First time using a dog walker, and I’m so glad I did. Sam was great and responsive to a last minute request. My dog came back worn out and will likely nap for awhile. Thanks Sam!!!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for around four years, with friends or neighbors who need me to take care of them for weeks or just visit their homes to feed them and go for a walk Normally my schedules are very organized, I just have to look when it is available and verify the dates to have a good schedule everyone. It always depends on the special indications of each pet, but usually it also goes hand in hand with the personality of the pet. It is important not to make her uncomfortable and to be able to gain her trust over time.

About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.

Lacey was great with Varney, taking him out as far as he needed to go to do his business. She also let him sniff and chew sticks which is part of his routine.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I currently have a 14 year old beagle/cattle dog and 12 year old Pomeranian. My Pomeranian had three litters of puppies, so I also have experience with that as well. Additionally, one of my dogs previously was special needs, so I do have experience there and giving medications I’m currently working part time, so I will be available to assist during the week and some weekends/holidays. The best hours for me are between 9am and 3pm weekly, but just ask and I can try to accommodate your schedule I initially had an apartment with my first dog and understand the importance of keeping your pet on a leash, as well as picking up after them. As a home owner, I see the importance of allowing your pet to wander in a safe environment, while maintaining a watchful eye

About: I have had a dog for majority of my life and grew up around dogs. I have dog and house sat many different times. Looking for a new way to bring in some money while doing something I enjoy. I work outside of Columbus, I don’t usually get home until around 5 but I am free the rest of the evening once I do get home. I cannot do visits early in the morning on weekdays and I cannot do drop in visits during the work day. I live in an apartment at the moment and do not want to be boarding animals in my space. My apartment is not very big, does have a dog park but very small.

About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.

About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!

Hannah walked my dog daily for two weeks and was great! She was always prompt and consistently completed the Rover card, which I appreciated—it was such a nice pick-me-up to see a picture of him during a long shift. I would definitely use her again!
