Dog Walking Eagle River Valley

About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I understand the full range of care from early training to senior needs. My oldest dog is 11 and my youngest is 8. This gives me experience with all ranges of dog care from puppy routines, basic training, and providing extra patience and comfort for aging dogs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher on summer vacation, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to be available for consistent visits, walks, and extra attention to meet each pet’s individual needs. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection.

“Selena has been walking my dogs a couple times a week for the past month. She is very communicative and is there for my last minute request I’m super thankful for! Would highly recommend!”

About: I enjoy keeping cats and dogs well and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve had many cats and a couple of dogs. I know leash commands and I like walking. I’ll keep you updated about your pets. Other than an 8-day trip in mid July, I’m available for pet care. I can work with your schedule and I’m eager to meet new clients I'm careful to protect your security while you are away. Your privacy is very important. I will visit your pets to keep them healthy and put them at ease while you are away.

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and stimulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set-up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pets in the afternoon or evenings during Monday-Friday. With ample notice, I can even take care of your pet in the mornings Monday-Friday. On weekends, I can take care of your pet at any time! I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. Your pet will be safe and cared for in my care.

About: I have puppy sat for a couple years now. I love all animals and I’m very physically fit to take care of them. I can’t have a puppy of my own right now so I love taking care and spending time with them when I can. I’m available 24/7 right now. Animals can’t stay at my place, but I am free to stay with them overnight or whatever is needed. I can stay weekends as well. I can stay with the Dog/pup 24/7. I can stay overnight, take them on walks, any kind of care that is needed I can take care of.

About: Thank you so much for your consideration and reading my profile! I am comfortable with animals of all sizes large and small! I’ve worked as a ranch hand and ridden horses for many years and have a special love for them. I am a NAVTA certified veterinary assistant, a fear free certified handler, have dog/cat first aid + CPR certification, currently work at a general practice veterinary clinic, and have countless of hours of experience of petsitting, shelter work, and more, so you can rest assured your babies are in good hands! I know all about the quirks and special things needed to make all kinds of animals happy ♥️ I am typically very flexible with your needs! The information on here is not set in stone and I pride myself in being affordable and reliable while providing exceptional pet care. My calendar fills up quickly from both Rover and outside bookings, but please do not hesitate to reach out even if I have dates booked on my calendar! All funds that I receive from petsitting are put towards getting my own horse and saving for veterinary school. I am incredibly grateful for your trust and support. I am a student at UAA, currently work at a vet clinic, and have several outside commitments in preparation for vet school, so my schedule can get busy! However, I always make sure your pets is a priority, and am more than happy to discuss my scheduling in very specific detail with you. I completely understand if your pets needs do not align with my schedule, but would love to touch base to see if we could make it work! Weekends are my best availability, but I specialize in staying at your home so that your animal has the comfort and familiarity of somewhere they know! I prefer to stay overnight to ensure as much care and time can be given to them, which works well with my class and work schedule because I can stop by and check on your babies multiple times a day! Your pet always comes first. I prefer to watch animals in your own home because it is somewhere they are comfortable and familiar with! Whether it’s cuddles, frisbee, or a good long walk, anything your pet needs it will get! Spoiling your babies while you’re away eases the burden of you being gone, and I will do absolutely everything to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.

“Alejandra is the most consistent dog walker I’ve found. She helped me out last minute today—something she has done many times! Highly recommended!”

“I am so impressed with Lindsey. She is so flexible and always is timely. Mason loves her and looks forward to their walks. I can’t say enough good things about her”

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with many years of experience in the veterinary field and a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, giving me a strong background in animal care and behavior. I have raised and cared for dogs for over 20 years and love playing, walking, pottying, and spending quality time with them. I am also trained to help animals in emergency situations. My dog, Pico de Gallo, is the love of my life, and I would treat your dog/cat/animal with the same care, patience, and love as if they were my own. I work for myself, so any animal that needs care would be worked into my schedule. I can do stop-ins, walks, play time, anything that is needed for your pets to be taken care of. As my calendar fills up, I ensure the times requested for pets come first before overloading my schedule. I would take care of pets in my clients' homes. I would do potty breaks and ensure the house was not used. I would take the dogs for walks and play with them to burn off some energy before bringing them back home, if the owner allowed it. I would also feed and make sure they drank water before I left, updating the owner on how they are doing. Otherwise, I would utilize the spaces given to me ( a fenced yard, etc.). For cats, I would check in on them and make sure they are fed and watered. i would play with them with their toys and then update their owner on how they are doing.

“She did a great job communicating and doing mid day walks with my pup!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I make sure every animal gets plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and care while their family is away. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal I watch. I am great with any communication requests/requirements and I hope to help make this process easy and smooth :) As a General Manager in retail, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to create my own work hours. I can adjust my day as needed and take breaks when necessary, making it easy for me to return home for feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and general care. My schedule typically ranges between the hours of 9am to 9:30pm, but I have the flexibility to structure those hours around the needs of my pet. I worked in child care for a couple years and I am the oldest four siblings. I also grew up with our family dog named Pookah. While I understand that caring for humans and dogs are different, I have experience caring for others with the upmost respect, care, kindness, and patience. I love taking walks and getting outside. Overall, I strive to create a very warm and fun environment for any pet I care for.

