Dog Walking West End

About: Hello! I'm a 40yo female and long time animal lover. I had a small farm in Texas and I've always had xlarge breed dogs since being on my own. I am well versed in handling dogs and any protective behaviors, as well as any exercise level you need supported. I also have done shots (in horses), giving pills, and handling any ointments your pets may need. My current schedule is open, so I can come to you, whenever it's needed. I am currently working on a Bachelor's Degree and have a very flexible schedule; I can do walks and overnight stays to keep your pet comfortable whenever you need. My pets always had a schedule, so I'm happy to help keep you and your pets stay on a regular schedule. I am used to dogs needing walks and meal time in the mornings and the evenings, as well as some breaks in the afternoon; just let me know your needs and we'll get it worked out.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up I was around breeds such as Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Chows, German Shepards, Poodles and Lhasa Apsos. The first time I became a dog mom was to Zoe, a Bichon Frise. I lived in Chicago at the time in an apartment so I had to walk her multiple times a day. Bichons also need a lot of maintenance with their fur, so I’m very familiar with grooming methods of that type of breed. After Zoe, I became a dog mom to a Pit Bull/German Shepherd puppy, Garner. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and had him for 13.5 years. I understand the level of care a puppy needs as well as a senior dog. I’m also very familiar with handling large breeds on a leash. I understand how a pet is part of the family and I will show your dog lots of love and affection, just like I would my own. I am available Monday-Friday 8am-2pm then from 6pm-8pm. I’m available 7am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact me if you need help outside of those times and I can try to work with you. I’m not able to keep your dog in my home, but I will always make sure your dog is safe in your home. I will always follow your safety protocols.

“I am so grateful for Kris! She is so kind and accommodating. Our dogs are a little high maintenance (one has some behavioral issues and the other has special needs) and she was more than happy to take care of them. In the past when we’ve had a poor experience with other walkers my dogs are stressed when I get home. Every time Kris has taken care of my dogs they seem so calm and content! She leaves detailed notes about the visit and sends lots of pictures, which I appreciate. She also stopped by to meet them beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. I would 100% recommend her services and will continue to book with her!”

About: I was born and raised with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I’ve never known a time in my life without animals! From farm animals to household pets, I’ve cared for them all. I’m a big proponent of positive reinforcement and prioritize gentle care and minimal stress for your pet. I’m comfortable with complex medical needs, seniors, and "quirky" pets. I’m happy to adhere to routines and training for continuity. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care that I treat my own ❤️ I’m doing animal care full time at the moment so I have a flexible schedule. I can work in midday drop ins, late night check ins, and multiple visits. Whatever works best for you! I’m happy to take your pup on neighborhood walks, play in the yard, or go on outings to Sniffspots or parks. I’ll drop in and check on your cats, give them affection if they’re comfortable, or spend time doing enrichment activities. I’ll treat your home with the same respect as I would my own and can take care of house sitting chores while you’re out of town. At my home, I have a large fenced yard and four very playful dogs. A large greenway runs through my neighborhood and is shaded for year round walks. I can crate your pup separately as needed.

About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 10 years of pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! 😊 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for rather than trying to squeeze them in around a traditional workday. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, whether that’s a regular part of your pet’s weekly routine or a little extra help when you need it. I’m intentional about how I schedule bookings, so I’m not rushing from one pet to the next. For house sitting, I make your home my home base while you’re away and plan my day around your pets and their normal routine. I may come and go throughout the day, just as I would at home, but I’m mindful of how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure they get plenty of time, attention, and company. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.

“Olivia walked our basset hound for quite awhile and was highly reliable and communicative. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have lots of experience with walking, exercising, play dates, overnight pet sitting, washing, brushing, feeding, and giving them medicine. No problems with large dog breeds or with lifting elderly pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available weekdays as well as weekends for walking, over nights stays, washing, playtime, feeding, etc. I will always ensure to arrive in a timely manner and show your pet the upmost love and care. I have a fenced in back yard, exercise equipment as well as 5 different toys for my dog to play with. I walk them daily, wash them as needed and ensure they get fed in a timely manner.

“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.

About: Professionally, I have 5 years of experience watching animals. Much more with personal experience, having owned animals almost my whole life on and off. I also fostered puppies, and recently adopted a 15 week old lab mix. (8 months old now) She is very friendly and also loves cats (the white lab with freckles in most pics). I also have 2 cats that are VERY good with dogs. Cats take more time, but I have cat rooms with cat walls, and spaces to separate if necessary. They will get all the love and care they need. Some cats adjust same day and fit right in. Some take more time, or don’t want to be bothered during their stay. Either way, we make sure to take very good care of them. I have a lot more experience with smaller/medium breeds, and prefer small to medium dogs. Our home is big with plenty of space, and we have a park close to us that we enjoy walking to often. I am fairly active, so they will get plenty of excercise between myself, husband and kids for dogs staying overnight. I work from home, so am very flexible around school drop offs and pickups. I can take 1-2 dogs overnight, and I promise they will get the love and attention they need. I have 1 older girl who help me keep a close eye on things. For dogs that get into things, we block off back rooms to keep them close for safety reasons. We have baby gates and clean very well before visits.

“Ashley was fantastic. She is punctual, friendly and truly loves what she does. I have her booked for weekly appointments with my pup. I cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Because I’ve always had pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your furry family members. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I’m here to provide dependable, caring support for your pets. I’m currently a senior in high school, and my class schedule is very flexible. I only have classes from 2:05-3:45, which means I’m available most of the day for pet care. This allows me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding schedules, and giving your pets the attention they need. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, I respectfully follow the pet’s normal schedule like handling feedings, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any special instructions you provide. No matter where the care takes place, I’m committed to offering reliable, loving, and attentive service so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. Dogs are my favorite and I treat them as part of the family. I currently stay at home and homeschool my son. I have a very flexible schedule. In saying that, I am willing to work around your schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard that your dogs can run free in and have a great time. Or they have space to just lay in the sun, like most dogs enjoy doing at times :)

“My dogs love Annie! Even my dog who typically does not like other people loves the little treats Annie brings and the walks she takes them on. My dogs were well taken care of and got to socialize with Annie's dog during their boarding stay. Annie is flexible and reliable and goes out of her way to be helpful. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a professional trainer for over 15 years. I love puppies, small dogs, and bully breeds in particular. I am comfortable giving medications and providing custom care. Looking after your pets is my number once focus everyday and throughout the week. They are the first thing I take care of when I wake up and the last thing I take care of when I go to sleep. Dogs will be crated when not supervised. Backyard is fully fenced. Free time in the yard and house while supervised. Professional training available as well.

“Chelsea is a caring and responsible walker. She makes sure to communicate, she is always willing to help out and I know our dogs are in good hands. One time our dogs made a huge mess at home, she called, gave me an update and not only cleaned the dogs up themselves but also the mess they caused. We thought we would come home to trash and other things all over the place but we could barely tell anything was a miss! Will continue to work with her.”
