Dog Walking Rome

About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog and cat, and even horses and small pets like fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, and bunnies, since I was a kid, from neighbors, to family and friends, and even friends of friends that have reached out to me personally because of my compassion and capacity to understand animals and love them like my own. I’ve just graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing, and I’ll be working on my Masters in the same field, virtually in the fall. Though my cat has anxiety and I am unable to leave him alone at night, I am available to care for your babies any time during the day, as I will have a flexible schedule of online classes. When arriving at your home, I would carefully come in the door if you have escape artists, and I would allow them to adjust on their own terms to my company. I would cater to whatever needs they had, whether that meant spending time outside, going on walks, eating meals, taking medication, playing, or simply sitting in their presence.

About: I’ve had two family dogs while growing up who were my best of friends. I work in healthcare so I have a huge passion for service. I know the importance of taking care of others, and that includes pets. Since losing my last dog of 12 years, I have missed being around pets regularly and so am looking forward to getting to do that again! I go into work at 2:45pm each day. This means I have the entire first part of the day and after dinner time when I get off to take care of a pet. In my own home, I make sure they are safe, have a filled water and food bowls, and a warm place to sleep. When visiting a dog at another home, I will make sure he or she is fed, warm, and able to play and get their energy out while I’m there. I love exercise and so will always be ready to walk them too. I believe dogs are meant to be outside running around more than they are tucked away in a crate inside all day.

“First time user of a dog sitter and it was a complete success. Samantha asked all the right questions when we met and Charlie and Gizzy were happy campers. I really was impressed the with Rover cards that showed where they had walked and how long. I knew exactly where they were and where they had been. When we returned home we were met at the doors with tails wagging but I had to stop and wonder, were they glad to see us or did they think Sam was back to play. Either way They were happy and that is what matters. We will definitely use the service again and contact Samantha. Thanks Sam!!!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I used to walk all of my neighbor’s dogs whenever I got the chance just because I loved them so much! When I got older, I began getting requests for looking after dogs and cats while people went on vacation. Along with experiencing different types of dogs and cats from pet sitting, I am also familiar with different temperaments because of my own pets. I have only ever had rescue dogs that have been reactive to other people and animals, so I know how to manage them and give them the space they need to feel safe. I have watched after dogs of all ages and sizes. I am familiar with use of puppy pads and diapers. I am happy to work with any size animal. I love all animals and will treat yours with the same love and care you would! I am currently an undergraduate student, so my flexibility varies day to day. However, I always have breaks in between my classes throughout the day, making it ideal for a chance to check on your pets! On the weekends I am completely free anytime to hangout with your furry friends! I will follow the specific instructions the owner provides. If I have any questions or concerns I will contact them right away. As well as the normal tasks of general care, I will also provide your pet with companionship and affection while you are away. For dogs, this could look like playing, walking, or just sitting and cuddling. For cats, also playing and cuddling. Having human contact even with just being present can provide great comfort to animals while their people are away. I am happy to provide this service and hangout with some cute friends in the process!

About: I’ve had and taken care of many different breeds and sizes over my life time of dogs as well as special needs and cats too! I typically wake up around 7-8. Go to the gym sometime within the day but other than that I’m free to watch your babies and take good care of them. I have a really friendly dog who is no more than 20 pounds and a fenced in yard if I watch them at my house. If at someone else house I have plenty of experience with that too and can do all that will be asked.

About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind. I’m available all day every day pick up or drop off. Anytime any day. Dog boarding and grooming and training is what I do and no one does it better! I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.

About: I have been rescuing since childhood. I have raised a little bit everything from dogs to reptiles to raccoons and have enjoyed them all. I now have 4 dogs and 10 acres of land with a creek and lake. I have experience to care for senior dogs as well as puppies. I can administer meds if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your pets, giving them amazing care and you peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I am retired, so critters get all the love they want and need. I spend my extra time in my art studio that is housed in the building with my kennels. I have 3 large 5 x 10 kennels in a large private room that is heated and cooled. I have crates, 60 x 80 fenced in play area and of course the house and shop. Our critters are never left unsupervised. We also have a doggie cam to check on them at night. It is a posh vacation for all critters who visit us.

About: Animals have been a constant part of my life — I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I’ve continued caring for them throughout my adult life. Because of that, I understand the little things that make each pet unique: the routines they rely on, the quirks that make them who they are, and the kind of attention that helps them feel safe and loved. When I’m walking your dog or stopping in for a visit, I bring that same lifelong experience and patience. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies who need structure to senior pets who move at a slower pace. I’m also attentive to shy or anxious pets and take the time to earn their trust. What sets me apart is how personally I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet. I treat your animals the way I treat my own — with consistency, kindness, and genuine care. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet still feels at home. As an educator and high school football coach, I’m used to balancing responsibilities, managing time well, and showing up consistently for the people who depend on me. That same reliability carries over into the way I care for pets. With summer approaching, my schedule becomes even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for regular walks, drop‑in visits, and consistent routines for your pets. Even during the school year, my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care naturally into my week. Because I’ve always had dogs and cats of my own — both growing up and now in my adult life — caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm. Whether it’s early‑morning walks, midday check‑ins, or evening visits, I’m able to give each pet the attention, structure, and comfort they’re used to. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I know how much comfort pets get from being in their own space, so I make sure everything I do matches the rhythm they’re used to. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any little quirks that matter to your dog or cat. I take the time to learn their personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and slow to warm up, or somewhere in between. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and structure so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Because I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, both growing up and now as an adult, I’m comfortable handling all kinds of needs: puppy energy, senior care, anxious pets, or those who just want someone to sit nearby and keep them company. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Thanks Chloe! You are a trooper walking in the typical Oregon rainy day weather! Wolf is so much calmer! Will most definitely schedule again!!”

About: I grew up with lots of pets, a golden retriever, labs, a vizsla, and siamese cats. I have worked with a non-profit rehabbing retired throroughbreads and retraining them for lives off the track, which has given me confidence, patience, and adaptability in handling spirited animals. I am currently working freelance and control my own schedule, so I can customize the level of care required to your needs. I'm happy to care for them at your home or take them on adventures to parks, hikes etc. Depending on your pet's needs, I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, training, boarding, and any other activities they enjoy. My demeanor is calm and patient, able to babysit a senior animal with special needs or entertain the most energetic of birddogs. I have experience in animal training for film and TV and am happy to offer those skills to teach new behaviors if requested.

About: I have experience caring for pets through helping family and friends with walking, feeding, and overnight care. In addition, I work in hospitality at a pet-friendly hotel, where I regularly interact with guest pets in a professional setting. When appropriate and with owner permission, I provide treats and assist guests with pet-related needs such as waste bags and general support to ensure a comfortable stay. These interactions have helped me become very comfortable around dogs of different sizes and temperaments. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve learned the importance of being responsible, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy dedicating time in making sure pets are happy, healthy, and cared for. I am very organized and flexible, so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners! I am very dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for those I care for. I strictly comply with the pet owner's specific guidance when feeding, exercising, or taking care of any particular needs. I make it easy for pets in a their owners home to feel like themselves by keeping them on schedule, giving them companionship, and providing regular updates. Safety and comfort are priorities, and I'm always attentive to their needs!
