Dog Walking Mount Airy

About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.

“This was our first experience with Rover and Laura eased our mind and exceeded our expectations! Laura was responsive to our questions and came to meet Charlee before their first walk. She’s knowledgeable about all kinds of pets/animals and is clearly passionate about caring for them. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

About: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends cats & dogs while they’re out of town. My favorite part of watching them is taking them on walks along with giving them lots of cuddles & play time. I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments & gigs. My career is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for. This is vital to me, so the animals are able to maintain their same routine & schedule alongside receiving the care & playtime they deserve.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I currently live with my own cat Peanut, but I grew up with 2 cats and a dog. I am very comfortable around rowdy, big, and loud dogs. I work part time at Aldi as a stocker, my schedule varies by week but I work 4-5am to 10am. I am able to come and go as needed in the evening and afternoon. I am good at making sure the house is locked and the animals are happy before finally departing. I am very devoted to making sure that animals in my care are incredibly spoiled and happy.

“Clark & I know Melissa is outstanding! Clark immediately bonded with Melissa, as I did too. When we met, she started getting to know Clark & interact with me about him (his health, fav pet areas, etc). Melissa always visits with us after their walk, never rushing. Melissa is a pleasure too have around. To the point, I highly recommend Melissa for anyone looking for an exemplary dog walker!”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, whether they’re my own, pets I’ve cared for at shelters, or pets I’ve sat for through friends and family. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of available time to provide your pets with loving, attentive, and personalized care! I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate special instructions and make sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs constantly in my life. I understand the need for medication given on time, cats needing daily litter changes, and everything that goes along with pet care. I am free anytime of day. I’m very open, loving, and enjoy building relationships with clients and their pets. Best part of my day is when their animals remember me. All animals are always welcome! I love going on walks with clients dogs, or sitting and taking care of their cats. Other animals are welcome as well, I have had training with all other animals as well- goats, horses, sheep and beyond.

About: I had my own rescue dog (Miss Bean) for 10 years before she passed away earlier this year. As a prior dog owner, I am well-positioned to take care of small and medium-sized dogs who need some extra care during the day. I am working full time, so most of my services will be on weekends or in the evening. Not having a dog of my own allows me to work around your pup’s needs. I am super organized and follow directions well - you know your dogs best as their parent and I will honor your wishes/preferences, all while giving your pup the pets and love they deserve. I do not have a dog of my own since Beans passing, so your dog will have my full attention.

About: Dogs have been in my household from a young age; I am very comfortable with all breeds. Currently, my parents have a 6 year-old golden retriever that I helped raise when he was a puppy. I am an active person and an avid runner, and am prepared to walk or run any distance with your pets. I have experience caring for others’ pets, including overnight stays. In terms of other experience, I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati preparing for a career in emergency medicine. I will make it my goal to ensure the well-being of your pet. I am currently enrolled in elective rotations as a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati. These require presence in the hospital most days of the week, though my weekends are free for dog walking, as are the evening hours. I will not be on any rotations in the first two weeks of October, and also during November, December, and January. I am a long-time lover of animals and am very sensitive to the needs of the pets in my care. I will make sure they are supported while their owners are away. I have experience with overnight stays and can be counted upon to look after your home in addition to your pet. I am comfortable around all breeds, including large dogs.

“Kristin was fantastic. She was very flexible with my last minute needs. My dog loved her and came back tired from a nice long walk. I couldn’t have asked for more.”

“Very nice upbeat young lady. She will give you pics and a progress report at the end of each walk.”

Im pretty available on most days of the week I have a gated back yard, with 3 doggies that are loving. They have their own “house” and I am easily able to put them in or out!

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: I have cared for dogs as long as I can remember ! I’ve never lived in a home where there isn’t some type of four legged friend around! I myself have 2 German Shepards who I have trained myself. I have experience with puppies, older dogs who need a little more attention, reactive dogs, everything under the sun truly ! I work a 8-5 job and am available between 1-2 to check in or walk pets ! I do not work Fridays so I have full availability Thursday- Sunday ! I have a fenced in yard that the pups could potentially enjoy to run there ! I have multiple parks that I frequent and am familiar with that I take my dogs to ! With your home I will be sure to know where everything is and wipe muddy paws before they come back in :)

“Audrey has been amazing to our pups! She is always communicative, flexible, and happy to help us. 10/10 recommend to anyone who is looking for someone to trust with their fur babies.”

About: For my entire life my family has owned cats, dogs, fish and birds. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. Due to my pets’ health conditions I have to vary what/how much food I feed them and how far I walk. I love playing with my dogs and cat and have pet sat for 6 years (cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles and fish). I have lots of cat toys at my house and typically take dogs on two mile walks (but this varies on the health of the dog). As a senior in high school, I will soon be graduating, leaving me with lots of free time to care for your pets! I have a lot of free time to spend playing and bonding with the pets. I will strictly adhere to the instructions provided to care for your pets while also incorporating fun things that I do with my pets. For instance, if I am cat sitting I might bring my red laser for you kitty to chase around because I know how much they enjoy playing with red lasers!

“Bethany did an amazing job with our dog Lily. She gave plenty of updates, pictures,and lots of care! She even went above and beyond and brought in some flowers for us and brought in our trash cans while we were away. We cannot thank you enough for your help this week! I would gladly trust Bethany again. 💖”
