Dog Walking Derby

About: Animal lover alert! I have a deep love and connection for all living things, especially cats and dogs. I currently have three, yes THREE, cats of my own. I grew up with very large dogs, and spent a lot of my free time sitting for friends and family. I have experience with baby animal care, including bottle feeding kittens. I have the patience and steady hand for seniors and animals that require more care. I’m not afraid to administer medication or handle behavioral issues. I am responsible, knowledgeable, and have a keen eye for detail. Above all, I love learning and spending time with pets! My schedule is currently quite flexible during the weekdays, and weekends are open for more involved care. Currently, my part time job allows me to adjust my schedule weekly, sometimes daily, since our work is project based. I have the ability to go on day-of walks or quick drop ins on demand depending on the day and time. Your house, your rules! I can accommodate whatever needs are necessary based on the type of pet you have and how your home is set up. I’m happy to uphold any routine! Special instructions are my speciality.

About: I have had an interest in animals since before I could walk. Growing up watching animal planet over cartoons, I have always been fascinated by creatures of all shapes and sizes. From studying veterinary science, to volunteering at an animal shelter, to working at pet stores, and even reading current veterinary magazines and articles, I strive to continue my passion and involvement with animals. I have experience with complex feeding routines, medication application, as well as behavioral knowledge that I can apply to animals I care for. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your preferences and your pet's needs. I am a freelance artist who builds and manages their own schedule, with a desire to use my love for animals and knowledge of their care to take opportunities to get out of the house and do something I enjoy--- Meeting you and helping to take care of your baby! My schedule is flexible, I am easily able to work around your needs, especially on a repeat schedule. I do travel, but I always have ample notice, and will be able to inform you a month or two in advance if there is a conflict-- and plan a visit for my return! Comfort and safety are my top priorities when I care for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand so that we can become familiar comfortably, and you can tell me all about your routines, preferences, and needs. I love to learn about my clients and what makes them happy!

“Jenna was very friendly and competent with Otis, and she said he did a great job, too. I appreciate you showing my baby love while his mommy is sick. 💙🩵💙”

“Rebecca was fantastic taking care of my 2 fur babies. She was prompt, professional, friendly and caring. She's definitely top notch and helped put me at ease with pictures and updates of my dogs at every visit.”

Heather S.

“Yoshi is soo happy to have Alyssa in his life. When I get home I can tell he has been on a good walk. The pictures she sends, always make me happy because I know she is walking Yoshi around his favorite park! Highly recommend Alyssa, she makes sure she is comfortable with your dog and doesn’t just say yes! Which is a huge plus in my book!!”

Evan G.

“Alyssa took our dog, Duke on multiple walks each day we were out of town. She was great with sharing pictures and communications the whole time. Would book again”

Max H.

“Keston has been great! I’ve had such a great experience. From day one, he’s been incredibly reliable, professional, and clearly passionate. It gives me real peace of mind knowing my dog is not only getting exercise, but also genuine care and attention while I’m away. Bowman absolutely loves their walks and gets so excited every time Keston shows up—that says everything. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pet, I can’t recommend Keston highly enough.”

Brian C.

“Grace has been so kind and accommodating with our little Luna! Even on days when our 11-year-old pup isn’t quite up for a walk, Grace still takes the time to bring her outside to a shady spot in the grass so she can enjoy some fresh air and the beautiful weather. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention she gives Luna”

Steven Z.

“Lauren did a great job walking my dogs! I have a dog who is anxious and scared and Lauren was patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. She is great with dogs and my dogs loved her! I would highly recommend Lauren for dog walking/dog sitting.”

Stefanie F.

“Natalie takes good care of Otis and he is so excited when she arrives! I recommend her to walk your dog because I know mine can be a handful.”

About: I’ve been watching my neighbors’ animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and love them dearly and I currently have two cats of my own! Animals are my safe space and I love spoiling them! I currently have two cats, so I obviously give them love and take care of them everyday! I am in school, but do it all online so I am very flexible with my schedule and availability for your pets! I’ll always make sure your animal is comfortable with the way I am interacting with them and never push their limits. For cats - if they aren’t keen on humans, I won’t bother them. If they love attention and to play, I’ll be waving a little wand around immediately to get some of their energy out and giving them lots of love. For dogs - I will make sure they are comfortable and walked, and have gone out enough. I can take them to parks and play, or keep them separate from other animals depending on their personality!

“Eli is great, I needed a dog walker for my Aunt's two scotties in CO, I live in CA, Rover App made it all possible. Eli is on time, friendly and reliable! I am very grateful for his time!”

About: We were raised with large dogs and had medium dogs as adults. Our senior most dog had illness before he passed so we have experience with senior dogs. Our youngest dog was high energy and the older dog was low energy so we know how to handle both. Our youngest dog was aggressive towards other dogs so we also have experience walking with an aggressive dog. 90% of the time we are at home. We will only be leaving to get food or groceries from the store. We’re homebodies at this point so your babies won’t be alone for more than 2 hours max if necessary. We have a semi fenced yard and a pretty regular schedule. We wake up at the same time everyday and go to sleep around the same time everyday so you’re babies will be cared for as needed!

“Cassidy is an absolutely fantastic dog walker!! She was always so flexible with my work schedule and always showed up to walk my pup!! If I wasn’t moving I would keep her forever:)”

About: Hi! I’m Loren 😇 I love all animals and I constantly have the worst case of PET FEVER, but unfortunately, I’m just not in a place where I can have a pet of my own 🥺…. Hence where you come in! I’m originally from AZ and moved here for work and I couldn’t bring my fur baby with me 🥺 I would love to be able to give all that love that I have in my heart to your furry loved ones and look after them as if they were my very own until your return. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and cats I’m familiar with after taking care of a few friends’ and families’ in the past. I’m willing to take care of ANY pet though! I’ve been around all animals growing up so I feel I’m capable to care for them, but any instruction/advice is happily welcomed! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry companions! I do work full-time, but I’m happy to check in on pets before/after I go in. My weekends are where I could spend the most time with them. Although, my work schedule isn’t too flexible, I’m willing to work around anything to make it the most comfortable for you and your pet. I live alone so if your pet is able to be alone for long periods of time while im at work, this would be the most ideal scenario. Otherwise, I would leave them in the crate while I’m out of the house.

“Rachel was very communicative with me throughout the day! She checked in and asked if there was anything she could do for me! So helpful and made me feel comfortable leaving her with our pup!!”
