“Shanna was the best! She took great care of our energetic labs! We enjoyed the updates and pictures throughout their stay. Goose and Tater clearly enjoyed themselves. I’m certain they will look forward to staying with her again! Shanna is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. You can rest easy that your pet is in capable hands!”
“Brooke is great, you will have nothing to worry about leaving your dog with her! It is not easy for me to leave our dog with anyone, but I would definitely request a stay for her with Brooke again!”
“Christopher was very sweet and attentive to Turkey. He sent me updates and pictures while I was away. Turkey had a great time and loved playing with other friends!”
“Arlene was amazing! Our dog, Tucker, is 10 years old and is very much a people person dog and since she has an older dog as well, I thought the two dogs would get along very well. Arlene and her husband worked together and made Tucker's stay with them a vacation too. I received videos, pictures, and frequent text communication all showing Tucker having a great time! Seeing all the pics and videos made for a wonderful vacation in our end Nevada we weren't worried about if Tucker was OK and being treated well. I highly recommend Arlene and her husband for your pet's stay. Thank you Arlene and John!”
“Kristal was great! Right off the bat, she was understanding when my shift ended late and I had to bring the dogs later than planned. Being our first time ever leaving our dogs somewhere, we were nervous, but she sent us pictures and videos of our boys. She even bathed them before pick up. We will definitely be sure to book with her again. They boys seem to have loved the large space to run around and other dogs to play with!”
“Lutisa was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. She sent daily pictures and updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog had plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It’s clear that Lutisa truly loves what she does. I will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations! ♥️ Bethune”
“Pixie had an amazing time with Starla and her kids during her first stay with Rover. Starla gave Pixie extra attention, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Her kids were incredibly sweet, showing Pixie lots of care and affection. It truly felt like Pixie had a wonderful time with them.. I am sure will use starla rover again and again..”
About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“Our dogs are pretty hard headed and hard to get along with, but they loved Brittany. From the first meet & greet all the way through the boarding, they were loved and valued as if they were her own dogs! She gave us so many photos and updates so we were always in-the-know on how our dogs were doing. Brittany is so thoughtful she noticed one dog had some bad dry skin so she gave her an oatmeal bath to make her more comfortable. We will definitely be contacting Brittany again!”
“Melany watched my guy for a night to ease him into longer stays. He looked happy in the pics she sent and he was also his regular self when he came home and didn’t have that stress/ exhaustion crash dogs sometimes get while being away. So, I felt like he was safe, well cared for and had a relaxing environment while with her. Thanks again!”
“Gina took great care of Henry and kept me updated with pictures and videos! Henry was so comfortable there and I could tell he was very loved! Will definitely book with Gina again!”
“Talia did an amazing job caring for Dino. She sent photos and descriptions of their time together, making him part of her family. Dog parks, long walk and playtime with her family’s pet were just part of their routine. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. And he smelled great when I picked him up! She bathed him (which is no easy task.)”
“Hayley was essential in taking care of Bronson with so much love and attention. I took an international trip and felt completely at ease knowing he was being well cared for. We will definitely come back again.”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, but as an adult I gained more experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rodents and reptiles. I currently have a senior chihuahua who is 16 years old, a 1 year old chihuahua, a 3 year old border collie mix, as well as 2 cats. I have professional experience with dogs of all sizes, and have cared for a variety of pets. I stay up to date with researching animal behavior and health and feel comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I get off at 4pm on weekdays and never work weekends or holidays, giving me lots of availability to care for your pets! If you book a boarding or daycare service with me on the weekend, I will be home to provide frequent potty breaks and exercise as well as all the belly rubs they might want. I offer check-ins at the client’s home as well as boarding at my home. If boarding your pet at my house, it is important to know I have dogs and cats if my own as well as a young child. I am happy to discuss all requests and rules related to caring for your pet, as I see them as family! I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver that will take your pets on safe walks, feed them the appropriate amount, and ensure their needs are met. I have a large fenced in yard allowing pets to get plenty of exercise while I watch them.
“10 out of 10!! Super accommodating! And super loving to my only child. Lots of pictures and was open to keeping him an extra day due to my fight being canceled. I didn't have to worry about him at all! Cooper will be back! Thank you!!”
“Christina was an amazing host to our family dog Muna. I really appreciated all the pictures while we were on vacation. She was very nice and treated Muna with great care like her own. Would highly recommend to anyone to book with her.”
“Amazing I will definitely use Jasmin again ! She was a true gem she did two updates a day. She sent photos and she was so easy to communicate with she was understanding when a ran a little behind she was great with Dane.”

