Dog Walkers in Rochester, IA

About: I grew up with a Shiba Inu, that I absolutely loved. My family has always had dogs. Currently I travel for work throughout the year, so I cannot have my own but this allows me to be connected and give animals the attention they need while giving me time with dogs that I miss. I work full-time remotely 8am - 5pm, unless I am booked and busy with traveling for work. I am happy to walk dogs in the area during my work day and let them outside and give them a walk! I will be as available as my job allows. I work from home so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to the pets needs. It’s always nice to have an animal to also give me a welcome break away from my desk or keep me company! I have a great yard that backs up to a park making it easy to exercise dogs. I have a ranch style home so no stairs for senior animals and plenty of space to be comfortable. I always make sure to listen to your scheduling and follow your directive for care.

About: I have dog sat all types of dogs biggest being a Great Dane and the smallest a Chihuahua. I am very open to dog sitting any dog!

Your pets will have the run of the house. I have one cat that rules the roost!

About: I've been around and cared for dogs on and off since I was a young child. Currently, I volunteer regularly with the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption center and have gone through their training classes on dog behavior and providing appropriate stimulation and play. I've cleaned kennels and walked dogs as small as a Yorkie and as big as a Great Dane with a variety of quirks and behaviors. I love throwing a ball or just sitting and scratching some soft ears; whatever your pupper needs. I work a full-time, remote job that allows me flexibly to work from anywhere and the passion to shower your pet with the love they need and deserve. I work full-time fully remote during the day. I am able to do in-home, overnight, or drop in care with lots of flexibility. If you're close enough, I can drop in over breaks or lunch if necessary. I'll follow all house rules regarding your pet: on or off furniture, outdoor or indoor time, treats, feeding, and walkies. I can drop in multiple times a day, or work from your home to provide all day care/attention

About: Grew up on a farm and have loved animals ever since I can remember.Enjoy being around them and taking care of them. For the most part there has always been a dog & or cat in my household. Very patient so I think that comes in handy with all the different personalities that pets have. Being reliable is super important to me so if i say I'm going to do something or be there at a certain time its true 99% of the time. Currently have a cat and its hard for me to imagine not being around him every single day. If you let me take care of your pets they will be in great hands!! Work for my self mostly so I can set my own hours. An early riser, who wants to accomplish something new every single day. Plan my schedule out 2 weeks in advance I don't take care of pets in my home because I rent my place out for airbnb. Enjoy going to new places to see new pets

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was in high school, from family members, neighbors, or friends! I can provide services for dogs, cats, smaller animals ect. I have cared for puppies that need help with potty training, special dogs that need extra care and help with certain needs, to senior dogs that need help getting up or walking around. I’ve also given oral medications for dogs at multiple different families. I have also been a Nanny for Iowa Elite Nannies since 2018 and pick up shifts for numerous families around the area. I am renovating a house so with all the things that’s going on at my home I’d prefer to come to you for a better safer environment for pets at this time. I am very active and love going on walks and playing with pets in anyway I can to make sure they get all their zoomies out. I currently work full time (7:30am-4:00pm Monday-Friday) as a dental assistant at North Liberty Oral Surgery and Dental Implants. I can provide drop-in visits before/after my work hours or during my free time or weekends. I can possibly do overnights at the rovers house as well if requested and works out with my schedule. My home is currently undergoing renovations at this time so I’m not offering boarding at my home. I will stay at the rovers house with their pet if requested. I love all animals and will treat them like my own. If the pets family has a routine for the animals or specific requests I will obviously follow that and do what is asked. Obviously food, water, and potty breaks are a necessity and I will provide that for your pets. If your pet has an specific diet, allergies, medications Id request that it be written down, so I can always make sure I’m giving your pet the correct portions/amounts.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little including my own, family friends, and neighbors! I’ve had the most experience with dogs but am comfortable with all animals! I’m currently a college student at the University of Iowa looking for some jobs to help out! I’ve grown up with a 9 year old dachshund and have had experience with families and neighbors dogs ranging from small to large and all different types of behaviors. I have a fenced in yard with multiple roommates who also love animals and can help out when needed. We do all share a rescued 6yr old female dachshund that is very timid, but gets along great with other people & dogs. For dog walking I have a flexible schedule during both summer and school year and can do a variety of tasks!

About: I've had pets my entire life. From cats,dogs,fish,turtles,hedgehog,snakes, birds you name it I've probably owned it or have taken care of it! At one time we had 16 different animals in our home and the neighbors and their kids would come over to hold them,play with them and learn about them! I love animals more than I probably like humans lol! I have a keen intuition with them and feel like I can feel what they are feeling a lot of the time. Animals are easily attracted to me and they warm up to me real quickly. I have done pet sitting in the past and have always got compliments on how well I take care of animals. I go above and beyond to make sure animals are safe and loved! I have my own business so fitting your schedule into mine will be very easy. I interact with humans a lot on a daily basis and want to get back into caring for animals so I'm very flexible with my schedule Daily walks, daily play, feeding 2-3times a day. Lots of kisses and petting and a lot of talking to them as well. Take them to the vet regularly and give medication when prescribed. Make sure their environment is safe to play in and roam around in. I'm open to all needs of pets.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, I’ve done dogsitting gigs for 4years on weekends and in the summers. Walking, feeding, watering, playing, and of course cleaning up after the dogs. I love taking walks, so going on walks with dogs makes it so much better. Three years ago, I helped my parents when they got a new puppy, and cared for it, learning how to take care of dogs on my own, another reason why I love dogs. I love the energy, and the happiness dogs bring off to humans. I just graduated from the university of northern Iowa and have the summer off before I start my first teaching job in the fall! Looking to take care of dogs this summer because I love being around them!! I treat pets at my home or a clients home as the nicest way I can. With knowing it is my clients dog, I will always do my absolute best to give it all its needs, and make the dog as comfortable and happy as possible. I want to give my care to them in the time I’m able to spend with them.

About: I am home full time during the summer on a huge farm. I am an animal lover. I have a dog and two cats myself. I really enjoy being active and running with my dog daily. I know dogs are happiest when they are interacting. I enjoy what makes a dog a dog, quirks and all. I can't watch A Dog's Purpose because I know I will cry, but the message of the story is so true. A dog just loves to see you happy and in return I love to see happy dogs. I take my dog to doggy day care a few times a week when I am teaching because I know he is being active and having fun and knowing he is happy is all I can ask for.
