Dog Walking Winndale

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a past dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring. I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work 3 nights a week and make plenty of time for walks and play time. I live on my own and provide a safe, quiet home environment. I have no pets in my apartment. The complex does provide a spacious dog park and the silver comet trail with plenty of safe walking space.

About: As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I enjoy keeping active dogs moving with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions so they feel comfortable while you’re away. If you’re working on training, I’m also happy to reinforce the commands and routines you already use so your dog gets consistency even when you’re not there. Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy, a potty break and playtime during the day, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll treat them with the same care I give my own dogs. Looking for reliable daytime pet care? I’m generally available weekdays from 9 AM–2 PM for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’d love to help keep your pet active, happy, and cared for while you’re at work or away. I’m an experienced dog owner who understands that every dog has a different personality, routine, and energy level. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, a relaxed stroll with plenty of sniffing, or a drop-in for a potty break, playtime, and attention, I’ll tailor my visit to what your pet needs. I’m also happy to reinforce the commands and training routines you already use at home so your dog receives consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including leash and harness preferences, feeding instructions, medications, and any household rules. On walks, I’ll keep your dog securely leashed and pay close attention to their surroundings, including other dogs, traffic, weather, and anything that may make them uncomfortable or reactive. I’ll treat your home with respect and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for over 30 years. I have experience with senior dogs with health issues including special feedings. I work as an EMT and have a flexible schedule. I am available at different times of the day in order to care for your pets' needs. I keep all pets on a leash and my concern for their safety is of utmost importance. I would like to know any special requests that you have in regards to safety.

About: •Dog walking: I have two energetic Labrador Retrievers . Saying so I have great patience with being pulled to smell plants or even the excitement of seeing other people being pulled. So while away you can be comforted knowing your dog isn’t being jerked or punished for just being a dog. They’ll have enough time to get some of that crazy or little energy they do have. So when you arrive home you can smile knowing they got a little adventure out of their day. •Dog sitting/Check-ins: It’s nerve wrecking trusting someone with your best friend. Having my own two dogs I would treat your baby with highest quality of care. Plenty of bathroom breaks, with time to get a breath of fresh air from being inside. Time devoted for playtime to keep your best friend busy so there will be little time for any accidents. I am currently work from home full-time with extra time in-between my schedule. I have plenty of time to do drop in visits to give your fur babies the care they need. So your time apart is less stressful on you and as well as them while missing you. Care in client home: You are trusting me to come into your home and take care of your loved one. I will give your pet the upmost respect and love you’d give. I know personally how stressful it can be wondering if someone is giving your pet enough water or being fed properly. I want to make this time apart easy on the both of you. I have such a high expectation for those who watch my dogs so i want to give your pets the best care possible. In my home care: While not being in your pets comfort zone away in a different spot. I can promise they will get plenty of love and comfort. I allow my dogs on my couch where they get plenty of cuddles as well as in my bed. They do sleep with me off and on. I know it can be a little hesitant with a little one around. But I make sure my daughter respects pets boundaries and does not crawl all over them or put them into an uneasy situation.

About: Experience You Can Trust & A Backyard To Explore! I am a lifelong animal lover with years of professional pet-sitting experience. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, my goal is to make sure your pets feel like they are on a vacation of their own while you are away. Why Choose Me? • Professional Background: I have extensive experience working for a pet-sitting company, providing everything from daily drop-ins to multi-day care. • Large, Fully Fenced Yard: Our home features a big, secure backyard with plenty of trees and enrichment to keep your pup happy and active. • Medical & Special Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering oral medications. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing a gentle touch, I can adapt to their specific needs. • Mature Environment: My children are between 12 and 18, so your pet will enjoy an active but predictable home without the unpredictability of toddlers or very young kids. • Safe for All Personalities: We have two dogs and one cat of our own. If your dog isn't a fan of felines, don't worry—our cat can comfortably stay in her own dedicated spare bedroom during the visit. What Your Pet Can Expect: • Daily Updates: I send photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your "furbaby" is in great hands. • Personalized Care: Fresh water, feeding, walks, and plenty of one-on-one playtime. • The Comforts of Home: Light baths and treats (as directed!) are always included. I know how hard it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I treat every guest as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, loved, and well-cared for. I offer daily drop-ins within 10 miles and overnight boarding in my home. My Schedule & Availability I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets! • 7-Day Availability: I am available for boarding and drop-ins Monday through Sunday. • Highly Flexible Routine: While I work part-time as a substitute teacher (usually around 10 hours a week, none in the summer), I am home the rest of the time. • Constant Companionship: During the brief hours I am at school, my 18-year-old son or my brother is home to keep the pups company. Both are fantastic with animals, so your pet will have constant supervision and love. • Customized Sleeping Arrangements: I am happy to accommodate your pet's sleeping habits. Whether they prefer to be crated at night or sleep on a dog bed, the choice is yours. I have crates available if needed, or you are welcome to bring your own! • Service Area: I offer daily drop-in visits and potty breaks within a 10-mile radius of my home. Safety & Trust: My Home Environment I prioritize a safe, stress-free environment for every guest. Here is how I manage my home to ensure your pet is well-cared for: • Social Dynamics: I have two dogs of my own: a lovable Golden Retriever who enjoys making new friends and a senior Rat Terrier mix who appreciates a calm environment. I am very experienced in monitoring play styles to ensure everyone is having a good time. • The Cat "Safe Zone": We have a resident cat, but I have a dedicated spare room where she can stay comfortably if your dog is not "cat-friendly." This allows your pup to have full run of the main living areas without any stress. • Secure Supervision: Your pet will never be left unattended in my fully fenced yard. Whether we are playing outside or going for a walk in the neighborhood, safety is my first priority. • Flexible Care Options: * In-Home Boarding: For pets staying with me, I offer structure, exercise, and companionship. • House Visits: I provide reliable drop-ins for bathroom breaks or multiple daily visits if you prefer your pet to stay in the comfort of their own home. I would love to do a meet and greet prior to your stay if time allows.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for years, and I’m the go‑to person friends rely on when they need someone responsible to look after their pets.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that i have a good grip on the needs and wants of the animals. I also have servel years of experience in dealing with large dogs. I have quite a bit of free time, though i go out on Wednesday and Friday, and I might be getting a job soon, so I am not sure how much time I will have further on. I care for them both in and outside the house, with attention, care, treats, and anything else that the dog or cat might need or want.

