Dog Walking Downtown

About: I love animals, particularly cats. I’m patient but firm. I can ignore the incessant whines for excessive amounts of food. I am comfortable administering medications and picking up messes. Your fur baby is safe with me! I’m a student in college. I am free most afternoons and evenings and can spend the night at your house or apartment. Unfortunately, bringing the animals to my apartment is not an option. I’ve got plenty of free time and am excited to take care of your animal! I can not take animals at my apartment. I am more than happy to come to your location. I can do walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, playing, and any of the dirty work that comes with it!

About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs. I treat them like they’re mine own. I go out of my way to make them feel happy. I’m retired so my days and evenings are open to care for your pets. My hours are very flexible. Time with your pet will be the best part of my day. I love to walk, so your dog will get as much walking in as he or she wants. Their schedule will be my schedule. There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood, so your fur baby will meet new friends.

About: I have worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel assistant, at a doggy daycare as park staff, and at a wildlife rehab as seasonal staff. These jobs have required me to monitor behavior and symptoms to ensure the health and safety of all involved. I work part time, leaving me with much time for looking after animals. I am off on weekends and am looking for something full-filling to fill that time. My shifts at my job are usually 6 hours but no more than 8. In high school, I watched many pets in my hometown while their families were away. Lists and rules are very important to me so that I know exactly what is expected and how your furry family member would have the best experience.

“I cannot thank Chelsea enough for coming to my rescue again last minute. I have been struggling with health issues and she is so understanding and willing to help me with my baby. My dog gets so excited to see her! Thank you so much Chelsea!”

About: Hey! I have a strong passion for animals, which has led me to gain a wealth of experience in pet care. This includes not only looking after my own pets but also taking care of those belonging to family and friends. My hands-on training with my dogs has equipped me with the skills to handle a variety of breeds, from small to large, and different age groups, including puppies and seniors. My approach to pet care focuses on building trust and understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. I enjoy engaging in activities that promote their well-being, such as exercise, training, and socialization. My reliability and commitment to providing high-quality care have earned me positive recommendations from those I've worked with. If you have specific aspects of my experience or services you're curious about, feel free to ask! I am a stay-at-home mom and can adjust my work schedule as needed! I'm always open to making arrangements, provided we discuss them in advance. As a stay-at-home mom, I find great joy in caring for my pets alongside my family responsibilities. Managing the needs of three pets requires organization and dedication, but I love ensuring they are well-fed, groomed, and taken out regularly for potty breaks. Walking my dog is not only a crucial part of their daily routine but also a wonderful way for me to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, I often help out my neighbors by walking their dogs as well. This not only strengthens my bond with my own pet but also allows me to contribute to the community and support fellow pet owners. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment for my pets, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love. If you have any specific questions or areas you'd like to know more about, feel free to ask!

About: Even in childhood, I've loved animals. I decided when I was very young that I wanted to make a career out of rescuing abused, disabled, and neglected animals who need help; I still think about this dream today, at 25 years old. For all my life, I've had a dog, cat, or critter to come home to. I'm willing and able to go on walks, though prefer not to walk too much on days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or below 30. As far as I'm concerned, I'm willing and able to do anything your animal may need. I care about every animal companion, and will do my best to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. I would even be willing to try caring for an animal that may act somewhat aggressive, as long as they don't have a history of serious injuries, seeing as I'm not trained to defuse an attitude such as that yet. I am also, of course, willing to care for your home through small time chores as long as I am there. Right now, I'm a sandwich slinger at Subway. Usually I only get morning shifts which are 3 hours on average, 6 hours tops. I would let you know if I'm going to be away for longer! Otherwise, I try not to leave my wards for more than 4-5 hours just out of caution. I generally prefer to petsit outside my home, since our pets aren't always awesome with new friends... but I'm always willing to come to your place, granted we (of course) meet beforehand so I can get a lay of the land and your pets can assess me. I will do my best to keep routines just the same for your pet, as well as ensure that the house is NOT messed up. I will keep in touch with you with pictures and updates! (Unless you don't need that, of course!)

About: I’ve loved animals for many years, and since joining Rover I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through drop-ins, walks, and overnight house sitting. I’ve cared for pets for everything from short visits to extended trips lasting multiple weeks. My experience includes feeding and refreshing water, litter box care, dog walking, playtime and enrichment, administering medications, maintaining established routines, and providing companionship. I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with more involved routines. One thing I’ve learned is that every pet is different. Some want constant attention and playtime, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality rather than expecting them to adjust to me. Communication is also a big priority. I provide regular updates and photos, follow instructions carefully, and want owners to feel confident that both their pets and their home are being well cared for. I’m grateful to have developed relationships with repeat clients who trust me to care for their pets whenever they travel, and I’d love the opportunity to become someone your pets know and trust, too. I’m a teacher and an experienced pet sitter with a growing group of wonderful repeat clients. Since beginning on Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. During the school year, I work Monday–Friday and typically leave home around 7:00–7:15 AM and return around 4:15–4:30 PM. I’m available for drop-ins and walks before and after work, as well as on weekends. I also offer overnight house sitting for pets who can comfortably and safely be alone during my workday. During school breaks, holidays, and summer vacation, my availability expands considerably and often includes daytime visits and walks. My Rover calendar is kept updated to reflect these changes. During school breaks I have much more daytime flexibility. Upcoming breaks include Thanksgiving break (Nov. 25–27), winter break (Dec. 21–Jan. 1), and Easter break (Mar. 26 & 29). I also have additional individual days off throughout the school year, so feel free to check my Rover calendar or ask about a specific date. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure everything is secure when I arrive and leave. I also provide regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If anything seems unusual with your pet, I’ll communicate with you right away.

I can easily build trust with animals. I have patience and a willing heart to take care of dogs at their own pace.

About: Hi! I’m Natalie, and I’m a huge animal lover who would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re my own. I also have my own Goldendoodle, Willow, who absolutely loves making new furry friends! She is very playful, gentle, and friendly and would be so excited to have a buddy to hang out with. Because Willow would be around during stays, I do ask that your dog is comfortable and friendly with other dogs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾🤍 I work as a CNA, but I have a flexible schedule because I’m able to sign up for shorter shifts that work around my availability. I’m very intentional about making sure I have plenty of time to care for pets, which allows me to come home and let dogs out for potty breaks, take them on walks, give them lots of attention, and spend time hanging out with them. I want to make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. 🐾 When your pet is staying with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved just like they’re at home. I’ll keep them on their normal routine as much as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Since I have a flexible work schedule, I’m able to make time throughout the day to let them outside and give them attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My Goldendoodle, Willow, is also very friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your pup will have a fun little friend to keep them company! 🐾🤍

About: Dogs and cats have been a big part of my life since I was a baby. My family never had less than 4 dogs at a time all different breeds and different sizes! I have taken care of friends and family's dogs since I was old enough to be home alone. I have also ridden horses and worked at several barns that had lots of cats and dogs, including breeding large mastiffs and mini golden doodles, that I helped take care of. My main hobby when I want to get out of the house is training my own dogs on and off leash. Not only have I grown up with dogs and cats, I have also worked as a vet assistant for a traveling vet working with puppies all the way up to seniors. I would love to share my love with your pets. I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! We have 2 very friendly dogs of our own that we take out daily for exercise. I am available all times of the day and can take on last minute requests. I have two very friendly dogs and lots of places to take your dogs on walks or go play at a park in my area. Everything is your choice, I can crate your dog when needed if you chose, we could have lot of activities or none, all your choice! If you chose for me to come to your home, I can follow whatever routine you would like!
