Dog Walking Winterthur Woods

About: My love for animals began at a very young age, but to pin point, it would be 2006 when I brought my labrador retriever named Jasmine home. I grew up learning how to train and take care of Jasmine, and then a chunky pug Tony, two bunnies and three cats. In more recent years, my husband and I have our own family, a 7 year old golden retriever named Aspen, a 5 year old black cat named Kona, a 3 year old siamese mix, a 2 year old black cat named Peter and a one year old golden retriever named Magnolia! Friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets for 15+ years. I am available Monday through Friday from 9am-8pm for drop-ins and walks. But I am always willing to negotiate with you for you and your pets needs! *** Cat boarding drop off/pick up hours are 8am-8pm Mon-Sun YOU WILL BE CHARGED A $25 FEE FOR LATE PICK UP! NO EXCEPTIONS! *** In regards to cat boarding, we have an entire basement closed off to our pets so your feline friends are safe and comfortable. Water/food bowls, toys, a cat tree and a litter box will be provided. I understand the time and attention any pet needs, but especially cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet your dog or cat and understand their personality as well as their needs!

“Lanae is the best! She sends pics of her time with my dog. I can tell she really cares!”

About: I’ve watched young puppies to older puppies and cat and treated every animal with love and respect so they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I work online so my daily work is flexible. I can work anywhere and adapt my schedule to spend time with pets throughout the day. I am great at following or creating helpful routines or help the animals feel safe and access food,water, play, sleep, walks, and fun outside activities.

About: Raised and cared for many dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I am a calm individual with emergency training. I am comfortable with dogs that’s may have certain behavioral issues. we all need love and guidance!!!! I have owned a dog in all stages of my life and believe that their presence make this world a little easier. The owning n watching of pets has greatly improved my lifestyle helping me to stay active and in nature. Your dog will not be left unsupervised in any situation and crated if 100% necessary. Potty breaks, play, and mental stimulation will be often and fun. I am sure to follow any special instructions and learn your pets.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, and with a lifetime experience of caring for pets, I know how much your pet means to you. It’s not just sitting, it’s also about love, play, and genuine care from someone who’s been surrounded by animals her whole life. Your dog or cat deserves to feel at home, even when you’re away. I have big fenced backyard for dogs to run around in and a park right across from my house so I can give them walks. I am a teen volunteer for Grady once a week from 8am-12pm, and from there I have the rest of the day free to care of your pet. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for them to play. I’m experienced with crates and I do own some if needed. Also, safety is my top priority, and I always follow your pet’s needs and preferences to keep them comfortable, happy, and secure.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 30 years, of all breeds of cats and dogs. My home has always been the go to home for family and friends to bring their pets when they go on trips. I am currently taking online classes, and not working. I have time daily and nightly to provide care and fun activities for pets. Unless previously discussed with client, Sundays are reserved for family and church, but I’m available every other day. I have a very pet friendly home where your fur baby will be allowed to be who they are and I have a nice gated dog park in my complex

About: My Amish background has given me experience in knowledgeable care of animals of all kinds! I have a special knack for difficult temperaments, so if you have a baby that’s usually cranky or shy with strangers, I’m your girl! Neighbors and friends have relied on my training expertise. Most importantly? I’ll treat your baby like my own, with lots of love and care. I work part time, so I have a flexible schedule during the day while my nephew is in school. I look forward to adding regular pet clients in my schedule! I will fit my care to your pet’s needs. Give me as many details of care as you like! Quirks, preferences, and more. I offer consistent care so you know exactly what to expect for every stay.

“Bentley had another great week with Kyle! He takes the best pictures of Bentley and really understands our dog. I am so grateful to have Kyle around!”

“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! While I was out of town on a business trip, she took exceptional care of my sweet dog, Nola, and gave me complete peace of mind. She was always prompt, incredibly reliable, and very thorough with her updates and report cards after every walk. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves dogs. My pup absolutely adored her and was always excited to greet her at the door! Knowing that Nola was not only well cared for, but also happy and loved while I was away meant so much. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly wonderful with dogs, Rachael is the best!”

Tia R.

