Dog Walking In Capitol Hill

About: I am a stay at home husband with a lifelong passion and love for all animals. I have been caring for animals since I was young, and have experience with all variety of cats and dogs. I've handled everything from basic routine walking and feeding, to post-surgery care and diaper changes, from baby to senior. Rest assured, I will treat your pets with the utmost respect and care, because they deserve nothing less. I’m very excited to be a part of the Rover family and look forward to caring for your pets. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fairly open schedule, and will never rush with your pets! I'm more than happy to dedicate as long as your pet needs to receive the care it deserves! I keep a routine schedule with my dog Zuko, including feeding, walking, exercise, and medications. I also regularly watch my neighbor's pets, performing tasks such as playing, picking up, maintaining litter boxes, feeding, and walking.

“Reliable, caring, and great with my dog. My dog is always happy after walks, and I appreciate the updates and professionalism. Highly recommend!”

“Have used Tara three times now for extended weekends and continue to have a great experience…really makes me feel like my pets are getting the best care possible when I’m away!”

About: My dog is precious to me and I will treat your fur-baby(ies) like my own. My goal in providing pet care is to make it as convenient and stress-free as possible. I know what it is like to need a last-minute sitter and I never want price to stand in the way of your pup getting quality care. So please reach out, especially if there are special circumstances! I love going on outdoor adventures with my 7 year old black Lab, Ellie! We especially enjoy hiking, swimming at the lake, and playing fetch at the park. On cold and rainy days, we'll do indoor enrichment activities like hide-and-seek, puzzle toys, or catching bubbles! With my own pup at home, we go to the park in the morning to play fetch and then a walk in the evening. I work a hybrid job and my schedule is very flexible as needed. Am I happy to provide visits/walks for your dog(s) alone, or to bring my dog along if your pup would enjoy some socialization and company. Ellie is very patient and tolerant of other dogs, especially those who are extra hyper or a little guarded at first. I have had many "runners" in my lifetime, so I am extra vigilant when it comes to entering/exiting your home as well as when on walks or at a park. Growing up, we always had at least three large dogs in my home (Great Danes, St. Bernards, Dobermans, etc.) so I am very familiar with pack dynamics and experienced when it comes to walking multiple dogs at once. Please let me know if there are any medical, behavioral, or other concerns and I am happy to do what I can to accommodate your pup's needs!

About: Previous experience with dogs and cats at local shelters as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Knowledgd in providing care for all types of different animals. Outside of roller derby training with the local league and volunteering with the food bank, my schedule is open and available to help with your pet care needs. I have previous experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and animals with low socializing issues; however, I am not a trained nor certified trainer.

About: I have had pets in my home for my entire life. I have volunteered in animal shelters since 2019 and currently do regular shifts at a local shelter, where I walk dogs (I am trained to the most advanced level, meaning I can interact with and walk dogs who are still working on their social skills and interactions), take dogs and cats on local news shows to encourage adoption, foster dogs in my own home, and take part in educational opportunities to continually advance my animal care and advocacy abilities. My full-time job is remote and has a flexible schedule, so I can hang out with pets for much of the day and take breaks for outside time, playtime, appointments, and so on. I also teach a handful of yoga classes every week, usually in the late mornings, but the times vary from week to week. I am happy to give your pet what they need, whether that's scritichies, playtime, walks, gentle time sitting around, medicine, and so on. Whatever it is, I will be patient with them and their needs.

“Leah is awesome with my pups and very reliable and responsive!”

“Amy was a very gracious and understanding dog walker willing to fit in at the very last minute. I was on a road-trip with my family and my neighbor could only take them out back not walk them. I have a 75 lb black lab mix and a 65 lb red heeler mix both of which are very strong. She took them both for a walk in stride and my neighbor told me she was so surely nice. For sure a good choice when you’re in a pinch and need to let your fur kids get some exercise.”

About: Pet sitting has been a passion of mine since middle school. 🐶I started helping friends and family care for their pets when I was 14, and over the years I’ve developed a special love for looking after senior pets. I understand that many animals have unique personalities, routines, or special needs that require extra patience and attention, and I’m always happy to accommodate those. 💖 My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same respect, kindness, and love that I would want for my own. At the moment, I’m available for pet sitting on weekends only. 🐾 The pets that stay on Saturdays get to go for a hike with me 😎 I am currently available during the weekends. Feel free to check if we can work something out on the weekdays though, sometimes my partner is willing to help while I'm at work! :) I currently live in a town home with a fenced yard. I have a small dog to keep your pets company and play with. I will make sure to follow your instructions on how to care for them and make sure they have lots of love and comfort and playtime. :)

About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs my whole life and have lots of experience taking care of and playing with them. I work around 30 hours a week (schedule varies) and I am looking to spend some of my free time with my favorite animal! I can run with dogs if yours needs some extra exercise. I will cater to your dogs need and do my best to make your day and the dogs. I live in SLO and don’t mind driving to you or taking the dog to a park or whatnot in my car. I can’t wait to get to know your pup and make their day like they make yours everyday. Please contact me if you need me to help with your dog!

