Dog Walking Rockdale

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school for neighbors, friends and family! I grew up with multiple dogs, I love cats, and I’ve also had a turtle. I would be honored to be trusted with your babies!! 🐾🐱🐶 I am currently working part time and am available almost any day to take care of your pets! I am happy to work with your schedule for days, nights, and anything in between. I make sure that they are comfortable, have ample time outside (as needed), and get the attention they need while their favorite people are away! I would be sure to clean, feed, walk, and snuggle each pet and ensure their safety and comfort in your home.

About: I have taken care of animals for many years, and love spending time with them! I recognize that every pet has their own personality, needs, and schedules, and I am comfortable meeting them where they’re at. Whether that’s lots of playtime and long walks or more subtle play time and a quieter environment, I don't mind adapting! I would be more than happy to take them to the dog park, on walks, or play at home, and I will dedicate my time to making them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I am currently home full time and am available for drop-ins or house check-ins as needed! I am also pretty flexible and am happy to work with your scheduling needs. I base my care on you and your pet’s usual routine including schedules, preferred walk spots, etc. I like to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible by not disrupting what is familiar to them.

“Alana is not only an amazing dog walker (my dog is obsessed with her!). But she’s also an amazing human. I often foster dogs, and many of them can be very nervous and require specific instructions or often times, just have to figure it out as we go. But Alana is always willing to help out and test and learn on what works and what doesn’t for our fosters. She follows instructions well and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure our fosters feel comfortable with her. It can be often chaotic with a new foster and a new routine, but she handles it with calmness and grace and I wouldn’t be able to foster dogs if it wasn’t for her! Thank you Alana for your help not only with my own dog, but helping the community as well by taking care of my foster dogs!!!”

About: I volunteered at animal shelters throughout high school and college and have had my own dogs throughout my life. I also have formal education in behavior modification so I know a thing or two about training animals. I’m currently mom to a 3-year old Shiba Inu named Shuri and we work hard on her skills every day. I’d love to meet your fur baby. Let’s chat and see if I’m a good fit for you and your furry one! I’m a full-time gig worker, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet. I typically don’t pet sit on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but we can discuss exceptions if you need to! I don’t care for pets in my home currently as I live in a home with two dogs who are just getting to know each other, but I will take care to follow any instructions you provide for caring for your pet in your home. I have over 20 years of childcare, pet care, and other care and responsibility experiences. Tell me what you’d like to happen and I’ll be happy to discuss it with you!

“Ilaria walked Donut twice this week, and I would happily book her again in the future. She arrived on time, walked Donut for a full 30 min, and I came home to a happy dog. Thanks, Ilaria!”

“My dog often gets nervous around new people, but she became comfortable with Josh pretty quickly. Josh is fantastic—very punctual and responsive and nice to my dog!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have a deep love for both dogs and cats. I’ve owned four dogs over the years and currently have three rescue pups of my own—including one foster “fail” (lesson learned: don’t foster puppies 😊). I’ve taken basic dog training classes and have worked with trainers over the years, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re my own—with patience, care, and lots of love. I have volunteered at animal shelters and have fostered many dogs over the years. I've learned a lot about dog behavior through that experience. I have given cats and dogs oral medication and have administered insulin shots to dogs. I require at least a week notice for all NEW client boarding and doggy daycare requests to allow for a meet and greet. I also require proof of current DHPP, Rabies and Bordatella vaccines before booking anyone. Please send those records with your request. Thanks! **during the fall semester (Aug 24-Dec 13), I am on campus for 8 hours on Tuesday and Thursday. Those days dogs get a 15 min break midday while I am away from my dog sitter. I work from home most of the time. I am usually not away from home for more than 4 hours. During the fall semester, I am away on T/R for about 8 hours a day. I have a large fenced yard and 3 dogs at home. Two of my dogs are seniors and one is almost 3 years old with lots of playful energy. I also have a large finished attic space that I use for doggy play, especially when it's super hot/cold outside.

“Great with communication and caring”

“Shannon has been our regular weekly dog walker for over a year now and is absolutely incredible. Completely reliable, highly communicative, and meticulous about ensuring the pups get their meds. Our girls absolutely love her and her dependability means I can be flying around the country or downtown in a high stakes meeting with no worry that she'll complete a walk as scheduled or that our babies will receive absolutely stellar care. Could not possibly recommend more highly. A+++”

Brandy S.

“Amazing communication and my dog loved her!!”

Amaya M.

“Laura is amazing! She started walking our dog during the peak of summer, through the heat and all the crazy afternoon storms. Our dog absolutely refuses to go outside when it’s raining, but Laura was incredibly patient with her and so flexible with us as we figured things out. After a few attempts and adjusting the timing of the walks, they found a great routine. Our dog is always so excited to see Laura, which says everything. We’re so grateful for the care, patience, and reliability she brings, and for making sure our pup gets the exercise she needs. We couldn’t recommend Laura more highly!”

Solveig G.

“I could not praise Natalia enough. She not only is reliable, but she knows how to love on and play with a puppy! Watson absolutely adores Natalia. What more could you want from a dog walker? I am so thankful we found her!!!”

Sheri B.

“Excellent dog walker! Easy to work with, great communication, and great with my dog!”

About: I have taken care of my own dog for the last 7 years and have trained her in being potty trained (very quickly), new tricks even now, and engage her in multiple different activities. I will always put the needs of the pet first especially if they want longer walks and sniffs, running around, or just more attention. I have taken care of multiple different types of dogs during my time I've had my own. I worked at a Public Dog Park so I am very observant of dogs' behaviors as well as things to look out for. I am currently in school, so my schedule can be flexible especially during the day time if you need to be in office or not. I care for pets by providing food, fresh water, exercise, and companionship. In clients' homes, I follow specific instructions, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved.

“Hope, Thank you so much for walking Trixie, she absolutely loves seeing you. Thank you for your attentiveness, responsiveness, and flexibility. It’s truly been the best for us both and we hope to have you for many more walks to come! If you’re looking for a dog walker/sitter, Hope is your girl! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”

Brietta P.

“Amanda was amazing! She was the first dog walker I ever booked on Rover, and she completely exceeded my expectations. She was so sweet and patient with my dog, Charlie, and even stayed with him for five minutes after the walk just to make sure he felt safe and comfortable before being left alone. It really meant a lot to me. I could tell she genuinely cared, and Charlie absolutely loved her. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and attentive!”

Jayla M.

“Jamal is the best. He was so patient with my pup at the beginning (she’s a rescue and can be skiddish). My dog now loves her walks with him. Would highly recommend him!”

Claire H.

“Kennedy was amazing with our 2 chihuhua-mixes! She went above and beyond with her communication and care. Will definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to walk/care for our 2 pups.”

About: I have cared for my 3 month old puppy for 4 years. I have also cared for my older dog previously having to administer medications and other treatments. I work fully remote full time. I have my own car to travel as far as needed. I work out early in the morning the rest of the time. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment that has a dog park. I am home during the day for walks, treats and love. The second bedroom has space for a crate if needed.

“Susana was great with our dog and sent updates during the walk which was great! We will definitely be contacting her in the future for help.”
