Dog Walking Independence

“Savannah is wonderful! She is always right on time, positive and great with Amos. He already looks forward to his walks with her. She is such a great help to me!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and they have always been a big part of my family. I currently have a sweet Yorkie Poo and a gentle Newfoundland, and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special. I have over 5 years of professional dog grooming experience, which has taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, handling, and how to make dogs feel comfortable and safe. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors in all sizes. I also have experience with dogs who need extra patience and care, including dogs recovering from procedures and blind dogs. Besides walks, daycare, and boarding, I can also offer basic maintenance care, such as brushing, baths, nail trimming and grinding, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing, feet - paw and face trimming. I love going on long walks (usually two one-hour walks a day with my own dogs), and I’d love to give your pup the same attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Our day includes two long walks, usually around 8:30 AM and 5 PM to avoid peak heat. We enjoy walks, park visits, playtime, cuddles and enrichment activities throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm home environment with supervision throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, offer structured walks and playtime, and have crates available if dogs need quiet time or separation. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive plenty of outdoor exercise through secure walks and nearby park visits. I also have experience handling different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities.

“Azumi takes great care of my two dogs! It's comforting knowing that they are cared for while I'm working 12 hour shifts. I recommend her as a reliable, conscientious walker!”

“We have a - year old energetic Doberman and she was great with walking him! Would recommend”

“Emma is truly the sweetest! She did such a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby during her walk. Emma was incredibly patient and gave her all the time she needed, including extra breaks, so she could enjoy the walk at her own pace. I really appreciated how attentive and caring Emma was throughout their time together. She even sent along the cutest little story about their adventures, which I absolutely loved! It’s clear that Emma genuinely cares about the dogs she walks and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I really appreciate Emma and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and wonderful dog walker! 🐾💕”

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student who comes back home for the breaks, my schedule is relatively wide open. However, I also appreciate still having some time here and there even while on sits to spend with family, should it be possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

“Cory was excellent with my dog. I would use him again any time.”

About: I have worked with dogs and cats doing on 6 years now, and have had the opportunity to be around a ton of personalities and care for many different energy levels. In this, I also have experience crate, house, and yard training! Though I’m currently at college, I have quite a few breaks during the day in which I could check in on any pets and make sure they are happy, heathy, fed, and don’t need to use the restroom. I have all nights and most weekends free, and have flexible hours during most of the week. While it certainly depends on the personality and age of the pet, general care would include meeting the basic needs (food, water, bathroom breaks, and running/walking time) while also being ready and able to play, facilitate enrichment times, and cuddle especially clingy pets.

“Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I’ve grown up having dogs my entire life to getting a dog of my own. I’ve spent my life around dogs of various breeds from Shibas to Goldendoodles to Bernese Mountain dogs to Saint Bernards. Through these years I’ve trained puppies whether at home or attending classes and volunteered at various animal shelters. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and promise to care for your dog the way I would my own! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, including weekends. I can plan around pretty much anything. Would prefer advance notice for any weekend pet care. I can easily drive over to either take your dog for a walk, check in, or watch your dogs in my home for some doggy daycare.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born! I’ve grown up with labs and yorkies, my extended family has had bulldogs, Great Danes and cavillier King Charles dogs! I live in a small town and love to be active and miss having a furry friend around! My schedule doesn’t allow me to have a dog as I travel for work, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week that I would love to make the most of with your best furry friend(s)! I work a job with odd hours and a flexible schedule but I do travel quite a bit. I obviously won’t be taking clients when I will be away, but I would like to utilize my free time to be able to help those who need services for their dogs and also get to spend time with them! I grew up with dogs and not having one is out of my norm- but responsible until I get my own yard! I am comfortable traveling anywhere to watch your pet, or we could chat about certain circumstances to make it happen! I live in a smaller apartment with no yard so I won’t be able to have dogs at my place

“Abigail was wonderful again!! Easy to communicate with and very reliable. Our energetic German shepherd was very excited to get play time with her again!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure both you and your furry friend feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable care for your pet. My availability varies by the week, but I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting whenever my schedule allows. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll provide updates and photos during each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I am recently returned Peace Corps Panama volunteer with over a decade of experience with my own dogs, as well as caring for others’ dogs. I grew up with a Vizsla, and took a lead role in training her including obedience, agility, and retrieving. This also provided me with extensive experience with very high-energy, as well as anxious dogs. I have experience with all breeds- large, small, high energy, low energy, etc. I also have experience with older and sick dogs. Over a year ago, my childhood dog sadly passed from a serious form of bone cancer. Due to this, she was very fragile and we had to be very careful about helping her and making sure her days were pain-free. I also have experience with temporarily ill dogs. I also have my own dog that I have had since a puppy who I got in Panama. Lastly, my family has recently fostered some dogs, which provided me with experience with nervous and unsocialized dogs. I am currently on a month-long leave before starting a new role with the Peace Corps, and have complete my open availability. I am very flexible, and will make sure your pup receives the love and attention that they deserve! I continuously research dog behavior and training techniques, so I will cater to each individual dog’s needs. I practice positive reinforcement techniques for training and correction. I have experience caring for dogs with a range of medical and mobility needs, so each dog's care plan will be specialized based on what you, the owner, want.

