Dog Walking Good Hope

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I've attended obedience training classes with several of my own dogs and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to better understand canine behavior, body language, and the individual needs of each animal. This has helped me develop a patient, attentive approach to caring for dogs with different personalities, including those who may need extra time, reassurance, or structure to feel comfortable. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering oral medications, assisting with post-surgery recovery, caring for rescue puppies, and helping dogs work through separation anxiety. I also have experience providing overnight care for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and helping a rescued kitten adjust to a new home. At home, I'm a proud pet parent to Nala, my 11-year-old Greyhound/Shepherd mix, and Koda, my 5-month-old Chiweenie! We also share our home with my roommates' two senior dogs, giving me daily experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Living in a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of recognizing each dog's individual needs, understanding their body language, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and secure. I'm a firm believer that every pet deserves more than just the basics. Whether it's reinforcing their favorite tricks, enjoying a walk, engaging in playtime, or providing extra affection, I make an effort to connect with each animal and understand what makes them happy. I also know how important routine and consistency are to a pet's well-being. When caring for someone else's furry family member, one of my first priorities is learning their established schedule, habits, and preferences so I can provide a familiar, comfortable experience while their owner is away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I'm an early bird, usually starting my day around 5 a.m., and I currently work part-time three days a week with a fairly flexible schedule. This allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week and accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for my own dogs is already an important part of my daily routine, so incorporating walks and drop-in visits for your furry family members is something I genuinely look forward to! I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and I'll do my best to accommodate their established feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or some extra attention and companionship while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for you and your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Before caring for your pet, I'll make sure I understand their feeding and bathroom schedules, medical needs, behavioral tendencies, and any household rules or special instructions. I believe maintaining consistency is especially important when their favorite humans are away, and I'll do my best to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. For pets who may be shy or anxious, I take a calm, patient, and confident approach. I never want an animal to feel pressured into interacting with me. Instead, I give them the space to observe, explore, and approach me when they're comfortable, allowing trust to develop naturally. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll remain attentive to your pet's behavior, comfort, and surroundings to help ensure they have a safe and positive experience. And one of my favorite parts of pet sitting? Sending photo updates! I love capturing those little moments that let you see what your furry family member is up to while you're away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: Hello, I am a long time caregiver who grew up raising purebred golden retrievers and also fostering both cats and dogs with my family. I have 3 years experience working as a kennel attendant in an animal hospital where I would feed, water, clean, walk, medicate and play with an average of 5-10 dogs per day (20-30 if it’s a holiday) feeding them 2x and day with 3 walks per day. I love working with animals, it’s my passion and I’m very aware of animal body language and what to look for when they may need some space. I also have a small collection of plants and am very comfortable watering your plants while you are away if needed! I don’t currently have a pet and I am missing the pet owner life! I’m available all day any day to care for your pet. I am very vigilant and responsible with all animals. I live with my parents so it will not just be me in the home, there will be eyes on your fur baby at all times.

“Kimberly is the BEST!! Our two dogs absolutely love her! She is very communicative, prompt, and so sweet with the dogs. We are very grateful that we have found her!”

“This is my first experience using Rover and I feel like I lucked out immediately finding Paulena. My dog (and mom) loved her. Paulena is communicative and kind. I’ll definitely book with her again. Thank you!”

About: I’ve assisted with dog sitting alongside my mom and grandma, helping with playtime, and companionship. I’m patient, attentive, and following routines to ensure dogs feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have flexible availability as I am unemployed and already care for my own two cats and two bearded dragons daily. I provide attentive care in peoples homes, following routines closely. As an owner of two cats and two bearded dragons, I’m experienced with safety, cleanliness, and gentle handling.

“She was able to book last minute due to a cancellation. She was great, on time, and the dogs loved her. I felt super comfortable leaving them with her and I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years, including my 4 cats and a bearded dragon who are very friendly and chill. I also pray for and feed the stray animals in my neighborhood because I care deeply about their well-being. I treat my pets like my children—I make sure they’re fed, bathed, and always feel safe and loved. I can’t be away from them for too long because they need me, and honestly, I need them too. Animals mean the world to me, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care. You can trust they’ll be safe and happy in my hands. Please do not request me if you are not nearby, thank you 🙏🏽I’m usually available on weekends, and during the week I’m free after 11am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On all other weekdays, I’m available starting at 9 AM. I’m flexible and always happy to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets in my care. I have a calm, pet-safe home with 4 loving cats—two love being around me all the time, while the other two prefer quiet, hidden spots to rest. I also have a proper setup for my bearded dragon. I can easily separate animals if needed. Whether in your home or mine, I follow all care instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply cared for with gentle, one on one attention. - The reason I'm providing low prices is because I'm new to Rover and I'd like to keep quality pet care within reach of as many families as possible while I build up my profile and nice reviews. Not because I provide low-quality service—I want you to feel assured and at ease in hiring me to look after your pets, knowing they'll receive trustworthy and loving attention without going over your budget.

