Dog Walking Foster

About: I’m 49 years old and have had the joy of caring for dogs throughout my life. I regularly babysit my neighbors’ dogs and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Because I work from home, I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog attention, companionship, and care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Their day will include plenty of playtime, activity, outdoor time, and lots of love, with a comfortable balance of fun and relaxation. When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, secure, comfortable, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. I have a small terrier of my own who loves having a friend to play with, so your pup can have a built-in companion if they enjoy socializing with other dogs. I also have a spacious backyard where dogs can safely play and relax, plus a dog park nearby for pups who enjoy getting out and exploring. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll take the time to learn what makes your dog feel at home—from their feeding schedule and favorite activities to their sleeping habits and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine. You’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and make sure we’re a great fit!

About: I have been fascinated with canines since childhood! 🐾 To get down to specifics, wolves are my passion and through that passion I gained a love and respect for man’s best friend. I have always been the “dog encyclopedia” for my family and friends, and am always quick to offer advice and assistance when needed. I have been a pet caregiver and dog sitter for over a decade. I love to built strong relationships with my clients and their pets, who I treat like my own! I’m familiar with potty training, socialization, positive reinforcement training, and medication management for geriatric dogs. 🐾 From puppies to well-loved seniors, they all hold a special place in my heart!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a student and part-time dog sitter for two families that I have known for years, so my schedule is very flexible! In your home, I will do my best to maintain your typical schedule and routine with your dogs to ensure their comfort while you’re away! I do yard checks to maintain safety, discuss your dogs boundaries, and prefer to have meet ups with you and your dog(s) before the dates of my services (:

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats and dogs, and I’ve had two to four dogs in my home at a time since I was about five years old. Labs have always had an especially big place in my life, and I’ve had my Lab/Pit Bull mix since 2017. I now also share my home with a Goldendoodle! Growing up with multiple animals taught me how different every dog can be. I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, personalities, and ages. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather have some extra snuggles and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Most importantly, I know how much our animals mean to us. I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I expect for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a natural part of my day. I’m already accustomed to planning my days around animals, from feeding and caring for dogs to spending time at the barn with horses. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and extra one-on-one attention fit easily into my routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, personality, body language, feeding schedule, medications or special instructions, and any boundaries you have in place. I believe consistency helps animals feel safe, so I’ll follow your normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to animals who need a little more patience and time to warm up. My goal is for you to feel confident while you’re away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, cared for, and getting plenty of attention.

“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover walker! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was well cared for and happy. We truly appreciate the professionalism and kindness, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Jeanette is AMAZING! She is such a great communicator! So sweet with my pup and just amazing over all! I couldn’t be happier with someone like her walking my pup! She is trust worthy, sweet, and kind.”

About: I have a senior diabetic dog, Diesel, so I truly understand the level of care pets need—especially those with medical or special needs. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds and know how to create a calm, loving environment. Whether it’s administering medications, offering comfort, or sticking to routines, I treat every pet like family. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry loved one is in experienced, compassionate hands. I’m available and excited to watch your fur babies! Can’t wait to help! I’m looking forward to meeting your babies and helping out in any way I can! I care for pets in their home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also offer stays in my home as well if that’s something you and your pet prefer. I follow routines, give lots of love, and keep your space respected.

“Felicia took care of our Frenchie on short notice. She is very personable and cared for my dog while we were away. She sends frequent updates to make you feel reassured that your pet is doing great! She will go above and beyond for her clients. If we ever need this service again she will be the first person we call.”

Michael M.

“Super professional and communicative! She kept me updated the whole time and took great care of my Nova. I’ll def be booking with her again 10/10”

“There are people who simply provide a service, and then there are people who become an indispensable part of your life. Ariel is firmly in the latter category. She became a trusted partner during a particularly difficult chapter while I was recovering from major surgery. Knowing that Milo was in her care brought a level of reassurance that is hard to overstate. Aerial is dependability personified, always on time, often to the minute, with clear, prompt communication and remarkable flexibility whenever last-minute changes arose. Not once did those adjustments come with the slightest hint of frustration or attitude. She simply found a way to make things work. What truly sets her apart, however, is her relationship with dogs. She genuinely loves Milo, and it’s obvious he feels the same. She has the rare combination of warmth, confidence, and deep experience that allows her to take charge naturally. Her calm, capable presence inspires trust, and you immediately know your dog is in exceptionally good hands. My gratitude for Ariel goes far beyond dog walking. She provided peace of mind when I needed it most, and for that I will always be thankful. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection. Absolute Gem!!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Since I was a little, I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets — from silly cocker spaniels and lazy basset hounds, to big berneses and slobbery blood hounds — and I’ve always loved getting to know each pet’s unique personality. So much so, that seven years ago (in my senior year of college), I brought home my own boxer/pittie mix, Lucy. She’s been my best friend and constant companion, and I’m so blessed to have her. Pets become part of our families, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them! Because I work remotely, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I am a big believer in being patient, attentive, and communicative. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos! I work a fully remote job! My main tasks consist of random phone calls and emails (so wifi is definitely needed), but isn't consuming, so I have tons of down time, which means tons of one on one attention with your pup! In regard to housesitting, my goal is to be around most of the time, however I do have to step out from time to time for the occasional work meeting or errands. Since my job is so flexible, it allows me to maximize time spent with your dog, which means more playtime, more pets, and more attention! Given the nature of my full time remote work, I’m very detail-oriented, quick to communicate, and resourceful. I have my own back up leashes, back up poop bags, and respect house rules. I’m very adaptable, and dedicated to making sure to serve you and your fur baby in the best ways possible! I really aim to adapt and mirror your pet’s daily routine and what they are used to, so that it’s almost like you are still there with them.

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life, and I currently have three cats! I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have 9 months of professional experience working at a cat lounge, where I cared for 30+ cats at a time. I’ve also volunteered with animals and have experience caring for pets with many different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love taking the time to understand each pet and make them feel comfortable! I’m currently planning to start college online, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. I’m able to offer plenty of one-on-one attention, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and consistency they’re used to! I have lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs, including 9 months of professional experience working at a cat lounge and years of pet sitting for family, friends, and others. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you truly trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and patience while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!

About: FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat. As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss. What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.

“I wasn’t really around but heard it went well and so appreciate Katelyn walking the dog in this brutal heat. Katelyn was on time each day and managed our sweet little pup very well!”

“Harriet was a trooper with our 3 dogs, two of whom are big and bunny crazy. We really appreciated her willingness to come on short notice and get our buddies out for an hour walk in the early morning!”

About: Dog owners will love how passionate I am about animals and they will feel super comfortable leaving their furry friends in my hands!

“Lily is amazing! My dog can be skittish but has quickly warmed up to Lily. She always brings her back happy and tired, which is all this dog mom wants.”
