Dog Walking Palmer

“April is seriously a gem. She has been so kind and patient with my dogs. I was so nervous to start this process on Rover but I am so glad I found her. Not only has she been so caring, but you can just tell how much she loves what she does and goes above and beyond. Thank you so much April!!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I have two of my own fur children, whom both required a lot of attention and are very spoiled! They are also extremely well mannered and I have only self-trained them with patience and proper motivation. I have pet sat for friends and family several times informally, and found it to be so fun! I myself am a very detail oriented person, loves loving on animals, and understands how comforting it is to have the right person looking after your baby! I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard. I also work on patience, obedience commands, and recall with them so that they have little daily disciplines. Both of my dogs are very treat oriented so it makes keeping them up to snuff with their manners easy! They also get regularly walked through our neighborhood, have an abundance of toys, and a very consistent meal time for breakfast and dinner!

About: I'm an experienced dog sitter and work at a veterinary clinic as a kennel attendant, where I care for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care, and I'll treat your pet like they're my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work as a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic and plan my schedule to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care before and after work, as well as on my days off. I follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, potty breaks, lots of attention, and any requested medications or special care. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: My family has always owned one or more dogs or many different breeds since I was born which gave me lots of experience in pet care. I want to ensure that animals are happy and well taken care of. They are a part of our families too. i do go to school and work but i’ve always been good at balancing a schedule and will always be on time. i could dog sit almost everyday and do a good job. i would take care of your pet and your home like they were my own. i believe that if you are going to do something you should do it right.

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: I’ve owned pets my entire life, chose it as a career, and started working as a veterinary assistant. Now I work as a dog trainer! I’m excited to meet you and your pets! Right now I work part time, so I’m available most days in the afternoon/ evenings! I will have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies! Let’s talk about the best day and time for you! The goal is to make sure your pups are happy and cared for as if you were home with them! I will always be prepared, always have treats, and always communicate with you!

“Shanie is very dependable and my dog is excited when I tell him she is coming. It's comforting knowing I don't worry about him so I can get my work done!”

About: I have had animals all my life, especially dogs amongst a few small pets. I have two dogs myself and I am training all of them with basic commands. I have 5 years of experience in training American pitbulls mixes to have as pets around children and other small animals. Something that sets me apart from others is that I recognize dogs and cats behavior such as signs of discomfort. I have personal experience with raising and caring for dogs of all sizes. I want animals to be comfortable, safe, and healthy. This may be disconcerting for owners that expect their pet to have free roam. I would expect multiple walks and sleeping in their dog beds considering the pets disposition as well as updates about pet stay. For house sitting, I will be willing to adjust prices if my own dogs are allowed to accompany me (not required). I am currently doing delivery services such as Grubhub and Doordash so I set the times I work. I have a flexible schedule and do not leave my home very often. I have 2 small dogs that are playful and dog friendly. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do use the long tie out leashes and outdoor playpens. I recently made a potty area for my dogs. I clean and disinfect it multiple times a week with natural products.

About: I have 15 years' experience caring for many dogs including but not limited to senior dogs, dogs that need meds, and dogs with high energy needs. I also have 8 years' experience with rescue horses, and a further 1 year of experience working with rabbits. I am available Friday afternoons through Tuesday evenings. I will make time to care for your dog and make sure that they are happy and healthy. At this time, I am not offering in-home services. I do have a 6-year-old German Shepherd. We spend lots of time on local trails and at local parks, as well as trick and obedience training.

That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

About: In my years of life, I’ve always had pets. I currently have eight cats of my own and help take care of my parents dog! I rescued ten of my cats throughout my life from living on the street as kittens and raised them from kitten formula to adult cat food.

Due to my current unemployment, I am available seven days a week, any time of the day to care for your fur child(ren)! 🥰 please do let me know if your times are flexible. I am available to walk dogs, feed, and play with your pets. I’m even willing to scoop litter boxes and spend time with pets that may experience anxiety being alone all day.
