Dog Walking Wiser

About: I have a very diverse experience with both dogs and cats, old and young, big and small, and have done plenty of assisting in training dogs and rehabilitation of animals that are injured or traumatized. I am very patient and consistent, as well as adaptable to the pet's needs and routine! I work part time so my availability is flexible and abundant. I am also willing to work with your schedule and needs and will provide your dog with care throughout my duration of caring for them whether it's just a long walk that day or watching them at their home. I work part time right now so my schedule is flexible and open to majority of your needs or expectations, I am also very quick to communicate when something may come up or if there are any concerns. I hold a pet's routine in high regard and want to do whatever they are most used to or expecting to the best of my abilities.

About: What sets me apart is a combination of specialized, hands-on care experience and a commitment to personalized, stress-free care. I am trained in managing complex senior care needs, including medication administration, while also focusing on positive reinforcement training to help puppies build confidence and good manners. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels as comfortable as they do when you are at home. I am able to stop by as many times as needed everyday throughout the week (Monday-Friday) after 3:00Pm and able to stop by as many times as needed on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) after 3:00Pm. Caring for pets requires prioritizing safety, building trust through communication, and maintaining a secure environment. Key actions include adhering strictly to routines (feeding, walking), securing hazards (cleaning supplies, small objects, gates), and keeping detailed records of veterinary contacts. Daily photo updates and maintaining hygiene ensure peace of mind.

“Darcie was patient with my rescue puppy and gave her time to adjust to a new friend. She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent pictures of Waffles.”

About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, etc. I love loving on and taking care of pups + cats. I have a pup of my own, so I am very used to the routine of walking/playing/taking care of them. She is extremely friendly and loves having friends come stay! They will be very loved and occasionally come home with a new toy. I have a yard where your pets can run around and get as much exercise as they need! Millie loves being outside so she’ll be right along with them. We go on walks frequently as long as the weather allows! All pups are always welcome to sleep right next to me and mine in bed, or in a crate if necessary!

“Zoe was very sweet and communicative. She was timely and my dog looked like he loved walking with her. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: I have always had many animals from rabbits to birds to fish, and of course dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and love making bonds with them as well as making them feel loved and safe. I am in grad school so have school every day Monay-Friday, off on Thursday's but I am extremely flexible. I have school most days 8:30-4pm. I care for pets in my home by making sure they have access to fresh food and water, regular exercise, and a clean and safe environment. I also make time to give them attention and all the love. If caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the client’s specific instructions and routines for feeding, walking, grooming, and other pet-care needs. I would also make sure the pet’s environment is safe and clean while respecting the client’s home, preferences, and routines!

About: Prior to college I worked Noah's Caring Hands on Sunnyside Road as a pet care specialist. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I am experienced in all ranges of dog/cat ages and needs. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).

About: I am a professional caregiver, and we have had pets since my childhood. I miss having pets and would love to care for yours. As a nurse and mom I will love and care for your pet, keep them safe and follow any instructions you have . If you need any pet transportation I have a hatchback as well for ease of use. Let me know what your pets need and I will provide it. I look forward to meeting your fur babies, fish, or other exotic pets. I week remotely from my home ( or yours ) which allows me to be available daily & on weekends! If you need just a walk, a drop-in or overnight stays I am accommodating to a fault. Although I can’t currently care for pets in my home , I look forward to giving individual attention and respect, privacy and confidentiality of every family I care for in your space. Whether you welcome me into your space or just need a quick walk for your dog, puppy or cat , I’m up for the exercise . I know pet exercise times are important and play time is how they learn, grow and stay healthy. If your babies are not well I can also provide sick care as needed. As a previous pet-sitter, and nanny - I have additional references as needed.

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, which taught me how to read their body language and understand their needs from a young age. On top of that, I bring six years of professional dog grooming experience to my pet sitting. This means your pet isn't just getting a companion—they are staying with a professional who knows how to handle coat care, spot skin issues early, and keep anxious dogs calm and comfortable. Our daily routine starts in the morning with a quick potty break, followed by individual feedings so everyone can eat safely and at their own pace. Afterward, we head out for our morning walk or yard play while energy is high, followed by a quiet midday nap/relaxation to let food safely digest. Throughout the afternoon, your dog will get another bathroom break, a professional coat brush-out to check skin health, and some mental enrichment like puzzle toys or lick mats. As we transition into the evening, we serve dinner according to your exact instructions and burn off any remaining energy with a fun sunset play session. Finally, at night, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles in a true home environment before a final potty break and a peaceful, secure lights-out. Every pet in my care receives individualized attention focused on their physical safety and emotional well-being. I design a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can relax, ensuring their unique routines are strictly followed to prevent anxiety. By carefully reading their body language, I respect their personal boundaries and use gentle, patient interaction to build genuine trust at their own pace. Safety is always my top priority, which means I maintain secure environments, supervise all activities, and use my professional handling skills to keep every situation controlled and peaceful. Your pet will never be rushed or forced into interaction, giving them the secure, comfortable home-away-from-home experience they deserve.

About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,

“Heather was amazing! Fast responses, pictures, and information about my pup after she walked him. Definitely recommend her for your pets!”

About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!

About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.

About: I have 4 years of pet sitting experience and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or occasional overnight stay, I provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently in graduate school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight companion, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I strive to provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home. I feel it makes them more comfortable when they’re in an environment that they know! I will follow any instructions given and will be just a phone call or text away if you want to check on your pups!

“We have used Ben for our dog walking needs for the last few months. He is dependable and attentive. We have even noticed that our dogs behave better when we walk them!”

About: I was the little girl who the stray dogs followed home. Luckily I had great parents who allowed me to take them in and care for them. Dogs were my first love and I am THAT person who will ask to love on your furry friends. Over the years I have raised puppies into old age (15 & 16 years old), managed illness and surgeries including providing medications, stoma care, etc. Safety and care are critical to me and I will treat your animals with the same level of care that I provide my own. I’m currently unemployed and have the broadest availability at this time. I look forward to providing great care for your animals while you work, travel, etc. I have a fenced in yard and although it allows Hank the freedom to be out alone, we still do multiple walks per day. Walking dogs not only provides physical exercise but it fires up their brain as they explore the world around them. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to pet safety and protocols.

About: Book early for Fall and Winter Holidays! 🍁🎄 Boarding, daycare, walking, grooming etc! Message me to book a test day to make sure it’s a good fit! Can’t wait to meet your pup! Your pet is not just “Watched” here they are understood! I’ve been in the pet care industry for over 8 years now- working in boarding, walking, daycare, grooming… I am comfortable and experienced with all breeds and sizes! Always home, and if not it is for short periods of time! Clients are never left unsupervised around other pets! Saftey is the priority here!

“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away. We highly recommend her!”
