Dog Walking Good Hope

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.

About: I started caring professionally for animals when I was just 16 years old. In the veterinary facilities over the years, I worked my way up from kennel attendant, to customer service representative, to customer service supervisor, to customer service manager, to reproduction veterinary assistant. Over these years I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages. During my time as a reproduction veterinary assistant, I found a passion for breeding/deliveries/neonatal puppy care etc. I took this passion and started caring for other people’s pregnant momma dogs within my home. I delivered the puppies, and raised them for infinite weeks until said breeders found their forever families. I raised, cared for, and trained over 150 puppies within my home during the last 4 years. I established long lasting relationships with not only the momma dogs families, but also the families of many of the puppies I was blessed to raise here. Many of which now come to me to watch and care for their dogs/puppies while on vacation, busy day at work, or maybe need a bath/blowdry/brushout/nail trim etc. when needed. I wanted to open up my home and extend my love and animal care for anyone else who may need my service. I am home all day most days. Now that my kids are grown and come and go on their own, I have ability to care for others pets and fully accommodate any needs they may have. When pets are in my home, they can roam freely within designated areas, sleep in beds with us like they are family, or be crated off and on if preferred by their families. We have a fenced yard for outside playtime and a designated turf area for dogs to do their business.

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.

About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm caring for them was part of my daily routine. In addition, I volunteer at shelters and have experience fostering both dogs and cats as well as watching family and friend's animals when they are away. I do not currently work outside of the home, so I have a flexible schedule and time to dedicate to animal care, including walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and will provide them with lots of attention and companionship. We currently have three dogs and a cat of our own, so caring for animals is truly part of my everyday life. One of my dogs is reactive, which has given me firsthand experience in understanding triggers, reading body language, and creating a calm, structured environment to help them feel safe. I'm mindful with boundaries, slow introductions and importance of routine for dogs who need a little more support. My schedule is very open and flexible right now which means I can accommodate a variety of schedules and can be very attentive to each pet's needs and routine. If I'm staying in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep things clean, organized and secure. I bring a grounded, mindful presence to pet care. I practice yoga and truly enjoy creating a peaceful environment for both people and animals. I am active and enjoy getting outside so your pets will get the exercise and attention they need, balanced with companionship while you are away.
