Dog Walking Big Bend

About: Hello! I’m April and I’ve had fur babies all my life—my Miniature American Eskimo (Molly) for 15 years until she became sick. I was also mom to Sydney and Charlie from the time they were kittens to older adults. I have a special place in my heart for cats! I miss having furry companions of my own, so I’d love to offer your pets the same affection and care I gave to mine. I’m an educator, so I have flexibility in my schedule. I’m available to help with occasional services or on a more regular basis. I can make a visit nearly any time of the day! Your home is your pet’s comfort zone, and I respect that. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of love and attention, and make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for—just like you would.

“I highly recommend Elizabeth for her dog walks. I have a more difficult dog with barking and social anxiety and she handled my little dog like a champ and it came back happy as a clam, exhausted, and perfect. I will be a repeat weekly with this gal. Go with Elizabeth!”

About: I have taken care of a menagerie if pets my entire life. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their furbabies. I will give your pets the love and attention they deserve I currently work part time in the evenings so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I will care for your furbabies in your home so they are in a familiar place and reduce stress. I will care for them as if they were my own. Giving them play and exercise keeping to their schedule and routine.

About: I volunteer at a dog shelter that deals with all ages and comfortably around new people. This allows me to pick up on dogs needs and adjust accordingly. I am currently working full time 4 days a week. This allows me a more flexible schedule to help take care of dogs through the week and weekends. I have experience with dogs that bolt when doors are opened outside and know how to block them properly. When helping with potting breaks they can be play breaks to get rid of excess energy. I have experienced teaching dogs to walk on a leash with and without a harness.

“Cayla has been such a blessing to us. She is reliable, flexible, and communicates so well! Our puppy adores her, and Cayla is SO patient- even when our girl throws a curveball at her every day, she always finds a way to keep their walks going! It’s comforting knowing she is in such trustworthy hands while having so much fun. Highly recommend Cayla!”

About: Animal lover with a passion for providing safe, loving care. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and fun while you’re away. I work remotely part time, which allows me flexibility throughout the day. My schedule does vary, but I generally have availability at different times for visits, walks, and pet care throughout the day and early evening. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll come to your home to provide personalized care while keeping their routine as familiar as possible. As a pet owner, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll follow all directions, send plenty of pictures and updates, and treat your pet like they’re my own.

About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.

“We use Carrie to let our dog out while at work and we couldn’t recommend her more!! This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found her. She is reliable, a great communication and we love the photos we get from her. It is nice knowing our pup, Woody, is in good hands when she goes to take him on walks. You can tell Woody loves her as well. 10/10 recommend Carrie!!”

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personal experience I bring to every pet I care for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I know firsthand how important reliable, attentive, and compassionate care is — because that’s exactly what I want for my own pets. I have experience working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement like potty training, crate training, leash manners, and positive behavior encouragement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, mobility support, or just a little extra patience and gentleness. Beyond the basics, I pay attention to the small details — each pet’s personality, routines, comfort needs, and quirks. Whether it’s energetic playtime, structured walks, cuddle sessions, or calm companionship, I tailor my care to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. To me, this isn’t just pet sitting — it’s caring for a member of your family. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with genuine love, responsibility, and respect. Pet care is naturally built into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my day around my own pets’ needs. Every morning and evening include scheduled walks and potty breaks to keep dogs active, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I provide morning and evening feedings, with fresh water available at all times throughout the day. In addition to scheduled breaks, I let dogs out as needed — paying close attention to their cues to make sure they’re comfortable and never waiting too long. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. I prioritize consistency, supervision, exercise, and affection, making sure each pet feels secure and well cared for from morning to night. My care always depends on the service requested, but my priority is the same in every setting: safety, consistency, and lots of love. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of my daily routine. I maintain structured morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks throughout the day, scheduled feedings, and constant access to fresh water. I create a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment where they can relax comfortably. I follow the owner’s instructions closely — whether that’s crate training, reinforcing puppy training, administering medication, or providing extra support for senior dogs. I also make sure they receive plenty of playtime, affection, and supervision so they feel secure and at home. In My Client’s Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, potty breaks, medication instructions, and any household guidelines exactly as requested. I respect your home and keep everything clean and organized. Most importantly, I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. No matter the location, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, attention to detail, and genuine love. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Kandice is a wonderfully lovely person who was really kind and great meeting my pups. We had a meet and greet and took the pups for a walk together to get to know one another. Would definitely recommend for another walk!”

