“Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!”

About: Animals are my passion! I have professionally worked with dogs for 4 years and have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have two cats and one dog of my own at home. I can assure you that with my personal and professional experience that your fur baby will be in good hands! I work full time as a dog groomer so I have a lot of daily experience caring for them. On my days off I am free anytime to drop in or walk your pup. Please check my calendar to see which days I am available. I am also available before or after work on days marked unavailable (depending on the time). Please message me if you have any questions about this! While in your home for drop in visits or picking up your pup for walks you can expect instructions to be followed and everything kept exceptionally tidy. And of course, you can expect them to be showered with love and lots of play time! I will send as many pictures as you want!

About: Warm Greetings! I offer compassionate, kind presence, responsible care, and careful attention to your pets and home, establishing quality relationships with pet owners. My approach in caring for all animals includes unconditional love, patience, responsibility, gentleness, and understanding. Serving furry friends and the families who love them is my passion and fills my heart with joy. I’ve always cherished animals, and have the attention to detail it requires to nurture them. My heart and home has hosted a variety of pets- three energetic Jack Russel Terriers, two sweet tabby cats, and a multitude of small furry, feathered, scaly, and finned animals- including rabbits, chickens, parrots, reptiles, rodents & more! My professional experience has been so rewarding and includes over 10 years of pet sitting and dog walking. I am certified in wildlife rehabilitation and Pet CPR. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and rescues throughout the country —Best Friends Animal Society: Los Angeles, Fur Baby Rescue, Paws of Coronado, and Southeastern Guide Dogs, a facility that trains service dogs for those with vision loss as well as for disabled veterans. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages from seniors, to small puppies and kittens. I love all breeds, and have experience caring for small to medium dogs, (who can resist lap-dog snuggles?) like terriers dachshunds, pugs, and large dogs like Poodles, Doodles, and Retrievers, and Pitties. When sitting for dogs and cats, I spend quality, consistent time with them, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and habits. This allows for developing trust and sweet friendship! I take your beloved pups for daily walks, go to the park, and on runs. We will indulge in lots of playtime together, sharing affection, treats, tummy rubs, and snuggles galore. I also love to give gentle doggy and kitty massages. My communication is flexible based on your needs, but you can always look forward to great communication with me- Including check-ins, and photo and video updates, so you feel in connection with your pet. If you are on vacation, and would like space, tranquility and quiet time off of the phone, I will provide that, and only send vital updates when needed. If a question or issue arises, I quickly reach out, and respond promptly with efficiency. I respect your home and keep your property tidy, clean, organized, and well looked-after, going above and beyond to leave your place in excellent condition for your return. A little about me personally: I lead a quiet and calm pace of life, love being surrounded by nature, green open spaces and especially water- lakes, rivers, pools, ponds, oceans, waterfalls. Some of my interests are meditation, yoga, contemplation, reading, singing, playing guitar and harmonium, art, design, interiors, dance, poetry, literature, writing, creative expression, philosophy, theology, Eastern wisdom cultures (India, Tibet, South East Asia), ancient cultures, Ayurveda, naturopathy, travel, visiting temples and holy places, permaculture, botany, gardening, biology, environmental science, psychology, consciousness, and working to serve humanity, and harmonize our global community. My focus in life is on continually cultivating wisdom, prayer, morality, loving kindness, compassion, joy, and a purposeful existence for the benefit of others, overcoming challenges, and deepening in love, friendliness, openness, and gratitude on a daily basis. I eat a vegetarian diet, and am completely alcohol, drug, and substance free. My daily schedule is generally open for pet care and walks, especially in the afternoons and evenings. My mornings are reserved for meditation, contemplation, singing practice, and creative activities. When I am pet sitting, my morning routine includes pet care and walks. I am attentive to pets throughout the day when pet sitting in your home, and enjoy hanging out with your dog or cat and keeping them company whether we are inside or outside.

About: I'm a devoted lifelong animal lover who's cared for cats and dogs since I was 7. My fur babies are my children that I love more than anything! I'm very committed and look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) to care for and love them like my own! My schedule is flexible, so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I have availability on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby(s) company and feel welcome! I can easily crate your pet(s) if needed.

Sydney has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She’s always on time, incredibly friendly, and clearly loves spending time with him. I really appreciate the care and attention she gives—she doesn’t just rush through the walks but truly engages with my dog. One day when it was raining and he didn’t want to go outside, Sydney stayed and played with him indoors instead, which meant a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Eastgate dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Eastgate.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
