Dog Walking Downtown

“Mallory is so good with our extra large girl. You can tell that she truly loves animals. Our dog (daughter) loves her and is always so happy to see her. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a lil help with their precious pet(s).”

About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs. I treat them like they’re mine own. I go out of my way to make them feel happy. I’m retired so my days and evenings are open to care for your pets. My hours are very flexible. Time with your pet will be the best part of my day. I love to walk, so your dog will get as much walking in as he or she wants. Their schedule will be my schedule. There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood, so your fur baby will meet new friends.

About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat several different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. My schedule is very open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.

About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.

“Ashley & Kyle are amazing!! When I’m home and they help walk Pepper, she looks so happy when she returns. I’m grateful I have their help to get my dog exercise and make her happy.”

About: I’ve loved animals for many years, and since joining Rover I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through drop-ins, walks, and overnight house sitting. I’ve cared for pets for everything from short visits to extended trips lasting multiple weeks. My experience includes feeding and refreshing water, litter box care, dog walking, playtime and enrichment, administering medications, maintaining established routines, and providing companionship. I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with more involved routines. One thing I’ve learned is that every pet is different. Some want constant attention and playtime, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality rather than expecting them to adjust to me. Communication is also a big priority. I provide regular updates and photos, follow instructions carefully, and want owners to feel confident that both their pets and their home are being well cared for. I’m grateful to have developed relationships with repeat clients who trust me to care for their pets whenever they travel, and I’d love the opportunity to become someone your pets know and trust, too. I’m a teacher and an experienced pet sitter with a growing group of wonderful repeat clients. Since beginning on Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. During the school year, I work Monday–Friday and typically leave home around 7:00–7:15 AM and return around 4:15–4:30 PM. I’m available for drop-ins and walks before and after work, as well as on weekends. I also offer overnight house sitting for pets who can comfortably and safely be alone during my workday. During school breaks, holidays, and summer vacation, my availability expands considerably and often includes daytime visits and walks. My Rover calendar is kept updated to reflect these changes. During school breaks I have much more daytime flexibility. Upcoming breaks include Thanksgiving break (Nov. 25–27), winter break (Dec. 21–Jan. 1), and Easter break (Mar. 26 & 29). I also have additional individual days off throughout the school year, so feel free to check my Rover calendar or ask about a specific date. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure everything is secure when I arrive and leave. I also provide regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If anything seems unusual with your pet, I’ll communicate with you right away.

“I cannot thank Chelsea enough for coming to my rescue again last minute. I have been struggling with health issues and she is so understanding and willing to help me with my baby. My dog gets so excited to see her! Thank you so much Chelsea!”

About: Animals have always been an important part of our lives. We raised one of our dogs from an 8 week old puppy and adopted another from a shelter when she was estimated to be 1 to 2 years old, she was with us for over 17 years! We cared for them through every stage of life. That experience taught us the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for your furry family member with the same love and attention we gave our own. I currently work part time, which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. My schedule varies, but I’m available many afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m active and genuinely enjoy long walks, hikes, and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or plenty of exercise, I’ll make sure they get the attention and activity they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I cared for my own two dogs for many years, raising one from a puppy and adopting the other from a shelter. I have experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, including senior dogs with changing needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, provide regular updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect I gave my own dogs. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Alexus came early to play with Milo. She was very friendly and communicative. She left so many photos and expressed that showed her amazing work with my dog. She was amazing!!”

About: I love animals, particularly cats. I’m patient but firm. I can ignore the incessant whines for excessive amounts of food. I am comfortable administering medications and picking up messes. Your fur baby is safe with me! I’m a student in college. I am free most afternoons and evenings and can spend the night at your house or apartment. Unfortunately, bringing the animals to my apartment is not an option. I’ve got plenty of free time and am excited to take care of your animal! I can not take animals at my apartment. I am more than happy to come to your location. I can do walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, playing, and any of the dirty work that comes with it!

