“Patrick has been wonderful with our two dogs! Communication is prompt, and he is always on time with our weekly walks. He’ll maximize the time spent with our dogs, exploring new walking paths and scenery. He is always responsive to any questions we have, too.”

“Marissa was fantastic. Excellent communication throughout, very flexible with a short-notice schedule change, and took great care of Peanut during all of his walks. Highly recommended.”
About: Hi! I’m Layla, and I’ve always had a huge love for dogs. I’ve grown up around them and currently have a Cane Corso, so I’m very familiar with caring for big, strong breeds. I regularly walk and watch dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I take pride in being someone people trust with their pets. I’m super patient, responsible, and love getting to know each dog’s personality whether they’re playful and energetic or more laid back and cuddly. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own, and I always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having a good time. Whether you need someone for walks, check ins, or overnight care, I’d love to help out! As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I’m able to dedicate time during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I make sure to plan around my responsibilities so I can give your dog the attention and care they deserve. Rover fits perfectly into my weekly routine, and I love being able to spend time with dogs while balancing school and life. It’s something I genuinely enjoy not just a side job. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, my focus is always on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow any specific routines or instructions you providewhether it’s feeding times, favorite toys, or medication. I make sure they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and attention so they feel at ease while you’re away. In your home, I respect your space and try to keep everything clean and stress-free. At my place, I make sure the environment is safe and pet-friendly, especially since I have a Cane Corso and know how important structure and comfort are for dogs of all sizes.
“I'm new to Rover and decided to give it a try. Scheduled an intialt dog-walking with Debbie just so we could get to know each other a bit. My first impressions were - and are - very positive. Debbie was very thorough and friendly, she immediately took to our dog Sadie (and Sadie to her), and she also took some time to helping me negotiate the Rover app a bit. In short, I came away very impressed and definitely plan to use her help and services going forward.”

About: I’ve owned two dogs of my own (1 currently - Ellie!) and I regularly dog sit two other dogs owned by a friend. I love dogs and understand their behavior very well. As a dog owner myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes with leaving your dog with someone reliable and trustworthy. I have a full time job Monday through Friday but am generally available on weekends and occasional weeknights. I’m also more flexible on Fridays. I’m comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes. I would love to help provide potty breaks and walks and playing! For boarding, I have a roughly 30x30ft fenced yard and one 40lb friendly dog of my own.

I know basic first aid for dogs and have shadowed at a small animal clinic. I work to provide a calm and safe environment for the animals I am caring for!
“We’ve had a great experience with Nicole! She walks our bernedoodle weekly, is always on time, a great communicator, and brings such a positive energy. She clearly loves what she does and our dog is always excited to see her every visit. It’s a huge relief knowing our dog is in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been involved with animals my whole life. While having my own dog for 10+ years, I’ve spent plenty of time taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets when they were away from home. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, potty and playtime, being someone that could let their pets have someone while they’re away. I’ve also had chances of hosting mini fundraisers to support and supply shelters in the past to give those animals some happiness while they wait for their forever homes. I’m a recent college graduate who is currently looking for some summer work as I continue my search for a professional career. I am available most days of the week, unless discussed otherwise. For dog walks or walk ins, I will not be available for times after 7:30pm. However, I’ll be as flexible as possible when it comes to scheduling potential stays or visits for your pets! I can help with any tasks within my capabilities. I can feed your pets, take dogs on walks, provide some play time or lounge time for the less energetic dogs. I can also give your dogs a bath if ever needed!

“My Olive is a mature age and she is a terrier mix. Olive was so calm and happy after her walks with Kyierah. I highly recommend Ms. Kyierah to other pet "parents" and look forward to hiring her again.”

“Michael was wonderful with my dog Shelby. He showed up on time each day, and was gentle and patient with her. (She was reluctant to go out sometimes). He communicated with me each day about how it went. Shelby acquainted herself quickly with Michael and started to look forward to her walks. I would highly recommend him. He's definitely a dog lover and is responsible and communicative. Thanks Mike!”

About: Dogs have been a large part of my life since I was born. Family, friends, and neighbors known they can trust me with their furry friends. As a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and fun walks tailored to your dog's needs. I have lots of energy and a flexible schedule as a college student. I have worked with dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors. If you have any concerns, I want to work with you to deliver the best care possible. I am a college student so weekends work best for me during the semester! During the summer (May to August), I have much more availability; I am free all week and on weekends. I respect every dog owner's personal choices for caring for their pet. I want to abide by your rules and make you and your pet as comfortable as possible.

About: Grew up with a very small dog but my family used to dog-sit and walk dogs for my neighbors with all kinds of dogs! We trained our dog and I know a good amount about owning/taking care of dogs and puppies from past experience. I am currently a full time college student so I’m pretty flexible! I’m pretty available in the morning, nights and sporadically during the day. I walk my dog twice a day for 20 minutes minimum given that she is a small pup and I'm ready to accommodate to any pups needs. I make sure to train her with training treats to keep mental stimulation up! I am also very attentive to make sure she’s always comfortable and safe!

“Alicia is always very reliable in her walking schedule with Toffee. She communicates with me on every walk and lets me know of any issues. I highly recommend her dog walking services and will rebook with her whenever I am out of town. She is great with dogs and cats!!🙏👌”
