Dog Walking Willow Grove

“Liz took great care of Cooper while I was away for a short trip. She did several drop in visits each day, kept me updated, and made the whole experience very easy. Cooper also needed medication, and she gave it without any issues. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands, and I’d definitely book with her again.”

“Hannah was really nice with Mikey and I’d definitely be using her again!!”

“Luie is one of the best dog walkers. He took care of our yorkie Zoey for several months walking her 3 days a week for 30 minutes. Zoey always looked forward to her walks with Luie. If you need a reliable dog walker for your fur baby then look no further.”

“Margaret is great with our puppy Stanley, and she always sends updates and photos!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life. From dogs to cats to exotics. My pathway in school was for animal science which I have my certification from that class. I also have worked at a vet before so I would say I definitely have some experience! Right now I mostly work from home so I’m pretty flexible. Whether that be for boarding or potty breaks I can pretty much make anything work. I have a section of my yard fenced off so they can just go out and potty but also love to take them for walks in my neighborhood! If they get along with other dogs great! If not I can manage to keep everyone separate if boarding is preferred at my house.

About: Over the past year, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications to senior dogs and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and consistently. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When I house sit, I also take great pride in caring for your home. I always aim to leave it cleaner than I found it, so you can come home to happy pets and a tidy, well-cared-for space. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing both your furry family members and your home are in caring, reliable hands. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week as well as house sit for as long as you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

About: I've been working with animals since I was a child, helping my mother train and foster dogs and cats. I went into the zookeeping industry to level up my animal husbandry skills, so I'm able to handle most animals big and small. I have experience working in an animal shelter with dogs and cats. I have an open and flexible schedule, and I don't mind waking up early or coming in late to walk or check in on your dog. I have worked with over 50 foster dogs and I am experienced in animal husbandry. If your dog has any special needs or medications or anything else I can accommodate that quite easily. My goal is to make sure your pet is properly attended to and all of it's needs are met.

About: I always grew up with animals and went into college studying pre-veterinary medicine. I worked closely with veterinarian at an animal hospital gaining experience and knowledge on how to care for animals. My daily routine is organized and dependable, allowing me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I make sure they stay on their normal schedule with feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for animals to run around in. And a good trunk space and seat accommodations for car rides.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I’m very active, so your dog won’t just get a quick walk—they’ll get quality exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I’m patient and attentive, which makes me great with both puppies and senior dogs. I can help reinforce basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and simple commands for puppies, and I’m gentle and understanding with older dogs who may need a slower pace or extra care. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable—and to make your life easier too. Caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life, so it fits seamlessly into my routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. I structure my week to make sure every pet gets consistent attention, love, and care without feeling rushed. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel safe and comfortable. I create a calm, loving environment with lots of attention and affection. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always make sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you never feel out of the loop.

About: I was raised around dogs since childhood, and have always been involved with animal rescue since I had my own place. We have dogs and cats of our own, and they enjoy having fluffy friends to play with as much as we do! I’m currently available during the day full time, and only work part-time at night. So there’s a lot of availability for either dog walks, emergency boarding needs, or doggy daycare options. We have a fenced in yard out back, and crate-and-rotate when needed. I am experienced in handling all behaviors of dogs, from the fearful/shy to the escape artist.

About: I have had plenty of animals since I was young. i’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and other reptiles. I have a little experience in training as well. I do work full time with wednesday and sundays off so those days i’m free. I have my own animals that I care for as well no problem. I have two friendly dogs that love new friends for a play date, I also have extra bowls and an extra large crate if needed.

About: I grew up on a farm in Maryland and were around animals daily! My business is financially affordable and will give you peace of mind that your pet or pets will be taken care of when you are not at home. I’am not working anywhere else at this time and have the time to love and care for customer’s pets. I will follow all my customers instructions to ensure their pets safety and general well being. Sorry I don’t watch pets in my home. I feel your pets are more comfortable in their own homes. Pets feel more relaxed in their own environment.

About: I am a dedicated and compassionate individual with a deep understanding of the physical and emotional needs of animals. I currently own two dogs of my own. A huge goldendoodle and a tiny yorkie, so I know how to handle many sizes of animals. I also have experience as a kennel tech. Im experienced in feeding. Administering medication and monitoring animal health, always prioritizing their wellbeing and comfort. I treat each animal I meet with the respect and love they deserve. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I hope I get the chance to meet you and your fury bestie/ besties soon My availability is always open. I will not have other commitments other than your fur baby/babies. Once booking they are my priority. I also I make sure I have lots of communication if wanted/needed when your dogs with me! As I would be coming to your home, I will do exactly as told, by you the owner. My main priority is your animals health and well-being.

