Dog Walking Palmer

About: I’m an adult who is passionate about providing dependable, loving care for animals of all ages while their owners are away. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, slower walks, medication routines, or simply more companionship. I respect each pet’s individual personality and routine and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their animals and home are in caring, responsible hands. My pet-care schedule is flexible and built around my clients’ needs. I intentionally plan my week around bookings, allowing me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, weekends, and extended care. I enjoy making pet care a priority rather than trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routine. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions and give each pet the individual attention they need. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, with communication and updates while you’re away.

“Emma was so responsible, on time, great communicator and our puppy was so excited!! Will definitely book with Emma again!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for 6 years and have experience caring for dogs through all kinds of situations — from energetic puppy stages to recovery days that require extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, relaxing together, or giving extra attention when they need comfort and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication instructions if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and providing updates so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: Grew up having a dog (or 2 at times…as well as bunnies…and some other reptiles!). I currently live in an accommodation where I am not able to have a pet and I have become to miss animals more and more! There is no such thing as a bad animal, only a poorly trained one, and I treat them all with love and care. I’m available every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day (and night)! My schedule can be as free as needed on those days and I am open to spending lots of time with your pets to make sure they get the best care possible! I am very careful and thoughtful around pets and other people’s property. I will treat your belongings and animals with the utmost respect and care.

“My dogs love Michell! Michell is always on time and does a good walk with the dogs.”

About: I've had furry family members my entire life. They taught me the importance of patience, loyalty, and kindness. My family and I were lucky enough to have a variety of dogs as part of our family. A Basset Hound (Jake), a Pitbull (Roxy), an English Mastiff/Shar-pei mix (Bruno), and an American Akita/Shar-pei mix (Meesha). The most important thing about having a furry family member is knowing that they each have their own personality and they have feelings just like humans do. You're their entire world and are deserving of the love and respect that they unconditionally give out to you. And like family members, they have bad days too. Since they aren't capable of voicing their grievances, they rely on their loving family to recognize these issues with patience and caring attention. Currently I have two rescue cats named Cooper and Remy. Both have wildly different personalities, love cuddles, and enjoy playing with their toys. I work at an animal shelter part-time and I am fear free certified. I am available weekdays and weekends. I'm excited for the opportunity to help out those who need that fun night out, end up working overtime, or have fun plans for the weekend. We love our fur-babies but unfortunately, we can't bring them everywhere. I will travel to and sit at the client's home. I would rather your pets be in a comfortable environment that they are familiar with to make this experience as relaxed and happy as possible.

About: I have cared for and had pets my entire life. I also worked at a dog kennel for 4+ years. Caring for, giving meds to, playing with, and help grooming clients beloved dogs and cats. I work as a server/bartender. So I am available before and after work for pet sitting/walking. I’m very flexible to different schedules. I am always cautious of dogs/cats body language and can be a safe person for them to trust. I am always aware of surroundings and willing to make changes to protect the pets from their triggers.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs since 2018 and have extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I take a holistic approach to dog care, focusing not just on supervision, but on understanding behavior, body language, and overall well-being to ensure your pup feels safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable providing basic training support during overnight stays, including reinforcing good manners, leash skills, and consistency with your home routines. My goal is to maintain structure while giving your dog plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction. For overnight stays, I ask that you provide your dog’s food, treats, and bedding to help them feel comfortable and at home. Safety is very important to me we have a secure 7-foot fenced yard. A collar and leash are required at drop-off to ensure smooth and safe transitions. I treat every dog like family and pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and personalized care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! My day starts early — I wake up at 5:30am and let the dogs out first thing in the morning to start their day on a consistent routine. Breakfast is typically served around 7am, and dinner is between 4–5pm. I believe structure and routine help dogs feel secure and balanced while they’re away from home. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully secured 7-foot fenced yard to provide plenty of safe outdoor space for exercise and play. The property is also equipped with outdoor security cameras for added monitoring and peace of mind.

“Lora is great with Flynn and I appreciate how reliable and flexible she is!”

“Gillian communicates well and answers my messages in a timely fashion. She is on time for her visits. My pup Ransom is usually hesitant the first few times around a new sitter, but warmed to Gillian and went on a walk with her no problem. Thank you.”

