Dog Walking In Desire

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

“Deana did a wonderful job walking our pets! She had three To walk at one time, one of whom is very old and she took great care of them. She checked in with me to see if they needed food or anything else. I highly recommend her!”

“Available last minute. So good with our dogs.”

“We love and trust her as does our golden. She is reliable and punctual. We ask for her help at least once a week- twice a day, and she feeds our pup, takes her on a walk, plays with her, and loves on her. Lindsay is the equivalent of having either my spouse or myself home- what more could you ask for….”

About: *Pros with booking my service*: ~I am a full time pet sitter! ~Experience! (Ive been doing this for 6 years) ~Professionalism (I was a lawyer before leaving law to focus on part-time travel and full time pet sitting 😉) ~Trust (The majority of my clients are repeat clients) Hospitality and care go hand in hand with my pet-sitting service. For a house sit, expect your home to nicer than when you left it. Your fur babies will be relaxed and happy to see you when you return having been lovingly cared for in your absence. I will strive to uphold whichever boundaries you h have set up for your pup and work to reinforce training. Have your pup stay with a familiar face while you're away! In addition to personal experience with animals over the years, I have professional experience volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. One of the largest animal rehabilitation clinics in the world. I hope I can be someone you wholeheartedly trust with the care of your beloved furry one. I currently work full time as a pet sitter in addition to small freelance work so my schedule is flexible. On weekdays I will be gone for short periods of time but can be back every couple hours. I always make sure to get my pups set up when I leave the house. I'm a very hands on pet sitter. I understand the needs of animals and their lil personalities intuitively and I like to check in to make sure they are safe and happy.

“Chloe is dedicated to walking my pup who loves her. She braves all weather conditions and schedule changes with a good attitude. My dog Sophie gets the zoomies after every walk.”

About: I have many years of experience working in the animal industry, not only from managing dog daycare and boarding facilities, but also managing a therapeutic management company for animal healthcare specializing in PCR molecular diagnostics for all animals. (A-Z; Anteaters to Zebras!) My background combines hands-on pet care experience with animal health knowledge, allowing me to provide attentive, safety-focused care for pets of all ages. My home environment is designed to be comfortable, structured, and enriching. Dogs are welcome throughout the home and can lounge on the couch, relax on one of the many dog beds, nap in the bedroom, enjoy enrichment toys and tunnels, splash in the kiddie pool, brush-outs, and receive plenty of photo updates during their stay. My yard is fully fenced for safe outdoor time, and routines are tailored to each dog’s personality and comfort level. Dogs may also sleep in bed with me if that matches their normal routine, or in a kennel if that is their preferred setup. I have two dogs of my own, so all boarding/daycare guests must be social and comfortable around other dogs of different breeds, sizes, genders, and ages. Grouping is always done thoughtfully based on temperament, play style, energy level, and size. My home is best suited for low to medium energy dogs, and I especially love caring for senior pets and more relaxed personalities. I do take high energy dogs on case-by-case basis. Safety is my top priority, and because this is also my personal home, I do maintain a few requirements prior to booking: • Dogs must be potty trained. Occasional accidents happen and are completely understandable, especially during transitions or with puppies learning routines. However, dogs with ongoing indoor marking or frequent accidents may not be a good fit for future stays. • Puppies and dogs actively working on potty training are welcome, but owners must be transparent regarding current progress and needs. • I require disclosure of ANY bite history, prior daycare dismissal, behavioral concerns, reactivity, resource guarding, etc. • Nervous behaviors such as stress signals, occasional air snaps, growling, baring teeth, or boundary setting when uncomfortable can happen and do not automatically disqualify a dog. However, true aggression or unsafe behavior toward people or animals is not accepted. I maintain a zero-tolerance policy for aggression. • Owners must disclose ANY destructive behaviors, including chewing furniture, scratching doors, escaping crates, counter surfing, eating non-food items, digging, etc Transparency helps me create the safest environment possible! • Any damages caused during a stay may result in repair/replacement charges, with a minimum charge of $100 if damage occurs. Please note that Rover does not cover damages done inside a sitter’s personal home. • Please let me know if your dog is kennel trained, whether they require crating when left alone, and if they do well in a kennel or tend to become destructive only while confined. Dogs may rest freely in the home depending on behavior and routine compatibility. My care style focuses heavily on structure, manners, redirection, enrichment, safety, and positive guidance while still allowing dogs to relax, have fun, and feel at home. Please also note that Rover takes approximately 20% from sitters and adds an additional 11% to clients. If this is your first Rover booking, feel free to use my referral link for $20 off Even if you don’t book with me, I still hope you’re able to save a little! Thank you for taking the time to read through everything and for considering me with your pet’s care. I truly believe transparency and communication create the best experience for everyone involved- especially your pet! The more information I have regarding your dog’s routine, behaviors, likes/dislikes, quirks, anxieties, and needs, the better I can tailor their stay and provide the safest and most comfortable environment possible. Please never hesitate to ask questions or provide extra details! I genuinely would rather know “too much” than not enough. My goal is always to set every dog up for success. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and medical backgrounds, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, behavior cases, and dogs requiring medication or additional management. While I do not allow aggression within my home environment, I do have professional experience working with behavioral challenges and understand that every dog is an individual. I am also PACCC Certified (Professional Animal Care Certification Council Certified Professional Animal Care Provider), and Pet CPR & First Aid Certified, with hands-on experience. As someone who has managed daycare and boarding environments, worked within animal healthcare, and cared for many different personalities over the years, I understand that trust is everything when leaving your pet with someone. I take that responsibility very seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. Thank you again for considering me, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering any special care they need, I prioritize their well-being. I also plan my schedule to allow flexibility for pet sitting, ensuring I can accommodate different needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pup company! There are plenty of enrichment toys to keep them busy, along with natural, tasty treats for some extra tail wags. It’s definitely a dog’s world in this household!

