About: Hi, I’m Ali. I am a mom of 2 boys & one dog named Tommy. We live right outside of Stillwater on a beautiful 10 acre lot. I am very passionate about pets, especially dogs. I have grown up my whole life with dogs & do some fostering for Cocos Heart Dog Rescue! I would love to be a companion for your pet during the day to ensure they get the exercise they deserve! I can meet your animals needs whether it be a walk in the neighborhood, at a park, or playing at home! I provide updates during and after each visit if preferred! I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I am happy to assist most times throughout the day. I can’t wait to meet your pups! I currently work remotely from home and would be able to take requests most times throughout the day, except for evenings (with the exception if communicated early enough) We have a 10 acre lot and are constantly outside. I make sure clients pets are on a leash while outside with us at all times unless specified by the owner. Clients pets are welcome on the furniture if they currently do that at their own homes, but I mindfully respect boundaries that clients provide.

“I was really nervous to leave my puppy home for the first time, but Travis more than eased my anxiety. He did such a fantastic job & exceeded my expectations! I loved getting pictures of my little pup too. Travis is very quick to respond, & very reliable. I immediately booked him for next week! Thank you Travis!”


“Mandy was excellent with my two kitties! They were well fed, well brushed, and well taken care of the whole time we were away for the holiday! I loved the daily pictures of Mandy having play time with the kitties. Would most definitely hire her again.”


“Would highly recommend Carissa. Very sweet and great with our dogs. Our dogs have never been left with anyone besides family. She stayed in contact with me the entire time we were gone. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our dogs were in caring hands.”


About: Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards - if it has four legs and and is smaller than a pony, I've owned it or taken care of it for others.

I adhere to whatever requests and rules you may have as a client, and take scrupulous care of your home and property. You will have complete peace of mind knowing your pet and your home are in the best possible hands.

About: While I don't have traditional professional experience, I would often pet sit for my neighbors growing up. I love animals, and I look forward to helping take care of yours!

When I'm checking on your pets I'll make sure to follow any instructions you've left and also make sure that your pets seem happy and healthy. If you're ok with it, my kids might come with to give some extra love and attention. We would, of course, discuss this first!

About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of Rover. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter for 10+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends, one who really impacted my life was a Teddy Bear named Rosey. She was my best friend and was so protective and sweet. She was the reason I became interested in working with animals, and I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I am a soon to be full-time second year optometry student, but my summer is open for doggy-filled fun and care. Up until school begins I am available full time. I live in a small neighborhood with a lot of walking paths and grass patches throughout. I live across the street from a dog park, and am willing to crate pets as well

About: I love dogs no matter the size or personality! I have walked dogs of all different breeds, I am currently fostering a dog in college trying to find him a forever home! If your dog needs to go for more of a run then walk that is no problem I love going on runs with them. If you choose me to walk your dog they will get the energy out and be ready and cuddly for when you get home! This summer I will be available on Thursdays and Fridays for what ever your pet needs, whether its drop in visits or a good walk to stretch their legs or get some energy. I also have a cat that I love dearly and would be more than happy to stop in and take care of what ever your cat needs. I have a good sized yard that isn't completely fenced in but a stake in the ground would do the trick. There aren't that many other dogs in my neighborhood which would be a perk if your pet didn't care for other animals.

About: I have lived with a dog consistently for the last 23 years. All of my dogs have come from rescue's which means I am familiar with dogs who have anxiety, trust issues, reactive behavior, slow to warm up, etc. I am an elementary school teacher who has the majority of my summer free. In July, I will not be available in the mornings, because I will be teaching summer school. I care for pets in others homes by slowly entering, allowing them to sniff me first, saying hello in a calm voice, and getting down on their level.
