Dog Walking Shelton

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog lover who works from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I’m patient, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and committed to making every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have flexibility for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, loving care with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My home also has a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time.

About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.

“Sarah is an amazing dog walker. Our dog can be a bit uneasy meeting new people, but Sarah knew exactly how to approach her and make quick friends. She was very communicative and professional. We will absolutely book with Sarah again!”

“Kristen was a great walker for Cosmo. She was on time, communicated well with me and gave Cosmo what he needed each morning. Highly recommend if you have a need.”

About: Hi, I’m Leah! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your pet, because I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I treat every dog or cat I care for like they’re my own. I’ve spent the last 10+ years working hands-on with animals, including time as a vet tech and kennel attendant. I now work remotely and would love to use my extra time to care for and love on your pets while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a calm walk, playful energy, or just a comforting presence while you’re away, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I’m big on consistency, safety, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. You can expect: 🐶 Plenty of attention, patience, and affection 📸 Regular photo and text updates so you’re never wondering how things are going 🕒 On-time visits and clear communication 🏡 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine I’m especially great with pets who need a little extra reassurance, structure, or a sitter who truly pays attention to details. My goal is always for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet, along with total peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet 😊 I work fully remotely, so I am very flexible as far as walks, visits, or overnights go. Pet sitting is a passion of mine that I truly love and make time for outside of my regular 9-5. I am not able to host your pets currently due to having my own cat, but I am happy to come to you to make sure your pet is most comfortable and stays in their routine.

“Jenny took great care of my 2 dogs and was very responsive. I will definitely use Jenny in the future for dog walks and drop in visits :)”

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

About: I can’t remember a time when a dog wasn’t in my life. I love pups and I can love yours too! Taking dogs on walks and taking care of them throughout the day, I will be able to create a bond and relationship with your pup to give them the stimulate they need throughout the day.

I grew up with German Shepherds as well, so plenty of experience with big dogs. In high school, I volunteered over 50 hours at our local animal shelter, finding myself walking dogs, cleaning their kennels, giving them food and doing the 24/7 care for them I’m a current student in university so in between classes throughout the days I am available to give your pooch a nice walk and breeze from the great outdoors.
