Dog Walking Wingate

“Awh nice pics! Thank you Jade!”

About: Loving and dependable dog walker with a big heart for furry friends and a true passion for what I do! I adore spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, making sure each pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and tail-wagging fun while their humans are away. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic adventure, I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care. With a natural understanding of canine behavior and open, friendly communication, I build strong bonds with both dogs and their owners—so you can feel completely at ease knowing your beloved pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. I am currently self-employed as a furniture refinisher so my availability is pretty flexible. All I ask for is a little advance notice, if possible at least a day, for a booking or cancelation. I'm more than happy to send you photo/video updates of our adventures while your away so that you know your loved one(s) in good hands!

“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: LIMITED TUESDAY/THURSDAY CARE!! I have lived with pets my entire life, but started caring for others at age 13. Since then, I’ve cared for a multitude of cats, dogs, turtles, amphibians, and chickens. I love walking dogs and being outside. I am able to provide oral medication and insulin shots to cats and dogs alike. I am a college student. I have commitments 8-1 M-Th, and am busy 1:30-5:30 T/Th. Aside from that, I can be pretty flexible. With advance notice, I can be available all day on weekends to hang out with your fur babies. I like to stick with your routine for your pet, following it as closely as possible to make this time easy and stress free for your pet. I can crate animals if desired, just reach out for expectations. I also send pictures at least daily (depending on care type) to ease any worries you may have.

“Laura was great! We were so grateful for her care and kindness to our dog Emma and also our cat Jack!”

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.

About: I have pet sit dogs and cats for 5 years including walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and any other tasks needed! I will care for your pets, keep the environment clean, and get the job done! I am a college student so I am free every week day after 3pm and all day on weekends, If needed before 3pm on weekdays I can work with you! I will walk your pet and can feed them as well as clean litter. I am willing to play with them and give them attention as well!

“Ashlie was great with Vivian! She was reliable and dependable and Vivian loved her daily walks. I would definitely recommend Ashlie if you are in need!”

About: Hi!! Born and raised in Alaska, I have my way down south to play soccer and study at Wingate University! A little bit about me - I had a dog for 18 years of my life and have taken care of every kind of dog (and other pets) since I was about 14. I LOVE animals and treat the ones I care for like my very own, which brings me not only joy but a lot of repeat customers! I also have experience fostering puppies/dogs. To add, I have experience with senior dogs and administering medicines. I am also very active and love getting outside/playing with your pets! I am a student athlete at Wingate University, however my schedule in the spring is fairly light. I have a couple classes in the morning and then am free for a couple hours during the day until practice at 4pm that usually lasts about 1-2 hours. I am completely free in the evening after that! Pet care would fit into my weekly routine per request of the client. Drop ins, walks, or check ins would be very doable, realistic, and enjoyable for me to do throughout the week! I care for the pets as I would care for my own. I take notes and make sure to follow all the clients requests about food, boundaries, behaviors, and anything else that is necessary. I also love to keep in touch with the client by sending them pictures/updates of their fur babies, especially if I am watching them for an extended period of time. If the client wanted to meet me prior to allowing me to care for their dog, I would gladly do so!

“Hannah was excellent with our animals. Whenever we had to make different accommodations she was very responsive and able to meet our needs. I will definitely be rebooking with Hannah as she took great care of our animals and they enjoyed her company as well.”

I love long walks, spending time outside, hiking, running, and all of the sorts. Also happy to lounge around and give your pet cuddles and pets if that's what makes them happiest!

About: I have had a passion since I was little. Started with volunteering at animal shelters, ended up training abused rescues. Wanted an easy job that involves my passion of helping and understanding animals. I do have part time work for a couple places including the school system. But I have more than enough time to take in extra animal care. I do have a fenced yard but we have a current dog with behavior issues. I always use a leash and maintain cleanliness and safety at others homes!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 15+ years now, which include dogs, cats, birds, lizards etc. I thoroughly enjoy watching their personalities develop as I get to know them. My favorite thing to do is watch my own German shepherd running to catch frisbees or playing catch with our football. I have cared for puppies/kittens up until senior age. Giving medication, feeding, walking and loving on them. I’m currently working part-time to take care of your animals and will have fun playing and loving on them while being there. I work Monday- Friday. Mornings until mid afternoon preferred. I take high precautions when taking care of a dog in someone else’s home by playing with them, letting them potty or taking them for a walk when needed. As well as communicating with clients to ensure their animal is in great care.

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 of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for and play with your pups. Can't wait to become your pet's bestfriend!!!! I’m comfortable going to your home to care for your pet. I always make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved in their own space. I follow instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.

About: I was raised with dogs my whole life. Iv done everything from helping with birthing to providing comfortable space for our fur babies to go to heaven I’m a stay at home dog mom. I enjoy being at home with my fur babies playing outside/enjoying the weather making happy memories and moments I have a fenced yard and two friendly girl fur babies that love to play with other dogs and get zoomies all around my spacious fenced yard.
