Dog Walking Pilot Point

About: Most of my pet-care experience comes from being a pet owner, along with helping family and friends with their dogs when they needed someone they could trust. I’ve cared for dogs with anxiety and stranger-danger issues, including two dogs who needed a little extra patience and time to become comfortable with me. That experience taught me that not every dog is going to immediately run up and say hello—and that’s okay. I don’t force interaction or expect every pet to warm up on my timeline. I let them set the pace. I’m comfortable following a pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and whatever little routines make them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also very big on communication with their people, because I know how much easier it is to relax when you know your pet is doing okay. What probably sets me apart most is that I’m not looking at this as simply stopping by to complete a list of tasks. I genuinely care about how the pet is feeling while their person is away. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—and for you to feel like you left them with someone you can trust. Pet care fits nicely into my routine because I’m intentionally keeping my schedule flexible so I can be available during the day when pets may need someone to check in on them. I currently have availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, and I’ll only accept bookings that I know I can reliably commit to. I don’t want to overbook myself or leave a pet waiting longer than expected. I’m also a big believer in communicating clearly ahead of time about schedules, routines, and what your pet needs. If I agree to care for your pet, I want you to be able to count on me. For now, I’m only accepting bookings where I care for pets in their own home. I want them to be able to stay in the environment they’re already comfortable and familiar with, rather than adding the stress of going somewhere new. Before a booking, I’ll make sure I understand your pet’s routine, any quirks or behaviors I should know about, feeding instructions, medications if applicable, where supplies are located, and what to do if something unexpected comes up. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your instructions, and keep your pet’s safety my first priority. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during visits. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and giving them access to your home—is a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable knowing exactly how things are going while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have three dogs of my own, including a senior, plus my cat Mila. My baby Sophie passed away in 2023. She shaped who I am today. I’ve also cared for rabbits, turtles, birds, shy pets, senior pets, and reactive animals. I’m patient, calm, and gentle, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. Between my own dogs, rabbits, and turtle, my days revolve around feeding, walks, cleaning, and spending time with them. I naturally plan my schedule around pets’ needs, so welcoming another pet into that routine feels easy and familiar. I love providing calm, consistent care that helps animals feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I keep a calm, clean, and comfortable environment so pets feel safe and relaxed. I follow routines closely, supervise interactions, and make sure feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning are always handled properly. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions carefully. Whether it’s medications, specific routines, or helping a shy pet feel at ease, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved

“Had a very last minute booking and Madison was very flexible and awesome in coordinating everything. She was great with my pup Milo and was awesome with her communication. Will be booking again for sure!”

About: I've been responsible for an animal since I turned old enough to fill up a bowl of kibble. My mom is a veterinarian and taught me how to make sure critters of all kinds were well cared for. Im currently continuing my education part-time, mornings from 9am to 2pm. Before and after class I try to be as active as possible, and it would be a pleasure to fit your pet's care into that time! I can provide either efficient in/out cleaning and feeding, or spend more quality time with your pet to ensure they're exercised and happy while youre away. For walking service, I'll happily plan a route that fits your pet's stamina and breed, or you can suggest one that you regularly follow!

About: I am a friendly, consistent, and flexible pet care provider, with years of experience. I grew up with a lovable family dog, and I'm absolutely at home anywhere there are animals. As I strive to do pet care full time, I do my best to be flexible and accommodating with families who have emergencies, and reliable and consistent with those who need regular sitters or walkers. I follow your pet's personality: will walk them if they're energetic, chill with them if they're lazy, play with them if they're frisky. I know that every pet is unique, so l'm always excited to learn how to care for each new one! I am available anytime, any day! If there are instances when you need me to drop by unexpectedly, I will do my best to accommodate so your pet gets the attention they deserve. My motto has always been to give my dog the best life I can. I am happy to learn what that means for your pet in your home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to seniors needing patience and structure. Dogs have always been there for me, and my care reflects that same unconditional love through calm, purposeful, reliable support. My daily routine already includes caring for four dogs and several other animals. Because animal care is part of my everyday life, I always have time left to give your pets calm, reliable attention. Safety and trust are at the center of my care. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and treat your home with the same respect and attention I give my own animals.

About: I started doing this because I wanted people to have someone they can trust with their furry family members. I love this work and prioritize pet care above all else. There are home photos available on my profile if you are looking into boarding. I am also very understanding of pets that need time to get comfortable and adjust. I’m very good at making fast friends with timid pets by giving them a little bit of space but letting them quickly see i am a friend. Currently, my schedule is completely open and I am only doing pet care. I like to stay on the let’s schedule, if they have one. I have a large back yard and live in a beautiful, safe, small neighborhood that’s great for walks. No main roads. Safely is my top priority. I never miss a medication schedule, I’m fast with doors, great with leash control, and on walks I am prepared for if we’re to ever encounter a dog attack (which has only happened once in my 13 years, and the dogs were all okay). But I do not mess around when it comes to the comfort and safety of the animals in my care. When boarding, there will be nothing a can dog can reach to each, all cabinets / chemicals / food are out of reach for pets of sizes and levels of intelligence lol… my sister I lived with has a very mischievous and smart labradoodle so we learned allllll the tricks.

