Dog Walking Rockaway Beach

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always considered my dogs part of the family. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Boston Terrier, Daisy, was the love of my life. We were lucky enough to have 10 wonderful years together, and she taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of her, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very important member of your family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with dogs. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, learn their routines and preferences, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone who will give them lots of attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I’m dependable and like to plan ahead, so I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate their individual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines when needed. I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays consistent, so my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in their home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others need a little more space and patience. I never want a pet to feel rushed or uncomfortable, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll leave your home clean and tidy and make sure everything is just as I found it when I leave.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals since I was a kid. My family used to call me the dog whisperer because I was the family and friend pet sitter. I have some training experience from my own pets and those of my family. I am a firm believer that a pet is truly a part of the family and should be treated as such! I work from home and can house dogs during the day. I love taking walks in the mornings and evenings and bringing a furry friend along sounds like such a treat! Weekend hikes are also more enjoyable with company! My dog is like my child. She gets love and affection all throughout the day and as often as I can afford. I also have a large fenced in yard that my pup loves to run in all the time. I do my best to keep my pup happy and healthy. I want her to live a long and happy life.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! I’ve lived on a farm and find pleasure in tending to animal needs! Pets are therapeutic and are make great buddies for outdoor activities! I’m currently working full-time and have availability in the late afternoon (after 3PM) to tend to your pets desires! I typically work mornings 7AM-3PM. I enjoy working with people and animals, and find them to truly make a difference in our outlooks in life! I unfortunately currently am unable to board animals or do day care at my home. Fortunately, I do spend a lot of time outdoors, and enjoy having a buddy along the ride! So if needed, I’d love to take your animal for a ride and to go sight/adventure seeking!

About: I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer -Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) so I am very experienced with with all kinds of dogs. I have educated myself on animal first aid as well. You’ll see from my reviews that you don’t just get a dog trainer who’s educated, you get someone who genuinely cares about the families I work with. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been training for 10 years, professionally for 7 years. I am currently home full-time and it’s easy to add pets to my schedule. It’s easy to schedule drop-ins and walks around my schedule as well. For boarding and daycare I do ask that I see proof of DHLPP and rabies to ensure a safe environment for everyone. I communicate a lot with pet parents and love to send fun pictures and videos as I get them. I treat every pet like my own and that includes taking care of their needs and their wants, like extra love or specific meals.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8+ years and have always had a love for animals. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, medication, or company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also very attentive to their routines and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to offer plenty of time and attention to your pet. I can work around your pet’s routine and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight care when needed. I have a safe, comfortable home with a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet to relax and play.

About: I am a veterinary assistant and have been for 5+ years. I live in Dalton Gardens and have a full acre fenced backyard so your furry friend can stretch their legs. I am also insured. I work at a veterinary clinic three 10 hour shifts during the week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday). I have an hour lunch break which I come home and take my dog for a walk during! I have a full fenced acre and a golden retriever that loves other dogs. I have two cameras one in the house and one in the back yard to make sure your pet is safe while I’m away. We are happy to take on your furry family members and love them like our own! ** Fence is a 4ft (welded wire)**

About: Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas/ Jack Russells to Great Danes, and I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for cats and would be happy to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I currently have three dogs of my own, but they will be kept separate from your pet and crated when appropriate to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I have two children, ages 13 and 8, who have grown up around animals and love them just as much as I do. We understand that every pet has different needs and boundaries, and we’ll respect their space while making them feel welcome and loved. When your pet stays with us, my goal is for them to feel like they’re at a home away from home. They’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spoil your pet with lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ A Little About Me 🐾 I work part-time, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone home throughout the week to give your pet plenty of attention and care. We love having animals around and want every pet who stays with us to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We are available to care for pets throughout the week. Due to our religious observance, we do not offer pick-up or drop-off from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. We’re happy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times around this schedule. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home! ❤️🐶🐱 We live on 5 beautiful acres with plenty of room for your pet to explore and enjoy walks. Our property is not fenced, so pets will always be supervised outside and kept safely on a leash. We also live on a quiet gravel road, which gives us a great opportunity to take pets on walks. Our goal is to provide your pet with lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Tell us about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions, and we will do our best to keep their routine as familiar as possible. My husband does need to pick up and drop off our children from school during the day. For your pet’s safety, they will be securely crated during those brief times when no one is home. Otherwise, we are home frequently and able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention. We want you to feel confident knowing your pet is staying with a family who will treat them like one of our own! ❤️🐶🐱

About: While growing up, we always had dogs, living with my best friend, i was her dogs' training instructor, and I have almost always lived with dogs' myself. I love them, despite them being much more needy than cats, but alike, we've always had cats too- even some households where cats and dogs weren't allowed to intermingle. I'm quick to catch a runaway and I've got an open schedule most the time. Our animals are like our children, they need attentive love and care, they sleep a lot, but their bedtimes food schedules and habits are as much of their nature as habit, and breaking their habits, never results in good endings. I operate my own business as SeansServices.Com, I do several tasks like landscaping, cleaning, moving or hauling. My schedule is pretty open until i have a job, then after my job, I am wide open again. There are times I'll do a long distance move, but I do know others on Rover I can recommend or refer if I am unavailable. I will always be up front. I currently cannot offer at home care, but I play with, work with and ask for or look up schedules every time they're given, with screen shots and alarms just like any job, I take my jobs seriously and my attentive and alertness on high. I never know what an animal is capable of until they show me, so I treat them all fairly with common warnings in mind, while addressing and watching for new concerns.

About: My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.

“Great dog walkers. Give detailed information from the walk. Easy to work with. Very nice people.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13. My grandma had 25 dogs, and I helped take care of them throughout their lives. I have looked after friend or family member’s dogs…. enjoy dog walking, hikes, training, or playing with them. I deliver packages part time, so I create my own schedule. Creating a structured framework around the pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest, is crucial for their mental and physical well-being. Additionally, pet care encompasses tasks such as cleaning, grooming, and ensuring a safe environment. I think consistency is crucial for pets. Collaborate with your client to comprehend their pet’s daily routine, encompassing feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication administration, and any specific needs. Adhering to a consistent daily routine will contribute to the pet’s comfort and overall well-being.
