Dog Walking In Encanto

“Ben was great with my dog, Veronica. She loved him and he took good care of her on the walks. I needed him at the last minute and he was very reliable and just a genuinely nice guy 😊. I’ll definitely use him again!”

“Very communicative and professional. Highly recommend”

“Sherry has been great with my pitbull. Pepper can be reactive & has alot of energy for a 10 yo dog & Sherry handles her great (even runs some of her energy out when needed) Sherry is also quick to respond, which is helpful because I tend to book last minute. Thank You Sherry!”

“Jordan was fantastic! He was punctual, friendly, and super easy to communicate with from the start. He followed all of our instructions and was very accommodating to our specific requests, which we really appreciated. Our dogs were well cared for and clearly comfortable with him. We’d absolutely recommend Jordan and would happily book with him again!”

“Morgan has been wonderful for my Annie, who is 11 and not used to being home alone. She is so happy and calm on the days Morgan comes to play with her. I appreciated all of Morgan’s thorough questions about how to best care for Annie and the time she took to make sure she had a good rapport with her. Highly recommend!”

Carla D.

“Anna has been coming by for check ins and walks for several months now. She ensures that my dog gets some good quality time during the day and she worked in getting my shy dog comfortable taking longer walks around the neighborhood when the weather is nice!”

Eve L.

“Super helpful and kind!”

About: I have been pet sitting for 20 plus years whether it’s friends or family. I am a veterinary technician and have been in the field for 12 years going on 13. I look at my career as a passion and not JUST a career! I love and enjoy my job more than anything. I am currently not working, so there will always be someone around to watch your babies. I have three dogs and a horse of my own. My talents/knowledge go beyond small animals. I have experience with critters (exotic), small animals and large animals. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate any need. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I don’t work right now giving me more time to spend with your fur babies. Giving them the love and attention deserved while you are away, making them not skip a beat of having a human there for them. I follow instructions carefully and helping your fur baby feel like they aren’t missing a beat in their routine. Giving them the love and care you as pet parents would give.

“Bailey was very reliable and easy to coordinate with. She was sweet to Byron. Would definitely contact her again for a future opportunity.”

“Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.”

Liana R.

“Megan was great at communicating and updated me on Chloe. She was on time and would definitely recommend her every time!”

About: I have years of experience dogsitting and housesitting for families with multiple dogs. From energetic Boxers to senior dogs to anxious dogs, I have the experience. I am new to Rover and typically have dogsat through family friends/word of mouth. Looking for some company during my WFH job during the week! I have a work from home job with limited meetings. I am available to hang out for longer periods than just a quick potty break or walk. Available during the day after 8 am CST and evenings. Weekends not available. Your dog will be treated with as much care and love as I treat my dog with. I am attentive and diligent with whatever your dog needs. Whether that be extra long pets or patience when your dog is sniffing on a walk, you can count on me. Experienced with older senior dogs and younger dogs that require extra watchful eyes for mischief. I always will leave your house in the same condition as it was when I arrived.

About: Hello 🙋🏻‍♀️ My name is Joanna and I am a lover of all animals big and small. I am lucky enough to be a full time work from home fur mama to Haiti, my sassy 12 year old Husky. Haiti and I live with my boyfriend Bryan who you will see from time to time helping with the fur babies. We strive to always provide a worry free experience not only for you but for your pets. As a fur mama myself, I understand the importance of maintaining your pups regular schedule and routines for their mental health and wellness. We do this by setting alarms for feedings and medications. We provide a loving and homey safe stay by treating them as if they were our own fur baby to help not only give you peace of mind but to have your pet feeling as if they are on a fun vacation with their favorite auntie and uncle. We provide a calm and attentive one on one personal care by limiting the amount of animals in our care to only 1-2 families at a time with considerations to only match up friends that will be good playmates or napmates with one another. I have over 20 years of experience in caring for a variety animals including fish, hedgehogs, lizards, cats and dogs ranging from kittens to Great Danes, which has allowed me to easily adapt to all their different temperaments and behaviors. I am animal CPR certified through the American Red Cross and do have experience with oral or injected medications if your pup needs them. We want our home to be comfortable and stress free for your fur baby and ours when you are away. Here they are free to roam inside the house and in the backyard and can treat our house like their home away from home❤️. ✨ New to Rover?

“Hannah was great! Very reliable and on time. My dog looks forward to his walks with her! My dog is very particular with his walks so I love that Hannah sticks to the normal route that he normally walks.”

About: I have always grown up with pets in my household, specifically young dogs and old dogs! I have worked with other families who have trusted me with their pets, and I enjoy meeting new animals each day! I also have history fostering a dog in my twenties and I truly do enjoy it! I work from home full time so there is plenty of space in my day to take pups on walks and give loving attention when needed! I enjoy going on walks, and have a fenced in grass area at my apartment to enjoy with the pets as well as a nearby dog park.

About: I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society for years, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages from playful puppies to senior cats. I’m patient, reliable, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality (especially the sassy ones like my cat Monkey!). I treat every pet like my own and always go the extra mile to make them feel safe and loved. I’m currently working part time as a server so I mostly work nights and occasionally “morning” shifts (10am-4pm). On days where I work mornings I am able to come before and after work and days where I work nights I can come in the morning afternoon and after my shifts. I will make sure to be respectful to any rules you have for your animals. I am willing to take long walks and play with your doggos as well as make sure they have everything they need while you are gone. I understand how uncomfortable it can be to leave your babies while you are gone and I want to make sure that they feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

About: I’m the first person friends and family reach out to when they need a sitter (not limited to just dogs!) Also, my mom and I have bred and raised dogs my entire life. It is a passion of mine to enrich the lives of animals! i’m readily available to tend to your pet’s needs and provide the necessary attention! :) As of now my schedule is completely open, feel free to reach out out with any questions! Attention is key. Almost like having a toddler, it’s extremely important to stay aware of safety hazards and remain aware of your pets necessities while also giving enrichment to the fullest potential.

