Dog Walking Blackhawk

“Stephanie was great with my sometimes challenging Australian cattle dogs. She communicated well, was flexible in terms of exact timing, and really seem to enjoy my pups, and they really like her. Highly recommended.”

“Sophie ensured Piper was taken care of in all areas. Not only did she walk and play with her, but also met her basic needs of food and water. Very grateful for Sophie!”

“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”

Marissa G.

“We have a great experience as a first-time Rover user! Magan was reliable and punctual, showing up right on time every day for our pup’s 30-minute walks. I especially appreciated the photo updates and detailed potty reports - it gave us peace of mind knowing how everything went while we were away. Would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I regularly walk and check in on a dog four times a week and have pet sat for several families. I’ve also helped care for my families dog over the years. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I currently have a pretty high availability to care for pets — through boarding, quick walks, drop in visits, etc! I love early morning walks and exploring nature. I provide a calm, safe environment and always follow care instructions closely. Though I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats — supervising pets carefully to ensure their safety and comfort at all times.

“Donna took such good care of my 4-month old puppy and even sent photos to show me he was happy and having fun! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so grateful to Donna for making this a great experience. I highly recommend her.”

“Michelle was the best rover experience we have had in a long time. She was punctual, proactive, and provided honest communication with how things were going with our two big dogs. One of our dogs is very nervous and she was beyond patient with him and successfully got him out for his walks. I appreciated that she showed up exactly when she said she would. We will absolutely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs through volunteering at animal shelters for over 12 years. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages, and I am Fear Free certified. I don’t have a dog myself yet, so I’ll love and care for your pup as though they are my own! I work full-time, so I am outside of the home 8+ hours on weekdays. I can provide care in the morning before work and in the evening after work, and on weekends. I am available most holidays as well. I make sure to earn the trust of every animal I work with, which includes respecting their boundaries as we are getting to know each other. That being said, I’ll make sure your pet gets the food, exercise, and attention they need to feel safe and happy while you are away.

About: My pet-sitting experiences include looking after both cats and dogs day to day and for extended periods of time. When taking care of cats, I make sure they have clean water and food at all times; keep their environment clean; watch over them and see if they are healthy; and interact with them by playing with them on a daily basis. I also have experience caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels. Making sure their fed, walked, groomed, and cleaning up any messes/ their environment. In addition always making sure they have access to clean drinking water and providing plenty of playtime and attention. I occasionally take care of a family friend’s dog who has arthritis. I help keep her comfortable through gentle massages, giving her medication as directed, and hand-feeding her when necessary. In doing so, I learned to be patient and attentive in caring for an animal's individual needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. I always go the extra mile into taking good care of animals, ensuring their safety, and comfort in the absence of their owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and doing everything I can to ensure their happiness. I am extremely flexible with regards to my schedule, and can be available for the most part of the day. I wake up early, so feeding and taking the animals for walk won't be a problem at all. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I value their safety, trust, and maintaining a calm and familiar environment for their pet. It is important for me to carefully follow all the instructions concerning their feeding schedule, treatment, taking medication, and other specific care. It goes without saying that I make sure that the pets receive proper meals and have clean water to drink. I also try to keep the house as clean as possible, including litter boxes for cats and any messes that may occur. I also observe the pets to ensure everything seems normal and they’re healthy. I believe that building trust with both pets and owners is essential, I’ll always provide them with updates and photographs about the current condition of the pets. My goal is to make sure their pet is cared for and mostly importantly happy.

“Truman was very awesome!! He did great with our boy, Zissou!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and fish since childhood. I’ve cared for toy breeds to extra large dogs (tea cups yorkies to mastiffs!), individual cats to families with 5+ feline family members. I have experience with puppy obedience (consistent/incremental/positive reinforcement), senior care, and varying levels of energy. I’ve worked with shy pets and incredibly social pets. Teach me about your pet and I will provide as consistent of care as possible while you’re away. I have a predictable schedule in my personal life and I am able to plan and design a pet care schedule with your routines in mind. I will make every effort to ensure clear, manageable expectations are communicated in advance so all parties are satisfied. I will follow routines and practices as close to the established routines to which your pet has grown accustomed. I understand this can vary greatly by family and appreciate clear communication.
