Dog Walking Elder

About: If you’re looking for two dog obsessed floof enthusiasts🐶🐶🐾🐾🤩🤩 who provide full-time care and can't get enough of spoiling your fur children...look no further, you’ve come to the right place! We do this because we LOVE to do it, not because we have to❤️. We are Tom & Nikki and welcome to our Rover profile😄 - 🐶ABOUT US🐶 Hi, I’m Tom😊. I’ve been an animal and dog lover since I was a kid! When Nikki and I got married, I became a proud fur dad to her two beloved elderly English Bulldog children. Caring for their special needs and medications taught me so much about senior dog care. Sadly, when we had to say goodbye to both of them😢, our home felt empty without the tippy tap sounds of their toebeans running around everywhere😔. We truly missed the joy and companionship dogs bring, which is why we decided to open up our hearts and home to provide exceptional love and superior care to the wonderful dogs of our community. We consider your dogs not just pets, but cherished family members of our own family🐶❤️ - Hi, I’m Nikki😄. I’ve had a lifelong dog obsession for as long as I can remember🐶😍. I’m definitely “that" dog person who spots a furry floof in the distance and immediately drops everything to run over to squish it with love. It’s impossible for me *not* to get attached to every dog in our care😆. As a matter of fact, Tom always jokes that I need therapy because I never want to let them go. I’d happily keep spoiling each one forever! Of course, he also reminds me that they do have families they eventually need to go back to🤣. I’ve owned and loved three English Bulldogs, a breed known for being incredibly high maintenance in every way. Because of that experience, I’ve developed a keen eye for noticing even the smallest changes in a dog’s behavior, health, or mood. By default, every dog in our care is treated like our own❤️, and we don’t know any other way to treat these precious babies Tom and I consider angels on earth😇🥰 - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs - 🐶PLEASE NOTE🐶: Because safety is our number one priority for all dogs under our care, we have a zero aggression policy. Meaning that if your dog currently has (or has any history of) signs of aggression towards other dogs and/or humans, unfortunately we cannot accommodate them here in our home. We do not offer segregated boarding. For the safety of your dog and the other dogs here, your best option may be a sitter who watches one dog at a time. In the event your dog were to show aggression during their stay and compromise the safety of the other dogs here, please have an emergency contact where you can arrange to pick up your dog - 🐶MEET & GREETS🐶 Meet and Greets will take place in our front yard and be limited to 15 minutes. We do not give a house tour due to liability reasons, however there is a collection of pictures on our profile that you can use for visual reference :) 🐶OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE🐶 Nikki is home full-time for doggy daycare and boarders. Tom is at work two days a week and home full-time the rest of the days for daycare and boarders when he is not doing drop-in visits and dog walking. On Sundays, dogs will be crated between 9:30-noon when we’re at church - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs Our cozy home is an ocean of coziness with fluffy dog beds, blankies, and pillows in every area for your dog to lounge and relax in. We have a nice air conditioner that cranks in the summer and a nice heater that keeps the home nice and toasty in the winter, and we have a securely fenced-in yard where your fur baby can enjoy sunbathing, outdoor playtime, leisurely walks, and the infamous sniffing and exploring doggies love to do. Because safety is our number one top priority, they are never left unsupervised both indoors and outdoors. Potty trained dogs are allowed on most furniture (we regularly deep clean every part of our home, especially all the furniture upholstery and rugs). We want them to feel right at home the moment they arrive in our driveway! - 🐶DROP-OFF/PICK-UP🐶 When you arrive here for drop-off's and pick-up's (and Meet & Greets), please have your dog on a leash. We will unleash them once they're safely inside our securely fenced-in yard. - 🐶DURING YOUR PUP'S STAY🐶 When your dog first arrives, we closely observe and monitor their interactions with other dogs (because we typically have multiple dogs here with us at any given time) to be aware of any dynamics that require attention. If any concerns arise, we promptly separate dogs into separate areas (we have multiple gates secured to each doorway inside our home) to ensure their well-being and comfort. - 🐶FEEDING🐶 At mealtime, your dog will enjoy their food in a designated and separated area, ensuring they can savor their meal without interruptions from other dogs. This practice not only prevents food-related aggression but also reduces the likelihood of digestive problems that may occur when consuming unfamiliar dog food. - 🐶SLEEPING🐶 For the safety of all the dogs staying with us, for bedtime they all sleep in crates with a clean and cozy bed and blankie that we will provide. We have a wide variety of crate sizes available, so no need to lug yours over here. We’ve got you covered! All you need to bring is their food and their collar/harness.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and have been a pet sitter since 2002. I've owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chinchillas, and chickens. In college, I worked for a mobile dog groomer. I'm a marine biologist, so I work offshore often. My schedule has me at sea for 3-6 weeks and then home for a few weeks where I'm fully available to look after your fur babies! I'll be sure to keep my availability updated so you know when I'm around to help out. You know your animals and what they need to be happy and thrive, so I'll do my best to always make sure they're cared for in the way you prefer.

