Dog Walking in Woodstock

About: Personally I've had and cared for different pets throughout my entire life. This strong passion for animals is what led me to major in Animal Sciences in college. Professionally I've also worked as a veterinary assistant. My personal and professional experiences with animals ranges from small to large animals, the primary species being dogs, cats, birds and fish. Presently I have 3 dogs, 1 cat and several fish tanks. My schedule is very flexible, and most weeks I'm available 7 days per week for pet care. I can work with each person on an individual basis to create a schedule that works for both. I am very attentive to each pet's safety and well-being, and I have received training especially when working as a veterinary assistant on pet behavior, safety, health and creating the most stress-free environment as possible.

“Thank you, Beth! And he’s just trying to get your sympathy. He had his wet food and a snack already today. He had gained 1/2 lb at his last dr appt lol”

“I cannot say enough except for how lucky I am to have Emily help walk my babies while I am at work. She does great with large dogs as well as my little 16 year old. Do not try to steal her away from us but if you are lucky enough to have her fit into your schedule, I would highly recommend her.”

“Christina walked my 3 dogs daily while I was away. My dogs were very hesitant to walk at first and she was calm, patient and gentle with them to gain their trust. Her communication skills were excellent and she gave me frequent updates. I would hire her again to take care of my dogs.”

About: Hi! My name is Julie and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I previously worked as an Adoption Manager at Anderson Animal Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. Through my work, I developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, daily care routines, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also worked as a manager at Pet Supplies Plus, where I further expanded my knowledge of pet care, nutrition, supplies, and the unique needs of different animals. Between both roles, I’ve spent years helping pet owners and caring for animals in professional settings. In addition, I have experience administering medications and caring for animals with special needs, both professionally and in my personal life. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medical support, or just lots of attention and affection, I’m confident providing compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of dogs over the years, from small breeds to large breeds, and I’m comfortable handling pets with varying energy levels and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their unique routines and comfort levels. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in experienced and loving hands. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! Im currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have open availability most weekends and can stop by after 3PM on weekdays. I give my German shepherd walks every day and lots of play time to help relieve some of his energy. Depending on you pets needs I can accommodate them any way you see fit.

About: I have 5 years of animal experience with a variety of different animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages in a variety of sizes. My schedule very flexible so I can schedule animal care around any other appointments. I will be unavailable on Sunday mornings until 2pm and Monday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm. I will be staying in the client's home so your pets will be in a familiar and relaxed environment with whatever toys and beds are provided.

About: I believe that every pet deserves individualized care and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine love and respect for animals, which I demonstrate by providing them with a nurturing, safe, and family-like environment. Your pet will never feel like they’re just another animal in a kennel – they’ll feel right at home, like part of the family. I can help puppies with basic commands and socialization, as well as offering gentle care to senior pets who require extra patience and special attention. A big part of my service is the daily walks. I understand how important it is for pets to get their daily exercise and mental stimulation. I make sure to provide enriching walks, whether it’s a calm stroll for a senior pet or a longer, more adventurous walk for an active dog. I adjust the walks according to the pet’s needs, and I always ensure they’re enjoyable, safe, and full of exploration. For added peace of mind, I share GPS-tracked walk updates, so you can follow along on your pet's experience. In addition, I keep owners informed throughout with photos and messages, so you never have to worry about your pet while you're away. My routine includes regular walks and playtime, ensuring your pet stays active and happy. I have full availability to care for pets, and I’m happy to accommodate flexible schedules to meet the needs of both the pets and their owners. Whether it's during the day, late evenings, or weekends, I’m here to provide care whenever it’s needed. Feel free to reach out at any time, and I’ll gladly arrange a time that works for you and your pet! When caring for pets in their own homes or taking them for walks, my primary focus is always on safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. In your home: I ensure the home is secure and free of hazards, paying close attention to areas where the pet may be most comfortable. I follow any special instructions from the pet owner regarding their pet’s habits, food, and preferences to maintain a consistent and safe environment. Whether I’m watching them at home or during a walk, I treat them with the same care as I would my own pets, ensuring they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. During walks: I prioritize safety by ensuring your dog is always under control, whether in urban or outdoor settings. I also ensure that pets are properly hydrated and not overexerted during their walks, adjusting the route and pace based on the pet’s age, size, and energy level. Trust is built by maintaining clear communication with the pet owner, regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. This ensures the owners can trust that their pets are receiving the best care while they’re away.

