Dog Walking Troy

“Very professional! She always arrived on time, gave them good long walks, took pics of their walks, she was even kind to let me know about their bowel movements and health state when applicable, both doggies always returned happy and exercised and looked like they both enjoyed a lot their walks with Gabriela. Highly recommend her a lot!!”

About: I adopted my dog, Leia, in 2018, and my cat, Scourge, in 2020. Leia has had her share of health issues so I am familiar with administering medication, specialized diets, etc. I also previously had guinea pigs. 🐹 I am excited to get to know your pets! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am only available on the weekends. But during the summer, I am available any day or time, pretty much! We have a large unfenced yard. So I will keep your pet leashed while outside. Our neighborhood is also perfect for long walks. We have pet gates throughout our home

“Lovely couple. You can tell they love/ had dogs in their lives. I trust them with Juniper completely. You can always tell by the behavior of your dog, when you pick her up, if it was ok or not. Junie is always coming home happy & joyously looking forward to meet them whenever she sees them again 🩷🩷🩷”

About: For 10 years, one family trusted me with their kids and their dogs, and I’d love to earn that same trust from you. I cared for their dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. That meant meals, walks, potty training, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Beyond that family, I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs over the years, which taught me that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of every age, size, and energy level, from rambunctious puppies to laid-back seniors and nervous pups who need a gentle, patient approach. My schedule is fully open, so I can work around your plans, keep your dog’s routine just the way they like it, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

“Thank you so much!!”

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of professional experience, I am dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate pet care. I have cared for animals since I was around 6 years old and officially began offering professional pet sitting services through Rover in February 2018. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many beloved pets and building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats has helped me develop a natural understanding of animal behavior, body language, and emotional needs from an early age. Caring for animals has always felt like my true calling, and I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment for every pet in my care. I founded and operated a local animal rescue organization, where I coordinated care initiatives and collaborated with volunteers and established rescue groups to support animal welfare, rehabilitation, and rehoming efforts. I bring six years of professional experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, with specialized expertise in small mammals, reptiles, invertebrates, fish, and neonatal kitten care. --------------------------------------------------------- Certifications & Specialized Training I continuously expand my knowledge to provide the highest quality care possible. My certifications include but are not limited to: -Pet First Aid & CPR Certification -Pet First Aid Certification -Pet Psychology Certification -Pet Sitting Certification -Pet Nutrition Certification -Dog Grooming Certification -Complete Pet Care Certification -Introduction to Being a Dog Trainer Certification -Animal Physiotherapy Certification -Animal Reiki Certification -Canine Communication Certification -Introduction to Cat Behavior Certification -Introduction to Reptile Care Certification -Learn to Communicate with Animals and Nature Certification -Advanced Animal Care Certification --------------------------------------------------------- About My Care & Schedule Pet sitting is my full-time career, allowing me to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. I am very much a homebody, which means your pet will spend the majority of their stay in a calm, supervised, and comfortable environment with plenty of companionship and attention. My schedule is moderately flexible, though I ask clients to keep drop-off and pick-up windows within a one-hour timeframe whenever possible. Timeliness is greatly appreciated, as I reserve these periods specifically for client transitions. Schedule changes should be requested at least 24 hours in advance whenever possible. Delays exceeding one hour may result in a $20 late fee. --------------------------------------------------------- Important Notes for Daycare Clients Daycare for dogs requiring constant supervision is currently available during evening hours only. If your dog cannot comfortably be left alone for 2–4 hours, I may not be the best fit for daytime daycare services. --------------------------------------------------------- Meet & Greets A meet and greet is required prior to all first-time bookings to ensure compatibility and help your pet become comfortable with me, my home, and my resident pets. Each new client receives one complimentary 45-minute meet and greet. Additional meet and greets are available for a $15 fee per session. --------------------------------------------------------- Daily Updates I provide at least one daily update including 2–5 photos or videos, though many clients receive additional updates throughout their pet’s stay. I am happy to accommodate reasonable communication preferences discussed during the meet and greet. --------------------------------------------------------- Rates & Policies My rates are firm and reflect the level of care, experience, supervision, and accommodations I provide. I do not offer discounts, price matching, or negotiated pricing. --------------------------------------------------------- Safety & Home Environment Safety is one of my highest priorities. I have created a dedicated, dog-proofed area within my home designed specifically for pet care and supervision. My home includes: -Child safety locks on cabinets, closets, stove knobs, and oven doors -Secured gates creating multiple safety barriers near exits -Pet monitoring cameras for continuous supervision -Multiple crate sizes available if needed or in case of emergencies -A large fenced yard for safe exercise and play -Additional long-lead safety systems for small dogs or escape-prone dogs -Climate-controlled indoor areas with monitored temperatures -Thorough sanitation of all pet areas, bowls, toys, crates, and surfaces Pets are never left unsupervised outdoors, and outdoor time is carefully monitored during warmer temperatures to prevent overheating, especially for brachycephalic or heat-sensitive breeds. Inside, dogs enjoy a spacious, comfortable environment complete with dog beds, a twin mattress lounge area, toys, chews, and individualized storage for belongings and food. All pets are fed separately to safely monitor eating habits and prevent food guarding or accidental food sharing. --------------------------------------------------------- Medical & Special Needs Experience I am certified in pet first aid and CPR and experienced with administering oral and injectable medications. I also have hands-on experience caring for: -Senior dogs -Dogs with separation anxiety -Deaf or blind dogs -Tripod dogs -Dogs with mobility challenges or rear-end paralysis -Fearful or skittish dogs -Dogs with incontinence issues I closely monitor every pet’s appetite, hydration, bathroom habits, activity level, and overall behavior to quickly identify any potential concerns. I also maintain 24/7 access to transportation in the event veterinary care is needed during your pet’s stay. --------------------------------------------------------- Multi-Dog Household & Socialization I maintain a structured and carefully managed pack environment and may care for up to 5-7 dogs from different households at one time. Every dog is thoroughly screened and introduced slowly and safely to ensure compatibility and positive interactions. My home also includes two indoor cats. Dogs are introduced carefully to ensure appropriate behavior around cats. Additional small pets are securely housed in dog-free areas and are never directly interacted with by visiting dogs. --------------------------------------------------------- Additional Services Offered Per request pending additional service fees: -Transportation to and from my home (additional fee based on distance) -Sanitary baths -Nail trimming -Basic maintenance brushing and coat blow-outs For transportation, dogs must wear a properly fitted harness for safe vehicle restraint. Grooming services are limited to basic maintenance and are only performed if your pet is comfortable and cooperative during the process. Above all, my goal is to provide a safe, structured, loving, and low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away. I am a full-time pet sitter, so caring for animals is my primary focus and fits naturally into my daily routine. Because I spend most of my time at home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I am only away for short periods to complete errands or provide scheduled drop-in visits for other clients. Safety is a cornerstone of my pet-sitting approach. I hold multiple certifications, including Pet First Aid and CPR, along with additional training in the care of a variety of animal species. I also bring six years of professional experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, which has strengthened my ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of animal needs and behaviors. I provide a secure, pet-proofed room designed for dogs to safely play, relax, and feel comfortable. To further ensure a safe environment, I use nanny cameras to monitor pets when I am in other areas of the home or away on errands, helping me maintain attentive oversight at all times.