“Cydnee & her sister are a mission critical part of my family's support system. I truly wouldn't trust my pup with anyone else. My pup also ADORES them! She picked her up once while I was working & my pup didn't even look back at me 😂❤️”

About: I have loved animals all my life! From living in a household of cats, to taking care of family and friends dogs from days to weeks on end, I’ve always loved to be around pets. I’ve lived with either cats, dogs, or both consistently for 15+ years. Can’t wait to take great care of your pets and make some new furry friends! I have a wide range of availability! My work is a hybrid schedule, so there is flexibility with times. I can take care of pets during both weekdays and weekends, so let me know when you need some help. I will follow your instructions to a T. If you are particular about certain aspects of your pet care, I will absolutely take that into great consideration and follow accordingly! I want to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable as possible, so whatever that may be, please let me know.

“Jenna was quick to respond and provide a picture at the start and end of her walk with my pup! At the end of the walk I would have appreciated an overview of how the walk went with a bit more detail eg. he went #2 and it was solid, he mostly sniffed around, etc.”

“Cari is absolutely amazing, and my dog, Faraday, already adores her: head tilt, tongue out, excited jumping all show up when he hears Cari's name. She's responsible, flexible, and excellent at communicating and sending pictures. I cannot praise her enough. She deserves all the props! Love her!”

About: Hello! I’m an avid animal lover with over 15 years of pet care experience. Caring for animals is actually my full-time job, I work at an animal hospital as a Client Services Representative, where I spend my weekdays helping care for and support the pets and families who come through the clinic. Friends and clients have affectionately dubbed me a bit of a “dog whisperer” because dogs tend to warm up to me quickly and feel comfortable around me. I’ve been pet sitting for many years and working in a veterinary environment has given me great experience with different breeds, personalities, and health needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medication, and caring for senior pets. I have also volunteered at a rescue animal shelter, where I gained experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. At home, I share my life with a spirited Labrador Retriever named Bear. I’ve spent my whole life caring for dogs through every stage, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m skilled in all aspects of pet care, from feeding and administering medication to bathing and cleaning up. Because I work at the pet hospital during the week, I’m typically available for dog walking and pet sitting on weekends. I’m also happy to pet sit during the week for mature pets who are comfortable being home while I’m at work during the day. Your pets will be in loving hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I’m available for check-ins during the day and to stay at your home for overnight pet sitting, as well as popping over for drop in visits. Your pets will be in loving and caring hands with me! I will diligently follow all instructions and provide frequent updates while you are away.

“Emily was very responsive through the app, and came to meet my dog before her first walk. She even came out for an extra quick trip outside to make sure my pup didn't have to wait too long. She really went above and beyond! Thanks Emily!”

About: I have always taken care of a variety of pets! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chameleons, and fish! I can walk/run dogs, can clean litter boxes, clean terrariums and fish tanks, and know how to administer live feed like crickets or mealworms, and love to make pet friends! I am involved and alert and have quick reflexes and can keep up with high energy pets :) I’m free most times during the week! I typically have more time in the mornings but if you let me know in advance, I can almost make anytime work :) I currently have two puppies. Lots of work, but I’ve gotten good at it! I run and walk my dogs daily, and help out around the house with the cats and reptiles. I am capable and used to cleaning up lots of messes and keeping my eyes peeled for keeping pets out of trouble.

“So fun to see the pictures and the routes taken.”

About: I have cared for many animals over the years. I rescued my first dog while I was in high school, who we lost to cancer a few years ago. I would care for many neighbors animals while they were away/on vacation. Recently moved to a new neighborhood and had some extra free time. Looking to help out in any way that I can! I am currently in between jobs due to some family medical emergencies, so my schedule has become very flexible. Open availability, and willing to make almost any schedule work for you. Although I don’t have a lot of space in my home to bring your animals to me, happy to follow any and all instructions to maintain privacy and security to help your animals feel safe and comforted.