About: My love for dogs span over 50 years. As a young girl I’ve always nurtured my pets as well as others. Now as and adult having my own provides me an opportunity to extend care, love and attention to other fur babies. I offer flexibility that can fit into a day, weekly, or evening routine. I have one fur baby who loves companionship sothere is plenty of toys and things to do while he is in my home. In addition, my family loves animals so they offer plenty of hugs and attention as well. My yard is big yard with a deck and fenced in backyard offering plenty of space to run around and sun bathe. My neighborhood is quiet offering peaceful walks several times a day.

About: Hi, I’m Tia! As a lifelong animal lover, a mom, and a proud pet parent to three fur babies of my own, I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your four-legged family member in someone else's care. That’s why my promise to you is simple: I will treat your pet exactly like my own. ​I am incredibly blessed to live on over a full acre of land, giving your dog plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play to their heart's content. With over 10 years of experience as both a pet owner and a dedicated dog sitter, I am well-versed in managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup wants to spend the day fetching in the big backyard or curling up on the couch for some family snuggle time, they’ll find a safe, loving, and attentive environment here. I work from home with a flexible working schedule. I am an early birds, and I love to get out and about taking walks with my kids and just spending time as a family. I typically like to meet your animals energy needs where they are. I have two dogs both super sweet and friendly. One senior and one middle aged. Both of girls will gladly keep your pups company and play with them. Or give them space as needed. It's definitely an adjustment coming to a new home even for a few days so we give your animals space if needed or time to adjust.

About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!

About: As a family, we've always had pets, and we enjoy our 4-yr-old goldendoodle Moose, but he loves to play and is looking forward to having new friends come stay with us! I work from home, and can let the dogs in and out of the house to the fenced backyard throughout the day. We'll play with them in the yard, and can also take them for walks in our neighborhood if requested. Our backyard is large and fully fenced, and we also have a covered screened-in porch off of our back deck, which has a doggie door to the yard. We have a large crate here at our house if your dog uses one, or you are welcome to bring your own.

About: i’ve taken care of dogs every since i was around 6. I’m grown up with dogs as well and training them and teaching them new tricks. I have neighbors, friends, and family i would always dog walk and sometimes stay overnight with them too. Pet care fits in my daily routine because I’m a college student and between classes and after I have a lot of time and would give it all to the dogs. Also, I have a fur friend of my own that goes everywhere with me so he fits in my routine as well. I will care for your pets by treating them like they are mine. I will treat them kind and careful, however I will also be stern when I have to be.

“My dog Moses can be handful and he is not used to walking . De Juan was patient while exhibiting excellent skills calming Moses down in preparation for his walk. Moses enjoyed his walks with De Juan very much. De Juan was great handling my dog and very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend him, and would not hesitate to reach out for his services again!”

About: I currently assist an animal trainer and behaviorist with training service dogs. I have also assisted her in large dog births. I have learned how to dress wounds. I am also training my own service Great Dane. I am currently free all day, so I have plenty of time to make sure your babies are cared for and loved just as they deserve. I would be able to take them on walks (or just potty breaks, depending on what they need), and I can feed them breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When first meeting your babies, I let them lead the introduction. Meaning I dont force them to sniff me or interact with me. Its purely on their time. Same goes for anytime I interact with them. I am protective and observant, if something happens to your baby under my care you will be the first to know!

About: After 17 years with my own beloved dog, I understand how much pets mean to their families. I care for every animal as if they were my own—with compassion, patience, and dependability. Special Skills: Senior pet care, medication administration (oral/topical), maintaining routines, leash handling, basic obedience reinforcement, and attentive communication with photo updates. Being retired allows me to keep a very flexible schedule and tailor my time to your pet’s needs. Aside from occasional appointments, gym time, church on Sundays, and brief errands, your pet will receive my full attention and care. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is safety, cleanliness, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand that pets feel most secure in their own environment, and I work hard to keep their schedule consistent to reduce stress and separation anxiety. I provide frequent walks, interactive playtime, and plenty of companionship to prevent boredom. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals — cuddles included! Whether your pet prefers quiet companionship or active engagement, I adjust to their personality and needs. I am respectful of your home and treat it with the same care and integrity I would expect in my own. You can trust that I will keep your space clean, secure, and well-maintained while you’re away. Doors are double-checked, safety is always top of mind, and communication is consistent. If your pet has specific feeding routines, slow feeders, elevated bowls, medications, or other special requirements, I am happy to follow instructions carefully to ensure their comfort and well-being. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
