Dog Walking Ardenvoir

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for awhile. I do have allergies with cats but have no problem with taking care them and loving them equally. I have worked with pets who have needed medication (not shots but willing to give them if properly shown how to), nutritional/physical needs, and senior animals. I am currently a full-time college student. My class and work schedule are new to me. However, I am flexible and open to discussion regarding your pet's needs. I am detailed-oriented, a perfectionist, caring, loving, and safe. I will make sure that your pets are fed, groomed (if needed), watered, taken out (if needed), and loved as if they were my own.

About: I have had animals all of my life. I have been trusted with parents and neighbors pets when they have gone out of town. I currently have a border collie mix who would love to have a friend and has gone through the Petsmart obedience training course. Please feel to reach out if you have any questions! Currently I am a teacher on summer break in the valley. My hours are open and my schedule is very flexible. I am excited to meet your fur baby member of the family! I live right in town. I do not have a fenced yard, we take our dog out on a leash outside, but we do live within walking distance of Sargent field. I do have a crate indoors if needed and I have a friendly border collie mix who loves to make friends!

About: Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been housesitting in Michigan, USA (where I’m from), as well as in California, the Caribbean, England, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Island of Jersey, and France. I have found it a wonderful way to meet new people and explore new places that I might never have known otherwise, while enjoying the comforts of home and the angelic energy of animals! I have experience with many dogs and cats, as well as farm animals. How my housesitting process works: New clients start with a meet-and-greet, generally at the client's home, but I have also done this over video call for long-distance. Client introduces animals and gives a tour of the property, goes over any details and questions, and we agree to booking. I send the client a reminder text two days before sit is scheduled to begin. Upon arrival for the sit, I send a photo to check-in after I have let pets out to potty. I review homeowner’s instructions and house manual (if supplied) and connect with pets to help them get comfortable with me. They usually miss their family for the first day or two, so I find treats and walks to be essential for boosting their mood and getting them to adjust to me. By the end of the sit, we are usually good friends and their family comes home to find them happy and relaxed. My petsitting philosophy is to simply be a friend who cares for them and helps them enjoy life until their family comes home. Although it is generally preferable for all pets to stay home rather than be boarded, this is an especially ideal situation for dogs that have separation anxiety. I am content to stay at home with the pet for the entire duration of the sit, with occasional short trips for shopping, sightseeing, church, etc. of not more than 1-2 hours. I give 1-2 walks per day and petting and play, such as throwing the ball or playing tug-of-war. I may also allow pets to sleep on the bed or floor in the bedroom with me. I can give medication according to instructions. I am aware of dangerous foods for dogs, including chocolate, onions, and grapes, but I may give them a piece of deli meat, cheese or eggs, unless instructed otherwise. I text or email once or twice daily updates with photos, or at frequency the client requests. I also collect mail and packages, put out trash and recycling, water plants and greenhouses, and more as requested. I am fairly perceptive of what needs to be done, however to ensure that something gets done to your specifications, please put it in a manual or text message. I also have experience with larger home organization and improvement projects, so just ask if you'd like anything else to be done. I keep the home tidy for the duration of the sit, and on the final day, I thoroughly prepare it for clients’ return, including stripping the bed (if time permits I’ll run bedding and towels through the laundry cycle), sweeping/vacuuming, wiping down bathroom and kitchen surfaces, and straightening and tidying as needed. I give pets a final potty break, secure them in the home, and send the client a text message to check-out. Notes for clients: Please double-check that your dates are accurate, as I can only guarantee availability for the dates we have booked. If it turns out your travel time extends beyond these dates, or if you are delayed, you can check my calendar or ask if I’m available, and I’ll do my best to help, but I can’t guarantee I’ll be available. Please be sure your pets and home are treated for fleas, as I am going into many different homes with pets. This is for your own protection as well as respect for other homes and pets. I reserve the right to decline or cancel a sit if I detect the presence of fleas. To get rid of them, I have found it works to use a dropper of clove oil applied to the pet's neck/shoulders as a topical treatment once per week or as needed until scratching stops, and vacuuming and washing your pet's bedding regularly. Dogs must be leash-trained in order to be walked. I can handle two large dogs on a walk at a time. If a dog is not leash-trained, ie, pulls on the leash excessively, does not respond to commands, or is aggressive toward other dogs, I may decline walks. If your dog is a rescue, please specify this in your initial inquiry and any behavioral training/rehabilitation that has been completed. I expect a reasonable standard of cleanliness and accommodation that is suitable for a guest (me). I do not bring anyone else onto the property. My rates are reasonable and competitive with the cost of boarding, allowing for the far more desirable situation of pets staying at home! My time is free to devote to your pets and their needs. I may occasionally take a short 1-2 hour trip for shopping, errands, sightseeing, church, etc. I am attentive to pet needs and behaviors at all times. I keep the house in tidy condition during my stay, and clean up after myself thoroughly upon departure.

About: Any and all dogs I will play with them non-stop until they are tired and take a nap. I don't care what kind of special treatment they need if that's what they need they will get it. i would one day like to have and run a dog daycare one day and this will be good practice. I may also buy them treats, i love to spoil dogs. I have had and taken care of lots of dogs for all my life. I'm saving up to get a new place so i can adopt some dogs and other animals. I'm not going to say I'm a professional but i will love your dog like its mine. Thank you for reading this and have a good rest of your day. I work from home doing editing mostly so my days and nights are flexible. I have taken care of dogs kinda all my life and cats for the last couple of years. If the pet as no special needs or requirements then it's your normal go on walks play lots of pets feeding on time making sure they drink water all. I'd definitely rather take them out have go to parks but that's not always an option. I'm going to ask what kinda things do you do with your pet that makes them happy favorite toy that kinda stuff

About: I’ve worked walking animals for along time! Super calm and I don’t mind a challenge! I’m happy to see if I’m fit for your needs! I’m a stay at home mom! Walking with my son is a thing I do already so I wouldn’t mind bringing another dog along! I can also just have your dog and not mine! We live in a newer home, we have a yard that’s fenced and a doggy door so pups are able to go in and out as they please!!!

“Madison did an incredible job watching our dog Tilly. I think Tilly had a better day with Madison than she ever does with us. :) If you are ever in need of a Rover, Madison is the best.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 5. I grew up with four dogs and five cats. I spent many years training our pets, walking them, and learning the responsibilities of pet care. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and runs. I currently help a few of my friends walk their dogs while they are at work or on vacation I am currently only employed by taking care of pets while I apply for jobs as a firefighter. I am extremely active and can walk and run dogs most hours of the day. I currently own a 10- year- old cat. I feed him at the same time every morning and night. I believe it's important to stick to the pets' normal schedule or routine, so they do not get confused or depressed. I will respect the animals needs and give them lots of attention.

Pet care is already part of our daily routine, and your pup will be treated like family in a safe, loving, and active environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely; walks, meals, playtime, and rest while making sure they feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their usual schedule and provide updates to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

“Samantha was super awesome. She walked our dog Ruby while we were exploring Pybus market. She came very prepared with water and snakes for the hour walk. Ruby immediately liked her and Ruby knows dog people. Highly recommend Samatha and will absolutely use her again when we are in the area.”
