Dog Walking Uplands

About: So many Doggies sat & spoiled via Rover so far! My dog care began with my precious little long-haired Mini daschund, from 6 weeks old, through his senior years, till he was 15❤️ Being a little guy, he needed frequent walks. Being spoiled and adorable, he needed lots of attention! I learned to train dogs from Caesar Milan, and reading books since I was a kid. I grew up with Boxers in the family. I helped train and care for a pack of French bulldogs for friends. I have frequently been the overnight doggy-sitter for friends & repeat Rover clients. Young & old Labs, young & old Pitties, an energetic Bull Terrior, double dogs, medium-sized mutts, Aussie Shepard. I also got to spend 3 years with a super smart Corgi roommate, often helping take care of him. I'm experienced with lots of doggies with separation anxiety, and special training needed for walks. *Medication giving *Immediate household stain removal cleanup *Communication frequencies & positivity *Cuddles, (or not if dog just needs me nearby) *Frequent walk availability *Baths *Runs - parks - beach *Training *Overnight stays I freelance, so I am available to devote my time to your Fur Baby. I don't have to spend the night if you only need me to hang out while you're working your 9-5, or out enjoying your vacation. I love to spend a day doggie-sitting, cuddling, walking, running, and getting my doggie fix in as well! Playing with dogs is the best part-time gig ever! Your Fur Baby will get lots of cuddles and baby talk between as many frequent walks/runs/outing breaks as they need. Movie watching, couch cuddles are the best :) I will come to you so your pup can stay comfy in their familiar space. I'm respectful of people's property, rules, & I'm a neat freak, so you will return to a clean home!

About: Hi, Im Alexa! I am 26 and I’m from Indiana. I moved to Florida just recently and I currently work part time and would love to meet new furry friends. I have always loved animals and have had many pets during my life. I have had 4 cats, 2 dogs, and rabbits, hamsters, and birds. I have gained most of my experience dog sitting through my family members. I currently take care of my cousins’ golden doodle and cocker spaniel twice a year since 2020. I have also dog sat my grandparents’ corgi multiple times. I do have some experience farm sitting for rabbits and chickens as well. I am open to whatever needs are necessary for keeping your pets happy and look forward to meeting them. :) I am currently working part time, 4 days a week for around 5 hours a day. I am available 3 days out of the week or longer if my part time schedule will not affect the sitting. If any questions about scheduling please feel free to reach out. :) Your wish is my command! Whatever is necessary to keeping your pets happy and healthy, I am willing to do! Walks, lots of potty breaks, food schedules, medication, cuddles, etc. As long as everything is noted, I am happy to be there

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets! From feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime to making sure they feel loved and comfortable, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Gus, who keeps me on my toes and has given me plenty of experience with active, energetic pups! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make it a priority to give them the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn off some energy, a quick check-in during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind! I work in real estate and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of updates while you’re away!

“Chelsea is super kind and welcoming! She has a lot of healthcare and animal knowledge/experience. I work in the veterinary field and feel confident leaving Jinx in her care!”

I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable care whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I've owned and trained large and small dogs for more than 20 years. I love meeting and caring for others pets as well as my own! My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate almost all requests! I only work two days of the week in the office and those can be rotated to fit most schedules. I have two pet parks in my neighborhood and a lot of places to walk and play. I do prefer a more quiet and low energy atmosphere to keep pets calm and happy.

“My dogs love Brody! He is so sweet to them and they behave very well for him.”

About: Hi, I'm Cristine! I am a dog lover who adopted a Jack Terrier/Dachsund mix named Rocco, who is currently 4 years old. I work from home everyday and enjoy walking my dog and spending time with him at home or at the dog park. I have grown up most of my life with family dogs and I've watched numerous family/friends' dogs while they've been out of town. I can handle almost any dog sitting/walking needs. Rocco loves having dog company. He gets along great with any dogs that he meets. Being a dog owner, I understand the predicament when going out of town and needing someone to watch Rocco. I, like most other dog owners, would prefer my dog in a loving and fun environment instead of being boarded in a kennel. I'm willing to send pictures and updates as requested. I can't wait to meet your pooch !!!

About: I am a lover of all animals, furry, feathered & scaly. Seriously, ALL animals! I’m that lady that will stop to assist a turtle crossing the road. I’ve volunteered to rescue injured birds while at the beach, saved a green anole lizard from a hard freeze, fostered close to a dozen cats til they found their fur-ever homes, rescued a baby red-eared slider turtle the size of a quarter from the middle of the road and raised him to be happy and healthy until he was big and strong enough to be safely returned to the pond. I have no fear of animals. I truly understand and listen to them and know how to read their body language. I often understand animals better than people ☺️ I will always go out of my way for animals. I’m not talking about just wanting to stop and pet every dog or cat I see and give it hugs and kisses…I definitely do! ….but truly doing whatever I can to better their lives. I got my first cat when I was 7 years old, and since then have personally rescued and loved more than 20 kitties, and 2 dogs. I’ve owned and maintained multiple freshwater aquariums. Cared for birds, lizards and snakes. I have experience with dog and cat training, solving behavioral issues, and administering medicine whether it be a pill or injections. I have a very flexible schedule. I host music, bingo, and trivia nights a couple days a week around town. I also work as a stage hand, setting up lighting sound, and sets for concerts and events. Several times a year I work at our local Renaissance festivals. In between all of that and caring for your fur babies, I’m also an artist. I’m not able to board animals in my home unless in very specific circumstances due to the size of my space and the other animals in my home. I have four cats of my own and they’re my life and my whole world, but I will give your fur babies, the same love and attention that I give to my own.

About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.

Would you like me to have a slumber party with them? Even better! I love sleep overs! I have had dogs my entire life so I know how to deal with the many personalities of our furry friends. I will love and take care of your dog as if they were my own furry best friend!! You can trust and know that your dog will get tons of love under my care. Can’t wait to meet you & your dog!

About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.

I am an honest, caring and loving pet owner who loves to take care of other people’s animals when they are in need. I can stop in to check on your Animals up to 4 times a day if needed.
