Dog Walking Volunteer

About: I live on a 14-acre property with vinyl horse fencing that has been reinforced with fence wire to contain dogs securely. We have two fully fenced fields, each about 70 yards x 50 yards. One field has agility equipment. Boarders and day care dogs will be able to interact with the agility equipment, if time allows and dog is comfortable. The other field is used mainly for disc dog practice and competitions, but is also great for general play. We have a stream running along the back of our property. We have 2 dog runs outside for outdoor relaxation when we are not doing activities. I have dog training certifications with Karen Pryor Academy and Animal Behavior College. I prefer to interact with dogs using positive reinforcement, treats and praise. I have been involved with dog sport training since 2008. We currently have 7 small dogs, all actively involved in dog sports, including flyball, disc, agility, barn hunt and tricks. Our females are intact and 2 males are intact.

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, my own and others included, since as far back as 8 years old. I've always enjoyed taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages and it makes my heart happy to see my kids following in those footsteps as they get older as well. I have a husband of almost 11 years, which will occasionally be helping with some of the pet care, and we have 2 kids (ages 4 and 9) so you know your animals will get plenty of cuddles and play time. We all enjoy and love your pets like our own! Our pets of our own include chickens which are all kept inside of a fenced in area. We live on roughly 3 acres of "unfenced land" at the end of our paved neighborhood road. Included in that are a few scenic trails through the woods on our property, so that means we have plenty of space for your fur babies to have some play time outside in the yard, and walks through the neighborhood/trails for exploration, exercise, and relaxation throughout the day! We are here with open arms ready to care for your sweet babies and willing to learn about each of their individual needs to make sure we make them and you feel comfortable and part of our family in the process! From boarding overnight, to drop-in visits when you can't be there, to random play visits/walking your fur babies, or even meeting/helping you with multiple animals' vet visits..... No matter the job or type of animal, give us a try and you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to hear from you and to make you part of the fam! I am a part time teacher/part time stay-at-home mom/wife so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve for whatever the job you may need for them! Your pets are housed inside our home as one of the family. We have plenty of crates inside our house for individual sleeping spaces. We also use baby gates throughout the house to separate areas of our house so animals can be separated in their own spaces if and when needed. I always communicate quickly with clients and make sure to send lots of pictures to assure them of their pets experience and exceptional care with my family and I. I also provide each animal with an apple air tag just as a safety precaution when they are in my care for mine and my clients peace of mind.

“Karissa is very responsive, and was able to let me know she could take care of my dog on short notice. She does a great job, and my dog really enjoys her company!”

About: I have two dogs personally and have been a dog sitting for friends & family for many years. Whether your pet needs structured playtime, quiet companionship, or a little help getting around, I’ve got it covered! I work full time from home so I am always home to help with whatever your dog needs may be. I take my personal dogs on multiple walks per day during my breaks and will be happy to provide the same care for your dogs. I have a back deck with a gate that is completely closed in that my dogs personally LOVE! We sit out there and sunbathe and watch the birds. I also take them on multiple walks per day to make sure we are getting plenty of exercise. In the evenings and on weekends we like to venture out for a hike or go to the local dog park.

About: I have always had dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, ect. Also, I'm an EMT so I can handle any medical emergency that may arise as well! I just work part time, 3 nights per week, so my schedule is very open to love and care for your pets along with mine! I have a fenced yard as well as a fenced porch. My 2 fur babies are free roamers inside and are super friendly and loving!

“Emily and I met to get to know once another and let her interact with Kacee. She is wonderful and the way she interacted with Kacee left me feeling secure on the knowledge that she would care for him as if her were her own. We got pictures from Emily while Kacee was out being his wonderful self which I loved. We will definitely be using Emily in the future. Emily thank you so much”

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from house pets to farm animals. I currently do Rover full-time, but have worked at a dog boarding/training facility and have worked with/handled dogs of all sizes and breeds. Although I have more experience around dogs I love cats just as much! I have no issues with certain breeds, ages, sizes, or handling medicine (so long as it is nothing a professional vet should handle). I can’t wait to watch and care for your fur babies! I pet-sit full time, giving me plenty of free time to walk, watch, and love your pets! My schedule is also very flexible making it easier to schedule based off your needs! I do have my own dog but unfortunately she is not friendly with other animals. Because of this I can only do daycare/overnight at clients own homes and walks/check-ins. I have plenty of personal and professional experience with aggressive animals and have no issues watching/walking aggressive dogs so long as both me and you are comfortable with it. With that being said it is important to me that any aggressive behavior whether with animals and/or people is told upfront and honestly as well meeting the dog ahead of time.

About: Hi! I’m Nia, a lifelong dog lover based in the 27030 area. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own: Indi, my 2.5-year-old Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix, and Bear, my 6-month-old Poodle. Because I travel myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. That’s why I focus on communication, safety, and making sure both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. I’m experienced with puppies, small breeds, high-energy dogs, and slower senior dogs. Whether your pup prefers a relaxed stroll, a jog to burn off energy, or a day at the park, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I can work on keeping up with basic commands and training but I am not certified in any dog training. If you’re interested, I can also safely introduce your dog to Indi and Bear for socialization, only with your permission and after making sure it’s a good fit. Safety is always my priority. I carefully check harnesses and leashes, follow all feeding and water instructions, and stick closely to your dog’s normal routine. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very open availability, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings and I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs of my own, Indi and Bear. I plan my days around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and outdoor time, so adding additional pets into my routine feels natural and easy. I have open availability, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because I’m used to a consistent routine, I’m dependable and organized when it comes to providing reliable care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and preferred walking routes. I double-check harnesses, collars, and leashes before walks and monitor pets closely at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment with plenty of supervised playtime and rest. Any introductions to my dogs are done slowly and only with owner permission. I pay close attention to body language and energy levels to ensure every pet feels safe and secure. However, most of the time I will provide sitting in clients home and dog walking outside.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs mostly my whole life I grew up with multiple dogs and have cared and loved them since book me ❤️ I currently work from home so I am available to dog sit all day any day of the week if needed. Any day to assist Although my yard is not fenced I do have a big back yard and will make sure they are safe inside and out side .
