About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, frequently being asked to watch the neighbors pets. I love going for walks and am happy to go fast for energetic dogs, slow for seniors, or whatever pace the dog wants to go! I have my own 10 year old dog who I care for always. I currently work full time so I am available to walk dogs before or after regular working hours. I have my own dog so I understand the importance of getting walks in daily! I cannot take dogs into my home, but I am used to caring for a dog so I understand essentials of care that they need.

About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.

Sydney has walked our dog, Gus, a few times now and he can be a bit hard to manage. He’s very excitable, reactive, and loves to jump and lunge at things that catch his eye. Sydney has done a great job of managing (all 70lbs of) him and keeping him safe! He is SO excited when he sees her walking up to our door, which makes me trust her even more.

Sally is such an excellent addition to my first dog owner experience. Having her come by my place when I have to work in office allows me to focus on my work and keep this ship sailing. I trust she will take care of my pups and leave my place locked and safe. Sally is reliable and a strong communicator on top of being a gifted animal handler.

About: I'm that friend who tells you "don't scold him, teach him with love and rewards what you want from him" how do I know it works? Because from my adolescence I began to be interested in my furry friends, I have done some research that has contributed a lot to me to relate to them in a better way. I hope to generate an extraordinary relationship with your furry friends. I combine pet care with my part-time job in the following way: - MORNINGS AND MID-DAY: I am available Monday through Wednesday and Saturdays starting at 8:30 AM for walks or drop-in visits, making sure to finish on time to head to my other job. - FULL DAYS: Thursdays and Fridays are my days off, so I have open availability at any time. - PUNCTUALITY: My job is just 10 minutes away from my home, so my schedule is perfectly calculated to never be late for your pets or my work shifts. For me, the safety and peace of mind of the owner are the top priorities. When caring for a pet in the client's home or during a walk, I strictly follow these guidelines: - IN THE CLIENT'S HOME: Upon arrival and departure, I make sure all doors and access points are perfectly secured to prevent escapes. I respect the client's home by maintaining cleanliness, ensuring the pet's area (food, water, and litter box/bowls) is spotless, and putting away any objects that could be hazardous to them. - DURING WALKS: I never walk dogs off-leash; the leash remains secure at all times. I maintain an alert attitude toward the surroundings to avoid tense interactions with other animals or loud noises that might scare them. - COMMUNICATION AND ROUTINES: I fully respect the owner's instructions regarding food portions, schedules, and routines. Upon completing the service, I will always send the mandatory Rover card/report; however, if requested by the client, I am more than happy to send additional photos and messages during the visit for extra peace of mind.

Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!

About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life, from kittens to seniors, and since I was 12 I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs as well. I’ve given both cats and dogs medication as well as bottle fed them if they were too young for solid food. I have an incredibly flexible hybrid work schedule! Whatever you or your pets needs, I will be able to meet them without any work conflicts. You know your pet better than anyone. Whatever instructions you give me to keep them safe, happy, and healthy, I promise to follow exactly. I love animals and my schedule is very flexible, so whenever your needs are, I will do my absolute best to meet them!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

I'd definitely recommend Alex! He's been walking my dog Millie for about 2 months -- he's communicative and has been very flexible with his schedule. In particular, he's been extremely helpful at keeping an eye out when Millie has something health-related pop up that needs to be monitored, which gives me a ton of peace-of-mind!

About: Growing up in Colorado, I am no stranger to all types of wildlife and a variety of pets. I have spent many summers on a farm and believe it or not cows are like overgrown lovable doggies. I have vast experience with sick and abused animals and with an open heart and gentle touch I'm able to build trust and confidence in almost any pet. I'm physically active but also enjoy a nice snuggle on the couch. So if you have an athlete, couch potato or anything in between, I'm your man. I'm easy to get along with and have wonderful communication skills. I volunteer for several soup kitchens and food pantries. My life is to be of service to all living creatures through patienceand kindness. Call me with questions or concerns anytime. I look forward to bringing joy and safety to your home. Taking care of pets is a passion of mine. I love all life forms. I have a wonderful little girl that loves guests to play with. It's an everyday thing for us. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. We take long walks and trips to the park often. Snuggles on the couch are typical in this house. Meal time is the same time everyday and when we have guests we always separate the kids during meal time. Just to be safe.

Mary walked my dogs for 3 days. She is reliable and although it wasn’t her job this time, she noticed and alerted us to an accident one of our dogs had inside. I really appreciated that, because it was our first clue that Lily had a bladder infection. We really appreciate the way Mary takes care of our dogs.
