Dog Walking Whipporwill Ridge

About: Hi!! As a lifelong dog owner, caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to treating every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always bring patience, love, and reliability. What sets me apart is my personal connection to pet care — I’m not just a sitter, I’m someone who truly understands the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. You won’t just get someone to look after your pet—you’ll get someone who genuinely cares. Pet care fits easily into my lifestyle. I play basketball regularly and have scheduled workouts or weight training during certain parts of the day, but once that’s done, my schedule is wide open. I use that free time to focus on what I enjoy most — spending time with animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just hanging out with your dog, I’m flexible and reliable. Caring for pets blends perfectly into my routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to give them the attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a large front yard for supervised play and a long walking trail in my neighborhood that’s perfect for daily exercise. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and a great place for dogs of all ages — whether they’re energetic puppies or mellow seniors. I also have one friendly, playful female dog who loves having company. You can trust that I’ll treat your pup like family, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: Raised and cared for many dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I am a calm individual with emergency training. I am comfortable with dogs that’s may have certain behavioral issues. we all need love and guidance!!!! I have owned a dog in all stages of my life and believe that their presence make this world a little easier. The owning n watching of pets has greatly improved my lifestyle helping me to stay active and in nature. Your dog will not be left unsupervised in any situation and crated if 100% necessary. Potty breaks, play, and mental stimulation will be often and fun. I am sure to follow any special instructions and learn your pets.

About: I’ve watched young puppies to older puppies and cat and treated every animal with love and respect so they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I work online so my daily work is flexible. I can work anywhere and adapt my schedule to spend time with pets throughout the day. I am great at following or creating helpful routines or help the animals feel safe and access food,water, play, sleep, walks, and fun outside activities.

About: I have always been an animal lover and have been caring for my own pets and others for over 10 years. I treat all animals as if they were my own. I am very dependable, trustworthy and willing to go the extra mile to make sure your furbaby is well taken care of while you are gone. I will be teaching at the start of the school year but will still be able to work around for morning and afternoon drop ins and available weekends or on breaks! I currently have a dog and two cats. They get along great with other animals. In my neighborhood we have paths to walk and I do have a golfcart for a pup ride.

About: My love for animals began at a very young age, but to pin point, it would be 2006 when I brought my labrador retriever named Jasmine home. I grew up learning how to train and take care of Jasmine, and then a chunky pug Tony, two bunnies and three cats. In more recent years, my husband and I have our own family, a 7 year old golden retriever named Aspen, a 5 year old black cat named Kona, a 3 year old siamese mix, a 2 year old black cat named Peter and a one year old golden retriever named Magnolia! Friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets for 15+ years. I am available Monday through Friday from 9am-8pm for drop-ins and walks. But I am always willing to negotiate with you for you and your pets needs! *** Cat boarding drop off/pick up hours are 8am-8pm Mon-Sun YOU WILL BE CHARGED A $25 FEE FOR LATE PICK UP! NO EXCEPTIONS! *** In regards to cat boarding, we have an entire basement closed off to our pets so your feline friends are safe and comfortable. Water/food bowls, toys, a cat tree and a litter box will be provided. I understand the time and attention any pet needs, but especially cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet your dog or cat and understand their personality as well as their needs!

About: After 17 years with my own beloved dog, I understand how much pets mean to their families. I care for every animal as if they were my own—with compassion, patience, and dependability. Special Skills: Senior pet care, medication administration (oral/topical), maintaining routines, leash handling, basic obedience reinforcement, and attentive communication with photo updates. Being retired allows me to keep a very flexible schedule and tailor my time to your pet’s needs. Aside from occasional appointments, gym time, church on Sundays, and brief errands, your pet will receive my full attention and care. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is safety, cleanliness, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand that pets feel most secure in their own environment, and I work hard to keep their schedule consistent to reduce stress and separation anxiety. I provide frequent walks, interactive playtime, and plenty of companionship to prevent boredom. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals — cuddles included! Whether your pet prefers quiet companionship or active engagement, I adjust to their personality and needs. I am respectful of your home and treat it with the same care and integrity I would expect in my own. You can trust that I will keep your space clean, secure, and well-maintained while you’re away. Doors are double-checked, safety is always top of mind, and communication is consistent. If your pet has specific feeding routines, slow feeders, elevated bowls, medications, or other special requirements, I am happy to follow instructions carefully to ensure their comfort and well-being. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

“Tatiana was fantastic. Took great care of my dog and even sent pictures after the walk. Oakley definitely got his exercise for the day. Thanks again!!”

About: I have had a dog for 11 years now, and both my mom and I are her primary caretakers. I LOVE dogs (more than humans)! My family knows me as the crazy dog girl and love to tease me about it. I have volunteered at an animal shelter and taken care of neighbors' dogs as well. I also watch my cousin's dogs while they are out of the house. Your pet will get plenty of belly rubs and playtime with me! I have over 3 years of pet sitting experience! I recently returned from a year of teaching English in South Korea. While in South Korea, I fell in love with their dog cafes and would constantly go there. I currently teach English online, so my job works perfectly for house sitting! I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with other dogs (as long as they don't come to our house- she gets territorial at home). I would love to take them to the dog park or on a walk together! If your pet doesn't like other animals, I would love to cuddle up with them on the couch or play fetch with them. I tend to spoil my dog- I let her sleep in my bed whenever she wants and go outside with her whenever she asks me to, but I will respect whatever the house rules are with your pets!

About: I have cared for friends and families furry friends since the age of 15. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets on numerous occasions and this combined with my love of animals has led me to seek jobs caring for your fur babies and creating a communicative, trustworthy and reliable service to provide to those in my community. I generally have availability Monday through Wednesday afternoons, and all day Thursday through Sundays to attend to all your pet's needs, from going on walks and helping your furry friends get their much needed exercise, to feeding and playtime. I am all about open communication and am very responsive to any inquiries. I know when I go out of town, I love to see photo updates of my feline friends and give my clients the same. I want to build and establish professional relationships with the people in my community and gain their confidence that they can rely on me to take care of their best friends.

“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! While I was out of town on a business trip, she took exceptional care of my sweet dog, Nola, and gave me complete peace of mind. She was always prompt, incredibly reliable, and very thorough with her updates and report cards after every walk. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves dogs. My pup absolutely adored her and was always excited to greet her at the door! Knowing that Nola was not only well cared for, but also happy and loved while I was away meant so much. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly wonderful with dogs, Rachael is the best!”

About: i’ve taken care of dogs every since i was around 6. I’m grown up with dogs as well and training them and teaching them new tricks. I have neighbors, friends, and family i would always dog walk and sometimes stay overnight with them too. Pet care fits in my daily routine because I’m a college student and between classes and after I have a lot of time and would give it all to the dogs. Also, I have a fur friend of my own that goes everywhere with me so he fits in my routine as well. I will care for your pets by treating them like they are mine. I will treat them kind and careful, however I will also be stern when I have to be.

About: Growing up, dogs have always been a part of my family. I know how to adapt to set feeding schedules and how to help enforce training. Many family members, neighbors, and close friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while they are out of town. We have recently added a young puppy into the family which has helped me to refresh my skills with young pets. I am an 18 year old college student who is back home for the summer. Meaning pet care is my number one priority and I can schedule appointments anytime. In whatever environment I might be in I aim to create a safe and calm space for your pets. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs on leaches, whether big or small breeds, I can also learn how to identify the needs of the dogs that I am taking care of.

I will keep your dog safe at all times and quickly tend to any issues or needs that arise. We limit boarding & day-care to just one dog at a time. Our house is in a very low-traffic cul-de-sac, with a 1/4 acre fenced back yard.
