About: I’m a certified and attentive pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had multiple pets in my home since childhood, provided pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the years, and currently have a very active working dog I’ve raised and trained from puppyhood. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and routines, and I focus on calm, consistent care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work as a freelancer in entertainment so I have lots of availability during mornings and weekdays while you're at work with plenty of flexibility. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of open space in the house as well as crates and barriers to keep unwanted behaviors contained and controlled safely. My car is pet friendly for transport and am capable of out-hiking even the most energetic dogs with great leash control. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with lots of sidewalks and minimal trash and wildlife.

“Ashley is a lovely young woman who truly loves the dogs she cares for. Our situation was just needing someone to walk Cheyenne twice a day. She was timely and willing to make a change in time with notice. We will miss seeing her every day??”
About: I love all types of animals, and I always have. I have been taking care of my dogs as much as I can for the past three years. I have taken care of my family members and friends' dogs for a while. They think of me first because I am caring, considerate, and I can't say no to a cute, fluffy face. I am good at controlling behavior on walks, food-motivated tasks, and getting them to trust me. I hope you will trust me with your pets. I just got done with my 2nd year of college, so I will have plenty of time now to hang out with your animals! I am available any time of day for however long you need me to keep your pet happy. I have a decent-sized yard with a fence, I will keep a close eye on them the whole time, I can crate them if necessary, and I have reliable transportation at any time of day.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Melissa was fantastic with Daisy, who can be a little shy. She was very much in tune with daisy’s energy level while walking and let her just rest on the shade when she needed a break. She was also super responsive and flexible when plans changed and she was asked to feed daisy after her walk.
Sabrina did an amazing job walking my dog! She was punctual, communicative, and very caring throughout the whole experience. She sent updates and photos during the walk, and my dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well exercised. It’s obvious Sabrina genuinely cares about animals and takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!
Jen takes very good care of my doggy Charlotte and I appreciate her so very much, she always keeps me in the loop and respond to my text messages daily, she’s also very kind and thoughtful bringing in any packages that are on my front porch. Charlotte and I have come to rely on her a great deal. Thank you so much Jen for being there for us.
Giana was awesome! I asked her pretty last minute to walk our pittie girl because our regular walker was not available and she was quick to reply and setting up a meet and greet was easy. Great communication, on time and the cutest pics of our pup sent to me! Our girl was clearly well taken care of. Thanks Giana!!!
Lea did an exceptional job taking care of our of poodle/ chihuahua mix. She followed our instructions precisely and when he didn’t want to take his meds with th treat provided, she improvised with a different treat to make sure he took the medication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and reliable sitter for their fur baby
