Dog Walking Charon

“Summer was great! We needed someone to come over in the afternoons to visit with our dog, take him for a walk, and just give him some playtime. Summer sent photos every day and our pup always looked so happy in them.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have my own Golden Retriever, which has given me daily experience with feeding routines, exercise, training reinforcement, and overall care for an active dog. I also live with a cat, so I’m very familiar with cat behavior, litter box maintenance, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for them. In addition to my personal experience, I work in the medical field, which has made me very attentive, responsible, and calm in any situation. I’m confident in my ability to notice changes in behavior, respond appropriately, and handle unexpected situations with care and good judgment. I work part time/ PRN so my schedule is flexible I can come in the early mornings and late afternoons! But open to flexibility for the owners I have a fenced in yard with 2 doggies at my house and 1 cat. They all get along and have experience training my dog for the past two years

About: I currently have two dogs. My miniature Aussie, Bonnie, is a 12 year old pup who I have had since she was a puppy. My other pup is a black lab named Spade and she is 13 years old. Caring for these two girls brings me so much happiness that I decided to branch out and offer pet care services. I currently care for one other dog, a vizsla, that is almost 3 years old. He stays overnight with us when his parents are out of town. I also babysit a 10 week old black lab puppy at my house whenever her parents are busy. I am new to offering pet care services but I am well versed in loving and caring for animals. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and can't wait to start meeting them all! Thank you for considering me for your pet care and please reach out with any questions!! I am currently available every Monday - Friday and also weekends and holidays! Please reach out with any questions!! Can’t wait to meet your pups!🥰 I currently am available weekdays and weekends! Morning, afternoon, and evenings. Just let me know which time you need and we can work it out! I have a large fenced in yard with lots of room for running and playing. Our two dogs love the yard and spend a lot of time out there whenever we are home. We have ample toys to share for entertainment! Our dogs love to bring their toys outside to play. The two other dogs I care for love playing in the yard as well. It is never a dull moment with this crew! I do allow our two dogs to lay on the couches with us as well as the other two pups I care for sometimes. I use harnesses on my two dogs for their walks around the neighborhood. I live in a low traffic neighborhood that is great for walking around. I can offer drop ins as well to walk, feed, or play with your pup. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and am so excited to start this journey! Please reach out with any questions or concerns and I would be happy to discuss! Thank you for considering me for your pet care!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate and experienced dog lover with over 4 years of hands on experience working at a busy doggy daycare. In that role, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Handling everything from playtime supervision and feeding to administering basic care and ensuring a safe, happy environment for every pup. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up around them, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own with patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or just some extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs, shy pups, and everything in between! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m a teacher during the week, so my pet care schedule fits perfectly around that! I’m available in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency when their owners need it most. I have a dog of my own, but I live in an apartment, so boarding in my home isn’t ideal. My dog is friendly so play dates are definitely an option if you’re okay with it! I prefer caring for pets in their own environment where they’re most comfortable. In a client’s home, I always follow all provided instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and consistent as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away.

About: I’m experienced with cats and dogs and have personally raised a litter of kittens from birth recently. I currently have a dog that is a Australian Shepherd/Husky mix and 3 cats (a black cat, a snowshoe, and a tortie). I offer gentle, reliable care and make pets feel safe and loved. Any protocols or needs will be followed to the best of my ability. I am mostly available weekday evenings and weekends. Depending on my work schedule and work load (I work from home), it's possible that I can also be available early mornings or mid-day to drop in and check on your pets. Please reach out for any specific needs and I can see if I can make it work! I give every pet the love, attention, and patience they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I keep communication open and can send updates and photos if you’d like them. I’m attentive to body language and always respect each animal’s boundaries so they feel safe, understood, and at ease.

About: I am very friendly with trained dogs and get along well with them. I'm more familiar with cats, but ever-growing my dog person skillset. 😄 I am currently unemployed, searching for my next full time(40hr) role. I can attend to pet care as needed 🙂 Will Communicate if I can care for your pet asap 😄 I take care of all Homes with extra caution and care, I take pride in treating spaces I'm a guest in better than my own :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I can remember. We have always been a family of pet lovers. Pets are more than just pets to me; they are family! I’d be happy to assist in caring for your loved ones as if they’re one of my own. I am currently self-employed and able to adjust my schedule as needed by my Rover clients. I am usually available between 7 am and 10 pm as well as for overnight/weekend sitting. I have a fenced in yard and 6 kitties at my home. Happy to help with drop ins, walks, overnights, and boarding in special circumstances.

About: I’ve grown up with 2 English bulldogs my whole life. I work at a dog daycare with every breed and size imaginable. I love animals I work park time at my dog daycare facility. But if you message me in advance I will make you and your beautiful pup my top priority! I currently do not own a pet but I always had my English bulldogs following me around my parents house so I’m always aware of my surroundings and making sure I didn’t step on them

About: I have had a dog for 10 years, since I was 12, and she was a black lab and rhodesian ridgeback mix. She was a super energetic puppy and had to be played with and walked a lot. I got two cats at the very beginning of 2022 and I’ve taken care of them by myself since. I love playing with cats and giving them love. I will walk dogs at least twice a day, if not more. I currently work at Whole Foods Market and I typically work five days out of the week and work 7-2pm, and I will be home for the rest of the day. It will be super easy to fit the animals into my daily schedule. I have two cats to keep your animals company, but if your dogs don’t like cats then I will keep them separated. I will be walking your dogs at least twice a day, if not more. I will play with them as much as they like and I will follow any stipulations that the client would like to talk about.