“Sarah was great with our dogs, the immediately took to her and her walk tired them out. Being both smart high energy dogs she did a wonderful job as they napped hard shortly after their walk. Will definitely book again.”

“Alexia is wonderful! As my dog can be skittish, she met Riley first. She asked lots of questions about taking care of my dog, questions I hadn’t even thought of. Alexia was patient, attentive and loving. I would certainly have Alexia take care of my dog again.”

About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I am the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level! I live in a gated community with ample space for leashed walks and time in the grass for pets who are boarding. I maintain a clean, second-story apartment which includes a balcony and dog bed. I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.

“Riley had a great time with Destinee! He opened right up to her during the meet and greet and enjoyed spending time with her. He always looks forward to their walks and playtime!”

About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.

About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)

About: I've been taking care of my family pets as far back as I can remember! I have a small dog of my own who I spoil beyond belief. I love cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes and I truly believe they deserve every good thing life could possibly offer them. I've dealt with all the ups and downs of having pets from allergies, injuries, diets, and fleas to cuddles and grooming. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and help you give them the attention and care that they deserve! I'll be available all summer outside of the evenings Friday-Sunday due to my part time job. During the fall I'm free every Monday and Wednesday. I'll also be available from morning to noon on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My own pets have taught me so much about caring for dogs and cats. I understand their body language when they are agitated or hurt and I pay close attention to the things that catch their eyes. Therefore, I can easily keep your pet out of trouble in and out of the house whether that be in your yard, living room, or walks. My priority is always their safety and happiness. I can easily crate dogs, keep them on their leash, and be wary of that suspicious crunch sound in their mouth when they find something they shouldn't have.

About: I've had my own cats and dogs since I was born and started taking care of animals all throughout my neighborhood since I was 10. I love all animals and can't wait to love yours! I have my own labradoodle right now and she is the sweetest but loves to cause trouble so I'm always making sure she's getting play time and treats! I've been pet sitting for families in my neighborhood for around 10 years now and am open to care for your pet with any qualifications you provide. Whether that's going for a walk, having playtime, or simply lounging and giving some pets!

About: I own an energetic and loving Australian Shepherd mix. I have taken care of several dogs in the past. This included walking/feeding/sitting with the dogs. I absolutely love walking dogs! I know how hard it is to take care of your pet with a busy schedule, so I can help by taking care of your furry friend! I work 3-4 days a week and have a pretty flexible schedule. My schedule varies week to week, so I should be able to work with you to take care of your dog! I will walk your dog and help them get plenty of exercise. If you have a fenced in backyard, I will let them run around and play. I will give your doggos all the pets and snuggles. You will get lots of pictures of your dog having a great time!

About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that each pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is flexible and centered around your pets. I'm available throughout the week & weekends to give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, playtime, and dependable care whenever they need me! I care for every pet as if they were my own while carefully following your instructions and maintaining their normal routine! I prioritize safety by securing doors, monitoring food and water, while providing plenty of attention. I'll also respect your home and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your babies are safe, happy and loved!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the unique needs of felines, and I provide a comfortable, loving environment for all pets. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular feeding, playtime, and walks throughout the day, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate special needs and adjust routines as required, all while keeping your pet safe and happy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and receive attention. I follow your pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, while offering extra care if needed, such as medication administration or special dietary needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions for their care, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have over 7 years of experience working in the veterinary field and bring a knowledgeable, compassionate approach to every pet in my care. I am especially experienced with senior pets and those requiring extra support, including insulin injections, oral and topical medications, and eye medications. I am also comfortable assisting pets with mobility challenges and making sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their visit. Younger pets can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and high-energy playtime to keep them happy and entertained. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I strive to provide care that is tailored to each individual pet. Most importantly, I treat every animal as if they were my own and want both pets and their families to feel comfortable and confident in my care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable balancing feeding, exercise, medications, cleaning, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also work daily at an animal hospital, where I care for animals with a wide range of needs. My experience has made pet care feel like second nature, and I’m used to providing reliable, attentive care both at work and at home. I can cater to all sorts of animals and there individual personalities. If you have a high energy pup I love to run with them or throw a ball around for as long as they need. If there’s a coach potato in need of belly rubs and ear scratches I’ll gladly sit there for hours.
