Dog Walking University Heights

About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.

“Came for a last minute walk and was so helpful!”

About: Former doggy daycare employee, multi-year animal shelter volunteer, and pet sitter extraordinaire for friends and family. I am currently doing Rover full-time, so have a really flexible schedule. I love all animals big and small, but especially enjoy caring for dogs and cats. Not discriminatory toward any breed of dog. I am huge on sending photos and updates while caring for your pets! I have extremely flexible availability currently and do my best to review and update my calendar every day to ensure it is up to date. I am happy to stay overnight in your home if preferred, and/or do late night and early morning check-ins! I am reliable and understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to care for your animals. I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your pets and home as if I am caring for my own.

“Deontae has been a godsend! My large breed dog is too big for me to walk safely with my medical restrictions and he was going stir crazy with no way to exercise. He is loving his walks with Deontae now and is much calmer and happier all around.”

About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

“Nicole did a great job walking my dogs plus she did a few extra things for me around my house. I’m recovering from hip surgery & she offered to do whatever I needed. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them comes naturally to me. My family has always had dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’ve also owned cats my whole life and truly understand how to take care of them with lots of love and patience. I can administer medicine, take them on walks, feed, bathe, you name it! Your pets will be treated like family when they’re with me! I am pretty flexible. Right now I am currently working full time but I think there will be a shift in my schedule soon! :) When I am in your residence, I will treat it with the utmost care and do exactly as you instructed for the care of your fur baby. Anything you need such as your litter box needing scooped, medicine, etc. I got your back!

“Five stars are not nearly enough! Stacey is fantastic! She does a great job and really provides you with peace of mind that everyone is well taken care of.”

About: With complete thanks to my mother, I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. From cats and dogs, to birds, snakes, and lizards. I truly have cared for them all! I can also follow any directions you give me to a tee. I am open to caring for not only cats and dogs, but other furry and scaly friends as well. I also consider myself to be an amazing pet photographer, and can keep you updated with plenty of pictures during our visit. Allow me to ease your mind while you are away, and give your furry friend(s) the best staycation they have ever experienced! I am open to dogs of all breeds and sizes. I currently work full time as a case manager. I am fortunate to be able to work from home 4 days/week. This gives me the flexibility to be able to check on your animals frequently. I am also available for mid day dog walks when the work day seems a bit too long for the pups. Every animal I encounter, I treat with respect and kindness. I have been a dog/cat mom of my own for about 5 years, and grew up with a plethora of animals to take care of. Since a young child, I have had a special bond with animals. You can truly trust that your pet will be in the best hands when leaving them under my care. I am also completely okay with any video cameras/surveillance during my visits as I also have cameras for my animals! Unfortunately, my own dog is reactive. This means I will only be able to provide drop-in visits to your home. However, I am comfortable with reactive dogs and feisty cats!

About: In the past I have fostered many dogs of all ages and dogs with medical conditions requiring more care and I am comfortable giving medications. One of my dogs I went through a training course with where we used e-collars, so if your dog is e-collar trained I am very comfortable with this! I have also worked at a dog boarding facility taking care of many dogs and worked at a vet clinic taking care of dogs boarding! I am currently watching dogs full time so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and exercise they need to feel most comfortable! I have a fenced in yard where your dog will have plenty of room to run and play! I also have 4 dogs who are all friendly and interact well either other dogs.

About: I have always cared for animals and have volunteered at animal shelters. I know how to shower them, feed, play, and care for and I have for a couple years now. I work part time but my hours vary and am remote. So pet care fits all through my schedule based on what the needs are! I have a fenced yard where big and small dogs are safe to roam around. I do have a shy fur baby who would take some getting used to another animal around, but is friendly. My dog enjoys walking with others dogs, but is not a hyper dog as he is older now.

About: Since I was little I've always had a dog to care for. Not a moment goes by where I’m not thinking of an animal . I have experience with puppy potty training, and elderly dogs. I’m comfortable with walks and park time :) Pet care fits right into my routine because I am home a lot with my son. But we also love hiking and adventure. So the dogs can join us! This allows lot of outdoor time and exercise. I live with my so there are always extra hands. My mom doesn’t work right now so there is always someone in the house to keep your animal company if I have to work. Which is only a few hours a few days a week. My mom is Mia and is an approved rover sitter on my profile :) I love keeping the dogs active and letting them play. I have a large fenced in yard with a doggy door so they can always feel free to use the potty or get some fresh air. Plus park visits! I treat my dogs like guests. They can join me to cuddle on the couch or bed ❤️ their comfort is my top priority so they feel safe while you’re out of town .

“Our dog is pretty high maintenance and Raven is FANTASTIC with him. He is about 75 pounds of pure energy and she is great with him on walks and in the house. Thank you Raven for taking such good care of our boy!”
