Dog Walking Harvest

“Melissa was so great with walking our high energy dog. She had really great communication with us to coordinate the walks. Also our dog Jedi loved her so much.”

About: One thing that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a reactive dog of my own. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, body language awareness, and calm handling are when working with dogs who may be anxious, overstimulated, fearful, or slow to trust new people. Because of that, I’m very mindful of creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, managing different energy levels, and recognizing behavioral cues before situations become stressful. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets who need extra patience or structure. I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so I provide reliable updates, photos, and detailed check-ins for peace of mind while you’re away. Because I run my own special education advocacy business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. My work gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and many holiday needs. I’m able to plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than rushed drop-ins. Flexibility also means I can better adapt to pets with specific routines, medication schedules, anxiety needs, or extra potty breaks. I care for pets by focusing on keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I understand that many pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I try to maintain the routines they’re used to while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels so I can adapt care appropriately, whether a pet needs active play, mental stimulation, quiet companionship, or extra patience. My experience owning a reactive dog has made me especially mindful about creating calm interactions and respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries.

“We are so grateful for Katie loving on and walking our dogs! She’s wonderful and caring, and timely. She loves our dogs like her own. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to board, walk, or have her babysit your furbabies!”

About: I love taking care of animals. I have been dog sitting for a long time, I have a customer that she trusts me enough to come and dog sit when their are puppies around 3 weeks old. I am passionate about taking care of our 4 legged friends. I am currently looking for a job so as of right now I’m free everyday so far. I am pretty flexible when it comes to dog sitting. I respect people wishes, I try to give their pets the best service and love as I can. I make sure they are fed and have plenty of water, I also make sure they aren’t home alone for to long.

“Amy is almost always available and flexible with me even if I book her services last minute. I work 12 hour shifts and sometimes they're overnight shifts so it's nice to have someone to check on my dog and get her out of the house for a bit. My dog just adores her and I sure do appreciate her! ”

About: I joined Rover full-time in 2023. Prior to Rover I had been pet sitting for friends and family occasionally for at least 5 years. I absolutely love taking care of all kinds of animals. Cats, dogs, bearded dragons, bunnies, frogs, anything really. I have experience taking care of senior and disabled cats and dogs. I have also taken care of many dogs that are considered reactive. I don’t have experience with very young puppies but I have taken care of a few older puppies. Since this is my full-time job, I am willing to accept requests whenever I’m available. I do require meet and greets prior to accepting new clients. For all services, I will be sure to follow whatever instructions are provided to me. I do ask that you please give me clear instructions so I can work to the best of my ability. For dog walks, please provide me with a map of the route you usually take.

About: We have raised and take care of all three of our dogs! We also pet sit my sister’s Golden Retriever sometimes! This includes feeding, walking, playing, exercising, bathing, etc. We have crate and potty trained all three of our personal pets. Our dogs sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Any dog we keep is treated like our own! My husband and I both work full time jobs, but my husband Brandon is a school teacher so he is home all summer. Your dogs are rarely ever crated… only if we have an errand to run. Our typical weekend is spent at the dog park, in the drive thru at Dunkin’ for pup cups, and lounging on the couch! My husband is home during the summer, and we have a fenced in backyard, so the dogs are let out to play and potty multiple times during the day. We feed our dogs twice a day- once in the morning & once at night, but let us know if you have a different schedule and we will keep your dog on it! We have three dogs of our own that sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Blu is three and loves to play with new friends! Ellie is four and would prefer to lay on her bed and chew her bone! Any dog we keep is treated like our own!

About: I’m caring, reliable and honest. I enjoy pets, exercise and am looking to get a small dog of my own. I’ve owned poodles in the past. I work very part time doing DoorDash. I’m flexible as the when I can come and take care of your pet. I cook a lot and pet sitting fits well into my schedule. I read instructions the owners gave. I’ll follow them. I’ll respect your home, m take good care of your pet and follow any rules.

About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.

