Dog Walking Phoebus

About: I have always loved being around animals and have always lived with cats and dogs. If I see an animal at a function I immediately v line it straight to them. I currently have a 7 and 5 year old lab. I am a stay at home mom to a baby so my days are free! Helping your fur babies also helps me get out of the house! If your animal is not child friendly please let me know and I can make arrangements! When dropping in for animals I make sure to love on them inside but also outside to get their energy out. For walks I let them stop and sniff for however long they like!

“Both my dog and I think Claire is the best! She was professional, prompt and a good communicator. And - she went above and beyond - giving Coltrane long walks and lots of attention. I totally recommend her and Coltrane gives her a big paws up, too!”

About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years. I quit for a little bit but now I am a stay at home mom and have a 4 1/2 year old golden who loves everyone and just wants some friends to play with. I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.

About: I have always had a love for pets! I got my latest dogther 5 years ago and she is a bundle of joy! Others may say I spoil her but I call it just loving her! ! All of my friends and family count on me to care for their pets while they are away and they know that they are in great hands and I will "spoil" their baby just as much as I do my own! I am a former Elementary school teacher. I’ve also worked with special needs children/adults. I am currently a life insurance broker and I work on my own schedule. Which will allow me to care for your pet anytime. I have a girl dog that is small, lovable, and will keep your fur baby company! I can also crate your dog if need be.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! I also have experience working in doggie daycare and with dog boarding (for all animals!) so I’m used to being around animals with all different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m honestly trying to be more open, I work full time daycare and boarding but I’m looking for more options in the animal field, I would like to have this experience and I just love caring for animals! I treat all baby’s like they’re my baby’s! I can walk, play or just cuddle all day. I care for pets like it’s a normal but fun routine taking care of all the basic of course!

About: Hi! I’ve been working in animal welfare for over ten years. I previously worked in a small boarding facility and also helped occasionally with a large scale open boarding facility! I have been working and training with dogs since I was 9y old (over twenty years of dog training and competing!). I currently train with my two german shepherds in dog sport now since 2015. I have a quiet household with no children and I only sit one family’s pets at a time. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like individuals and give them what they need then reach out to me! I’m well versed in working breeds, can help with training needs, and manage many different kinds of behavioral quirks in my house as well (from reactivity to resource guarding). I work full time currently and would love to provide boarding for dogs that will be safe, fun, and enjoyable! They will become like my own while at my house and treated with the utmost respect and care. I have a 4ft fenced yard for your dog to enjoy while staying with me and I never leave dogs unsupervised outside to their own devices. I also love to walk pups at the park up the street when I’m home! Dogs are kenneled while I’m not home as a safety measure or depending on the health/size of your dog I could potentially baby gate in the kitchen. I have a large dog pen as well for pups that aren’t destructive, but would like more space when I’m not home!

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.

About: Growing up, I’ve always had a strong love for animals. Free of charge, I would cat sit for my neighbors while they went on vacation, walk my friends dogs in my spare time, and additionally scroll for hours on end through sites that had dogs for adoption. When I turned 13 years old my parents finally gave in. I’ve now had my dog (Riley) for almost 8 years. We’ve gone through nearly 8 birthdays, 7 gotcha days, countless training sessions, and an endless amount of love. She fills my heart all while simultaneously filling my camera roll. To me, she’s worth the extra phone storage payment😅 I’m currently 3rd-year college student studying biology on the premedical track. Before and after my classes begin, I’ll have plenty of free time to care for your pup. Each walk, I will be equipped with various supplies ranging from poo bags and paw wipes to fetching toys and water bowls. For home visits, I’ll ensure that your dog receives ample love and attention. I’ll do my best avoid any deviation from their normal routine!

“Where to even begin with Sariah. She has been walking our boys for months now and we would be lost without her. Originally she started off walking our lab and terrier mix and they both absolutely adored her. Then we unexpectedly had to put our terrier down and she missed him just as much as we did. A month later we rescued our yorkie and she didn’t hesitate taking him on. He wasn’t leash trained, was scared and just over all a traumatized dog. She helped him walk on a leash, carried him when he needed to be carried and loved him through. We are devastated at her moving and not being able to care for our boys anymore. We always knew they were in good hands with her. Sariah thank you so much for taking care of our boys as we would and loving them. You will be missed dearly.”

About: I've worked in animal welfare & shelters since 2015. I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats with various personalities and needs. I personally own 3 dogs and several cats all at various ages. One of my cats is disabled- and I've owned and worked with dogs and cats that have special needs (seziures, CH, deaf, blind), take daily medications, and possess specific breed traits/personalities that can't make them difficult to manage. Currently work remote and have a large amount of flexibility in between travel for work. I can prov8de limited boarding in home- dogs must be able to coexhist with cats, be able to be crated and/or left in a single room unattended, and be respectful of baby gates. I do have a separate space for cats that is easier to manage. Current cats in the home do free roams but there is an entire space devoted to the dogs in the home. Can crate and rotate as needed and care for up to 2 dogs if everyone can get along. In your home I prefer to stick to as close of a routine that you provide them with- from their potty breaks to morning and evening walks. Staying as consistent as possible can help provide a relaxing trip for you and your pet.

“Thank you for taking the time to take him on his walk. He seems to love you a lot. He gets attached very easily to people. I saw the way he ran to the door when you came Tuesday. I will be utilizing your services once winter break is over. Thank you for taking care of him.”

I am very attuned to animal body language and can read behavioral cues very well. I help care for my family dog by letting her outside for potty breaks throughout the day as well as feeding 2 times a day. I also spend quality time with her in the form of playing and walks My first priority in my day is to make sure the pets' needs are met so that they may be comfortable while I continue my daily tasks throughout the day. Feeding times are at regular intervals.

“Autumn is great! She's flexible, caring and does a great job with our big guy. She has worked with our changing schedule and even checked in with us during our dogs surgery recovery. Absolutely do recommend her!”

About: I have over a year of experience dog sitting both drop in visits and overnight. I can adjust to any specific needs your pet may need including administering pills and most other medication. I take care of five of my beloved cats at home. They’re very spoiled so my routine involves cleaning their water fountain each week along with their litter robot whenever it needs to be emptied. I provide puzzle toys for enrichment and have even taught one of my cats a trick he does for his wet food dinner. When taking care of a families home I always make sure to leave things the same way they were when I arrived. Whether that being washing any dishes I used and remaking the bed so things are tidy when they return.

About: I've been working with and studying animal behavior since I was 10 years old, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger over the years.

I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play safely, and the property is equipped with cameras for added peace of mind. I’m committed to following any specific dietary needs or routines your dog may have, and I make sure they get their daily walks for both exercise and mental stimulation. If your pup needs regular brushing or combing, I’m happy to handle that too—keeping them clean, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.
