“Olivia and Maria are consistently the most amazing dog walkers I’ve ever seen. We trust them with all three of our difficult pups and they are always on time, send the best photos of our pups and are a general pleasure to talk to. We will use them for as long as we possibly can!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and grew up with a cat, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve gained experience dog sitting a variety of breeds, including high-energy Australian Shepherds as well as many other types of dogs with different needs and personalities. I’ve also spent time as a foster dog mom, caring for dogs ranging from small Chihuahuas to large Great Pyrenees. My schedule is 100% flexible so I can easily adapt to the needs of your pet! My schedule allows me to be consistent with feeding times, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed - and keep their environment calm and familiar. I’m very respectful of your space and aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Thank you Nikki for giving our boy Rusty his afternoon walk! We loved the pictures you sent and update. Thank you for putting our minds at ease while we are traveling without him.”
“Hailey took great care of Bowie - offered a meet and greet and took him on a lovely walk. Helped us out last minute, too! Highly recommend Hailey for your Rover needs!”
“Aliyah is fantastic! She is very kid, friendly and caring. She is also very prompt and reliable. She kept us well informed about the dogs and they seemed to be well taken care when we returned. Highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of Kita. When my dog came back home after her walk, you could tell that she had been well taken care of and had a blast. Ashley was quick to respond to my request and was able to be super flexible and communicative. I definitely recommend Ashley to anyone :)”
“Cara was great with our dogs. She made sure everything went as we wanted, and sent plenty of pictures to show how happy the pups were. I would recommend Cara to anyone, and look forward to using her in the future!”
“I am very grateful Katherine was able to walk my dog during the work day. She’s very punctual and easy to work with. She provided amazing updates on her services.”
“Lori did an awesome job watching my dogs while I was away! It gave me peace of mind to know they were safe in her care and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. Thank you Lori!!”
“Jamie truly cares for my pup, my dog clearly had a great time staying there, and there was just the right amount of communication. He provided pictures in his updates too. I highly recommend Jamie for sitting & walking services.”
“Jenni has been so great with my dog, Mika! She’s reliable and communicative and I trust she takes the upmost care of my dog during their walks. We are so thankful for her!”
“Jonathan is the first person who I have felt really comfortable leaving Parker with for long periods of time. His gentle nature is exactly what the Parker pup needs!”
About: Not only do I have a B.S. in Zoology; I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small animals, fish, birds, reptiles, horses, and even wildlife in varying capacity! This does include special-needs animals as well. I am comfortable giving medications as well and I currently possess a Fear Free Shelters certification. I'm working on getting a new job, but in the meantime I can provide help as needed and for basically any animals. I can work around you! Aside from basic food, water, and relieving themselves, I do try to make sure pets are walked/played with to some degree so they learn I am a safe person and to make sure they have fun! Exercise is something I take seriously for pets.
“I had a sudden issue where I couldn’t walk my dog! Richard responded quickly to my Rover request and took my dog out that same day until I felt better. Each day they went on walks Navi came back tired and fulfilled. Richard sent me pics and updates throughout the walk. If Navi needs a good walk and I can’t provide, I will definitely reach out to Richard 🤞”
“Erik is incredible! Communicative, prompt and kind. Have a high energy doberman and Erik does wonderful with him on his mid day walks. Will continue to trust him and utilize his services!”
Castlewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch our Golden Retriever, Lucas, so naturally we were a bit nervous going in. But from the very beginning, Anna completely put us at ease. She handled the meet-and-greet perfectly—asked all the right questions, paid close attention to details, and showed a genuinely warm and thoughtful personality. Lucas connected with her right away, which meant a lot to us. While we were away, she was an excellent communicator. She sent regular updates, detailed notes, and happy photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. It made the entire experience feel easy and completely stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and honestly, we won’t be looking for anyone else. Knowing Anna is there makes us feel much more comfortable traveling and leaving Lucas in good hands.
Emilee has been absolutely wonderful with Chewie. From the very beginning, she has been kind, communicative, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief to feel completely comfortable trusting someone with your dog, and I truly do with her. Also, Chewie loves her!! She treats Chewie like he’s her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I’m so grateful we found her and hope to work with her for a long time!
Caitlin is super nice, very professional and so thoughtful! We booked last minute dog walking and checking. She came right away to my house and made a quick plan for us. It was a huge relief to have her helping us checking and walking my dog while we were not at home. She is just soooo nice and soooo helpful!
Jamie was great with the dogs. He was faithful in walking them and he was diligent in protecting them. He made the special effort of working with the one dog who can become anxious and aggressive if she senses any aggressiveness in another dog. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone who wants their dogs to be well cared for.
I cannot recommend Hanna enough. From the first walk, she was punctual, communicative, and incredibly attentive to my dog's needs. I received updates and lots of photos. It is obvious how much genuine care and love she has for animals. My dog came home happy and calm every time he hung out with her. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in capable and kind hands. I will absolutely be booking with Hanna again.
