Dog Walking Welty

About: I live in a very full and very happy home of five rescue doggos and a cat-that-thinks-she-is-a-dog. Needless to say, I juggle many different personalities, needs, and quirks every day. I feel most fulfilled getting to know animals for who they are and building trust at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement and pay close attention to behavioral cues, especially with dogs who are anxious, fearful, or need a little extra patience. I have hands-on experience managing multi-dog dynamics, including situations with food or fear aggression, so I’m very intentional about following each pet’s specific routine and your instructions. Alongside pet care, I’ve spent nearly two decades teaching dance to all ages, which taught me how to corral a group of strong personalities. The skills translate well: patience, awareness, and keeping structure and calm when things get a little unpredictable. At the end of the day, I treat every animal like a whole little person—just one who might occasionally eat something they absolutely shouldn’t. I keep a flexible schedule and can accommodate a range of routines. I book thoughtfully so I can be fully present, reliable, and consistent for your pets. My approach centers on safety, trust, and a calm, low-stress environment. I follow routines closely, read each pet’s cues, and let them warm up at their own pace so they feel secure and understood—not overwhelmed.

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet mom with a home full of personalities - including 4 dogs (Great Dane puppy mixes, a Great Pyr mix, and a senior pittie who keeps things interesting) and 3 cats. Because of that, I am super comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from giant, high energy dogs, to tiny sensitive guys who need a little extra love, and even the occasional grumpy senior. I truly understand how important it is to keep pets in their normal routine while you're away and I have experience with training, medicine administration, and specialized diets as well as feeding schedules. My goal during every interaction with your babies is to make them as comfy as possible while maintaining their routine, and make them feel loved while their people are away. I am especially patient with shy, anxious, or older pets and always adjust my approach based on what they need. I also know how important communication is, so you will get updates and photos regularly! As a pet mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your babies with someone, so I make sure to treat every pet like they're my own! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate most drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and pet care routines throughout the day. Since caring for my own pets is already a part of my daily routine, providing reliable and consistent care for other pets fits very naturally into my schedule. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I am used to managing multiple pets with different personalities, feeding schedules, diets, and energy levels. Safety, consistency and comfort are always my priority. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, fresh food & water, meds if needed, and love! I am happy to follow specific instructions closely. I am also open to pet sitting in my home for animals who are dog, cat and kid friendly. My home is very pet-centered, and I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for.

About: In college, I worked at a vet hospital in the boarding section of the building. I administered medications, as well as played with the dogs and looked over the cats while they were boarding with us. I’ve pet sat for many friends, family and coworkers over the years. I’m also currently raising a poodle puppy of my own. I’m on maternity leave through mid July. I’ll be very available to check in on your pet through that time. In July, I’ll be available Tuesdays, Fridays, and the weekends. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly male poodle if you pet stays with me. I can also take your dogs on walks, cuddle on the couch, play fetch, or whatever they need!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I promise to take care of yours like they’re my own. I am currently only offering visits to your house. These are for 30 minutes and can be for anything your pup or cats need. For example, I have one dog who loves to walk. So we walk for 30 and then I spend a few minutes filling up water bowls, etc. I have another dog who just really likes to sunbathe and get pets in her backyard. So we do that. I am very flexible to you and your dogs needs 😊 I hope you have a wonderful day and I would love the opportunity to meet you in the future. I am available to take care of your animals on your timetable. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, I am available to help once or multiple times a day. I will treat your animals and home like my own, with the utmost care and attention. I will not only care for your animals, but respect your privacy and belongings.

“Kassiandra was fantastic! She booked last minute after our other sitter cancelled and I couldn’t have gone better! She was timely and excellent in communication about my sweet boys! I think they had more fun with her than the other place and we won’t be using anyone else from now on. Thank you so much, we truly appreciate the great care you took of T&T!”

“Abi did a wonderful job watching Hershey. Not only did she walk him she also provided welcomed updates and went above and beyond. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

About: I’ve worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility and I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs as I’ve had many of my own since I was a child. I’ve had puppies, elderly, small, large, and disabled dogs. I have experience with large dogs as well as high energy (as I have a Malinois/shepard mix) and pulling on leash. I have pet sit prior to using rover and am determined to give your dog an experience to remember and for you too! I currently work as a nanny during the mornings and early afternoons (typically until 3:00–4:00 p.m.), but I’d still love the opportunity to work with you if we can find a schedule that fits both of our needs! I’m excited to help however I can, so please let me know if there’s a way we can make it work. I look forward to hearing from you! I will reply as frequently as possible and I am able to adjust my scheduling however a guest needs and I can provide my schedule and times I am available during the day! I Will ask, if possible, for a list as to any instruction, extra info, and anything I may need to know to help me make your pet happy! If your dog is friendly with others, and wouldn’t mind a playmate, I too have my own dog that I can bring as a playmate with your fluffy friend! I always make sure to check that there are no hazards when leaving your dog after the day and I always make sure to keep an eye on fences and kennels

“Danielle is amazing! She is so kind and caring with our pup paisley. I always know she is in good hands when I have to leave her for work! Paisley was a bit cautious and scared when we first moved her to providence but Danielle has really helped ease the transition and helped her adapt! Danielle is flexible and incredibly reliable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby!”

Katie M.

“Leah truly loves your pets! She is attentive, asks good questions and spends time with our dog. Not just a walk, play time too! I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior animals I understand that every animal has unique needs, so safety is always my top priority. Making sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their people are away. I’m attentive to details and I always provide regular updates with photos so you’ll feel connected and reassured. My schedule is flexible and very open currently as I'm new to the area and still looking for work. Rover allows me the opportunity to take my time as I do and spend time in various areas as I get to know the community. I’m available for morning, daytime, and evening visits, as well as weekends and most holidays. Whether you need regular drop ins, daily walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets gets attention while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I don’t host animals currently but I provide reliable overnight stays in your pet’s familiar environment. This way, they can stick to their normal routines and feel secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space, and committed to following your instructions. You can count on regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing.

“Coral is a sweetheart and my pets loved her. She was flexible, respectful, responsive and available to walk Lucy at the last minute due to a change in our work schedules. And though that’s all I hired her for, she also paused to pet my kitties and share updates on them as well which was much appreciated during my long days at work. When the need arises again I will for sure ask her to come back.”