About: I have over 30 years of experience with dogs and cats that were just born babies to fully grown and elderly. Growing up, my family would take in pets whos owners had past away. This included many different breeds, but also most of them were elderly that needed some extra love and care. I also had my own range of pets from fish to frogs to mice to geckos growing up and of course cats and dogs. I have 6 years as a desert tortoise biologist and love all kinds of pets. I recently started a part time job, so I am flexible and mostly at the house. I am able to board pets starting from 5pm to 8pm and can start daycare for most days at 7am. We have a yard with a fenced off runner and a separate grassy area for your pups to play in and do their business. We do have a cat, but we have a gate that can separate the upstairs from the downstairs. We have plenty of room for kennels or crates if your fur baby needs them.

My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while they wait for their favorite human to return.

This allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and giving your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me and their surroundings. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could create a safety concern. I also keep you updated while you’re away and am happy to send photos or check in so you know your pet is doing well. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

About: Of all animals I have the most experience with dogs. I love dogs all shapes and sizes We've always had a dog at home and I have lots of experience, caring for playing with and walking dogs, including bath time. I'm a recent graduate of heritage high school. I took agriculture at school and worked with the animals on our school farm I'm looking to do rover as often as possible. I don't have any other obligations at this time. So I can dedicate myself to your pets. I am very careful about fences and doors. I'm mindful of owner instructions regarding where their pets can be. And where they are not allowed. I am mindful of them while they are eaten. And while they are playing, to make sure that they remain safe. I checked the pavement before I take a dog out on walks to make sure it's not too hot and always make sure to wash their bowls so that I can help prevent bacteria

About: Growing up my neighbors and family friends knew I adored animals and I was responsible and reliable so I always took care of their animals on summer breaks for them! I am currently a stay at home mom and I care for my 16 year old poodle mix and my 6 month old chihuahua. I have a gated court yard and backyard. I have a gated courtyard with turf grass dog friendly and two other dogs to keep your dogs company. We also have a dog park in my community that my dogs frequent and I have a crate in case this is needed for your dog for training purposes.

“First of many bookings for sure!!! Thank you for caring for our puppy!! Lots of communication and pictures through. We are very pleased and relieved that Noelle had a nice walk!”

About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked as a pet sitter for three different families. During that time, I cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, providing companionship, administering basic care, and following each family’s specific routines and instructions. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep the environment clean, provide fresh water, monitor their well-being, and give them attention. I believe clear communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit.

About: So i’ve dealt with dogs since I was kid. I pop in to take care of my parents dogs from time to time which is a tiny mutt and a husky. Currently I own a inu, but I do have experience with dealing with dogs of all sizes. I genuinely have a love for them. I am extremely patient and caring as well as careful. So i’m usually available most of the week to take care of dogs. I try to walk my own dog daily, and i make sure there is food and water. Generally daily walks and just basic care works for my dog, but I have taken care of other’s people’s dogs that did require more care or more attention. I’m generally a fast learner and very attentive to my dog’s needs and others.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds for over 21 years. My wife and I have been lucky to have been parents to 5 dogs. We currently have two but we have had up to 4 at one time 🤗. They've all lived long lives even though 2 passed from cancer. We still take in strays and make every effort to get them back to their homes. I ensure our pets have regular visits to the vet, eat good food, and are groomed regularly. I gently train them to be well behaved members of our pack. I love all animals and believe they should be treated well. I am retired and have plenty of time to walk and play with them on a daily basis basis. I look forward to making sure your fur babies get plenty of exercise and fun. I have a fenced yard on almost an acre of land with plenty of room to play and explore. Our two dogs are friendly while one is laid back and the other is a little more active and curious.

“Ludwika walked my lab Stella for over 2 months 3 times a week, Stella would get so excited when she saw her coming up the walk way. Very prompt, very polite & highly recommended. Book walks with Ludwika if you want your pup to have a wonderful experience!”
