Dog Walking Sophia

About: I’ve worked in vet med for 4 years and can promptly handle any type of emergency. I am comfortable medicating dogs and cats of all ages, and I can perform CPR if necessary. I have also worked at doggy daycares taking care of 100+ animals at a time. I have been pet sitting since I was in high school, and I care for each animal as my own! I am trustworthy, reliable, and very communicative with pet parents. My schedule is completely open right now! I am available to pet sit weekdays or weekends. I can do same-day bookings, but I would prefer at least one day’s notice to stay overnight. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have one senior husky, one middle-aged mutt, and one young cat in my own home. They are all healthy and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. They are well socialized and get along with other dogs really well. I am happy to take your pet on walks if that is what they need to get their energy out as well!

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all sizes and all ages. I love animals and would love to be a small part of your pets lives. My family and friends trust me to take care of their pets and I have done so many times on many occasions. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am also available after work hours to visit and play with your babies. I have a fenced in backyard and a young, friendly fur baby to keep your babies company. I also have room to crate your baby if needed.

About: I have had pets all my life and currently have 3 cats. I’ve volunteered at a dog park during high school, as well as fostering dogs. I care for my own pets by scooping their litter boxes, trimming their claws, and feeding them morning, mid-day, and night. Giving them overall care and attention. I treat all animals I come across with an abominable amount of love and respect, I will always try my best to make sure any animal is taken care of and appreciated.

“Valerie was extremely professional and kind. My pup has been cooped up in the house and needing some out time. She came in and allowed my dog to get familiar with her before letting her out. She was quick to respond and informative as well. I will definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they get the proper care they need. All of my family has relied on me to potty train their dogs. I have experience with multiple different breeds because I worked at a boarding/training facility. I am currently on summer break because I am a teacher so I have plenty of availability. I’m a morning person so I typically get up then feed and walk my dogs then tackle whatever the day brings. I’m only not available on Tuesday evenings. I follow your pet's established routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and keep everything exactly as you left it. Whether your pet stays in their own familiar environment or we are somewhere new I'm fully present and attentive the entire visit. Pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar spaces, and I always follow each pet's routine to keep them stress-free and at ease.

About: I have advanced experience with caring for all types of pets, as I have a degree in veterinary medical technology and have worked in private practice as well as in a lab. I am comfortable handling and caring for most breeds/sizes. I have reliable transportation and am willing to transport your pet to any necessary appointments. I can also administer medications and treatments. I am responsible and trustworthy. I work from home, so I have all the time I need to dedicate to caring for your fur babies! I have two daughters, ages 15 and 9. They would most likely be present part of the time, so it is crucial that I know your pet’s temperament so that I can plan accordingly. Have cats? No problem! Small pets or birds? Awesome! I can care for them all, in your home OR mine. Thanks so much, and I look forward to meeting your fur (feathered and scaled too!) babies! I work full time from home, so I can provide consistent care and attention all day! I plan trips and time off in advance, so my schedule is always up to date. As I live in an apartment, I always walk on-leash. I can tailor my care directly to my client’s needs. I treat every pet as if it were my own!

About: My mom was a vet tech growing up and I have been around dogs of all sizes my whole life. I was raised in a home where every dog deserves a chance, no matter their health or their behavior and it has carried over with me into adulthood. Whether it is doggy day care, house sitting, or in-home boarding, I have experience in doing them all. I am local to parks, and I have a nice sized back yard that is perfect for playtime. I can tend to whatever the dogs may need energy level wise. I also enjoy walking all dogs when I exercise. Once play time is over, we have plenty of space in the house for relaxing and sleeping. I am home most of the time, so the dogs won’t be stuck alone for hours on end. I work from home, so there will not be much of a time that the dogs will be alone. I can cater to whatever the dogs need. I do prefer a crate trained dog for if/when I do leave the home for safety for both my home and the dog itself. The back yard is a huge hit for the dogs when I dog sit them. I am able to separate dogs if I have multiple, if needed. We have plenty of trails to walk, a local park with a walking track. Dogs are allowed on furniture. I have plenty of bones, toys, blankets, and anything to make your dog happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of my pup since July 2021. July, 2022 I took care of my dad’s dog (along with my own) for 9 days. I’m on hand for my dad when he has to go out of town unexpectedly so his dog is cared for. I currently work full time. My job is hybrid, meaning I’m in an office 3 days and work remote 2. I am available most weekends and evenings the days I work from home. I live in a townhouse, so for walks I use a leash. I do also have space for crates, if your dog needs one. Due to my living space, it may be more comfortable for your pet to stay in their home.

About: I’ve fostered and owned pets since I was young. I have a lot of experience with young pets (including bottle fed), senior animals, and sick animals. I watch my friends and family’s pets frequently, and foster everything from kittens and puppies to senior dogs and cats! I’m currently a college student, so I will have plenty of time to come care for your pets! I can come before, between, after classes or all of those if needed! In your home, I will take care of your pets (feeding, walking, scooping litter, etc.) and make sure to give them some play time and love on them! I will also send pictures of your pet each time I visit :)

About: I have been a pet sitter for 6 years. I own my own house/dog walking business. I chose to expand my services over to Rover! I work a few hours out of the evening so i have plenty of time to hang out with the doggos i keep and take them out every 4 hours In my home, I have a room specifically for the pups that I keep. When I am home i allow them to roam but when Im away I do not cage them unless the owner recommends it! If you prefer for me to come to your home, I abide by the instructions you leave for me.

About: I have taken care of family dogs my entire life, and my family has always been very pet-focused. I have dog-sit for about 4 years now, and provided care for all types of dogs. I am experienced with reactive dogs, as my dog is also an anxious boy himself. I have experience with medication as well, so you can rely on me to administer meds correctly without stress to your dog. I am a college student looking to make some extra money while getting to hang out with your pup! I am a college student so I will have classes randomly throughout the day, but I am available for all times of the day with some fluctuation. Nights and mornings are ALWAYS available for me. Pets comfortability and safety ALWAYS come first, and I would ensure that your pet feels comfortable with me in your home. To get out some energy and ensure the safety of the things in your home, I would make sure that dogs get an appropriate of time outside and get lots of bathroom breaks. Additionally, I will make sure to send lots of pictures of your pets and updates on how they are doing so you know that they are safe and in good hands.

“Tiffany has been walking and visiting with my family’s Boston Terrier for several months now. She has consistently delivered top notch care!
