Dog Walking Kings Grant

About: Hi!👋🏼 I'm Jenna! Animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Rescue animals will always have a special place in my heart, but at the end of the day, I truly love all animals and treat every pet like family! When I moved away to college, I was alone for only 2 months, and realized I couldn't imagine life without a furry companion and that’s where Carrot came into my life and made me a FurMom! During college, I also fostered dogs and cats, helping them prepare for their forever homes. My older sister previously worked at both an Animal Hospital and PetSmart, and she's taught me so much about pet care, behavior, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I know every pet is unique, and I'll care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give Carrot. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with the same love and care I give my own. ** IMPORTANT * I will ask for your document verification of ALL UP TO DATE VACCINES and they MUST be on a flea, tick, and heart-worm preventive ** Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed). I also respect your home and your pet's unique preferences, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

“Briana has been amazing! Our boys have become so comfortable with her and look forward to her visits. She loves our boys just like we do , which is HUGE. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a current stay-at-home mom to a beautiful baby girl! I want to treat every interaction with your pet as if I am caring for my own. I have experience caring for all kinds of breeds, and love learning their unique personality. Whether it’s a fun walk, a quick potty break, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I also love sending photos and updates so you don't have to wonder how your fur baby is doing! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I am currently a stay-at-home mom who goes on walks all the time with my baby, so I thought- why not have a dog join us! The more the merrier! Since I stay at home, this gig gives me the ability to not only be flexible for me, but flexible for YOU! My baby and I also love new environments that accommodate our lifestyle, so drop-ins are perfect! I make sure to love on and play with your pets, not just go through the motions of: fed, bathroom break, repeat. I want all to feel truly like they are being visited and attended to, not a chore to be done. Along with this, I understand all pets are different in what they need; Some need a ball thrown or some just want to be pet. Either way, my job is personalized care to make sure your baby is happy and cared for.

“She did amazing my pup is still very new to people so she was super shy and she loved her ! Would definitely recommend her ?”

About: Hi, I’m Autumn! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Friends and family have always used me as their go to person that they trust with their animals. I also have a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different personalities. I know every pet has their own personality and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I work full time from 7am to 3pm, so I’m regularly available in the late afternoons, evenings, and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. With a little advance notice I can often be flexible outside of those hours as well. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable as possible for the both of you. When you trust me with your pet you can expect lots of photo updates and someone who will truly love and care for them as if they were my own. I also understand the importance of treating every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for mine.

About: I grew up with dogs (a cockapoo and morkie) and have always enjoyed caring for friends’ and family members’ pets. On Rover, I’ve had the chance to care for all kinds of dogs and cats through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I enjoy getting to know your pet’s personality and learning what makes them happy and comfortable. My goal is to make your time away as easy as possible for you and your pet by keeping their normal routine, giving them the attention they’re used to, and taking good care of their space. I also want you to feel comfortable while you’re away, whether that means sending lots of updates and photos or simply letting you know everything is going well. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and follow their normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. I follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine to help keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep things neat and leave your space as I found it.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 14. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I also volunteer with animals and have dog sat for several friends over the years. I love cats but have not babysat any, only loved them at others homes. I currently work full time but mostly from home. Some days I am out in the world but usually for no more than 6 hours at a time. Majority of work hours are Monday - Friday 8-5 Pets have free range at home unless they need to be crated. Have a fenced in backyard and can also walk dogs if preferred. Large neighborhood to walk them around. Also have a responsible teenage daughter who can help with feedings and bathroom breaks. Trash can is in the pantry for little to no access.

“Bailey looked forward to her walks. Casey always kept in touch with me.”

