“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”

“This is our first experience using a dog walker with Rover and we are very pleased with Destiny! We needed someone to walk our dog 3 times a day for two days. She arrived on time for all 6 walks and sent pictures of each walk. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, mainly helping my neighbors with their dogs and cats. They’ve always trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets whenever they were busy or away. I’m comfortable with different personalities — shy, energetic, older, or puppies — and I always stay patient, calm, and attentive to what each animal needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I take their safety and comfort seriously. Your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.🐾 I’m currently in a hybrid nursing program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Most of my coursework is online, so I’m able to devote plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can easily adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine. I have one friendly pet at home and a secure yard that’s great for fresh air and playtime. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. Whether hosting or coming to your home, I prioritize safety, gentle handling, and clear communication so your pet always feels comfortable and cared for.

“Terri has been a fantastic support for our family. She is dependable and trustworthy and sends an update after each visit. Knowing that our little Spaniel is comfortable and happy is the best feeling when I am away from home. I am so grateful that I found her, and I look forward to working with her for a long time!!”

About: Growing up, I have had several and feel very comfortable with most breeds and their distinctive traits. I am a believer that pets are just like children. They needs lots of love, attention and constant care. Because of my experience, I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and caring for your dog. Our schedule is very flexible so it's easy for us to be there for your dog. We go on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they're with us. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe. You can bring your dog's favorite toys or blankets, however we have everything your dog would need to feel at home with us. I wash everything after each visit to make sure all of our things are clean for the next fur baby. We have food and water bowls, toys, beds, blankets, crates and even leashes. We want to make it as convenient as possible for you while ensuring your dog is comfortable with us.

About: I worked two years in a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter. After that I worked 6 months at a doggy daycare. I have always loved dogs. I did not own one until I was 22, at the moment I am 29. Since then my passion has been for them. I take care of cats daily and dog sit family friends. I live in a neighborhood so I can take them on walks multiple times a day. I can be there to feed them when needed. I live in a neighborhood so the environment is safe. The back yard is fenced in as well, and they will not be let off the leash in the backyard due to flight risks (Unless owner approval, mostly for smaller dogs)

About: Since I was 10, I’ve helped care for my childhood Australian Shepherd, and I’ve been trusted to look after cats, puppies, and dogs for neighbors, friends, roommates, and family. Pets are family to me, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and love as I do my own. My days and evenings are fairly flexible, so I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m happy to stop by in the mornings, evenings, or even stay for longer visits if needed. And if you prefer consistent dates and times, we can work out a regular schedule to ensure your pet(s) gets the attention they need. I care for pets in my clients' homes by personalizing my approach to meet their specific needs and requested services. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and snuggles. I focus on maintaining their routines to create a comfortable environment while providing companionship. Additionally, I keep pet owners informed with regular updates on their pet’s well-being and any notable behaviors during my visits.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years—both my own and through my professional pet sitting work. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups, including energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. I also have personal experience caring for an injured dog (my own had a CCL tear last summer), so I understand how important it is to be gentle, keep walks controlled, and watch for any limping or discomfort. During visits, I make sure your dog gets a safe walk, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love—plus photo updates and a detailed visit note so you always know how things went. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits. I’m also available for last-minute requests when needed, including weekends and holidays. Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parent instructions closely and keep routines consistent. For walks, I use a waist leash/leash belt so your pup is securely attached to me the entire time—this helps keep both your pet and me safe. I’m careful around doors and gates, double-check locks before leaving, and I send updates with notes and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Amy did such a great job walking my sweet puppy. She even sent me a picture from the walk. I’ve used other walkers and I’ve never received a photo!!”

About: Hey there! I’m a high school agriculture teacher by day and an all-around animal lover 24/7. I’ve spent years caring for just about every kind of creature, you name it, I’ve probably raised it! From playful puppies to wise old senior pets, I’ve got the experience (and the heart) to give them the care they deserve. What makes me different? I don’t just “watch” pets—I connect with them.
