“She is great with Leo, very loving, patient, friendly. I recommend anyone looking for a walker, choose Jenniffer she’s the best!. Leo still finds himself looking out, and waiting for her to come and walk him. I will definitely be using Jenniffer again.”

About: My passion for animals has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Whether its a lizard like my pet bearded dragon or fluffy dog, I've never encountered a creature that didn't make my heart melt. Growing up with my German Shepherd, Roxy, gave me years of hands on experience caring for her from her energetic puppy days through her senior years with hip issues. I’ve also had the opportunity to house sit and care for friends’ dogs and cats, each with their own personalities and needs. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to adjust care based on a pet’s age, temperament, and physical abilities. Whether it’s providing an engaging walk for a high energy dog or offering gentle, attentive care to an older pet, I always strive to make each animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time job. Since my work schedule varies, I’m often available on different days throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I use this flexibility to make time for pet care and ensure I can give each pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I plan ahead to avoid overbooking and to be fully present during walks, visits, or over night stays. Providing reliable, compassionate care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent experience. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, rest, and play, and I adjust my care based on their age, energy level, and personality. For walks, I make sure each outing is not just exercise, but also mentally engaging and enjoyable. I walk at their pace, pay attention to their comfort, and prioritize safety at all times. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a fun, focused walk, I aim to give your pets the attention, patience, and care they deserve.
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and aim to treat your babies like my own. I am available most days during the summer and can walk your pups as often as necessary. I am a school counselor who is joining the Rover family to stay active during the summer. I am looking forward to meeting your pups! I can follow any specific requests that your dog may or may not need. My Kallie (Shiba Inu) gets hot on long walks during the summer so I always carry a clean collapsible water bowl and filtered water.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child as my mother owned several animals throughout my childhood. I have a passion for caring for animals as I have two of my own, who are extremely spoiled and well loved. You can trust that your fur babies are in good hands, as I will be sure to accommodate to every request and need that your pup/cat may need. I currently work full-time as a baker, early morning, so after 2 PM I’m free for the rest of the day! I would love to do something productive with that time, as well as make some connections with pets/owners along the way. I do not offer in-home services, due to the fact that I have my own pets. I can provide homemade treats, as I stated above I’m a baker so everything is made with natural ingredients! I can offer services as far as check ins, walks, feed appointments, playtime, etc. I will be sure to keep in contact with clients, and update them on their pet. Any concerns I may have will be immediately reported to the client, unless it is an emergency situation, (which both the client and nearest animal Hospital will be contacted). I’m a very flexible individual, as long as communication is there I have no problem meeting the needs my clients may have!

I have experience with all size dogs, cats, administering medication orally, and am also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I am currently working as a Pet Sitter and Dog Walker as my main source of income and schedule my daily activities around walks and pet sitting jobs.

This includes walks and potty breaks consistent with their regular schedule, daily feedings, administering any medication your pet may be taking, play time, cleaning litter boxes, walks, and also house sitting tasks like taking in mail, packages ,and watering house plants.

“Today was Kevin's first official walk for Baci .... it went great. Baci felt very comfortable with Kevin. Kevin was right at ease with Baci as well .... Kevin understood Baci's personality and idiosyncrasies so I know in the future that Baci will be fine. I will certainly use Kevin again. Great young man - always on time and super chill.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. We are currently in the process of fencing our extra-large backyard to ensure that all visiting puppies have a safe, spacious area to play and have fun. In the meantime, I’ll be taking them for walks around the block.
About: My husband and I both grew up with several dogs in our homes as children, and while we have no children of our own, our fur baby is a ten month old Shih-Poo, whose name is "Reesie". Reesie is the sweetest boy, who loves to cuddle, play, and run outside in the dog park! I'm currently a stay at home fur mom, and typically take our pup for walks every few hours! My husband and I take him to a park several nights a week after dinner to allow him time to exercise and play! There is a fenced in dog park here at our apartment complex, and we are willing to adapt to your pup's needs if a crate is necessary.
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I took care of my family pets growing up, and the I adopted my own twelve years ago and have raised and trained her since she was a puppy. I am confident in taking care of your pets in any way you need. They will be treated as my own and any special needs will be taken care of.

Kyle H.
“Kyle has been wonderful caring for my dogs. He took care of our older cairn terrier . At 13 years old Rune was a bit slow and just needed some attention, Kyle was patient and sweet with him . Our pug, Maxie , was so goofy and a bundle of energy and Kyle gave her more playful attention. Finally , we now have a rescue mini doodle that can be a bit feisty but Kyle gets on the floor each time to earn Moose’s trust and wins him over for lots of play time. Kyle has demonstrated his ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and give them all love . His calm demeanor and patience shows how much he adores dogs of all shapes and sizes! Kyle has been reliable and punctual, complete with a warm smile. He is a trusted caregiver to my dogs.”

Christi & Peter C.
“Christi and Peter are very kind, caring, people and animal lovers. Their dog Reesie is very well loved, well behaved, and well taken care of. Reesie is quiet and friendly. When he is around, he is so quiet that you almost forget he is there. He is very friendly with people and with other dogs, he is tolerant and he is calm; he gets these traits from his owners. If I had a dog, I would definitely have them watch my dog.”

Alexander V.
“Alexander is trustworthy and follows through with his commitments. He has compassion for people and animals alike. He has a natural affinity for animals large and small and they take to him. He expresses this by petting, belly rubs, back scratching, grooming and talking with animals. He instructs as necessary to sit and await food/treats. He is aware of animal personalities and is in tune to their "typical" versus "out of sort" behaviors. He is a caring pet parent.”

Haylee did an amazing job walking my dog, Cosmo! She was attentive to his needs, especially since he’s a brachycephalic breed and needs shorter walks in warm weather. Cosmo can be a bit of a handful with his play style, but Haylee handled him perfectly and kept him safe. I appreciated her care and attention to detail, and Cosmo clearly enjoyed his time with her. I highly recommend Haylee for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
