Dog Walking Shirley

“Jason took fantastic care of our senior dog while we were gone for a week! He gave him his medicine and did the rather complicated food routine flawlessly. He was also very communicative about how Mischka was doing, and sent lots of photos!”

“Bonnie did a great job introducing our new puppy to the neighborhood. She fed, watered, and walked him each day, right on time. I love the pics! They helped put this new fur mama's mind at ease. We look forward to the next vacation week to hire Bonnie again.”

About: I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures. As a medical student currently between clinical rotations, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet attention and care. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some extra exercise, or simply a friendly companion while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I grew up with cats and dogs in the family, and more recently have been loving helping my dad raise his Bernese Mountain puppy! These experiences have taught me that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I love getting to know them and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a medical student currently in between clinical rotations, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra playtime and companionship, or you need someone to help with feeding and other pet-care needs, I’d love to help! I’m primarily interested in dog walking and giving pets some extra exercise, fresh air, and companionship! I’ll tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, whether that means a long walk, a leisurely stroll, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra attention while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide regarding your pet’s care, and in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for—and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing!

“We have been working with Blaise for a few weeks now, and we are so happy we found him! He is flexible, reliable, professional, affordable, and extremely punctual. He is highly communicative and easy to get ahold of. He is always flexible with any last minute changes, and he always arrives exactly when he says he will. We are so glad we found someone who we can trust so highly, and who our dog loves so much! Our dog is our baby and we know he is safe and happy with Blaise. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no further than Blaise!”

“Ben has been taking excellent care of my puppy Dexter. He is only 9 weeks old and has a crazy amount of energy. He has been going in 2 times a day which is a lot! He always quickly responds when I reach out to him. I love the pics he sends because Dexter looks super happy. Thank you Ben!”

“Zachary is a perfect match for my mini schnauzer Toby. He was very patient and let him sniff everything he wanted to. I will definitely book him again thank you”

“I just met Matt this year and he has been such a great support ! I work really long hours and was hesitant about finding a dog sitter as my dog is really selective with men. From one meet and greet my dog was comfortable with Matt & was friendly right away! Matt has been consistent and is extremely reliable & follows instructions! He makes sure remy is exhausted by the time he’s done and he also makes sure to give her her water breaks while on walks! I’m definitely sticking with Mat as a dog sitter. 🫶🏼 thank you for being there for my sweet girl !”

About: I love to work with animal, I’ve been in the veterinary profession for 10+ years. If your pet has special care instructions I will follow them perfectly. I have dogs, cats, and horses at home so I am very comfortable working with all sizes of animals. I also know how to care for birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters and pigs. I know how much a pet can mean to someone so ill will care for yours as if they were my own I currently work 4 days a week. I am available Fridays to Sunday’s if you are looking for a weekend getaway or if you have a busy weekend and would like your dog to go for a walk I don’t offer in my home dog services but can offer cat or small animal boarding. You tell me home you’d like your pet cared for, weather it’s taking them for a walk or just letting them out in a fenced in area

“Brian has been great with Barney and our family. Barney is a particular type of dog that needs someone who understands his personality. This Brian has done. He also has been available on short notice and keep all his appointments and has been great at communicating his future availability. As well he is very pleasant to work with. Thanks Brian!”

About: I have owned a cat and a dog. I watch or check in on my friends' and family's pets when they are away from vacation. I WFH fairly regularly so check-ins are really easy. House sitting is doable, but would need to coordinate times as i have some activities with my kid. Animals are all about routine and I don't like to rock the boat. However you take care of your pets is how i want to provide for them.

“Jeffrey is amazing! He was on time, personable and professional. He was patient with my dog and now Finn runs right away to Jeffrey. Rover is lucky to have him! As are we!”

About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.

About: We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks. For drop in visits we are avaliable to work in the Shirely and immediately surounding area. We have some flexibility with the schedule that we can work out if you're interested! We offer lots of human and other dog socialization in our home. We have people and dogs visitors in home as well as on walks to parks and rivers.

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets, including walking and running with a friend’s dog over the past few years.

About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have been a lover and caretaker for animals since I was young. I foster puppy’s often and love it. Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. ❤️ ❤️

About: With several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep passion for canine companionship to my work with Rover.com. My journey began six years ago, helping raise my first pup in my family’s home, and has evolved to include caring for my own dog and offering dog-watching services in my neighborhood during my downtime. My approach is highly personalized, ensuring each dog receives tailored care suited to their individual needs. I find joy in spending time with all dogs, including those with more challenging behaviors, and am dedicated to creating a nurturing and loving environment for them. Additionally, my experience has been further enriched through my work at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I have honed my skills and deepened my understanding of canine care. As a current student, my availability varies with the academic calendar. Typically, I am available all weekend and most weekdays after the afternoon. During the holiday season, I travel and may be less accessible. However, I maintain a flexible schedule and can often accommodate requests on short notice. Please do not hesitate to reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I treat pets with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Although I do not offer pet sitting services at my residence, I ensure that your home is treated with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own. I understand the significant trust you place in allowing me into your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