About: i’ve taken care of dogs for a while i also have a lot of dogs myself growing up i love to be around them they are cute i am not working right now so trying to make some money while looking for jobs i have a lot of time to walk or watch ur dogs i have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that love to play and make friends i can also keep them separate if need to be

“Ashley is very good with dogs and it didn't take more than a second to see Gunner's positive and friendly reaction when he met her. Your pet will be taken good care of from this Rover provider!! Ashley also was a last minute substitution due to my May 4th surgery being bumped up sooner to April 27th, and another Rover provider unable to be in town April 27-28. We really appreciate Ashley for being there for us this week!!”

About: I have raised dogs all of my life and I am a huge animal lover. Each animal I have had have always been rescues. I strongly believe in TLC for all pets. When you're away from home I will give all the love and pets to your furry friend. I love to walk dogs as it benefits both parties. Play time is incredibly important too. Without play time a pet can become restless and bored. I thoroughly enjoy playing fetch with dogs. I am promptly on time with potty breaks, feeding time, and any walking needs. Any request great or small will be done. I currently have a 11 year old male cat I raised from a kitten so I know cat's very well also. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate any and all pet needs a client may have. I do well with a detailed potty and feeding schedule. I send updates and pictures accordingly with feeding times and follow written instructions very well. I make sure family pets are kept to a standard routine so they feel right at home.

About: Ive been caring for dogs for 6+ years and genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet! I’m very patient and attentive, and I adapt to each dog’s personality. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra comfort. I’ve helped with everything fro daily walks to feeding, bathing, and just being a calm, safe presence. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel secure, loved, and understood. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks, and check ins throughout the day. I plan my time carefully so each pet gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and keep everything clean while sticking closely to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and supervision.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my lifelong dedication to giving every dog the same love, patience, and understanding I give my own. Before moving here, I was a foster mom for dogs in Puerto Rico and a proud member of OICA (Organization for the Welfare of Animals). During that time, I cared for dogs of all kinds — from shy rescues learning to trust again to energetic pups eager to explore the world. That experience taught me how to read their personalities, ease their fears, and make them feel safe and loved. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care and know how to provide comfort and gentle support for older pups who need a slower pace. My own dog, Channel, is a joyful, friendly companion who loves meeting new friends and helps visiting dogs feel right at home. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my family. I provide reliable, attentive care and always make sure each dog gets the affection, playtime, and structure they need. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure your furry loved one feels safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. 🐾💛 As a retired animal lover, I’m fortunate to have the time and flexibility to dedicate my days to caring for pets. My schedule revolves around making sure the animals I look after are happy, comfortable, and well cared for — never the other way around. Because I’m home most of the day, I can provide plenty of personal attention, consistent routines, and companionship. Morning walks, playtime in the yard, and quiet cuddle moments are a regular part of my day. I also enjoy keeping a calm, peaceful environment that helps pets feel relaxed and at ease, especially those who might be anxious or adjusting to a new space. Being retired also means I’m never rushed — I can take the time each pet deserves. Whether it’s giving a senior dog extra care, keeping up with an energetic pup, or spending quality time with a cat who loves company, pet care isn’t just part of my day — it’s what brings joy and purpose to it. 🐾❤️ I care for every pet in my home with love, patience, and attention, just as I would my own. Animals are never just guests — they become part of the family while they’re here. My home has a nice yard fenced yard with a covered patio, perfect for playtime, lounging, or a little sunbathing for dogs who enjoy soaking up the sun. I always keep a close eye on them to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Inside, pets stay with me at all times — they’re never left alone or kept apart. Whether we’re relaxing in the living room, playing, or simply enjoying quiet time together, they’ll always have company and care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and right at home from the moment they arrive. 🐾❤️

About: I have two large breed dogs, and I can train dogs to do basic commands. I have taken care of animals ranging from rabbits and goats to horses. I have much experience with senior cats. I have cared for a cat for 17 years who was blind, and I just had to put down my 15 yr old cat due to thyroid issues for which I gave her meds twice a day. I have also bottle fed baby animals and had to assist one of my dogs when she had a litter of 11 puppies, which I cared for on my own. My only job right now is caring for my two dogs and my cat! So I have plenty of time to pet sit and or walk pets. I will care for the pets in my client's home according to their exact specifications. I can't bring other animals into my home as I already have 3 pets.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, I fostered 12 puppies a couple years ago and have always had at least 3 dogs. My dream career is to be a Veterinarian and own a non-profit animal rescue. My friends have trusted me to come by and care of their dogs when away on vacation, but this would be my first time pet-sitting for Rover! SIDE NOTE (PLEASE READ): I will not be walking any dogs in 95+ degree weather without some sort of protection for their little paws. Protection and comfort is top priority!! I wish I had more photos but I tend to focus more on the animals than to get my phone out and take photos prior to Rover so my collection is small but i’ll be adding to it!) I do have a part-time job but it’s very flexible, and I will be able to adjust to your needs and personal schedules. I can assure any potential pet owners who are interested in my care for your dog or cat that they will be prioritized. I will not be doing any pet-sitting at my own house because I do own a reactive dog and one who’s a bit older, but they have a fenced yard with water accessible 24/7, home-cooked rice and chicken twice a week (they’re spoiled) a friends ranch nearby they go to for running and walks, and a toy box with all the toys they could dream of.

