Dog Walking Clodine

About: Hi, I’m Mari! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud fur mom to one very loved pup and two spoiled kitties. Caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for more than 15 years. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of neighbors, family, friends, and coworkers, and I’m excited to finally bring that experience to Rover and connect with even more pet parents and their furry family members. I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’ve raised my own dog, Lennox, since he was just two months old, and I’ve had my youngest kitten since he was two months old as well. I’ve also cared for several beloved family pets well into their senior years, including pets 12+ years old who required medications, specific routines, and a little extra attention. I understand how important it is to follow a pet’s routine exactly as their parents have established it, especially when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and other individual needs. As a pet parent myself, I know that every animal has their own personality, quirks, routines, and specific needs. I’m naturally very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to my own pets, and I bring that same level of care to every animal I look after. I also have experience with medium-sized breeds and dogs who may be reactive, nervous, or need a little extra patience and understanding. I know that not every pet is comfortable with the same things, and I’m happy to take the time to learn what makes each individual pet feel safe and comfortable. One of the things I pride myself on most is communication. I know how difficult it can be to leave your babies with someone else, so I want you to feel just as comfortable and informed as your pet is. I love sending regular updates, pictures, and little check-ins throughout the day so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions and routines because I understand that consistency is important for pets. I’m currently a Civil Engineer going through a career change, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m happy to work with busy schedules and do my best to accommodate the needs of both you and your pet. I’m also currently working toward obtaining my Pet CPR certification because I want to be as prepared and knowledgeable as possible should an emergency ever arise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’m always happy to provide any additional information, references, or details that would help you feel comfortable choosing me to care for your pet. At the end of the day, I know how much our pets mean to us because mine mean the world to me. My goal is to give your pets the same patience, attention, affection, and care that I would want someone to give mine. ❤️🐶🐱 Pet care fits really naturally into my schedule right now. I’m currently in a flexible stage of my career as I transition out of civil engineering, which allows me to have more control over my time and availability. Because of that, I’m able to plan my days around pet care visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins without feeling rushed or overbooked. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether it’s early potty breaks, consistent feeding times, or evening walks and cuddle time, I can be there when your pet needs me most. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 work schedule, I also have the flexibility to accommodate last-minute requests when possible and provide reliable care during weekdays, weekends, and some holidays. I make it a priority to only take on bookings that I can fully commit to, so your pet always gets my full attention and care. At the end of the day, I can structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, because making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and consistent in their routine is my top priority. 🐾 I currently provide care in my clients’ homes so their pets can remain in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I’m happy to follow their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, crating, bedtime routines, and puppy potty schedules. I also have experience with puppy training and can help reinforce consistent potty-training routines while you’re away. I’m very attentive to safety and will make sure doors, gates, crates, and other areas are properly secured, especially when entering or leaving the home. I’ll take the time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and boundaries so I can provide care that is safe and comfortable for them. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and adjust to whatever routine works best for each pet. My goal is to keep their day as consistent as possible while giving their parents peace of mind through regular updates and communication.

“I booked Karina again this week for dog walking, and I am genuinely impressed. Princess, who is usually very shy and slow to trust, bonded with her so much faster this time, and everything went incredibly smoothly. Seeing that level of progress in such a short time really speaks to Karina’s patience, experience, and calm approach. She clearly understands how to work with nervous dogs and builds trust in a very thoughtful and respectful way. It gives me a lot of confidence and peace of mind knowing Princess is with someone so capable. I will definitely continue booking her on a regular basis and highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a shy or anxious dog.”

About: I’ve had experience with all animals big and small. From house sitting to managing a pet kennel at my previous job, I strive to connect with owners and their pets to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. I’m available to take care of your pets anytime, whether it be for walks, short potty breaks, or longer hours. I’m able to stay and play at your house or bring your pet to mine. I have two sweet doodles, three cats, and lots of land for pets that need to run. I understand that each animals needs are different and I would be able to provide a hype or chill environment depending on those needs.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have been caring for animals my entire life. My family dog, Misty, is 14 years old, and I've cared for her since she was a puppy. Over the years, I trained her, took her on daily walks, fed her, and cared for her through every stage of her life. Caring for Misty for the past 14 years has given me firsthand experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. As Misty has gotten older, she was diagnosed with AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia), which has required careful medication management, close monitoring, and a specialized diet. Through this experience, I've become comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention.I truly understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, love, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same level of care and affection that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands while you're away. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I have a one-hour lunch break that allows me to return home for drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and quality time with your pet. From Friday through Sunday, I have a much more flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care based on your pet's individual needs. Whether it's walks, playtime and mental stimulation, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and well cared for. I am also available for boarding Friday through Sunday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I tailor my care to each pet's routine and individual needs. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. If needed, I can also administer medications and provide updates with photos so you have peace of mind. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I'll follow your instructions closely, provide companionship, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. For boarding, your pet will stay in a safe, clean, and loving home where they'll receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and supervised care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're in good hands.

About: Hi there, welcome to my page! Its such a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you and get to know you and your pets! About me: I grew up with animals since I was a child and know the ins and outs of the needs and wants of every dog and cat. I have a dog of my own named Buttercup, Ive had her since she was a puppy. Not only that, i also have experience caring for a litter of puppies, rescued stray kittens and nursed them back to health until I found them a new home! I worked previously in a doggy daycare as a manager at a small business. I have knowledge of understanding a pet's body language, how to handle animals, recognizing bad behavior and approaching them with care. I can easily follow detailed routine, have experience with grooming, gland expressions, and no problem with cleaning up after them. Be assured that my top priority for all pets is their health and safety, and will look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I take care of my dog every day. I can easily fulfill their needs before and after work so it wouldn't be a problem with scheduling! I have alot of free time and would love to spend it with the pets! My home is fenced in with a good sized backyard to play and run around in! You're welcome to come have a tour for a meet and greet or ask for pictures. I have one small fur baby who would get along with other people's dog. She would love to play and keep your fur baby company. However they do need to be gentle and friendly since she's small and a little shy, but she'll warm up eventually. I can do drop ins to check in on the pets or dog sit and make sure they have food and water and take them on walks and do play time or snuggle! And I'll throw in a bonus to pick up any messes left behind and help tidy up the house a little bit upon the request of the owner!

“Terese is AMAZING! She takes care of your pets perfectly! My dogs love their walks with her 🐕🐕 She provides a detailed report of their walks and plenty of pictures too! 😁”

About: Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I began my petsitting experience up in Northern Colorado 6 years ago all through college. I'm new to Richmond, but I'm excited to meet new furry friends! I have many references and am very comfortable with getting to know the unique personalized care you give your pets so that they can feel just as comfortable with me as they do with you. I cannot confirm my availability for more than 2 months out since life happens and my availability can change, so please keep that in mind when sending a request. Check out my calendar for my current availability. I care for pets as if they were my own and I am very aware and respectful of the lengths pets can be alone for per the parent's request. I keep homes the same way you leave them, bring in the mail and packages, water plants, and most importantly I ensure all doors to the home are locked and secure each time I visit and/or stay the night. Your pet's safety is my top priority when I'm with them. Please let me know any information I may need to help keep them safe and healthy while you're away.
