Dog Walking Core

About: Hi! I’m a 26 year old dog lover, grad student, and proud dog mom to my 6yr old doodle mix. I work part time as a SLPA at Rady Children’s Hospital while attending grad school, which gives me flexibility to spend time with your pups on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays and Fridays. I also have experience fostering through The Animal Pad, a local non profit organization. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog some extra love and attention while you’re away! Whether they need a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company and cuddles. I know how much our dogs mean to us, so I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, care, and love I give my own. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member ☺️🐾🤍 I work part time as a SLPA at Rady Children’s Hospital while attending grad school, which gives me flexibility to spend time with your pups on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays and Fridays. Your pets safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a beloved member of your family. I will always be respectful of your home, follow any house rules, and pet care instructions you provide to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I’m attentive to their needs and will take time to understand their routines, personalities and anything they may need extra care with. I’m happy to set up a meeting appointment to make sure I’m the right person for your pet/family 🥰

“Jarrod has come through for us on a last minute trip. I even forgot to ask him to feed Trishia the day we left but he did it anyways. Highly recommended!”

“Very grateful for Monica, she took such amazing care of Violet and gave Gunther so much love and attention which I appreciate so much. Violet went on long walks and also started her heat cycle in the last few days of our trip, which Monica handled perfectly! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to care for your babies❤️❤️”

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

About: I’ve taken care of my extended family’s dogs whenever they go on vacation. I also have a senior dog and try to give him the best life I possibly can! I absolutely believe dogs are a human’s best friend and always treat every dog like my own! I currently work from home 7am-1pm, Mon-Fri. I’m available anytime after 1:30pm and available anytime during weekends! I would also be available weekday + weekend nights. I would have plenty of time to play with your pups! I would follow any specific instructions and will keep your fur baby entertained and safe. If you have a yard, I’ll make sure to play with them and give them the exercise they need with walks.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I understand that every furry friend has their own personality, needs, and routines. I provide dependable, loving care so pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I work remotely from home everyday and I hardly ever leave my place. I have a very flexible routine and will sure to be available for your pet’s needs My home is very safe, with lots of space. I normally enjoy going on long walks with dogs, but my home has a big outdoor area if preferred to keep your pet, securely, inside

“Lara was very responsive & friendly. My pup felt comfortable with her very quickly & enjoyed her walk?”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for most of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors here and there over the years, and during Covid, I would watch one of my close neighbor’s dogs for about a year. Now I’m excited to finally turn that passion into my job through Rover. My family has adopted rescue dogs from local shelters since I was 10 years old. Our first dog was Lucy, a sweet Chihuahua mix who completely stole our hearts. A few years later, we welcomed our sweet boy, Axle, into the family. Sadly, we lost both of them last March, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Today, I have two adorable little rascals who keep life fun! Fiona is our pit bull mix, and Rocky is our Chihuahua mix. Fiona was one of the most challenging dogs I’ve ever worked with, but with lots of patience, consistency, and love, she has come such a long way. Watching her grow has taught me so much about understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. Every dog deserves kindness, patience, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to giving your furry family member the same care, attention, and affection while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide loving, dependable care for your pets and extra loving attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands.

“Alex has been amazing! She took our pup on a few walks when we were busy at work and she was very reliable, easy to communicate with and responsive, and left us some great pics and videos for us to see! When Penny was too stubborn to go on a walk, Alex was so nice to play with her and keep her active! Highly recommend, definitely plan to use Alex in the future! Thank you, Alex!!!”

“Nicolas is just great w dogs. He has a way with our big Staffy that keeps her in check and she still has a great relaxed walk. If you need an all around good person watching or walking your fur babies, Nicolas is the guy. I’m so lucky our family and our dog has met him.”

“Angela was amazing. She was patient and kind with our puppy while getting to know our Bailey at meet and greet. She was on time and spent time making sure Bailey was cared for and loved.”

About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.

“LOVE Isabelle! She’s very kind and immediately gained the trust of my dog. She was so gracious on very short notice, due to emergency! Will absolutely book with her again!”

About: I am innately an animal lover and advocate and will treat your pet as it were my own. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I get super nervous leaving my own dog, so do everything in my power to ensure you and your pet are comfortable. From a young age, I was the kid that would come home with an injured wild animal asking my parents to help it. I grew up with a German Shepard and greyhound, and now have my own dog, who’s a pitty/boxer/cattle dog mix. I understand every dog has different needs and equipped to take care of high energy, intelligent dogs who need a lot of exercise and stimulation. I’ve taken care of small and big dogs as well as cats and bearded dragons. I’ve fostered dogs as well, so am familiar with anxious animals that need TLC and time and space to decompress. I’ve invested in training with my own pet that allows me to read body language well. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I currently have open availability from early morning through evenings during the week and weekends. I do long walks every morning and evening and keep pets on a consistent feeding schedule. I typically aim to take pets on walks 3 times a day depending on the animal needs and client’s requests. I also ensure adequate playtime with toys and activities that are engaging. I am happy to drop in as often as needed for more anxious animals.

About: My approach to pet sitting is based upon knowledge, compassion, communication and trust. This sets a peaceful tone for both the pet and their owner. I'm a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have taken many courses including dog body language, pet sitting essentials and pet first aid. I have a Pet CPR Certificate from the American Red Cross as well. I enjoy pet sitting in the clients home where I can create a customized approach to caring for the needs of their pet and their owner. I also excel at dog walking. When walking your dog, I pay close attention to how they're interacting with the environment and always keep their health and safety as a priority. I look forward to working with you and your beloved pet! I am available 7 days a week 7am-8pm with over-nights being an option as well. I'm happy to work with you on finding the right schedule for the both of us. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I first learn the habits of the pet from the owner. This includes: their feeding schedule, medications needed, hiding places, their behavior toward people and other animals, potty habits etc. From there I create an environment of comfort for the pet making sure they are played with, fed, walked and rested. During this time, I stay in contact with the owner and update them with notes and photos of their pet.

“Kayla is an excellent dogwalker and was very attentive to Jonesy. She made sure he drank water after his walk and was mindful of the heat so he wasn’t out in the hot sun for too long. Highly recommend !”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 12 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away.

Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. My schedule is busiest Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, but I’m available the rest of the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability and can provide flexible scheduling throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and keep communication clear and reliable. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, feeding, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, closely supervise pets, and make safety my top priority at all times. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