“Samantha takes such good care of our dog. She is very reliable, professional and caring. We know Maggie is in good hands during the bookings. We cannot recommend Samantha enough!”

About: We love dogs and promise to take care of yours as if he or she was part of our family. We are happy to follow any specific instructions you may have and will do our best to provide a happy, healthy environment for your furry family member while you’re away. We are both recently retired and don’t currently have any pets so we can give yours all the attention he or she needs. We are happy to send photos and/or videos while you’re away if you like! We will make sure your dog(s) get lots of exercise, love and attention! We are retired and are available everyday - weekdays, weekends, holidays - you name it! We are completely flexible and able to work with your schedule. We can even pick up and/or drop off your fur baby if it’s more convenient for you. Just ask us - we are more than happy to help! And while our profile says that we only take ONE dog at a time, we are happy to take two or three AS LONG AS THEY ARE FROM THE SAME FAMILY. We strongly believe in making your dog’s (or dogs’) experience as close to what you provide at home. That’s why we don’t have any other animals of our own and we won’t care for multiple dogs from outside your own family. It’s safer for your dog(s) and there is much less anxiety for them when they aren’t faced with unknown dogs. We endeavor to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable and calm as possible during their stay with us. Safety first! Our entire home has been recently remodeled and is very dog friendly. We keep chemicals out of sight and behind closed doors. Our yard is fenced in and there is a lot of space to run and play. Joe is “dog-walker extraordinaire” and loves to take long or short walks any time of day.

About: Certified in Pet First Aid/CPR and training, I bring 6 years of experience working with diverse dog breeds, ages, and temperaments, ranging from shy to reactive/aggressive. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I excel in building bonds and fostering confidence. I also have some experience in cat sitting. I work full-time now, but I truly miss dog training and spending time working with dogs. On my days off, I’d love to dedicate my time to helping you and caring for your pets when you need it most. Providing reliable, attentive, and loving care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like my own. For dog sitting, I prioritize maintaining your dog's routine in their familiar environment. I prefer meeting you and your dog beforehand to understand your expectations and their daily schedule. I enjoy enriching their lives with walks and engaging activities, including training games, tricks, and enrichment puzzles. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.
