Dog Walking Pikeville

About: Hi pet parents!! My name is Abby and I started my Rover business because I absolutely adore animals! I’ve never met a dog or cat that I didn’t fall in love with 😆 I have two kitties of my own, Taco and Seven, who I love so much! I don’t have my own doggo (yet lol), but that leaves me plenty of time to come take care of your pup or kitty! I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. My husband often comes with me to Rover meetings, so your animals get two sitters for the price of one! We love to play fetch, and give so many pets! I always send lots of pictures and updates, as I know that is what I’d want for my own kitties. If you need a sitter, please reach out and we can set up a meeting! Looking forward to meeting your sweet babies! 🐾 I work remotely, so I have time to stop by throughout the day to feed and play with your dog or cat. I also get off of work at 4, so after that I’m available to stay longer. If you’re comfortable with me working at your home, I could stay with your pet as long as you’d like! I will make sure to provide your pet with the best care possible. This includes plenty of pets, play time, feedings, treats, and whatever else I can do to make your pet comfortable!

“I am so pleased with Delvin. He is timely, professional and most of all excellent with Grover. As soon as Grover hears him drive up, he goes to the door eagerly ready to go on their walk. Since Delvin has been walking Grover, he is much calmer and listens to commands much, much better!!! I think my decision to hire a dog walker is the best decision I ever made. Now I am able to keep my dog that I love dearly, and also Grover can get the proper exercise he needs to stay strong and healthy. And Delvin has far exceeded my expectations.”

About: I was in the Air Force for 14 years and cared for many of my friends dogs and cats while they were on deployments and other work trips. I love having furry friends to come home to! While I have no formal training on it I do love working with dogs on training basic skills. Any work I do is from home. I am available all day to walk and play with your baby. I also enjoy running if your dog needs more activity. I only allow cats because my dog absolutely loves cats. The only dogs I allow in the house are ones she knows and trusts. I have tons of space in the house if your cat would prefer it’s own area.

“Always a trusted sitter!”

About: I've been a pet parent since 2008 and have quite a bit of experience with unique pet health situations and ages. I've had a cat with diabetes requiring 2x a day insulin injections (vetsulin). I am able to dose and administer if need be. I also have had experience caring for a senior dog who required 5 meds daily (2x/day) incl thyroid medicine, gabapentin, piroxicam, omiprazole, and CBD. He had thyroid condition, arthritis, and Transitional Cell Carcinoma (bladder cancer). Lately I've been learning to be a puppy mom! We got Moki at 8 months old in 2020 and now Nova at 3 months old! I'm a self-employed web designer and I am looking for occasional house & pet sitting opportunities where I can work from your place to eliminate the distractions at my own home! All animals I've cared for are rescues ❤️ I love pitties and believe pets are family. I'm self employed and generally available for overnights during the week. With advance notice I can also be available for more extended periods if you want to take a vacation or trip. Weekends are less flexible as my husband is an RV technician who works on weekends and my daughter is home from school. We can talk though and see how we can make it work I care for pets in their home. I am happy to walk your pets on leash, let them run around your fenced yard, sleep in a crate, or sleep in a bed. I believe pets are family and I'm happy to keep your regular routine as much as possible

About: I’ve cared for animals for years and currently have 6 cats and 1 dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling a variety of personalities and needs. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, cleaning up, and giving them attention and playtime. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

I’m reliable and can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise. My dog can be a bit jealous around other animals, so for safety I’m most comfortable providing care in the client’s home, as well as walks and drop-in visits. I always follow instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs and behavior, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also open to overnight stays and prefer to meet beforehand to build trust and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.

About: Growing up I always wanted a pet for my own and I finally got my first puppy at 10 yrs old. I really think that helped me be responsible. And have so much love for pets I take of my pets like if they were my children. Whenever I have free time I like to help others with there pets. I don’t have a job right now so I can work any hours of the week. Full time would be much better, and preferred I have a flexible schedule. I try to build trust with people pets if they seem uncomfortable I try my best to get them out of their shell but I won’t force them to do anything they don’t want to

About: I’ve worked with animals ever since I was 15. I would take care of my neighbors, friends, and clients dogs or cats. Use to work at an animal hospital and also a boarding/daycare facility. I learned from working there how to administer medications. At the moment I have a very flexible schedule therefore providing lots of options for you and your furry family members! I have always had a deep passion for animals! I have a dog and a cat at home that I adore. Both my babies are rescue pets. I enjoy working with both my dog and my cat on training them to do new things.

About: I've been around and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I still help care for my family's pets and also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I also grew up near neighbors who fostered dogs and puppies, and I loved spending time helping socialize and play with their foster puppies. This gave me experience being around puppies of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, puppy care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same kindness and attention I'd want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, as well as many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and pet care into my routine is something I'd genuinely enjoy! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated (with lots of pictures if needed!) while you're away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi there! I grew up surrounded by animals, so taking care of pets comes naturally to me. From dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship, I understand the unique needs of each pet and always provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet will be in great hands with me, whether it's a relaxing cuddle session or an active playtime adventure! I’m excited to offer reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitting services. Let me help take the stress out of leaving your pet behind – they'll be in good hands! I work 9-6 M-F with an hour lunch break. I live in very close proximity to my job, so easy for me to drop in. I don’t have a yard, but my complex has a dog park. The neighborhood is full of pets and everyone’s friendly. I love going on walks so that’s something we will do. I love to play with animals. I don’t mind sleeping with animals, or them being on furniture. I do keep my home clean & sanitized.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.

About: I have taken care of my family's dogs for all of my life. I have experience with dogs of all different breeds, tempers, and sizes. Many have relied on me to take care of their pet, both short term and long term. I am available on weekends and Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays all day, so I will definitely have time for your pet. I plan on making sure they are happy. I love taking long walks and hiking so your dog will not have lots of time to play outside. I have dog toys in my own home if they stay with me and love giving dogs cuddles.

About: I first started housesitting and pet sitting with the Rover app in 2020. I am comfortable and confident working with all sizes of dogs due to the wide variety of pets I cared for in Florida as well as Nebraska! A few of the services I provided were, dog walking, light dog grooming, basic gardening and housekeeping tasks. In one special case I cared for a miniature schnauzer with diabetes, I made sure his blood sugar was regular and gave him his insulin shot when needed. Like multiple other animals I’ve cared for I can follow their special diets if needed.. I’d love the opportunity to take of your pets and see what your city has to offer. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so I will have lots of extra time to play with your pets! I also plan on taking multiple walks throughout the day. I will be sure to maintain a safe environment for your pets while you are away! I will stick to their regular routines to help them feel safe and comfortable.
