Dog Walking Whitman

About: I have taken care of friends and family members dogs for years. Whether it be for a week or just a short walk, I’m always up for a jaunt with a friendly animal! Big or small, they all love walks and playing! I am currently looking for work with animals and have a flexible schedule. Would love to help out on a consistent basis! If checks ins, walks, play dates are needed, I'm your guy. I have my two cats at home and cannot currently take more animals in here for watching, but have a car to transport to the pets in need! I am a clean person, will tidy up after the animals and will follow whatever rules are put in place.

About: I started walking dogs as a first job when I was a kid! My family and I have always had dogs. Our most recent dog is an adopted mix, named Gogurt! I’m experienced caring for the pets of my family and friends. Looking forward to meeting your four legged friends! I am currently working PT, and have been with the same company for 30 years. I have flexibility on my off days, and can manage hours during the days/evenings. I am happy to meet your schedule needs when possible! At this time, I do not offer overnight services. In addition to walks and drop ins, I do home care during the day in clients’ homes.

About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.

“Nicole has walked my dog several times and has been wonderful! She took the time to ask about my dog’s needs/behaviors before our weekly walks started. She sends detailed reports after each walk, which I appreciate. She is very caring and responsible and I trust her to take good care of my dog. I highly recommend Nicole!”

“Barry is the absolute best. It took my my dog 0.5 secs to instantly fall in love with him & become besties for life lol Barry is always on time & so helpful & informative & takes a ton of pictures so I know my dog is having an absolute blast while getting some much needed exercise while I’m out with an injury. Mikey gets so excited when he sees him cuz he knows he’s gonna have such a fun time with a really nice dude who clearly loves all dogs.”

About: Fully insured for your peace of mind. Dog mom to my pup Zephyr. Over 25 years of hands on dog experience. Reliable dog lover treating every pup like family and every walk like an adventure. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog mom to my lab, Zephyr, my days are built around walks, exercise, and making sure he is happy and well cared for. I structure my schedule to provide consistent, reliable walks and visits, so each dog gets the attention, safety, and care they deserve. I do 3 walks a day, depending on your dogs needs and physical limitations. I also provide mental stimulation activities to balance out their energy. I will not be hosting another dog while your pup is in my care because they are my number 1 priority. I have 1 very friendly 5 year old Labrador that gets plenty of walks, treats, kisses and love. Your pup will be very welcome in our pack!

“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed. Our pup is known to have some undesirable behavior on walks, and Emily came a few days early to meet her, learn her nuances and took notes so she was prepared to manage it. Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

About: For the past five years I have been consistently taking care of family friends pets. I have been a reliable pet sitter when the family goes on vacation or is away for periods of time. I either stay with the pets or do drop in visits to play, feed and take them on walks. I have experience with caring for multiple dogs/pets at a time as well as different sizes and breeds. I recently graduated college this spring. I just moved back home and have a free schedule. So my off days are free to fill with pet sitting! As of right now I can’t have dogs board in my home. I am willing to do drop in visits for families and take care of their pets for periods of time. I can do check in visits as wished to play with the pets, take them on a walk or feed them as needed.

“Jaqueline is very kind and you can just tell has a heart and soul for animals. She was very easy to work with and came over for a meet and greet before the first walk. She asked all the right questions during the meet and greet and Bonnie took to her gentle energy right away! Would highly recommend Jaqueline for all your pet services needs!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have been a lifelong pet owner. Over the last 10 years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as the pets of family and friends, giving me experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. After recently saying goodbye to my sweet boxer girl after her battle with cancer, I’m looking forward to filling my days with more tail wags, fetch, and the happiness dogs bring. I know how much our dogs mean to us and how important it is for them to feel loved, stay active, and get plenty of attention. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, boarding, or just some extra care while you’re away, I’d love the chance to spoil them like they’re my own! I have a flexible schedule during the week and am available Monday through Friday to provide reliable care, walks, and companionship for your pet. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and find times that fit their needs, whether that means a morning walk, midday visit, or extra attention throughout the day. I also offer boarding in my home, where I can provide a comfortable, caring environment with plenty of love, attention, and a routine that helps your dog feel relaxed and at home while you’re away. My home is a comfortable, pet-friendly space where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I have a fenced-in yard in a quiet neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy some outdoor time in a secure environment. I also have plenty of space inside my home for dogs to settle in, including the option to crate if that is part of their normal routine. I understand that every dog has different comfort levels and needs, and I’m happy to follow the routines and preferences that make them feel most at ease. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also have a pool where they can cool off and have some fun during the summer. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel like part of the family.

About: I’ve taken care of a lot of dogs over the years and i have my own dog as well. I love them and i’ll take care of them like they are mine 💖 I work from home so i’ll be here to incorporate whatever schedule your dog may have. How many walks and feeds you would like i can provide that. I live in an apartment but i have a park near me where i can take your dog for a walk. I can also take the dog to a dog a park if you prefer. I have a dog in the house but she is small and very friendly with other dogs.

