Dog Walking Murphys

About: As an animal lover and caretaker over the past 40 years, I have experience raising dogs through all ages of life from puppies to seniors & deaf dogs, as well as cats, and farm animals. This love for animals began even before I was a high school 4-H and FFA student working with large farm animals, growing up with cats and dogs. As a pet-sitter for others, I have cared for many kinds of animals in addition to cats and dogs. I was the Dog Leader for the Murphys 4-H for 7 years and assisted the kids in training their dogs to show at the fair. While I have experience training animals, I also love to offer them tender loving care, spending quality time with them, and being their friend. It is important to me that dogs and humans both enjoy play and joy in their days, so I am happy to offer this for your pets when you cannot be there. I currently have a very open schedule, so I am most available to meet your pet care needs. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet at your convenience. When caring for pets as a sitter, I respect both your space and your pets. While I am walking others' dogs, I feel best with on-leash walks, and I will clean up after them. I also always provide animals with fresh clean water during my visits and routine caretaking. I like to keep the home and pets clean, safe, and comfortable while you are away.

About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

“Emma is so sweet! She arrives on time and is patient and gentle with my two boys. I’ve noticed a significant change since she has started walking them while I’m away at work!”

About: Hey there I’m Elora :D I was raised with both cats and dogs of all sizes/ages/personalities and have been house sitting for the past 5 years as a side gig. I am new to Rover trying to expand my clientele! When pet sitting, I aim to stay as close to your dog's schedule as possible, and spend every free moment I have with your animals at home! I love walking around local parks and sending photos of our adventures! House sitting extends beyond just caring for the pets so I also bring in mail, take out trash, water plants, etc. I’m a recent college grad looking to spend my time taking care of animals, as this brings me the most joy. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, so rest assured your animals will be spoiled. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays! I have my own car providing easy and reliable transportation to your home, grooming appts, and emergency vet visits if needed. I have the utmost respect for your home and privacy. I will always leave your home looking better than how I found it. Punctuality and communication are my key pillars.

About: Growing up with animals my entire life, I've branched out to caring for other's animals. From dogs, cats, snakes, and aquariums of all sizes, I am familiar with caring for all kinds of animals including those with special needs. I have worked with blind animals, those with complex medication routines, and those that needed physical therapy. I have also assisted in training animals with behavioral issues and prevented damage to homes while per owners are away. I also volunteer for the local FOAC in my free time. I'm a full time animal lover and would love the opportunity to take care of your furry family! I work full time but have the ability to work from home. I am especially available on weekends, evenings, and holidays. Simply book me and I'll make your schedule work for mine! I have stayed in homes for months at a time caring for animals while owners are on vacation. I am sure to be respectful of your privacy, sticking to specified areas, and focusing on my assigned job of caring for your furry family members. I prefer to leave everything clean and untouched after pet sitting, like I was never there. I am also very quiet with hobbies like crocheting and reading, being respectful of any surrounding neighbors.

About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance. I have a fenced large yard with two separate deck areas, I am open to bringing the pets over and housing them or going to a clients house and pet sitting, walking or even bathing if needed in a comfortable and familiar place for the pet.

About: I was raised on a ranch with all kinds of pets. I can't recall life without dogs we are so fortunate to have them in our lives they are unconditional in the love and affection they give . I was in dog rescue for 21 years as a foster. I had 7 dogs all were what was considered not able to be put in a home do to behavior issues the only option for these dogs was to be euthanized so I kept the rejects and had to stop rescue as to the inn was full and I still dog sat for the dogs that had been at my home until a new home was found . I have extensive experience with all types of dogs . I have a cat who pretends dogs do not exist so she just stays away, my cat was a ferel rescue cat and is now a fat and sassy house cat . I have a large home so have part of it sectioned off where her litter box and food are to keep dogs out of both . If I house sit I have experience with farm animals for feeding. I garden so watering is in my range. I'm home 80% of the time so I'm available. I may run a errand but that's about it . If weather permits and you have a road dog car rides with me are perfect. I spend a lot of my time cooking and blogging I cook for seniors in my community. If I'm gardening outside the dogs are welcome to be with me. I have a double lot so plenty of play room . Half of it is fenced for plenty of play room . I have a crate if needed . Your dog will have free roaming access in my home and allowed on the furniture . If I'm sitting your pet in your home it's your home and your rules that I follow . I have passed my Background check here on Rover to take care of your fur babies. I have passed my 2nd Government Background check to take care of children. I have passed my 3rd Goverment Background check to take care of elders . The point is I want you to be assured your fur babies are safe with me .

“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”

About: I’ve trained my German Shepherd from puppyhood, cared for senior large dogs with patience and skill, and successfully trained a small-to-medium puppy for another family. I spend each day surrounded by my dog, two cats, and parakeet, giving them consistent care, attention, and love. I’m passionate about animals and make their well-being, enrichment, and comfort a natural part of my daily routine. I care for pets in their home by following all routines, keeping their environment safe, and providing constant, attentive supervision. I ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well-loved while you’re away.

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.
