Dog Walking Vineyard

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.

“Ron has walked our dog several times during the day. We appreciate his punctuality and ability to help on short notice. He came to meet our dog before the scheduled walk and we really appreciated it. Good communication as well.”

About: My name is Mikayla - I am a behaviorist by trade (for people, not pets) and I've been a pet lover forever! I have a 9 year old Staffy/Akita/Aussie mix and a 15 year old cat at home. I will feed, play with, and walk your dog (and can also take them to the dog park for a good time if they're familiar!) I'm friendly, playful, and can be flexible with scheduling throughout the metro area from the end of June through July. Lets chat and I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I'm a public educator so I'm off work in the summer months and available most any time June- July. From August - May, I'm available in the evenings (after 4pm) most days! I'm happy to care for pets in your home and am a reliable and trustworthy pet/home sitter. I drive a Ford Escape and can transport dogs to a park nearby if desired, too.

About: Hi, I’m Chris! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent 30+ years caring for pets for friends and family and I volunteer at a local shelter as a dog walker. I work from home and now have the flexibility to spend more time doing what I love: keeping good dogs (and cats) company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and a walk they’ll look forward to. With a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer flexible, attentive care for your pup. We regularly walk around Loose Park and the Plaza and would love to include your dog. When visiting your home, I make sure each walk is tailored to your neighborhood and your dog’s routine. I provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine—feeding, exercise, and any specific preferences—so they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. In your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. Walks are attentive and controlled, with a focus on safety, awareness, and your dog’s comfort level. With my background in shelter volunteering, I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and prioritize calm, positive interactions. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.

“Cheyenne is wonderful. She is always on time and professional. More importantly my dog Grace looks forward to her walks with her. I like how she lets me know of her bathroom habits so I can monitor. Highly recommend her.”

About: Dogs & cats have been in almost every household I've been a part of since childhood. Since 2019, I've had the honor of caring for my dog, Apollo. He's a sweetheart who is also reactive to other animals, so I've learned a lot about managing his energy and am comfortable working with other animals who might have some challenging behavioral traits. I’m outgoing and energetic, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I also enjoy playtime with dogs and cats, and am happy to play fetch or dangle a string to the animal’s content. Also a sucker for cuddle time! I understand the importance of consistency in animal routines and am happy to follow whatever rules & habits you have in place for your pet. I’ve cared for animals with special needs (including special diets and medications), as well as issues hearing/seeing. I work as a freelance writer & editor, so my schedule is generally quite flexible for walks and drop-in visits. I look forward to meeting your lovely animals!

About: Hi, my name is Autumn and i have worked with dogs and other animals for over 15 years. My experience comes from working in animal hospitals, pet stores, daycare, boarding, and rescue facilities. I've also been a dog walker for about 3 years. I worked for a dog walking company for 2 years and then started my own pet care/dog walking business called Road Dogs Pet Care and Transportation. I am a single mother of two daughters (5 & 11) and dog mom of 3 older (13,13, &15), very sweet dogs. They are all very social and well behaved. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have experience doing nail trims and offer in-home nail trims. i also have experience bathing and administering medications. I take care, safety, and love very seriously and will always do my best to make sure your babe feels as comfortable and happy as possible! Profile update: Hi, a lot has changed since I first joined Rover. I no longer have my three elderly babies as they have all passed away due to old age. We now have two new additions to our family, Six and Pepper. Six is my 2 year old Border Collie/Heeler mix. She's very spunky, sweet, and playful! Pepper is our 2 1/2 yr old 7 lb. poodle. She is basically my daughters little sidekick and spends almost all of her time with her. She sometimes thinks she's a Doberman, but she's harmless and warms up quick. Once she warms up she's ready to run with the big dogs! They're both great girls and are used to new friends and visitors often. 😊 I'm home full-time and take care of my two kids, two dogs, and our aquatic turtle. Aside from running occasional errands or appointments, I'm able to give your dog or dogs all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I'm also available for daily dog walks if needed. I have a large fully fenced yard for them to run and play in. They are all inside and outside frequently throughout the day as needed or as they please. I'm happy to cater to any individual needs. 2/23/25 Update: Hi, so its now been about 23 years of working with all these amazing beautiful babes! Im still available for boarding, home drop-ins, and daily walks or potty breaks if you don’t have time or need any extra help. We have a new family member now. Marley is our newest baby girl. She is a two year old Dalmatian and she is super sweet and full of playful sweet energy! She gets along with everybody. :) So our household currently consists of Me, my partner, my two daughters (10 & 16), Six, Pepper, Marley, and Mr.B (Turtle). Also just to clarify, my name is Amber Autumn Hays. I went by Autumn when I first started my Rover Act. You can call me either. :) Please let me know if you are in need of a sitter, boarding, daycare, walks, or nail trims, and I would be happy to help! 😊🐾🐾🐾 Can't wait to meet new friends and see old ones again! Looking forward to warm weather and summertime fun! ☀️ Basically I live and breath kids and dogs and my world pretty much revolves around my kids and yours. :) I have learned a lot over the last 23 years so I am very qualified in giving your pup the care they want and need while you are away. I have a very large fully fenced in yard and 3 friendly and playful babes to keep your baby company. Everyone has free roam in the house or outside during the day. I can also kennel if need be or I only kennel at night or if I leave the house for any reason. If I come to your home, I follow any instructions you give me and the time frame that you’re needing.

