Dog Walking University Park

About: I have grown up with pets all my life they are a part of what makes me me. I have grown up with pets and now that I’m in school I miss taking care of them. I will take care of your furry friend with as much love as I take care of mine! I am available all evenings but Mondays and weekends are super flexible! I would love to provide more details with owners when planning! Thank you I will play close attention to the instructions and respect the rules provided. I will make sure to ask clarification when needed and provide updates!

“Ramona took to Byron immediately. He is very attentive and asked all the right questions about habits and cues to ensure our young dog had a great walk. Thank you!”

“Lillian was a great companion to both our pets while we were away for the holiday. We were so happy to connect with someone willing to drive our dog to an area of the neighborhood with flatter streets. I'm sure he was happy too! Would definitely recommend.”

“Top notch”

About: I have cared for dogs for my family and friends for as long as I can remember. Dogs of all size, shape, and personality are welcome! I am an early riser and can feed and exercise the pet early and my schedule is flexible so I can make time to get to know your pet. I provide a safe and playful environment. I know every dog is different so I take into account the owner's recommendations along with the dog's behavior on how to best care for it.

“Kate is amazing and my dog is enjoying the plentiful belly rubs she's getting!”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!

“My dog loved Alex and he did a great job of taking care of him while I was away. Great communication and followed the schedule I asked and was flexible when needed”

“Bobby is great! He took our high-energy dog on a nice long walk and sent a great update and great pictures. He came over for a meet and greet prior and was really attentive and asked good questions. We’re looking forward to more walks with Bobby!”

“Elizabeth has been wonderful with Poppy! Everything was so last minute and she's been accommodating, communicative, and I've felt incredibly comfortable and happy with leaving my pup in her care for walks.”

About: Hi, I'm Allison. I live with two kitties of my own, Spencer and Ashy. I would love to have a dog around because I could take it for walks. The cats aren’t going outside too much! I live in a 2 bedroom condo with a fenced outside area, but the dogs could stay inside. I am close to Cathedral, Forest and Pier Parks. i am in grad school so I spend a lot of time at home online and studying. I work a few blocks away a few days a week as a massage therapist and am only gone about 4 hours at a time max. i have a fenced yard, love to go for walks. I am near lots of parks. I can crate dog if that is your protocol or they can hang out free range style :)

“Annika is a fantastic dog walker! professional, friendly, courteous, and flexible with schedule changes. I'm just jealous that my dog's get more excited for walks with Annika than they do for me 🤣 😂”

About: I grew up raising my two dogs, Nike and Sparky, since they were babies. Nike is a dachshund and Sparky is a little chunky chihuahua. They are both 11 years old. I also babysit my friend’s frenchie, Appa, when they go out of town. I currently work full-time, and am free in the evenings. I am also free during the weekends. I am pretty active and love to go on hikes and runs. I am a super outdoorsy person but can also be a couch potato. Although I don’t have a yard, I live in a super pet friendly neighborhood. I also currently don’t have pets and live in a calm friendly neighborhood.

About: I grew up with animals and have had cats, dogs, and even a bunny! I currently have a senior dog and a cat of my own, who I love dearly. I did training classes with my dog when he was young and learned some useful skills, and will always respect your animals space and comfort with a new person. I'm working part time at the moment and have pretty open availability to spend time with your animals! My schedule can be fairly flexible as needed. I like working with animals in their own homes, where they are usually most comfortable. I will always respect personal space of you and your animal, as well as your privacy, and respect your home. I adapt to pet care as needed for the animal. I know younger dog will likely have different exercise needs than a senior dog and trust you to know your animal and their needs best. I will always be patient and kind with them.

