Dog Walking Sequoyah

About: I have had two cats of my own for 6+ years as an adult (one very shy, one friendly), and grew up with a cat who lived to be 22. I know how to interpret their body language and adjust to their comfort level. I have done a TNR training in the past and have volunteered with rescues. I always let them approach me first in order to build trust. I have often gotten the trickiest cats to come around with me by making them feel safe and comfortable. I am primarily available during evening, but work from home most of the time and can be flexible about drop ins. Mornings before work is also manageable! In your home, I am highly organized and attuned to the most specific instructions (finicky lock on your door? Cat who likes to escape by hiding near the shoes?) I also will ask you plenty of questions to understand how you want me to be in your space and what your pets prefer. With each visit, I'll follow your feeding instructions + clean the pet's dishes, change out water, scoop the litter box and sweep up litter if a broom is available, play with your cats, and send a photo.

“I highly recommend Zen for dog walks. She’s incredibly patient and has a great vibe and energy. I’ll definitely be using her for dog walks in the future. Thank you again for walking Viktoria!”

About: I have owned and cared for both cats and dogs all of my life! I have dog and cat sitted for friends, coworkers, and family! Most of the work involved walking, feeding, and bathing the fur balls! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I work full-time as a legal assistant, primarily from home with only occasional trips to the office. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention and care for your pets throughout the day! I am experienced in tending to the needs of young and elderly dogs and cats! If your fur baby has any specific needs to be tended to please let me know so I can accommodate them!

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pets since I was a kid and love to have a fur friend around. Happy to take them out and walk and explore nature. I like to run and hike and bike and a companion on the way is a bonus. They will be greeted with calm warmth and care. I work on trips and when I am home I am home and can be flexible about where I work. This allows me to be present to the pets I care for and to adjust to their needs. I will probably have a run or workout at some point in the day or meet a friend but am quite present. I have a fenced backyard and live by myself in a peaceful quiet space. I enjoy a walk with a fur friend to get out and move and consider it a bonus to have a buddy along.

“Natasha has been awesome with my fur baby. He enjoys his outing with her, she is attentive to belly rubs and giving my baby love while in her care. Very responsive to my crazy work schedule and stays in communication with me if any changes. I look forward to continued care with her!!”

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

“Sydney was an absolute trooper getting the harness on my dog. Penny was very skittish about someone else putting it on her, but they were super patient and had a successful walk! They also paid great attention to the house alarm system/lock and had no issues with following directions. Would highly recommend for their calm, patient, and caring attitude!”

About: Hello fur babies and parents! My name is Amelia, I have lived in the bay for almost 10 years! I'm a big animal lover but can't have a dog so I decided to get on Rover to get my puppy fix this way. Ive successfully trained and worked with all type of dogs (from calm pitbulls to reactive chihuahuas and vice versa ). I look forward to taking your babies out on walks and helping care for them when you're out of town. I work from my pet free home so I have a flexible schedule and can work with anxious clients. Happy to answer any questions :) I live in a quiet, smoke/child/pet free home. My neighborhood is very calm and I have nice parks to walk to. Apartment is fenced so no worries on the babies running out.

About: I grew up taking care of big dogs. In the past couple of years I worked at a local doggy daycare(board & train facility) and then got my training certification. I learned a lot about dog behavior and dog nutrition while working there. I worked in the boarding department which dealt with administering medication, handling senior or handicap dogs with care, handling new foster dogs and even puppies, and required CPR classes. I love all sizes and breeds and will always have your dogs safety and happiness as my main priority. ❤️ I’m currently working at home and have a veryy OPEN schedule!! I would be happy to drop in last minute to check up on your dog or to take them out for a walk. However, for over night stays they should be scheduled atleast 2 days in advance so that we have time to discuss the pups needs and preventative behaviors, most importantly it guarantees your dog is the happiest goober haha. If you are looking to board, we have a fenced backyard. The dogs can always be seen and safe with fresh air. I also love running my dog in the morning and if your dog is interested I would take them as well! I love providing mental enrichment toys to the dogs during there stay. I personally love using rover so I can practice behavioral dog training so your pup will come back refreshed and happy …maybe even new commands like backup, turn left / right…

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different kinds. My love for pets have been for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I have personally cared for medium-sized dogs, specifically a German shepherd and Pitbull, and also 3 different cats. I recently have lived in a house with 5 pit bulls and helped walk, feed and bathe each one for over a year. I currently do not own a pet, but am itching to own one soon. For now, I am happy to assist in bringing comfort and joy into your pet’s life. Anything to help make a family's home easier is what I strive for. I am currently working full time, but have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate to feeding/walking times. I am looking for anyone interested in board & care at my home (limit 2 dogs), occasional overnight or drop in pet-sitting, dog walks, feeding and/or bathing care for your pet. I live in a house with a fenced yard. I offer a safe space to care for your pet. I live with my husband who is also a pet lover. It will help us get out of the house for necessary walks and overall care. Please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs as I can host up to two dogs at a time.

I primarily have experience with dogs weighing 10-60 pounds and dogs of all ages. I'm good at taking control of a situation and can also understand when a dog is scared, upset, or just needs a break.

I work part-time and have a flexible schedule so I am happy to make things work with your pet needs whether it's morning, middle of the day, or early evenings. I am not accepting pets in my home because we have a dog and a cat who are a bit sensitive to other pet friends.
