Dog Walking Monticello

About: I’ve loved animals throughout my life and have always been comfortable around dogs of all sizes, including very large breeds. I grew up with a German Shepherd and have spent years interacting with dogs through family, friends, and my work in clients’ homes. When I worked in housekeeping, many of my clients had large dogs, so I became comfortable entering and working in homes where dogs were present while respecting their space, routines, and boundaries. I’m comfortable getting down on the floor to play, giving a dog time to warm up to me, and paying attention to their body language rather than forcing interaction. I’m not a dog trainer, and my focus is not training. My goal is simple: to provide attentive, dependable care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I work a rotating 2-2-3 night-shift schedule, which gives me several days off each week. My availability varies by work cycle, but I can accommodate pet-care visits throughout the week when scheduled around my work hours and rest time. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and affectionate. I follow your pet’s established routine for meals, bathroom breaks, and other needs. Expect plenty of affection, playtime, companionship, and a relaxed presence. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while keeping their comfort and safety a priority.

“Great communication and was very sweet with our boy!”

“He has been amazing! Our dogs are so well cared for and he’s always right on time. He takes the time to play with them during their daily walk, his communication is always prompt and he’s been flexible when things have come up. Highly recommend 😊”

About: With over 26 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring a level of knowledge and confidence that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I've raised, trained, and worked closely with my own dogs over the years, friends,and family- giving me real world understanding of behavior, routines, and what each dog needs to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, senior, needs any medication, or somewhere in between, I adapt my care to match their personality and routine so they feel at home even when you're away. My goal is simple: provide reliable, attentive care that keeps your dog happy,secure, and well loved and gives you complete peace of mind. I am focusing on working with what I love. That just happens to be dogs! My availability is open so I'm ready to get started! I offer everything EXCEPT for boarding in my own home or cat care as I am highly alleric. I keep to my clients routine as closely as possible, I love very specific instructions so I can make sure I'm doing what needs to be done to make sure the pets are well taken care of. My dogs get playtime daily, they go out multiple times a day, and they get treats in moderation. Positive reinforcement is the only way to go. No yelling, or anything of the kind. I am patient, even if accidents happen.

“Nakia was very attentive to Flacka’s needs and went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable to eat and drink while we are away! She really made me comfortable being away from him.”

About: I love all breeds of dogs and I love spending time with puppies and older dogs that need extra tender love and care for them. I’m currently working ROVER part-time! I’m available on the weekends from 11am-7:30pm and Monday-Friday 6:30pm-8:30pm. I can house sit but I will need a 72 hour advance when you need me to do that. I love caring for dogs outside of my own. I would prefer to home sit at your home, and I love taking dogs out for walks and spending time with them.

About: My passion has always been caring for animals, which is why I chose a career as a zookeeper. In recent years I have worked with exotic animals including bats, birds of prey, and reptiles however before that I worked as a kennel supervisor caring for dogs and cats. My passion for animals in never ending and as a zookeeper, I’m no stranger to the less glamorous side of animal care. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or an animal with special needs, I understand that every pet is unique. I take pride in providing the same patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care that I would want for my own pets. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available Monday through Friday, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide whatever they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra company and cuddles. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I care for my clients pets like they are my own. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets and I make sure to follow their routine to keep them comfortable.

About: Hi! I'm a reliable and caring pet lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I pay close attention to each pet's unique needs and routine. I believe in creating a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through consistent care, patience, and communication. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet's schedule. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the same love and care I would give my own! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher currently on summer break and transitioning into a remote position, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily adapt to your pet's routine to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, and supervision while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. In my home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine by using crates when appropriate, ensuring pets are properly leashed during walks, and providing plenty of toys, treats, and enrichment. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication needs, and any special instructions. I understand that pets are family members, and my goal is to provide loving, dependable care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals. Growing up, my mother was a dog sitter, which made me comfortable around most, if not all, breeds. I would help her with feeding while she took the dogs out. Now that I’m older, I have two huskies and a cat. My ultimate goal is to eventually have farm animals, mainly as pets. 😂 So, my love for animals is quite immense. I’m currently in school and volunteer for 4-5 hours each day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I can provide potty breaks whenever needed, except during my volunteer work. Since these volunteer days are mandatory for my school program, we’ll have to find a way to accommodate them. Aside from these commitments, I’m mostly at home, except for occasional errands. I only allow one pooch per night, as per my previous experiences. Please be considerate of this, unless discussed otherwise, as it’s more for the comfort of both yours and mine. ☺️ I have a vast yard, spanning 2 acres. Approximately half of it is fenced in to provide a safe space for my two energetic huskies. One of them is particularly lazy, while the other is quite active. Additionally, I have a cat that has a fondness for our dogs.