“Angela did a terrific job walking my dog. She was prompt and flexible with start times. She even walked him in the cold rain one day! I would definitely hire her again as a dog walker to help me out.”

“Mindy did a great job with Chloe while we were touring New Orleans . We would definitely book her again when in the area.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: Raised on a large family farm, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes and there hasn't been one I haven't loved! I have soooo many years of experience with caring for all different kinds of pets. I've owned horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, turtles, fish and have over the years helped with the care of others' as well as plenty of other farm and small animals. I even have my own temperamental pup coexisting with 2 kitties, so I have good intuition seeing signs of stress and pets feeling "off" before it turns into anything. rest assured your pets are safe with me! I've been working on a career shift and I'm looking to be able to spend more of my working hours with your pet! I currently bartend part-time and am working on trying to do less of that, so I have plenty of extra time to care for your BFF when you are unable to! I will treat your pets with the utmost respect and love and will follow any instructions needed for their care and can send updates upon visits! Your babies are my babies, too!

“Megan, is a lifesaver. I was in texas for work and needed a last minute dog walker. She and my fur baby jade connected very well. Megan is on time to walk jade, she is respectful, and I will be scheduling her when I need someone to look after jade. Big Thanks for your help Megan, again life save.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach, and I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel secure and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.

About: I have been caring for pets all my life! I had a dog of my own and am now looking to help care for others' furry friends. I can provide references! I am currently not working, as I just graduated with two master's and am taking some time off before starting a job. My schedule is very flexible. I am a clean, reliable pet sitter and will take great care of your home while watching your pet. I can potentially watch at my home if needed, but I do not have a fenced-in yard and have roommates.

“Ayanna was such a wonderful person to have walk our dogs while my mom was away. One of our dogs takes a little time to warm up to people but after a day when she realized Ayanna was there to help her, she gladly joined her sister in their daily walks. It was great knowing they were in good hands! Thanks you, Ayanna!”
