Dog Walking Grants Pass

About: I may be new to the Rover community, but I am not new to pet care! I have my own baby who I care for, along with experience caring for family and friends dogs, elderly and puppies alike! When my family takes on the task of caring for others pets, I am the one entrusted to handle those responsibilities. I love pets of all kinds and even have experience changing pet diapers! I believe that every pet has their own personality and therefore their own special care needs, and I intend to provide that care specifically for each animal I am entrusted with. I am a college student looking for a side hustle or even part time job out of this! Im hoping to use whatever money I make to pay for either travel during breaks or my college itself. I love animals and spending time with them so this job is honestly a dream for me. I would prefer this to be my only job so that I am able to put my full heart into it! If this is my only responsibility then it will truly be my only focus, allowing me to be open for anything! I intend to follow exactly the instructions I am given for each and every animal, because I understand that all animals are different. I understand if you have a certain ritual before dinner time or if your baby's bed needs to be prepped a certain way for them to sleep good. Your pet deserves to have the same routine no matter who they are in the hands of.

“Yvonne has been doing a great job walking our baby girl. She’s prompt, loves animals and communicates within minutes with pics and updates. She’s a lifesaver several days a week while we are at work. Recommend highly.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. Whether it was my own while my parents were gone or friends and neighbors as I got older. I have cared for both really active dogs that need to run all the time and older slower pets that need a lot of attention to details. I am currently a student at Western Oregon University enjoying my summer break back home. So I am available any time as I can create my own schedule. I can’t keep pets here but I am willing and able to do anything needed whether it is crating or making sure they are properly leashed if need be. I can also just watch as they run around!

“Amy has been so incredibly helpful for me while I've been at work. She is very attentive to what I'd like for my dog and takes great care of her. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a detailed and responsible animal caregiver.”

About: Having a dog all of my life while growing up, I really enjoy their companionship. Taking them out for walks at least twice a day for 30 minutes or more is what they need. I'm familiar with senior dogs as well. As my dog aged, I administered medications as needed so, I'm okay with administering meds. Senior dogs sometimes need a little more care and more frequent pee breaks that I'm used to. Being a retiree and empty nester, I have a flexible schedule and lots of time on my hands. This will give me the opportunity to really do what makes my heart sing! Currently, I have a cat that I rescued. I trapped, neutered and spayed him and his 3 siblings and mother. I domesticated them and found them homes. I keep my cat indoors now to keep him safe. He has plenty of toys, playtime with mom, treats and sunny windows to sit in to watch the neighbors! He is king & knows it! I love sitting and giving undivided attention to my animals and animals in my care.

About: I've had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Growing up in a miniature menagerie taught me responsibility and how to properly care for animals and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Reading animal behavior and connecting with each pet's personality is second nature to me. Whether it's maintaining your pet's familiar routine, providing engaging playtime, or offering companionship, I prioritize making your pets feel secure and loved in your absence. I structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given attention. Each day, I set aside time for feeding, cleaning up after them, and making sure they have companionship. Weekly, I restock supplies and adjust my schedule as needed to meet their needs. I prioritize each pet’s comfort and personality, letting them set the pace for interactions. When entering a space, I allow the pet to approach me first and get down to their eye level to establish trust. I respect a cat’s independence and let them engage on their terms. When walking dogs, I exercise patience, allowing them to sniff and explore at their own pace, as I’ve learned this helps build trust and confidence. My approach ensures that every pet feels safe, respected, and cared for.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for the past 30 plus years. I’ve walked them, bathed them, made their food, cared for them when sick and loved them. I have a lovely, safe walking neighborhood for dogs, a fenced yard, and everything I would need for a dog to have a cozy stay with me. I currently work 100% remote and have time during the day for walks and playtime. I have dog beds for nap time and toys for them to play with. I also own several leashes. I have a fenced yard that’s very safe. I don’t plan on watching more than one dog at a time. That way I can devote all my time to the one who’s staying with me.

About: I was born into a house with 9 dogs. My mother has devoted her life to animal rescue and I have been helping and volunteering since I was 6. I absolutely adore animals and would love to look after yours! I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters at different places I’ve lived in the past and I have helped many different personalities of dogs and cats. I currently am working part-time, so I have a lot of time to spend with the babies! My schedule is flexible, so I should be able to accommodate any times or days you would need! I have been around animals my whole life and am good at being intuitive with their needs. If they are snuggle bugs, I’ll snuggle up with them! If they need play or to be left alone, I’ll act accordingly.

About: I have done pet sitting for over 5 years which include boarding, housesitting and dog walking. I have also cared for cats, chickens, exotic birds and baby goats (bottle fed). I have cared for elderly pets, seizure pets and have no problem with giving medications. ****If you are requesting housesitting, I do have a small easy-going chill dog that likes to come with me if you are ok with that. He gets along with all dogs and cats alike. I do request that we have a meet and greet prior so as to ensure you are comfortable with me in your home and with your pets. I work remotely during the day. So I would be with your pet(s) for the majority of the day. They would only be left alone a few hours on occasion for errands/appointments and such. So they would get plenty of potty breaks, love and attention while you are away. I will care for you pet(s) per your instructions. While at my house they will be allowed on furniture and my bed for extra cuddle time. They will be given plenty of walks and playtime!
