Professional & Specialized Pet Care

Hey I’m Cole. I currently work with Rover and work full time on my small business “Vander Wall Enterprises”. I specialize in offering premium care to bigger dog breeds and have taken training courses for CPR, oral medication, and injections. I have 7 years experience in watching other pets and 11 years of owning my own pet. I attend college online and will be ready to care for your pets at a moments notice. Please contact me and I’ll set up a meeting asap. I love animals and love my job, besides work, I have been an athlete my whole life and hike with pets all the time. In addition to exercise, I can offer emotional and physical support for recovering and senior dogs who may need a slower pace. I have also had many clients request for me to watch their cats or even plants! I used to work at Twinbrook Nursery in Franklin lakes and understand how much water and sun your plants may need. Pick me to be your sitter and you won’t regret it! All my clients appreciate my work and my goal is to offer a 5 star rating every time. IG: colethedogwalker

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for most of my neighbors who own big dogs, I have watched boxers, pit bulls, huskies, German Shepards, and a staffordshire. My families pet is standard size dachshund, and even though he’s the most stubborn breed ever, I love him to death. He’s the reason why I care for other animals because he made it extremely difficult to train him to be the good boy he is today. Training and dog walking go hand in hand for me and I try and instill good walking to all doggies!

Cole did a great job with our one-year-old pup! Our little girl was always excited to see him and was a happy girl for the three days we were gone with Cole in charge of her care!

Cole is my go to guy for my 103 pound husky/shepherd mix. He’s quite a handful but Cole is very good with him. Highly recommend anytime.

Cole was excellent and we would not hesitate to use him again. We were away for an extended period and he took care of 2 dogs and a cat, as well as looking after the house. He came by twice before we left to go over all the details and meet the animals. Excellent understanding of what we needed and great communication. Highly recommend.

Cole and Ainsley did an amazing job of caring for our pug for the weekend. Lots of pictures and texts throughout. Came home to a very happy doggie & will continue to use their services. Highly recommend!

Our first vacation using a house sitter and Cole did a great job. We found Cole to be very attentive and trustworthy with our precious pups with great communication throughout. Cole does a great job not because he HAS to but because he WANTS to. Highly recommend.

Our family had good vibes about Cole even through texting before meeting. He is knowledgable and responsible. Very communicative and was ready to help care for our dog. Highly recommend.

Some important information I always collect before taking care of a clients dog is if they are friendly with other animals, if they are friendly with people, there walking tendencies, and where all equipment is for the pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
