Dog Walking Hocutts Crossroads

About: I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid through the American Health Training Association. Personalized Care, Special Needs Pet Care, and Experienced & Trustworthy I am retired and currently an Interfaith/Interspiritual Minister which provides me with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays, most weekends and holidays for you. My services at this time will take place in your home. I will require an initial greeting to make sure your animal is comfortable and has a chance to get to know me in their own environment. I have worked with animals that have had anxiety and was able to work with them to gain their trust.

“Sarah is SO SWEET and Kind. Great communication!”

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”

About: I’ve assisted my aunt during her Rover experience for two years, I’ve rescued and TNR’d neighborhood street cats for two years, and I have an 8 year old dog and a 2 year old dog back in New York! I recently moved to the area and am living with family, so my animals are not with me until I secure independent housing—they are with family that were still in my old area. I’m a full-time college student in graduate school and I work full-time, both of these commitments are virtual. This leaves me relatively free to prioritize the care your loved pets need! I currently am not offering to pet sit in my own home as I currently live with family, but when watching other peoples dogs I take the same precautions as I would with my own dogs as you can never guarantee their behavior and how they respond to situations or other people. I would ensure the environment is safe, and if we go out into the community, I would be aware of my surroundings and take every precaution as if they were my own!

About: My house can be a bit of a zoo, with 3 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 birds, and a tortoise, but it is much more peaceful than it sounds. All caged animals (rabbits, birds, and tortoise) are in their own room that dogs are not allowed in, so no need to worry about any unsavory interactions. That leave the rest of our home the dog zone. We have a large house so no one will feel cramped and a huge backyard for all the fun your pets seeks. I am comfortable with any breed (and any species of animal really) and will follow any instructions left for me to the letter. I am very attentive and will provide updates multiple times a day so you’ll never be left wondering how your baby is doing. I am currently working full time, however I work second shift, so I work 2-10pm. Occasionally I am able to leave work around 8 or 9 o clock as well. I could care for pets first thing in the morning, before I head to work, and after my shift. I you were comfortable with it as well, my husband could always check on your pet after he gets off work (around 5) My husband and I have a huge fully fenced backyard. Our neighborhood is pretty quiet and very walkable as well if you prefer your pet be taken for walks.

About: I’m currently a veterinarian assistant who has a Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd, Tortishell Kitty, and a cute little bearded dragon. I’m experienced with administering medications and basic grooming. I’m a firm believer that all fur and furless babies deserve love and respect and I treat them all like my very own. I am a full time Veterinarian Assistant during weekdays, but I can still swing by and say hi to the little babies. I can board or home visit anytime during the weekends! I have a fenced in yard and a sweet German Shepherd who LOVES playing with pups and is extremely gentle with kitties. I also have the ability to keep pups or cats that might not be too happy with another dog in a separate area. I enjoy recording most of my interactions with fur babies and sending the videos to you!

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and have been helping take care of animals my whole life, so being around animals has always been a big part of who I am. I know how much our fur babies mean to us—they’re family! I love getting to know each pet’s personality and figuring out what makes them feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful, energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand how important it is to be patient, stay calm, respect their boundaries, and pay attention to their body language. I also have experience as a Veterinary Assistant at an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals and handling different situations. I’m comfortable giving medications and injections when needed and when provided with instructions. Most importantly, I know that every pet is different. Some want to run around and play, some want all the cuddles they can get, and others are happiest doing their own thing with someone nearby. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and give them the kind of care and attention that works best for them. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is being well loved and looked after while you’re away. I’m currently in a transition period, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have open availability throughout the day and into the evening, including weekends, and can be flexible to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a consistent routine, and make sure your pet is secure and comfortable in their environment. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns, and I’ll keep your home clean and tidy during visits or stays. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.

About: I sometimes feel like a dog/cat whisper. I have a very calm nature and I think dogs/cats can really pick up on this. I have had animals of my own but could no longer afford the monetary funds it takes to care for dogs and cats. I am a retired active senior citizen and I have a lot of spare time I would love to devote to dog/cat boarding or walking. When I do care for dogs/cats in my home, I try to make sure they feel I care for them and snuggle and hold them, if I am allowed by the animal. I always wait to see if they have sniffed me and that lets me know they are or are not accepting of me.

