Dog Walking Villa Heights

“Amanda has been such an amazing friend to Cosmo. We moved to 4th ward last week and the change was stressful on the little guy. Amanda immediately established a rapport with him and they have great walks together. She is also very punctual and communicates well.”

“This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.”

Jill S.

“Amber did an amazing job walking Gungi! She was reliable, friendly, and made sure Gungi got the exercise and attention he needed. I could tell he was happy and well-cared for after their walks. I’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

“Lindsey was a great dog walker for my two German shepherds who both have dog/animal reactivity and anxiety. She was extremely receptive to all my concerns and took all precautions needed to keep my dogs and others safe. In addition, she was kind, timely and communicative, all very important characteristics for me to trust my dogs with someone while I'm away. I will definitely use her services in the future.”

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. In August 2025, my three-legged Dachshund became paralyzed after a spinal cord injury. He never regained feeling in his back legs, and for nearly 10 months I provided around the clock care to give him the best quality of life possible. I performed daily physical therapy, manually expressed his bladder and bowels, helped him eat, transported him to rehabilitation and acupuncture appointments, and adapted our home and routines to support his mobility. Although he had only one functioning leg, he continued to live a happy, love filled life until we had to say goodbye. That experience gave me extensive hands on experience caring for a disabled companion and deepened my love and understanding of animals. I have a special place in my heart for senior, disabled, and special needs furry friends, and I'm comfortable providing extra patience, medications, mobility assistance, and individualized care when needed. Since losing my dog, I have found myself with extra time and would love to spend it caring for other people's furry family members. I am self employed and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care. I'm also very active and love going on walks, playing outside, or simply spending time cuddling on the couch, whatever makes your furry friend happiest. My goal is to make every companion feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Because I'm self employed and work entirely from home, I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime instead of leaving your furry friend alone for long periods. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, sniff, and explore. Whether your companion loves to stay active or simply relax with someone nearby, I can provide a calm, comfortable environment where they'll feel right at home. Creating a safe, comfortable environment is my top priority. My home is located in a quiet neighborhood and features a large, fully fenced backyard with a 10-foot privacy fence, giving dogs plenty of room to safely explore, sniff, play, and relax. The yard also has plenty of shade, making it a comfortable place to spend time outdoors even on warmer days. Inside, I have pet gates to help manage spaces safely, along with toys, cozy beds, and designated areas for rest and relaxation. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I also provide private spaces where a furry friend can decompress and have some quiet time if they are feeling nervous, overwhelmed, or simply prefer their own space. My goal is to create a calm, low-stress environment where every companion feels safe, secure, and cared for throughout their stay.

About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional veterinary experience and genuine love for animals. I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I learned to recognize signs of illness, handle pets with patience and compassion, and support pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, and caring for pets with special needs or medical conditions. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home as a customer support representative for a veterinary clinic, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feedings, or simply keeping your pet company, I'm able to give them plenty of attention while maintaining their normal routine. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, making dog walks and play sessions one of my favorite parts of the day. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or simply stopping by for a visit or walk, I'll follow your instructions closely to help keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. With my veterinary background, I'm attentive to changes in behavior or health and understand the importance of careful observation. I'll ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, provide fresh food and water, clean up after your pet, and create a calm, positive environment where they feel safe and cared for. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, tons of photoshoots, and prompt communication throughout my visits. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated like one of my own.

About: I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them is something I love. I took some vet classes in high school that helped me learn the basics! Such as their body behavior, basic handling, and how to administer medication. I also gained some experience with grooming and caring for senior dogs, as I understand older pets need extra patience and attention. I’ve trained my own dog to perform many tricks and sleep on his own, so if you have a puppy I’d be more than happy to show them some basic tricks and commands during our time together. While training takes time I’m always happy to help them learn more and build good habits. I’m currently available to do walks or pet visits in the evening where I can then on a walk or even go to the park and play. I’m a full time student and worker as well so for right now the only days I’m available are Friday and Sundays for boarding, pet sitting, and home visits and need at least a 2 day notice please! I live in an apartment where there is a little doggy park and it’s a very dog friendly environment. Inside my apartment they are able to be on the furniture and be with me at all times. I will be taking them out every 1-2 hours or if you need me to do it more often I would be more than happy to. While they are with me if you have any extra requests to have them be on the bed or keep them in their crate I will be happy to follow that.

“Kelly did a great job! She was able to arrange a last-minute meet and greet as I was traveling unexpectedly during New Years and did an excellent job with my two large dogs and 4 cats. She followed all of their care instructions and all of my pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I am already scheduling my next booking with her, highly recommended!”

Megan M.

“Excellent and communicated throughout all visits with photos. Punctual and took her time with Robie. Very satisfied and happy with her service.”

“Elizabeth was my first Rover experience and it has been great so far! She responds back quickly, she did a meet and greet with my dog prior to scheduling the first walk, was punctual, and also timed it well so my dog had a little play time with her after his walk. The cute pictures of my dog during the time were also a nice surprise and appreciated! Due to my work schedule, I’ll probably be scheduling with her monthly from here on out.”

Samantha G.

“Peyton is great. I was very fortunate to come across him when I was visiting Charlotte for two weeks. He came to my hotel and walk my dog every day while I was at work. He was always on time and left me messages every day. I would definitely recommend him. He provided a perfect no stress service. Thank you, Peyton. Pluto will miss you.”

“Jack was fantastic with our dogs. Very kind and communicative. Our dogs loved him and we trusted him completely with him. Can’t wait to work with him again!”

About: I have grown up with 3 labs in the house since I was 5. My family and I always enjoyed watching after our own dogs and the neighbors dogs! My family has recently taken in my sisters Rhodesian Ridgeback and I love taking care of him when I get to visit home. I have taken care of big dogs and small dogs and cats. I will happily give dogs a bath, walk them, feed them, take them to the beach and more! I currently work from home full-time. I have a flexible schedule for walks, visits and more! I go on a daily walk so happy to include my new friend with me. I would love to take your dog on a walk around NODA/uptown/south end/ any of the greenways! I give them lots of cuddles when they want it and love to talk to the fur babies.

“Alex has been helpful and friendly with taking care of Arya. He was able to schedule a visit to meet Arya and help take care of her in no time at all!”

About: My name is Shannon and I have a cat that I have had since she was a kitten and a large male dog I rescued from a shelter when he was one. I'm great with cats and dogs! I can watch your pets in the comfort of their own home. Will take your dog for walks, make sure they get some play time in, food, water and treats. Love animals and hope you give me the chance to watch your fur babies! Due to a permanent neck injury I cannot walk dogs that weigh more than 20 pounds or handle larger dogs that jump a lot. Definitely need to watch smaller dogs or well behaved large dogs that have a fence to be let out into. I'm pretty flexible so just let me know what you need and we can definitely work something out that will work for both of us! I will make sure to follow any instructions you leave for me and give your pet the love and attention that they deserve. 🙂 🐈‍⬛🐶 I've also watched bunnies, lizards, squirrels and raccoons. I've got a little experience with administering IV fluids to a senior cat and continuing to get more experience with that. Pet sitting is my full time gig so I am pretty flexible with whatever you may need for your pet. Just let me know what you need! If you have a fenced in yard I will make sure to keep an eye on your pet to make sure nothing happens to them while they are outside.
