About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I have been volunteering at Our Companions Animal Sanctuary in Ashford, where I walk dogs every Friday morning. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.
“Wonderful dog walkers. Pat was critical to helping me successfully interview for a job (including full days of Zoom) without whiny dogs in the background and was highly responsive and flexible in scheduling. We are looking forward to boarding our dogs with them and only wish they had greater availability (but of course, top dog walkers/boarders are busy!).”

About: Like many people, I've grown up being surrounded by pets and animals. So, what other path to take than to learn how to properly care for them? Every pet and animal deserves a special amount of attention and care based on their needs. Sometimes life becomes too busy with work or personal trips. Rather than judge you, I'm here to help you. Who says life has to stop being fun when you have responsibilities? There are ways to help yourself and I would love to be there to take one more thing off your mind. Not only am I understanding, knowledgeable, and caring, but I will ensure the absolute best for your pets as they are a part of your family. I work part-time to get myself through college, but with that, I have plenty of free time where I can look after your animals. I work online, so if you need me there for a few hours if your pet has anxiety (or just peace of mind), I can be there for a few hours. If you need me there in the early morning or late evening, I can make that happen. Besides my flexible schedule, I can primarily fit pet care into the evenings and early mornings. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little slim for me, I can help make it work for your pets for the right price. While I would love to care for your pets in my own home or yours, I have a lovely elderly dog who can not handle the stress of other dogs being around. However, I would be more than happy to commute to your home and look after your dog(s). All I require are the basic necessities to be provided for your dog, such as food and water supplies. If you would like me to walk your dog, then I would also require you to provide a leash and/or harness.
About: I've been involved in the care of my own and others animals for over 40 years. I am comfortable around many types of pets also! I am available most days and hours since this is my only job besides being a mom to my daughter and my own fur babies I understand the importance and need to keep a dog in a leash. And I am aware that sometimes other dog owners are not very respectful in public with their dogs and other dogs safety
About: As a college student with a set weekly schedule, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. While I may be new to the Rover platform and the area, I’m certainly not new to pet care. I grew up in a household with three dogs and currently help care for my family’s Yorkipoo, so I’m well-versed in the daily responsibilities and emotional needs that come with pet ownership. Additionally, I’ve looked after the dogs of friends and coworkers, gaining valuable experience in adapting to various routines, behavioral quirks, and care preferences. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be a big decision, and I take that trust seriously. Whether your dog needs gentle attention in their senior years, high-energy playtime, or just a reliable companion while you're away, I’m committed to treating your pet like family—with patience, love, and respect. I may be new to this platform, but I’m not new to providing quality, compassionate care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. As a graduate student with a structured academic schedule and no outside employment, I have consistent availability throughout the week. I am in class from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM every Monday through Thursday, which allows me to reliably plan and commit to care outside those hours. I have large blocks of free time during weekday evenings and throughout the weekends, which I dedicate to providing extended care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to accommodate a range of care needs, including early morning or evening visits, depending on your pet’s routine. I understand how vital consistency and engagement are in pet care, and I’m committed to offering dependable, attentive, and compassionate service. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority while you're away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when providing drop-in visits and walks for your pet. During drop-in visits, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment, following your instructions for feeding, playtime, or administering medication if needed. I’m attentive to their needs, providing companionship and keeping them happy while you’re away. On walks, I prioritize your pet’s safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, sticking to familiar routes, and staying alert to any potential hazards. I tailor each walk to match your dog’s energy level, ensuring they get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation. With my attention to detail and genuine love for animals, you can trust your pet will be in good hands during every visit or walk.

“Thank you so much for walking Zoey faithfully everyday and sending all the photos - and especially for responding to and accepting my request so quickly when my previously booked dog walker had to cancel at the last minute. Zoey will miss you and probably be looking for you for several days ;-)”
