Dog Walking Rock Tavern

About: I have experience with being around animals since I’ve been 5 years old. I have two dogs of my own and three cats as well. I will make sure the animals are comfortable, loved and taken care of properly. I am patient, caring, and have high energy. I am big on play time and walks and making sure they get their exercise for the day. I have walked dogs before and also provided in house care for several of my neighbors and close family friends. I really do enjoy being around animals and find it very relaxing. I’m a college student and can be very stressed at times so getting to play with an animal really is something I look forward to. Thank you (: On a daily basis I am always making sure my animals are fed, getting play time in, cuddles and more! They are so important to me! Making sure my pets always have water and their litter box is clean on a daily basis. I always ensure they get little extra treats throughout the day as well as cuddles!

“You will be in good hands with Jill. My dog loves her and she sends me the cutest pictures of her while I am at work. It always makes my day.”

“Thank you for the summary! I am glad the kids had fun. I should have warned you that King loves to sit on your lap and lick your face. Thank you for checking their water level. The tank twists off but it's hard to refill if there is water in it.”

“Virginia did a great job taking care of our girl!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life. Cats are my favorite and I’ve had them since I was a child. In the past I have been mostly cat sitting. More recently, I have been dog walking and sitting for friend’s dogs while they are away on vacation or at work. I enjoy it as a therapeutic way of bonding with the animals as a form of self-care and mutual support and pet care co-regulation. Unfortunately, I cannot have dogs at my residence as per my lease agreement and being able to sit and walk with dogs is a way of being able to enjoy access to them without being able to own them myself. I’m looking to expand my reach and explore more breeds at this time. Specifically, I have experience with Labradors and Boxers. I’m currently working part-time and have ample time to schedule walking and feedings, and am able to stay for extended periods of time with your pets. I have two cats whom I adore and dote on at my home and I am very attentive to their needs and make sure they have an enriched environment with toys and play time, as well as grooming care.

About: (Please no retractable leashes, a regular leash will be provided if you don't have a regular leash) also please disclose any behavior issues first hand before walk! I have a over 25 years of experience with dogs/cats as well having my own pets and career experience. I want to welcome you and your pet to a safe and compassionate experience. I have all paws on your family companion and give full attention to their needs and service in a calm and clean/safe environment. Exercise is a great way for your pet to get rid of those extra zoomies, all while being organized to maintain a routine. I also ensure direct communication with my clients to ensure what your pets needs are met. I offer great flexibility for services that tend to my customers and clients my routines are not complex when caring for your dog. Caring for your pet is a full time job and lots of attention. That's why I have dedicated full time to caring for my pet and yours Just a heads up — I do require at least 2 days’ notice before the initial visit. I also require a meet & greet within that 2 day timeframe of services so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit for both you and your pet(s). 🐾 Feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walks, fears, triggers, aggression, emergency vet information, and house rules. Make sure you also understand how to access the home, alarm instructions. During the visit, feed pets exactly as instructed and always provide fresh water. Give dogs exercise, potty breaks, attention, and playtime while monitoring for signs of stress or illness. For cats, clean litter boxes daily, refresh food and water, and allow them to approach you comfortably. For small pets, make sure enclosures are secure and follow feeding instructions carefully. Always prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates closed, using leashes when outside, and avoiding unfamiliar animals or unsafe situations. Watch for signs of illness or injury and contact the owner if anything seems unusual.
