Dog Walkers in Walker, IA

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time! I always keep the water bowl full and am always willing to offer your pet a bath (if you'd like.) My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the to meet y'all and let's play fetch! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.

About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!

About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.

“Landon is so chill & sweet with Trygve, my sweet Norwegian Elkhound. Tryg loves to "scent walk" and is a big boy and tends to pull very hard ( & I'm a small person), so this has been a win-win for us! Welcome to the family, Landon!”

I am semi-retired and have extra time to provide loving care, exercise and fun play dates for your pet. I am available weekdays and some Saturdays. We have a large 1-acre lot and use a 35-foot leader for our grand pups to drag as we train them to stay within the parameters of the yard.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. I come from a ranch in Oklahoma and so I have experience with multiple different kinds of animals. I am very fond of all types of dogs including band types as in pitbull‘s and Rott Weilers and many more. I do not mind bathing pets and I love to walk outside even during the winter. If you have a strict schedule I can follow that too. I am a healthcare worker from the University of Iowa hospitals and clinics and I also work as a CNA through a local agency . So taking care of things is kind of second nature to me. Pet care would start by seeing if there is a schedule that the owner sets out for me to follow or I will follow basic care needs if the owner requested that I am willing to do it if supplies is provided I also love to take dogs on walks so I do not mind doing that also. I live in an apartment that has plenty of trails and walking areas near it. I am also willing to come to you to watch your dogs and to take care of them. I love all shapes and sizes. I am also open to taking care of things other than cats and dogs.

I am willing to work around your schedule to make things as easy as possible. Currently, I am unable to provide boarding services at my house due to our rescued kittens we have. Other animals tend to stress them out.
