“Jared and Karen are excellent with Wally. Wally already loves them and looks forward to his daily walks. Both Jared and Karen are huge animal lovers and it shows. I feel very comfortable with them walking Wally because I know they take great care of him.”
“Daniela was great with my dog Fetty. She came to meet her before I left on my trip so that Fetty knew her and was comfortable. I’m away a few times every year and Daniela will be my first choice to take care of Fetty.”

About: Pets have been part of my life since childhood, and I bring over 25 years of hands-on pet-care experience. I own Tammy’s Happy Tails LLC, providing drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for dogs, cats, and other pets. I also volunteer with Blue Chip Animal Rescue. My own dog, Uma, is a 15-year-old tripod who has taught me so much about patience and caring for senior pets and those with special needs. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and loved. Whether your pet enjoys an active walk or quiet companionship, I tailor my visits to their needs and keep you updated with pictures and messages. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life, and I offer flexible scheduling for walks and drop-in visits. Whether you need occasional help or ongoing care, I’m happy to discuss your preferred times and find a schedule that works for both of us. Each visit includes dedicated time and attention to keep your pet comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’d be happy to work with you regarding any specific safety needs for your pet(s)! I would go over everything with you at our meet and greet.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!
About: I've had dogs my whole like since I was a child. First dog was a beagle, then a Brittany Spaniel, then two Golden Retrievers. I've trained and house broken all my dogs and am very good friends with a dog trainer. At the time my friend was a dog trainer I was exposed to all different breads of dogs. I have plenty of time to walk dogs in the evenings and anytime on the weekends. During the week during day specific times can also be accommodated as well. At the time my dogs had a fenced in yard and crate if needed. Currently dogs can be brought into my apartment and I have various places I can take them to play.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages for over a decade. Relatives, friends and acquaintances have relied on me keep their pets safe and happy while they are away. I love animals and am passionate about giving your pet the best care possible. During the summer I am available to pet sit and dog walk anytime, my schedule is very open and flexible. A perfect fit for someone looking for a dog walker during the work day or a dog sitter while you are on vacation. When I pet sit we usually spend a lot of time playing and walking, or sometimes with senior dogs a lot of time just chilling out. I am capable of administering medication to older pups who take medication. It makes me happy to engage in activities my pets love like fetch, playing with toys, or just relaxing in each others company.
“She completely exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely took the time to make sure my dog felt loved and comfortable. After the walk, she stayed and spent extra time with my dog simply because she cared. Then I walked into my kitchen after an exhausting day of work and discovered she had washed my dishes—something I never expected and certainly never asked her to do. That simple act of kindness spoke volumes about the kind of person she is. In a world where people often do only what’s required, she went far beyond that. She is kind, hardworking, thoughtful, and has an incredible work ethic. It’s so refreshing to see a young person with this level of integrity, compassion, and initiative. She is truly one of a kind, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She didn’t just care for my dog—she left me believing there are still genuinely exceptional people out there.”

Cat's, dogs, horses, etc.❤️ Right now I live alone I have a senior dog and for her care until her time.I would love another baby in my life. Thankfully!
About: Hello! My name is Baylor, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. For the past four years, I've worked as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive experience caring for animals and ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and safe. My veterinary background allows me to confidently administer medications, recognize changes in behavior, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. In addition to my clinical experience, I've been pet sitting for many of my veterinary clients over the past few years. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently taking care of pets as my full-time job, allowing me to be very available and have widespread flexibility to fit your scheduling needs. I am able to care for your dog or cat in whichever way feels most comfortable for you, whether that is a puppy who needs training, walks, and crated time, or a senior cat that requires more frequent, attentive visits and a strict schedule of medication. Given my background, I am also happy to provide additional services such as baths, nail trimmings, and gland expressions when necessary.
“Shelby is great! I'm thankful we were able to connect. Things have been very hectic in our world and having someone we can trust walk our very bouncy 80lb puppy has been unbelievably helpful! Shelby asked some good questions about our pup before starting out and I trust her to take good care of Agnes while on their walks. Agnes comes back happy and sleepy everytime - it's a win for everyone!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edwardsville
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Rhavin. From the very beginning she was reliable, communicative, and clearly someone who genuinely cares about animals. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such attentive and capable hands. She showed up on time, sent thoughtful updates, and made sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. She took my dog to the doggie bakery with my permission and got him a treat. Above and beyond. You can tell she takes her job seriously and treats every pet like her own. My dog absolutely loved her, which says everything. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for your pet, I highly recommend her. I would happily book with her again!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