About: Hello! My name is Andie and I work at VCA South Shore Hospital in ER, ICU, Neurology and Internal Medicine as a technician assistant and have prior TA experience at Old Derby Animal Hospital. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I previously went to the University of Arizona for 3 years studying animal sciences and transferred my junior year to return to the East Coast. I also have some experience with a handful of farm animals from my time at the UofA. Additionally some of my experience comes from working on home farms taking care of horses and alpacas; all of this meaning my knowledge of animals is extensive to give the best care for your furry friends! I have always had the passion for animal care and medicine which is why after graduating I will be continuing my schooling to be a CVT and hopefully someday a veterinarian. A few years back I had participated in boarding through Rover, but after a hiatus I decided to come back to continue with walks and drop in visits because even outside of my main job I love to be around animals! We have a small family dog, but other than that I have rescue retired racing greyhound, Moose, who has travelled far and wide with me. My pets also include many fish, a leopard gecko, chickens and ducks! All this being said, I would absolutely love the opportunity to be alongside your best friends and scratch the itch to spend as much time with animals as I can! I am currently working full time at VCA Animal Hospital where I can do Sat, Sun and Mon anytime. I am open to doing drop ins and walks. It would really help potentially putting me in a position for veterinary school! I take care of your pets like they are my own. I think every one has their own needs and personality, there is no "one size fits all" for any animal. I try to learn your pet on an individual level!

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

About: I have worked with all types and ages of dogs and cats for over a decade. Family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors have relied on and trusted me to care for, feed, walk, bathe, and play with their dogs and or cats, and it has been a considerable joy to make so many new furry friends! I currently work two part-time jobs, and my hours are mostly flexible. So I am available for morning, afternoon, and night walks, feedings, and check-ins. I prefer to dog-sit and dog-walk in the dog’s most comfortable environment. I’d rather look after a dog in their own home/space, and walk them in their neighborhood than to take them to unknown territory. I am able to visit, feed, and walk them multiple times a day.

“Abhay has had 5 visits with Peach and will be coming regularly. Abhay has been wonderful with Peach. He is patient and kind with Peach. Peach has a history of abuse and is very fearful of strangers but she is comfortable and happy to see him”

About: I volunteer at a local shelter where I’m part of the behavioral team. I’m comfortable will all breeds (love bully breeds especially), temperaments and sizes. I am pet CPR 1st aid certified. Available all day Monday and Tuesdays 6am-6pm) Thursday early mornings (6-9am) and Fridays after 2pm. Reach out for more info and to discuss further details Whether a quick potty break, casual stroll or more structured walk I can accommodate to you and your dogs’s individual needs. All breeds sizes welcome

About: I worked with ARL Boston, where I gained expertise on animal behavior and training, nutrition, and basic veterinary care procedures such as vaccinations, insulin injections, and treating a variety of ailments. I encountered a variety of animal breeds of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from sharky puppies to old grouchy senior dogs who despise going inside after a good stroll. In addition, I majored in animal science in high school and am currently pursuing courses in animal behavior and zoology in college. I am available on weekdays and weekends with a minimum of one day's notice. On same-day notice, I may still be available and accepting requests, so please contact me. However, with shorter notice, it is less likely that I will be available. In the client's house, I’m going to use caution when meeting their animal (I am in their space and need to make a positive first impression). Even if they are known to be pleasant, I will still take my time getting to know them. This allows me to earn an animal's trust while ensuring that I am aware of their behavioral cues and handling preferences. Once mutual trust is established, we’ll have a great time enjoying all of their favorite activities together while staying safe.

“Elise was great - she has experience with other dogs, including her own, and supported our puppy throughout the walk. We will be sure to book with her again.”

I currently work at a dog daycare and spend 5 days a week with the dogs. I am a college student who commutes and has class two days a week. My availability is very open and am willing to pick up last minute visits or walks. I will pay close attention to your pet during walks or visits and spend time with them/give them space if that is what would make them most comfortable.

About: **Recently returned to Rover!! Along with having my two rescue cats, I've taken care of my friends' and family's pets (cats and dogs) since I was 12. Now I am 29, living with my 6 year old troublemaker Remi, a Golden Lab. I work a pretty stressful job full time, so I'm happy to spend the rest of my time caring for your pet! I typically love hiking or going swimming with my dog, so I know all the little hidden gems that are pet friendly. Otherwise, I am happy to pet sit at your home or walk around your neighborhood as well. Please feel free to reach out! I am pretty flexible with notice ahead of time. We can discuss further over text or phone. Thank you I have a 3 year old golden lab, who is friendly and get along with all dogs he has come across in the last 3 years. I'm more than happy to take them walking/hiking/swimming together, or I can come to your home and hangout 1:1 with your pup!
