Dog Walking In Hembstead

About: I have personal experience with cats but have watched several family members/friends dogs when needed. My children pet sat and I would accompany them. I love to learn about what makes them unique and I truly love to walk them. I work part-time from home so I have a lot of flexibility. Heavier schedule the 2nd-15th of the month. My children are grown and live out of time, so I have a lot more extra time. Since we have an older cat living with us, I would need to dog/cat sit at the clients house. In an emergency, I could see what I could do.

About: I adore animals, and always want you to trust that your precious dog or cat is comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’ve been a pet owner most of my life. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, and fish, and have pet-sat dogs and cats since childhood. I care for several friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, both young and elderly, both in and out of my home. I have experience caring for a friend’s older rescue pup, working her way through trauma and trust issues, who has slowly warmed up to me. My family of five humans currently have a beloved dog, Sunny, and sweet little hamster, Poppy. My children are in school full time, so I have a lot of free time for drop-ins, walks, daycare, and boarding. I enjoy time in my house and yard, playing with my dog, as well as taking walks, so dogs are the perfect companions! I have a fenced-in yard, and let my dog outside throughout the day and evening (although she prefers being inside!). I also have gates that can be used to limit access to certain rooms or stairs as needed. I will use a crate if requested by a client, or if one if necessary for a visiting dog’s safety, anxiety, or comfort when I’m not present. I typically only board or provide daycare for up to two dogs at a time. On occasion I may have an overlap of a dog from a new family along with one of my regulars, but will always inform both owners ahead of the stay. Safety and comfort are my primary focuses. * I am insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), in addition to the Rover Guarantee, for extra peace of mind. *

About: Hi! I am a student and football player at Furman University. I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and comfort. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently home for the month of May from college. I love being active and working out is a huge part of my daily life. Throughout the month I will sporadically be doing some shadowing in the Wealth Management space. My schedule is basically wide open and I plan to fill a lot of that time by caring for pets. I’m happy to walk your dog for as long as needed, and I also enjoy doing drop-in visits. I take pride in making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

“This was our first experience with Rover and I don’t think it could have been better. April is great! She came as scheduled, took our Maggie for a nice, long walk, sent me a report card with photo and left a happy dog for me to come home to. April will be our “go to” sitter and walker from now on!”

“Jessica is an AMAZING sitter. I’ve never left my pets home alone like this before and was extremely nervous about it. My dog has separation anxiety, my cat has diabetes, they steal each other’s food, etc. so finding a sitter gets complicated. Jessica did everything I needed for my babies, and even was able to give my shy kitty his insulin. Everything here went perfectly when I was away and I am so relieved. I really can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have several years of experience taking care of senior dogs and young puppies. I have also taken care of a variety of different breeds of all sizes. This experience gives me a deep understanding of canine behaviors and needs. I also enjoy meeting each cat’s individual needs whether it’s basic or petting and playing with them. Each one of them is different. I provide morning, afternoon, and evening visits/ walks/ sniff-ari’s daily. Twice a day feedings with gourmet garnishes for increased health and fun. I provide daily enrichment activities for my dog like the snuffle mat, kong, word mat, car rides and lots of cuddles. I maintain each individual dog’s routine - even if it’s a kiss on the head to let them know it’s ok to eat. I do accept pets outside of my service radius and may charge an extra $5 per visit. Trust and safety are extremely important to me. A consistent schedule and calm and familiar environment are essential. Each pet is different and needs must be adapted accordingly.

“Dorothy is the best! I moved recently and needed someone right away for my fur baby. I appreciate how she communicates during her time with my dog. Dorothy is reliable and loves my chocolate Labrador Retriever. He loves her as well!”

About: I have had dogs and cats as part of my family ever since I was a young. I gravitated towards being the one who was responsible for feeding, bathing, grooming and exercising them. As I grew older I became responsible for maintaining their vet visits as well. I understand the responsibility it takes to care for a pet. We as humans can fend for ourselves whereas our furry loved ones rely on us for everything. I have owned a variety of sized dogs and have a tender heart for animals. I work 12 hour shifts at a hospital and have days off in the week. My off days alternate. One week I am off Wednesday and Thursday. The following week I am off Monday, Tuesday, Friday I have the basic necessity tools such as combs and leashes to groom and walk my dog. I also have a dependable car for transportation.

“Enegul has been great with our pup! She is prompt, has good communication, and takes care of Daisy on walks. Daisy has come home exhausted and happy each time! Thank you for taking care of our girl!”

“Nataly came in at the last minute to walk Link when I had to go out of town and I’m so grateful. She did a great job and took great care with Link to make him feel comfortable. Always a pleasure!”

About: Over the years I’ve cared for dogs in one way or another such as pet sitting, check-in’s and in home day care. When caring for the dogs they have my full attention for play and exercise. I am currently dog walking and checking in part time during the day. If needed I am available on Saturday or Sunday with advance notice. I currently have two Boston Terriers between the age of 3 and 6. They are my furbabies. I’ve not met a dog I haven’t loved. I’ll bring that same attention while checking or walking yours.

About: I have loved on my own two pups (a GSP and a cavalier) and my domestic shorthair kitty in addition to fostering two shelter sweethearts long term. I have learned patience, precision, and a deep love for animals that I hope to share with Charlotte and make your time away from your fur baby a little bit easier. I am also a runner and will take your dog for a run if you’d like! I’m very flexible, just graduated college and hanging out for the summer before grad school. Can be as early or late as you’d like, I work around you! I love playing with dogs and cats alike, and I am comfortable with providing any food (wet or dry), cuddling, crating, bathroom breaks, changing and cleaning litter, and whatever else your pet may require.

“All the stars for Liam! All the positive adjectives for Liam. Reliable, kind, loving, caring, and communication was top-notch. Our dog gave Liam 10/10 barks! We’ll be hiring Liam happily again.”