About: I have a bit more varied experience than some. When I was young, we had a veritable zoo, and I haven't stopped having animals since. I've never not had a dog and was made responsible for over 30 miniature horses whenever their owner needed it. I also have experience with ferrets, cats, parakeets, parrots, and lizards. I will say if you need to look after something more exotic (and demanding) we would need to talk first. My dog is also quite old and has a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with handling these. I work Mondays from 12-7 and Tuesdays through Thursday I work 10-4. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have mostly open availability with the exception that I occasionally have work events. Each animal is different, and so I would strive to find that balance with your dog. Every dog plays a bit different or might need their food handled differently. While I can't take animals into my home at the present, I will strive to be as careful with meeting their needs as I do my own pup at home.

About: I have experience with a range of dogs, from small to large, and have taken care of many of my neighbors’ pets. I currently have a rescue 7 month old puppy, my parents have a papillon and used to have a German Shepherd so I’ve taken care of each. I understand that each dog has different needs and different personalities! I can adapt to whatever you and your furry friend needs. I have a small bird and feel comfortable taking care of birds as well. I work full-time in healthcare but have a passion for providing quality care for animals as well! On my days off (M/T/W and select Sat/Sundays) I am fully available without work or distractions, which just means all the attention is given to your furry loved one! I’m available all Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays per month along with three Sat/Sundays per month. I work Thursday/Friday and one Sat/Sun per month so I can’t do those. I live in a large 3,200 square foot suburban house and your dog is free to roam inside the home with my puppy. This offers a large advantage for your dog in comparison to other sitters who have an apartment with little indoor and outdoor space. Your dog/s and mine are always under supervision when they are here. Another advantage is social interaction from my puppy and your dog together. I have a front yard and back yard, unfenced. I will never let any dog outside without a leash. I have a huge trail system within short walking distance from my house (medicine lake regional trails and others) which spans multiple miles and is yet another perk of booking with me! I’m an avid walker/hiker and frequently take dogs out for walks but place priority on your needs and requests as each dog has different requirements. I am very comfortable with administering medications. I live in a smoke free, and kid free home. I truly love providing the best quality care to your furry friends, and treat them as my own. I pride myself on strong communication/updates as well. I am happy to schedule meet and greets to ensure we are a perfect fit.

About: Hello my name is Jocelyn and I’m 21 years old currently! I’ve had my own dog since I was 7 and she grew up with me during childhood when she was also a puppy. I have experience with large pullers, and dogs who like to chase small animals, or are pretty reactive at other dogs or animals. I’m able to administer medicine by food/mouth, injection, and ointments. I have experience with senior dogs, and puppies! I can do basic training for example: potty training, and obedience training. Whatever your pup needs I can provide!! I’m going to be working at Walmart overnights 10pm-7am but I’m still more than open to sit or care for any pets during the day especially if they’ll be fine throughout the night until I return in the morning! Other than working I have time to do walks/playtime, and just keep your pets company for the daytime.☺️ At the pet parent’s house, I definitely do my best to keep it as neat/clean as it was before I arrived especially for drop-ins. For sittings I do the same and if the pet needs me close by for company I stay by to make sure they’re comfortable and feeling safe. I will always let the parents know if their pet either made a mess, had an accident or anything similar of concern. I’m very patient as well, I clean after every pet and never make a big fuss over accidents, every fur baby is different and they all deserve compassion!!🌺

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals for about five years! I started out by dog- and house-sitting for families in my neighborhood, and eventually, word started to spread. Before long, I was being reached out to more and more often to care for dogs, bunnies, hamsters, cats, and guinea pigs! In May 2025, I got a puppy of my own named Goose. Once Goose turned one, I decided to join Rover so I could expand my experience and have the opportunity to help even more pet parents with their animals’ care. I understand how hard it can be to find a family friend—or simply someone you know and trust—to watch your pet. Sometimes, when that option isn’t available, people have no choice but to turn to an app like Rover and trust someone they may have never met before. Because of that, one of the things I pride myself on most is providing a detailed description of EVERY pet visit, along with a possibly excessive amount of pictures! I know the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I do my best to be reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I want every update I give you to make you feel like you were there in person, while making sure you’re always kept in the loop about how your pet is doing. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands, getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away! Pet care fits in perfectly with my routine. I am very responsible when it comes to other people’s pets and am very flexible and available. In my home, someone is almost always around. My dad works from home and I have school for a minimum of 2 hours in the morning. In my clients homes, I take time out of my day to spend time with their animals, and work according to the animals schedule, not mine.

“They did a great job taking care of our puppy and even sent pictures and videos. They communicated promptly and I would definitely use their services again.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.
