“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”
“He did an excellent job! Dogs were very content when I returned. Obvious in their actions that they were well cared for. Would like to book him for regular mid day walks,”
“Connor has been an amazing walker for us! He always sends the cutest pictures, and he shows up on time to walk our dog. We really appreciate his kindness and patience.”
About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My love of animals is probably one of my most defining characteristics. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats, volunteered at a local shelter throughout high school & college, & I now have a dog & 2 cats of my own! I’m also a certified Physician Assistant, so giving medications or injections is no problem! I recently accepted a job where I am able to work partially from home, which allows my schedule to be very flexible in the early afternoon to evening. I’m also available varying weekends depending on my travel plans! I’m very thorough & detail-oriented. I know what it’s like to want your pet to be in the best hands, so that’s what I’m here to offer!
“Sydney has been such a welcome addition to our dogs daily routine!! She is extremely reliable and punctual, and is great about communicating promptly. My dogs clearly love her and we could not be happier with her services!”
“Working with Jordan was great and highly recommend her. It was great to know my pup was in good hands and good company. I look forward to working with her in the future!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes
“Carol did an amazing job and my little Maggie fell in Love with her unlike any other Dog walkers. she was on time and every though it was raining, she managed to get our girl an a great walk. Book her for sure 👍❤️”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My first dog on my own as an adult is currently a senior. He is a very sweet and gentle dog who loves to play with new friends. I have about 10 years of experience, dog sitting friends and family members' dogs. I am comfortable working with food aggressive dogs, highly anxious dogs, and everyone in between. I am experience with administering medications, working with puppies and supporting senior dogs. I have a great track record with leash training, potty training and winning over anxious dogs. I use positive reinforcement (single ingredient dried pumpkin treats) to keep your pups attention and gain their trust. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand in order to gain your trust too :) I look forward to working with you! I currently work part-time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I am available for walks after 2:00 p.m. on those days and all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, but will be out of the house for the hours of 8-1 MWF. My partner works from home, so if your dog need 24/7 care we can arrange that. As I mentioned in my bio, my main training mechanism is positive reinforcement. I do not believe in punishing dogs. In my experience it does not work and does not feel good! That being said, I am happy to work with you and come up with a plan together.
“Therese was an amazing help! I was out of town for the day and I scheduled two walks with her. She sent me pictures of him both times and assured me he was doing great!”
“Alexandra is great! She has been my twice weekly dog walker for about a month now. She communicates extremely well and is very reliable. She leaves detailed info on how the walk went with my dog, which I appreciate. She has gone out of her way to accommodate Ada, who can at times be shy with new people. Would recommend!”
“We have been using Devin for almost a full year now for walks for our energetic puppy. Devin is always on time and sends amazing pictures after each walk! He is prompt to respond. Highly recommend.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and even had a ferret at one point. I am a dog walker and cat and dog sitter (or cat walker if you would like!). Some of my current clients have been with me for 5 years. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I can drop in after 3 on most days since I am a student and weekends I am more flexible so I can work around your needs. I have a closed yard for my German Shepard and my cat is strictly an indoor cat. We use a mixture of dry and wet food for both animals and have frequent potty breaks for the dog.
About: I have a dog of my own, a Shih Tzu that I have personally cared for a decade. So walking is no problem at all, I’m used to it. There is also my cat Momo that I have since 2023. I also have worked at a doggy daycare place so I have worked with multiple dogs at once and fed them on time. Also took them for walks and will clean their paws afterwards. I even keep them entertained by giving lots of cuddles and toys to keep their minds active. This really helps when they are just stuck in a room bored waiting for their owners. This sets me apart from others because not only do I have personal experience, I experienced it on a professional level that I know how to handle things efficiently. Every day I start with feeding my dog and cat then some playtime mid day with the cat because the dog is quite old now. Then I end the day with a second meal for them and cleaning up the litter box and the pee matt for the senior dog I have to do the most care with my dog since he has dry eyes so it is a daily repetitive task of giving him his eye medication.
About: Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to watch their dogs while on various vacations. Whether it be stopping in to feed them and take them on a quick walk, or staying the night and cuddling with the pet, I do it all! I’m in school and working, but love dogs and cats and would adore doing this in the free time I have. Cannot wait to meet you all! I will make sure your pets are safe and sound in their environment that they love. Whatever they need I will make come true, as I believe your best friends deserve the world!
About: Before I walk your dog or hang with your cat, there are three things you should know about me. I love being outside, being with animals, and making and performing music. It's incredibly rewarding to me to care for animals. I believe me and your dog or cat share the same curiosity for adventure and I can't wait to get to know them. There's also a good chance that I end up singing some of my music to them. I grew up with pets and have experience in dog and cat sitting for neighbors and friends. When it comes to your pets, my first priority is their safety. I am extremely timely, and adaptable to all sorts of dogs and cats. Consider letting me care for, explore with, and sing to your animals! Currently working part-time, so a lot of availability, especially if you give lots of advance notice! I can be flexible with timing for walks and drop-ins. I don't have space for dogs or cats in my current home, as I'm living with my wife in someone else's area that does not allow pets. But, I'm happy to help take care of your animal in your home by maintaining a safe and clean environment for them, and making sure they are well-fed and exercised.
About: I have been housesitting and taking care of dogs and cats since high school. Whether it be going for walks or just cuddling with them in the house I have had experience in all areas. I have an 85 pound 1 year old dog of my own so I have experience with larger dogs in addition to smaller dogs. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals or take them on walks whatever is needed. I will make sure to keep your pets safe just as I would my own dog. I will keep them safe whether it be in your yard, in the house, or on a leash.

“Casey goes above and beyond to make sure pets in her care are not only surviving, but thriving and happy.

On dog walks I have seen her wait as long as it takes for the dog to take in all the sniffs, and patiently earn the trust of shy or insecure rescue pups.”

She is really wonderful, always making sure that they are properly cared for, buying toys that better suit their needs, ensuring that they have been given their medicine and food on time, playing with and petting them. She really loves them and makes sure that they know that. She would be a wonderful caregiver to any pet.”

She is great and we highly recommend you to see for yourself!!!”

Homewood West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cooper enjoyed his walks with Alexandra , because he went with her the second day without hesitation . He loves being outside. I'm sorry it rained those 2 days and it was kind of miserable. Alexandra saved me, because I'm sick and didn't have the energy to walk Cooper.
Tomorrow is the third birthday of my two Maltese - Shih Tsu mix dogs, and Heather has been walking them ever since they came into my life at 4 months of age. They LOVE her and she treats them as her own. She is very trustworthy and even though it means she might not be available when I call, I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who asks!!
