“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”


“This was my first time using rover to watch over my kitty Ellie. Michelle was great in showing up and spending quality time. She also sent lots of photos which I appreciated!”



“April took care of my family’s senior beagle for a few days and she was amazing. She sent us daily pictures and reports ensuring our peace of mind while we were away. I’m definitely contacting April again :)”


“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”


About: I have been a dog walker for a bit now and I love animals! I am able to walk any size dog, and I am capable of walking multiple pups at once. I can accommodate for dogs of all ages too, new puppies or senior dogs. I have also had dogs in my family for my entire life. I’m a recent college graduate, trying to earn some extra money. I am a very positive and energetic person! I love to be outdoors and exercise lots. Rover seems like an awesome app to meet some amazing, lovable pups! I work full time in the Southern Metro area. I am fully available on the weekends! I am completely free on Saturday and Sundays :). I am happy to go for long early walks in the morning or later at night. The pet and their needs should always come first. I love a cuddly dog that can curl up on the couch with me or I can go on a hefty walk around some of the lakes!

“Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.”


About: I have a senior small dog and have had cats & dogs my whole life! As a senior dog mama, I understand the patience and extra care needed by these and all pets and will take extra care to give your animals love and attention. I am also experienced at getting my dog to take his pills two times a day. I work from home so I am pretty flexible when it comes to times I can drop in or take your dog for a walk. I am patient and loving when it comes to animals and am especially understanding about the needs of older pets. I would welcome detailed instructions and follow client’s lead when it comes to care for their pets.

“Rikki was great with the details about cat care and very attentive! I felt great relief knowing that cats were in good hands with a reliable person to stop by and tend to their needs. Definitely will recommend!”


“Melanie does a great job! She has good communication, sends lots of pictures to let us know how the kitties are doing. Our girls are shy but warming up to her well ☺️”



About: I grew up on a dairy farm with animals all around me. I have always had dogs, cats, and other critters. I am comfortable with just about any type of dog and am fascinated by the history of dog breeds and mixes. I am a professional educator and work Monday-Friday during the school year, but I am available to walk or drop in to see your pet most days after 4 pm. I am available after 4 pm most days and love to take dogs for walks. I usually walk 3 miles per day on my own so can adjust to your dog’s needs! I have a fenced yard and can use a crate if that's best for your dog, but I prefer letting a dog roam free in the house when possible.


“Jackson is a lifesaver with our dogs! We have a 10 mo. aus-shepherd mix with aggression and fear issues (wont allow strangers to come near us, or into the house or backyard). After a few visits with Jackson our dog is now so happy to see him each time! Jackson is one of the very few people our dog allows into our home, as well as to hang out and play with him and leash him for walks (if anyone has dealt with an aggressive dog they know the struggles, so to find someone we can count on for our pup is priceless). I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson!”


About: Very much a dog-lover; I’ve had canine companions for most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages as well as dogs with health conditions. I’m a nurse, so I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. I work from home, so I’m around all day to let dogs in and out of the fenced yard! Also flexible for timing of drop-offs and pick-ups. I have my own small, senior fur baby who loves visitors! That being said, we can only accommodate dogs that are friendly with other dogs. He has free access to the house, but we can also stick to any routines or rules that your pet is used to.

“I highly recommend Shannon. She was intentional about a meet and greet to get to know us, she had thorough updates for each visit and even helped administer insulin for our diabetic cat. She has a warm, kind energy that any animal would love!”


About: I grew up with a border terrier and a constant love for animals. I would help my parents with walks, feeding, playtime, and training. Additionally, I've always hung out with the pets, (especially dogs) at any family or social function. I have also helped friends and family members with dog-sitting and walking when necessary, and have gained a lot of experience with many different breeds through that. As a full work and part-time soccer coach, I am currently offering week day evening and weekend availability. I look forward to filling my free time with lovely adventures alongside your beloved pups. Pet safety and comfort is my utmost concern. Regardless of service, I guarantee to follow any and all instructions provided and communication clearly and easily.
