Dog Walking Palo

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve owned dogs for years, fostered dogs, and have experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, boundaries, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable with large and strong breeds, as well as dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I also have experience working on basic obedience, leash manners, commands, and positive, reward-based training. I believe dogs thrive with a combination of consistency, exercise, enrichment, affection, and clear expectations. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own and make sure owners receive plenty of communication and updates while they’re away. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for dogs is already a big part of my life. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, enrichment, and plenty of attention and affection. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet individualized care rather than simply fitting them in between other commitments. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to adjust my routine to match what your pet is accustomed to at home so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Here’s a warm, professional answer you can use for your Rover profile: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific rules or training they’re working on. I know consistency is important for dogs, especially when their family is away. Safety is always my priority. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, energy level, and individual needs. I use positive, reward-based reinforcement and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. 🐾

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I am in school full time during the weekdays, but Fridays when I’m off of clinicals, I am more than happy to start a house sit or drop in!! On the weekends all of my services are available! I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

Thanks! Hi guys! I’m Chrissy. I have been dog sitting for over 9 years now. I love dogs more than people & I love spoiling your babies.

I have 1 pup- he’s 5 years old and he is very friendly. We spoil and love in our home. They can snuggle on our couch or beds. We go for walks and have lots of outdoor play time too! We even have a doggy pool for those darn hot summer/fall days!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.
