“Erica was AMAZING!! She was able to help me out last minute when I was out of options and walked my little girl twice! My roomate mentioned when she came back for the second walk my dog got so excited she got the zoomies! She took photos of Lupine on the walk that were adorable and I felt very safe with her walking her! Thank you SO MUCH Erica! You have a glowing review from me and I will definitely book with you again! ??”

“Tessa takes great care of Dash! She always communicates effectively, is easy to work with and always keeps me updated on how Dash is doing. Would highly recommend!”

“Being new to the valley, we were so blessed to have found Jen. She’s walks our dog Dakoda when my partner and I work and we are going to continue to have her walk him, and also dog sit when needed. Jen is quick with her responses, super personable, knowledgeable about all breeds, and the best of all updates and sends pics of her adventures. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a dog sitter!”

About: I love all animals, with proper direction I’m positive I can give adequate care to any and all animals and ensure their safety and health. I work full time with a nonprofit organization downtown that helps unhoused youths. My schedule is Sunday through Thursday from 2:30 pm - 10:30. My days off are Friday and Saturday. I can take one break depending on the how far the location is from my work to give a potty break. In my free time I’m devoted to whatever may come and is needed for any and all pets ❤️ I’ve worked with the state for most of my adult life and always have passed a background check. My resume includes elderly care, hospital healthcare, in home healthcare, and most recently three years as a domestic violence/homeless shelter advocate with a non profit organization in rural Alaska. I’ve had animals my entire life and enjoy the company of all! I have experience with not only cats and dogs but fish, rodents and reptiles as well. I am open and eager to learn and care for all different kinds of animals and am confident in my abilities to do so with adequate information from the pet parents.
“Leyla is very reliable and so kind! My dog looks forward to her walks with them. It’s so nice to feel stressfree when I have long work days knowing that my dog gets a good walk in! Thanks Leyla 🐾”

“Ariel is so so great. She has walked our dogs a few times now and this last time I realized in the middle of the day that I forgot to top off their water bowl and was worried they would drink all the water hours before we got home. When I returned home I saw that Ariel had noticed it was low and refilled it without me even mentioning anything. This exemplifies how committed she is to providing great care.”

About: I've had my own dogs since l've been born. I started caring for others dogs at a young age around my neighborhood and for family friends. I have many references that speak highly of the care I have given to their pets whether that be feeding them, walking them, or just loving on them while their owners are away. I am currently a student at Ole Miss and do not have any other commitments that take major time from loving on your pets, I am available most weekdays/weekends. My school days only consist of Monday's and Wednesday’s until 3:45 with a hour and a half between classes, but i have a roommate who would willing jump in to help at any point in time. I have no animals in my college home in Oxford. We have a good sized un-fenced back yard and a fenced in dog area. I am perfectly fine with dogs inside the house and on most of the furniture as well. I also can crate your dog, if that is something you would like. I’m back in college at Ole Miss, I have class for about 2 hours each day but other then that I am home all day. Always on leash when outside unless I’m a fenced in area. Will always ask if they are friendly with other dogs so I know how to keep them safe while on walks.
About: I have been around dogs since I was a child. My work experience with pets consists of being a veterinary assistant and a k9 coach at a positive reinforcement doggy daycare. My photos are of various breeds that I have experience living with and caring for. However, working in doggy daycare I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds. Everyday I spend time with small to large breeds, from yorkies and dachshunds to Great Danes and Rhodesian ridgebacks. I also have base access. I’m currently home full-time so I have plenty of time to dedicate towards caring for pets. My schedule is pretty wide open outside of holidays. I am available on base. I love spending time with animals whether it be snuggling or doing activities to help them get their energy out. I know many pet parents myself included have schedules set for their pets and always strive to keep animals on their schedule.
About: Hello everyone! My name is Lilly! I am an army wife and I have two fur babies of my own! I have about 6 years of experience with Rover. I moved here from Fort Carson, Colorado recently and we are loving it here so far! I am home mainly full time and I am very active. I take about 1-2 hours out of my day in the mornings to go to the gym. Other than that, I am home full time, walking dogs around our neighborhood or bringing them on trials. I am located on JBER in the Silver Run neighborhood which is very dog friendly! We have a fenced in back yard that Dixie and Bruce spend most of their day in and out of (during the summers in Alaska 😅) ! I understand the concern of leaving your fur baby with just anyone but I am a very trustworthy and reliable person! Feel free to message me at any time! I am a very active person, constantly moving & walking. When your pet stays with me, they will always be given the maximum care they deserve. If your pet is more active, I am more than happy to take them on trails, hikes, dog park or car rides. I have a fenced in back yard with cameras. We live in a safe neighborhood on base. Pets will not be left unattended or alone outside due to wildlife that is on base. I mostly spend most of my mornings outside, enjoying coffee and letting pets play. I have doggy gates to separate pets that may not get along. Pets are fed separately, away from each other. Pets will be let out every 1-2 hours.
About: I’m a fur mom of sweet Boston terriers. Spreading the love and care to my community is a privilege I take seriously. I’ll take care of any animal as if they were my own. I’m available daily to care for any pet needs. I’m available during the week and weekends anytime. Let me know you pets needs and I’ll be happy to provide loving care. My personal pets are spoiled rotten. Your fur babies will be too. All fur babies will be nurtured and cared for to a T as if they were my own.
