Dog Walking Hamel

“Thank you for the perfectly timed walk! Alicja has been very responsive, helpful, and is great with our 2 pups. Our dogs are looking forward to their next walk with her!”

“Karen and Brian walked my friend’s dog for 5 days. I booked them, after reading the fantastic reviews about them, to walk my friend’s dog because she had knee surgery. I live across the country and couldn’t be there myself. They were absolutely amazing. They understood the situation and proved there are still wonderful people in the world. They took care of my friend’s dog like it was their own. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat!!!!”

“Emma is truly the sweetest! She did such a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby during her walk. Emma was incredibly patient and gave her all the time she needed, including extra breaks, so she could enjoy the walk at her own pace. I really appreciated how attentive and caring Emma was throughout their time together. She even sent along the cutest little story about their adventures, which I absolutely loved! It’s clear that Emma genuinely cares about the dogs she walks and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I really appreciate Emma and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and wonderful dog walker! 🐾💕”

“AJ was wonderful with Leia! She was so kind and caring, and when Leia got tired during their walk, AJ went above and beyond by carrying her part of the way home. We really appreciate her taking the extra time and effort to make sure Leia was comfortable and got home safely. It’s clear that AJ genuinely cares about the dogs she’s walking. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her walk Leia again!”

“I highly recommend Jenna to to care for your dog. Our dog came back from her walk very happy. Jenna knew how to interact and communicate with our dog well. She even gave her a clean up afterward from the mud puddles.”

“Cory was excellent with my dog. I would use him again any time.”

Roben H.

“Nicole was very responsive and communicative. She was willing to do a drop in on short notice and we would absolutely have her back to help us out!”

About: I've had a love for animals my entire life. I grew up in the country, and with that I have had many experiences with all kinds of animals, big and small. At one point in high school, I worked on a farm milking cows and tending calves. I've watched many of my friends' animals, dogs and cats mainly, and I have my own cat at home. I've worked in many different care giving jobs, from nannying to being a care attendant for older adults. I've also volunteered many times at the animal shelter and worked at my friend's dog bar. If you're looking for a space where your animal will be loved as they are at home, this is the one for you! I'm currently a student and part-time worker. I graduate this May, where I will be transitioning into the corporate world. I spend most of my days at home (often times leaving the house once or twice a week), as I do school and work most days at home. I'm someone who believes in taking care of an animal as you would a human. This means having a clean environment, enriching activities, playing with them often, and giving them the same quality of food I'd want. I am attentive, aware, and caring when it comes to animals, and I believe in meeting their needs at the highest level possible. My own animal being a great example.

“Neha was absolutely amazing! I had just moved to a new neighborhood and was looking for someone to give my miniature golden retriever, Leia, dinner, a walk, and some extra belly rubs. Unfortunately, I forgot to update my address in the Rover app, so Neha ended up driving all the way to my old house across the Twin Cities. When she arrived, she noticed that the house didn’t match the photos and instructions I had provided and kindly reached out to me. I was out of town and didn’t see her message for over 30 minutes. I was horrified when I realized my mistake, especially since I was hours away and couldn’t do anything to help. Neha could not have been more gracious and understanding. Despite the inconvenience that I caused, she generously offered to drive to my new home and still take care of Leia. She spent extra time with her, gave her dinner, took her for a walk, and made sure my princess got plenty of love and attention. I am incredibly grateful for Neha’s kindness, flexibility, and patience. She truly went above and beyond, and it meant so much to me. Leia was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely choose Neha again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with pets!”

“Elisa and my dog have bonded! We use Elisa’s walking services and she does a GREAT job. Reliable, pays attention to our pets’ quirks and really loves and cares about our dog! We recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets growing up, cats, dogs, bunnies, etc. I own a Husky and a Leopard Gecko, so I am also very experienced in animal care of many different kinds. I am also going into wildlife rehabilitation, so a few of my volunteering work skills are very helpful in caring for all kinds of animals ᵕ̈ I am currently focusing on pet sitting as my main income! I spend most of my days pet sitting and performing short drop ins for other pets. Most of my drop ins are 30min-1hour, so I’m never away for long ᵕ̈ I am able to drive to any home to care for your babies in their own comfort. I find this to be the most comfortable for most pets as keeping their routine while parents are away is very helpful for them!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and am passionate about giving dogs as stress free of boarding as possible. As a stay-at-home mom, your pup will get full time attention, exercise and love. I have experience with training puppies and caring for senior dogs with mobility issues. I’m home all day and very flexible on timing. Your dog will get tons of attention from me and my girls (Ages 16 and 14) I like to know your routine at home so I can stick to your schedule to make transitions easier. I have a large fenced backyard, a large crate if that is preferred for sleeping, and all kinds of fun toys to stay busy