About: I’ve always been passionate about dog care, having grown up with golden retrievers and cocker spaniels. As the family’s “dog whisperer,” I could connect with and calm any pup. When I moved to San Francisco, I began pet sitting professionally through Rover, offering boarding, daycare, and dog walking services. I often worked with up to three dogs at a time, ensuring each received the right care. Four years ago, I adopted Phoebe, my constant companion and inspiration for a structured, fun, and active routine. We recently moved to Virginia Beach, and I’m excited to return to providing dedicated, personalized pet care. My focus is on each dog’s unique needs. I provide separate feeding spaces to prevent food guarding and stress. I only accept friendly dogs to ensure a safe environment. I maintain a consistent routine with daily walks, beach outings, and playtime. My goal is to create a loving, secure space where every dog feels happy and at home. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine. Each morning, I start by feeding my pet and ensuring they have fresh water. Walks or playtime follow, giving them exercise and attention while helping me start the day actively. In the evenings, I dedicate time to grooming, cleaning up their space, and engaging in another round of play or a walk. Weekly, I focus on tasks like washing bedding, refreshing toys, and scheduling any necessary grooming or health check-ins. This consistent routine keeps my pet healthy, happy, and engaged while fitting naturally into my lifestyle. Safety, Trust, and Environment Ensuring the safety, comfort, and happiness of your dog is my top priority. I've designed my living space with that in mind, taking every precaution to create a safe and welcoming environment that your pet will love to call their temporary home. Space and Location I live in a spacious 1000 sq ft apartment with a fenced backyard, perfect for playtime and fresh air. We are conveniently located just two blocks away from Washington Square Park, a fantastic spot for daily walks and socializing with other dogs. Additionally, we regularly visit fenced dog parks to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog to run and play. Active Lifestyle As an active individual, I love incorporating dogs into my lifestyle. Whether it's a simple walk in the park or a hiking adventure, your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and exploration. My golden retriever, Phoebe, and 1-2 other pups often accompany me on these outings, making for a fun, social experience for your pet. Doggy Areas Inside my home, I have two enclosed "doggy areas", each equipped with a comfortable dog bed, food, and water bowl. These areas are separated by baby gates to ensure each dog has their own space and can feel safe and secure. Feeding Time I'm well aware that dogs can sometimes become protective over their food. To prevent any potential conflict, I always feed dogs separately in their designated areas. This method not only helps maintain harmony among our furry guests but also allows me to monitor your dog's eating habits closely, ensuring they are eating normally and maintaining a healthy diet. Pet-Friendly Home My home is a paradise for dogs! I believe in creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for all my furry guests. Dogs are welcome on the furniture here, so whether your pet loves curling up on the couch or sprawling out on a comfy chair, they will feel right at home. Of course, accidents can happen - especially when pets are in a new environment. But don't worry, I am fully equipped to handle such situations. I have all the necessary cleaning supplies on hand to promptly and efficiently deal with any messes, ensuring that the living space remains clean and comfortable for your pet. Transportation and Adventures For those dogs that love a change of scenery, I have a pet-friendly 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan parked in my building, complete with doggy seatbelts for safe and secure travel. If you're comfortable with it, I love taking the pups on hiking adventures in the surrounding area. I ensure that these trips are never more than an hour away, and they provide a fantastic opportunity for your dog to explore new environments and expend some energy! Rest assured, your pet's safety is always my number one concern during these fun outings. Philosophy on Training / Handling Problem Behavior While I take a lot of effort to avoid and problems - we all know that sometimes, shit happens. I don’t believe in any punitive or negative reactions to such behavior - it either exacerbates the anxiety/trigger that caused it, and doesn’t do much to teach them anything. I have separate spaces in my home for a reason to account for this, and will give your doggo plenty of love to put them at ease. I will promptly let any owner about problem behavior - what happened, what I believe caused it, and how I am currently remedying it. I’m very patient with dogs, and haven’t run into a situation I haven’t been able to remedy. If your dog is a rescue with social anxiety, I tend to form a lot of trust with these pups with this approach. With rescue dogs, I view things from the dog’s perspective - any view a lot of their trepidation / behavior as a direct result of what humans did (or didn’t) do for them. I approach these dogs with the utmost care and patience when forming a bond to let them know I’m someone I can trust, and that it’s on their terms. I have a special place in my heart for these pups, so if you have a rescue that’s shy, please don’t be shy in booking!

“Jahnia provided exceptional care for my dog Tyson while I was away for a week. She went above and beyond, playing with him, taking adorable pictures, ensuring he was well-fed and hydrated, and maintaining excellent communication throughout. Her sweet demeanor and dedication to Tyson's well-being were truly appreciated. Highly recommend her rover services!”

About: Mike's first job was caring for his neighbors' pets. Mike has had pets since he was 10, and travelled around the world with his dogs and cats during his military career and regional sales role. Roscoe, Higgins, and Freyja are living the dream in the Pacific Northwest with frequent road (work) trips and cross-country visits to the family in Indiana and Massachusetts. Let me know if we can help you with your fur babies. Mike works from home and is an early riser. While the coffee is brewing, all the animals are waking up with bathroom breaks and breakfast. Mike walks Roscoe after breakfast and dinner. Since Roscoe is a senior, we frequently split the two meals into snacks and shorter walks. When the cats are interested, they climb into the backpacks and go see the world with us. I pay attention to the animals' behavior and routines. Consistency in feeding and bathroom breaks has made my pets very comfortable with my work and social routines. I have the flexibility to meet your routines and maintain the consistency you expect with your family while away from home. I recognize when it's time to stop playing, reduce the mileage, or go to the vet.

“Ashley did a great job. She was on time twice a day for a whole week and walked Bruce at least one mile during each visit. Will definitely ask her to walk our pup again.”

“Whitney is fantastic! She offered to meet me and my puppy first before the first time she walked her. She is punctual and takes my girl on a nice long walk during the short time they are together. When I come home my girl is still snoozing in her crate. Thanks for taking good care of my Tilly girl!”
