Dog Walking Excelsior

“Great as always”

PETER & RUTH G.

About: I have cared for animals for over 10 years on my own, which included letting them out taking them on walks, feeding them cleaning up outside bathing them. I also volunteer at shelters to help care for their animals. I have an extra few hours in my day, which allows me to have time to care for others when needed because I know how difficult it is to find a sitter while going away I would care for them just as I do my own with love respect and I would follow their routine and what they do for their pet so they feel comfortable while they are gone

About: I love dogs! Over the last 15 years I have fostered over 90 dogs and have owned 7 myself. I currently have 2 pups living with my husband and I. I enjoy loving on them and giving them an amazing life. Dogs have always been a vital part of my life and being able to provide a safe loving environment for other people's dogs makes my heart happy. My husband and I both work from home and are home bodies. Someone is home 96% of the time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and accommodate any schedule your pup is on. I have a small fenced yard and 2 fur kids to n keep your dog company. We can go on walks, always on leash. And best of all inclusive offer lots of love and attention to your pup. I will provide pics and videos of your pets.care and time with me.

“Diana has been so wonderful with my anxious pup. Laila has warmed up to her new human friend quicker than she does with most new people. She also gives her her medicine which is a huge relief. I am a nightshift nurse so my schedule is super bizarre but she is always quick to respond to any requests I ask which is helpful for planning purposes. Thanks Diana! Xoxo”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since day one! Growing up with both dogs and cats has given me a lifetime of experience in understanding and caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting a variety of breeds, from small and energetic Yorkies to loyal and protective German Shepherds. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or daily walks, I’m here to provide loving and attentive care for your furry family members. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday! I work until 5pm during the week, but would love to take some extra much needed walks/cuddles/playtimes after work and/or weekends! I have a beagle/blue heeler pup at my home now who loves to go to dog parks and for walks! I have watched countless of family & friends dogs and/or cats in the past! I understand that all dogs enjoy and need different activities in order to fulfill their days! Whether that's from walks, playing ball, treat toys, or just snuggles! I can do them all☺️

“Matthew has been great with my one year old German Shepherd, Violet, when he sees her twice a week. Highly recommend!”

About: I have 25 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. We live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. We have a large, fenced in, backyard and plenty of in and outdoor fun for your pup. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions. We work from home and someone is here 90% of the time. We can tailor our schedule to your specifications or as your pet needs. I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).

About: I’ve taken care of multiple types of animals ranging from hamsters, amphibians, flying friends, and of course our furry friends cats and dogs. I have taken care of rescues and strays as well as animals of various ages and sizes. I also live and active lifestyle & can take your furbabies on the best adventures! I take care of my pets on the daily from feeding and walking to scheduling vet visits. I have special free time set aside for new furry friends to meet as well! I have a huge respect for personal space and the care of furry family. I am able to meet and care for animals in any location as well as provide specialty care (i.e. medicine or special treats)

About: I've had several dogs growing up into adulthood. I currently am employed as an EMT full-time 2 days a week, and a dog dad. My job allows me to see various dog behaviors, and how to deal with animals when they are stressed or in distress. As an animal lover myself, I know how hard it is to leave your loved one behind while away. I am trustworthy, respectful, and responsible; with credible references. I am currently looking to sit/walk during my off-time which happens to be about 5 days out of the week. I would be available anytime: morning, noon, or night. I have a larger dog named Bear. His name speaks for itself! He is 100 pounds of pure love for anything he sees. Bear is special and will give your pet space if need be. His previous best friend was a 6 pound Chihuahua! I have a small backyard if need be, but usually I will walk around town with a bag for cleanup.

