Dog Walking McGovern Park

“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”

“Aubrey did so great with Philly! Communication is great and I appreciate all the pictures she left us! Looks like our dog warmed up to her right away!”

About: I have pet sit for a number of family and friends growing up. This is just my first time dabbling in an official pet-sitting service. I am a reliable, transparent sitter dedicated to the health and happiness of your pet. I do work a full-time job Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. However, I am ready and willing to commute to work during the weekdays for house-sitting I am a clean, respectful house-sitter capable of performing small house-keeping tasks if needed. I am also very transparent and willing to give periodic updates during my stay.

“Sydney was awesome! She took a lot of super cute photos and was communicative and respectful. I would highly recommend her for your next walk!”

“Travis is so kind and knowledgeable, I felt comfortable with him right away. My dogs were also comfortable with him very quickly and that means a great deal to me. He has been reliable and a great communicator.”

“Wonderful Rover experience! Everything you would want when considering someone to care for your fur baby - Laurie is very responsive, professional, genuine, and caring. 10/10, will definitely use her services again and would recommend.”

“Yesterday was the first time walking our dog. Jessica communicated when she would arrive, when walking our dog, where they walked and shared photos of our dog taking a walk. I was out of town and felt very confident that Jessica was taking good care of our dog. We will have Jessica take care of Louie, our dog, again.”

About: My name is Karina and I've owned and cared for cats my entire life. While I've always wanted to add a dog into my family, my father is allergic. However, I never resist mingling with dogs whenever I can! I'm very experienced with caring for cats, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, etc. I am so open to home visits to check in on dogs as well as walk them. Outside of animals, I'm a pharmacist! Additionally, I love to travel, go to new restaurants, and cozy up with a good book. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! I do work full time (~ 11 hour shifts) so an animal who would need 24/7 care may not be the most ideal for my schedule, however I do have consecutive days off pretty frequently. I will listen to you and your wants/needs and how you care for your animals. Overall, I want to keep your animals as comfortable as possible whether that means sticking to a routine or something else!

“Another successful walk! Thank you Lucia and Happy Holidays!”

About: First and foremost, I’m a queer yoga teacher in the area and I haven’t used this account in least two years 😬 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. At four, my family started fostering cats (mamas and kittens were my faaaav) and I would help out as much as I could. Yes, I did try to name a kitten Washcloth. No, my mom did not let it stand. This love for animals carried forward throughout my youth with four cats, a German Shepard mix, a malamute, a boxer and pit. My house was always full and as the Aries eldest daughter that I am I always was the first to help out. I got a cat as soon as I could when I moved out on my own and about seven years ago I got a rescue pup of my own. I also have a Rottweiler who I helped raise and train from 7 weeks old. I dedicated so much time to gently training both of them and just pouring love into them. I can definitely help with training and love working with dogs on walking well on leash. I also really believe in positive reinforcement for your pets - they just want to make us proud. Truly a universal desire. I love long walks with dogs and lots of coregulation calm time. Trust that your babies will be treated like they are family. I am a yoga teacher and teach about 10 classes per week. Other than that I work remotely from my computer, so I can flex my time. I really value a slow paced life, so being able to really take my time and go for walks/hikes, cooking a gourmet dinner at home for myself and cuddling up with a good book. I have always been a very regimented, schedule following pet owner. I think it helps create consistency and eases anxiety for animals. Routines help animals thrive. I think frequent bathroom breaks are important. Long walks early in the day before the world is busy and it gets too hot in the summer are a priority. I also really love snuggling up and just having quiet, calm time with pets. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines/special requests pet parents have. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets! There’s never any judgement from me!

“Neida is a responsible and flexible dog walker/sitter. She communicates well and is responsive. I know that Josie enjoys having her come.”

“Ana takes Bella, my 1yo Golden Retriever, on 2 walks a week so Bella can stretch her legs when I’m on too many work conference calls. Ana is prompt, Bella loves her and Ana gives me a detailed report and pictures through the app each time. I highly recommend Ana and am so glad to have her walking Bella.”

“Jessica went above and beyond all expectations! She was great with Sullivan and even brought in a package off of our porch when she dropped sully off. Amazing walker and will definitely book again! ☺️”

Markie J.

“Riley was wonderful with Rocky! It was great to receive pictures from their walks each day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker :)”

Emily D.

“Krystal has done a fantastic job taking our high-energy dog on walks. She’s prompt and shares details about how things went afterwards. She’s also been great about following any specific instructions or requests. I feel very confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”

About: Hello! I come from a family of dog lovers currently with 20 doggies in just my imitated family plus close aunts/uncles and cousins. We have quite the hectic family holidays. I've had lots of dog sitting experience between all those pups as well as being on Rover for 9 years now. My favorite pup is my border collie/aussie mix, Piper. She’s a rescue, almost 8 years old and all energy all the time. She’s keeps me active and taught me how to keep dogs physically and mentally exercised. I’m super easy going, just let me know how I can help you and your furry friends! I am fully self employed, pet sitting and dog walking is my main gig! I am able to do walks and drop in visits 7 days a week and I am open for doggie day care on weekdays. Dogs will always be kept on leash unless in a secure, fenced in area with me. Every animals needs are different, I am happy to hear every details about your pet to know how to best care for them. Happy to feed and care for any additional pets (fish, birds, etc.) during my visits as well!

“Charlotte was awesome. The dogs were a bit over excited at first but she did a great job of calming them down. Would recommend.”

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!

About: My dog care history began when I was in middle school and became caretaker for my family dog, Charlie (a Shiba inu mix). I have walked and cared for dogs of many different sizes and all ages both in my personal life and professionally. I have over 3 years if experience at doggy daycares. In my personal life I have cared for my dilute tortie Smokie for 7 of her 8 years. I have also cared for reptiles and amphibians at the Urban Ecology Center and am trained to handle snapping turtles. I love animals of all kinds. I work part time and currently have a very open availability. I am willing to work weekends and holidays. Please ask me if I'm available! I believe in the importance of safety, health, and enrichment. Your animals needs - both physical and emotional - are a priority to me. I put in the time and effort your animal deserves.

“Very pleased and relieved that Montserrat has been able to walk my fur babies. She is great and they love her!”
