Friendly St. Pete Dog Walker!
Pet care experience
My own experience with pets started when I was about 7 years old and my family got the sweetest lab-mix puppy, Patches, from a dog that had a litter in our neighborhood. With Patches at home when I went off to college at the University of Tennessee, I started dog sitting/walking for my friends' pets when they'd travel. When I moved to Southern California in early 2017, I created a Rover profile and had a great time exploring my city with a variety of dogs. I continued to use Rover when I moved a year later to Minneapolis, MN and loved learning about the city on my adventures with different pups--it's a whole other ballgame suiting them up in jackets and booties for walks in freezing temps! I've now been in St. Pete about 4 months, and I'm hoping to find more friendly pups here to teach me about this beautiful town. I'm happy to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and medical backgrounds. I have experience integrating Zak George's training techniques and can apply these methods during walks and visits with your pup if you're using his system. I also have experience giving oral medication, but am willing to learn injected medication if your pet should need. Though I grew up a dog-person, I fell in love with a cat-person and we started fostering cats in Minneapolis through a rescue non-profit, Twin Cities Pet Rescue. We foster-failed our very first cat, Einstein, and about 5 fosters later (all adopted!), our second cat, Zula/Jellybean. I'm now a very happy at-home cat-lady as well and am comfortable watching your cats should you need a sitter!
Reviews
Casey was amazing from start to finish. After having another sitter cancel just a few days before my trip, I was searching last minute for a sitter for my dog and two cats. Casey made me feel very comfortable leaving my babies with her and sent me texts/pictures each day. I will definitely be using her for any trips I have planned in the future!
Casey provided very thoughtful care for my two cats while I was away. She responded promptly and consistently during her time with the cats and animals were content and relaxed when I returned home!
Casey has always listened and implemented whatever loose leash rules I've asked of her, listened to my request for a long line to give my dog more space, and dressed my dog in whatever winter gear I've asked for! Casey is great :)
I've hired several other dog walkers on Rover and through other means and I've kept coming back to Casey. She communicates well, has always been responsible and on time, and clearly loves my dog! I plan to continue working with Casey as long as I can!

A typical day
Since I am new to St. Pete, I am looking for some furry companions to help me explore! I'd love to take your dog(s) on walks through your neighborhood or by the bay, or on runs if he/she needs a little more exercise! I'm more than happy to throw the ball/Frisbee or play tug-of war to keep your pet entertained while you're away!