About: Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up surrounded by dogs, spending my childhood and college years caring for and loving on them. Over the years, I've gained experience dog sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients, and I truly have loved every opportunity to do so. Walks are a staple of my own daily routine with our rescued Goldendoodle, who joined our family nearly two years ago and has been the most rewarding journey. Outside of pet care, I've been married for two years and am currently in the second year of my Master's in Clinical Counseling. My hybrid and flexible class schedule allows me to provide dependable, quality care, and I'm grateful that this season of life has brought me back to Rover to support families and their animals who bring so much joy. I will always do my best to make sure your pets receive all the love and attention they can get while you are away. I can also provide some light grooming by chance the pets get dirty and need a bath, or just brushing them to make sure they don't get matted! I have also taken care of birds and other small house pets (guinea pigs, goldfish, etc.) and am happy to support in this way. I have a flexible graduate school schedule that is hybrid, so I am able to cater to nearly any of your dogs needs throughout the day! If I am out and about while I am watching them, I always make sure to not be gone too long / longer than they are used to being alone for. I will always ensure that any latches on gates and fences are closed before I let your dog out into a yard if you have one, as well as double checking their collar and leash are attached correctly when we go out on walks or to the bathroom! If you have any gates up indoors I will make sure to keep these in place, as well as not allow them on any furniture you request they stay off of. I will take note of any specific safety considerations you advise me of, as well - you know your pets best!

About: Growing up with both a dog and a cat, I’ve always had a deep understanding of the love and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I’ve spent years walking, playing, and bonding with pets, so I know exactly what it takes to make them feel at ease. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve been fortunate to look after other pets, from energetic dogs who need daily adventures to cats who just want a bit of attention and a cozy spot to relax. I approach every pet with patience, affection, and respect, making sure they feel safe and well-cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them with the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I am a teacher and will be available most weekends and some weekdays, depending on my schedule and school breaks. I will be happy to accommodate the best I can. As a sitter, I would treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care, just as I would with my own. I make sure to follow their routine, offering playtime and attention to ensure they feel safe and loved. I’m organized, clean, and reliable. You can trust that your pets and home are in good hands!

“Madilyn was quick to respond to my request and was very good with out anxious dog. You can tell that she is a dog person and knows her stuff!”

About: I love pets so much! I have two cats, Tommy and Rosie, and they’re the sweetest. I have been a preschool teacher and a house cleaner, so I’m not afraid of cleaning up any messes or accidents that may happen. I’m trustworthy and reliable because of those job experiences; my favorite part of cleaning houses was getting to know people’s pets! I also love creating a connection with pet parents. If I’m coming into your home, you and your pets become a part of my family. I’m also an actor, so if you ever want to know about shows that are happening, I’m a very good resource! It’s my goal to make sure your pets feel loved and nurtured even when you’re not at home. I create my own schedule, so I can be pretty flexible when I need to be. Mornings are my most available time, so let’s talk! I’ll follow any notes and instructions you give me, and if there’s anything I cannot do, I’ll let you know so we can work on a solution together. There may be some things I’m inexperienced in when looking after dogs(giving medication, etc) but if you show me what to do, I’m a fast learner!

“Abigail was wonderful again!! Easy to communicate with and very reliable. Our energetic German shepherd was very excited to get play time with her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Allie. I’m a therapist/social worker and am able to work from home and make my own schedule. I have extensive experience with pets - specifically cats and dogs. I have one cat of my own and have dog sat for several friends, family members and neighbors. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelters for several years and love being around pets. Working in private practice, I currently make my own schedule which gives me the ability to be flexible in the afternoons and evenings weekdays and weekends Like I do with my own pet, I would make sure food, water, toys and comfortable places to rest are clean and available. I would also provide attention, love and exercise depending on the pet

About: I currently have two pomskies, a russian blue, and a black cat. I also had two 80 lbs Weimaraners, a black cat, and a teddy bear hamster growing up as well as taking care of all the neighbors pets when they would go on vacation prior to starting Rover! I now have interacted with almost every size of dog and multiple cats through my services. - I was a dual-sport athlete in college where I did gymnastics and track, and I currently weight lift. I preface this because some pet owners in the past have said I appear to be a smaller girl but I am stronger than I look and have walked/taken care of big dogs and very high energy dogs😂 - My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to give your pet some fresh air and exercise during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. You may book two per day! •I’m always open to any extra needs or modifying for your situation!! I’m currently in law school and have class mid-day from August to May. I have mornings and evenings/nights open for drop in visits and dog walking during these months. From May to August, I work very early mornings 5x a week. I’m free 2pm and onwards during the summer months for drop-ins and dog walking services. I also stop by prior to my 6am start time for work to do drop-in visits as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for anything at all! •I always allow meet-and-greets for a quick 10 minute appointment (free) prior to any drop-ins or walking services so that I’m no stranger to you or your pet before I stop by for the first service. This also allows us to establish what needs your pet may have and your expectations for me. These aren’t mandatory to be able to book with me, just solely a comfort thing! •I remember the way pet items were stored in your home and return them back to the way they were after I’m done using them. •I always message you and ask for permission prior to entering any other part of the house that’s not necessary to the service. This rarely happens, but for example: a dog I came to walk was sleeping in the master bedroom so I messaged the owner first prior to retrieving him for our walk😂

About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.
