Dog Walking Rivals

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 16 years old, providing dog walking and pet-sitting services for family friends, relatives, and people in my community. Over the years, I've gained experience with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and sizes, from small companion dogs to large breeds weighing over 100 pounds. I currently care for three dogs of my own, a Chihuahua, a hound dog, and a Corgi mix, which gives me daily hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Through both personal ownership and pet-sitting experience, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and making sure each dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having a dependable companion while you're away, I'm committed to providing attentive, reliable care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am currently home for the summer and working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide quality care for your pets. I'm able to adjust my availability and work around the needs of both you and your furry family member, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I strive to be as accommodating and dependable as possible to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize both your pet's safety and the security of your home. I carefully follow all instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and maintain a clean, respectful environment while you're away. My goal is to provide dependable care that gives both you and your pet comfort and peace of mind.

About: I believe you can tell everything you need to know about a person by the way they treat animals. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. After my 14 year old Labrador passed away, I became a foster home for needy dogs, through GRANND. I learned a lot about sick and abused dogs over those years. Most recently I have been house and dog sitting for a family in Louisville. I specialize in disabled and medical care your dog may need. I currently have an open schedule now that my teen is getting older. I look forward to spending my time with your dog, soon. I also have experience with care of birds and rabbits.
