“Julie did a fabulous job taking care of my dog, Eloise! She made time to meet Eloise before the house sitting was scheduled, sent photos and update texts during the stay and communicated so well. I was a little nervous since this was my first time using Rover, but am so grateful for Julie! Will definitely rebook if I need a dog sitter again.”

19. Donna E.
About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days