“Ashley is amazing & is so flexible with my last minute walk requests. She's so patient with Ripley; even taught him how to shake with his other paw. 💜”

“I am recovering from shoulder replacement and Ella is taking my sweet Emma for walks while I am recuperating. She is very professional and Emma is excited every time. Yes I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Ella. I really appreciate you.”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I grew up with pets and have had my own boxer mix for the past 8 years, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including giving medications and helping with post-surgery recovery. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a laid-back senior, or just needs lots of love and attention, I'll care for them like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have my own pet and already structure my day around providing attention, exercise, and care. I work Monday through Friday, and i can provide care before work, during my hour-long lunch break, and after work for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to longer walks, cuddles, and fun activities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and truly at home. I meet each pet where they are and build trust at their pace, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and reserved. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. My gentle 11-year-old boxer gets along well with other pets and helps create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way.

About: I love animals and am committed to giving them enriching lives. While your pet is in my care, you can expect them to play a variety of brain-engaging games, eat out of puzzle feeders, and receive undivided love and affection! I work a very flexible job that allows me to fit in walks and drop-in visits whenever needed. There are no times that are too early or too late for my schedule! I will follow any procedures and protocols you have put in place for your pet. Your pet's routine is important to me and them! Animals thrive off of routine, so I will follow any directions you give to the letter.

About: I have been petsitting for many years, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs with a wide array of needs. My partner Lux (pictured with my grandmother’s two dogs in the arm chair) and I split our time between Lincoln and Estes Park, where we help care for my grandmother and her two dogs. I have provided exemplary pet care, earning positive reviews and repeat clients in both places. I am currently back in Lincoln visiting for over a month, during which time I have an incredibly flexible schedule and would love to take care of your pets! In addition to helping care for my grandmother’s dogs, I have one cat named Rumi, who I adopted and have cared for throughout a series of surgeries and other health problems. This experience has helped me learn how to administer medication to animals, follow strategic dietary needs, and keep up with other basic health needs. I have had pets around the house since I was three years old, and my daily duties feeding, watering, bathing, walking, and playing with them began around age 7. I love animals and the outdoors, and am always full of energy to take them on walks or to play. I am good at keeping up with a pet’s schedule due to my own experience caring for my cat who I love dearly. I understand the importance of reliability, attention to detail, and energetic play time for your pet’s well being. I have learned these things from keeping up with my cat’s litter box needs, scheduling in daily play time, feeding him twice a day on the same schedule as when I eat, and following medical regimes. **PLEASE NOTE: My partner, Lux, (pictured) will be joining me on any overnight house-siting jobs. Upon receiving overnight booking requests I will check with clients to verify that you are okay with both of us spending the night in your home with your animals.** I am have an incredibly flexible schedule, with most days and times available for booking. I am looking for regular opportunities to provide drop-in visits, dog walking services, and house-sitting. Upon my first meeting with pets, I greet them with a friendly, calm energy and let them warm up to me as they need to. I give pets in my care undivided attention, keeping a careful eye on behavior, the details of the space, etc. I am promptly communicative with owners if anything seems to be out of the ordinary or if any issues arise. I also make safety plans with owners so that I know how to respond quickly in the case of emergency.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was around 12 years old. I am familiar with big dogs, and have taken care of many dogs who tend to jump or bark. I am a student at MUSC in a hybrid program, so I love to take care of pups during my free time! It’s also a great way for me to make some extra money for school :) I have an unfenced backyard, so I primarily walk dogs around my neighborhood on a leash. There are also many dog parks very close by that are great for letting the dogs run around!

“Hondo loved the walk. Was very tired after”

About: I've had cats for 16 years, so I feel very comfortable around cats and know what makes them happy! I have dog sat on multiple occasions and I love dog walking! I work Monday-Thursday, 8am-3pm! On the weekends, my days are usually pretty open! I can do visits before or after work and my mom is free in the afternoons and could cover the afternoon shift if needed (she is also on rover). I follow each owner's instructions to make sure their pet’s routine is maintained! I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention in their home :)
