About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, both young and old! Dogs mean the world to me, and I'd love to support your furry loved ones! I work remotely full-time from home, so I'm able to fit quality pet care easily into my schedule. Since I control my own hours, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and constant companionship throughout the day. I currently have a large fenced yard with a doggy door that gives pets easy outdoor access. I always supervise outdoor playtime to ensure safety and double-check all gates are securely locked before letting any animals out.
“Mallory was amazing with our Great Dane puppy! She was sweet, attentive and very patient 😊 She definitely made me feel comfortable and I look forward to using her services in the future!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 ranging from Chihuahas to Mastiffs. I would not mind actually getting a part-time job for my love for dogs either. I am currently going to school and my school schedule is pretty open. All I do after school is hang out with my family afterwards. Alas, I can not board any animals in my household at this time. Possibly sometime in the future, I possibly could. Only time will tell though.
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to lizards and spiders, I love them all! I have grown up with dogs and cats as well as a turtle, hermit crabs, a chinchilla, ferret, and many more. For training to senior-pet experience, look no further! Big or small, I love them all! Currently looking to go back to school, my schedule is as flexible as you need it to be. I’m happy to apply your pets’ schedule to my day to day routine. I will be caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Ensuring your home is maintained during your absence is a top priority!
About: I am passionate about my love for animals and enjoy meeting as many as I can. As someone with several pets myself I understand it can be difficult to find care that is both reliable and affordable, so I am priced to accommodate multi-pet families. No matter how many pets you have or what kind, I will care for them like they’re my own. Refer a friend (have them mention your name when booking with me) and you’ll each get $10 off your next visit. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained. I am almost always fostering cats/kittens, which unfortunately does make me unable to provide care in my own home at this time. I’m a big fan of the Buddy System and bring my partner with me to all new client meet & greets as a safety precaution. Jakob is a Rover-verified sitter and animal lover. He’ll give your pets extra attention while he gives me peace of mind. As far as the pets themselves are concerned, every animal I’ve ever met has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any specific safety concerns you know of so I can tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).
“Xinia kindly came to the house a few days ahead of time to introduce herself to the hounds before our scheduled appointment. Xinia came to my home to let the dogs out for a potty break and to burn off a little energy on a day I had to leave for an extended period of time. She made certain they had water and sent pictures of her time with my hounds. I will definitely reserve with Xinia in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.
About: I've worked with dogs for 7 years now. Helping family and friends with pet care and training as well as eventually branching out to occasionally taking dog training clients. I am currently studying with the International School of Canine Psychology and would love to make dog training and walking a full time business. I foster as well! I am currently studying with the ISCP and taking on private clients so I will be available friday, saturday, and sundays after 11am! In the near future, there will be more days available for services. As a walker, I ensure your dogs safety through gear checks to ensure harnesses or collars fit properly and to make sure the leash is properly attached. I also am very diligent and observant of my surroundings when I'm out with my personal dogs and client dogs. Safety is key! I will also bring a small backpack with water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, and a small emergency first aid kit for dogs.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Benton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