About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I currently have three dogs of my own. Two girls and one boy. I also have worked at a pet store for the past 2 years providing pet care to 40+ puppies on a daily basis. Each of them are loved and cared for as if they were my own and I’ll be sure to do the same for yours! ❤️🐾 Although I work full time I am able to provided services without conflicting schedules. The daily care for your pet will be the same I provide for my own ❤️ My pets free roam the house but I have a doggy gate blocking the steps or any “unsafe” areas. I also have pet cameras placed in the main parts of my home. And bedroom doors are always closed for their safety 💖

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! Currently we have a farm that includes: 11 dogs, 4 ferrets, 6 pigs, tons of chickens, ducks, and maybe around 20 or so cats! I’m a huge animal lover and am good with dogs anywhere from the puppy stage, to the “old-man” stage! I am reliable when it comes to walking, feeding, bathing, and of course belly rubs! I currently stay at home so I have plenty of time to fit all of your pet care needs into my daily routine! I am looking for a job but will arrange as need be! My current pets have a fenced in yard. If I am watching your beloved fur babies, I can supervise in a fence in yard, or take them out on a leash if need be! Any rules that you set will be 100% followed, even those bed times for the fur kids!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.

About: Your family is my family I have a genuine love for all animals. Some call them pets I call them family! I enjoy spending time with these adorable fur babies, and this app allows me to do it for most of my day! I am pretty unorthodox as I don't have a 9-5 I believe in following my passions and this just so happens to be top of my list. My schedule is super flexible to cater to your families needs I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for running around, tossing a frisbee, or for just laying out and catching a breeze © I have cages if that's what you prefer, music, television, or even a good book if that's what your family enjoys I’m a stay at home mom so I enjoy the company! Pets are thee most loving and kindest to be around. It is my absolute pleasure to take care of them I have a fenced backyard, plenty of toys, dog treats and love to give! My style of caring for your fur babies is making them feel at home by keeping them close by my side until you return lots of rubs and walks so they can check out the neighborhood and get some fresh air!

About: Hello, I'm a big animal lover. Life is always better with furry friends! I have pretty much always had a dog most of my life & always consider them family. I was lucky & got to be there when my former fur baby was born. Her mom let me massage her hips & tummy while in labor. It was her 1st litter & she was awesome!! She let me handle all 9 of the babies after she was done delivering so we could transfer all them to a clean bed & to help rotate at feeding time to ensure they all ate. All 9 survived & were healthy!! I was also a "doula" for my mom's cats pregnancy & she let me massage her tummy & handle her babies right away also. It's a blessing to see & be a part of. I would love to provide a safe and comfortable care for your pet while you are away. I used to have birds, cats, fish, been around reptiles & snakes, turtles, I worked at an eagle rapture center in Alaska which is where I'm from. I have a strong belief to only work in something you love so here I am. :-) Your pet will receive the same love & attention as if they were my own & provide plenty of pictures. Before I became a provider for Rover I used the service a few times myself & was very appreciative when I was given daily updates & pictures & want to provide the same for others. It truly meant a lot to me to get that so I know the importance. -Reliable, Safe, Comfortable w/ all animals -Wellness checks -Doggie daycare in your home-Rover doesn't allow me to add this feature/pricing-please ask for free quote -Pet Sitting -Pet Grooming -Walking/Running/Playtime -Pickup/Drop Off for Appointments -Training -Overnight care -Reiki/Massage for pets -I'm more than happy to help w/ some extra house cleaning (additional) so don't be afraid to ask.

Customized services to your fur babies needs. Each pet is unique & each visit is different & I'll work with you the best I can.

“Madyson was amazing!! Not only did my dog absolutely love her she was available the same day within hours of needing someone to watch my pup. I can’t say enough good things about her. I received cute pictures and she even tidied up the dog toys and bedding etc. I would HIGHLY recommend using Madyson for your furry friends.”

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

“One of the best I’ve experienced on this app so far. Bola was very effective, communicative and a joy to work with! Django loves her so much! I highly recommend her for your pet!”

“Maraid did a wonderful job with my puppy Reggie. She played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk and spent a nice hour with him so that I could go to work and not leave him in a crate all day! I felt very comfortable with Maraid! She’s fantastic!!”
