Dog Walking Farmdale

About: For the past 18 years, I’ve been a trusted pet sitter and dog walker for family, friends, coworkers, and employers. Today, my husband and I share our home with two cats and an axolotl. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for animals of all ages and needs, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, animals recovering from illness, and those with special physical, emotional, or dietary requirements. Much of this experience comes from caring for my own pets as well as the pets of others. If I am not confident that I can meet your pets needs based on your request I will let you know promptly so you can reach out to another pet sitter who can provide the care your pet needs. I believe animals enrich our lives with unconditional love, companionship, and joy. When they’re in my care, I strive to provide that same level of love, attention, patience, and respect in return. Pet care fits easily into my current daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am able to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines and can plan my day around the needs of each pet. This flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care rather than trying to fit pet care around a busy work schedule. When I first meet a pet, I like to let them approach me at their own pace and take time to build trust. I understand that being separated from their people and meeting someone new can be stressful, so I focus on maintaining their familiar routines and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, needs, routines, and favorite activities so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and happy while their family is away. I also remain attentive to potential hazards and take steps to keep pets safe in their home. I am careful to follow owners instructions for pet care and rules of the home to make sure everyone is safe. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel most comfortable and content. For a pets comfort, I do my best keep their routine and environment as consistent as consistent as possible in the absence of their owners.

“Kianna helped us on short notice when we had an emergency situation. We left quickly with practically no instructions - but Kianna was so easy to work with - so professional and so great at communicating about our pets. We are so very thankful to her and would highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve had my own dogs, cats and exotic animals my entire life and helping with other pets for at least 10 years. I also have experience in boarding animals for rehoming but would love to help pets that already have furever homes. Between the two adults in my home, someone is almost always home. I work from home and my mom works from home. I have three children that also love dogs but I would not leave them responsible for the care or safety of your animal. I treat your pets like they were my own. Follow your prefered feeding schedule, walks, and play with your dog. Your wish is my command

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets ever since I was little (dogs, cats, birds, and even guinea pigs). I love how happy and how much joy animals bring to everyday life! Hi my name is Brianna, but friends call me Bri. I currently work full time, but am looking for a way to get out in the sunshine while getting some exercise and earning a little extra cash. I know how much your fur babies mean to you so I promise to always prioritize safety while watching or walking your pet. Whether that means keeping doors closed, using a leash when walking, or crating when leaving.

“We used Mya for a month to help with our working line German Shepherd puppy during my third trimester. Mya was incredibly helpful and knowledgable, and always did more than we asked. She is such a sweetheart and we are so grateful for her!!”

“First time using Rover, and Stephanie made it a stress free experience. She offered to meet with our dog (Callie) first, prior to booking, to get a feel for her and her routine. Callie had a great time on her walk and was a happy camper.”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life! I have taken care of puppies and dog sat for many years. I have experience working in a pet store / grooming salon. I have lots of free time at the moment, in between work and school for the month of August, so plenty of time and attention to give to your pets! I am patient and understanding. I try to encourage the pets and show them trust and love. I have range from calm to energetic, depending on the animal!

“Megan was accommodating to Lucy’s needs. After coming home from a 12 hr shift Lucy was not stressed. I look forward to using Megan in the future!”

About: Hello, my name is Olivia I am a mother of 2 boys and I work a fulltime job on the night shift 9pm to 730am Saturday to Tuesday or Sunday to Wednesday. I have 10 years of professional experience in the pet care industry and a lifetime of personal pet ownership—including my own dog of 12 years and 2 cats—I offer a level of expertise you can trust. I am a detail-oriented caregiver who prioritizes safety above all else, from double-checking gates to monitoring surroundings during walks. Whether you have dogs, cats, or exotic pets and reptiles, I am here to help. I provide frequent text updates and pictures to ensure you have total peace of mind while you’re away. I am a full time stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am home almost 24 hours a day every day. I know how to administer oral medication, take your pet for a walk and provide baths to animals. I am good at keeping pets on their schedules.

“Gabriella was awesome! She was very punctual, friendly, and took our dog for nice, long walks (when weather permitted). Would definitely book her again!”

About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.

About: What sets me apart is my professional animal-handling experience and my ability to work confidently with pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I spent two years working as an equine veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience monitoring animal health, safely handling and restraining animals, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and working in fast-paced situations. I also have extensive experience caring for and training my own dogs, including large breeds. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit their individual personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is a playful puppy learning good habits, a senior pet needing extra patience and care, or a dog that is nervous around new people, I focus on creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience. I am comfortable with administering medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners during walks and visits, and providing detailed updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I have a lot of time on the weekends to walk dogs but I also have some time in the mornings for a dog or two monday-thursday In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication instructions, and lots of love. I always pay attention to their body language and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and well-cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Danielle Martin. I have a master's degree in School Psychology from Millersville University and I work at a local school district. In my spare time, I enjoy being outside, cooking, and of course, spending time with all the doggos! I currently have a 6-year-old Bernese Mountain Mix, named Ryker, who I adopted in May 2020. Best quarantine decision ever! Previously, I have owned two Great Danes, so I have experience with large breeds. As a dog sitter, I aim to spend as much time with your dogs as possible, so that their time spent away from you is a pleasant one. If the dogs are up for it, I love taking them on walks and hikes, playing with their favorite toy together, and of course, snuggling and relaxing together. Since starting with Rover, I have met so many amazing pups of all ages and sizes. I also have experience with cats, small pets, birds, and reptiles! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently not working for the summer (one of the perks of being in public education!), which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am not providing in-home sitting at this time. When at a clients home, I am respectful of the property and aim to leave the home in the same (or better) condition as when I arrived.
