Dog Walking White Forest

About: Exclusive dog sitter for the Riverwood community. I've always loved dogs and currently have a golden retriever and a lab. As a homeschool mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time caring for pets. I also babysit, so I carefully choose bookings that are a good fit for my family and yours. My priority is making sure both children and pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm happy to provide drop-ins, walks, and care in your home. My schedule is structured around homeschooling, activities, and caring for my own dogs. I'm home during the day and able to provide attention, care, and companionship. Weeknights can be busier with activities, while weekends tend to offer more flexibility. I carefully choose bookings that fit our routine so I can provide the best care possible. I take dogs on walks, play with them inside and outside, belly rubs and back scratching (if they like that), and companionship. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and follow each pet's routine and needs.

“My senior dog loves Claire! After the death of another beloved dog, I knew my senior girl need a weekly visit when I was scheduled for a long shift. We had a meet and greet and Claire was kind, caring and interested in Molly. And Molly warmed up to her quickly! Claire takes great pictures, is a great communicator and conscientious. Molly’s eyes shine with a special joy after a visit from her. I feel reassured when I can book with Claire!”

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.

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.

About: Hello! I’ve been pet sitting for 9 years. Allow me to help your days run smoothly by walking your fur baby while you are away at work or travel.

“Erika was great. I trusted her and she delivered. My dogs love her. Thanks for all the walks Erika”

About: I am now an officially licensed and insured business named “Purr & Grrr LLC.” I’ve had my own dog and cat for the past 15 years. I have also house sitted and watched other dogs and cats as well. I’ve worked as a practice manager at a pet hospital for years. Due to recent events, I will not take dogs that are not neutered for boarding. My cat stays in my bedroom with no interactions with any of the dogs. I usually ask with requests about excessive barking, crate training, how they sleep, and how they interact with other dogs. ADDED SERVICE - At request, my girlfriend does Reiki for people and pets. $55 charge per session for animals and $100 for a 60 minute session for people. Mini sessions for $60. When booking, please let me know if you are interested. Her company is called Cosmic Balance. Thank you! UPDATE. You will see a recent review for me from an owner who wasn’t honest about the dog and his behaviors and how he treated his dog with “training.” I don’t want to share the details of what his dog did because it was horrible and he laughed about it. I have and always will take the action that is for the safety and care of all of the pets I care for as I do this because I love animals. All of them. So the updates for safety that I have taken are the following. 1. All dogs unless they are from the same family will be outside by themselves. 2. While they will never be out with another dog besides a related dog, I have purchased pepper spray, dog whistles, and several other items to react in such a situation if anything happens. 3. I’ve lowered the amount of pets that I take at a time. 4. I thoroughly ask questions and vet whoever I’m watching to make sure it’s safe for all parties. 5. I have always had cameras wherever the pets are, and will continue to do so. 6. I have a calming pets video playing 24/7 for all pets. 7. I have a thermometer that monitors temperatures at all times and sets off alarms if it’s too low or too high. 8. I will no longer watch breeds that can be aggressive. Unfortunately this individual treated their dog with abuse in his response and something triggered him to attack another friends dog in my care that I needed to respond in order to break up his dog attacking another dog that resulted in two surgeries requiring a complete reconstruction of her ear and an infection with pet bills that he paid for, not rover. That poor dogs owner can attest to that and has been in communication and I will continue to be her dog sitter because her dog is so sweet and wouldn’t even know how to defend herself. The situation upset me deeply and this person was vindictive and manipulative. I’ve never encountered something like this before or a human being who would laugh at such a thing, or attempt to harm my business in such a way. Please be assured that your pet will be treated with care, safety, and kindness. I work full time but I live 10 minutes from my job. All pets get walked frequently and checked on frequently and are well taken care of. I’m in a house now with a fenced in backyard with plenty of room. I have crates, bowls, toys, and plenty of space in the house where the pets will stay. It is climate controlled along with cameras, TVs, a very large play area, and calming music is played at all times.

