Dog Walking Dexter

“Betsy was very reliable as well as roll with the punches. Our dog didn't eat her breakfast so Betsy allow her to eat before walking. Se sent us pictures while we are away. I would highly recommend.”

About: I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 I do walks in all kinds of weather. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs and took very good care of them. Every visit ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I also volunteer at the Huron Velley Humane Society. My son has had all kinds of animals so if you have a bearded dragon or hamster I am familiar with many different pets. I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days. My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.

“Thanks!! If you pick him up and carry him to the road he’ll be more likely to walk. But I just wanted someone yesterday to check in and feed him and entertain him even more than “walk” him so it was perfect. He LOVES to just lay on grass.”

“Melissa was such a huge help - she responded to a last minute booking and walked and fed Lena for me while I was stuck at work. I greatly appreciated all of the pictures and would definitely book with her again!”

About: Our family has had many pets over the past 45 years; horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and dogs. My love and care for animals is abundant! I’m retired, flexible, and available 7 days a week during the day or evening. I also may be available on holidays depending on family plans. I would care for your pet in your home according to your detailed instructions. The safety of your pet and developing a trusting relationship with you pet are both very important to me.

“Fatima is amazing!! She is prompt and caring, and always leaves me feeling at ease after walking my pet. She is attentive to my dog’s needs and communicates efficiently upon my request :)”

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends for many years. I've also been a volunteer for the Humane Society since 2019, helping socialize and train some of the most challenging shelter dogs and cats. I have experience with large and xl dogs, senior animals, and puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. I grew up in a family that adopted all sorts of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, horses, parakeets, and one very majestic iguana. While I don't currently have any pets since my last elderly fur baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I look forward to adopting again in the future from a rescue organization. I'm a freelance grant writer, which means lots of flexibility to meet your scheduling needs. I can do drop-in visits and overnights at your home, and will happily send you as many photos as you like. Your trust and your fur baby's well being are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any instructions or rules you have for your home and pets.

“Very friendly and professional. Deaunna was detail oriented when we had our meet and greet. Our pup had a great time with her for their walk. I would definitely use Deaunna again.”

About: I grew up with dogs, as many do. I have experience with an anxious reactive dog, experience taking our dogs through behaviorists and trainers, and experience potty training a puppy. I have watched cats for a handful of friends and have checked in on dogs for other friends and family as well. I am starting with Rover and looking to make a little extra money. Each pet is different and each schedule is different. Reach out and we can talk about what your needs are. I prefer to do meet n greets if you have a pet with behavior concerns. I would care for pets in a client's home, depending on their preferences and needs. A check in would include a meal if needed, walk if needed, medication if needed, potty time if needed, and play time or snuggle time if needed.

“Mary was so great and patient with Bobby and accommodating of my circumstances. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently between jobs after moving and have an open calendar. I'm working on securing a part-time remote job that I can work around your pets needs with. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.

“Tanu was AMAZING! She was so caring about Sunny’s needs. She communicated with me throughout the many walks we scheduled giving great updates and photos. I felt like sunny was very well taken care of and we can’t wait for her watch sunny again!”

“Excellent dog walker! Mendongexue came twice a day. She was consistently on time, very sweet with Rosie, and took her on unhurried walks. Lovely and professional.”

About: I've personally cared for multiple dogs and cats for most of my life. I've most recently provided in-home care for a number of pets on Trusted Housesitters along with my partner for the past three years. We have received consistent five-star reviews from pet owners. I've also cared for my own two small dogs, and am comfortable managing daily routines, exercise, and behavioral cues. Most recently, I've supported a senior cat with health issues during an acute period providing attentive monitoring and calm, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to be present for walks, daily care, and lots of one on one attention on a regular basis. I live on a quiet two-acre country property with open space and low traffic dirt roads. The yard is not fenced so dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept on a leash for walks.

“Chad was great. My dogs were so happy when I got home. He went the extra mile for them by brushing, spending extra time and walking them thoroughly. He is reliable, timely and kept giving me updates. I will use him every time if he is available. I got his name from a friend. He is a great fit for my dogs.”

Beth M.

“Olivia was reliable and timely! I will definitely reach out to her again in the future for dog walks.”

About: I currently work at a vet tech. I’m hoping to pursue veterinary school within the next couple years. I have a cat, dog, and tortoise of my own. I love taking care of animals. I’m willing to be flexible with rates too. I have experience sitting independently. New to Rover though! Im working part-time so I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule and will do my best to accommodate your fur babies. They’ll be treated like my own! I cannot provide boarding unfortunately as I don’t have a house. However, I am definitely willing to come sit and do overnight stays if you live a reasonable distance from me.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family didn’t have a dog of our own, so I became the go-to dog sitter in my neighborhood. I would walk, play with, and care for other people’s pets whenever I had the chance. That early experience turned into a genuine passion for understanding dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family was away. As soon as I had my own home, I adopted a puppy and fully committed to raising and training him with love and respect. I’ve trained him to walk off-leash, respond reliably to both vocal and hand signals, and comfortably travel on airplanes. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience with structured training, consistency, and reading dog behavior. I treat every dog like part of the family. My own dog gets multiple walks a day, regular playtime, and a lot of affection. I bring that same level of care to every dog I watch. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s energy levels, routines, and personality, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. What sets me apart is a combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine care. I’m comfortable with active dogs who need exercise and engagement, as well as reinforcing good habits and basic training. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and available to meet your dog’s needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship. During work hours, I structure my day so dogs are never left unattended for long. If I’m in meetings, I have comfortable dog beds in my office so pups can relax nearby and still feel included and at ease. Outside of that, I build in time for walks, outdoor play, and engagement throughout the day. I provide a safe, structured, and flexible environment tailored to each dog’s needs. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, along with access to nearby parks for longer walks and exercise. I can also use long leads when appropriate to give dogs more freedom while still maintaining control and safety while playing at the park. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level. My own dog is an active doodle who requires a lot of exercise and stimulation, so I’m already in a routine of providing consistent activity, enrichment, and supervision. Visiting dogs can join in on walks and play if they enjoy social interaction, or I can provide more one-on-one attention if that’s what they’re used to. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Cleanliness, supervision, and clear communication with owners are always top priorities so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
