Dog Walking Tar Corner

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have experience with all ages and senior care, as my childhood dog is now 13, and I frequently pet sit and care for her. I have taken care of family and friends dogs as well, from the ages of puppies all the way to senior. With always being around various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I have learned many things throughout the years. I have experience walking reactive and nonreactive dogs. As well as, bathing, playtime, potty breaks on and off leash, and, of course, giving lots of love and snuggles! I also have experience giving pills if needed. I would love to help with any needs you and your babies may have! I am currently free almost any day and time during the week. I am an ultrasound technician, and I am taking a break from working full time. I stay home and care for our home, and get to love on my doggy in the meantime. I have lots of availability to help out anyone who is looking for a caring person who will give their baby lots of love, and care for their unique needs. My dog Chili is a two year old rescue who was previously abused and became a stray. We had to help her overcome her anxiety through trust and training. We trained her to walk and potty on a leash, crate training, dog and people socialization, commands, and to be off leash. I have learned lots of patience and training skills to help her become comfortable with us and others. Now she is my little velcro dog and protector haha! I have learned throughout the years to always earn a dog’s trust to help ease any anxiety when meeting them. Boundaries are very important to me as well. If any are stated to me, they will be upheld. I appreciate those that listen to mine, so I will always listen to others.

I am a cancer survivor and decided to have a lifestyle change to do what we love to do most: Taking care of animals and moved from the city to the country. It was the best decision of our lives. Working with dogs / furry pets is not a job but passion for us. It’s very therapeutic for us to spend our days in the nature with the most beautiful creatures in the world. I just love what I do and take pride in how I feel and speak their language and understand their phycology. I work from home and there’s almost always someone is in the house. My house is dog proof for them to roam around all day which usually they follow us everywhere. Dog paradise retreat not a regular dog sitting. Animals are my passion. I work full-time for taking care of animals from home and caring for animals is my lifestyle. I provide all needs including medication, water, walks, and tender, love and care. Our property is a pet retreat. This is not a regular dog sitting place. I created safe fenced doggie parks on our horse ranch to provide the ultimate fun and comfort for pets to not to experience separation anxiety from their furry parents. Our house is pet/child proof. I am dedicated to give the best environment of love and joy to animals they deserve. This is a passion for me. Tidy Setup: Fenced areas for dogs to run.

This includes a private space with an indoor barn, play area, and fenced pen. Indoors, two small, friendly therapy and service dogs reside with lots of room to roam.

About: I have grown up with an assortment of childhood pets. Over the years I've cared for a number of cats, dogs, hampsters, rabbits, turtles, birds, frogs, guinea pigs, fish, etc. I have been house/dog/cat sitting for family and friends for over 5 years. In the past I have been responsible for administering flea medicine and ear drops, giving oral medications, filling bird & hummingbird feeders and even feeding the raccoons & squirrels! I am a realtor so I have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pets in the morning, let them out during the day and spend the evening with them. My availability is open on the weekends where I will be spending all of my time hanging out with your furry family Family and friends of mine have asked me to house/pet sit while they were away on business or vacation and I realized how much I enjoyed looking after other people's homes and animals, giving them the comfort and relief of knowing they have trusted friends to watch over their home, water their plants, and make sure their pets can stay comfortable and properly taken care of right at home. As this happened more frequently I thought why not extend my services to others in my community who could use a helping hand. I am a reliable, honest, trustworthy person who would love to give you peace of mind by looking after your pets and taking care of your home just as I would my own while you enjoy your travels worry free. Thanks to Rover, I have also been able to find clients that would rather board their pets at my home. Your pets are welcome on the couches and in the bed to sleep. I live in a lovely walkable neighborhood if that's what your pets like to do. I have a food and water bowl here for them. Just bring their favorite toys/bed/treats. I also have plenty of room for a crate (if needed). I want them to feel just as relaxed and comfortable at my home as they do at their own. I know you'll be missing them so I'm always happy to FaceTime or send pictures while you're away! I'm excited to help and can't wait to meet you and your pets!

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.
