Dog Walking Zarah

About: Hi there, I am Roxanna and I have had pets for as long as I can remember. I am local in the Shawnee and Lenexa area. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have trained all my dogs over the years from the time they were puppies. My current pup is epileptic and at one point was having multiple seizures a day. While this has not been a fun endeavor, I have learned a lot and am well versed in dispensing oral medication and also keeping calm in emergency situations. I currently have two dogs and 1 black cat and while most people are afraid of my cat, I don't hold it against him (ha!) | pride myself in understanding cat behavior. I would love to come walk your dogs or check in on your pets. From puppies and kittens to the frosted face doggos and cats, I am comfortable with any age range and their ability (or disabilities.) I absolutely love being able to do this and look forward to hearing from you! -Roxanna I work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to care for your pets at almost any time of the day. I have a clean home and two friendly dogs who will help keep your pup company. I also have an adult male cat, so dogs familiar with cats are a must please.

About: Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets, so as soon as I was on my own, I got my first guinea pig! I'm currently taking care of two piggies, and contrary to popular belief, they all require very meticulous care — constant fresh water and unlimited hay, daily vitamin C tablets, fresh veggies, portioned pellets, daily spot cleaning with a full cage cleaning every two weeks, and the occasional eye ointment when a piggy gets a case of hay poke. I also have experience administering oral medication to guinea pigs. I got my first dog in October of 2023 — a Border Collie puppy! She gets weekly teeth brushing, coat brushing, nail trims, and paw pad shaving when appropriate. I take real pride in keeping up with her hygiene, with baths about every three months (unless she gets filthy beforehand) and frequent paw washings when it's muddy out. I also maintain a training regimen — I'm not by any means a professional or certified trainer, but I'm both consistent and persistent about getting my pup to a level that Victoria Stilwell would be proud of. I watched A LOT of It's Me or the Dog growing up! I also have experience caring for dogs in heat. My experience with cats isn't as in-depth as my guinea pig and dog experience, but rest assured, I have plenty of love and care to offer them too! I've house sat cats in the past for weeks at a time — feeding, watering, playing, and cleaning litter boxes regularly. My cat care doesn't go much past those basics, but I take direction well and am always willing to take on kitties with more specialized needs. I hope this gives you confidence in my ability to properly care for your pet! I'm always happy to answer any questions or concerns, and I will NEVER take a risk that could negatively affect you or your beloved pet. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends are wide open for me, unless my calendar says otherwise. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I work a 9-5, so pet sitting visits on those days are scheduled around my work hours, but I'm still available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. No matter the day, your pet gets my full attention and the quality care they deserve, every single time. Depending on the boundaries and rules you set, I'm always happy to take your pet(s) out for exercise at a dog park or just a walk around the block. I love giving animals human interaction and have no issue spending time playing, whether that's tug of war, fetch, or puzzle games for pets that need some mental stimulation! If you're interested, I can send check-in pictures so you can see how your pet(s) are doing while you're away, along with any other updates you'd like. Safety is incredibly important to me, which is why your pet(s) will be carefully monitored the entire time they're in my care. I personally keep security cameras in my own home to monitor my dog while I'm away - I even have one dedicated specifically to keeping an eye on my guinea pigs! You can never be too safe, and you can never take too many precautions.

About: I have had dogs in our home forever and after we lost our beloved Wheaten Terrier (14yo), we have added a 5 year old rescue Doodle to our family. She’s so sweet and loves little dogs. My kids are grown and I am learning how to be an empty nester. I work from my home office and your pet will be my co-worker when they stay with me. I do travel for work, so send requested dates! We go for long walks, car rides, and get all the head pats! I will love keeping your pet while you are away and we will have lots of fun time together! I have a flexible schedule and work from home! I love to walk and have a four legged companion on the trails with me! My doodle shares her bed and blankets! I do travel for work so we can compare schedules! I have a big yard and plenty of room inside as well! Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home! Our house is on the public park / trail system and we love to take daily walks. I can crate your dog to their comfort level and they will never be alone for more than 3-4 hours if they are boarding with me. I like to take dogs everywhere I go, so bring me all your social pups!

About: I have cared for and owned animals of all shapes and sizes for my entire life, including dogs, cats, horses, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, pigs, and goats! I am very experienced in feeding, watering, cleaning up after them, administering medication and supplements, playing, and snuggling. I am also very active, so I would love to take your dog of any size on a walk or run! I'm currently working part-time and my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily work around your and your pet's needs! I will always treat your animals like they are my own, so their care and happiness is my number one priority, no matter what else is going on in my schedule. I am extremely clean, organized, and reliable. I used to work for the government with a Classified clearance, and I have been certified in CPR and First Aid. I am also very tech savvy and handy, so rest assured I will close and lock every gate, door, and alarm with ease.