“Nicole is great! She is very communicative, reliable, and accommodating. I know my dogs are in good hands! I will book with her again in the future!”

About: Growing up I always wanted a pet for my own and I finally got my first puppy at 10 yrs old. I really think that helped me be responsible. And have so much love for pets I take of my pets like if they were my children. Whenever I have free time I like to help others with there pets. I don’t have a job right now so I can work any hours of the week. Full time would be much better, and preferred I have a flexible schedule. I try to build trust with people pets if they seem uncomfortable I try my best to get them out of their shell but I won’t force them to do anything they don’t want to

About: I’ve always loved cats and have experience caring for Felix and Orion, Matt’s dad’s cats, as well as our own two cats, Miles and Enzo. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, treats, and plenty of cuddles. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’m happy to let them set the pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As of right now I don’t have an office job so I could go by every day multiple times a day. And I could do house sitting over night almost any day. I treat both with the up most I respect and love. I try and treat people’s pets like family and their homes like I would my own.

“Thank you so much for all you did! ❤️ I'm glad he was a good boy. Feel free to help work with him on no jumping. He does know sit and stay for when you leave too! I hope he didn't scratch you up or make bruises, he didn't mean to if he did.”

About: I am a reliable sitter with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to have someone they can trust, and I strive to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have plenty of time to care for and assist your fur babies! Avaliable most days before 11 and after 7, completely free on weekends. I have an adequate sized yard for fun time, however it is not fenced in. Two medium sized cages if needed. Aswell as a pup of my own the assist in keeping everyone company.

About: As a registered nurse, providing compassionate, attentive care comes naturally to me. I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and understand the importance of following routines and paying close attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace with extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I'll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and treat your pet like they're part of my own family. I'm comfortable administering oral medications if needed and am happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. While I'm continuing to grow my experience with Rover, I'm committed to earning your trust by providing reliable, loving care and giving your pet the same attention and respect I'd want someone to give my dog. I’m currently on a summer break. I’m able to care for your pet 7 days a week. I will adhere to your pets schedule and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special requests. In your home, I'll respect your space just as I would my own while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for pets in my home, they'll be welcomed into a clean, safe, and calm environment where they'll receive lots of love, supervision, playtime, and opportunities to rest. I'll stick to their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel at home and comfortable throughout their stay. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own.

I understand all of the responsibilities when it comes to caring for dogs. They deserve all the love and attention and I intend to do that when in my care. . =) My place has a good amount of room, a fenced in dog park and trails where I would enjoy going for a walk or run.

About: I have grown up with at least 3 giant dogs at a time since birth and of course over time took charge of providing any needed care and training for new furry family members. I began pet sitting in my early teens as a way to gain more knowledge on different breeds with a hands on approach. I believe every dog is full of nothing but love and eagerness to please their special human; I have not met a dog yet that doesn't live up to that thought! I have a strong urge to love and cuddle every animal I meet and so I have also yet to meet and animal that doesn't enjoy my company or laid back attitude. My Family currently has 3 big dogs and 3 cats and I am a God Mother to an adorable Goat (Please ask to see my God Kid lol)!! Specialize in large and giant size dog breeds for over 20 years but have recently worked with smaller dogs as well. I have pet sat sizes ranging from Mastiffs, Great Danes, German Shephards, honestly a varity of Shehards and Collies, Small Poodles and Louisiana Catahoula Leopards Dogs (and some cats). I have worked with pure breeds and mixed breeds. Ready to provide walking, basic grooming, feeding, play time and exercise or other services as agreed upon. I would love to give your furry friends some love and cuddles while you are traveling or having a night out with family and friends. I work a 9-5 Monday thru Friday with flexibility and some WFH time. I make sure pets get enough love and attention like they would if you were home with them. We currently have a newer doggo so I'm not boarding ATM. I treat your home and pets like you would and mostly chill with the pets or take them for needed walks.
