“From the first time we met Katie we knew our pups were in good hands! She’s very knowledgeable about pets and we were confident she would do a great job Katie was punctual for all her visits and went above and beyond what was asked of her. Couldn’t be happier with her service”


“So far so good. Steven showed me he new what he was doing yesterday when I introduced him to my dog Huxley. I had just adopted Huxley 3 weeks ago. Huxley came from a neglectful home and has never been properly socialized. He bolts when people approach him. Steven handled it like a champ, he got down on his level, talked to him in a calm gently voice. Offered treats and just pet him and showed him he is not a threat. He eventually unclipped the leash and Hux stayed right there. I highly recommend Steven!!!”

“Katrina was incredible with my senior dog (Sonny) who needed a little extra care, patience, and attention. From day one, she treated him like her own, making sure he felt safe and loved. She’s punctual, professional, and communicates clearly with thoughtful updates after every visit. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and dogs love her right back. If you’re looking for someone truly elite, especially for a dog with special needs, Katrina is the one.”
“Tess is amazing! My two pups warmed up to her very quickly and just love her! She is very prompt and communicative. She has a clear love for animals and I’m so glad I found her through Rover!”

“Tyler is absolutely amazing! He treats my dogs with so much care, patience, and genuine love—it’s clear they adore him and look forward to every walk. He’s incredibly reliable, attentive to their needs, and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and safe. On top of being a wonderful dog walker, he’s also such a kind, sweet gentleman who makes every interaction a pleasure. I feel so lucky to have found someone I can trust completely with my pups. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for the best of the best!”

“She is amazing!! I highly recommend her if you need a dog walker. One of my dogs is afraid of people and very shy, he warmed right up to her very quickly, I was shocked. She is great with my dogs! Definitely will use her again the future.”

“Shyanne is very reliable, friendly and does great with my dogs! She is very good at communicating and giving updates. I always feel at ease and know my dogs are in good hands with her!!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for many years. I'm the person people contact when they feel they need a trustworthy, kindhearted, animal lover who completely understands their beloved friends needs. I offer a safe, fun environment, and will cater to your requests! I have a large fenced yard for lots of playtime however I always walk with leash and prefer dog owners let me know if their pet answers to COME, in order to let off leash and play ball, or if they prefer to keep on a lead when outside for playtime. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs in my home since I was a child. Many breeds, from min-pin, to German Shephard. I prefer to care for dogs that are used to children. I have helped rescue, and foster dogs, for people in a variety of living circumstances, all with great results! I currently don't have any pets. My beloved Chihuahua Lily of 14 years died 3 years ago. Prior to her passing, I had many cats over a span of 35 years and a couple other dogs.

We LOVE Stephan! He is an incredible dog walker and honestly a lifesaver. He is always reliable, shows up on time every single day, and my dog warmed up to him immediately — which says a lot. I have a very hyper, rambunctious teenage bully, and Stephan handles him so well. He’s patient, confident, and clearly experienced. He consistently walks my dog longer than I book him for and truly goes the extra mile every time. Stephan is also a great communicator and provides thoughtful feedback after walks, which I really appreciate. I trust him completely with my dog. He walks Storm 5 days a week and has never once been late — truly dependable. Low-key I didn’t want to leave such a good review because we want Stephan all to ourselves 😅 — but he deserves all the praise. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pup like their own, Stephan is your guy. Highly, highly recommend!

Tyler is absolutely amazing! He treats my dogs with so much care, patience, and genuine love—it’s clear they adore him and look forward to every walk. He’s incredibly reliable, attentive to their needs, and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and safe. On top of being a wonderful dog walker, he’s also such a kind, sweet gentleman who makes every interaction a pleasure. I feel so lucky to have found someone I can trust completely with my pups. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for the best of the best!
