“Ryan is absolutely amazing! I honestly couldn't ask for better care for my dog. He is reliable, super communicative, and pays special attention to my dog’s needs. My baby girl gets so excited when Ryan arrives! I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker."”
“Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!”

“I refer to Sallie as my dog’s Angel, because she is truly the best. Wonderful communicator and trustworthy human being. I have used her for years now, and hope to have her for years to come for our packs walking and care needs.”


About: I have been an animal lover, animal rescuer and pet care taker all my life. I have walked dogs, and cared for cats since I was a child. I currently have a special needs cat, plus two others high needs(spoiled) kitties. I have a good deal of experience medicating and caring for cats and dogs. I walk my parents’ dog for them daily. I took care of a neighbors cats for her while she was traveling for almost a year. Your animal babies will always be safe and cared for with me. I am currently an online ESL instructor for JCPS. I work from home part-time. I also need to be able to medicate my own epileptic kitty at 9 am and 9 pm every day. My schedule is very flexible around these reaponsibilities. I am an experienced, responsible and caring dog walker. I can provide pets with care and company in their homes in whatever way is the least disruptive and the most comforting to them.
“Tara was wonderful!! I loved her updates while I was out of town for work. She was very communicative and quick to respond. I will certainly have her walk the pups again in the future!”

“Lauren is amazing! I have two dogs, a senior and a puppy, that have different needs. She worked with me to plan their walks and communicated wonderfully. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Lauren to help take care of your fur babies!!!”
“Liz was excellent with Sophie. She took multiple pictures, was flexible, and gave relevant information in her notes. She was by far my favorite Rover person and I would strongly recommend her. My Sophie really like her a lot!”

“I have an old and sensitive GSD that I am normally very protective over; I had to leave her for a week and the whole time I felt my dog was completely safe and attended to in Kathryn's hands. She provided meaningful updates and expressed genuine affection, support, and care for my animal. I would definitely have her care for my dog again.”
“We were so happy with Maggie‘s dog walk. She left a lot of great information regarding the walk and was very professional. Overall would definitely recommend”

About: I have grown up being an animal lover! I have cared for my pets and petsit for many friends and family throughout the years. I will care for your animals as if they were my own! I also volunteer for an animal shelter and have loved helping them. I know I will be the best petsitter for your furry friend! I am a full time college student and available to be with your pet! I am able to take your pet on walks or anything else needed! I am always available to stay with my pets. I am able to take them out as often as needed. I also can walk them as much or as little as needed! I respect everyone’s rules and how they like to take care of their pets and I want to make sure to do everything the way you would want it done!
About: I've had my own dogs and a cat my whole life. Additionally I got my first horse at 12 and have been around large and unique animals forever (even pet deer and alpacas!) From my baby Miniature Pinscher to my Great Dane I am capable of providing individualized care. I am currently a student athlete at DSU. I ride on the equestrian team so after my one in person class I am typically in and out of the barn with lots of time to spare as everything else I do for school is online. Pet care fits into my routine as a priority. I recently moved to Dover for school, and miss my dog terribly. Prioritizing your dogs in my schedule is not just a job for me, but a source of happiness! We have a large backyard for fetch and a safe neighborhood for walks and adventures! One block over we have a small park area as well. We have no other animals in the house, just four college girls who are all missing our companions from home. In the house your dog can roam freely about and sleep in my room/bed with me, whatever they are comfortable with.
“Sam is just an amazing person and she takes great care of my dog Bucky, when she walks him...he can be a challenge but she is so sweet and patient with him, and he loves her to bits. He gets so excited when she comes, and not only does she do a great job on the walks with him, but she goes the extra mile in other ways and is a kind and caring lady that just brings a bit of sunshine in when she comes. I do recommend her, she is wonderful.”

“Annie is so sweet and so so so patient with my Pearl girl! My dog can be so finicky with who she walks with and Annie is always patient as she works through the process with her. She is also super flexible when coordinating schedules.”

About: LGBTQ+ and all inclusive! I’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me early on how to understand their behavior, respect their space, and build trust with them. I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between. I’ve also handled daily care routines like feeding, potty breaks, administering oral medications, and basic grooming. Whether your dog wants to play, explore, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time. My goal is simple: happy dogs, wagging tails, and peace of mind for you. I work part-time early mornings (1 AM – 5 AM, Monday through Friday), so my main availability is typically from 2 PM to 1 AM. I’m a great fit for afternoon, evening, and late-night care. I can also do early morning visits right after my shift if needed. I keep a consistent schedule and do my best to stay flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs! I take a lot of pride in caring for my own pets and making sure they’re always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I stay consistent with feeding, playtime, and giving them attention, while also paying close attention to their behavior and needs. I treat every animal with patience and care, and I bring that same mindset into how I care for others’ pets.

“Alice was a fantastic dog walker for our two large (and needy) dogs. She was reliable and communicated well. She was flexible in accommodating my changing schedule, and has an extensive background in dog training. One of our dogs is both shy and stubborn and Alice was very patient with her on walks and spent time with her after to make her more comfortable. I knew our dogs were always in good hands with her and will be using her again in the future!”
About: I have been a dog owner since I was a little girl. I own a chocolate lab who holds my heart. I know what it is like to be stuck at work and be worried about the fur babies. I can take your dog on a walk around your neighborhood/apartment. I can feed them. I can do whatever they need and let you know when it is done! I will send you pictures of your baby so you know they are receiving the best care possible. I will treat them the way I want mine to be treated when I am away. If they get along with other dogs I can bring mine or I can give your pup one-on-one attention. I want to make your life, and their life better! I work early mornings, four to ten am and an hour in the evenings giving me plenty of time to care for your fur babies. My house has a small yard but lots of room to play inside. My 4 year old lab is a great play mate and kind to all other animals!

Very sweet! Was able to accommodate me on very short notice, which I appreciated. She brought a treat for Biscuit, which he loves, and was understanding of his initial barking when she showed up. Sent me plenty of photos and texted to update me on how he behaved. Thank you!
