About: I have been taking care of animals since I was about 12 years old. I grew up with animals in my home so I feel that pets are members of the family. I was the primary trainer of our dogs in our home including basic tricks & leash training. Now that I'm an adult, I foster cats and also volunteer at a local rescue as a kitty cuddler to help socialize cats who are ferrel or shy to help them with a smooth transition to their forever homes. I also have experience taking care of other animals such as turtles, fish & a hedgehogs. I also have experience with administering some medications to dogs & cats. I currently have a very flexible schedule because I'm working on creating my own business. I can be available mornings, afternoons & evenings if need be. I have a large neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. We have a screened in porch that will allow for off leash play & fresh air.

About: Hi there! My name is Rio. I moved here from Canada and in Canada I had Rover with multiple repeat clients and reviews. With or without a dog I love being active, whether it’s walking, running, sitting in a park, I love anything to do with fresh air and being outside. I am an easy going person who is kind and caring. I’ve always owned a dog or two - or three :) as well as many other types of animals such as horses, turtles, rats, rabbits, and fish! I love having a buddy to cuddle or play and I can adjust my day or walk to be as active as a new pup or as couch bound as an oldie, just let me know what your special one likes! If you have questions please ask! Look forward to hearing from you! I currently work only a few hours a week on my own online business - I really have all the flexibility needed to adjust my day to fit theirs! I will follow the same rules, walks, and / or paths that you have and what you do on outings so our furry friends don't get confused.
About: I've had a dog for 17 years as a family pet that I took care of. When he got older he needed to be carried everywhere. My parents were always working so I took on the role of taking care of him. Now I have a puppy of my own that is less than one. I have trained her along with my other 4-year-old golden. I love animals, and I want to be able to help others in need. I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have two dogs of my own that I take care of. I am available during the week at any time to help you and your pups! When it comes to walking pets it's important to prioritize their safety and well-being. I also care about the dogs being comfortable with me, and I will ensure that. Overall, I will be attentive, patient, and loving, and make sure they have a great time.