“Avalon went above and beyond with my dog Willy. I booked a walk with short notice, and Avalon took him on a long hike, got him a pup cup, and provided me with photos and videos of his adventure. I knew my dog was in great hands, which brought me so much ease during a long work day. I'll definitely book again. Thanks!!”

About: **I travel a lot so don’t let my profile location deter you! I’ve travelled all over to sit and also travel on my own and am willing to use any excuse to travel :) I'm a professional, fun, and responsible traveling sitter! I've been petsitting for over 20 years now and have loved every minute of it! Several years ago I quit my corporate job to be able to travel and pet sit. I've been so fortunate that I've been able to travel all over the country spending time with incredible pets! I am enjoying the freedom of life so I'm willing to travel all over the US to petsit, so message me about sitting, no matter where you are located! As well as dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small rodents, and horses. What started as a "favor" to a coworker, has turned into over 2 decades of happiness, fun, and adventures in pet and house sitting! I have been highly sought after for my services and have even been flown around the country to care for pets. I love dogs and cats and completely understand how important it is to make them feel safe and loved while their family is away. I'm also well versed in what it takes to keep a house running while owners are away. I happily take care of any chores, ranging from tending of gardens to mail pickup. The care level I’ve given has varied from puppy house training, to older pets requiring advanced medical treatment. I have also volunteered and fostered with animal rescue for over 15 years, so I have dealt with a variety of dog behavioral issues. I've fostered dogs ranging from 4 week old bottle fed puppies to dogs recovering from traumatic surgeries. I'm a clean, respectable, and responsible adult. I'm a non-smoker, non-drug user, and non-drinker. I keep a very clean house and am always respectful of my surroundings. I'm friendly, patient, caring, gentle, and get along with everyone - human and non-human :) I love being out in nature and being active, but also don't mind spending time with those pets who just enjoy lounging around the house. I like to have a "meet and greet" prior to any commitments, to ensure that you and your pets are comfortable with me, and I'm able to provide what everyone needs. I care for pets in my client’s home in the manner that the clients and pets expect. If they are used to walks, they get walks. If they enjoy pool time, they get pool time. If they typically sleep on the bed with a human, they get that :) I’m all about what the pets are typically used to and enjoy! I do small amounts of work online, have to help out with family and friends in the area on occasion, and do have some drop-in and walking clients, but besides those small commitments, my time is dedicated to the animals I’m caring for. I’m all about the pet’s schedule and can usually accommodate it very well! I care for pets in the client’s home in hopefully the same manner they do! I want to learn and follow the pets’ routines and schedules so that clients returning home have a flawless transition.

“Katy has been great with my dog, Scruff. He needed a ton of patience starting out and she worked with him to get him used to a dog walker. He actually got a little grumpy with me one day when I stayed home sick and she didn’t come.”

About: I have been cat sitting and dog walking for the past two years for coworkers and family friends- and now I’m on Rover too! I’ve got two golden retrievers of my own who I love dearly as well! I am a student at the University of Vermont studying political science and english! During the summers I come home to Anchorage, Alaska. I love all things outdoors- hiking, running, you name it. I have also been working part time at Middle Way Cafe (in Anchorage) for almost 3 years. Because I have grown up with animals, I feel confident in my ability to care for them. I also volunteer at our local animal shelters and am passionate about finding animals good homes! I value communication and will update you on your pets mood, send pictures, etc. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs, so rest assured your pets are in good hands even if they tend to be nervous when you leave.

“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”

About: I love animals! I am able to walk far distances and care for specific needs. I have a cat of my own and can drive to your house. I am currently working as a barista downtown and own a car. I am able to drive to your location no matter the day and feed/ care for your animal. I am not able to house pets at my own house but feel absolutely fine going to your location. I am able to spend overnights there as well.

“Izabelle is very professional and great with our Akita.”

About: I’m a dog parent of a 3 yo husky mix who keeps me busy. She’s more social than I am, & most days, I’m chasing her around trying to keep up. I like to bike, ski, and play in the mountains, and it’s pretty easy to add another pet into the mix of our high energy lifestyle. Dog sitting was my first job, and I’ve had great experiences with Rover as a pet parent & a sitter I work full time, but I take an hour lunch break every day for dog walks. A typical day starts with a 30 min walk in the morning, 45 mins at lunch, and another 30-60 mins in the evenings. Love to take the dogs hiking, or out to one of the beaches in town, or up on a hiking trail. I have a friendly dog at home, & I require a meet & greet before overnight stays to make sure the personalities work together. Please bring a crate with you if your pet is used to having their own. Please also bring or identify whatever toys, treats, comfort items they can’t live without.

“Iman was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate my request to walk my sweet Koa last minute. Before the walk, she took the time to visit us and ask specific questions about my pup’s likes and dislikes. It was incredibly reassuring, and I am incredibly grateful for her help!”