“Bear's picture is so cute again today! He looks very happy and relaxed and he wasn't stressed at all when we got home yesterday. Sounds like Charlie is the right fit for this little dog! Thank you Charlie!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 13 years. No kids and or animals at home. I love animals and welcome cats and dogs of any size or breed. I live walking distance from a soccer field with a great track for walks. Both of my senior dogs crossed the rainbow bridge recently and before their passing we had a nice routine going. I work nearby and will come home on my breaks to check on the pups and take them out on pee breaks. I have Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, which I normally spend at home or on hikes at local parks. I do not have a fenced in yard. However, I have no issue with pets on the furniture and I have a spare room for crates.
“First time using Rover, and I'm so glad a friend recommended it! Tricia has great communication and attention to detail. She asked questions and everything was great when I got back from my trip. My elderly cat was well cared for. I will definitely book Tricia again!”
“Chris is a very pleasant young man who immediately befriended my cat, Lucille. To me this is the important thing, that the animal is comfortable with their caregiver. She also looked happy in her pictures,. Chris sent a report every day, listing the things he'd done. He even double-checked the storm door when I told him I couldn't remember it was unlocked so he could drop the key through the mail slot, and brought in a couple of packages that had been delivered on the porch. I would highly recommend Chris for your cat sitting needs.”
“This was our first time using a sitter, and I must say how happy we are having Courtnie taking care of our baby! Normally, our baby will hide from people, but not with Courtnie. Animals know who is kind and gentle, and Courtnie is. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her for future needs. Thanks Courtnie!”
“I am so thankful we were able to find Valerie to look after our babies. She sent updates, photos, and video providing us peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely choose her again and again.”
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Emma was great with my diabetic cat! She communicated well, and voiced her questions/concerns rather than assuming. My cat also loved her, will definitely be asking her to take care of him again.”
About: I started off with cats which I even mentioned in my dog profile. We got our first cat when i was In 1st grade. His name was laces and honestly amazing. I started Training him little tricks because i just wanted to train everything. My second childhood cat was Rico! He was my SPCA rescue ! The seeetest of them all! When i went Off to college i then had another cat alongside my dog Omega, Romeo was the best. It is a goal of mine to get another one day but my house has just been taken over with dogs, which is why i wont house a cat. I know they wont be comfortable and i dont want my dogs to get hurt. True cat owners know they can handle their own. I’d love to be able to take a break from the rah rah go go go of my dog life to relax with some cool cats and make sure all of their needs are met.
About: I am custom to all dog types, every pet is treated with peace, love, & care. I have had only big breeds as my own, the only big I see is big baby! Lol I can handle a sour patch 🤍🐾 Pet care is part of my daily routine making time for feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and plenty of attention to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved. 🐾 I have extensive experience in pet care, specifically with dogs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various aspects of dog care, which are crucial for a beginner dog walker to understand. Here are the key areas of my experience: 1. Understanding Dog Behavior: • Recognizing different dog temperaments and behaviors. • Identifying signs of stress, anxiety, and aggression. • Understanding body language and vocalizations. 2. Handling and Walking Dogs: • Using proper leash techniques to ensure control and safety. • Managing multiple dogs at once, keeping them calm and orderly. • Navigating different environments, such as parks, streets, and busy areas. 3. Basic Training and Commands: • Teaching and reinforcing basic commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. • Using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior. • Addressing common behavioral issues like pulling on the leash or barking excessively. 4. Health and Safety: • Recognizing common health issues, such as overheating, dehydration, and injuries. • Administering basic first aid and knowing when to seek veterinary care. • Ensuring dogs have access to clean water and are protected from extreme weather conditions. 5. Socialization: • Introducing dogs to new people and other dogs in a controlled manner. • Ensuring positive interactions and preventing conflicts. • Understanding the importance of regular socialization for a dog’s well-being. 