Dog Walking Chemung

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life, so your furry friends will be in very experienced hands. I find genuine joy in being around animals and truly love the bond that comes with pet sitting. Since I believe staying active is essential for a happy pet, I especially enjoy taking dogs on long walks. It’s a great way for them to burn off energy and explore, providing a mutual benefit of exercise and fresh air for both myself and your pup! Lifelong Experience: Hands-on care with a variety of animals since childhood. Large Animal Familiarity: Comfortable and capable with both large and small dogs Active Care Style: Dedicated to ensuring your pet gets the movement and stimulation they need. I’m currently a full time college student and attend classes two days a week. This allows me to have an open and consistent schedule to care for the needs of clients! Growing up, I participated in dog obedience training with my county’s 4-H program. This experience allows me to promote a safe and nurturing environment while allowing the dog to have a positive experience.

“Gabriella was wonderful! Took good care of my dog! Holly loved her! I hope she can continue walking Holly in the future. She was a life saver!!”

“Jessica came to walk and feed our Schnauzer girls as promised. She sent pictures and a pee/poop report. We would definitely recommend her to care for your dogs.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now enjoy my own dog and watching my kiddos create their own memories with our dog Jack. We enjoy the outdoors and go on a lot of walks and hikes with Jack. I am a teacher looking for a side hustle after 3pm on weekdays and full availability on weekends and Summer. I live in Lake Geneva and work in Elkhorn, so I am available there and surrounding areas within reason. I have two dog loving, energetic kids, a husband and a rescue pup named Jack. We all do well with dogs! ;) We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. We also have a nice yard to play in along with an endless supply of hugs and treats.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have been working in the pet industy for 10 years and I am pet CPR certified. I have taken care care of pups of all ages, all different kinds of animals, and have had many pets of my own. I currently work at a restaurant so may be gone here and there. My pups are home for you friend to have some company while I'm gone! I do not have a fenced in yard, but can leash walk anywhere. Pets can free roam inside my house, otherwise I can care for pets in their own space.

“Declan was fantastic with Maverick. He has helped his transition in a new home and spent time with him helping obtain good manners! Will continue to use Declan in the future for Maverick’s needs!!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, cats and dogs. I have experience with all age ranges of pets. I enjoy taking care of mine and my family members pets! I often watch my parents 2 year old energetic boxer mix, as well as 3 cats, one who has heart failure. I also love spending time with my sisters 5 year old mini doxie. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes, cleaning litter boxes and providing basic medical needs. I look forward to meeting the furry important members of your family and providing the best care I can! I have an open availability for Monday-Friday from 6am-3pm. I’m available for longer walks if needed or short in and out trips. I take my parents dog Willie on walks around local parks, he’s a very energetic dog and likes to pull. So I take it one step at a time with him and give him ample time to soak in all the enrichment of the environment around us.

About: Vet technician, worked with sheltered dogs, & police K9s. I will not turn down any pet of any medical or behavioral issues. I lean towards difficult cases (medical or behavioral) with my patients knowing some may require extra responsibilities that I’m fully confident in helping in anyway I can. Due to an unexpected obstacle in my life I decided to take a sense of leave as a vet tech possibly temporary.. Rover gives me the opportunity to continue what I love to do & while managing my own schedule around my daughter’s needs. I make sure both owners & their pets are happy with my visits,I follow whats instructed by owner & all about communication at anytime needed.

“We are very grateful to have Danya walk our dog on a daily basis. She gives great updates and most importantly is very sweet with Sugar. Definitely recommend!”

About: I love animals so much! I have one cat Patchy that I love dearly and an older cat spotty who passed away two theses ago. I love all other animals so why not help out and get paid for spending time with more babies!:) I have bathed, feed other animals for neighbors and such! I have boarded a dog for 1 weekend as well. I am a current dental assistant part time dance instructor. Just looking for anything to save to go back to school! I’m currently working part time and am looking for good employment so this would really benefit me! I have open availability for the remainder of two weeks! Depends on the client home, but I like having cozy things for animals to bury themselves in. As well as things that smell like owner, treats, etc.

About: My husband and I are workampers! That means we move every season to a new campground and work there. This time, we are at Jellystone Caledonia!! We love to have the presence of animals, since it gets boring living in a campground without an animal to walk. There is a great dog park here with great socialization opportunities (for us and the dogs 😆😆)!! I would love an opportunity to pet sit any type of fur babies, I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!! Pet care fits seamlessly into our routine. My husband and I travel full time, which gives us a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. We both enjoy meeting new people and animals along the way, and our lifestyle allows us to be present, attentive, and adaptable. Caring for pets fits easily into our daily life and is something we LOVE. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, litter care, playtime, and medications (if needed) are handled consistently and with attention to detail. I respect the home and keep everything clean and orderly while you’re away.
