About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

About: Hi, I’m Karen! 🐾 I’ve always been an animal person, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love. I currently run a pet essentials business focused on helping pet parents find products for their animals, so pet care is something that is truly part of my everyday life. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, preferences, and quirks. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away while also giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. When I care for your pet, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure they receive plenty of interaction and companionship rather than simply being left on their own. For dogs, I’m happy to incorporate walks, playtime, enrichment, and whatever activities they enjoy most. For cats, I love spending time with them, playing with their favorite toys, and giving them attention while also respecting their space when they want some alone time. I currently offer overnight sitting in your home, where I’m respectful of your space and treat your home with the same care and consideration I would want for my own. Before each stay or visit, I’m happy to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and anything else that will help me care for them properly. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your pets are not just being “watched” they’re being genuinely cared for. 🐶🐱🐰💕 Pet care is something that naturally fits into my lifestyle. I currently run a pet essentials business, so animals and their care are already a big part of my day to day life. I’m comfortable structuring my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for and making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, meals, playtime, and companionship according to their normal routine. I’m also very communicative and easy to reach, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you feel informed and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I currently offer overnight pet sitting in the client’s home. I understand that staying in their familiar environment can be much less stressful for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and surroundings. I follow the instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive regular interaction and companionship throughout the day. I’m also respectful of your home and your routines while I’m there. My goal is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away.

“Cielo was wonderful! She was on time, super friendly and very knowledgeable about various dogs breeds and training techniques. My little guy Ziggy immediately warmed up to her and felt very comfortable. He rushed right out the door with her for their first walk. LOL. Thank you again and you will be hearing from me again soon! ♥️♥️♥️”
“Bethany did a great job taking care of our dog, Mia. She arrived everyday, twice a day on time. She posted when Mia’s walks started and ended. She sent multiple pictures and videos so we knew Mia was OK. I will definitely recommend Bethany and we will be rebooking with her when we need a dog walker.”
About: I have experience with training and walking high-energy and strong breeds. I’ve raised a Husky, Labrador, and Pitbull mix, so I’m confident handling all sizes, puppies to seniors. Safe, reliable, and attentive—your dog is in experienced hands. I have always had a special spot for dogs! I’m a professional soccer player and while I’m in my hometown on vacation I have plenty of free time in my daily routine. Pet care fits in perfectly as I love staying active and enjoy spending that time walking, running, and caring for dogs. I’m flexible, reliable, and excited to give dogs the best walk or run they’ve ever had. I provide attentive, hands-on care in my home or a client’s home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I can remember, I’ve never lived without a pet so friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe and care for their pets. Dogs are my spirit animal and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my free time than being around them :) I have open availability. I’m a professional dancer so any time I’m not in rehearsals or classes, I want to spend it with animals. I will not be able to provide pet care at my home due to the fact that my house is a strict no pet house. In your home I will return it better than I found it and will care for your space and your animal well.

About: I've been around animals all of my life, from dogs and cats to chickens, rabbits, and goats. I do, however, have cats and am willing to help care for yours, too. I love all animals and, I'm happy to say, most of them tend to find me friendly enough to warm up to, too. Growing up my family always had a dog, often multiple dogs at a time plus a couple of cats over the years, which helped teach me how to be responsible in caring for them. I learned how to pick up after them, walk them, feed them, bathe them, medicate them, and, the best part, love them, all of which I find rewarding in their own way. Since then, whenever it was possible, I'd help step in to sit for loved ones who needed their pets cared for when they were out of town or to walk them when they weren't able to do so themselves. Over the years I have discovered that there's plenty of owners who sometimes need an extra helping hand with pets while they're away or when life becomes too chaotic, which is where I hope to come in. I'd love to help relieve the stress of your day to day by checking in on your sweet fur baby while you're at work, to help with their medications when required, to let them out to take care of their business, talk them on walks or simply to keep them from feeling too lonely until you return. My schedule is quite flexible which gives me more time to spend with your pup! Whether it is the weekend, the middle of the work week, or at an odd hour, feel free to reach out and see if can't work together. Each pet is unique and will require it's own personal care, so please feel free to list any restrictions or special requirements that you or your pet might need during our time together!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downey
Madeline was flexible and was able to walk my little girl Aria last minute thing. She was available and kept communication and took pictures. I felt comfortable. Madeline is a trustworthy person. I had to leave, left my house key under that mat. She made my little girl feel safe
Leila did an amazing job caring for Shiloh. She was very communicative, prompt and professional. We completely trusted her coming into our home to feed and walk Shiloh while we were away. Shiloh was so happy and looks forward to us leaving again so he can see Leila again!
I needed my little girl to get walked, last minute thing, and Amy was available. She responded back to me. She kept communication and she followed instructions. I had to step out of my house, and left my key on the side. Trustworthy person. She sent me a picture of Aria going for her walk. My little girls enjoys her walks. I appreciate you Amy for walking Aria. I recommend her as a dog walker
Allen is a friendly and enthusiastic person. His personality meshes perfectly with our high energy boxer! It was our first time using Rover, and Allen did a great job helping us understand what to expect throughout the walk and how to prepare for it as well. We felt our pup was in good hands and will reach out to Allen for services in the future.
I had a fantastic experience with Anika as Kora’s dog walker. Anika was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Before booking, I met Anika and informed her that Kora was not spayed and was currently in heat. Anika was very mindful of this, and she took great care of Kora, ensuring her safety and well-being, even when a stray dog approached when walking Kora around my neighborhood. It’s clear that Anika genuinely cares about the dogs she walks, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Anika, for your outstanding service!
