dog. Coco has already warmed up to her.”

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

About: Hi there! 🐾 With over 10 years of equine handling experience and many years of dog and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great pet care goes beyond simply being present, it’s about being observant, consistent, and reliable. I take pride in providing calm, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and individual personalities, and I believe patience and consistency make all the difference in helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I value clear, open communication and always make it a priority to keep owners informed and at ease. From daily visits to extended stays, my goal is to provide a dependable, low-stress experience for both pets and their people. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’d be honored to care for your pets and farm animals alike. Rates are not set in stone, I am happy to work with you to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. This flexibility gives me the ability to provide consistent, attentive care, accommodate a variety of routines, and spend meaningful, unhurried time with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very mindful of both the animals and the space they live in. I approach each visit with a safety-first mindset, taking care to secure doors, gates, and feeding areas, and to follow all instructions exactly as given. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior or environment and respond calmly and responsibly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home, and I treat that responsibility with respect and professionalism. My goal is to provide a steady, reliable presence so pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and owners can feel confident knowing their home and animals are in careful hands.

“Leah is the best!! We have only had her walking for us for a very short time but she is without a doubt one of the best walkers we have ever had.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have been a proud dog owner since I was a young kid. I know exactly what it takes to keep a pup happy and healthy. In addition to raising my own dogs, I have extensive experience caring for others' pets. I regularly host family friends' dogs, have completed overnight house sittings (including 3+ night stays), and frequently manage dog walking schedules. Because my own dog at home prefers to be an 'only child,' I do not offer boarding at my house—meaning your dog gets 100% of my attention right in the comfort of their own familiar environment. (Please note: I do not care for cats due to allergies!). I am a recent college graduate spending my summer strictly focused on studying for my medical school entrance exams. Because my entire schedule consists of independent laptop study, I treat house sitting as my personal, quiet study retreat. Your dog will be my primary focus! I love using my study breaks to get outside, stretch my legs, and take your pup for long, refreshing walks. I am home for the vast majority of the day, making my schedule flexible and reliable. I know how important it is to feel secure leaving your home and pet in someone else's hands. I am clean, quiet, and extremely respectful of your space. While watching your pup, I follow their exact routine down to the letter to keep their stress levels low. I maintain an eagle-eye view on safety during walks, keeping dogs securely on-leash and away from unknown animals. Plus, I love sending regular photo and text updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away!

“Aiva is excellent and has good relationship with dogs.. she is timely and enjoys her work! Thank you so much for helping me and my husband out!! Julie Gibson”

About: As a dog owner myself I understand the level of trust required to leave your pet in a strangers care. I have been caring for dogs since I was a young teen and feel comfortable with a variety of different breads and temperaments. It can be hard knowing your dog is cooped up when you have a busy day. Let me help your pup get out and enjoy their day! I am currently available to help with your pup on Sundays starting as early as 6am. May be available on weekdays after 6pm depending on my schedule. I have a border collie whom my husband and I take to training, on regular walks, and socialize her downtown often. We reward her for good behavior and we're understanding of bad behavior, but quick to correct it. Dogs under my care are very well taken care of.

About: I’ve had experiences not only taking care of my own animals but also watching my friends and families pets. I’m able to walk for however long a pet needs and I’m able to remember when a pet needs to be taken out or fed. I’m also able to adapt easily if the pet has any conditions or disabilities that I need to accommodate to. I’m always available at any time whether it’s mornings or nights. I may have trips but whenever I’m home, I’m always looking for something to do. I always make sure they’re comfortable with me before petting then it playing, considering I never want to force anything. I make sure to feed them on time and take then out whenever it is needed. I also love walking my own dogs all the time.

“Jessica is very sweet and took the time to let our dog warm up to her. She took great care of our pup and kept us updated on the walk from when she got there until the end. We would definitely use her again for the future!”

“Tiffany has been a lifesaver for us just moving here. She Is patient and consistent with our dog helping him to adapt better. She spends time with him outside as well as inside making sure he has food and water before leaving.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for every animal I care for, no matter their age or needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets who require extra attention and gentle care. I’m confident in basic training techniques for young dogs, including crate training, potty routines, and leash manners. For older pets, I’m attentive to signs of discomfort, medication schedules, and providing a calm, comforting environment. I treat each pet like they’re my own and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize their needs as part of my routine. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure pets in my care receive consistent attention and affection throughout the day. Their well-being is always a top priority, and I’m flexible and organized to keep things running smoothly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medication and playtime. I make sure the pets feel safe and cared for by spending quality time with them, giving them attention, and keeping their environment clean and familiar. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy, locking up securely, and updating them regularly with photos or messages so they know their pets are happy and in good hands.