About: Animals have been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember, literally since I was two! My love for them runs so deep that I even have dogs tattooed on me. 🐾 I’m a proud cat mom to Mishka, my adopted kitty, and I’ve been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family for years. I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs; from enriching walks and playtime to calm companionship, cuddles, and attentive in-home care. I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease while you’re away. That’s why I focus on dependable communication, consistency, and the little details that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Whether you’re traveling for a weekend or need ongoing support, you can count on your pet to receive the same love, attention, and high level of care I give my own. ❤️ I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for plenty of walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily work pet care into my routine and provide attentive, loving care without leaving your fur baby alone for long stretches! Your home and fur babies are in caring, trustworthy hands with me! ❤️ With my background in government security clearance, financial management, and veterinary clinic experience, I understand how important trust, responsibility, and attention to detail are. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, keeping them happy and comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, dependable, and pay close attention to the little details that matter, from following feeding schedules and exercise routines to keeping water bowls full and giving plenty of affection. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, energetic dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable and consistent for pet care. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or spending quality time with your pet, I'm happy to work around their routine. I love being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether I'm in your home or taking your dog for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while also respecting the routines they're used to. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I always treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, happy, and loved until you return.

About: Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m a passionate and caring pet lover with a knack for making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to ensure your pets get all the attention and love they need while you're away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members!" I have a 3 year Goldendoodle (Hunter) and we are very active! Walks, cuddles, playing ball in the back yard and watching the world go by out or our big front window make the world go round. I have a fenced yard, doggy door and a cute little 3 year old Goldendoodle, named Hunter, to keep your pup company and active while you're away.

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

“Hilary is amazing! She's super communicative and thoughtful. Our dog is very timid and warmed up to Hilary right away -- clearly good vibes! We went on a meet & greet walk together and it was a very good experience for us and our little dog. We'll definitely re-book with her - this was a great first-time booking!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I also have experience with rescue animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and comfort level. I’m patient, compassionate, and committed to making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐶🐱 I do pet care full time and when I’m not caring for your pets I’m at home spending time with mine. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats who are my world and I love nothing more than to snuggle with them on my couch and binge watch a good series! My dogs go out every 2-4 hours and my cats never go outdoors. Anytime my dogs go outside they’re always on a leash and supervised.

About: I have two pups at home that I take care of for 8+ hours a day. I love playtime and going on walks with them! I’m working volunteer shifts with a non-profit currently and am on break from school so I have lots of free time and can be in places quickly! I have two dogs in the plaza area. We don’t have a fenced-in yard so we tend to take trips to the local parks to play! Although, that doesn’t stop the zoomies inside haha!

“My dog loved Lexie!! She is super nice and helpful!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life and currently have two wonderful cats. I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior cats needing extra attention. I am experienced with high-need and elderly pets, and I always treat every animal like they're a part of my own family. I currently work a full-time job, but I have plenty of time to stop by before and after work for playtime and check-ins, or to house-sit overnight. I am fully available on weekends for any care your pet might need. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space. I stick closely to your routine- feeding times, walks, play, and any special care instructions - so that your pet's day stays familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention and care while you are away.

About: Some say I am the epitome of an animal-lover. I have been petsitting for a variety of animals since I was 10 years old. I've had cats for my entire life and finally got a dog once I moved to Philly and began living on my own. I have two super sweet dogs and an adorably awesome cat who doesn't mind the presence of dogs or other cats in the house. I foster senior dogs, so all of my residents are used to welcoming new temporary friends into our routine. I offer boarding and daycare to pets that are vaccinated and pet-friendly. I live with my partner who is also very experienced with animals, and between the two of us, there is almost always someone home with the pets! You can rest assured that your beloved furry friend will never be alone for more than an hour or two. I happily allow dogs on the couch and the bed for cuddles as long as this is okay with you. I do not have a fenced yard, but provide at least 4 walks a day and lots of playtime depending on your pup's preferences. There are parks and dog parks nearby, as well! Since I have experience with senior dogs, I also have experience administering medication in various forms and can follow even the most detailed and complicated of instructions. Your pet is in good hands with me! I work from home full time during the week. My schedule is flexible and I can provide regular potty breaks throughout the day. We have two dogs of our own so we are typically out and about anyway! My two dogs are very friendly and comfortable welcoming new friends into our place. Our home is very dog-proof and we are great at keeping an eye on everyone to make sure they're getting along well and no one is getting into trouble. We can provide frequent walks (solo or with our crew) for exercise or, if preferred, sniffy walks to work the brain.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a child — never discriminating against ANY creature. I love to be active with my pups and would love to do the same with yours! I will give all the belly rubs, adhere to the diet you prefer, and can administer any medications or take care of all special needs, etc. Your bebe will be taken care of like they are at home and will have a full-time best friend within my household. Currently, I work a hybrid schedule and some days am gone from my home to work. However, I al able to provide potty breaks every 4 hours — never exceeding more than 6. I have a large, fully-fenced backyard and allow the bebes to play around as much as they like. I do like to monitor their first/second time out to ensure they are ok with having the freedom my backyard provides. If their usual routine is to be in a crate while no one is home, I can accommodate that. Or, if they are not crate-trained, that is ok, too.

About: Hello! I’m Davis, I’m 27, and I have grown up around and caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience dealing with both senior dogs and puppies too! I currently live with my families dog Nelson, who is a one year old labradoodle. I have cared for and watched over my friends and extended family’s dogs when they’ve requested help. I have also volunteered at animal shelters around the metro through my time in high school and college. I am ready to provide walks, enrichment, meds, treats and whatever else your pup might need! Please feel free to reach out to me for any additional questions! I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I am currently studying from home to finish my graduate degree, but am flexible enough to work almost any event into my immediate schedule. For my own dog, he is let out ~10 times daily, walked twice a day, and we also try to spend at least 10-15 minutes on training. I also try to check my dogs paws, ears, eyes, and teeth a couple times per week to make doubly sure he is in good health. For my clients dogs, I would provide the same kind of attention to detail and safety I do for my own dog. You can expect timely correspondence back to you and the utmost care for your pup.

“Nice, friendly, punctual, good with my kooky dogs”