About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm almost 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible, so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡

“5 out of 5 stars ! She was a perfect handler for rusty. Provided an in depth and detailed Rover Card, preformed all tasks and was very punctual. Will book again.”

About: I have worked for a vet with both Cats and Dogs. I have owned Dogs all my life and currently own a rescue of my own as well as a horse. I am very familiar with both Cats and Dogs behavior from working in a vet. Services I provide: Walking Feeding-tell me how they like it(you provide the food) If you need me to check in on them I will Baths with possible brush out-Any size under 50 lbs (you provide shampoo and brushes)(Bath will be given at owners house) I will love your furry friend as if it is my own. I do have minor limitations on Cat litter as I am allergic to the dust but if you need me to sift it I can do so. I can leave you notes on how your pet did if you prefer. I have worked with dogs with Hip dysplasia and know how to help them when they need it most (i.e. helping make sure they do not fall going up or down stairs)...I help elderly pets as well and watch to make sure they eat.

About: I am now an officially licensed and insured business named “Purr & Grrr LLC.” I’ve had my own dog and cat for the past 15 years. I have also house sitted and watched other dogs and cats as well. I’ve worked as a practice manager at a pet hospital for years. Due to recent events, I will not take dogs that are not neutered for boarding. My cat stays in my bedroom with no interactions with any of the dogs. I usually ask with requests about excessive barking, crate training, how they sleep, and how they interact with other dogs. ADDED SERVICE - At request, my girlfriend does Reiki for people and pets. $55 charge per session for animals and $100 for a 60 minute session for people. Mini sessions for $60. When booking, please let me know if you are interested. Her company is called Cosmic Balance. Thank you! UPDATE. You will see a recent review for me from an owner who wasn’t honest about the dog and his behaviors and how he treated his dog with “training.” I don’t want to share the details of what his dog did because it was horrible and he laughed about it. I have and always will take the action that is for the safety and care of all of the pets I care for as I do this because I love animals. All of them. So the updates for safety that I have taken are the following. 1. All dogs unless they are from the same family will be outside by themselves. 2. While they will never be out with another dog besides a related dog, I have purchased pepper spray, dog whistles, and several other items to react in such a situation if anything happens. 3. I’ve lowered the amount of pets that I take at a time. 4. I thoroughly ask questions and vet whoever I’m watching to make sure it’s safe for all parties. 5. I have always had cameras wherever the pets are, and will continue to do so. 6. I have a calming pets video playing 24/7 for all pets. 7. I have a thermometer that monitors temperatures at all times and sets off alarms if it’s too low or too high. 8. I will no longer watch breeds that can be aggressive. Unfortunately this individual treated their dog with abuse in his response and something triggered him to attack another friends dog in my care that I needed to respond in order to break up his dog attacking another dog that resulted in two surgeries requiring a complete reconstruction of her ear and an infection with pet bills that he paid for, not rover. That poor dogs owner can attest to that and has been in communication and I will continue to be her dog sitter because her dog is so sweet and wouldn’t even know how to defend herself. The situation upset me deeply and this person was vindictive and manipulative. I’ve never encountered something like this before or a human being who would laugh at such a thing, or attempt to harm my business in such a way. Please be assured that your pet will be treated with care, safety, and kindness. I work full time but I live 10 minutes from my job. All pets get walked frequently and checked on frequently and are well taken care of. I’m in a house now with a fenced in backyard with plenty of room. I have crates, bowls, toys, and plenty of space in the house where the pets will stay. It is climate controlled along with cameras, TVs, a very large play area, and calming music is played at all times.

About: I have happily taken care of animals since I was a little girl. Fun fact, my dream job was to work with animals as a veterinarian. I have raised dogs of all shapes and sizes, taken care of family and friends animals including cats. I am currently self employed, and I have open availability to meet your needs when communicated! I am open to do overnight stays, daily checkins, and anything that could be needed for your pets The care I will offer to your pets includes letting them out to go to the bathroom, feeding them and making sure they are hydrated, and of course play time! I am more than happy to give picture updates and communicate any questions I might have.

Stacey P.

About: I have a lifelong love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up around dogs and currently have my own pitbull named Sage, who I adopted and trained myself. She is the sweetest girl and has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and giving dogs the love and structure they need to thrive. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I care for my own dog, Sage, every day by making sure she gets exercise, attention, and proper care. I also regularly help take care of my boyfriend’s five cats, so feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them love and attention is something I’m very used to doing throughout the week. Because I’m already in the habit of caring for animals daily, it’s easy for me to incorporate pet sitting into my schedule and make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible by feeding them on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, taking dogs on walks or letting them out for bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep litter boxes clean for cats and make sure they get the affection and care they need. Because I’ve grown up around many different animals and currently care for my own dog, Sage, as well as my boyfriend’s five cats, I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always treat every pet like they’re my own while making sure the home stays clean and everything is exactly how the owner expects.
