Dog Walking Whitman

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.

“Amanda was very patient with my pups and took time to understand them. She asked good questions and gave updates to put my mind at ease! My pups looked happy and healthy when I got home. Definitely recommended for all your pet watching needs!”

About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing. At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability for walks and drop ins! I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! For pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.

“Sterling takes amazing care of my hyper handul of a belgian malinois/husky mix, Fergie always seems happy and well taken care of when i come home on the weekends, she goes above and beyond walking my pup farther and longer than the minimum of 30 mimutes and i greatly appreciate that, thank you!”

“Ella was great! She was able to come in last minute and do exactly what I requested. She’s very communicative and helpful. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: We have dogs, snakes, and a bunny. We have kept exotic pets for the past 10 years and love caring for all animals! Even the grouchy ones 😊 Our dogs eat at 12:30 and at 6:30 each day with frequent trips outside. They are friendly and we keep them trained to eat only out of their own bowls. Pet care is daily life in our home (with my spouse) and we both take pride in our relationships with animals I will frequently check for assent amongst pets to ensure safety and wellbeing. If animals need to be separated, we live in our finished basement and work upstairs, making it easy to both separate and engage with all the animals frequently. Any instructions will be religiously followed. I am getting my masters in behavior analysis so I am ALWAYS aware of the dynamics of our animals and animal guests!

About: I got my first dog Ginger (Golden Retriever) when I was very young maybe about four or five years old. When she had puppies, I helped my parents take care of them. After Ginger, I grew up around several other dogs including Labrador Retrievers, a Schnauzer, Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Great Pyrenees. I have had six years experience caring for my partner's Shepsky who is high anxiety including separation anxiety and when my mom is out of town for an extended period of time I care for her dog which includes medication administration. I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule and the summer off from school so I can adapt to your needs as a pet sitter! When caring for pets in a client's home, I first like to conduct a meet and greet to learn your pet's specific routine with tasks like feeding and potty breaks and medications and scheduled administration if any. I will stick to this to reduce anxiety and excel at providing consistent communication with photo updates as needed. I also believe in respecting a client's home and belongings and abide by the "leave a place better than you found it" rule.

About: I have trained a puppy of my own as young as 8 weeks, including potty training and basic skills. I care to love and respect every animal as I do see them as small and unique souls! I am currently working a remote job part time and am looking for another job to add more routine, get me outside and active, and around animals. With provided materials, I feel fully comfortable hosting or providing care to animals based on the owners preferences. I live in a very walkable area and would love to be more active in my own day to day routine.

About: I have a deep passion for CARE. I love providing things for people and recently have discovered even animals! Not only do I care for them but I also realize they give me joy! So its a mutual type of caring :) I do music for my job at the university but I figured it would be good to also get some other income but through pet sitting! I prefer to care for dogs! Small and medium dogs as I am small and medium ahha! To talk with the animals and give attention and be playful is so key! You treat them as if they were your child too! They have feelings and a heart too!

About: Hello! I'm Taylor! My husband and I moved here from the Midwest a couple years ago and loved it so much we bought our first home! We brought our tuxedo cat, Benedict Mongoose "Goose" Cumberbatch, and our 15-year-old (but you wouldn't know it) puggle, Chuck, along for the ride, and they cannot wait to make friends with your fur babies! I am also more than happy to be available for pop-ins, walks, home/pet sitting, you name it! My love for animals is as old as I am. I grew up with sibling pairs of Great Danes, Shih Tzus, Rot/Lab mixes, and German Shepherds. I started caring for and riding horses at 10, helping at my Aunt Lucy's Paso Fino ranch, eventually riding Thoroughbreds and Arabians, learning new saddles and techniques, and volunteering my time caring/mucking for therapy horses at a nonprofit working with disabled children and adults through riding. I carried my love of animals through every stage of life. Helping people and caring for dogs, cats, horses, birds, homes, and the odd niece/nephew (easy when there are 32 of them) have been my life's constant joy. I am lucky to be able to work remotely as an independent contractor; this gives me flexibility throughout the day. I am able to provide near constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Your fur baby will never be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt to their usual daily needs such as feeding and walking schedule. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly resident pets: Chuck, our spry 15-year-old puggle who enjoys helping out in the garden, bunny hopping in the yard, hard-core cuddle sessions, and playing with his brother Goose (the cat), who likes dogs but also has plenty of high up hiding space, inaccessible to furry visitors. I ensure a safe, balanced environment by supervising all pet interactions closely. My home offers a structured routine, plenty of open space to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for bedtime or safety.

About: I offer over 15 years of pet care experience to animals both large and small. My background includes professional work experience in animal care, working as a stablehand and caring for large animals at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Washington State University in 2018. I am passionate about dog training and enjoy working with young dogs. We also have two fish tanks, so I have knowledge and experience caring for aquatic friends. I am a current pet mom and hybrid worker looking to help others with their pet care needs during my flex days at work on Mondays and Fridays. I offer flexibility in scheduling and am happy to complete walks around your local neighborhood or specific area nearby. I have a fenced back yard and single-story floorplan with a dog to keep yours company during the day! I am comfortable with adhering to more structured care plans and offer space for kenneling if needed.

“Two weeks so far with Jalai and our Remi has been enjoying her walks and time with her. She gives us detailed walk reports and we love the pictures she sends us of our girl. Highly recommend Jalai, as we will continue to go to her :)”