About: I have been obsessed with animals for my entire life. I have always wanted to learn as much as possible when it comes to pets. I studied different breeds, watched documentaries, read multiple training books, and filled my life with animals. Every job I have held has revolved around animals. I have been a kennel technician, barn manager, veterinary assistant, etc. I am comfortable with all temperaments, ages, and sizes. I have experience with reactive pets, special needs, and giving medication. I will strive to give your pet the quality care that they deserve! I owned a fear-aggressive German Shepherd Dog, so I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to watch a dog that may be “more difficult.” I would love to help relieve that stress for owners that have pets that may need a little extra care. My seasonal job just ended, so I currently have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am open to house-sitting during the week, as well as weekends. All pets are different, so pet care changes within each home. Some pets need to be crated when not supervised, some are not allowed on the furniture, the list goes on and on. I believe that the owner knows their pet best, and I will strictly follow each rule and piece of advice given to me. I strive to give all pets plenty of physical and mental stimulation to best fulfill their needs and happiness.

About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! (Pronouns are he/him, thank you in advance if you use them! ♡) I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible (PLEASE do not go by the Rover calendar, as I have weekly clients outside of Rover), so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡

About: I bring a calm, dependable energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and even newborn kittens and puppies. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, pets who need a gentler pace, and animals who benefit from extra patience and attention. I'm also very routine-oriented and make sure your pet's schedule stays consistent. You'll always receive photo updates, check-ins, and clear communication, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I also offer light housekeeping during stays to keep your home tidy and stress-free for your return. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind through reliable care. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life, so working with animals fits smoothly into my routine. I structure my days around my pet-sitting schedule, which means your pet always gets my full attention during visits and plenty of time for walks, feeding, play, or just relaxing together. I'm also a college student, and Rover helps me earn money for school while still allowing me to keep a flexible, reliable schedule for the pets I care for. I make safety and comfort my top priorities in every home I enter. I closely follow each pet's routine, maintain a calm environment, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are always secure. I keep your home tidy, refresh food and water, and give plenty of attention and supervision. I also send photo updates so you can feel completely at ease while you're away.

About: •Dog walking: I have two energetic Labrador Retrievers . Saying so I have great patience with being pulled to smell plants or even the excitement of seeing other people being pulled. So while away you can be comforted knowing your dog isn’t being jerked or punished for just being a dog. They’ll have enough time to get some of that crazy or little energy they do have. So when you arrive home you can smile knowing they got a little adventure out of their day. •Dog sitting/Check-ins: It’s nerve wrecking trusting someone with your best friend. Having my own two dogs I would treat your baby with highest quality of care. Plenty of bathroom breaks, with time to get a breath of fresh air from being inside. Time devoted for playtime to keep your best friend busy so there will be little time for any accidents. I am currently work from home full-time with extra time in-between my schedule. I have plenty of time to do drop in visits to give your fur babies the care they need. So your time apart is less stressful on you and as well as them while missing you. Care in client home: You are trusting me to come into your home and take care of your loved one. I will give your pet the upmost respect and love you’d give. I know personally how stressful it can be wondering if someone is giving your pet enough water or being fed properly. I want to make this time apart easy on the both of you. I have such a high expectation for those who watch my dogs so i want to give your pets the best care possible. In my home care: While not being in your pets comfort zone away in a different spot. I can promise they will get plenty of love and comfort. I allow my dogs on my couch where they get plenty of cuddles as well as in my bed. They do sleep with me off and on. I know it can be a little hesitant with a little one around. But I make sure my daughter respects pets boundaries and does not crawl all over them or put them into an uneasy situation.

About: As a dedicated pet sitter and proud owner of two wonderful dogs, I understand the importance of trust and care when it comes to your furry friends. With years of personal experience in pet care, I offer a loving and reliable service, ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence. Whether it’s dog walking, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Let me provide the care your pets deserve! During the summers I have a part time job which causes me to be busy between the hours of 3pm and 8pm, other than that i am usually free or can free up my schedule with AT LEAST 3 days notice. Before my first official meeting with your pet, I do require a prior meet and greet to get to know your fur baby and to make sure they aren't startled or alarmed by a stranger coming into their home, this also helps me begin to better understand their needs and routines. Instructions on your pets care are strongly encouraged due to some pets having additional needs or medical problems. I also ask that you leave your pets veterinarian information in case of any incident. Communication is key!! I love to keep clients updated with pictures and videos of their pets to highlight how they're doing.
