Dog Walking New Era

About: I love every pet I've ever met, from my childhood hamsters to my three silly cats - and I already know I love yours! I've had my own kitties for 6 years, and I've been taking care of others' cats, dogs, and small animals for even longer, from playful puppies to grumpy feline queens of the house. I can give most kinds of oral and topical medications comfortably if your pet needs any, and I have a decent amount of behavioral experience with anxious pets. I'm also no stranger to incontinence issues, and am more than happy to scrub any carpet. Bring on the enzyme cleaner! I'm in a transitional period right now, so I am happy to spend as much time with your pet as needed to keep their regular routine. As the owner of more than one anxious cat, I know just how important it is to keep your pet's environment as close to normal as possible while you're gone. I'm more than happy to work with you to make your house as close to routine as possible, from feeding times, play styles, or even someone to pounce on at 3am!

“Shianne is an exceptional dog walker! She's incredibly dependable, flexible, and has fantastic communication. She's also wonderfully sweet with our two corgis, and always makes sure they get a great workout. Our Lulu, who is obsessed with greeting people on her walks, especially loves her time with Shianne. She's my go-to person for our pups!”

About: **Please read the entire section for helpful information if our house is a good fit for your pet.** I grew up on a farm and have been caring for animals from a young age. We currently have 3 doodles & 1 frenchton of our own and have been raising doodles for the past 5 years. We love our dogs and spoil them rotten. They have plenty of outdoor space to roam as well as a play area in our garage when the weather is rainy. We initially joined Rover to host pets in our home but have quickly realized how much we enjoy drop in visits. We love visiting with your pets in their homes where they are comfortable & seeing their true personalities come out. We do host multiple dogs at a time and can only accept dogs that are friendly with others. We crate for feeding and sleeping as this is what we feel is safest in our home so your dog(s) must be comfortable in a crate for them to have a successful stay with us. Please keep in consideration our time. We plan our schedule for both the dogs and our personal lives based on what you schedule. We secure all pets prior to scheduled pick up and drop offs and like to limit the time the dogs are crated. We understand life happens but please communicate when you are going to be late or need to change your scheduled time. Additionally, it is extremely helpful if you text us when you are en route with your ETA. Thank you for helping us keep all visitors safe. We are dog people. We love having them in our home and will be certain to assure plenty of play time as well as time for snuggles, etc. Our 15 year old daughter is also a huge part of loving your pets and can always be found with a dog in her bed. We have a fenced yard in both the side and back of our house. We have 4 dogs of our own that are very friendly and love new friends. We have also turned our garage into a play area for our dogs as they are spoiled and prefer not to be in the rain.

“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”

I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting.

I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative.

I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.