6. Exercise and Play: • Providing appropriate levels of exercise based on the dog’s age, breed, and health. • Engaging dogs in stimulating activities to keep them mentally and physically active. • Using toys and games to make walks enjoyable and enriching. 7. Routine Care: • Maintaining a consistent walking schedule to meet the dog’s needs. • Ensuring cleanliness by picking up after the dog and disposing of waste properly. • Monitoring the dog’s overall condition and reporting any concerns to the owner. 8. Communication with Owners: • Providing regular updates on the dog’s behavior, health, and activities. • Listening to and addressing any specific concerns or requests from the owners. • Building trust and a strong relationship with both the dog and the owner. By understanding and applying these principles, I ensure that the dogs in my care are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and a genuine love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for any successful dog walker.
About: I have fostered a lot of cats. They have a soft spot in my heart. I think I’m personally good at reading a cat’s body language because their personalities can definitely range from the crazy orange tabby to the judgey calico or the lazy Persian 😂. I’ve never trained a cat but am a reliable litter box cleaner.
“Great experience with Gina. She was very responsive and arrived on time and gave a few tips for us. Provided some pictures of Kico and gave us peace of mine knowing kico was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life and have years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and helping with daily pet care like feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I focus on providing reliable, attentive care and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“She is a joy and my fur baby is obsessed with her Yorkie. I appreciate that she has experience with epileptic dogs. My dog has seizures and I trust her to care and comfort my dog as she goes through them. Thankfully she hasn’t had one under the care of Sanya. However, I trust Sanya, is what I’m trying to say. Thanks for all you do. Maggie loves you.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats well over 40 years. This includes small and large animals of many breeds including young animals and also seniors with temperaments as well. I'm a dedicated animal lover with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats and other animals as well. I currently work from home so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and allow potty breaks as needed as well. I have a fenced back yard and two friendly animals (cat and dog) to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable while being cared for. I will also provide companionship, cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities and my goal is to treat every pet s if they were my own, giving their owners peace while away and knowing they will be in good hands.
About: As a retired teacher, creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment is second nature to me—and that extends to every pet in my care. My home sits on a beautiful lake with large grassy areas, giving your dog plenty of space to explore, play, and relax on leash or off. I have both a female Boykin Spaniel dog and a female Snow Hylander cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. Whether your pet loves outdoor time, quiet companionship, or a consistent routine, I strive to make them feel right at home. Your baby needs to be cat and dog friendly. I will administer prescribed medications as needed. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for in a comfortable, stress-free environment. I am a retired teacher and am home to love and care for your pet while you enjoy your time away. My schedule is flexible to meet your pet's needs. I live on the lake and have a large grassy area for your baby to play and explore with my dog on or off the leash. Inside the home, space will be also be shared with my cat. So, your baby will need to be cat friendly as well. We have a relaxed environment, but I am willing to adjust to your dog's routine as needed.
“I cannot say enough good things about this pet sitter. Chris truly went above and beyond—constant communication, thoughtful updates, extra attention to my Gracie, and genuine care. Gracie totally adored him, and I felt completely at ease while I was away from her. A wonderful experience from start to finish.”
“Bentley had a great time with Abriana and her dogs! She accomodated our specific requests graciously. She spent time helping him get acquainted with her property and animals. She sent us updates and photos while we were at the NC Zoo. Bentley was more content than anxious at pick-up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Melany took great care of Maggie, I got multiple picture updates and Melany has been very responsive and flexible for pick up and drop off time. Will have Maggie stay with her again next time I’m in the area.”
“Rachelle and Christopher are so great with my girls. I can tell how much they love my dogs by how excited my dogs get when we arrive each week. Thank you for loving them like family!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.