About: For me, pet care has never been just a job—it's been a lifelong passion. I was raised in a family of professional trainers and boarders, where I learned from an early age how to properly care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. We also spent countless hours working alongside local shelters, helping dogs build confidence and prepare for their forever homes. Professionally, I have over 20 years of experience working in boarding, training assistance, behavioral rehabilitation, and pet care. In 2012, I began my career as a professional dog groomer and later became certified to groom both dogs and cats. In 2020, I became certified to train new groomers as they worked toward their professional certifications. Today, I combine all of that experience to provide a calm, loving, and individualized experience for every pet in my care. My Specialties I specialize in creating fear-free, low-stress experiences built on patience, trust, and compassion. Some of my areas of expertise include: • Fear-free handling and grooming • Trauma rehabilitation grooming for pets who cannot safely visit traditional salons due to fear, anxiety, or behavioral concerns • Senior pet care • Puppy care and socialization • Pets with medical or mobility challenges • Basic training and reinforcement of good manners • Administering medications while carefully monitoring for symptoms or side effects One of my greatest passions is helping fearful dogs learn that grooming and handling don't have to be scary. Rather than forcing pets through services, I work at their pace, building trust over time with the goal of helping them become comfortable and confident again. Many of my clients come to me after being turned away from traditional grooming salons due to behavioral or medical concerns. What Your Pet Can Expect I strive to make every stay feel like a vacation with family rather than simply boarding. Your pet may enjoy: • Daily walks (typically 2-4 per day, while following your normal routine whenever possible) • Plenty of one-on-one attention and affection • Playtime, enrichment, and exercise • Trips to the dog park (with your permission and only if appropriate for your pet) • Picture, video, and message updates throughout their stay • A calm, loving home environment where they are treated like family One unique tradition many pets come to love is bedtime story time. It may sound unusual, but quietly reading aloud has helped many anxious dogs relax before bed. I've even seen it help dogs experiencing storm anxiety or fear of loud noises settle more comfortably. Routine is incredibly important to me. If your pet has a specific schedule, feeding routine, medication plan, or bedtime ritual, I'll do everything possible to maintain it while they're in my care. Because of my experience working with behavioral and medical cases, I also pay close attention to subtle changes in your pet's behavior, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being. If I notice anything concerning, I'll communicate with you immediately and act quickly in your pet's best interest. Communication & Grooming I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet care. The more I know about your pet's personality, routines, preferences, and medical history, the better experience I can provide. In return, you'll receive detailed updates about how they're doing, including behavior, activities, and anything I notice that may be helpful for you to know. During boarding or daycare stays, I'm also happy to reinforce basic training and offer guidance on grooming maintenance, body language, and behavioral changes that may strengthen your bond with your pet at home. Professional grooming services are available for pets staying in my care. Grooming recommendations, pricing, and service completion depend on your pet's size, coat condition, medical needs, and stress level. My philosophy is simple: I will never force a pet through a service. Their comfort, trust, and emotional well-being always come first. Booking Information To help protect my home while still providing every pet with the highest level of care, the estimated price for boarding and daycare includes a refundable cleaning/security fee. This fee is fully refunded after your pet's stay provided there is no excessive damage or extraordinary cleaning required beyond normal pet messes. I believe this allows me to continue offering a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every guest while being fair to both pet parents and my home. My goal is simple: every pet should leave my care feeling safe, loved, understood, and excited to come back. I am generally home all day. I do work as a groomer for pets that are unable to got to salons, but I do this from home as well. So your pets will have round the clock love and care. You will need to provide any food and specific treats if your pet has a favorite or dietary restrictions/allergies. Pets are family. I will personally take them for walks throughout the day for fresh air and exercise, play with them and ensure they feel comfortable and lived while you are away. I do offer creating services, however, depending on the size of your dog, you may have to supply the crate. You pet will always be treated like family, but the details of their routine and activities will depend on your instructions. I respect that different lifestyles require different things (i.e crating vs free roam, scheduled feeding vs grazing, scheduled walks/potty breaks vs whenever they want to go out, etc.) and will maintain that sense of normalcy as much as possible. If you opt for grooming, and I am able to comfortably groom your dog, grooming will take place 1-2 days before your return. That way they have time to decompress after, and if they are stressed for parts, it gives leeway to do little bits over time.

About: I genuinely love animals. I grew up with two dogs and a cat. I’ve watched over other family dogs and cats for weeks and even months at a time. I work at most 6 hour shifts per day and 4 days per week so I have plenty of free time for play, walking and cuddles. I currently live with one pup who I walk daily before work and we love going on hikes or to the lake on a nice day

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take pride in providing dependable, compassionate, and personalized care for every pet I look after. I understand that every pet has different personalities, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make each one feel comfortable, safe, and loved. What sets me apart is that I treat your pets like family. I’m dependable, communicative, detail-oriented, and committed to following your instructions and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I want you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my day and making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m reliable and organized, and I’m comfortable adjusting my routine to accommodate a pet’s individual schedule and needs. I care for pets with patience, compassion, and attention to their individual needs. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and companionship. I also respect the home by keeping things clean and providing regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.