“She was pleasant and made me feel safe giving my baby to her for a walk.”

Aniyah R.

“Katelynn has been excellent! We have always come home to a very happy pup after Katelynn’s walks. She always sends a very thorough description of her visit, sends us great (and many) pictures of our girl during her walk. Very trustworthy! Will continue to book! Thank you Katelynn - Lena is our baby and we’re very happy to find someone who takes such good care of her while we’re gone.”

About: Hi! My name is Aaniyah, and I’m a passionate animal lover with both professional and hands on experience caring for pets and farm animals. I’ve worked at several pet boarding and daycare facilities, where I cared for both dogs and cats, supervised group play, provided one-on-one attention, and made sure every pet felt safe, loved, and comfortable. I also gained valuable experience at the NCAT farm, where I worked with farm animals and learned about animal behavior, nutrition, and health. These experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals in different settings. I have skills in oral and injected medication administration, applying eye drops, and caring for diabetic dogs. I’m also experienced with senior pets and making sure they get the extra patience and care they need. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy, a senior dog who needs medication, or a cat who just wants cuddles and quiet company, I’ll tailor my care to their needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’ve worked at multiple boarding and daycare facilities, I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, medication at a certain time, or evening play before bed. I’m not offering in-home boarding at the moment, so all of my services are focused on caring for pets in their own homes. I make sure to follow your care instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or giving extra playtime, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d want for my own.

About: I have always had dogs, goldendoodles labradors bichon and always took care of my family’s animals from guinea pigs to dogs, and neighbors pets as well. I love animals!! I do work four days a week. I have plenty of time in the morning till two on days I work and days I’m available all day. We would go to the park. I have a fenced in yard as well. A neighborhood that I can walk dogs as well. I have a fence backyard plenty of room in the front. I have no problem, walking your dog at your home and your area at the park.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different temperaments, and committed to providing reliable care and attention. I have a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online, which allows me to be available for reliable drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m committed to being punctual, attentive, and making sure pets receive the care, attention, and routine they’re used to while their owners are away. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine during each visit. I always follow owner instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, fresh water, meals, exercise, and care while their owners are away.

About: Pretty much not a single day of my life has gone by without being around animals/pets. Even though I am new to the rover platform, I have cared for animals my whole life and will treat your fur baby just like one of my own! I’m really trying to build up my clientele to make this a successful side business so if you give me a shot I won’t disappoint! I currently work 2nd shift so I am readily available most weeks as listed: Mon, Wed, Thurs = 10am-3pm Tues = 10am-1pm Fri & Sat = 10am-6pm Sun = not available None of those times are set in stone and depending on the situation I may still be able to work something out with you. I’m flexible so you just let me know what you need. Those times are just a general idea of when I’m available each day of the week. I will treat your home with respect and will follow any guidelines you ask in order to care for your pet. Safety is my #1 priority so I will always ensure I am following your routine of doing things to keep your pet free from danger (walking on a leash if you do so, not letting them escape the house, etc)

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for family pets and about 7 years of hands on experience training and caring for my own dogs. I currently have a small Maltese/Yorkie mix and i understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I’m naturally fun and high functioning energy, so I’m comfortable keeping up with active dogs, but I’d say patience is one of my biggest strengths. Working in healthcare has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and compassion are, and I bring that same approach when caring for animals. I work PRN(as needed) in healthcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My availability can vary week to week, but I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care and make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with access to a dog park, a large open field directly in front of my complex, and several nearby walking trails. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. I’ll also follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special care preferences you provide so your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: Dogs are my favorite, I have not lived a year of my life without a loving pup, I've had all sorts of dogs of varying breeds and sizes and I am very comfortable with any and all dogs! Lap dogs are my favorite, especially the big pups who are just trying to fit in with the small ones. All dogs make me happy, when I see their smiling faces I just remember all of the things that I love about them. If needed I can bathe and brush your dog and at this moment I am working on potty training/ house breaking my 3 month old puppy, named Boone, and i am also comfortable with doing that for you while you're away or at work.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a teen, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their pets, walking, feeding, playing with them. I'm passionate about caring for animals and providing quality customer service. I currently working full time, with early hpurs, so I'm available every day after 11:30am to drop in to care for your fur baby. I care for my cat by giving him all the toys to play with, freshly cleaned litter box daily, fed 2 times a day and all the plush blankets he could ever want.
