Dog Walking Finklea

About: Growing up in the animal rescue and care world, I’ve looked after everything from horses to mice. Over the years, I’ve fostered, reconditioned, and rehomed abused and abandoned animals, helping them learn to trust again. I’m experienced in animal behavior across life stages, including neonatal and senior pets. My goal is to provide every animal I meet with as much love, guidance, and attentive care as they deserve. I live on a small homestead with my husband, a stay-at-home dad and disabled veteran, and our four children. I’m a self-employed Realtor and the owner of LABZ Pet and Farm Sitting LLC, so I have the flexibility to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I’m currently attending Unity Environmental University, working toward my Bachelor of Science in Companion Animal Behavior. My program is fully online, which means I can bring my laptop with me and easily keep up with coursework during overnight stays or extended sits. I strictly follow the guidelines and routines you provide, because you know your pets best. When no specific instructions are given, I use a thoughtful, age-appropriate schedule for dogs and cats at different life stages. In general, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged: walking and playtime, refilling food and water according to your specifications, cleaning up any messes, and providing baths when needed. I can also pick up pet supplies or groceries upon request, so you come home to happy pets and a stress-free environment.

About: Altogether, I have 3 cats and 2 dogs under my roof! I have a German Shepherd mix, and two cats of my own. My grandfather who lives with me, has a dog of his own and she is blind. My cousin who lives with me, also has a a cat! I used to work at BARK! Pet resort. I used to handle a lot of dogs in all shapes and sizes in a small setting. I love working with dogs and cats. I would love to treat your furry best friend as one of my own. I am a stay at home mom! My two year loves dogs of all sizes! I’m free to give your furry best friend a lot of fun! I have a German Shepard mix of my own and two cats! One of my cats have a lot of energy and one of them has 6 toes per paw! I make sure that they are taken care of to the absolute best of my ability!

About: With over a decade of experience in animal care, I’ve had the joy of working with everything from dogs and puppies to exotic animals like monkeys and tigers. I’ve also owned and operated a professional dog kennel, where I provided exceptional boarding services and made every pet feel like part of the family. My true passion is creating joyful, fulfilling experiences for the pets in my care. Whether it’s taking extra time for those long, joyful sniffs and grass rolls, cuddling on the couch, or playing their favorite game, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, enriched, and happy while you’re away. Every pet deserves the best, and I go above and beyond to give them a fun, stress free, and loving experience. Having rescued and cared for dogs in need, I bring a deep sense of compassion to everything I do. Rover allows me to continue offering the personalized care that pets deserve, treating them like family and making their time with me as special as possible. This is my full time job, giving me the flexibility to offer your pet personalized care throughout the day. With a 3 year old daughter, we’re always active, and I love including pets in our daily routines, whether it's a fun walk, playtime in the yard, or cozy snuggle while we watch a movie. My schedule allows me to ensure your pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need, while also balancing my family life. Travel Surcharge Notice: Please note that for round-trip travel exceeding 20 miles, a $1.00 per mile surcharge will be added after booking. I’m happy to travel up to 100 miles to care for your pet! When I’m with your dog, I treat them like family. I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your household, so I make sure to keep their environment familiar and comforting, just as it is when you're home. Whether I’m walking them, visiting, or staying overnight, I follow their routine to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. You can trust that your dog will receive the same love, care, and attention as I would give my own pets, all while respecting your home and their space.

“Absolutely phenomenal!!!! Went above and beyond to take care of my babies, at the last minute at that!!!!”

About: I have 4 years of hands-on experience working in pet stores, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m especially good with anxious pets, puppies still learning routines, and senior animals who need extra patience and attention. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while keeping owners updated with plenty of photos and communication. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re hanging out with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and weekend care, and I always make time to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and updates so your pet stays happy and comfortable while you’re away. With 4 years of experience working in pet stores, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I always prioritize safety, patience, and creating a calm environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort levels, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and communication so you always know your pet is in good hands.

About: My whole life, I've grown up with cats and dogs (tabby's and pit-bulls to be exact). I have trained 3 puppies (basic commands like sit and stay) and have taken care of one senior dog (18) and a senior cat (17). I do prefer a week in advance heads up, but will help as best as I can! Open to early mornings and late nights. Just communicate your needs and I will do my best to accommodate you. Pets are always cared for in a safe, clean, and supervised environment, whether in my home or yours. I remove hazards, maintain routines, and prioritize comfort, security, and trust. In clients’ homes, I respect all instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for at all times.

About: I treat every pet like family—because they deserve nothing less. With experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, I understand that each pet has unique needs. I’m patient, attentive, and trained in basic obedience techniques, making me especially skilled with energetic pups or pets needing a little extra guidance. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it doesn’t feel like a task, it feels like time well spent. I structure my days to prioritize the pets in my care, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I enjoy creating a routine that makes each pet feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medication, or cuddle sessions. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, and I make sure they get both mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I follow all instructions carefully, from meal prep to walk routes, and make sure pets get the same love and attention they’re used to. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

About: I will enjoy having the opportunity to take care of your baby. I have 8+ years of experience with dogs of different sizes and breeds. I am professional, personable, accommodating, and qualified. Pet care has an open door in my schedule currently. All of my other obligations are flexible and can be done at a time of my choice. Honestly it depends on each dogs situation. Whether we walk around the neighborhood, go to a dog park, hang out at the house, your dog will be taken care of. I will keep your dog safe, clean up after them, and hopefully they return home happier then when they left.

About: I've been an animal lover since childhood, training dogs, and worked a pet store for many years. Making sure an animal is treated just like a child with the best care and nutrition is my passion. I am very one on one with my pets, taking time to play fetch with them and go on walks so we both get our exercise in for the day. Animals always seem to take right to me. I am skilled in administering medications and know dog CPR. I also have extensive first aid training from my time as a volunteer fire fighter. My current availability is very open , any time, even last minute notice is okay. I do work 8-5 on a average Shift. If you trust your loved one to me, you won't be let down!

“Destiny was amazing! She took awesome care of our fur babies, and sent us pic/video updates during each of their walks. We would definitely book her again!”

“Sarah was great! She was extremely reliable and handled my 2 big dogs with ease. My dogs were well taken care of and her communication was great. We have some complicated instructions when it comes to getting our dogs past our electric fence and she handled that with no problems.”

About: I adopted my own boy and learned a lot just from our short visits in the shelter. I was asked to volunteer at the shelter for my strong dedication to helping him learn and providing the love he needed. I currently work at the hospital with an unusual shift. My schedule does vary, but I’m ready to fill my extra days loving in some fur babies! I have my own dog and know the worry of having to leave them by themselves. I will take care of your fur baby like my own! Unfortunately I will not be able to take any dogs into my own home as my current dog is animal aggressive from being attacked previously.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life when i didn’t have a pet and i’ve always been so natural at caring for and loving them. Rescue animals are my suit so training is a skill i have required I currently work a part time job and attend college however that only takes up my day until about 1 PM on weekdays, so i have a lot of time to work around that set schedule to care for your pets! i can cater to any needs of your fur baby such as walking, letting out, crating, or anything else (in addition to having fun) i have a lot of experience.
