Pet care experience
Animal Care from a Former Zookeeper
I have dedicated many years of my career to taking care of various kinds of animals. I have cared for dogs since I was 8 years old, my own as well as friends. I was also a volunteer at a humane society for two years. I was one of their dog walkers and dog play pals. During that time I worked with puppies, active, slow, disabled, large, small, and senior dogs. I have cared for cats, coral tanks, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, hermit crabs, various fish for friends and colleagues. In my professional career as an animal caretaker at various aquariums and zoos, I have provided care for anything from corals to Bottlenose dolphins. I have been trained in providing basic animal care, basic animal training, aquarist techniques, as well as enrichment practices. As you can see, I have made it my life's mission to provide high quality care for any pet or animal in my care.

Ratings and reviews
New user to Rover here… I needed a last minute dog walker for my 4 month old puppy for a couple of days while I was working the evening shift and Payton was amazing! I’m very cautious about who I trust to come into my home and care for my dog, especially since he’s still a puppy, and she immediately put me at ease. She was flexible, reliable, communicative, and handled my little guy with so much care. The best part was that she sent me pictures of him while I was at work, which I really appreciated. When I came home, he was happy and calm. I felt completely confident leaving him in her hands. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch or just in general!!
Payton is a wonderful dog walker. I can’t recommend her enough?
Payton is an incredible dog walker. She’s caring, dependable and super communicative.
Payton is so incredible. She’s been walking our dogs and is just so reliable and loves our dogs.
Payton was so wonderful with your 7 yo dog! Always on time and very communicative! We will definitely be using her for walks again in the future!
Payton has been great to work with!

Schedule
I am a full-time beekeeper, which means that I am very open in the winters and less so in the summers. I can come over during my lunch breaks to hang out or walk your furry friend, and also stop by in the mornings to provide enrichment and company.
