Dog Walking Waverly

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.

“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”

About: I love providing care that feels personal and full of joy. Animals have always been part of my life, and after years of experience, over 90 bookings and counting; I’ve learned that connection matters most. My goal is to engage and exhaust, because happy dogs are tired dogs. Every visit is about building trust and comfort. When families choose to rebook, it’s more than a service; it’s a relationship built on love, reliability, and understanding. Dogs become part of my daily routine rather than being placed into a kennel environment. My day is structured around consistency, exercise, and calm downtime, which helps many dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Because I work from home and with a limited number of dogs I'm able to pay close attention to each dog's needs. High energy dogs receive appropriate exercise and engagement, while more relaxed dogs are given the space and quiet they prefer. My goal is simple: when you pick up your dog, I want the dog to seem like they had a great vacation of their own.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. Since childhood, I’ve been surrounded by pets and learned to understand their body language and unique needs. At 25, I adopted and personally trained my own dog, who grew into a smart, well-behaved companion. I also fostered many cats and dogs and volunteered in animal shelters. Now in the U.S., I adopted two rescue cats who are thriving with me. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets. Whether your furry friend is playful, shy, senior, or full of energy, I provide loving, safe, and attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I’m available around the clock — mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight. I don’t have a separate job pulling me away, which means my day is built entirely around your pet’s routine: walks, feeding, medication, playtime, and steady company. Last-minute bookings and longer visits are rarely a problem for me. With many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to follow your instructions exactly and to make your pet feel safe and happy. Friends often trust me to foster their pets, and I always make sure they feel loved, played with, walked, and even lightly trained if needed. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, you can be sure I’ll provide the same level of care, attention, and affection as I do for my own two rescue cats. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority.

About: Your dog gets more than a walk with me. They get personalized care, attention, and a walker you can trust. I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have watched dogs for others for a very long time as well. My daily routine is very active, and pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I spend a lot of my time walkiing, running, and working out so I'm use to staying outdoors and staying on the move. I have a flexible schedule and plenty availability for walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout my day. I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed but going on a walks, runs, to a park or staying at a clients house is preferred.

About: I have a flexible schedule and am booking dog walks and drop-ins! I can accommodate for whether your dog likes more activity or needs a quiet and calm environment. I have experience dealing with dogs and other animals with anxiety and other medical or physical needs. I work from home at my own pace so I can accommodate different needs! Ideally, pet guests can be left at home alone for about an hour for errands and other events that come up. Please provide a crate if your dog cannot be left alone for over an hour. My home is responsible and dog safe with gates to prevent access to the kitchen. My yard is not fenced but I always keep dogs leashed.

“Lena has been amazing with our dogs. One of our dogs is nervous and anxious. She has spent lots of time getting him comfortable with her. She has shown great patience. We really appreciate her!”

Heather W.

“Adam is always quick to respond, communicative and was able to take my dog and an additional one we are dogsitting out today! And for a minor cost versus double. His style is laid back and easy while being on top of all the details. Would highly recommend!”

About: As a passionate and dedicated dog caregiver (and certified belly-rub expert), I have decades of experience in providing loving, personalized care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s epic walks, goofy play sessions, or cozy couch cuddles, I treat each dog like my own, making sure their day is just as awesome as they are. With a deep understanding of dog behavior and needs, I offer more than just pet sitting—I’m all about tail wags, happy barks, and ensuring every pup feels like the superstar they are. Your fur-baby is in good hands, whether we’re tackling zoomies or sharing some well-deserved ear scratches! As a digital artist who works from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and perfect for spending quality time with your furry friend! I start each day with a cup of coffee and a quick sketch, but my favorite part of the day is when I get to step away from the screen for some one-on-one time with the pups I care for. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk through the neighborhood or a cozy play session in the afternoon, I make sure each dog I care for gets plenty of love and attention. Throughout the week, I break up my art projects with regular walks, potty breaks, and cuddles, making sure your dog’s routine blends seamlessly with mine. My evenings are often spent winding down with some light painting, with a furry companion by my side, of course. This balance between my creative work and dog care means your pet will have constant companionship, attention, and plenty of outdoor time—whether it’s during a quick break or an afternoon adventure. My weekends are all about longer walks and outdoor fun. Whether we’re chasing a ball in the park or enjoying some quiet relaxation time, your dog will get the undivided, personalized attention they deserve, all while fitting right into my routine as a work-from-home artist. When it comes to caring for your furry family members, safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home for boarding or visiting your home for sitting or drop-ins, I strive to create a comfortable, loving environment where your pet feels completely at ease. If your dog stays with me, they’ll be part of the family! My home is pet-friendly, with cozy spots for relaxation, plenty of space for play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I make sure the environment is safe and secure, with constant supervision to ensure your pet is always happy, healthy, and well-cared-for. From daily walks to cuddle time, your dog’s routine will be catered to their needs, whether they prefer lounging or an active play session. I maintain a calm, structured atmosphere, and your dog will have plenty of outdoor time and regular exercise, including half-hour to hour-long walks, or even longer adventures, depending on their energy level. When I come to your home for sitting or drop-in visits, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I maintain your dog’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding times to playtime and walks. I know how important it is for your pet to feel safe in their familiar environment, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits and regular walks, from quick 30-minute strolls to as many hours as your dog needs to stay happy and content. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’m dedicated to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet. You can always count on me to provide a nurturing, reliable, and safe environment that puts your dog’s well-being first.

“Jyne came to my rescue when I needed a very last minute dog walker due to an injury. She was an absolute life saver and my dog absolutely adored her. Honey practically bounced off the walls whenever she came over to walk her. 10000/10 would definitely book her again! Thanks so much Jyne!!!”

About: I’m the devoted doggie aunt to some pretty fantastic pups, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Walks aren’t something I rush through—I’m happy to let your dog sniff, explore, get some exercise and enjoy being outside. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable following your dog’s particular routine, whether that means a brisk walk, a leisurely neighborhood sniffari, playtime or just some extra company and affection. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own—even though I’m still waiting for one of my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I can accommodate weekday and weekend visits and walks, including daytime hours when many people are at work. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and give them the time and attention they’re accustomed to. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and access to your home—is a big deal. I’m mature, dependable, communicative and respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow instructions carefully, pay attention to changes in behavior, and know how to stay calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness and affection.

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.

“Contentious, thoughtful, on time and compassionate about animals. John has a mellow demeanor that puts dogs at ease and is attentive and understanding of my reactive dog’s quirks. I would definitely recommend to friends and hire again! Thank you, John!”

About: I would love to care for your pet and provide them as much walks, runs, or scritches. I have taken care of cats and my rambunctious dog Kona as well as several rover friends when I was in college. I am prepared for all sorts of personalities and super excited to help out. I work from home most days so am happy to go on many walks and feed them on whatever schedule that they are accustomed to. We live near parks so the neighborhood is a convenient area to walk around. Our household has no pets and I only want to care for one pet at a time, so the home will be private and they will have our undivided attention. I live in the temescal Piedmont area and would love to take your pet out on frequent walks.
