“Arly was great! Prompt, communicative, thoughtful questions, and overall handled my ridiculous dog wonderfully. I’ll absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a dog walker.”



“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”


About: After working in semi-corporate environments for so long, I felt stifled. Once I started doing things for me - shorter, colored hair, more tattoos and piercings, people started looking at me differently, even though my personality never changed. The best part of my transformation was seeing all the animals still gravitating to me. I grew up around animals and kept up with having many different pets in my adult life. Now I get to play with, and care for, so many animals. It's not always easy, but it is rewarding to see their little faces light up when I open the door and know that I can bring them even a portion of the joy they give me. I take my own pup to the dog park before working a remote full-time job. My daughter got me started walking with her clients for lunch and in the evenings and I have learned to love the exercise and breaking up my day with animals! Our animals have the run of our home, sitting on furniture and sleeping in bed with us. Understandably, not everyone wants that and I can adapt to clients’ house rules without question.

“Kati was awesome, I highly recommend her...we have two dogs and they have never had a "sitter" stop by to take them on walks. The dogs loved her and she was always on time and flexible when I needed extra walks. Thanks Kati!!!!”


About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and love the companionship they bring to our family. Very experienced in grooming and feeding and all types of care that dogs can require. Have also had senior pets that needed lots of special care that I am always happy to provide. I work from home, so here all day with my Goldendoodle. Also have a flexible work schedule for walks during the day and in the evenings. Weekends we like to take longer walks to explore the neighborhood around us. I have a fenced in yard, a Goldendoodle that loves to play with other dogs, and three teenage boys who love to care for pets.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and currently share my home with my rescue dog and three rescue cats. I have personal experience with pets of all ages, including seniors and puppies. I’m very respectful of boundaries and always tune into each pet’s individual needs, emotionally and physically! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m available during the week for morning, midday, and evening walks and/or sniffs around the neighborhood. I treat every home and pet with the respect and care I would expect for my own. I highly prioritize safety for your pet and others by securely leashing your dog, keeping a close eye on their behavior, and carefully following any instructions. I’ll always update you on how your pet is doing and leave your space just as I found it.

About: I was raised on a farm, love animals and will take care of yours as if they were my own! They will always have love! I have recently lost my full time position and now I am open to all day, every day, any day to help with your fur baby needs! I have a fenced in yard for your dog needs! I have multiple litter boxes for your cat needs. I will treat your babies with the utmost love and respect!

“Jazalyn walks our 3 dogs on a weekly basis. We have a very old dog with some mobility issues that needs medication and a puppy so it is complicated, a lot of work and we really have to feel confident and be able to trust someone. Jazalyn does a wonderful job and we feel very lucky to have found her.”


About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

About: My name is Katherine and I have large history of taking care of all types of dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of small, large, seniors, puppies, non-trained and even dogs that require medication, you name it! From a young age, my parents owned a pet sitting business called Fetch Pet Care and I would always love to help by walking, playing, and eventually learning to train some pooches! I have had about 7 years of total experience taking care of animals and using Rover.com! In 2021 I started my Bachelors in Physical Therapy and have been in school since. I now have a break for the summer and am eager to get back into my passion, which is taking care of pets! In my home, I have a cat named Mocha who has a bit of a medical history. in 2023 of January he was diagnosed with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). My fiancee and I decided to invest into a medicine called GS to save his life. After 90 days straight of injections, he is now cured and healthy. With that being said, I am able to administer any kind of medicine (orally or injectables) if needed for your pet. I am also able to train dogs at a basic level (teaching commands, potty training), as well as how to roll over, high-five or paw, etc. Being with animals is like therapy to me, I just love spending time with them. I go above and beyond to make sure your dog/cat has a relaxing and fun time! Since it is the summer time for me and I am currently not in school, my schedule is flexible and open for the next few months. There are many things to keep in mind when it comes to taking care of your beloved animals. A typical day with a dog involves walks, playtime, feeding time and resting periods. Based on what kind of exercise your dog needs, I am able to fit into any type of routine. If the dog needs an easy-going, normal walk with lots of potty stops, I would accompany that. If the dog requires lots of exercise and needs to go on a run, I am also able to do that. Health and Safety is crucial when it comes to taking care of animals. If the pet needs to have medicine administered I am able to present that as I have previous experience taking care of animals that need extra care and medicine. I would monitor your pet at all times and make sure it is living in a clean environment.
