Dog Walking Westward Ho

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals and have been caring for them since I was a young girl. I volunteered at my local humane society growing up, which sparked my love for helping animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. I later spent 4 years working at a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands-on experience and truly fell in love with animal care on a deeper level. I also worked as a manager at a puppy store in high school, partnering closely with local breeders and learning even more about responsible care and different breeds. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to our mini Goldendoodle, Thor, who is full of energy and loves making new friends. We stay active with at least three walks a day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime while in my care. I have two young children who absolutely adore animals and have been raised to be gentle, loving, and respectful around pets. Our home is full of warmth, playfulness, and lots of cuddles! While I truly love cats as well, my husband is highly allergic, so I’m currently only able to offer care in my home for dogs. However I am able to care for cats in your home. I treat every dog like part of the family and understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind every step of the way. I work full time however I am able to care for dogs given I work from home. Thor will also provide a fun and loving environment while your fur babies stay at our home. I have a large home & take Thor on many walks. I enjoy our walks and also let him run in our pickleball courts for extra exercise and fun.

About: Experience You Can Trust & A Backyard To Explore! I am a lifelong animal lover with years of professional pet-sitting experience. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, my goal is to make sure your pets feel like they are on a vacation of their own while you are away. Why Choose Me? • Professional Background: I have extensive experience working for a pet-sitting company, providing everything from daily drop-ins to multi-day care. • Large, Fully Fenced Yard: Our home features a big, secure backyard with plenty of trees and enrichment to keep your pup happy and active. • Medical & Special Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering oral medications. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing a gentle touch, I can adapt to their specific needs. • Mature Environment: My children are between 12 and 18, so your pet will enjoy an active but predictable home without the unpredictability of toddlers or very young kids. • Safe for All Personalities: We have two dogs and one cat of our own. If your dog isn't a fan of felines, don't worry—our cat can comfortably stay in her own dedicated spare bedroom during the visit. What Your Pet Can Expect: • Daily Updates: I send photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your "furbaby" is in great hands. • Personalized Care: Fresh water, feeding, walks, and plenty of one-on-one playtime. • The Comforts of Home: Light baths and treats (as directed!) are always included. I know how hard it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I treat every guest as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, loved, and well-cared for. I offer daily drop-ins within 10 miles and overnight boarding in my home. My Schedule & Availability I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets! • 7-Day Availability: I am available for boarding and drop-ins Monday through Sunday. • Highly Flexible Routine: While I work part-time as a substitute teacher (usually around 10 hours a week, none in the summer), I am home the rest of the time. • Constant Companionship: During the brief hours I am at school, my 18-year-old son or my brother is home to keep the pups company. Both are fantastic with animals, so your pet will have constant supervision and love. • Customized Sleeping Arrangements: I am happy to accommodate your pet's sleeping habits. Whether they prefer to be crated at night or sleep on a dog bed, the choice is yours. I have crates available if needed, or you are welcome to bring your own! • Service Area: I offer daily drop-in visits and potty breaks within a 10-mile radius of my home. Safety & Trust: My Home Environment I prioritize a safe, stress-free environment for every guest. Here is how I manage my home to ensure your pet is well-cared for: • Social Dynamics: I have two dogs of my own: a lovable Golden Retriever who enjoys making new friends and a senior Rat Terrier mix who appreciates a calm environment. I am very experienced in monitoring play styles to ensure everyone is having a good time. • The Cat "Safe Zone": We have a resident cat, but I have a dedicated spare room where she can stay comfortably if your dog is not "cat-friendly." This allows your pup to have full run of the main living areas without any stress. • Secure Supervision: Your pet will never be left unattended in my fully fenced yard. Whether we are playing outside or going for a walk in the neighborhood, safety is my first priority. • Flexible Care Options: * In-Home Boarding: For pets staying with me, I offer structure, exercise, and companionship. • House Visits: I provide reliable drop-ins for bathroom breaks or multiple daily visits if you prefer your pet to stay in the comfort of their own home. I would love to do a meet and greet prior to your stay if time allows.

About: Hi, my name is Rachel, I love animals and taking care of them. I have had a lot of experience watching pets. I grew up with a dog and a guinea pig, with that it has taught me a lot of responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I am very kind-hearted and patient and always strive to do my best. I love meeting new animals and giving them love, I also enjoy playing with animals they always keep me entertained. If I had a mansion I would want to rescue any animal and give them a great home and safe environment to live in. To summarize I think all animals should be spoiled and given unlimited amounts of care and love and to know they are safe and secure. Thank you. I will be available during the day and evenings to care for any pet. My schedule is pretty flexible during the day so I will be able to spend time with any pet. I will feed them, make sure they have enough to drink, and spend time playing with them and giving them all the attention they need.

