Dog Walking Centerburg

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience managing a diverse, multi-species household. I currently own and care for a 6-year-old beagle, a 10-year-old senior (and orange) cat, four guinea pigs, and two rescue rabbits. My daily life involves balancing a high-energy hound with the specialized care required for senior cats and small animals. Having managed this "mini-zoo" solo on numerous occasions, I am highly organized, observant of subtle health or behavioral changes, and strictly dedicated to following established routines. Whether your pet is a social pup or a shy rescue bunny, I pride myself on providing patient, attentive care that respects their boundaries and keeps them happy in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is highly flexible! As a college student taking online summer courses with only a very limited part-time retail job (1-2 shifts a week), I spend the vast majority of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. As a Type A student, I approach pet care with a "safety-first" mindset. I am CPR and Heimlich certified, ensuring I can stay calm and act effectively in an emergency. My 3.6 GPA reflects my discipline; I follow your care instructions and medication schedules to the letter, treating your house rules as my top priority. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and alarm systems to keep your home and pets secure. I also offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to wonder about your pet's well-being. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it and your pets more relaxed than when you left.

About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.

“I am not in the habit of leaving a review. Every once in a while you have an exceptional experience and it is important to share with others. If you are looking for someone to walk your dog, Joey is the person you must reach out to. He will become your dogs favorite part of the day!”

About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs. I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.

“We are so happy to have found Samantha on Rover. She is super nice, responds quickly to inquiries, arrives right on schedule and, most importantly, is great with our beagle. Five stars!”

About: I grew up with farm animals (goats, horses, chickens, etc.) so I have always been around animals. I have done dog sitting before for the past 2 years. I grew up with 2-3 dogs in the home at all times. I just got into training my dog we have at home so I have some experience training dogs but not a lot. I have experience with all ages of dogs, I love all the ages!! Since I’m currently in college online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding times, potty breaks and I’m home often, so pets get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I offer doggy daycare, boarding, walks, feeding, playtime, and general care based on your pet’s needs. I make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I am responsible, attentive, and always make sure each pet is supervised and cared for properly. I also understand how important trust is, so I provide regular photo and message updates to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away. We currently have one dog in the home, we are fostering her but might keep her to adopt. She is a 2 year old, husky/german shepard mix! She loves to play and have fun. LIVE ON BASE!! If you can’t get on, we can schedule a time that works for both of us to meet for pick up/drop off!

“Arianna is wonderful. So calm and gentle with our two mini schnoodles. One of ours has anxiety and it took a day or two, but he just loves when she comes.”

About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

About: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it. I can make the best out of any situation. Coming into a client’s home I will always ask the routine and/or needs your pet(s) has and make sure to keep them company when they need it

About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. We used to have a golden retriever and I had a lot of responsibility for him. We now have several cats who are all very needy. I always make sure they are taken care of. Additionally, I love taking care of my brothers dogs, which are the dogs in the pictures above. I am currently working part time, so my schedule can change from week to week. If I am working I can take breaks and provide potty breaks. I will use all available resources to make sure your pet is as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am very good at understanding what they want/need by their actions.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets.

I am currently working part-time, being an athlete and a student. I will make as much time as possible for your pup, as well as being as flexible as possible. I will make sure that your dog or cat is well taken care of. That they are safe and that under my watch, I will give them the utmost quality of care.

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs as well as living with both in my adult years. I do also have experience pet/house sitting in the past. I currently do not have a pet at the moment as my cat passed about a year ago. I am looking forward to be able to meet and get to play with cats and dogs! I do work full-time during the week but am available on the weekends for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I will open up availability for walking or drop-in visits during the evenings throughout the week. I will be able to watch your pets in your home as well as do drop-in visits in your home.

I am willing to be super flexible and can normally make time for anything! I can walk up to 3 dogs at time. I am able to maintain a safe and clean environment for dogs while house sitting/ dog sitting.

“This was the first time I ever used rover and kaeli did amazing with Prince my standard poodle baby! I was hesitant at first but when I met her I was put at ease when prince went right up to her with no problems. She was my life saver coming to give my boy some excercise when I'm getting over sinus cold stuff. Will only use her for future walks with my Prince again. :)”

About: I have 3 dogs at home that I love dearly. I have been caring for them ever since I was young as well as dog sitting for my neighbors and friends. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. If you chose me to care for your loved pets, you won’t be disappointed. Message me with any questions that you might have. Thank you. Im currently a student in my masters program and have plenty of free time to take care of your furry friends:). I love spending time with animals and have open availability, just ask. I can easily follow any directions you ask of me while taking care of your beloved pets. I will do my best to make sure your needs are met as well as your pets!

About: I have had animals since I was a little kid, and have watched many family members dogs when they go on vacation. I have also done around 650 hours working in a Veterinarian Office and have gained lots of experience from that. I would love to be able to walk your dogs when you need the extra help, and I will always make sure to send you updates and keep your dogs safe. I will be home in May-August, and at the moment I am accepting any times within reason and communication. The latest I would work is to 9pm (or when it gets dark depending on the month) I always take my dogs on walks and care for them at home. I can do drop-in visits where I can feed, let them outside, and give them attention. Also, I will be doing mostly dog walks, where I can come and let your dog get out some energy while you are busy :)
