About: Having grown up with dogs, I infuse every walk with personal care and understanding. With me, each stroll becomes a cherished moment for your furry friend. Being retired, I’ve woven dog walks seamlessly into my daily routine. Dog walking isn’t just a service I offer, but a personal joy and focus. With vast availability throughout the week, I ensure every walk is unhurried and devoted, turning each outing into a delightful escape for both me and the furry companion. While I specialize in dog walking, ensuring each pet gets their needed exercise and outdoor time, I prioritize their safety and well being above all. Even though I don’t care for them in homes, during our walks, I’m always alert to their surroundings, avoiding potential hazards, and ensuring they’re comfortable. I also make it a point to understand each dog’s unique preferences and habits, so every walk is tailored to their individual needs. It’s about more than just a walk; it’s about understanding and respecting each dog’s personality on our shared journey.

“Tammie is very reliable, good to check in verify that we are still on schedule and nothing has changed. My dogs love her, I do too. She presents herself very well.”


“Vicente & Victor were very friendly and very quick on communication. Brandi is pretty picky on who she just goes up to and appears pretty comfortable around them. I was pretty nervous since I've only left her with family and friends she knew but they made me feel comfortable and safe having them take her...btw, this is the first time I e ever used a service like this. I'll be continuing our relationship and look forward to the upcoming meetings ..thx guys ?”


“Thanks and have a good weekend”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is mt attention to detail and my surroundings. When coming in and out of houses, I am aware of what doors are open so no pets get out. While on walks, I am checking for other animals so pets don’t dart out or get into an unsafe circumstance. I always prioritize safety and happiness while pets are in my care! I am a college student who works during the weekdays. Rover is another way for me to pick up extra “shifts” in between school and work! I will ensure all safety expectations are met while at a clients home. I want to make sure not only that they are physically safe but that all pets feel safe when I walk into their home!


“My puppy loves his walks but he also loves playing with other dogs. Pedro took him to the dog park to give him a chance to really play and run off his energy. Pedro is so good about looking for ways to help dogs enjoy their outings. I highly recommend him.”


“Joseph was great with my dog Mya. She is nervous around new people but warmed to him quickly. Joseph was professiional and dependable. I would definitely hire him again.”


“Bella has loved her walks with Ariana and I've also enjoyed getting to know her. She walks Bella on different routes and always provides me a map and photos of their walks. Bella and I both look forward to seeing Ariana every day. Her communication is also great and she has been flexible about walk times when I've needed it. I highly recommend Ariana.”

“My Basset Hound named Rufus refuses to use his new doggie door. (He used the old one for 3 years. Not much difference in the 2!) Anyway, now he has to have a walker because I'm away at work too long. Enter Kate! What a delightful, sweet, laid back dog lover! Now Rufus is in love with her. He is so happy. I ask him every night when I get home if he had fun, but I think he wants to keep his 'girlfriend' under wraps for now. Won't say a peep, but I have pics! Thanks Kate for all you do!”
