“Kortney D. has been absolutely amazing with my dog, DECON. She is incredibly communicative and provides detailed updates about every walk, which gives me complete peace of mind. I always know exactly how DECON is doing and what transpired during their time together. Most importantly, DECON absolutely loves her! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none. I highly recommend Kortney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker. She does a tremendous job, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for DECON!”
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: I am reliable, responsive, good with communication, and punctual. I have experience giving medication and caring for our family dog, have provided in home pet sitting for friends and family for years. I love giving attention to, playing with, and offering lots of snuggles to any dog! I’d be happy to help make being away from your pup less stressful knowing they’re getting not just great, but also loving care! I am fully available Monday through Thursday. My schedule varies on the weekends, so please message me if you have a weekend request. Thank you! I offer drop in visits that include playtime, snuggles, potty, feeding and refilling water bowls, cleaning accidents, walks if requested, administering medications if needed. My goal is always for your dog to feel loved and safe when they see me!
“Marilyn was incredible! She came by with very little notice to take my puppy on a long walk and visit to the dog park when I was feeling under the weather. She even brought her adorable dog along with her to join the walk and play with him. I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.
About: **Took a couple years off after re-locating from Washington state because we were renters. We are now home owners again and offering services!** Experienced, reliable, and passionate about pet care. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes and offer drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration, and personalized care based on your pet’s needs.

For those interested in doggy daycare and boarding (I will be opening up my boarding services in August), my home offers a fully fenced yard on an acre! Plenty of room for your pup to follow their nose safely, get their zoomies out, chase a ball or simply just lay outside and soak up some sunshine ☀️
About: I grew up with the sweetest, most loving dog. My family lost her years back, and I’ve missed having a dog of my own, but being a student, I do not have time to get one. However, I have dog sat and cared more family members and friends and have loved every second! ❤️ I recently graduated from grad school and just moved down to TX with my fiancée! I am currently studying for my boards exam and am available all day M-F. 🤗 I have a house with a fenced in yard, feel comfortable with crating dogs, and any additional responsibilities that may be asked of me! I also love running, if any pups have a little more energy to burn through!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different ages and backgrounds with many different needs for many years. One of my passions is helping people and loving on their pets is a bonus for me! I have worked with animals that need regular medication administered to just a little love every couple hours! I am currently a college student and I do a lot of pet sitting/housesitting while I am on break or home! During this time my schedule is very flexible! I offer full services depending on what my client needs for their fur baby. I feed, walk, play, and keep up with the daily needs of the home (per clients request). I am very flexible and am willing to help with daily chores like checking the mail as well!
About: I’ve casually taken care of dogs and cats for friends for several years, but I’ve had experience handling farm animals like alpacas since I was eight. I’m not afraid of cleaning messes or handling big pets, and I love to pamper my fluffy clientele! I’m a college student who has a lot of availability, so I’m here for your pets every need. I can pop in early morning, noon, and late at night! I like to keep every environment I’m in better than I found it, and I’m happy to tidy up and comfort my fluffy pet friends when their family is away

About: Personal pet owner for 15 years and go-to pet sitter for the neighborhood. I’ve had experience looking after all kinds of pets: young pups, elderly dogs, chill cats, cats from hell, and everything in between. I’m first to show a little love, but not afraid to reinforce a little training and discipline. I’m currently on a job hunt right now, so not sure what my week may look like. I’m basically available, but if something comes up I’ll let you know ASAP. I will do the basics. Check food, water, medications, bath, litter, poop, ect. But I will try to spend some time with your pet, whether that be playing or chilling for a little while. More or less, “reading the room.”
About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence
About: I have been in the veterinary setting since I was sixteen and I've been a veterinary technician for a couple years now! I am now focusing on the most important thing in life which is family and I would love to take care of your fur babies when you need it! I am a certified forehead kisser and a great conversationalist with the non-speaking, I do not discriminate on personality and/or breed. I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.
“Kimmie was amazing from the beginning, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and helped me out when my usual dog walker was out of town. Will rebook when I need a walker again! Thanks Kimmie!”
About: I’ve had 2 kitties and had 1 dog for 10 years and have cared for other people’s pets all around the neighborhood growing up! I’m highly patient, gentle, and love all. I’m so open to checking in and taking them on walks, spending time with them, or overnight stays if needed! I’m a college student at UMHB and have a part time job. I can fit pet care into my days and any time on the weekends! While caring for your dog in your home, I'll ensure they’re at their best comfort, feed them on schedule, exercise them, and provide companionship. I’m patient and more than willing to help the dogs out on any training needed!
About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt
About: For the past 14 years, caring for dogs has been more than just a responsibility — it’s been a true passion of mine. From raising and loving my own dog to caring for others as if they were part of my family, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with daily walks to keep them active and happy, bath time to keep them clean and fresh, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and special needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, feeding schedules, or extra care for senior dogs, I treat every pup like my own — with kindness, responsibility, and lots of belly rubs. I’m a business owner so my time is flexible. With advance notice I can be available as needed and I can also be available on short notice as long as I’m available I have a fenced yard and a crate inside the house if needed. Your dog will be supervise at all time. Your dog is allowed on our sofa and free to roam around the house

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Little River-Academy. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
