Dog Walking Longfellow

About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.

“Maria was great with our dog! Day 1 was a bit of a struggle, between rain and a new person, but he really warmed to her on day 2!”

“Andy is such a great dog walker. He really does well with our two German shepherds. They are a lot to handle and he does it all with ease. Thank you!”

“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”

“Roxana has been great with Maebee! She’s very professional and knows how to handle an individual dog’s needs. She asks the right questions and listens and addresses our concerns about Maebee”

About: I’m a full time artist and WFH sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages including Puppies, seniors, special needs pets, and sensitive personalities. I live a calm and quiet lifestyle with my senior corgi, Mochi, and my sweet, dog friendly cat, Mumu. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will get steady attention, a peaceful environment, and care that never feels rushed. My dog Mochi is 10 and has had many health issues, including back leg mobility problems. Caring for her has given me strong experience with senior dogs, medication schedules, mobility support, slow routines, anxious pets and even stroller walks. I grew up with many pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve experienced a negligent sitter in the past whose carelessness sent my dog to the hospital. Because of that I take this work extremely seriously. I’m attentive, detail oriented, cautious and I never take shortcuts especially with older or delicate pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Because I’m an artist I’ll sometimes doodle a small portrait of your pet if time allows, just a little gift for you. A little about why I joined Rover: I recently moved into a larger space which has allowed me to comfortably host more pets. I also decided to start pet sitting as a way to help offset the rising costs of my senior dog’s insurance. It’s important to me that I can continue providing the best care for her and Rover lets me do that while offering attentive, reliable care to other pets as well. I WFH so I’m home most of the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine I already have a senior dog with daily feeding, meds so I’m used to gentle and structured care throughout the day. I take breaks to give pets attention, walks, playtime and lots of calm company. Your pet would be part of my daily rhythm not an afterthought I maintain a calm and supervised home where safety comes first. Pets get slow introductions and secure spaces and constant oversight since I work from home. My corgi is crate-trained and my cat has high-ground access so everyone has their own safe zones. I follow your schedule exactly : feeding, walks, meds, and activities so your pet stays on their normal routine. They’ll have a safe comfortable place to play or nap all day and can sleep with me at night if they'd like to. Diet & Feeding I follow your pet’s exact feeding schedule and portion sizes to keep everything consistent. I always make sure pets stay hydrated, especially in warmer weather. I feed my dog and guest dogs separately to avoid any food guarding or stress during mealtimes. Hygiene & Cleanliness I keep pets clean and comfortable throughout the day : wiping paws if needed, cleaning eye discharge and keeping their space tidy. I’m very detailoriented about maintaining a clean safe environment. Walk Safety All dogs are leashed outdoors at all times. I stay alert around other dogs separate pets immediately if there are signs of stress or tension and prevent ground eating or unsafe sniffing areas. I’m always attentive and I clean up after them every time. Sleeping Arrangements My own dog prefers her own bed and doesn’t sleep with me but your dog is welcome to sleep wherever they feel comfortable whether that’s in their own bed, the crate or in the bed with me for extra comfort. I make sure every pet has a safe cozy sleeping setup.

About: I’ve always loved caring for pets and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I've been a life-long dog lover and I currently have a cat of my own that fits my current lifestyle. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible, making sure each pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and even gentle training reinforcement if needed. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I'm currently working a remote job and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available for house check-ins or walks at basically any time of day, every day of the week. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, providing feeding, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, and any medications as needed. I treat each home with respect, keeping it clean and organized, while making sure pets feel safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.