About: 💗 30+ Years Experience | Pet Lover & Rescue Mom 💗 About Me: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on pet care experience. From seniors to puppies, shy cats to sassy small breeds—I’ve cared for them all with patience, love, and genuine joy. I live with a small crew of rescues who remind me every day why I do this. Meet my furry family: 🐾 Sadie – my 17-year-old gentle senior pup who’s full of wisdom and love 🐾 Harley – a 9-year-old tuxedo cat with a flair for the dramatic and a heart of gold (even if he pretends otherwise) 🐾 Nemo – my 7-year-old Pomchi with a signature pout and a heart that melts for cuddles 🐾 Marley – a 5 lb Chi and the definition of a momma’s boy, always by my side Each of them came to me as a rescue, and their individual personalities have taught me how to tune into an animal’s needs—whether it’s a slow introduction, a cozy nap buddy, or just the right way to scratch behind the ears. I specialize in senior care, shy or anxious pets, and multi-pet households. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know how important they are to you. What you can expect when your pet is with me: ✅ Calm, loving environment ✅ Personalized care based on your pet’s needs ✅ Medication administration (oral/injectable if needed) ✅ Regular updates and photos ✅ Deep understanding of pet body language & behavior Whether you’re headed out for a weekend or need a daily drop-in, you can feel confident your pet is in capable and compassionate hands. Let’s talk about how I can help give your pet a safe, loving experience while you’re away! I have a flexible job that allows me to schedule check-in visits throughout the week, so I’m available for midday potty breaks, feedings, or quick play sessions. I’m also free most weekends and happy to help with your pet care needs when you’re away! Safety & Trust Come First—In Your Home or Mine Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, their comfort, routine, and safety are always my top priority. 🏠 In My Home: 🐾 Calm, pet-friendly space with constant supervision 🐾 Safe, secure, and clean environment—no hazards or crowded areas 🐾 Slow, thoughtful introductions to my own friendly rescue pets 🐾 Comfortable areas for seniors, small breeds, and nervous pets 🐾 Personalized care for puppies, kittens, and special needs pets 🐾 Experience with oral meds, eye drops, topical treatments, and some injectables (with instructions) 🚪 In Your Home: 🏡 Respectful, responsible care in your pet’s familiar environment 🔒 I follow your safety protocols: gates, crates, feeding routines, meds 🐕 I never rush—each visit includes time for cuddles, play, and proper care 📸 You’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind 🩺 Experienced with senior and special needs pets—mobility issues, incontinence care, anxiety, or routine-based behavior needs 🍼 Confident with young puppies and kittens, including feeding schedules, socialization, and extra clean-up care With 30+ years of experience, I’ve learned how to tune into each pet’s unique needs and provide care that’s not just safe—but truly loving. Whether you’re heading out for a few hours or a full vacation, you can trust your pets are in good hands.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of experience, patience, and genuine care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve been pet sitting for over five years and previously worked in a veterinary clinic for three years, which has given me valuable hands on experience recognizing normal vs. concerning behaviors and providing attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the pets I care for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I prioritize reliability and making sure each pet stays comfortable in their normal routine while their owners are away. 🐾 I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also spend quality time with them so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I send regular photo updates so clients can see how their pets are doing and have peace of mind.

About: All my life I have always had a furry friend and that love is more unique than any love you could get. One thing I live by is loving and treating every pet like they are my own and I have experience from new born puppies to helping with the needs of senior dogs/cats and everyday I am still learning. I am available most days out of the week as long as it is in advanced and can accommodate your needs. I’m available every weekend and holidays! I currently have 1 dog that lives with me but unfortunately will not be able to care for any at my own home. At your home I can work with whatever task you are given me and can be flexible if for example, told there is no fenced yard or if the pet needs to be kept outdoors. I will not be able to stay over nights but can care for pets as long as I need to!

About: I've been a proud pet parent to several fur babies over the years and have always been the go-to helper for family and friends. I’ve also had the joy of fostering puppies through our local rescue. I truly believe our pets are family and understand the importance of treating them with that respect. I live in Abbeville but work in Broussard so I can be available in multiple areas! I work a typical 8 to 5 full-time Monday through Friday so deoending on your location depends on when I can do walks or check-ins. My schedule can be some what flexible at times if scheduled ahead of time. If boarding, we prefer dogs be crate trained while we are at work until we get to know them and see they are okay to be left loose in the house. I have a large yard, two dogs (inside) and a cat (outside). Our pups are trained to stay in the parameters of our yard and leashed trained as well. Their crates are available if they would like to sleep in them but aren't locked often unless staying in a place that requires them to be when we travel or we have other pets with us that may require them to be.

About: I went to school for animal health and behavior and I use to be a zookeeper. I know my stuff! Also grew up on a farm. I currently have 3 dogs who eat breakfast and dinner of real food that I cook everyday.

No matter my schedule we stay with there's! I have a fenced in yard and my dogs are trained not to run out any door. We have safe toys in a toy box that we check for broken pieces that may be ingested.
