Dog Walking Pleasant Plain

“Karla is such a blessing :) She is very attentive to my 2 year old hound mix Olivia. She has allergies (food and environmental) and I don’t worry at all about her going on walks with Karla. I get home from work to a happy, tired puppy :) I highly recommend Karla!”

About: My husband Jeff and I have 2 dogs and no kids. Our dogs are our kids! Our dogs are about 2 years old and get along well with other dogs. Both of us grew up with dogs and have had dogs that are both young and senior. We give our dogs lots of time and attention. We are responsible pet owners and believe in keeping them healthy, loved, safe, and part of our pack! I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in). Our dogs are about 3 years old and get along well with other dogs. They love to play and are free to move in the house and the yard, and they get regular walks. Dogs are allowed on furniture. We would love to be your pet sitter while you are away, and you can be confident your doggie will be happy, safe and loved!

“Melanie was so friendly and really went above and beyond. Even in this brutally cold weather! I would call on her again when the opportunity arises. Thanks, Melanie!”

“Harper has been great for our golden retriever puppy, Maple! Thank you for walking Maple and being a trusted friend for her and our family. Much appreciated!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, lizards, and more, including the farm type! I have been doing this since I started to walk dogs around 13 years old. I have given medications, taken to appointments, and helped with simple early training. I've worked with week old puppies and kittens, to seniors who need extra attention. I'm ready to meet your expectations! I'm currently in school and only there 2 days a week! Besides those times, I have plenty of time to be a companion to your fur baby. Morning to night I can be there! In your home we'll follow what your pet is used to. Whether it's out in a fence, on a leash, in certain areas of the home or anything else. If they go to a park or get certain times of "freedom" I can do that too (if your fur baby is kept in an enclosure).

About: I have experience in training puppies and administering medication to older pups. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with breeds of all kinds! I work very part-time and am looking for something else to keep me busy during the summer when I'm home from school, so I am turning to my favorite passion, animals! I always follow instructions carefully, and prioritize the safety of your home and your pets above all else. I communicate effectively and will always be someone you can count on.

About: I've been around dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a love for animals. I have a dog of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. I've also cared for dogs for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'll treat every dog like they're part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I'm currently finishing my BSN through an online program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and many evenings, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I'm happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their schedules and make sure their pets receive the best care possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I strive to provide reliable, loving care that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Jennifer and Boomer are getting along great! She went above and beyond again this week with him as he's still a little puppy but he makes big messes!”

About: I am a full time pharmacist with a unique overnight schedule. I love all animals so I am looking for some jobs on the side caring for animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas and parakeets. I work third shift 7 days on and 7 days off so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I can make any schedule work. I have a non social bulldog so I am able to care for a cat or dog in your own home and could care for a smaller caged animal in my own.

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.

About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). (Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around . I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need) Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, lunch, then around 3-4pm, around/after dinner time, and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my kids, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/cat/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them ***Off leash free to run roam inside the house ***! Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!

About: I owned and loved my own AKC Standard Poodle when I was younger for her entire life. I have cared for various cats, a few Iguanas and many dogs. I also have encountered a variety of birds and reptiles. I cared for and loved two stray cats, eventually becoming my own cats, one of which I cared for through a major surgery. I also know how to ride and care for horses. As you can see I have experience with a large variety of animals. I would love to care for your beloved pet(s). My schedule is very flexible. Day or night, weekdays or weekends, I may be available. Please contact me with your sitting needs. I am excited to get to know your pet. To minimize the stress of your animal, I will care for your pet at your home. I find this to be in the best interest of your pet (s) as they are in their familiar surroundings, with their toys, beds and food.

About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.

About: I have been helping care for dogs since I was 10. I grew up with Dalmatians, dachshunds, black labs and Dobermans. To say I love dogs is an understatement. Our dachshund (16) recently passed away and my daughters and him were best friends! I am not ready to have a dog back in the house full time but have realized, after dog sitting for a friends and family’s dogs, this would be a great way to help care for others pets. My husband and I work from home so letting the dog out is no problem for us. While we do not have a fenced in yard, we do have a lead to let them out on and take frequent walks. We love to take dogs on hikes in the bike trails behind our house. Working from home enables us to make sure your doggy is well taken care of and loved on. We love walking dogs and playing fetch.

About: I’ve grown up in a multi-pet household and currently care for three dogs and a cat full-time, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From a young age, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals, including pet sitting for neighbors starting at 14. I have experience with a variety of feeding needs, including strict schedules, portion control, and working with food-motivated dogs (including using slow feeders when needed). I’ve also prepared homemade dog food, so I understand the importance of proper nutrition and consistency in a pet’s diet. I’m comfortable administering medications, including insulin, eye drops, and oral tablets, and I take care to follow instructions closely to ensure your pet’s health and safety. In addition, I regularly handle daily care tasks like walking dogs, cleaning up after them, and maintaining litter boxes. I’m used to keeping pets on a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and will always prioritize your pet’s well-being. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and plenty of updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible over the summer, as I’ll only be working part-time, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits throughout the day. In the fall, I’ll be starting graduate school, so my availability may be a bit more limited. However, I still plan to offer pet care and will keep my calendar updated to reflect my schedule. I’m happy to work with you to find times that meet your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs. I take safety seriously during walks and visits, ensuring pets are secure on leashes, aware of their surroundings, and kept away from potential hazards. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health and will communicate any concerns right away. Respecting your home is just as important to me as caring for your pet. I make sure to keep your space clean, lock doors and windows, and treat your home with the same care and responsibility as I would my own. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and photos so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have always loved getting to know their unique personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention, comfort, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a work-from-home mom, pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for visits, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having pets as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their families are away. I care for every pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual routine. In my home, pets have access to an unfenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of room to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pet comfortable in their familiar environment.