About: I aim to provide you and your dearest pet with the best experiences and outcomes to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and safe. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive w/ individualized attention and a calm, well-maintained, and hygienic environment (two pup parents + a professionally trained small dog). I frequently care for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special diets or allergies, and dogs who have unique behavioral or environmental preferences/sensitivities. . Whether your pup needs a customized routine, extra supervision, special accommodations, or simply lots of nurturing and pampering, I’ll provide patient and attentive, personalized care. Additionally, my communication will be professional, and follow-ups will be provided promptly. . I look forward to developing a special bond and doting on your beloved pet! Given that I'm building clientele, here’s $20 off your first booking with Rover in exchange for your feedback: https://www.rover.com/sit/susanb60924 . Note - To provide the healthiest environment for your pet and mine, I will provide proof of vaccinations/preventative medications, upon request. . tl;dr: You’ll notice that my profile is robust, which is intentional because 1) I want to ensure that I’m a good fit for your family and pet’s needs, and 2) It’s essential to have a thorough and holistic view of your pet to ensure you’ll have peace of mind and assurance while you’re away. . Experience: My entire life, I’ve gravitated to all creatures, big and small, and I finally have the opportunity to indulge my love of pets while helping others simultaneously! . My professional background in the corporate digital technology industry and 40+ years of personal experience caring for animals is rooted in growing up in a rural Midwestern farming community. My earliest memories consist of helping my parents raise and train award-winning show and service dogs for people who have disabilities, breeding and showing Clydesdales, loving on my cats/kittens, and tending to countless aquatic and insect friends. Even though I’m allergic to all animals, except for dogs, you’d still find me frolicking in nature, surrounded by farm animals/livestock, obsessively studying and doting on my animal family and other cherished critters. . While living in Chicago, I volunteered at PAWS (the Midwest’s largest non-profit no-kill animal shelter). I consistently travel locally and cross-country to pet sit for friends and family and never pass up an opportunity to be in the company of the most precious and bestest boys/girls (of the animal species, that is). . Due to diligently catering to my pets, I have robust awareness and knowledge and am tremendously experienced with all aspects of a pet’s life, personality, and needs: puppies, seniors, rescues, special needs, terminal illness, parasitic/intestinal ailments, medications and administering subcutaneous fluid IVs (renal failure), food allergies, specialized diets/restrictions, treating other medical conditions, training, behavioral issues, and grooming/hygiene best practices. . About my pets: My sassy and exuberant silky terriers (previously Miss Addi and now, 3 1/2 year-old Tater Tot) have been/are always by my side. Each moved interstate with us, living the city life in Chicago, then coastal Southern California, and now Phoenix. We’ve created countless joy-filled memories exploring and adventuring (road trips to national parks, vacationing in cities, visiting friends, dining out, extended sniff-patrol strolls, hiking in the mountains, camping, walks on the beach, kayaking, and boating). . Unfortunately, Miss Addi endured Cushing’s syndrome and started experiencing strokes and seizures. Shortly after moving to AZ, she was then diagnosed with terminal renal failure. We were determined and committed to giving her the most comfortable and best life possible. The final two years of her journey required around-the-clock monitoring, regimented medical interventions, and customized care. . While it was such a gut-wrenching experience, we diligently researched, sought out experts, and immersed ourselves in learning about the intricacies of senior/emergency/end-of-life hospice care and how to grieve and cope with the loss of a beloved companion. She lived a full life, we celebrated her 16th birthday and she chose to pass over the rainbow bridge later the same day. . A month later, Tater Tot joined our family. Though he has experienced his fair share of unexpected ailments at an early age, he is such a resilient, demure, and cheerful little fella! We love him to pieces; he is simply the best! . Further Context: I truly empathize and understand the level of decision-making that goes into finding trustworthy, quality care for your beloved companions. Since Rover’s inception, I’ve relied on its service model (as a consumer) due to limitations with traditional dog boarders, and it often wasn’t an ideal solution for my dog’s needs. While we’ve had extremely positive experiences with daycare/boarding facilities, we’ve also dealt with miscommunication, irresponsible and dangerous situations that resulted in stress-induced weight loss, neglect, behavioral issues, illness, and emergency vet visits. . With thorough vetting, Rover gave me peace of mind that my most precious family member’s well-being and special needs were prioritized while catering to my busy schedule and last-minute travel engagements. Rover allowed me to move seamlessly through the demands of life and was instrumental while transitioning to new cities. I am grateful for the Rover Petting community and their continued care for my fur babies throughout all phases of their lives. My schedule is flexible, and I am more than happy to work together on a mutually agreed upon routine and care plan for your pet. For short-term stays/overnight boarding at my residence, please consider the following. Household members: - My Partner works remotely. He grew up with golden retrievers, golden doodles, and many other pets and sincerely loves all animals.

Same for Miss Addi. - Fully vaccinated, receives tic/flea guard and preventative heartworm medications - Tater Tot responds to basic commands, plays well with dogs, and acts politely around humans and other animals.
