Dog Walking Barker

“Mari helped us with dog walking recently and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is kind, caring, patient, and reliable. She showed up exactly when she said she would and sent the nicest reports of their walks together. I will absolutely reach out to her again when we need help with our dog!”

“Hannah was great!!! She walked our dog Mellie to her daycare on such short notice and at a very early time in the morning. Thanks again Hannah.”

“Christy was great with my two big dogs. She knew how to handle them on walks and spent time with them to make sure they were well cared for while she was here. Couldn't have asked for a better dog walker!”

About: I have been looking after dogs and cats for more than fifteen years and love all animals! My church family and neighbors often ask me to housesit for them because I am reliable and go above and beyond for their pets. I have extensive experience with all different dog and cat breeds and sizes, both old and young. I have experience with animals with special needs, like diabetes or anxiety medication. I keep your pets in their routine to minimize any distress and keep you updated about what we are up to. I’m a writer who works remotely. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can keep your pet’s usual routine going while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, overnights, or hanging out with them during the day, I here to make your life easier knowing your pets are safe and looked after. I always follow pet parents’ instructions exactly when it comes to a pet’s routine and safety needs, as well as making sure your home remains secure and your pet has a great time.

About: You know how some people were born to do something? Yeah… dogs are my “something.” Long before I was anybody’s mom or business owner, I was the kid who suddenly had a white cocker spaniel in her arms because a sweet girl named Ayla couldn’t take him when her family moved. I said yes before I even knew if my mom would — and that yes changed everything. Scrappy was my shadow. We learned as we went — through mud baths, home haircuts, endless ball throws, and bike rides where he practically pedaled with me. I didn’t realize it then, but that was my first apprentice: grooming, bonding, training, teaching sit → speak → count… discovering what happens when a dog feels safe enough to be brilliant. By eight, I was walking neighborhood dogs, making candy-water money, and figuring out how good it feels to help a family breathe easier because someone trusted their beloved pet. That’s the thread that runs through everything I do now. I’m the sitter who notices the little shifts — the “I’ll stay close today” look, the “I don’t like loud noises” flinch, the “I’m ready to play again” spark. I’ve chased runaway pups, comforted anxious ones, and learned through experience — including the heartbreak of my own boy going missing and the victory of bringing him home — that safety and loyalty are not negotiable. My clients don’t rotate through — they grow with me. Your pup becomes part of my circle, and you do too. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just claiming a rare moment of peace — I’ve got this part covered. Your baby will be safe, understood, and cared for like the ones who started it all. Welcome to the Pack! 🐾💗 Pet care isn’t something I clock in and out of — it’s the rhythm of my whole household. I’m home full-time, so the dogs set the pace of my day. Morning sniffs, afternoon play, evening wind-downs — all of it happens right alongside me. And when life pulls me out the door for a moment, my support system activates instantly. My family steps in, and my sister (yes, another Rover sitter!) treats every pup like royalty too. We work together like a little ecosystem built around animals. Fresh water gets checked without being asked, enrichment rotates, naps are respected, and someone always has an eye — or ear — on the babies. This isn’t a hobby — it’s something we pour into every single day. We’re even building out a full pet care space of our own, so the love and structure you feel here is only the beginning. Your pup doesn’t get squeezed into my routine — they become part of it. And trust me, we take that role seriously 🐾💗 Caring for animals is all about creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and comfortable — whether they’re here with me or I’m stepping into their world. At my home, the environment is built around the dogs. I keep things clean, calm, and fresh so pets with sensitive noses, tummies, or skin can breathe easy and settle in. Bedding gets washed, bowls stay clean, toys rotate, and play zones are tidied throughout the day — not just once. I’m always checking little things: gates latched, trash secured, doors closed, no stray snacks on the floor. Prevention keeps everybody happy. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I move with respect — for the routine that’s already in place and for the space I’m invited into. I stick to your rules, your feeding schedule, your walking routes, and your house quirks. I’ll water bowls, straighten play areas, sweep up fur if needed, and leave your home just as cared for as your pet. Rover provides coverage for emergencies, but my focus is making sure we never get close to needing it. Daily cleaning, constant supervision, and thoughtful structure keep your pet safe, relaxed, and thriving. Wherever your baby is — with me or in their own favorite corner of your home — they’ll be treated like they truly belong there.

About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to pitbulls to Great Danes. My father is an owner of 4 cats which I also have experience taking care of. One of his former cats was disabled with feline AIDS so I also have experience handling and administering oral medication. I’ve even worked in an emergency vet hospital as a scribe and know how to identify signs of illness and where to take them should something go wrong (knock on wood). My whole life I have been a lover of all animals and I do my best to stay educated on animal safety and body language. I mainly take freelance jobs so I can take jobs any time between the hours of 11am and 10pm with some exceptions if necessary for overnight bookings. I do not take in pets in my own home as I live in an apartment and other dogs and owners can be unpredictable. I can take your dog on walks, feed them, and cuddle or play with them or let them rest in their own space! Let me know their quirks and I will work with them as best I can!

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience and personalized care. I’ve raised my own dog for the past 9 years, which has given me firsthand knowledge of every stage of a dog’s life, from puppyhood to senior care. Additionally, I worked in a dog kennel for three years, where I gained valuable experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s puppy training, senior care, or making sure anxious pets feel comfortable, I’m dedicated to providing loving, one-on-one attention tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Your pet will feel right at home with me! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly schedule. I work part-time with the flexibility to create my own hours, allowing me to prioritize your dog’s needs and adapt to your personal schedule. When I’m not home, my husband is, so there’s always someone to care for your pet. In the rare event that neither of us is home, we take extra steps to ensure your dog’s safety. We also have indoor cameras, so I can monitor the pets even when I’m away, ensuring they are always looked after. When your pet is in my care, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. You can expect daily walks, typically two to three times, which include ample potty breaks and plenty of time for sniffing and exploring. I understand that each dog has their own pace and preferences, so I tailor walks and activities to their specific needs. At home, I have my own friendly dog who gets along great with dogs of all ages and temperaments. Your pet will enjoy a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of space to relax and play. We have a patio where I can leave the door open, offering your dog even more chances to enjoy the outdoors whenever they wish. Additionally, our complex features a dog park, providing a secure area for your pet to run and play off-leash under close supervision. You can expect regular updates on your dog’s well-being, and I make sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible, offering a home away from home where they feel loved and cared for.

“Hailey is awesome- great communication and Ripley loves her already. We were planning on just a couple days of walks but decided to make it a weekly appointment because how well it went!”
