Dog Walkers in Granite, IA

About: Hello, my name is Kindra! I got my Bachelors Degree from University of Wisconsin with a major in Wildlife Education. I am on Rover on the side because I love pets. I have cared for many dogs and cats in the past, and I currently have two cats. I have had internship and volunteer positions where I performed animal husbandry to a wide variety of animals, including reptiles and amphibians. I love all sorts of animals and want to work with more in my free time because it's what I love, and most importantly to better my skills with them. Thank you for considering me. I am employed full time, and I do 4 10-hour shifts. So, my availability for pet sitting is on my days off. Feel free to message me to see if I'm available or if you have any questions about my availability. *If your location is outside of my radius, I will charge an extra $5 per day of bookings to account for gas.* I am able to do check-ins and walks to let your pets out and play with them if needed (all animals deserve at least a little play time 😉)! I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells around the neighborhood, and just have some quality petting time!

“Mattie was great. I am waiting for knee surgery and can't walk my dogs so a friend recommended Rover. I chose Mattie and she came over the same day I booked. She walked my dogs and I was able to bicycle along with them and we had a very nice time. I highly recommend her! Thanks Mattie :)”

“We have been using Zach to walk our dog for the past couple months. Very respectful, polite, and keeps me updated with all the bookings. Excellent at responding and extremely trustworthy. We will continue to book- very happy customers!! :)”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and attention to detail. I have experience administering medications and actually enjoy keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I’m reliable, gentle, and passionate about creating a calm, cozy space where your pet feels completely safe and loved. I work full-time weekday mornings, but after 1pm I’m all yours for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings—weekends are my time to recharge with my own fur babies. I’d love to help make your pet’s weekday routine extra special! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and loving. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds—and give your pet all the love and attention they’re used to. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own little fur family.

“Olivia had great communication and offered to help with short notice. It was so nice knowing we could leave for a long period of time and Baxter was taken care of! She took him for a walk and made sure he had fresh water after. Love all the pictures! I will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for years ranging from puppies to senior dogs recovering from surgery and epileptic cats. I love cats and dogs but cannot host cats in my home sadly. I have two friendly yellow labs at home they are more than spoiled with long walks and anything they might need. As they can’t take care of themselves, they are always the first priority. I have a fenced yard and am very close to area parks. I also have two pups that are dog friendly, even when having to share the couch.

About: I have never not had at least one dog in my house ever since I was born. I have trained every dog I’ve ever had. I have had dogs puppy aged to very old. At the moment, I have 2 dogs, one pretty large and one medium sized. They are both potty trained and quiet. Neither of them are very big barkers. They are very quiet the majority of the time. I enjoy running, volleyball, and playing with my dogs. My smaller dog loves running with me and getting treats after every run. Although my bigger dog doesn’t like running as much, he still comes along sometimes if I go extra slow for him. I also volunteer at my local humane society twice a week :)

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and have been responsible for caring for large dogs, small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs. I am currently a graduate student with a very flexible schedule! If given enough notice, I am usually able to make most times of the day work. I am very flexible with the needs of your pet and am willing to provide the individualized care that your animal needs! I am also experienced with diabetic injections.

About: Hi there! My name is Lindsey and I am new to Rover. I have a big love for animals, especially dogs, but unfortunately do not have the opportunity to own my own pet yet. I would love to come visit yours! Whether it’s a walk or a drop in I would love to show some love and attention towards your furry friend. I have experience with dropping in on my sister’s dog and other friends pets as well. As a teacher I have a flexible schedule for dropping in and going on walks. I look forward to helping you out! In the summer I am available almost any time of the day aside from my part time job. During the school year I am able to do some after school visits or walks, as well as over holidays and breaks. Working during the week also allows me availability on the weekends! To make sure your pet is cared for properly I will ensure that I take notes and ask any questions if needed. A meet and greet ahead of time would be beneficial!

About: I've had pets all my life! I've also been involved in animal rescue and pet sitting for many years. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but I'm not picky! I even pet sat a pig once! Trusting your pets care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is super flexible. I can make most days and times work. Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. As a pet sitter and a Rover client, I'm able to see both sides. Being in rescue exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities, giving me invaluable experience. I treat your pet and home like it's my own.

“Ashley was great! She was able to fit Rhemi in for a walk the same day I booked! She kept me updated the whole time and was super easy to work with! I would definitely trust her with Rhemi care again!”

About: I have been taking care of both dogs and cats since I was around 8 years old and have always loved it. I fully trained my German Shepherd from puppy to adulthood, and I was only able to have her for 6 years until she passed away. I now care for 3 cats - one I've had since she was a kitten, a rescue from the shelter, and my boyfriends cat who now lives with us. They're my babies. :) I am usually available anytime of day besides 2:30-3:30, we can work out a time that works for all of us. I try my best to work my schedule around to best fit your pets needs!