“Morgan did a great job, on time and has great communication. My dog can be nervous of strangers and he loved her! Thank you for taking care of him while away!”

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!

About: I’ve had pet dogs most of my life. I take care and watch family and friends dogs and cats often. I currently have a cat and had a pet dog for 8 yrs. I’m new on Rover, which is why I don’t have any reviews yet. I do have lots of experience around dogs and animals. I love being around dogs. I’ve had my own yard care business for 8 years now. I’m responsible and reliable. I enjoy being around animals especially dogs. I look forward to meeting your pet! I can give attention at all hours to each pet. I can take dogs out for bathroom breaks when ever they need it. I can administer medication by mouth.

“Chloe was very professional and scheduled a meeting prior to taking care of our senior Yorkie. She walked him several times a day for three days. She was on time for every walk and he was well taken care of. Thank you Chloe!!!”

“Alphonse took our big Husky mix to walk for the first time. I have never seen our Prince so calm when going out. Alphonse has the magic touch for dogs.”

“Olivia was amazing with my dog. Chance had gotten sick the day I had to leave for a family emergency and Olivia went above and beyond with care for Chance. I would definitely hire her again when the time comes.”

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for other people's animals. From dogs and cats, to horses, snakes, goats, chickens, and more! My promises to you: I will respond in a timely manner, be reliable, and send you updates (with pictures) while you are away. I will ensure your beloved pet(s) receive the care and attention they deserve. I will be respectful of your home and ALWAYS leave it cleaner than I found it. I know how relieving it is to return to a clean home! :) My schedule is flexible but I do have a part time job that I work in the evenings. Typically 4-9pm 🙂 I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. I am an attentive and patient caregiver with safety at the forefront of my attention. I will ensure that your animals receive the care, attention, and exercise they deserve!

“Very helpful with are little girl pups. Treated them like they were her own. Our pups need alittle extra attention and had no issues helping.”

About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

About: I have been around all different types of pets since I was 5. They have always been a part of my family. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and so many more. I can provide many references if needed. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with days and hours. I am also able to pick your pup up or drop off if you need me too. Since I work from home, I am able to take them on multiple walks throughout the day! Your fur baby will be treated as if they were my own.

About: *I do not charge an additional pet rate for drop in services. If you have 1 or 11 pets the drop in rate is the same. I am a pet owner and I know pet care is important and when you start paying per pet you start losing means to have the extra help you need! It’s nerve wracking leaving your animal behind and finding someone who you trust and your dog trusts. These are our 4 legged children. An animal lover from the start, always bringing home the injured or strays since a child and this life long passion is something I never outgrew. Experienced with first aid, emergency care and can quickly notice when something is off with your pet. Excellent care and references available- foster home for non profit rescues- Medication administered as needed. Potty training available for additional fee. Boarding/Walking availability is flexible but limited ***Please note: Your dog/dogs will be the only ones boarded with my resident dogs. I do not take multiple client boardings.*** I have two med-large dogs, one is active and one would rather just lounge unless someone wants to play ball. Theres always lots of social interaction but time for them to find a warm cozy place to just snooze too. My availability is flexible with room for additional walks / drop-in mid day. I’m always happy to review requests to see if they can be accommodated I have a 6 foot privacy fence and I am home most of the day. Both of my dogs are crate trained but can be found laying on the couch looking out the window

“Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon”
