Dog Walking Oak Level

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and advocate for those animals who cannot advocate for themselves. I've taken care of all the pets in my personal life for family and friends since I was a child and have been taking care of everyone else's pets and farm animals since I was 18 years old. Some of my responsibilities have been working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and of course Cats and dogs. I had experience with exotics such as geckos and snakes. As you can see, I have had experience with the smallest to the largest animals and look forward to meeting and taking care of your pets and/or farm animals. I am a full-time pet and farm animal caretaker and have no scheduling issues to work around. I make the safety and wellbeing of your pets my priority. I take care of your pets in their environment and follow care instructions laid out for them by your specific preferences. I do not take pets to my home due to the stress it puts on your pets and mine but am happy to watch them in your home.

About: I have years of experience providing pet care, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I’m passionate about training, exercise, and creating fun, safe environments for pets. My care style includes plenty of attention, playtime, and understanding each pet's needs. I’m also comfortable with special needs pets or those requiring medication. I’m an animal lover who enjoys giving pets the time and care they deserve. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly, as I’m flexible and dedicated to making sure every pet is treated with kindness and respect. I have college level classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but that does not make me any less flexible. For pet-sitting in your home, I ensure it’s a safe space, following any guidelines or routines pets are used to. Your pet’s safety is my top priority.

About: Hi! I'm Laney, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From high energy puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC, I pride myself on providing personalized, dependable care that fits each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach - whether it's long walks, playtime, or just cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet like they're my own. You can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry family members safe and happy while you're away! I currently work remotely part-time, so I have tons of free time in my day to give love to your babies! I love going on a daily walk when its not storming so getting your pups exercise in for the day will be no issue! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and familiar environment. I stick closely to each pet’s routine - whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime - so they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy, and I always keep the space clean, pet-proofed, and cozy. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions to a T. Whether it’s extra belly rubs, special diets, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what each pet needs.

About: Homemade treats and lots of love and fun! We enjoy playing at home, going for long walks, playing at the dog park, riding with the windows down, belly rubs, kisses and cuddles. I don’t mind taking to the vet or pet stores to be of more help to you. Enjoy light grooming and brushing with your approval. No matter the size, they are all puppies or kitties to me lol. I even have jumps and hoops for the active pups who like to jump and have a good time. I can give meds and special diets when needed. I have many referrals.i have two daughters who both work for rover as well. We would love to spend time with your babies and give them love and attention I am a stay at home mom that works one day a week i am free to love and care for your babies while you are away. I am willing to crate when you ask me to but prefer time out of crate to spend with your babies. Nothing like playing ball or cuddling. Whatever your pet need, I’m available.

“Katie was amazing with our dogs. She showed up right on time - as scheduled - and we received daily updates/pics. We came home to happy & relaxed pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

About: The benefits of dogs swimming are tremendous! Whether it's releasing energy in younger pups or offering joint pain relief in seniors, I am excited to offer dog swimming as a service in my outdoor pool. This service includes pickup/drop-off, a half an hour swim with life jacket, one on one swim coaching, picture and/or video of your pup and a post swim shower. This service is listed under Doggy Day Care for $100. Feel free to message me with any questions or set up a meet and greet at your house. I have completed training as a dog groom technician and work part time at a local grooming salon. I have experience in handling dogs of any age, especially seniors. I understand the extra care and attention senior pups should have. I also love the energy in younger pups and embrace the opportunity to provide them with effective, yet enjoyable exercise. In addition to walking dogs, I am also a trained dog groomer technician. This allows me flexibility to accommodate various scheduling needs. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling or availability. The safety of your pet is my first priority. I will only take on one client per visit and will only handle two or more dogs if they live in the same home.

About: I have just moved back home for the summer before heading off to medical school in the Fall. For the past year, I have been dog sitting in Charlottesville, VA through the Rover app. I absolutely loved experiencing so many different breeds and interacting with different ages, temperaments, and neediness. While I am unable to dog sit while home, I figured dog walking and check ins would be a great alternative. This summer, I will not be working so I am available any time of day to care of your precious pets while you’re busy with other responsibilities! I am a very trust worthy individual and precious clients have trusted me with full access to their homes when needed. I will always be conscious of your pets individualized needs during the walk as well as securely closing up your home when leaving.

“Kayleigh took wonderful care of Duke! We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her in the future.”

I’ll love your pup like my own, I’ll play with them, and I’ll make sure they’re in the best care possible! I’ve been mainly around small breeds (chihuahuas, Pomeranians, dachshund, and certain mixed breeds) but I will love any dog of any breed or size! I’ve always loved taking care of animals and giving them a disgustingly amount of love (haha). I’ve nursed puppies back to health and I’ve spent the final moments with senior dogs making the most of their final days. I would love to meet your dog and your family! I’m available almost always and can be flexible with my schedule, if you need me I’m there! I look forward to meeting your precious puppy and your family! :-)
