About: With over 3 years of experience living with dogs and cats, I treat every pet like family. I offer a calm, trustworthy presence that keeps tails wagging. I’m currently working remotely, so caring for my maltese typically has been a breeze! I maintain a feeding, grooming, exercise, and mental enrichment routine with my dog. I feed my dog 2x a day and walk her for 30 minutes in the evening. Since she’s crate trained, she enjoys lounging around her bed while I work.

“Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”

I won’t be able to welcome any pets into my home since I have two cats, but will always walk into an animal’s space with love and respect (and a lot of admiration in the form of telling them how perfect they are). I understand some animals can be very anxious in general or around new people, so I keep that in mind and will always respect their boundaries. Lots of pets and compliments for them if they’re comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home and have cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors since I was young. I currently have a guinea pig and truly enjoy caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playing, and bathing pets—and I’m always eager to learn about other animals to provide the best care possible.

About: I've taken care of every kind of dog since I was the age of 11. The type of dog breeds I have taken care of are golden retrievers, mixed breed dogs, chihuahuas and pomeranians. Neighbors and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine and take their dogs to the vet. I have trained puppies and taken care of senior dogs. The first puppy that I trained was my mixed breed dog who we got at the age of six weeks old. I am currently training my 7 month old mixed breed puppy basic commands. The senior dog that I have recently cared for was a chihuahua who had a grain allergy. I am using Rover as my full time job. The service that I offer at the moment is dog walking. I am usually home alot but may need to leave for doctor appointments or to run errands. Owners can expect me to be away for short periods of time, but you can check always check my calendar for availabilities. I have a puppy of my own that I take care of daily. I feed, walk, play, bathe and take care of my puppy's overall health, well-being and safety as part of our daily and weekly routine. I feed my puppy twice a day along with rewarding her with treats throughout the day. I take her on walks either once or twice a day around our neighborhood or at a park. I play with her outside in our backyard or take her to the park. I love on her and provide a safe and comfortable environment for her. I always schedule regular veterinary checkups and nail grinding appointments for her. Once a week I give my puppy a dental treat to ensure that her teeth, gums and breathe are taken care of.

“Taylor was a big help when work was keeping me from staying home with my pup! She takes lots of photos and sends updates during the outing. Taylor was also flexible in rescheduling walks as my schedule changed. Very communicative! Would book again.”


About: I've cared for dogs my whole life. There has never been a time I didn’t have at least one by my side! I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to giant breeds. As a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of experience, I specialize in helping reactive dogs, shy dogs, and those with big feelings. I use positive, game-based training to make every interaction safe, calm, and fun. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing a gentle approach, I adapt to meet each dog’s needs with patience and care. My work life is very flexible, which makes pet care a natural part of my day. I run my own dog training business, so I can easily plan my schedule around walk times and drop-in visits. Whether it's morning, midday, or evening, I have the freedom to give dogs the time and attention they deserve. I do work an evening shift at Applebee's from 5 to 9 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I’m available the rest of the week for pet care. Safety is always my top priority on walks. I use well-fitted gear, avoid overstimulating areas, and stay tuned in to each dog’s comfort level. I take time to build trust using a calm voice, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I also like to add fun to our walks by playing simple games along the way, not just for exercise, but for mental enrichment too. I can adjust the pace, route, and even the treats I use depending on the dog’s needs or any allergies. My goal is for every walk to feel safe, peaceful, and enjoyable.

One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”


Caroline K.
“I could not be happier with my Rover dog walker, Caroline! I have two large dogs (Saint Bernard and Labrador Retriever) and finding someone who can handle both of them confidently was a challenge. From the very first meet and greet, I knew I was in great hands. Caroline was punctual, professional and clearly experienced with big dog breeds. Every walk is a highlight for my dogs. They come back happy, tired, and well-exercised, which is no small feat given their size and energy levels! I also love the updates and photos she sends after each walk - it's such a reassuring touch. Highly recommend Caroline for anyone with dogs who needs reliable, loving care!”

She has also taken care of my pets when I am out of town, and that gives me a peace of mind knowing my pets are in excellent hands. She would make a great addition to your company.”

Madelyn S.
“I can’t say enough great things about Madelyn! Not only is she an incredibly reliable and trustworthy dog walker, but her background in dog training has made a huge difference in other dog’s behavior. One thing that really impressed me is how well-trained her own dogs are—it's obvious she has a natural talent and a lot of experience with dogs. She combine exercise with positive reinforcement techniques that really work. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs and treat them like her own. I feel completely at ease knowing my dogs are in such capable hands.”
