Dog Walking Startex

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises

“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”

About: I grew up with animals ranging from cats all the way up to horses. I grew up with jack russell terriers, so dogs with a little extra “personality” do not bother me! I love dogs of all sizes and have a very good understanding of dog behavior, body language, and overall knowledge. I am CPR certified for animals as well! I am newly married to the love of my life, but unfortunately I have been battling some ongoing health problems and had to quit my full time job at a local dog daycare/boarding facility, and it broke my heart. This allows me to help my husband with our bills, focus on my health and doctor’s appointments, but I still get to work with animals which has always been my passion. Whatever needs your pet requires, they will each be met. Each pet’s care will be personally tailored to their specific needs, personality, and their wants.

However, our house is very pet friendly and open for your pet to make themselves at home.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about eleven years old. Growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and my love for animals led me to start volunteering at a local shelter when I was young. What began as a childhood dream quickly turned into a lifelong passion. Through years of volunteering and hands-on experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. Spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is something that truly brings me joy. My passion for animal care has only grown stronger over the years, and I would love the opportunity to share that dedication with you by helping care for your pets and making sure they’re happy while you’re away ☺️🐾 I’m currently in nursing school and pet sitting through Rover full-time. Since most of my studying is done from home, I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. It’s the perfect balance for me—I get to focus on my studies while also caring for and snuggling with the amazing pets I’m trusted to watch. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!! 🥰 I have several years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, and volunteering at animal shelters, along with caring for pets of my own. These experiences have taught me how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I maintain a consistent routine and stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment so that your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for at all times!! 🐾💕

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.

About: Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile. About me: I’m currently a stay-at-home mom who chose not to go back to a full time position, as I need a break from nearly 20 years in Corporate Marketing. My love for animals and staying active throughout the day has led me to Rover. I’ve raised dogs and cats all of my adult life. From kittens, puppies, Pekingese, Pugs, to 95 pound Boxers, you name it, and I’ve probably raised it! I’m an active individual, so I love to be “out and about” and enjoy walks - I can do it all while you are away. If you need help with puppy training, or a kitten house check while you’re at work, I will make sure their needs are met and provide companionship. Aside from animals, I love gardening and decorating my home, so I have many projects on my hands to keep me busy through the day. I have a wonderful husband and a 7-year-old who fills my weekends with joy! If you need housesitting, (watering plants, etc.), while you’re away, I will help and will not charge any fees. You can consider me your “house sitter” the next time you go away! As a stay-at-home mom, my son is in 1st grade the majority of the day. I am available pretty much all day and into the evening hours. My days are routine and structured, so I would take the same approach with your pets. Unfortunately, I cannot sit overnight. Making sure your pets have their needs met is my first priority. This includes feeding, walking, and companionship to keep them happy when you’re not around.

“Sara was available on such short notice and really saved the day! I was delayed getting home after a flat and knew my pooch might not make it until then. Easy to communicate with and got the job done!”