About: I have a lifelong love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up around dogs and currently have my own pitbull named Sage, who I adopted and trained myself. She is the sweetest girl and has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and giving dogs the love and structure they need to thrive. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I care for my own dog, Sage, every day by making sure she gets exercise, attention, and proper care. I also regularly help take care of my boyfriend’s five cats, so feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them love and attention is something I’m very used to doing throughout the week. Because I’m already in the habit of caring for animals daily, it’s easy for me to incorporate pet sitting into my schedule and make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible by feeding them on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, taking dogs on walks or letting them out for bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep litter boxes clean for cats and make sure they get the affection and care they need. Because I’ve grown up around many different animals and currently care for my own dog, Sage, as well as my boyfriend’s five cats, I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always treat every pet like they’re my own while making sure the home stays clean and everything is exactly how the owner expects.

About: What sets me apart is that I truly care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to give your pets the extra attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your pets to have a fun, comfortable experience and for you to feel completely confident knowing they’re being cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m dependable, organized, and enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and cuddles into my schedule while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I plan ahead so I can be consistent and present during each visit, rather than rushing through care. I also make time to send pet parents updates and photos, helping you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I like to think of pet sitting as stepping into a pet’s world without disrupting it. I pay attention to the small details—their favorite spot to nap, the sound they make when they want attention, the toys they ignore, and the routines that help them feel at ease. My goal is to make your absence feel as uneventful as possible for them. During each visit, I’ll follow your instructions carefully while adding plenty of patience, playtime, affection, walks, meals, fresh water, litter box care, and whatever else your pet needs. I won’t treat the visit like a quick checklist; I’ll take the time to notice how your pet is doing and respond to their personality and mood. I’ll also leave your home even better than I found it and keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos—not just proof that I stopped by, but little glimpses of how your pet is spending their day.

About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life and love spending time with both! Currently without a pet in my home so wanting to dedicate this season of life to loving others. I currently have a very flexible schedule as a stay at home mom, and have a few days where I'm completely free! I'm open to walking, playing, and/ or boarding your beloved furry friend! I have a large fenced in yard with no other pets currently. I do have two children under 5 that both adore dogs and cats alike! (I do ask that you choose a different provider if your animal is not used to small children).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had Pitbulls, chihuahuas and yorkies so I am accustomed to the differentiating behavior that dogs can display between breeds. I believe in honesty and communication to keep both parties protected and informed because your pet is important. I don’t want any harm to come to them on my watch. My dog has seizures, so I understand the concern that can come from a person watching your dog and not understanding the nuances of how to properly care for them and their special needs. I am here to be that person for you. Currently, I work part-time on the weekends during the evening, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I am also an online college student, so I appreciate those that are understanding of that. The most important way to care for your animal is to see and learn how you care for your animal. No one is going to love them or ever know them as well as you. Each animal is unique in behavior, so I try to respect any boundaries imposed upon me by your pet or you.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and can’t remember a time when pets weren’t part of my family! ❤️ I currently have three very spoiled four-legged children of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know your babies are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, fish, and pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies—including puppy training and reinforcing good habits—to senior pets who may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. 🐾 Whether your pet needs walks and playtime, snuggles and companionship, or simply a dependable person to love on them while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own! My two-legged children are grown and independent, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your four-legged ones! 🐾 My schedule allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, evenings, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine because I know consistency helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and lots of love are always my priorities! 🐾 I care for every pet the same way I care for my own—with plenty of attention, affection, patience, and respect for their individual needs and routines. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and making sure pets are never put in an unsafe situation. I also know that every animal is different. Some want to play and be your best friend immediately, while others need a little time and space to feel comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s lead and do everything I can to create a calm, happy, and healthy environment while you’re away. And of course, you can expect plenty of updates and pictures so you know your babies are safe and being well loved! ❤️

I will definitely be using Cam again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

About: I have spent many years fostering puppies/ dogs with an organization called “mostly mutts.” I have always been an animal lover. I’m very attentive and protective of every animal I come in contact with! Given the opportunity to watch someone else’s furry, I would treat them as my own! I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I am very strong and can manage larger breeds of dogs. I understand that people’s pets are a part of the family and they deserve only the best care. I take being a Rover dog walker/ sitter very seriously because of this. Your pup will be in very good hands! I also have a love for cats so I’d be more than happy to cat sit as well! I can’t wait to meet your furries!

About: I help care for the family pets including, a dog, cat, two guinea pigs, and chickens. Growing up around many animals has allowed me to experience the affection and different personalities of different animals. I’m in search of a job currently so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets. On weekdays during the morning and nights! Feel free to text and ask about afternoons or weekends. I learned from a young age how to care for pets. Providing, food, water, outside time, playtime, and affection. I often love taking my dog out on walks/trails to get him out of the house.
