Dog Walkers in Montpelier, IA

About: Ever since I was a little I knew I wanted to work with and be around dogs. I'm so grateful to be able to spend my day with them. They say when you love what you do you never work a day in your life. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all ages and energy levels! Taking care of your pets is my sole focus. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule to adapt to any dog's needs! Dogs are let out every 2-4 hours and given plenty of time to do their business and run! I care for each pet as if they were my own. I have renovated my garage space to be a perfect environment that is temperature controlled with 24/7 camera security as well as a large yard to run and play! My dogs are kept separate for the safety and well being of all pets involved! I strive to give each pet individualized care!

About: -I treat all pets like that are my own- it is not just "another booking" for me. -I try my best to keep all their routines consistent, so I don't add any extra stress to their life, since I am sure they are already missing you. -I adjust care to each pet's needs, and I am very patient with dogs who are anxious and shy and also ones that are very high energy. -I send frequent photo + video updates (unless you would not prefer this, please let me know, I am happy to refrain.) & I leave detailed visit summaries and always use the app, so you know when I am in your home. -I am responsible, reliable, caring and trustworthy. I have struggled to find the right pet sitter in the past before I used rover, and to find someone that was available when I needed them was everything. I would love to be that person for you, and able to help you out when you need it most. Pet care fits into my daily routine because my fiancé and I already structure our day around consistency with taking care of our own pets. Even with my full time job, I plan my schedule carefully so walks, check-ins, feedings and play sessions are never overlooked. Those are my dogs favorite parts of the day so I make sure to treat your pet the same way. Caring for pets is not something I squeeze in, it's something I love to do and make time for. Having pets of my own keeps me in routine of exercise, and attentive care which carries over right into how I look after every pet I am sitting for. Owners will feel confident in knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who lives this routine every day, not just during bookings. I provide attentive, structured and personalized care, whether pets are in my home or the clients home. I follow each pet's normal routines as closely as I can; including feeding schedule, walk times, medications, crate habits, and play preferences so I can keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets get a clean, safe and calm environment with supervised time, exercise and plenty of affection. I also have a friendly dog and cat who are well-socialized and get along with other dogs. If they are not crate trained I will be sure to sleep with them in our guest room so that they will get rest apart from where my dog and cat sleeps in our bedroom. In a client home I am respectful of the space and keep things so pets feel secure in their home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication and enrichment and I always send regular updates and photos, so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I need to know ahead of time if you dog gets along with cats, if they do not, I will need to watch your dog in your home. I also require a meet and greet if your pets will be coming to our home ahead of time to be sure they get along with our dog and cat as well.

“Cheryl did an amazing job with my pup! She visited at the time we discussed, she shared the walk that she went on with my pup, and she was very responsive. I know my dog had a great time with her and I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in her hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m more than just a pet caregiver, I'm an animal lover! I treat every pet like they are my own, providing them with the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. Trust me to give your furry friend the best possible care. I’ve had pets of my own my entire life and have cared for others pets as well. My dream is to one day own a pet care business/animal rescue facility. I currently own my own business and my schedule is very flexible. I can take time throughout my day to drop in for pet care and walks. I have 5 pets of my own so I know each animal is unique. I follow all instructions and appreciate any info you can provide about your pets preferences.

“Armani was great, my dogs loved going on walks with her. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats dosent worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.

About: I have been raised around both cats and dogs of different sizes. I have worked for close friends and family to watch and take care of their animals.

I have no plans on leaving for vacation during the summer. I used to have a crated dog and would be able to crate a clients dog if needed. I used to have a great dane so I am comfortable with any size dog for walking and playing.

About: I’ve been dogsitting and dog walking pretty consistently since I graduated high school in 2016, though not much via Rover. Word of mouth has been the easiest way but having just moved to Davenport from Muscatine- trying this! I live inbetween Marquette Park and Vander Veer park Plus a slew of smaller parks in green areas. I’ve grown up around a dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life, though I don’t currently have any pets of my own- my cat passed away January 2021. My most regular dogsitting/housesitting experience is a house that has 3 elder/older dogs and 4 cats of varying ages. I’m experiences with young and old animals, administering a variety of medications and adhering to a wide range of schedules. I’m currently a college student but all of my courses have been moved online so I have 3/4 of my day free besides art commissions and other part-time gigs. I live with my roommates 5 year old Lab, with a fenced yard. I’d prefer caring for pets in their homes if possible but mine is a potential.
