Dog Walking Barton-McFarland

“Izzy is fantastic with our nervous dog. She’s done one-off dog walks as well as daytime walks when we’ve been on vacation for a week or more. Kind, responsible, caring, and communicative.”

“This has been my first experience with a dog walker. Lizzi has been AMAZING!!! It is such peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who loves animals! Thank you Lizzi!!!”

“Allie is so kind and loves my baby girl. She is extremely flexible and helps out extra whenever needed. She goes above and beyond even refilling the water bowl when it’s empty.”

Amy W.

“Our dog is a little wary of strangers and he loved Jeannette right away!! He greeted her like family the first time he met her and I immediately felt comfortable having our dog in her care. She is a total professional and gives us such peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.”

“Ally is amazing!!”

Reid G.

“Azariah is the best! She accommodated last minute and my girls loved her! They are dog reactive and have to be walk separately and Azariah had no problem either. She’s the sweetest and communicated well with me. 10/10 will recommend and will be using her again”

About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking. I work independently as an artist and curator, so I make my own schedule, so I always have plenty of time for your fur baby. I am unable to watch pets at my own place, as I am constantly fostering and have my own cats. I've been a trusted house/pet/baby sitter for 10 years, and will take great care of your space.

“I had a regular walker cancel for a life interruption last minute on my midterm test day and Lukis was wonderful. It was as if they were Kronk’s caretaker for months. He was happy and I had no worries about him while I was testing. I would definitely go to them again for any caretaking needs in the future.”

About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.

“Great communication! Very friendly! And great with my dogs! Will book in the future!”

“Samantha was very kind and caring to my sweet old boy Loukas. She was also very accommodating with my schedule and logistics as we were only in town visiting. I would gladly trust Samantha with Loukas’ care again”

“So glad that I hired Breanna for walking my son Chico! She sent pics and regular updates, and was so kind. I felt very comfortable leaving Chico in her care. Would definitely recommend!”

Dasia G.

“Randi is wonderful and I highly recommend her to other loving pet parents out there! From the introduction to scheduled walks, Randi remains compassionate and caring to my pups! I wish I could take her with me to my upcoming move LOL!”

About: Professional housesitter, LGBT+ND Friendly. My homebody routine means tons of time with your pet. I'm very tidy, and a good fit for clean nonsmoking homes. Over 200+ nights per year petsitting! Your place is my home, not just short visits. I love multiple pet households of 2, 3, 4 or more! I am patient with anxiety, special needs, medication, and puppies. I love written instructions, and take medication seriously. My day is typically yoga, meditation, movie nights with your pets, two hours WFH, and walks or yard time. I also offer daytime care in your home via the Housesitting tab (3 hours to 10 hours+) even if you don't need overnight. You can also book Drop Ins of 30 or 60 mins, or multiple hours. Pets that I know already can sometimes book care in my home. I only take one pet family at a time for my home daycare, quality care over quantity. I usually send you 2ish updates with photos per day. I'm mature, sober, nonsmoking; I don't vape or use drugs, not even caffeine. I have decades of experience caring for houses and pets. Note: All of December will be at Rover Holiday rates. After our initial visit, it is standard to do cold swaps vs hot swaps, for your out of town trip. I arrive after you leave, and depart before you return. This usually means smoother transitions for pets and humans. If you need a sit start time before 8am, or end time after 8pm, or drives over 15 minutes, there is an additional charge of $30 each, not included in your Rover estimate. You are very welcome to book drop ins or walks before your sit so we can all get to know each other! Just click Drop In on my profile and select your preferred time and day, and I'll message back same day. Your home is my home base, I bring my groceries/book/yoga mat/work things. Playtime, downtime, and sleepytime are spent with your pet. I WFH and love reading, cooking, meditation, movies. My commitments are important to me, and I care about your pets. I am responsible, a great communicator, and will always respond to your messages.

“Miryam is such a great person, she’s wonderful with our high energy, sometimes sensitive doggo! She also takes amazing pics of your pup. Always happy with the time our dog gets to spend with her. Hire her!”

About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.

“Hanan is AMAZING! She has taken our 5 year old German Shepherd Kudo on walks as well as watched her overnight in our home. She is dog-reactive, and it feels so good knowing we can trust Hanan to keep distance from other dogs on walks & keep up with the training we are doing, while keeping Kudo safe. We always feel comfortable knowing Hanan does a great job caring for her, giving her lots of love & play, and making sure she is safe. Hanan communicates quickly and sends great updates with photos - you really can tell she loves what she does. Thank you Hanan!!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child as my family had a farm when I was growing up. I have also rescued most of the animals that I’ve had and wish to rescue way more in the future. I’m currently enrolled in Schoolcraft community college studying nursing. I don’t have a job at the moment and have a lot of time on my hands so I would love to take care of your precious babies I actually will not be able to take care of your pets at my house as I do have some pets that don’t get along with other animals so I wouldn’t want to take the risk but I would love to come to your house and take care of your pets and walk them and look after them exactly how you want me to
