Pet care experience

I’ve lived and taken care of dogs my whole life, 5 larger breed dogs specifically. I know how to walk, feed, and care for them in a nurturing yet disciplinary way. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for both pet and owner, so always feel free to let me know what I can do for you to be the best walker, sitter, etc!

Dear Rover Family, Payton would make an excellent addition to your dog-walking family. Since birth, Payton has been surrounded by akitas. In addition to developing a strong bond with them, Payton developed empathy, compassion, and responsibility. She always knew they were a part of our family as much as she was. I know this because I am her mother, Tina Shepardson. We have raised Payton with the expectations of knowing how to take and follow through with commitments, to act responsibly in all situations, and to accept constructive criticism. She has danced since age 3 and has also developed an extremely strong work ethic and disciplinary skills. As a result, she attended Walnut Hill School For The Arts her junior and senior years where in addition to academics, the dance program took place 6 sometimes 7 days a week for several hours. She would take the owner-dog-walker relationship very seriously, respecting the wishes and directions at all times. Feel free to call me with any questions, or visit our current akitas on Instagram and see Payton in many pictures showing her love of dogs! Thank you,

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.
