Dog Walking Village of the Branch

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies and cuddly kittens to senior pets who need extra attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work at a local Emergency Veterinary Center for more than 2 years. I have rode and cared for horses most of my life. I work part time and I have a flexible schedule to help care for your fur babies. I look forward to taking care of your treasured pets. I have 3 pets at home, 2 dogs and a cat. I care for them daily. I walk my dogs and I also have been active in dog training, with my dog. This helps me when I walk dogs not familiar to me.

“Very punctual…. Excellent to have someone that can walk on short notice!”

“Allie took such great care of my two pups and my pups really enjoyed her company”

“I hit the jackpot when I booked Sarah. She is an absolute delight- so accommodating and caring. My dog took to her immediately. (I’m almost hesitant to rave too much about her because I selfishly want to keep her all to myself.) Sarah came to me after I had double knee replacement surgery, and naturally I was so worried about how I would care for my dog. I didn’t want to put him in a kennel, so she literally rescued both of us. Do not hesitate to book Sarah for any/all of your pet’s needs. She’s a gem!”

About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I had a cat when I was young which I took care of. Along with the cat, I’ve had various beta fish each living beyond expected life spans. When I was 17-19, I took care of my neighbor’s cat while they were on vacation. I’ve also helped take care of my grandmother’s dog for the past 5 years. I take her for walks and play with her. For the past few months, I’ve been volunteering at an animal shelter where my job is to clean the cat rooms and walk the dogs there. I’m currently a full time college student, but I will be available for breaks and over the summer. During breaks, I’m available anytime during the week depending on what days I’m home. During the summer, I have more open availability with any day being free depending on my internship. I’m very gentile whenever I work with animals, especially pets. I make sure an animal feels comfortable around me before getting them to do something. I build trust in the animal so that I can get them into a crate easily.

“John is a really great guy and is fantastic with our two dogs (2 Boxers), even taking the time to work on some training for our unruly 11 year old puppy. He is very prompt and courteous. Highly recommended to all.”

“Ava helped me walk my pup while I was sick. She was very kind and attentive. She took photos of their walk and let me know important details! I will definitely be contacting Ava again for help with dog walking some time:)”

About: I’m a total animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats—and I’ve got a full house myself with 4 pups and 4 kitties, so I truly get how much love (and personality!) our furry friends bring to our lives. I’m super flexible with scheduling and can check in on your pet as often as every 2 hours—or even more if needed! I’m also totally comfortable giving medications and handling any special needs your pet might have. I love keeping pet parents in the loop, so whether you prefer texts, photos, videos, or even a quick phone or video call, I’m happy to provide regular updates to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and totally loved while you’re away!

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Since I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I can help keep them on their normal schedule so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. For house sitting, I’m also able to bring my work equipment with me, which allows me to stay with your pet while still working remotely and giving them consistent care and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine and environment as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and fenced areas are secure, and I pay close attention during walks and playtime to keep pets safe. I’m respectful of every client’s home and will treat both your pet and your space with care. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Kate is incredibly reliable and truly treats my dog like family. She went above and beyond by sending thoughtful updates, photos, and making sure their walk was full of care and attention, as she is an older dog. I feel completely at ease with Kate and will be booking again when needed!!”

“Jess has done an amazing job with my Boris. He even went potty in the house and she took it upon herself to clean it. She will go above and beyond to take care of your animals. I will definitely have her back to walk my boy.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong love and experience with dogs. I’m 33 years old and have always had a dog in my home, so caring for them is second nature to me. For the past 8 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog sitter and walker, working with pups of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or senior dogs who need a gentler touch, I know how to adapt to their unique needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. My priority is not just keeping tails wagging, but also giving you peace of mind knowing your pup is in trustworthy hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy it and make time for it. I’m currently taking classes to prepare for a nursing program, so I balance my schedule with studying, homework, and extra work on the side. Having pet care built into my week gives me a chance to step away from the books, stay active, and spend time doing something I love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving a pet extra attention, I find that caring for animals is the perfect complement to my studies—it keeps me grounded, happy, and motivated. When I care for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether that’s in my home or in a client’s home. I’ve stayed in clients’ homes for a week at a time, done drop-in visits, and taken dogs on walks, so I’m flexible to what each family needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow routines closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so pets stick to what’s familiar and feel at ease. I treat their home with the same respect as I would my own. I’m also very communicative and know how important updates are when you’re away. I check in regularly with photos, notes, and anything you’d like to know so you always feel connected and reassured. Families I’ve worked with know they can trust me to be reliable, caring, and attentive to every detail.