I do start school in august but even then i will be available everyday except for tuesdays and thursdays. i don't have a fenced in backyard but it is pretty spacious so if your pet likes to run they will enjoy it! i have an in ground leash that is long enough for them to run around all they like.
“Thank you Erica & Christian for keeping Luna entertained for the day. I could tell, from the pics you sent, that she had a fun time and even made new friends. I know she'll be excited to see you all in a month!”
“Sent tons of pictures of my pup. Took a lot of stress off my day and picked up/dropped off on time. Will definitely use her again. Her dogs are gentle giants and did great with jazzy.”
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
“Chelsey is amazing and was an absolute lifesaver! I unexpectedly had to work remotely out of town and needed last minute help with my dog. I messaged her early that morning on a whim, and she responded immediately. She even came to pick my dog up so I could clock in at a decent time, which meant so much. She kept my dog all day, took her on two walks, gave her play time, plenty of potty breaks, and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. When I picked her up, my dog was SO happy and playing with the other dogs which is huge because she’s not always the best with other dogs. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsey for all your fur babies’ needs and will absolutely be using her services again in the future whenever possible!”

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5.

If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit!

About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines. Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch. However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

I plan my day around making sure the pets I’m watching are comfortable, exercised, and cared for. On a weekly basis, I maintain a consistent routine so pets have structure, including regular walks, playtime, and relaxation time, helping them feel safe and at home while their owners are away. 🐶🌿 I have a big fenced in backyard with a dog house and heaters and ac when it’s hot out there.

About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
About: I have a dog of my own that I love to take walks with. I also love going out and running around with him or throwing the frisbee to him. I have dog-sat for my friend in the past and it went very well. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I am someone who loves to be outside and around animals. This is something that will feel natural and mesh well with my life. I will not be able to care for the dogs at my own home due to my childhood dog living there and jealousy/protectiveness being one of his main traits. Although the clients home would be perfect for me. I like to keep dogs on their everyday routine. For example, letting them out typically whenever they usually go outside. Feeding them around the same time the owners do. I am younger so I love to run around with the dogs. I will play with all of their toys with them. I can also chill out, lay down, and pet the dog!
About: I am custom to all dog types, every pet is treated with peace, love, & care. I have had only big breeds as my own, the only big I see is big baby! Lol I can handle a sour patch 🤍🐾 Pet care is part of my daily routine making time for feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and plenty of attention to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved. 🐾 I have extensive experience in pet care, specifically with dogs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various aspects of dog care, which are crucial for a beginner dog walker to understand. Here are the key areas of my experience: 1. Understanding Dog Behavior: • Recognizing different dog temperaments and behaviors. • Identifying signs of stress, anxiety, and aggression. • Understanding body language and vocalizations. 2. Handling and Walking Dogs: • Using proper leash techniques to ensure control and safety. • Managing multiple dogs at once, keeping them calm and orderly. • Navigating different environments, such as parks, streets, and busy areas. 3. Basic Training and Commands: • Teaching and reinforcing basic commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. • Using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior. • Addressing common behavioral issues like pulling on the leash or barking excessively. 4. Health and Safety: • Recognizing common health issues, such as overheating, dehydration, and injuries. • Administering basic first aid and knowing when to seek veterinary care. • Ensuring dogs have access to clean water and are protected from extreme weather conditions. 5. Socialization: • Introducing dogs to new people and other dogs in a controlled manner. • Ensuring positive interactions and preventing conflicts. • Understanding the importance of regular socialization for a dog’s well-being. 6. Exercise and Play: • Providing appropriate levels of exercise based on the dog’s age, breed, and health. • Engaging dogs in stimulating activities to keep them mentally and physically active. • Using toys and games to make walks enjoyable and enriching. 7. Routine Care: • Maintaining a consistent walking schedule to meet the dog’s needs. • Ensuring cleanliness by picking up after the dog and disposing of waste properly. • Monitoring the dog’s overall condition and reporting any concerns to the owner. 8. Communication with Owners: • Providing regular updates on the dog’s behavior, health, and activities. • Listening to and addressing any specific concerns or requests from the owners. • Building trust and a strong relationship with both the dog and the owner. By understanding and applying these principles, I ensure that the dogs in my care are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and a genuine love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for any successful dog walker.

“Our dogs are pretty hard headed and hard to get along with, but they loved Brittany. From the first meet & greet all the way through the boarding, they were loved and valued as if they were her own dogs! She gave us so many photos and updates so we were always in-the-know on how our dogs were doing. Brittany is so thoughtful she noticed one dog had some bad dry skin so she gave her an oatmeal bath to make her more comfortable. We will definitely be contacting Brittany again!”
“Melany watched my guy for a night to ease him into longer stays. He looked happy in the pics she sent and he was also his regular self when he came home and didn’t have that stress/ exhaustion crash dogs sometimes get while being away. So, I felt like he was safe, well cared for and had a relaxing environment while with her. Thanks again!”
“Talia did an amazing job caring for Dino. She sent photos and descriptions of their time together, making him part of her family.

She bathed him (which is no easy task.)”

“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding.

“So grateful to you both for taking Harry in this past weekend and sharing your home! Harry clearly enjoyed his stay and is looking forward to returning soon!”
“Robin is experienced and trustworthy. We loved the big fenced in back yard and ample inside room for our pups while we were out of town. I was emotional leaving my babies but knew they were in great hands. Photos and videos while we were gone and texting communication was spot on. We will definitely be booking again when needed.”
“I was hesitant leaving my pup with a stranger but Morgan had amazing reviews and communicated well while I was on a business trip. Put my heart at ease. Will definitely reach out to her again!”
