Dog Walking Meadow Wood

About: http://www.rover.com/sit/athens71619 Experienced with medication administration (oral, topical) Daily photo/video updates so you never wonder how they're doing In-home overnight care to keep routines consistent 20+ years caring for dogs, cats, and some exotics alike. Pet care is a steady, built-in part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in. In the morning, I feed my cat, which also gives me a natural reason to get up and start the day with some fresh air and movement. When pet sitting dogs evenings are usually the most involved part of the routine — a longer walk or play session, feeding, and some downtime together, like brushing them or just relaxing on the couch. I also handle the weekly tasks on a set day: cleaning their bedding or litter box, washing food and water bowls thoroughly. Overall, I see pet care less as a chore and more as a rhythm that keeps me consistent and grounded — it gives structure to my day whether things are calm or hectic. When I care for pets in a client's home, I start by following the routine and instructions the owner has given me as closely as possible, since consistency helps pets feel secure even when their person is away. I stick to their regular feeding times and portions, make sure fresh water is always available, and follow any specific dietary or medication instructions exactly as written. For walks and exercise, I keep to the pet's normal schedule and pace, paying attention to their energy level and any physical limitations. Indoors, I spend time on play and companionship — not just the basic tasks — since many pets get anxious or lonely when their owner is gone, and a little extra attention goes a long way. I'm also mindful of the home itself: I make sure doors and gates are secured, clean up any messes right away, and leave the space as tidy as I found it. If I notice anything unusual — a change in appetite, behavior, or a health concern — I contact the owner right away and document it, along with photos or notes if needed. Before and after each visit, I send updates to the owner so they know their pet is safe, fed, and happy, which also gives them peace of mind while they're away.

“We hired Stephany last minute and we are so thankful for her! She has truly been a wonderful addition to our dogs daily routine. We are blessed to continue our daily walks this upcoming week. She is always on time, communicates well, takes fun pictures during the walk, and always leaves after making sure he is taken care of.”

About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and support. I also have experience caring for special needs animals, including administering medications and following detailed care routines. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, and hedgehogs. I also have experience showing and training show dogs and showing rabbits, which taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust, and provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. When house sitting, I’m able to work from your home, so I can be present with your pet throughout the day and provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also offer dog boarding and daycare in my home for dogs who are potty trained and comfortable living alongside cats. Because I work remotely, I’m home throughout most of the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care during their stay. While I occasionally have meetings or appointments, I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty schedules, exercise, and household routines. I understand the trust involved in having someone care for both your pets and your home, and I treat both with the utmost respect and care. For boarding and daycare in my home, I provide a comfortable, supervised environment where dogs can relax, play, and get plenty of attention throughout the day. I work from home, so I’m able to be present and provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I do have cats in my home, so I only accept dogs who are comfortable and safe around cats and are fully potty trained. No matter where care takes place, I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, prioritize their safety, and make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and supervision.

“I can’t say enough good things about Trevor! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make my dogs feel comfortable with him. He showed incredible patience, especially with one of my pups who can be a little shy around new people. It was clear right away how great he is with animals — calm, attentive, and genuinely caring. He followed every single instruction, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dogs absolutely loved him — their tails were wagging nonstop when he arrived, and they came back from their walks happy and relaxed. It’s not always easy to find someone you fully trust with your pets and I’ll definitely be using his services again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: Having grown up with four or more pets for most of my life, supporting animal routines is second nature to me. For the past 6 years, I have independently managed several clients, providing reliable, high quality, and empathetic service for them and their pets. My experience ranges from managing high energy puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs, and cats too! I am currently taking gig work (usually in the evenings) and working events with the city of Denver every Wednesday, I am currently very flexible to make your pet my priority. I walk into every job ready to give a level of care I would hope my own animals would receive while I was away. All animals deserve love and attention, I give everything from cuddles and kisses to walks and playtime/enrichment based on the needs/desires of the animal.

About: Your pet will be cared for like one of the family. I have a big yard for them to play in and I have plenty of comfy spots for them to lay in, and I have plenty of toys for them to play with. Whether I come to your house or you come to my house your pet will be safe, sound, and happy! I will give extra attention to your pet if I am dog-walking or just visiting with your pet. I will provide pictures and videos for the owner's peace of mind. Seniors are welcome and encouraged to apply as they will be properly spoiled rotten. Puppies are welcome but prefer that they are potty trained first. Can work on basic commands with all. I am semi retired. I have time in my day to spoil the fur babies! My schedule can be flexible to meet the needs of both my fur babies and other fur babies visiting. All pets are in the pack. They go outside often and go on one to two walks a day. They can sleep on the furniture or beds. All are fed on a schedule and treats or bones are provided.

About: My family has owned a dog my entire life and instilled in me the responsibility it requires to care for a pet. I love dogs and want to ensure they receive the care they need during the day when people are at work. I’m currently in the process of applying to volunteer at the doggy daycare my dog goes to. I work from home and create my own hours so my schedule is very flexible. I walk my own dog 3 times a day to ensure he gets plenty of fresh air and exercise! I feel lucky to be able to work remote and want to help those who don’t to ensure the same care for their dog. I have a 2 story, 3 bedroom house with nearly 1,000 square feet of backyard. The backyard is fenced and has a few trees to provide shade. During warmer temperatures, I’ll fill up a small kitty pool for my own dog to ensure he always has water and can cool off. My dog loves other dogs and is always looking for a new buddy!