About: I have four dogs and three cats of my own. One is a senior dog who is blind a deaf so I understand certain care a lot of dogs may need. I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs, big and small. As well as many different pets like snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I’ve grown up with different kinds of pets my whole life but mainly dogs and cats. Having four dogs of my own and three cats, it can be quite a hassle but overtime I’ve gotten used to routines and the specific care each animal needs! In my own home, my dogs are crated when I leave except for my senior dog. My dogs and cats have specific routines for their food, so special requests and even giving pets their needed medications if they have them is very familiar for me. With this many animals I understand the importance of routine and how to look after each one. I’ve always treated other people’s animals as I treat my own with love and care. I also love going on walks so I don’t mind dog walking at all! As for cats, I have three litter boxes in my home so I don’t mind cleaning those either.

About: I have been a Pet Sitter, for cats and dogs, and I have walked dogs for my family and friends for years now. Pet Care has become a passion of mine! I have no problem keeping up with high-need or active animals. I am good at keeping animals calm and non-destructive by keeping them entertained and making sure they get their proper exercise. I have helped train 2 dogs recently. I am also good with older pets who may need a bit extra help. I am a part time worker so I have lots! Of time to play around with your pets! I am available most weekdays for casual things while I am available weekends for boarding! I have a big fenced in backyard that your pet can run around in! I have a older male Sheepadoodle that can keep your pet company. And you will always have the choice to ask for them to be kept separate. I will clean your pet’s paws with baby wipes after they come in from outside so that they return to you squeaky clean! I am located in a house so space is not an issue for your pet, and I can provide toys!

“Gregoria was a blessing during our trip. She took both my babies on walks and feed and gave them water while we were out of town for the weekend. Thanks so much Gregoria!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Indoor or outdoor, I know each animal has a different personality, and I am very patient and understanding when it comes to pets. I’m definitely an animal lover and would love to take care of your pet and provide a positive and enriching experience. Please consider me! ❤️ My primary job is Airbnb management, which is done from mostly my phone, so I have plenty of room to operate off of your time/schedule. I have a fenced in back yard (great for dogs) and a screened in sunroom (cats love it) and am very respectful when it comes to other peoples property.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love taking care of them. I’m able to go for long walks or just snuggle on the couch, whatever your dog needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 kids so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I’ll be home with your pets the majority of the day when they stay with us. I don’t currently have a fenced in yard so the dogs will have to be leash trained when they stay at my house. We’ll go for long walks around the neighborhood.

“Carson has been great with my dog! He’s great about communicating with me and is great playing with him! He always wears him out by the end of the walk haha”

“Audrey confirmed a booking at such short notice and I appreciate her for that. She was very communicative and handled my pup with so much care! It was cold and wet outside , yet she made sure he did the business he wanted to do.”

“Kaitlyn was great and super quick to respond! She came over on very short notice after a cancellation to play with my puppy for a little while.”

About: I grew up with cats and have been a cat owner in the past, so I miss having that daily pet companionship. Since I'm a bit too busy to own a pet right now, I’m looking for a rewarding part-time gig to fill that void by caring for yours! I have a lot of love for both cats and dogs. I’ve dog sat for friends many times, so I feel completely confident handling walks, feeding schedules, and playtime for pups. I’m an organized, observant sitter who sticks to your exact instructions to keep your pet feeling safe and comfortable. I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am looking to care for animals in conjunction to my current job. I am available for visits and walks Friday-Sunday. Caring for pets on my off days will be fulfilling and an enjoyable way to spend my free time. As far as caring for animals I can follow the instructions given. Whether it is crating a dog, letting them roam, or enclosing them in a room.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from the craziest and goofiest to the more relaxed and calm! Experience in pets with special needs, senior pets, and “aggressive” breeds. I truly enjoy spending my time with animals and I would love to be there for them! I work full-time remotely so I’m not away all day. My schedule is flexible and being there for your pets will always be my top priority. I can walk, run, and play with your pet! All animals get lots of love! I can follow strict instructions for pet care including household rules.

“Alison is soo loving, sweet and compassionate with my Lotus. I appreciate how patient, gentle and reliable she is. She communicates super well and tell me how their entire walks go. She makes me feel at ease knowing that he's in good care with her. She took the time to learn him to ensure their walks go well and that is a plus being that my baby has quite a few rules lol. Im so happy to have come across her.”