“Kimberly responds very quickly and is always on time. I would definitely recommend to others!”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I lived on a farm for years with cows, chickens, turkeys, and quail! Big or small, scaley or fluffy, I love all animals and will give them the respect and care they need. 150lb newfy who wants head pats and to drool on me? Absolutely! 6lb 20 year old cat who wants to yell at me and avoid eye contact? Say less. I've dealt with epileptic dogs, bladder stones in cats, and even beakless chickens. I'm up for any challenge! As someone lucky enough to work from home, I can position my job around your pet schedule. Weather I bring my laptop and snuggle up with your pup for the afternoon, take lunch and take a walk with your pooch, or stop in in the evening after my shift to give your cat head kisses. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. Whatever your pets need, I'm your gal. I had 6 dogs growing up and like to think I know how to read them. Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for pets and love animals. We currently have an indoor dog and 2 cats, all rescue pets. I’ve also previously had bunnys, birds and reptiles. I have worked as a pet sitter / dog walker on and off for the past 30 years. I do have a 17 year old daughter who also adores animals, we call her the pet whisperer! She loves helping care for animals, when possible. I do have reliable transportation with all wheel or four wheel drive at all times, your pet will not be forgotten about. I do prefer to work with animals that have been spayed or neutered but have worked with those that have not been. I am currently a stay at home mom and hope to remain in this capacity. That being said I am available most days and times! For pets visiting my home we have a large front and back yard, tho not fenced in your pet will be on a leash outside at all times.

About: Lifelong animal lover with a goofy, friendly husky who keeps me active and smiling every day! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love are already part of my routine, and I would love to share that with your fur baby too. Your pet will be treated like family in my care—whether they need exercise, attention, belly rubs, or just a comfy companion. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus: my husky loves making new friends, and I also share his funny adventures on social media for fellow pet lovers to enjoy! I dedicate quality time to every pet and treat pet care seriously—whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or dog boarding. I make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, comfort, and care based on their needs. You’ll also receive lots of picture updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, and I always keep pet parents updated and informed. I offer dog boarding in a safe home with a fenced yard for plenty of supervised playtime, as well as walks and house sitting. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will make sure they receive lots of exercise, love, and care, along with regular photo updates.

“Scheduled on short notice and was amazing to work with highly recommend.”

About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life my family always had a pack of dogs and tons of cats, i always see to it that each pets needs are met and that they are shown endless amounts of love. i worked in an animal shelter and volunteered at both a pet store and wild life reserve. i have loved animals since as long as i can remember. i do have a young child but she loves animals just as much as i do and she has been around them since she was born so she knows exactly how animals are to be treated and that is with the utmost respect and kindness. i would love to open my home and my heart to all of your pets so i hope to hear from you soon. :)

About: I’ve shown a love for all animals by taking care of my childhood dog and also my neighbors and friends dogs since I was 15. I would come home from school and all I could think about was taking my dog for a walk. Feeding them their meals was the highlight of my day, just to see them as happy as they were. I have 2 cats now and they are my literal children. I work full time, but with the mornings and evenings open I can walk and/or check in. I’m the kind of person that if you need someone to watch your pets on a dime, I’ll be there! I will not be having pets in my home (apartment complex) but when I am at a clients house, the pets comfort is my upmost priority. I would rather the pet get to know me a bit before any services. That is the pet’s home and I am a new human. I’d be afraid too!

“Marian was very willing to provide her dog walking services on such a short notice after I had a previous plan backfire on me. While I couldn't meet her beforehand, we put in a plan for her to get my keys so she can meet Bandit and take him for walks. She was very professional and from what I can tell, Bandit enjoyed his time with her and the walks. Highly recommend Marian and will definitely be using her for future needs!”

“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets just as much as you do, I recommend Dani!! We have two high energy pups that like to get out and stretch their legs while we’re at work. Dani is amazing with taking them on walks and to the dog park! My pups get so excited for when she comes to let them out! She’s absolutely amazing with communication and letting you know what’s going on! She’s truly an amazing person to have watching your dogs, I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I grew up raising two dogs. I’m currently living with an adopted cat and fostering a kitten. I will treat your animals like my own, with love and respect. I’m a remote worker so my weekday schedule is very flexible. I’m available most weekends as well! Be sure to get in touch with me as early as you can for the best chances of booking me! I’ve looked after many different pets (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits) so I’m used to many different personalities! You will understand your pet better than anyone, so I look forward to working as a team to take care of your pets while you’re away.