About: I have always a dog of my own since I was a kid. And I am that friend/family member every one leaves their dog with when they travel. For puppies under 2 years I prefer they sleep in a crate for overnight. Send me any questions you may have. I work at home, so I am always here. You can send me any questions you may have. Your fur baby will have plenty of attention! I have a fenced yard, and a friendly dog. Your fur baby will have fun, get fresh air and exercise, and indoor play as well.

About: I've had 3 golden retrievers while I was growing up and helped taking care of them everyday. Our one golden had puppies and I helped out a lot with them. Now, me and my husband love to watch and care for other dogs in our free time! I work a 9-5 during the week but I am not usually very busy on weekends and would love to meet and take care of some new pups! My husband can usually take breaks from his work during the day to do a drop in or walk if needed! I love to go on walks with dogs and make sure they are well exercised everyday. I will make sure to keep your pet on the correct feeding/potty schedule.

“Ashlyn was available with short notice, responsive, and communicative. She made it a great first experience with Rover! And my dogs were happy! ??”

About: I have been a pet owner for over 40 years. I work from home, so I am always available for your precious pets! I also have a half an acre, fully gated yard-for plenty of space to roam! I am great with dogs, and also the Purrfect Cat Sitter! I work from home, so that allows me the flexibility to have extra daytime snuggles. I have always been great with animals, so a Sitter spot on Rover is totally a perfect fit for me! My home is gated around the half acre perimeter, and very pet friendly. If away with a client in their home- I make sure the animals have ample space to get to know me on their terms, as often they might be sad to be in the care of someone other than their #1's. I believe their comfort and safety is most important, so I strive to be their favorite substitute!

“Maria has been a great connection. I appreciate she communicates really well and takes great care to give Toby a good walk. He’s happy to see her.”

“Friendly, pays attention to detail. Would have her walk our sweet girl again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve worked in dog boarding for 4 years and I love dogs and caring for them. When I worked in dog boarding I was in charge of feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and much more! I have experience working will young and old dogs, I have no problem giving medicine to pets either! Currently my schedule is very flexible. I’m looking to find a part time job and in the mean time, but will continue using Rover to care for pets. I have one dog, a cat, and a lizard that I care for at home. I am willing to go to others house to care for their pets! I walk my dog daily and clean up after my pets, feed them on time.

“Tia does a great job with my golden retriever and he ADORES her! I've already booked more visits for him.”

“Tori is doing a great job walking our mom’s dog! She’s an Aussie rescue and very shy, but she warmed right up to Tori. Very thankful to have found her!”

About: I've trained service dogs and puppies. I've also cared for multi-animal (species and number) households and I've been doing so my whole life. Whether the dog is big or small, I'd love to help! Pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. I have ADHD that leans towards forgetting to do stuff for myself. To counter that, I connect my human activities with my pet activities. Like "I fed the dogs and cats" and then the next sentence is "Oh! I will feed myself too!" I have crate trained dogs before and can reinforce that training to ensure that dogs feel safe and secure in their resting area. I like to familiarize myself with their habits. For instance, where does your dog like to go for a walk? How do they exercise? What's their favorite treat and when do they usually get them? Do they like doing a particular activity? This is my client's home and with that it is my client's pet's home. I take that to heart and try to embed these habits into their daily routine so that they can be cared for well and in the way that they know.

About: I’ve been apart of rover for 5 years now, and my experience in pet sitting proceeds that for 10+. I love pets and have a very flexible schedule. I am freshly back to the area after college graduation so I will be around for the near future with lots of free time. My work schedule is 8-4:30pm M-F so I will be out of the home during those times, with availability to stop in for a visit around lunch time. I am energetic and willing to work with you to give you the most peace of mind as possible as you go on your trips! I work full time 8-4:30 Monday-Friday with special cases on holidays. I am available any time outside of those hours and short period in the middle of the day to drop in during my lunch hour. I am not able to house pets in my house but I am more than comfortable to watch them in your house. I have practice and experience with all safety measures that are needed with pet and home care.

“Alyssa is wonderful with my dog, Louie. She's highly responsible, has grown up around animals, and I'm so glad I found her! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs for 10 years and regularly help friends and family with their fur babies. I am the first call when friends need their pet cared for. Mostly just love dogs and want them to be my best friend. I currently work part time and from home several days a week. Drop ins are easy and house stays can be planned easily and quickly! I want to make sure your pet never feels like they are left unloved or unsafe. I want to keep their comfort and routine so no one is worried!
