About: I work from home, so I’m available to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I have years of experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. While I’ve spent more time with cats, I’m quickly gaining hands-on dog experience thanks to friends who trust me to dog-sit their pups. I’ve even rescued and returned lost dogs in my neighborhood—proof that I take every animal’s safety and well-being seriously. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Your dogs and cats will be in caring, reliable hands. I work from home and can easily flex my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. My schedule is M-Th, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. I do go into the office on the occasional Thursday, but that is also flexible. I have a yard for pups to play around in. Living close to the Capitol building, I have many walking l9cations available to me. I've been watching dog training videos and learning how dogs interact with each other and other humans. My home is cozy and clean. I have space for smaller pets + a basement if they need more room to run around inside.
“Summer was friendly & took to Kona right away. She provides great detailed reports of their walks & of course I love the photos. Would definitely recommend Summer to walk your dog.”

“I highly reccomend Brett! I got very sick and was in a pretty desperate situation with my newly rescued, very large pitt mix. I contacted Brett and he got in touch with me right away. He came at the drop of a hat a few days when Ash really need a walk. He even came from farther than he routinely helps people. Very reliable, punctual and kind. Was easily able to handle my 85 lb pitt mix. (With bad manners...lol) I'm very grateful for the help he gave me. Give him a call!”

“Helena made time to do a meet & greet with my dog prior to booking. She responded quickly & professionally to every message, and she kindly answered all of my questions/concerns. She gave me updates & pictures after every walk which was awesome! I knew my dog was in great hands, I'd 10/10 recommended her to anyone & I will definitely be booking her in the future!! Thank you Helena! 😊”

“Matthew was courteous and quick with communication for our first meet & greet + walk. It is very clear that he has worked a lot with dogs and understands their unique personalities. Thank you!”

“Maddie is a wonderful dog walker! She handled my two 60 pounders with grace on hour-long walks and is dog sitting for us during the holiday. She's prompt, calm, and trustworthy.”

About: I’ve dedicated my career to working with animals, from wildlife in the field to looking after pets at home. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Animal Science, which gave me a strong foundation in animal behavior, health, and care. Combined with my hands-on experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My Experience: -Background in animal biology and real-world care, providing both knowledge and compassion. -Experience with senior pets and those needing special care, including administering medications. -Worked in a greyhound rescue facility, training retired and injured greyhounds to adjust to normal pet lives in hopes of becoming adopted. -Skilled with energetic puppies who need patience, play, and training reinforcement. -Reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative—I treat every pet as if they were my own. -I have a soft spot for chubby pets and would love to take your chubster on a walk toward better health and happiness! Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or extra snuggles, I provide the same level of care and attention that gives pet parents peace of mind. I am currently available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday, preferably during the day. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily routine—I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while sticking to their normal routine, so they feel happy and comfortable when you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get outside for potty breaks or walks, and enjoy plenty of playtime and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that means extra patience with puppies, gentle care for seniors, or lots of snuggles for cuddle bugs. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Wade has been amazing with my dog Wednesday!! She absolutely loves him and enjoys her time with him. I can tell that he truly does care and love dogs. I am thankful that he accepted my request to walk Wednesday and hope to continue to have him walk with her. I work long hours and I will keep asking Wade to walk Wednesday until he is not able to anymore. Your dog will thank you for selecting him as your dog walker!”

“Maria is especially good at coaxing our dog out on walks when the pup doesn't want to go. We also appreciate that she submits Rover cards for each visit and leaves the house exactly as she found it. We feel so much better about being at work all day knowing Maria is spending time with our dog.”

About: Im Ana, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park. I’m able to give your dog/cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. I can take dogs to dog park or the nearest park to make sure they get the most of the visit. As a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) with a flexible schedule, Pet care fits into my daily routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring their overall well-being. Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond as that is my style in life and with animals and people.
“We love working with Maggie! She has been so good with our very large puppy and so communicative with us. We really appreciate her notes, questions, and observations of our puppy after walks. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you for being so great with Jet!! We really appreciate you. Johanna is an amazing listener and asks great questions to really understand your dog and provide the best care possible. Really love the attention to detail. Thank you, Johanna!!”

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.
“Kacie was a true treasure, she was always been on time, totally reliable. Being a medical traveler with random shifts it isn’t easy to find someone that is willing to do different hours and days. The dogs love her and I will continue using her services as long as I am in this area.”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sophie is such a natural --at caring for dogs as well as people. When I had a sudden death in my family, she stepped up to cover every day I needed, with kind words, extra help and collaboration when we required it. She is now close friends with my poodle, and a warm, reliable friend to me. My dog learns everyday from Sophia!

Lauren was wonderful with our dog Millie. We had her come a couple times a week prior to our trip to get to know Millie and it worked out great. Lauren communicated very well. She was on time for every walk and followed instructions as there were a couple changes along the way. Gave daily reports and pics which helped. Thank you Lauren for being so great with our fur baby

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
