Dog Walking Idle Hour

“Dax was very detailed at all times with his responses and notes. I felt very comfortable letting him take care of my dogs especially seeing the many pictures he took while he was there. He does a great job!”

“Fantastic communication and a lovely way with my senior pup ❤️. Really appreciated that Taylor offered a meet/greet before the first walk. We'll happily book again!”

“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”

Catherine D.

“Addy has been great with our dog. She comes on schedule and is very responsive. Our dog does not like to be put back into his crate and Addy says she takes great care to guide him back in which we are greatful for (esp when he is being stubborn). Thanks!”

“Kayla was great! I’ve tried rover before and my dog doesn’t do good with separation anxiety at other peoples houses. So when I went in my last trip I had Kayla come walk her three times a day as well as feed and water her. My pup did great no accidents and was happy to be in her home. Will def be going this route for vacations in the future”

Mckenzie B.

“This is my first time hiring Leslie. It’s impressive that she followed all my instructions and requests. And all my dogs were so happy to see her. I will definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to all the pet owners.”

Joice L.

“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”

R. Eric B.

“Misty was great with both of our dogs. Even our high-strung Collie/Shepherd mix warmed up to her. Happy she is available to take care of them. : )”

“Exceptional Dog Walker Mary has been walking my two dogs (a chocolate lab and a bloodhound) every day and has been an absolute lifesaver. Here’s why she’s great: · Dependable: She is on time and reliable. · Caring & Attentive: She genuinely loves my dogs and pays close attention to their needs and behavior. · Excellent Communication: After every walk, she takes the time to tell me how they did and shares any details. · Handles Large Breeds: She is confident and wonderful with my big, sometimes stubborn, bloodhound and energetic lab. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a first-rate dog walker!”

Tina C.

“Piper (9 year old German shepherd) loves her walks with Conner! Conner does a great job with her. Piper isn’t the best with other dogs and Conner does a great job with making sure she’s comfortable on walks! I would recommend Conner for your puppy needs!”

Chelsea B.

“Sofie was very sweet with my dog and respectful of the house.”

Megan P.

“Mackenzie is absolutely the best! This is my second time booking with her (and Rover). She took care of Maverick during 4th of July weekend and she even took Maverick for the whole day without extra charge. She sent me pictures of Maverick during the day and he looked so happy. I would totally recommend booking her.”

Marcelo C.

“Kara is a joy and a gift! She is reliable, coompetent, and confident with my quirky hounds and it’s obvious that she deeply respects the importance of communication and making sure I’m in the loop on all the details of the visit whether drop ins or walks!”

Becca K.

“Julie was amazing! Bibi looked happy, and content during all the visits. Bibi can be hard to walk but Julie handled her with ease and confidence.”

About: When I was younger, I would often babysit for my neighbors to Yorkshire terriers, one of whom was both blind and deaf, and thus needed to be watched at all times. I also have a fur baby of my own, a cat that we have had for 10 plus years. On occasion, I have also babysat for my neighbor's dogs, and I have also worked at a dog shelter several times over the summer. I do work M-F, so I am generally available during the weekends, with a possibility of working during the week after work. Please reach out for specific availabilities. This depends on who the customer is, and what they require of me. I usually like to make sure that I know the rules before I start sitting, and as always I will respect the rules set by the client. I also usually inquire about the pets preferences and what they feel comfortable with.

About: I have been caring of a variety fur babies since I was a kid. I have experience with working with both younger and older fur babies. I am currently working full time while coming my masters online in counseling so I do have flexibility with working overnights. If need more availability please contact me. I have a fenced area at my apartment complex for dogs if needed. I have a variety of teats and toys for cats if needed.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own. Eli (10) and Luna (6) are rescue dogs who have taught me the importance of patience and understanding every dog’s unique personality. Nimbus (2) has been with me since he was a puppy, so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and older companions. After nearly 10 years as a USPS mail carrier, I’ve also learned a lot about dog behavior and body language from meeting dogs of all personalities every day. I know how important it is to approach each dog calmly and respectfully. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family while keeping you updated along the way. I work full-time as a USPS mail carrier and typically finish my route between 12:00 and 2:00 p.m., giving me plenty of availability most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Rover is a great fit because it allows me to spend even more time with animals while providing dependable, personalized care for pets in my local community. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own, making sure doors and gates are secure and leaving everything just as I found it. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: When I was around four, I started to go across the street and cat-sit for this empty-nest couple. They were older, and so they wanted to travel more. The lady owned two cats, a Birman and an Oriental Shorthair. The lady used to take them to cat shows, and they were her most prized possession. They had grandkids to see and wanted to explore as many different countries as they could. They used to say, "Maggie, you are so convenient, and I am glad that you are here so we can leave and do things that we love more often." My mom never once told me to go and do my job. I woke up and was ready to go see Bootsy and Bella. They moved when I was 16, and I was their sitter until the day they left. I realized that for people to do the things they loved, they needed an easy, stress-free, and affordable sitter for their animals. Anyway, I started a show kennel for my Italian Greyhounds because of her, and now this is my full-time gig. I run a full-time boarding and daycare facility at my house. I am open for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. I own show dogs, and so I am home training and working on my websites while the dogs have multiple areas and an outdoor fenced area to play. I work on my computer for 3-5 hours a day and play with and walk the dogs while I rotate in between that. I take lots of pictures during the day and have an instagram that I post them on. The dogs rotate among the kitchen, the basement, and the outdoor enclosure. All dogs have access to water 24/7. The outdoor enclosure has a roof, and I run a fan when it is hot, in accordance with USDA guidelines. If the weather is bad, I walk the dogs or just let them play together in the basement or kitchen.

About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!
