About: Instagram— stays_with_rose . Growing up I had many outdoor dogs and cats, one indoor dog being a senior pug. Once I separated from the military I got my first indoor cat, a medium hair American Tabby. Then a couple years ago I adopted a puppy and signed him up for training classes however due to COVID, those classes got canceled and I did all the training myself. It was a blessing though because after doing so much research, not only did I learn how to train a dog, but I also learned behavioral signs and can apply that knowledge to other dogs in the community. I am not a licensed trainer but can share what I learned if asked. I have been watching other dogs (family and friends) since I was in high school and into adulthood dealing with many different breeds and medical issues. I do love all animals though and am willing to watch more than just dogs and cats if requested. PLEASE READ ABOUT MY SCHEDULE **PLEASE READ** I work full time, if you're needing your pup or cat watched during the week then you must know I won't be home full time. Because I work full time, your pet will most likely be kenneled during that time unless they are nondestructive and can be left free in the house. I walk my dog and other clients dogs at least once every day and we have a few hours of playtime as well. On weekends, my time is devoted the animals, we go on at least 2 walks daily and play on and off throughout the day. Walks: Weekdays I can provide a walk when I'm off work at 430pm and on the Weekends I can provide walks usually at any time depending on other clients. Drop In Visits: Weekends: any time, M-F: 630-730am or 5-530pm or later While I do not have a fenced in yard, I do have a lead that my dogs get hooked up to and they get taken for many walks. I do not use chemicals in my yard or have toxic plants in the area. I have a second living room that has all the dogs toys and kennels. Pets are allowed on the furniture in my home and would most likely sleep in the bedroom. My dog sleeps on my bed but I know not all dogs like that so I do have a dog bed in my bedroom as an option as well. Cats have their own bedroom. Cats tend to be very picky about their environment, so my spare bedroom has been transformed into a cat room. I have scratching posts or cat trees throughout my home to offer the cats options. I understand how stressful it can be leaving your loved pet with others, and I understand how expensive it can be as well. I'm open to negotiations if you're in a tight spot.
About: I’ve worked as a veterinary nurse for 10 years and have worked with every size, age and energy level of dog and cat. I’m well versed in walking, bathing, potty training, and mind enrichment exercises, as well as multiple behavioral and medical conditions. I love caring for animals and have 2 cats and a dog, Siberian Husky, who needs a lot of activity and are spoiled daily. I know how to give medication, if needed, and how to deal with emergency situations. I can send pictures and videos daily to keep you updated. Your beloved furry family members will be well taken care of! I am available most days for the summer and can do morning, afternoon, and evening care. You can message me for further questions about scheduling. Let me know your pets daily routine they are used to, so I can stick as closely as possible to it to help them keep as much normalcy to their days as possible.
About: Thanks for stopping by. We're so glad you're here. We look forward to meeting you and your beloved animal. I have 30+ years of experience caring for pets. My teen has studied vet tech and will help me care for your pet. So you will get our services as a 2 for 1. I am home all day and we will ensure your pet gets lots of play time, outdoor time and of course, snuggles. I am home all day. Your pet will be taken outside very often, at least every 2 hours so they will receive lots of exercise and play time. All pets will be treated like they are a part of our family. They will receive whatever care is most beneficial for them based upon their owner's wishes and the pet's needs.
“Meredith did such a good job at taking care of my pup. I am very happy with her and I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a sitter/walker”
About: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. Otherwise I currently work in the community Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5, though I'm able to step away for any walks, drop-ins, or play times needed! Please reach out with any scheduling requests and I'll do my best to accommodate for you! I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.
“I had a great experience with this dog walker! They were incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog Max, who’s 11 years old and moves at his own pace. It was clear they really cared—after the walk, they made sure Max had water and was comfortable before leaving. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and gentle with older dogs.”
“Milo is very good with Lexi and Lexi looks forward to her walks. I’m so happy Milo agreed to take on Lexi.”
“Obie loves AJ! So grateful to have her walk my anxious baby!”
“Taylor was wonderful with Dulce! Always on time and professional. I highly recommend her services and will use again! Hermalene Cadena”
“Esther is an excellent dog walker! She is thoughtful, respectful and loves our dog. We are very pleased with her and will continue to use her services.”
“Masha is a great dog walker. Great with humans (reliable, punctual, and polite) and great with dogs (affectionate, and conscious of their needs, but firm when necessary). She walked my daughter’s dog for a month, while my daughter was recovering from a car crash. We would definitely call her again.”
“My dog immediately loved Jenny. She is always on time and sends great pictures. Your pets will love Jenny too.”
“We are on a road trip and needed some help while we attended a football game! I contacted Kathryn pretty late and she was so willing to help with my Labrador! She’s a bit anxious and Kathryn made her feel calm and took her for a nice walk. Thank you so much Kathryn! You rock!”
About: I have had all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, hamsters and bunnies. I see them as the family members. I’m currently working part time, so I am very flexible. I can do drop-in visits of 30min or more. I can work around your schedule. Im leaving in an apartment with my two lovely cats. I will be happy to do drop-in visits at your place for the safety of everyone.
About: I dog sat for many people in my town during all years of high school and first two years of college! I moved farther away from home and would love to meet new furry friends! My weekends are completely open and my Tuesdays and Thursdays only have one two hour lab working with animals! Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays I have more classes but I have breaks in between where I could check in on pets! I always understand that each situation and animal is different so I always ask that the owner tell me exactly how they care for the animal and want me to care for them. For instance, I’ve had clients with elderly dogs on multiple medications needing a chill and very safe environment from other animals, and I’ve had other clients where their animal roams throughout the house all day and their cat comes in and out! Both are completely fine I just like to know what the animals are used to!
“Andrea was great with my dogs and so attentive! She walked all three of them together, no small task, and they went a pretty long way. She told me they behaved, so either she got them all to listen well or she is very kind, either way a good sign. She was responsive to my texts and had great availability, I felt totally comfortable with her taking care of them. In fact, I booked her again for this weekend! I would definitely recommend Andrea!”
About: I come from a dog family where there are always a few furry friends running around. I began dog/cat sitting for neighbors when I was young and love that I’ve been able to take care of so many pets of all different sizes. I’ve taken care of bigger dogs like huskies, medium golden doodles, and small terriers or yorkies! I am currently studying at University which gives me a less rigid schedule than someone working a 9-5. My class breaks give me the perfect opportunity to take the time to know your pet and give them some exercise and engagement! I think it’s important that your pet feels familiar and comfortable with me and so I typically advocate for a meeting with you the owner there before I dog sit to make sure your pet can adjust easier.
About: I’m 21 and have had pets all my life. From dogs to cats to fish. I loved growing up with pets! Recently I started dog sitting for a family friend’s friend. Started off as a weekend, now they call me everything they go out of town I’m currently working full-time. I’m fully available on the weekends. I’m available in the mornings and evenings the most, but if I’m needed in the afternoon, I am always available on my lunch break! I’m a pet lover! I love pets of all kinds (except for snakes😂). I’ve always had family pets, but I just moved out and got my very own kitten. I play with her all the time and even give her play dates every once and a while
“Kierstyn did a wonderful job with the pups. Even with the age gap of one puppy and one adult she managed to balance what they needed. Both are sleeping like a charm tonight. Highly recommended!!”
