“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed. Our pup is known to have some undesirable behavior on walks, and Emily came a few days early to meet her, learn her nuances and took notes so she was prepared to manage it. Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

About: Hi, I’m Amanda, and caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me it’s my passion. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in dog walking, grooming, and pet care, I’ve dedicated my life to making sure every pup I meet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I offer dog walking, grooming, day care out of my home and drop-in check-ins, tailored to fit your dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special care needs. I’m also experienced in administering medication and handling anxious or reactive dogs with patience and compassion. Whether it’s a quick walk, a fresh groom, or just some love and attention while you’re away, your dog will be treated like family with me. I truly love dogs with my whole heart, and it shows in everything I do.💕🐶🐾 I am currently doing dog grooming from out of my house so I am free really any time of the day during the week and same going with the weekend i update my calendar every week so it is always up to date ! My house is away from the road and not near a main road at all we have a fenced in backyard. I have 2 dogs of my own that will be separated from all dogs at all times and a whole back room int the house with big comfy dog crates if they were needed to be crated. If i were to come to your home and take care of pets I will always supervise and keep your pup company with toys provided!

I worked at a kennel and doggie daycare in the past. I will always treat your pet as if they were mine! I am an early riser, I go to the gym and run before work. If you have a high energy dog, I am a good fit for you. I will make sure your pup is tired by the end of our visit. I will make sure your pet is safe by making sure there are no hazards and if we go for a walk I will keep your pet on a leash and protected against any threat. I have had many dogs off leash run up to myself and a clients dog and I always put myself in-between my clients dog and the others.

I do everything I can to give my dogs the best life I can and am passionate about doing so for all of our furry friends! If I could adopt more dogs I would but my husband would divorce me! I’m therefore hoping Rover will help me make a difference for more dogs in the world while reassuring their human companions that they are in good hands! My current work schedule will allow me to have about 3.5 full days off of work every day which will allow me to spend some quality time with your fur baby and giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s going on a walk or just giving some snuggles! I will make your pet’s safety my highest priority, followed by their happiness as a close second! I will communicate openly with you and do my very best to provide the best possible care for your special friend!
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
“Taylor is awesome! She was very patient with Luna and communicated so well throughout the entire visit. Even though the walk didn’t work out because Luna was super nervous, Taylor still made sure to keep me updated and sent lots of photos. Her energy is so kind, and you can tell she’s great with all types of dogs. I really appreciate her taking the time to work with Luna and even attempting to stay past the scheduled time to help her feel more comfortable. Thank you, Taylor! ❤️”

About: We're a happy family looking to make your furry friend a member when they're here! Growing up with cats and dogs established my love of animals. My childhood dog made it to 17, and taught me a lot about handling senior animals. My wife and I currently have a 3 year old Shiba named Mikki. Shibas are notoriously intelligent and stubborn, which means we have needed to do our research. We believe this definitely helps us handle stubborn dogs, as well as finding fun methods to keep them engaged. We have been taking the utmost care with cleaning and sanitation of all surfaces, and require masks for all meets, pickups+drop offs. We also use dog safe wipes for paws and any other areas that need tending after walks. We have 7 day availability, and flexible hours for your needs. As this is our full-time job, we focus solely on our guests! They get walks 4x a day, with pee breaks in between. We are less than 5 minutes from the Quarry St dog park in Quincy, and frequently bring pups for meets/ playtime. If your dog requires any special attention, please let us know. With a large open living space, dogs gets the freedom to run around and play. They are only crated for timeouts or bedtime if that's how they generally sleep. Everyone is separated for drinking and feeding time. We follow your schedule as much as possible so they can adjust as easily as possible. Dogs have free roam of the house, and are let out to play and do business every 1-2 hours for as long as they want in our backyard. Our yard is fully fenced in, with a lot of open space and toys for everyone to play. We are always keeping an eye on them, and they are never left alone outside.
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and finally got one of my very own this past year! I’ve had lots of experience with dogs, cats, and other small animals too! I love playing with my puppy and taking him out to explore new places! I work part time so I have availability for my own puppy. And of course I have plenty of time to play with yours! I’m usually available daily after 9:00 am, and before 4:00pm! I’m very familiar with crate training for dogs, and basic manners/obedience as well and long walks full of engagement! And lots of playtime & treats. I also have cats, and love to snuggle and play with them as well!
About: I have a pug named chunk he is my other son. I would love to have a dog to watch so he has a friend to play with & be around. He's friendly & loves to cuddle. He also loves to run around but gets out of breath quick. I live in an apartment with a dog park and also a fenced in outdoor patio area and a big yard to walk around. I have dog beds, and crate if your dog uses them. My 11 & 9 year old sons love dogs & would spend the whole day playing with them. I’m currently home most of the time I’m babysitting about eight hours a week in the middle of the day so I have plenty of time to be with your dog.
