Dog Walking Primrose

About: I have experience with all types of cats and dogs ! Earlier this year I had to put down my 18 year old lab who I have had since I was 2. Seniors hold a very special place in my heart. I currently have a 2 year old Australian shepherd who absolutely adores other animals. I have worked with Shih Tzus , poodles , American bull dogs , Great Danes and Rottweilers I am currently a stay at home mom so your pets will never be left unattended! We spend ALOT of time playing in the yard so your fur babies will have lots of time to run around. I have a fenced in yard and I have a friendly dog and 3 cats ! I have the ability to crate train your pets if that’s needed as well.

About: I have both the education and the experience to take excellent care of your pet! I have a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, but more importantly I have the lifelong love and experience for pet care. I have taken care of a wide variety of animals, including but not limited to dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish. I have had a dog at home for my entire life, and I have personally kept reptiles and fish as pets. I am able to administer medication as needed or other medical tasks like cleaning ears or wounds. I would love to meet your pet and give them the best experience while you’re away. My schedule is currently open to whatever your needs are! I would love to take on some drop-ins or get outside with your pup and stretch our legs!

“This was our second time having Gary help us out, and he even accommodated a same-day request! He’s reliable and communicates well. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in good hands. We’re so grateful for his help and highly recommend him!”

Petra family members I will take care of yours as an extension of my own family For the taking care of pets in my home, or at the owners home, whatever the rules and regulations are per the homeowner are the rules that I go by

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up with my first dog, a Pit Bull and Chocolate Lab mix, who was with me from birth until I was 16. I helped care for her throughout her life and developed a really special bond with her. I also have a new dog who is mostly Pit Bull, and I take care of him regularly. I’ve also cared for friends dogs and currently walk a Golden Retriever multiple times a week throughout the summer. I’m comfortable with different personalities and love building a genuine connection with every dog I meet. I’m currently a student but have a pretty flexible schedule where I have much free time during the week and full availability on the weekends. I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’m very attentive and make sure pets get the care, attention and love they need. I also treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own.

“Marissa is fantastic! Our fur baby instantly loved her. I would recommend her for dog walking.”

I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while in my care. I’m currently studying Veterinary Technology and I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid. I know every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s usual routine.

“Genesis is amazing! Came through last minute to walk my Sophie and Leo, as I am recovering from surgery. Even walked them in the RAIN. Absolutely recommend her. .”

“Xavier is responsible and communicative and always on time. Our dog, Reggie loves Xavier and does so much better on the days when Xavier comes to walk him. Xavier goes above and beyond by making sure the puppy mess is picked up at our house before he leaves. I highly recommend Xavier for your pet.”

About: As a pet owner myself, I value honest and reliable care, not only for owners, but the animals themselves. I have experience providing care for a diverse set of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals. I aim to build trust with those for whom I provide care. I am comfortable with administering medication and attending to specific needs. Most importantly, I treat others pets with the same love and attentiveness as I do my own. I work full-time during the week, though I have more flexibility on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I work from home. I am available for drop-in visits any day of the week. I work with my clients to meet their needs and go out of my way to do so. When providing care in an owner’s home, I aim to leave pets and the home in a state that the owner would be happy to return to. I respect the boundaries of owners and pets alike so that I can build a relationship of trust, communication, and reliability. I hope to show my dedication to proper pet care through my actions.

About: My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, etc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover. In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10. I am comfortable with all dogs puppies to seniors, small to large! I am reliable and truly love dogs I am available after 3:30/4 on weekdays and have flexible weekend schedules! I would love to try to work with what you and your dog need! I prefer to meet before booking so everyone is more comfortable. I can walk dogs, play with dogs inside or outside. I do not take other dogs to my own home as I have my own dog.

About: I’ve done dog sitting and walking in the past. I’ve also worked with grooming dogs. And I grew up with horses. I don’t usually shy away from much. I have administrated medicine for a diabetic cat as well. I believe animals are our family and I will love them as you do as well. I have three kids and they will be with me at times. They all love animals and help with the animals we have at home. I have a decent amount of knowledge about animals and feel comfortable having them in my home as well. What separates me from other walkers or boarding? Not sure I could answer that. I’ll always be honest and informative with you about your animals. Look forward to meeting and caring for you and your animals needs.

“Annemarie was amazing! So great with Jonah and just such a kind warm person in general!”

About: I have had a love for dogs ever since I was a child. My family got our first when I was 5 and since then we have had three others that we have adopted as well. With those dogs obviously came a lot of taking care of them, as well as playing with them. Along with my own dogs, I have also volunteered/worked at an animal shelter for around 2 years, where I would take the dogs out each day, give them food and water, and play with them until they hopefully found a forever home. While working at the shelter, I also fell in love with some of the dogs so I fostered around 25 of the dogs during my time at the shelter until they found a family. I am currently just working here and there for my dad while I am home for the summer, so I am available to take in your dog whenever. I have no set schedule with any other work, so whenever I’m needed, I will be there. I have a very large backyard for your dog to run around in, and two extremely friendly dogs who would love to meet new friends. I also am very used to crating dogs because of working at the shelter so if that is what your dog needs then consider it done.

About: I am a lifelong dog parent with two wonderful rescues. I am first aid and CPR certified, can administer medication and have been certified for small animal (cats and dogs) massage and canine behavior. Exercise and stimulation are important to ensure dogs do not become bored and destructive or depressed. No two dogs are the same. One of my dogs loves to run while the other loves to swim! I have experience with my own and working with other reactive animals so you can trust me with your pets, whatever their personality may be. What one enjoys, another may not so I need to understand how your dog interacts with humans and other animals and how they play. I look forward to caring for your dog! My work schedule is dynamic and we can discuss your needs and how they fit with my life at the time you want to schedule. I have a fully fenced yard if you choose to have your pet stay with me. If you prefer to have your pet stay at home where they are more comfortable, I would want to understand how well they recall or how they stay safe in your home.

“Melissa is awesome! She bonded quickly with our puppy - she fed him and brought him on his daily afternoon walk.”