“Excellent immediate communication always. Two days 1.5 hrs late out of 9 days but otherwise on time. I did not see Quazaye with my dog when she was walking him but could tell he was missing her when time ended. Always sent pics, consistent. Would use again! Thank you for your service.”

About: Hello people of Rover! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, guinea pigs and a hamster. I’m still very passionate about animals. I have corgis and still keep guinea pigs at home. When I was younger, I volunteered at HAWS as a cat socializer and Elmbrook Humane Society as a small animal socializer and cage cleaner. I also used to pet sit for my neighbor’s cats and have cared for animals while family was on vacation. I’d love to connect, and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I can provide drop-in and walk service in the mornings, mid-day period and later evenings. I do pet sitting around a second shift job. I'm available all days of the week. We have 3 dogs at home, whom we provide with exercise, affection, high quality food and grooming care. We also keep guinea pigs, and I have had a hamster in the past. I used to live with and care for cats, as well as watching cats for neighbors.

About: Hi, I'm Max! I've been a pet lover ever since I was a kid. Currently, I take care of my childhood dog, Jordy, who's about 19 years old and has several health issues. He's a sweet loving rescue dog, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. I am experienced with giving dogs medications, both liquid and solid, and cleaning them as needed. I understand that every dog has their own needs, and I am willing and able to give every dog the love they need, want, and deserve. PLEASE NOTE: Starting September through December of 2026, I will be booked every Tuesday afternoon & evening, as well as all day every Wednesday. I just graduated from Carthage College, so I have the entire summer to care for your pet! Whether that means staying overnight or walking them a few times a day, I'm ready to give them the care they need. I will make sure your pet is safe and secure in your home, making sure physical boundaries are maintained and secure. A safe pet is a happy pet!

About: I have extensive experience caring for other people’s pets! I enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperaments, and I have experience with administering medication. As someone who works regular hours Monday — Friday, I am a better fit for a dog who is okay to be home alone throughout the day (~9 hour period). However, I have plenty of availability on Fridays and weekends to care for your furry friends! I am a trustworthy person to have in your home and with your dogs and cats. I give my full attention to the pets I am taking care of. I will be sure to communicate any concerns I notice with regard to safety or pet health!

About: From a young age i’ve always loved animals, having grown up with 4+ animals in the house at all times i learned very quickly my love for animals. i have worked at 2 vets in the past and 2 doggy daycares, those jobs showed me how much i really wanted to care for animals, and while i am not working at this time id still like to devote time to helping people out and making dogs happy with walks and play time and company, i have cared for dogs weighing from under 10 pounds all the way to almost 200 pounds, i do have some experience with administering medication orally and with a needle if needed. i cared for my elderly cat in the past and my elderly dog now, I've given insulin shots and given pills, I am more than comfortable handling that, I found by putting the pill in a small treat nine times out of ten they don’t even notice it’s in there! I know what the feeling is like to have to leave your animals behind when you go on vacation or wherever, but i would love to make them feel happy and loved while your gone! I care for all animals the way I would care for my own pets. my schedule is open now so even if you have a puppy who needs extra potty breaks i’m available to come up to every 2-3 hours if needed. i’m really flexible and can work with everyone at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life with a mix of temperaments and breeds so I am confident with any dog. I have experience training dogs with basic commands. I also have done a lot of pet sitting in the past so I have a lot of experience. I am currently not working but am planning to be working part time but I’m very flexible and am normally able to move things around. I always make sure to clean up everything and leave places better than I found them. Along with making sure that your pet is well taken care of and happy
