Dog Walking In View Ridge

About: Hi! My name is Melani. I grew up with cats and dogs, so I swing both ways when it comes to furry friends. I love all dogs and breeds, big and small. I do have a special spot in my heart for rescue animals, as the loving owner of a rescue dog named Lola (she gives lots of love in return). My experience adopting, training, and caring for a rescue animal gives me insight into caring for your pet. I know the importance of keeping an eye on your pet's behavior and staying aware of triggers, so your pup can be safe and have fun. Safety is my #1 priority, and my #2 priority is fun. I love meeting other animals, and I'm excited to meet your pet!

“Isabella is awesome! We’ve used her several times for walks now and Frankie always comes back super happy. Will definitely continue using Isabella for more walks in the future”

“Caralyn was great! She asked thoughtful questions about my pup during our meet and greet. She communicated before and after picking him up and taking him for a walk and sent pictures.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for senior pups and administering medications. I’ve cared for all types of dogs, from nine to ninety pounds! I love pets and I’d love the opportunity to care for your four legged friend!. I currently work part-time and I’m off school for the summer! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have no conflicts which can’t be worked around! I’d prefer to care for your pet in your own home, as I have a pup of my own and she can be a little persnickety!

About: I've been caring for dogs for most of my life and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My family had a Cavapoo named Midnight for 16 years, and I currently help care for Neo, a 12-year-old Chihuahua-terrier mix. I've also cared for many other dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs, my reliability, and my genuine love for animals. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether that means lots of playtime and exercise or a calmer routine with extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. As an Animal Science student, I'm passionate about animal health and welfare and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am organized, reliable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Whether a pet needs an active routine or a quieter environment, I am committed to providing consistent care and attention while their owner is away. I understand how important routines are for pets, so I make it a priority to follow each pet's normal schedule as closely as possible and provide regular updates to owners for peace of mind. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as given, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any house rules. I respect the home by keeping it clean, secure, and leaving everything as I found it. I always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. During walks or outdoor time, I use proper leashing at all times and stay alert to surroundings to ensure safety. I understand that trust is very important when caring for someone’s pet and home, so I communicate clearly with updates, follow instructions carefully, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’m a dog parent and PhD student with 4+ years of walking and caring for my own reactive dog, and 17 years of petsitting dogs, cats, small mammals, and lizards. My goal in pet care of any kind is making sure your pets feel as safe, loved, and happy as possible. I’m very comfortable working with reactivity in dogs and will ask all dog owners what their dog’s limits and preferences are with common triggers during walks. I also have experience with senior dog care and medication administration. I’m a PhD student with a flexible work schedule during the school year and full daytime availability during the summer. I am also a part-time musician. The safety and comfort of your pets is my most important priority. I commit to following the “leave no trace” rule when visiting in client’s homes.

“Angela has been walking our dog Maggie 2-3 times per week for a few months and she is great! She’s on time and communicative in advanced with any changes to our weekly schedule. When we run into Angela in the neighborhood on our own walks, Maggie is so excited to see her!!!”

About: I was born with an 8-year-old Great Dane, so I've been around dogs literally since I was born. I regularly volunteer at Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, working with puppies during puppy yoga and wrangling puppies during the monthly Puppy Prov, when puppies participate in an improv comedy show. I also walk some of my neighbor's dogs. I don't have a dog right now, but I still love dogs and pet them every chance I get. I'm in school on weekdays, but I am free most weekends except for the first Saturday of every month when I'm usually volunteering with puppies. When the school year ends, I will be available on weekdays and not weekends. I maintain attention and make sure the dog has a chance to sniff things along the way but not eat anything. I've dealt with energetic dogs in the past so I can divert a dog's attention if it wants to interact with another dog who doesn't want to. I can also work on training dogs to heel during our walks.

“My husband and our lab Sammie walk together every day. While he was away for 2 weeks Anatolii and Svetlana provided great walks which Sammie absolutely loved. She waited at the door for them to arrive, and when they returned she was happy and tired for the rest of the day. They loved Sammie as much as she loved them and sent us wonderful pictures. They are friendly, reliable, always on time. Would definitely recommend and will have them walk with Sammie again.”

“I was extremely pleased. Debs & Paul were perfect, professional & punctual. So many Ps! I needed someone last minute to walk my kidz: two rambunctious Rhodesian Ridgebacks. D&P are nearby so we scheduled a meet&greet. Charly, my girl, barked and Paul just stood straight and didn't look at her. He gave her a few cookies and D&P were totally unfazed by her! That moment showed me that D&P clearly understood dog behavior. My kidz came back from their first walk happy, tails a-waggin'. D&P sent photos of their walks and how the kidz responded to other dogs. I'm very happy with D&P and am planning on going one-step further and have them housesit.”

“Lynn was great walking our doodle and poodle. Our doodle loves everyone but our poodle can be pretty shy. Lynn showed a lot of patience with her and got her in her harness and walked each time. She also had no problem with two good sized dogs. We hope Lynn will continue to help us out when needed.”

“Sheena really knows dogs and clearly loves them. My dog took to her tight away. She has been completely reliable and consistent. I come home to a relaxed, calm, contented dog.”

About: I have a variety of experience house, dog, and cat sitting for animals of all ages, and many with medical needs. I am personable and punctual, and have a very flexible day-to-day schedule and love to meet new pets! Open for short notice bookings! I work fully remotely, and so have a very flexible daily schedule, into which some pet time fits great. I have plenty of free time on a weekly basis for unique needs and timing. I have extensive experience pet sitting at client's homes, including overnight. I think caring for pets on their home turf is a great way to get to know them and provide enrichment and fun times!

“Lillian has been an amazing dog walker for us. Our dog absolutely loves her and gets very excited every time she arrives. Lillian always finds the right approach with our dog and makes every walk enjoyable!”

About: Whenever friends ask me to watch their pet whether it’s for a day, weekend or a week I feel honored, because they are entrusting me to watch a part of their family. Growing up with dogs I have always loved pets and miss having one immensely. Whenever I am pet sitting for friends I make sure to do check-ins and send fun selfies to the pawrent to help them keep their mind at ease! I am working to get a fully remote role, that way u am able to take care and provide as much time and attention as needed I live in a clean and safe apartment with my cruel friend, we keep things neat and tidy, when we had a friends cat with us for 2 weeks we made sure nothing was able to be wrecked and that anything the cat needed was attended to immediately. Whenever I watch a friends pet at their house, I make sure to follow the schedule exactly that they set because I am in their home and want to respect them as highly as I can.