About: Hi! My name is Lex, and I've been pet sitting since I was 19 years old. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's personality. I've been lucky enough to have some of the same clients for over three years, which means a lot to me because it shows the trust we've built. I've also volunteered working with animals, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of pets, different temperaments, and different care needs. Big dogs, little dogs, cats, senior pets, shy pets, energetic pets—it doesn't matter to me. I honestly love them all! I'm currently in nursing school, so being responsible, patient, and paying attention to the little details comes naturally to me. Right now, I have a flexible schedule and open availability, so I'm happy to work around what you and your pet need. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone else, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and affection. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm currently in nursing school, which gives me a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping pets company. I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're already used to because I know that helps them feel the most comfortable. Whether I'm in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, give them plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles (depending on what they enjoy), and make sure they get lots of attention. I'm happy to give medications if needed, clean litter boxes, pick up after dogs, and keep everything clean and tidy. I also like to send photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as stress-free as possible until you're back home.

About: I treat every dog like they're my own; patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. I'm reliable and communicative, so you'll always know how your pup is doing while you're away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I take the time to learn each dog's individual routine and quirks rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Weekends are when I'm fully available and focused on pet care; no rushing between other commitments. That means consistent walk times, unhurried playtime, and someone who's actually present rather than checking the clock. If you need reliable dog walks or drop-in visits, that's exactly the window I keep open." For drop-in visits, I follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible which includes feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you leave, so there's minimal disruption while you're away. I always do a quick check of food/water and make sure the home is secure before I leave. For walks, I go at your dog's pace rather than rushing, and I'm attentive to their comfort, always checking for signs of overheating, giving water breaks, and using leash/collar setups you're comfortable with. I keep you updated with the Rover app so you know how each visit went

About: Hi! I’m Ross—a full-time teacher, lifelong animal lover, and part-time pet care provider. I've had dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and respect. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy senior cat, I take the time to understand their needs and help them feel safe and loved. As a teacher, I bring structure, responsibility, and calm to every interaction—traits that pets naturally respond to. I'm also a musician, which I think helps me stay relaxed and present (and I’ve been known to sing a tune or two on dog walks!). Whether you're looking for someone to walk, sit, or simply check in on your pet, I treat every animal like family. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and help them feel comfortable while you’re away! As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is wide open and very flexible! I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need regular care or a last-minute booking, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet is well cared for. As a full-time teacher and lifelong pet parent, safety and trust are at the heart of everything I do. I create a calm, patient environment where animals feel secure and cared for whether they’re staying in their own home or out on a walk with me. I understand how important routines, consistency, and gentle communication are for pets, and I take the responsibility of their care seriously. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal with the same kindness and attentiveness I give my own.

About: I have 3 years of experience working in an animal shelter, where I was lucky enough to care for animals of all kinds. I am familiar with the necessary care needed for pets of all ages, from baby to senior. I am practiced in giving medication and basic grooming/ maintenance, as well as having worked with trainers in the past though I am not credentialed. Due to my history, I am also experienced working with animals with behavioural issues and am not intimidated by the size of a pet. I am currently between jobs and, therefore, am able to move around my schedule at will. I have a reliable form of transportation that allows me to be wherever you need me to be when you need me to be there. My apartment is not large enough, nor would the complex allow me to, house animals not already on my lease, but I am physically capable of taking dogs out multiple times per day on walks (duration depends on the heat). I play with my own animals multiple times a day for at least 20 minutes each, so rest assured your cats will also get the exercise they deserve. I will go above and beyond for your pets simply because I believe they deserve it.

About: I'm a genuine believer that we don't deserve the love our pets give us. It's so pure and they give it without any conditions. For all the love and joy they bring to our world, we owe it to them to repay that love however we can. Whether it's throwing a ball in the backyard, taking a nice long walk or just giving nonstop scritches behind the ears while watching tv on the couch...our pets deserve to feel all the love back in return. Life is busy for everyone, and even those of us with the world's best intentions of taking that walk or throwing that ball after work often find that finding that time and energy can be tough. Let me help stand in that gap and give your furry (or feathered) family members that extra TLC on your behalf. I am very flexible and am able to accommodate most schedules for walks, play time, drop in visits, brushing, and whatever else your pet might need. I provide all the love and services in your pet's home, where they are most comfortable. Your pet will receive lots of one-on-one attention and play time - whether inside or out. I will be certain that your pet is fed, watered, litterbox is cleaned and fur is brushed. My job is to make sure that you come home to a happy pet!
