“Tara is the sweetest. I was able to ask lots of questions and feel very comfortable with what to expect. She loved on my dog before heading out which allowed me to know she was in good hands. Will be booking again for sure.”

“Ashely is genuinely so great, she always takes the cutest pics i’m so obsessed and has helped me out last minute a few times. Highly recommended, the other week she helped out and my grandfather was telling the dog she couldn’t leave, Ashley thought he was talking to her and offered to help him out. I was crying laughing when he told me but she’s a sweetheart!”

About: I love working with dogs! I've worked as a professional dog trainer for 2 years. The dog training varied from lessons to board and train. I have experience working with all kinds of breeds, from doodle mixes, huskies, german shepherds, malinois, Rottweilers, golden retrievers, labs, and more! I've grown up with dogs my whole life, anything from a tiny Maltese mix, to a baby pug, to a high energy Border Collie, to a giant Bouvier. I have a blue heeler husky mix named Bowie. We go on walks, have playdates at the park, and when he's finally tired he loves to cuddle. I understand some dogs will want to play nonstop and others will want to just have a laid back visit. I have experience dog walking/sitting as well. A typical visit to your home would begin with a quick greeting, then leashing up because your dog will probably want to go outside right away. Then, some ball throwing and/or cuddles afterwards! From basic home visits to long walks, I am your pup's perfect choice! I'm currently working towards my degree with online school, so my schedule is very flexible! I can bring my dog with me on walks if yours would like a friend to walk with, or leave him at home if yours prefers a solo walk! My availability for drop in visits and solo walks is 8am-10pm.

Let's play! I'm not nosey, or judgemental. Life be lifing sometimes- I don't care if your house is spotless and don't expect it to be. I've got two kids, two dogs and a husband- my house looks like it! I've never met a pet I didn't immediately want to play with and take care of, and pets tend to feel the same way about me.

“Kelly is kind, gentle, punctual, and trustworthy!! I had shoulder surgery so Kelly came over daily to walk my two dogs. One day, there were several emergency vehicles blocking my street. Kelly couldn’t get through with her car so she went home, got her bike, and made it to my house. Dedication and perseverance. Thank you, Kelly!”

“Joe has been fantastic. My apartment building is a bit complex to access, but he handled it with ease and followed all instructions. He is reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated after each walk. We’ll continue using him several times a week: highly recommended!”

Bay Island dog parents share their Rover experiences
Douglas walked all 3 of our dogs for 3 days and exceed all our expectations! We have 2 medium sized dogs and 1 large dog, around 95lbs. It can be hard to walk all those dogs and a dog that size but he handled them all so well! We couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. He was always early, always prepared, and very friendly. I’d have no problem whatsoever trusting Douglas with our dogs again. We really appreciate him!