About: As a former National Park Service employee of ten years I’m basically hardwired to love the outdoors and animals, and spending time with animals in the outdoors! I’ve pet sit cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and abilities for friends, family, and coworkers. Having had both very old and anxious dogs, I’m familiar with the patience, attentiveness, and consistency needed to watch high needs pets and will always adapt my care to guarantee their comfort. As both a college student and an exercise enthusiast, I can fit the care of your pet seamlessly in with my everyday life - be it cuddling on the couch, hanging out in a shared space, throwing a ball, or going for hikes or light runs. When outdoors I always carry extra water and a dog bowl, and am closely tuned in to the needs of your pet to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having a great time. As a full-time college student I have very flexible availability, especially in the early morning, afternoons, and evening. This means I can check in often, and dedicate the best/coolest time of day to walks. As someone who grew up with hyper active and intelligent dogs, I understand that the anxiety that comes with human-pet separation is a two way street. To make sure both you and your pets have peace of mind, I will do my best to gather all necessary information from you about your pets needs, routines, preferences, behaviors, training level (judgement free - training is hard and dogs have a mind of their own), and physical capabilities. I will take notes during our conversation, closely follow all directions, and send you as many pet pics as you need!

About: I believe great pet care starts with trust. I'm dependable, reliable, and patient, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I take the time to make pets feel safe and comfortable while giving them the attention and care they deserve. Before pursuing pet sitting, I worked remotely for an international dog rescue, which further strengthened my passion for animal welfare and deepened my understanding of responsible pet care. Being part of an organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming dogs reinforced my commitment to animal well-being, and strengthened the qualities I bring to pet care — compassion, patience, reliability, and attention to detail. In the past, I volunteered with a local animal rescue where I primarily cared for cats. I currently volunteer with a rescue where I mostly help with dogs, as well as assisting at various fundraising events. I especially love meeting our supporters and their pets at these events. It’s heartwarming to see them enjoying these functions alongside their pets! Volunteering has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, compassionate, and reliable care, and I look forward to giving every pet the same attention and kindness I would want for my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I have plenty of time to give your pup or kitty the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I'll be there to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. From my experience, I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I always follow each owner's care instructions closely. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and lots of affection. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality and comfort level, whether they're energetic and playful or prefer a quieter, more relaxed environment. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in reliable, compassionate hands. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you can see how your pet is doing!

About: I've had dogs and loved animals my whole life, from small dogs to big active mutts. My current dog is a Lab/Border Collie who required ample training and needs lots of action to stay happy. I'm a freelance artist so my schedule is flexible, and i'd go for long walks everyday even if I didn't have my active dog. I've always enjoyed spending time with animals even if it's just sitting in the same room or active play. If your pup needs to be worn out, im happy to do it. If they just need someone to be near, I'm happy to do it. I am a freelance artist so I make my own schedule and I'm pretty flexible. I always have time for a midday session when most people are at work I have a fully fenced yard and lots of room to sniff and play ball, but I tend to go for long walks and to the park to play.

“My dog loves her! Rachel is super reliable and communicative and so sweet with the pup. Will definitely schedule with her again (and again!)! Thanks Rachel!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle and I work from home as a digital marketing professional. My profession offers me a lot of flexibility in my schedule so I’m often available for pet care, which I absolutely love! My professional pet care experience includes over 10 years of pet sitting, working at a humane society and volunteering with shelters and rescues. I have experience with many types of pets, temperaments, and special needs. Puppies? Seniors? Reactive? No worries! I’ll provide attentive, loving, gentle care. Since I was a small child, I’ve been happiest when spending time with and caring for animals. When not showering other pets with attention and love, I can be found with my sweet dog, Jack. He’s a 12 yr old black lab mix that I rescued off the street when he was just 7 months old. I look forward to meeting you and your pet friends! ☺️ My days are fairly flexible so I have availability most days for pet check-ins, sitting and walks. I’m happy to discuss specific availability upon request. I live in an upstairs apartment. Pets staying with get regular on-leash potty breaks outside (we generally take a short walk since there is no yard), are allowed on the furniture and are showered with adoration (unless they’re not into that). Whether in my home or yours, I always follow instructions given and prioritize your pets’ wellbeing, safety and comfort.
