Dog Walking Riley

About: I've had my own pets since I was a child (0ver 40 years) and have also fostered dogs through capital area humane society for years. I currently walk an older couples dog weekly to ensure she gets out and some exercise each week. I work from home and can take multiple breaks to walk away throughout the day. I love being outdoors and going for walks in any type of weather. Rain is something I try to avoid. I am free to work remotely from any location if you happen to need a pet sitter in home or multiple check ins throughout a specific time period.

“Super understanding about my highly anxious senior dog. Looking forward to having her walk with him more”

About: I've been caring for dogs my entire highschool career and I'm keeping it going while I'm in college. I have cared for big, small, older, and special need dogs. I can handle any challenge the pet may bring. I grew up with cats, dogs, fishes, and Axolotls, always at least 4 animals in the house at one time! I'm at school from 8:10am-11:30am On Monday-Thursday with plenty of time for check ins morning, afternoon, and evening. I am often busy on Fridays during the spring and fall but my weekends are completely open! I am familiar with care for all types of dogs and their quirks, I give frequent walks, make sure food and water is available, and play with them. I like to provide as much comfort as I can to pets that miss their owners.

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

About: I've cared for a variety of pets and livestock my entire life, including medical care. Additionally, I have spent time and am passionate about working with and training dogs. My Aussie-Collie is a high energy and intelligent guy, so I'm used to working with higher-drive dogs. Prices may be subject to discount depending on location. If you are looking for livestock care, I have a history working with horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, poultry, etc. Availability on an hourly basis may change, once an appointment is requested, we can message regarding details. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am generally unavailable for Drop-Ins and Dog Walks after 1:00 pm. Wednesdays I am generally unavailable for Drop-Ins and Dog Walks after 5:00 pm. I am currently an online, asynchronous student, so my schedule is very flexible. This means that I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard, and gates through the house to ensure that spaces can be portioned off if needed. I also have experience monitoring the health of pets, livestock, and laboratory animals.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a small child! I am an animal lover! I am patient and kind to them! I can’t wait to meet your sweet animal! I do not work a job. I do have two teenagers and happily married so sometimes I might be busy, but typically I’m usually available! I have one cat that is inside. He is an orange Tabby and his name is Whiskey! I also have a black golden doodle puppy! He is 6 months old and his name is Chewy! We have 7 1/2 acres that he loves to run around on! ** if I am already at your place to dog sit, there will be an additional charge if you add another dog last minute.**

About: I have owned and taken care of others’ dogs from a very young age, and have experience with most breeds of dogs. My passion is making your pet feel comfortable and happy during the time you are away, or during our walks. I am happy to administer medication, do special chores or anything else that needs to be done while you are not at home. I currently work part time, and schedule my own hours, so I am available for you based on what needs you have, with enough notice. I have one dog, Husky mix, and she is familiar with other dogs. We love to go on walks and trips to the dog park!

“Emily helped us out taking care of our dog very last minute. We also appreciated her calm demeanor and flexibility. Our dog warmed up to her immediately.”

About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.

About: When petsitting, I go beyond basic pet sitting by tailoring care to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m reliable, a good communicator, and can keep you updated via pictures! I also have experience administering medications and handling anxious pets as I have one of my own. My goal is to prioritize your pets safety, and keep them happy and comfortable. I am on the MSU women’s rowing team, and only have practices 6:30-9:30am daily. Aside from that, I have a part-time job with a very free schedule. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment whether pets are in my own home or yours. I don’t like to get them off routine as I know that can be a bit overwhelming for some animals, and love to give lots of attention! I’ll also be attentive to any needs of the pet, and keep you updated with photos/texts so you know your pet is in good hands!

“Cody was absolutely wonderful. Monty can be a handful to walk, but Cody had the magic touch. Will definitely use him in the future.”

About: I have had my own dog since I was 8 and taken care of other family and friends’ dog throughout my life. They have relied on my to feed, walk, and watch their pets while they are gone. I currently work from home, so I would be available at different times throughout the week depending on my schedule but most times during the week. I am currently living in an apartment with two kittens. This building allows animals and there are big open grass area for dogs as well as a walking trail nearby.

About: Ever since I was little, I have loved all kinds of animals and hope to one day have a career working with them. I have been helping care for my own dogs since I was around six years old and have experience with both large breeds, like Labrador Retrievers, and small breeds, like Chihuahuas. I have also cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family while they were away. In addition to dogs and cats, I have owned and cared for two hamsters, a Canadian goose, three ducks, and have experience helping care for horses. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. Currently, I have two Labrador Retrievers named Annie and Delta, and I love spending time caring for them. I am also comfortable administering medications, as one of my dogs requires seizure medication three times a day. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to providing loving, reliable, and attentive care for every animal I look after. I am a junior at Hope College home for the summer so my schedule is fairly open and I am very flexible. I am usually busy weekends and Tuesday and Thursday nights when I am coaching lacrosse. I can care for your dog in your home just as you would care for your dog if you were home. I could easily crate your dog if needed, take them for walks, feed them, and take them out to use the bathroom.

About: For years I have been surrounded by animals and taking care of them. I am here to help owners who don’t have the time to give their dogs a walk or even needing pet sitting! Currently this is my only job, I only will be doing sitting or walking during the week. My routine basically depends on the animals and what client's wish me to help with or do during my hours with the animals. I can take care of lizards, dogs, and cats. I always first make sure what allergies or restrictions are needed for the pet at their home. I offer walking and pet sitting. I can come at certain times the owner needs by request to make sure the animal is safe and cared for.

About: Hi, I have plenty of experience with my three grand-dogs. I am so good with them, my son suggested I sign up for Rover. The first dog is a border collie / flat coat retriever mix. She has spent overnights, and days with me at my home. I visit her daly for a walk and fun. The other two are golden retrievers. They come most of the time as a pair, Again I have had them for overnights, day time sitting and walks. I also spend time feeding my neighbor's two dogs, mainly getting them to sit for a treat. I am currently retired. My schedule is very fluid and flexible. I spend a lot of time on house/yard projects and spending time with my two son's families. I try to get goingearly and get outside. I do not have a fenced yard, sorry. With all of the dogs in my neighborhood, I keep my canine visators leashed, If your pet is with me I will make sure we get outside for some exploring the smells in my neighborhood.

There are no other pets in my home and it is a non-smoking home. I live with my boyfriend in a house and his 9 year old daughter is with us 50% of the time. My boyfriend’s father is a retired veterinarian and my boyfriend is experienced with vet med as well. I work from home full-time so I am mostly always home and available to be with your dog. There are great walking paths around me as well as parks to go to. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! I work from home so I will be with your dog all day. The only time I would be apart would be for quick errands or potentially events, but no more than a few hours. I do day care and dog boarding at my house. I can also do drop in visits or dog walking. Dogs are always allowed on our furniture and beds if that is something they are used to at home.

“Anthony is honestly the best. He has been walking them for a couple months now and they LOVE IT. He is so happy to see them and is very particular and diligent about reporting on cards and making sure they have a great (and tiring) time. I am SO GLAD I found him and will definitely continue using his services.”
