This is my first time using Rover or any dog walking service at all. I totally lucked out with Mary Helen! She is a true animal lover, which is just what you want in a dog walker/caretaker. She has walked my husky, Niko, for a few weeks now. He absolutely loves her! She is always friendly, on time, flexible with my schedule if I need to change something, and always keeps me updated on how he did on his walk with information and pictures. She even runs a little bit sometimes with Niko (which is great to tire him out). Niko is a better dog because of Mary Helen! I am very, very pleased with her services and I feel like we're already friends :) I highly recommend her for taking care/walking your doggos!

About: I got my dog when I was 8 and raised and cared for her for the next 12 years. In college I fostered dogs for about 2 years. I fell in love with each puppy but never adopted. I also used to watch my aunts two goldens in Kansas City. I now watch my sisters black lab frequently, Miss Lucy. I love dogs and until I can get one on my own, I’d love to help others with their dogs in my free time! I spend my time between here and Columbia. I work only 3 days a week as a server in Hollywood and so I have a lot of free time to help!!! It will just be me with your dog. My house is very spacious, with a huge yard and track in the backyard to walk along! I love caring for dogs. I can help with medications as well.

About: My friends say I can read the mind of dogs - a bit of a dog 'whisperer' and I enjoy dogs of all breeds - having most experience with mixed breeds & high-energy dogs, age ranges from young to old dogs (I have cared for many dog friends & many of my own pups - one since she was 5 months old, until she recently passed away) - so ranging from training age to 'hospice care.' As a former dog owner myself - I know how important it is to have someone you can rely on, that understands it is more about peace of mind, great care, and good communication! I currently have a flexible job, that allows for some freedom to come to the rescue, if you need help or want to have your dog checked in on. I find it best to take care of dogs, in the environment they feel most comfortable in - which is there own home & surroundings. If you have current specifications or the dog needs specific care/meds or they are working on specific points of training - I can assist with any reasonable request, and mostly for what is best for the dog(s)! The best way is to communicate what you & the dog(s) need clearly.

About: Hello I’m Lia! With nine years of dedicated pet care experience, I offer comprehensive and compassionate service for your beloved companions. My expertise includes the oral administration of medication, ensuring your pet's health needs are met with precision. I'm also proficient in baths and brushing, keeping them comfortable and well-groomed. What truly sets me apart is my ability to handle emergencies such as seizures and choking, providing crucial peace of mind. During my college years, I gained three years of valuable boarding experience, comfortably hosting pets in my home. As a highly active individual, I love taking dogs out for extended playtime and walks, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I have no limitations on breed or size, as I believe all dogs are, at heart, still sweet puppies deserving of love and attentive care. I am currently on Summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur-baby! I am available for house sitting, drop-ins, and daily dog walking. On Sundays I won’t be available until the afternoon. When caring for pets in your home I will respect their routines and carefully follow the provided instructions. I value integrity and will always have respect for your home.

About: I have experience working in animal rescue, fostering, basic training, and complex medical maintenance for both dogs and cats. I have fostered over 100 dogs in ten years and owned two heart dogs and three beloved cats, all who had complicated medical conditions that required daily management. Pets are family to me and deserve the best care and consideration. I am currently on sabbatical and looking to fill my days with happy time with pets though walks, play, and just quality time. I’m available every day 11 am to 6 pm. Two days notice is required for both dog walking or dog check-in requests. I have a fenced in back yard and crates, along with dog safe toys, doggy gates, and non slip mats throughout the house for better traction for older dogs.

About: New to Rover, but not new to pet care! I grew up with a golden retriever named Daisy and a lovable mutt named Roxie, and more recently became a cat mom to Tortellini. I am a reliable, communicative caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Whether it is a walk around Lake Murray, a game of laser tag with your cat, playtime in the backyard or sticking to your pet's routine, I will keep you updated with photos and messages while you are apart. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while they miss you and give you peace of mind while you miss them. I am a full-time alumni manager and instructor with flexible work hours from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can provide visits early in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening after work. Each client is unique in their needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to what works best for you, including your preferred method and frequency of updates.

About: Let me look after your furry friends when you need assistance. I love all pets and will provide them with the attention and nurturing they deserve while you're away. Having been a pet owner of both dogs and cats for most of my life, I consider them part of the family. As such, I always ensure they receive affection and companionship while under my watch. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart; I understand their need for gentle attention and additional assistance, and I'm committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. I have a calm and patient personality that pets find easy to connect with, but I also make sure they follow your rules! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I am recently retired from education, and own my own business that allows me to work from home, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to taking care of your pets! I will happily take care of your pets in your home so their routines remain in place as much as possible. To ensure I know all the ins and outs of your pets needs and they meet me with you around first, I do request that we have a meet-and-greet before the first time I care for your pets.

About: My 1st Drop-In visit is free for multiple visits, just ask! While taking care of multiple pets in my household growing up and dogsitting for friends and family, I know the amount of care and love a dog needs to sustain a healthy and happy life. I like to stay physically active so walking, playing in the yard, or going to the park isn't a problem. I'm currently working part-time, so I do have time to spare for your pets! I am available mainly on the weekends, but during the week I am usually free for pet care/drop off/pick up. I have a fenced yard and a walking trail in my neighborhood for anytime the pups need to go out. I can keep your dog crated or let them roam free around the majority of the house if I am not home. I am available to feed and water your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be.

Clara has been very accommodating and willing to work things out with my dog, Beckett. I love that she uses the rover card so i can get notifications in real time when becket has been picked up and where he went on his walk so i do not have to worry if i haven't heard anything. She is very responsive and listened well to the routine i explained for Beckett.

About: For about two years I took care of my cousin's amazing dog Cyrus. My cousin had to travel extensively, so my routine with Cyrus was fairly involved. I took him on almost daily 45 minute walks, during which Cyrus would do his best to sneak tasty poop nuggets from under my laser gaze. I fed him twice per day, adding extra carrots as necessary to fuel some afternoon rounds of golf (his favorite game). And we'd bark at a few cars if they seemed extra suspicious. I also took him on routine vet visits and nail trimmings. I've also pet sit my friend's two cats, Iris and June, when my friend was away for several days. This included keeping the food and water bowls clean and filled, as well as playing with strings (Iris's favorite), and playing hide and seek (June's favorite). Currently, I'm switching from my former profession of teaching Physics, to my future profession of Data Sciece/AI. Right now this entails a lot of sitting and studying, which gives me plenty of time and opportunity to help care for your pet. My particular modus operandi will obviously be at the discretion of the pet owner. But generally, I am comfortable feeding your fur-friend, taking them on walks/playing with them, and taking them for routine visits to the vet if necessary.