About: Ive lived with dogs for 20 years and know well their needs and how they act. I dogsit and walk dogs and cats from family and friends. Currently ive gotten interested in pursuing working with animals, so im very motivated to learn to handle and care for animals the best way possible. I have a dog like energy and like to play with the dogs too. I feel like a dog. And I want to meet more, they are all very unique and interesting. I do my best to give animals the care and love they deserve. Im a full time student, and part time worker. The times i would be able to walk and care for your pets are: Tuesday after 12, Wednesday morning before 1, and all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When taking care of dogs, i will be home most of the time and take them on walks suiting their energy levels. I have a good sized fenced backyard and front yard for dogs to roam in. When not walking, i will let them do their own thing, giving them frequent attention and many pets. Cats, on the other hand, i will be more careful with regarding closeness. I will slowly let them get used to me when meeting them. When they know me, i will also give them frequent attention and lots of pets.

“Jen is super communicative whether it’s regarding coordinating logistics or sharing updates about our dog, Bento. It really just helps put our minds at ease especially when we’re traveling. Highly recommend!”

“Mary did an amazing job. I have a pet cam and saw how happy they were to see her. They rarely get off the couch for me. She sent photos every walk and they looked great.”

About: Hi! Some of my best memories with pets come from taking care of my friends’ pomeranian puppy during his first few years of life. I got to understand his playing, eating, and walking habits, and my friends could always rely on me to ensure he was cared for. I hope I can do the same your pets as well! My availability is open! Most of my work is remote so I’m able to take in almost any request. Depending on the energy of your fur baby they can work alongside with me if they like:) I live with two other people — one works in the morning and one works at night, and they love when pets are in the house. I have a fenced yard as well as an open living room for a playpen and/or crate! I also have a car harness available for larger pets if transportation is needed.

“Was delighted to partner with Kirsten on my puppy’s first dog sitting experience!! Kirsten showed up on time so I could attend a work event stress free and was a great communicator! She played with her and cuddled with her and when I got home form a work event, she was a sleepy, happy, puppy!”

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie and I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. My love of animals has led me to initially start looking after family and friend's critters to wanting to help others as a way to care for their pets when they're busy or unable to. I have cared for both cats, dogs, even a pig, ranging from young to old. Currently, I provide daily check-ins to see how pets are doing. I also provide walks and play time so they get some engagement and aren't lonely while their owners are away on business or vacation or just busy with work. If you are looking for someone to help you with a walk, a check-in, or play time, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm currently funemployed so my schedule is extremely flexible. For drop-ins, I drop in once in the morning at 8:30am and/or again in the evening at 6:30pm. For walks, they would be during middle of the day at around 1pm. Prior to an service, I try to communicate with pet owners about anything I should know. I prefer to over communicate to make sure everyone is on the same page and that I have everything I need to make every visit, stay, or walk successful. When visiting a client's home, I allow pets to come up to me first so they can get acquainted with me. I don't force interaction since that can break down trust. If any of the pets have soiled or damaged anything on the property, I'd document it, send it to the client, then clean up any mess. Whether I'm staying at someone's house or doing drop-ins, I give each pet lots of love and attention in the form of pets, belly rubs, and playing games with them. If they are skittish, I tend to let them approach me when they feel comfortable.

“Jyne came to my rescue when I needed a very last minute dog walker due to an injury. She was an absolute life saver and my dog absolutely adored her. Honey practically bounced off the walls whenever she came over to walk her. 10000/10 would definitely book her again! Thanks so much Jyne!!!”

About: My name’s Lauren. At one point in my life I had 22 pets and I would have kept adopting. I was raised with hunting dogs so needless to say our walks will be engaging and tiring. Born by a cat lady, so your sassy kitties need no fear, I speak their tail language and respect their space. I’ve been watching house pets and reptiles for years Recently I have lost my 2 year old chocolate Lab to a freak infection, Rover is a chance to let me love your animals without needing to commit as a full time fur mom again. If you have any questions or want to share fun cat stories, message me. I cannot wait to meet your four legged dog and kitty friends

“We cannot say enough good things about Surekha. Finding someone you trust with your dog is tough, but she made it incredibly easy. She is so genuinely kind and patient, and she has been absolutely wonderful with our mini Aussie. She understands his personality perfectly and tailors her approach to exactly what our pup needs that day. Surekha is dependable, communicative, and just a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!”
