Dog Walking Drums Crossroads

About: All my life I have had some sort of animal in my home. At one time my family fostered dogs and I loved it! I can’t wait to met all kinds of pets! It fits into my routine because I have time in the mornings or nights to either walk or take care of these animals. It will fit right in! My dogs are never outside unsupervised and I always am watching them to ensure their safely and mine. I take safety very seriously with my animals.

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.

About: With an extensive animal care and sitting background, I bring thoughtful service to all my clients. If you're looking for someone responsible and loving with high energy pets, elderly pets who may need medication, or anything in between, look no further. I'm also happy to take on plant care, aquarium maintenance, bringing in mail, etc. I'm pleased to offer drop in visits where possible as well as home stays. I book meet and greets with clients to find out all the details, and encourage open communication. If you have any questions or would like to set up a meeting, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I generally have a pretty flexible schedule! We will set up expectations for your pet care and staying in touch in advance of each sit. :) I am big on photos, updates, and good communication in general. It is common to hear from me every day, with a multitude of photos.

“It was a pleasure to have John care for my Havanese. I really appreciate the time John spent with him and the communication each visit.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and throughout college I cared for a wide variety of breeds (i.e doodles, bull dogs, pitbulls,etc), from boarding pets in my own home to drop-in check-ups. I’m comfortable with dogs of all energy levels and ages, with experience caring for pets ages 2 to 8 and have administered medicine via eye drops & orally. In my free time, I spend time at the SPCA playing with and socializing animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, giving me wide availability throughout the day, including mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give your pet consistent, unhurried care and accommodate last-minute requests. If my availability changes in the future, I’ll communicate early and make sure any existing commitments are fully covered. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Before any service, I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet so your pet can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine, personality, and any special needs. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep food, water, and litter or potty areas clean, and I’m comfortable giving medications as directed. On walks, I always use a secure leash, check that collars and harnesses fit properly, and stay alert around traffic, wildlife, and other dogs. I will send photos and text updates after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for

About: Retired registered nurse, knows CPR and can administer meds. I love all pets, but can only board small pets in my home. If boarding in my home I prefer house trained and good with other small dogs. Can work with your pet on house training, crate training, and basic commands. I have never met a cat or dog I did not like and that did not like me in return. I would love to get to know you and your fur prince or princess. I can travel up to 20 miles, after that I need to charge more to compensate for gas. In the midst of training? I can help, I reward with praise and can reinforce your commands. I can not board cats, my old gal will not allow it. I am retired and other than occasional trips can modify my schedule to meet your pets needs. If your dog likes the dog park we are happy to go for a ride there. I have a fenced yard and 2 littles, one loves to play, the other is an observer. There is no way the dogs can get out of the yard.

About: Senior care and med management are two things that I am very good at! I have 6 animals of my own that I adore very much! Every day I take care of my animals (cats, and dogs) I am available whenever and wherever I am needed! Always willing to help! In home services, walking, always safety first. Always treating animals as if they were my own pet! Very good at diagnosing the animal, whether high energy, or not!

About: I have an 8 year old black lab mix named Annabelle. Prior to adopting her, I have always had a pet in my home. I have had a previous black lab, Lily who passed 2 yeards ago and a golden retriever. I have been dog sitting mostly for friends and family for a few years now, but I wanted to reach out beyond that and see who else I could help. I am good with dogs of all sizes. I love dogs and haven't been without one my whole life and I know what it's like to have to leave your best friend hom while your away, so I can provide that care and love for them while you can't be there. I also love cats, mine made it to 21. I work a flexible scheudle so can work with you on your schedules and needs. I can alter times/dates as well if needed. I am welcome to changes as needed.

About: Hello Families! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a 20-year-old community college student with a genuine passion for caring for children and animals. I’m transitioning from working in hospital housekeeping into providing reliable, compassionate in-home care for babies, children, dogs, and cats. I have experience caring for a variety of dogs, from playful puppies to larger breeds, including pit bulls. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for neighbors while they were traveling, making sure their pets received plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship while their families were away. In addition to pet care, I have hands-on infant-care experience from caring for my nephew since birth. I have been heavily involved in his daily care, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, keeping him on a routine, and providing constant supervision. Caring for him has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a strong understanding of the responsibility that comes with caring for an infant. I also want to be completely transparent with families that I have a 2-year-old toddler who would accompany me during overnight sits. He is calm, well-behaved, and very easygoing. He has his own routine and would not interfere with the care I provide to your children or pets. I would always make sure your family members, pets, home, and routines receive my full attention and respect. My goal is to give families peace of mind by treating their children and pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with the people and animals you love most. I am available 7 days a week, from mornings through overnight care, and I’m happy to work with families who need flexible scheduling. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can help! Warm regards, Aaliyah I am currently looking for a job in the sitting community. I am available upon request. As well as being flexible to fit what’s best. Your fur babies will love my neighborhood. Every corner you’ll see someone with their own. If you animals don’t like others that’s okay because they’re welcome in my house as if they’re my own!

About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 12 years old. My entire family has been dog lovers since before I can even remember. I began caring for dogs as a hobby and eventually began to receive payment for it as people started to recommend me to their friends and family. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve, especially dogs. They are the sweetest, most loving features there are. Caring for your pet, makes him a part of my family. I will always put your pet first. Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend, must have never had a dog because no one can understand you more than your pet who you have grown to love and adore.

About: As a fur mom to two, I know that it is a huge relief to find someone to love your pets the way that you would. Let me be that person!

Let me handle your furry family members while you enjoy your day! I currently work a remote job with a flexible schedule which allows for me to easily fit in drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I know that each pet requires their own form of love and attention. I will take the time to get to know your pet, what they like and don't like, and make sure that everything is handled while they are in my care. It is very important to me to build a bond with your pet so that you both feel comfortable.

I currently work part time nannying so I have more than enough time to spend with your pets! The best part of it is I can always adjust my schedule to fit yours a little better! I am very easy going and good at adapting to your needs, I will make sure you fit babies get plenty of exercise and water, not to mention LOVE! I am experienced with animals who are more comfortable being in a crate at night or when nobody is home as well as those babies who get to just relax around the house.

About: I've always loved animals, especially dogs! Growing up, I would sometimes take my next door neighbor's collie for walks or feed her when they were away. My schedule is flexible now and my husband and I would love a dog of our own one day, so I'd love to get some more pet experience. Thank you for considering me with your loved one(s)! I recently switched from full-time to part-time work, so I'm very flexible and available now! I might be available both weekdays and weekends - just depends on the week. I have a gentle presence when I come to your home to greet your dog - and if they're excited to play, then I am, too!
