Dog Walking Wingate

About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

“Alison came to our rescue with a last minute booking and she was great with both of my pups. One is very anxious and slow to warm up to people but warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely use her in the future :)”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have had animals in my life. In fact, animals are my life! So much so that I recently got my bachelors degree in zoology at Colorado State University. As an avid dog lover and a dog owner, I have had experience with dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and almost everything in between. I have also had cats since I was 6 years old! I love taking dogs on long walks so they can explore and I will even take them on runs. My favorite thing is seeing an animal happy so if what your animal wants is to veg out on the couch or run free at the dog park, I will be delighted to do both. Add-ons: I do also have a car so I can do pick ups and drop offs. I have had previous experience with administering medication to animals that need it and would be happy to do so if need be, depending on the method of administration. I have a job with different hours each week. I will do my best to update my calendar accordingly but may not be able to accommodate requests that require the same time every day for an extended period of time. I want to make sure your beloved animal is safe and comfortable so I am willing to follow very specific instructions to do so. I have lots of pets to give out!

About: I’ve always loved dogs and how unique each one of them are. To this day it amazes me how a pet can be your best friend , even if they can’t respond. They are the best listeners and the best huggers! I am home all day so I can take care of your fur children all day! It’s just my husband my daughters and I. Must be house trained .I do take more than one dog at once so please let me know if you want your dog to just be the only one here!! I have a 5 year old fur baby, I’m unsure his breed since we got him from a shelter but he’s super friendly , Also have 3 daughters daughter that loves animals just like me! I have a fully fenced yard as well!

About: I have taken care of and pet sat mat dogs of different sizes from a big German shepherd to a tinny little Chihuahua so there is no dog to big or to small for me to take care of I am currently in community college where I have one class for right now until December where the class ends then I have 3 classes in spring but I still always make time to do my job as my classes are only 1 hour and 20 minutes long and only two are on the same day so classes are short and easy! When it comes to taking care of any pets even my own I make sure to keep them on the same schedule they are used to as to make sure they don’t get stressed I also make sure to set alarms for set feeding times of any animal I watch over as well as playing with them and taking them out to use the bath room as needed I also will make sure that if I pet sit over night at someone’s house that the house will be perfectly clean when they come back and that there animal will be happy no matter what.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy! I have a cat of my own, Archie, and a dog, Stella, who are completely spoiled, and I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, and boundaries rather than treating every visit the same. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐶🐱💕 I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the needs of your pets. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, playtime, feeding, and other care around your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, maintain their normal routines, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and needs and will always communicate with you if anything seems unusual.

“Erica is AMAZING. She is so good with our dog and definitely keeps him active! She really maintains our training regimen and enforces what we’ve been working on with the dog. She’s our new go-to for walks and exercise!”

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about the age of 14. My cousin had 2 older Dachshunds (one was blind), and a Pomeranian. I have experience walking, feeding, brushing and playing with dogs. I also am flexible with accommodating older dogs medical needs, whether that be picking them up due to a back injury or making sure they don’t run into sharp objects if they have visual impairments. I believe all dogs no matter the size, age or breed should be given the right care and attention that they deserve. I want to gather as much experience taking care of as many breeds as possible, I plan to be a foster dog mom in the future. I currently have some availability on the weekends in the fall except when I am on vacation. I love taking care of pets and am available throughout the week and will be able to take your fur babies for lots of playtime outside. I enjoy walking and spending time in nature with pets. I love walking outside and am used to living in residential spaces. I have no issues with wiping your dogs paws with a wet wipe or paper towel if they get too dirty from walking outside.

About: I have had animals since before I was even born! Pets have always provided me with a sense of happiness and selflessness. I will always strive to make sure your animal is in the best possible care and is properly taken care of. I have experience with animals of all ages and sizes and will work to make sure their experience with me is nothing but great. I am a nursing student at Wingate University and love to spend my free time with my own pets, so why not help others with theirs? I am available almost everyday, with varying times in order to provide you with plenty of time options. I will always communicate with the owner to ensure that I am aware of all safety hazards and that I have completed all the steps needed to ensure a safe environment and walk for your lovely pets😀

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare.

Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own! I am a teacher and I am currently enjoying my summer off. I have tons of time to come play and care for your pets! I care for pets with a mix of love, attention, and routine. At home or at a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my 3-year-old Goldendoodle and 8-year-old Golden Retriever. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving both energetic and senior dogs the attention they need. I’m flexible and able to work around most schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays with advance notice, and I’ll always communicate clearly to confirm timing before each booking. When your pet is with me, you can expect consistent care, attention, and safety, including walks, playtime, feeding, and water checks exactly as instructed, along with a calm and patient approach for all dog personalities and energy levels. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every dog like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority at all times. I provide a calm, secure, and supervised environment where dogs are never left unattended during care, and I always follow owner instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable, whether they’re energetic or more laid-back. I also keep a clean environment and make sure pets are always in a safe space during visits or stays.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs my whole life. Dogs usually gravitate to me out of anyone else in the room. I’m a super active person so I am able to match the playful energy with doggies. I have a relatively flexible schedule and am able to stay overnight multiple nights if needed. I do sometimes have to leave for periods at a time but I never stay away from my animals too long. I have 3 dogs of my own, as well as one that routinely comes over to stay for week long periods. I have my dogs sleep in the bed with me so basically I am super comfortable with any furry friends. I feed morning and night as well as treats when appropriate.
