Dog Walking In Colonial Village

About: I have been caring for furry friends for as long as I can remember. Friends dogs, my family dogs, and now my own not so little golden. A little embarrassed to say, but I was that little girl OBSESSED with watching animal planet and dog training videos haha. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs — from energetic puppies to seniors needing gentle attention, training support, and consistent companionship. I work 3 days a week as a nurse so I am able to be flexible and available for all of your pet care needs :) I know how specific and strict I have been with my golden puppy’s training and schedule, so I am willing to follow any instructions you have when it comes to caring for you furry best friend. I also love a long walk or just cuddles so whatever your pet’s needs are am willing to fulfill them.

“Did a great job!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs and my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, personality, and energy level. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m very comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and giving extra attention to dogs with specific health or care needs. I also have experience with dogs at all life stages, including young pets who need patience, consistency, and structure, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, closer monitoring, and a little extra comfort. One of my biggest strengths is being able to match a dog’s energy. I’m just as happy spending a calm day on the couch with a relaxed pup as I am playing fetch at the park for hours with a high-energy dog. My goal is always to make each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re part of the family. As a full time remote student, I spend most of my day at home studying, baking and playing video games, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care for pets throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to incorporate regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and walks into my routine. I’m home the majority of the time, so pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can get plenty of supervision, companionship, and engagement. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or giving extra attention to more active dogs, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. My apartment community includes a fully fenced dog park perfect for quiet, one on one playtime in the mornings or socializing with other dogs in the afternoons. I also have a secure, dog friendly balcony that gets plenty of direct sunlight, ideal for pups who enjoy relaxing and sunbathing. For dogs that need more exercise, I’m located right along the rail trail in Southend, making it easy to provide longer, scenic walks as part of their daily routine.

“Adam was my first try using Rover and I couldn't have had a better experience. He was responsive, punctual, and demonstrated real care and attention for my dog. Mochi was very happy with her walk, and I will definitely be requesting Adam again.”

“Ellen showed up right on time and took good care of my dogs while I was away at work. Will absolutely use her services again!”

“Weiying was awesome walking my pup! They did 30 min walks each day with good reporting on bathroom use and pictures. My pup is shy but warmed up quickly with Weiying! Great communication”

Hedy R.

“Eric and Anna are very reliable and communicative. A great thing about them is their flexibility with timing- they were able to accomodate all different times I preferred for them to walk my dog. Also- they leave the best Rover cards with the cutest pictures you'll ever see of your dog! I appreciate them going the extra mile with the professional photo-ops each walk!”

“Haley was amazing and Brody loved his visits with her. I am a travel nurse and we were in town for a week, I had rented an Air Bnb and needed someone to let Brody out during my 12 hour shifts. Haley was on time, had great communication and Brody loved his afternoon stills and belly rubs. It was so nice seeing her Rover card reports and not needing to worry so I could take care of my patients. If we are ever back in town I would definitely ask Haley again to look after my pup.”

Laura C.

“I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!”

About: I am a foster and volunteer for Char Meck Animal Care and Control. I usually take behavioral or medical cases and currently have 1 of each in foster. I am happy to help out pets with any kinds of different/ unusual needs! I would consider myself very knowledgeable on dogs, but more importantly I am compassionate about loving your pets as my own. My job is mostly remote and it’s super flexible! I am more than happy to stop by for an early morning, lunch, afternoon or evening drop in! I’m always happy to follow any and all directions about your pup/home! I thrive on explicit directions, so there’s never any confusion or miscommunication !

“Valentina was reliable and professional. She communicated clearly when my dog was too shy to go for a walk. I would definitely ask her to stop in and check on Finn again.”

Carrie W.

“Rachel has been absolutely amazing with Hartley! It’s clear she gives her so much care and attention on every walk. We love the updates she sends—complete with adorable photos of our baby girl—and it gives us total peace of mind. She’s also super organized, on top of everything, and so easy to get along with. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”

Jessica L.

“She was really good and pacient with Kona (my dog). She's also responsive, even on short-time requests.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. I have two right now, Reina the dog and Pete the cat. In fact, my wife calls me the Cat Whisperer ;) I just retired as a pilot for American Airlines so I have lots of spare time to walk the dogs and pet the cats! I can do walks pretty much any time of day. My dog and cat are both indoor and outdoor animals. They run in the fenced yard during the day and are back in at night for safety.

“Kim is reliable, punctual, and great with Banks! She comes twice a week to walk our dog and is always on time or early, communicates timely, and even offered to come meet us and Banks prior to establishing a recurring walk. Highly recommend!”

“Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.”

Andi R.

“Gina has been walking my dog, Emmitt, for over a year now. She is trustworthy, kind and dependable. Emmitt looks forward to his weekly walks with Gina and always gets excited to see her. It has been such a relief to know he is in great hands!”

Katie M.

“Samantha is great and always on time!”

Lindsay S.

“Rachel was incredible! I reached out to her last minute to dog sit for a few hours. She was very responsive, arrived on time, and was great with my dog. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for pet care!”
