“Super experienced and it shows! Seems to be a definite pet lover at heart. I loved getting to see the pictures of Aurora’s adventures during her walks. Overall I would 100% recommend Alena to anyone!”

“Aru looks forward to his walks! Jeff is amazing and I appreciate his willingness to alter his walking schedule as my son is visiting this weekend. I feel safe and confident letting Aru walk with Jeff! I would feel comfortable referring him to all my friends with animals!”


About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats over the years and always go above and beyond to make them and their parents happy. I have worked with small and large dogs, one to three dogs at once, old and puppies. I love animals so much and watching them is always the best part of my day! I have my own business so I am able to leave and walk a dog whenever I need to! I also work a night job 2 nights a week but it’s typically only for 5 hours. I am very attentive and any time I am walking a dog I make sure to be very aware of our surroundings. Even when I let them out in a backyard I make sure to keep an eye on them. I always make sure everything is okay before I leave (checking there’s no food out, making sure they have enough water, triple checking there’s door is closed and locked!)
About: I adore animals and have structured my entire professional life around being a fur mom of 24 years. I’m a rescue dog mama to my two sweet nine-year-old girls, Hazel and Ruby. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve had four dogs of my own over the years, so I understand how much trust it takes to let someone care for your fur baby. They are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’d be honored to help care for your fur baby while you’re at work, traveling, or simply needing extra support in your day. I currently offer Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits. During each visit, I’ll make sure your fur baby receives loving attention, movement, fresh water if needed, and a calm, caring presence they can feel comfortable with. I’m especially mindful that every pet has their own personality. Some are playful and social, some are shy or sensitive, and some just need a little extra patience and reassurance. I always do my best to meet each fur baby where they are and care for them in a way that feels safe, kind, and respectful. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful updates, and photos so you know your fur baby is in good hands.

About: I know the guilt you feel having to leave your baby but I am here to give them love, attention, and exercise while you are out! I have grown up babysitting, house sitting, cat and dog sitting. I have a 5 year old black lab, Lola, and 9 year old black lab, Duke, who are my whole world. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Much love, Kendal I work from home so I am home all day. We can work on some training, go for walks, or hangout in the fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in yard and labs who absolutely loves to play!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and horses . I work remotely so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can easily meet you anytime I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can be there whenever you need! I’m on lakeview avenue so I can meet Thomas Regan city beach any time!

About: What I would say sets me apart from other walkers/sitters, is my care and attention to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and adjust my care style accordingly. I have always had a passion for animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available almost everyday, all day to care for your pups! I just recently moved up to South Lake for college and am living in the dorms, so I’m trying to save up some extra money doing what I love! On walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I always stay alert to surroundings, and avoid busy or unsafe areas. I always make sure to bring water on longer walks, watch for signs of tiredness or overheating, and give them time to sniff and explore. I also reinforce good leash behavior with gentle guidance and positive encouragement. Each walk is a mix of exercise, care, and fun.
“Melissa was exceptional! She helped me while I was injured and couldn’t walk my pup for a weekend. She was so timely, communicative and professional! Jojo loved every time her car pulled up and greeting her and it’s clear it was mutual from Melissa. She listened to all of my crazy dog mom requests and worries as I never have someone else walk him and was a breeze to work with. She brought her sweet golden Obi along for one of the walks and Jojo was thrilled! So thankful to be able to trust someone else with my pup.”

About: I live in a private home with a large, fully fenced-in yard off of Ski Run Blvd with three female rescue chiweenies. I have had and cared for dogs (large and small) as well as cats for 13 years and am loving, patient, and responsible. I love to get outside for runs down to the beach or to go hiking in the area, and try to bring at least one dog with me on every adventure. I have raised both puppies and cared for elderly dogs, including my own Golden Retriever Stewie who sadly passed away two years ago at the age of 12. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry family members as well as I do my own! My schedule varies, but I keep it up to date in the app and can be flexible if anything comes up or if needs change. I have a fully fenced in, private backyard off of a quiet street that is perfect for lots of running around with my 3 dogs, who are incredibly friendly and get along with dogs of all ages and sizes (and are great at tiring out puppies!). My dogs are crate trained and usually are in their crates at night and when I am away for more than a couple hours, and I would be happy to do the same or whatever is preferred for yours.
“Elyse helped us with dog walking and our dog was always happy to see her! She was reliable and easy to communicate with. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again.”

“Nicole is great with Bella. She’s very reliable and always on time. She actually takes the time to work with Bella while they’re on their walk. This has been a lifesaver for me. I had an injury and cannot walk my dog. Bella gets so excited when she sees Nicole coming into the door.!!”

About: Hello! My name is Alora, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve spent the past year working as a vet tech at a local veterinary hospital, so I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. If your animal is every hurt or sick, I am qualified to take care, and watch over them. I’m used exercising, cleaning up after, and giving medications to animals. I’m also a dog mom to a black and white Mutt named Ray. As far as exercising your pet, it can range from short or long walks, trail walks, runs, or playing with toys, depending on what they need/like. House sitting will consist of me keeping your pet company, feeding, and all the exercise they need. If needed I can spend the night, or if you prefer I can come back in the morning. I am currently a bartender so I can be available to take your animals out during the day while you work! I love to get outside and hike, bike, and go to the beach, so if you have an adventurous dog I can cater to its needs. I have a fenced in back yard that your dog can run and play in, as well as a few Roomate’s who love dogs as well.
Lake Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Unbelievable. Last minute request and she was down to watch my Theo. He was being tough to deal with and she took it in stride. They took a nice walk and drive and he calmed down. I was able to take some time for myself for an hour ish and it was heaven. Highly recommend Lauren!!

Therese has been wonderful with my two dogs, she was even willing to stop by for a preliminary meet and greet. She’s very attentive to details about our walking routine and my dogs’ needs. She was comfortable and happy to take my doggies in her car for a fun walk at their favorite place and for a good amount of time! Therese is a great communicator too, I highly recommend her for reliable dog-sitting! :)
