Dog Walking Meridian

“Kailey was very prompt and very professional. She was able to handle Toby with great care. Toby seems to love her already. I would recommend her for dog walking without a doubt.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a part of my daily routine. My first pet care experience started in high school, when I regularly walked my cousins' dogs and learned the importance of being dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's individual needs. Today, I live in a home with three dogs, so I'm experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, administering routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having someone keep them company, I'll provide reliable, compassionate care and treat them like one of my own. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. Available week days and weekends. Just give me fair warning and I should be able to help! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for walks and drop-in visits, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection.

About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I started training animals at the age of 16, which helped me learn how to understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Our home is full of love—we have two sweet doodles who are part of our family, and two children who absolutely adore animals and enjoy helping give them attention and care. Pets in our home are treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and playtime. We are kind, loving people who take pet care seriously. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, structured care, or just a safe and happy place while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible daily schedule and allows me to be present with pets throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. In my home, pets are treated like family. I don’t believe in isolating animals—pets are welcome on the couch, in the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. I believe cuddles, affection, and feeling safe are just as important as food and walks, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention while staying with us. They will be allowed to play in our large fence yard and pool. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I follow instructions exactly as requested. I respect your routines, rules, and preferences so your pet’s care stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means crate time, specific feeding schedules, or house rules, I make sure everything is done the way you want.

“First walk with Katie and a very active and shy Lagotto! She did awesome. I love how she tried to work with him and his leash needs and practiced discernment around other dogs. Caper came back smiling and she now napping. Couldn’t ask for more and I look forward to establishing a consistent relationship with her”

About: Hi! I’m your go-to gal with hands-on experience caring for two pit bulls, three cats, and a guinea pig. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, patience, or just a calm, caring presence, I’ve got it covered! Since it’s summer, my availability is very flexible. I work remotely, which allows me to keep my schedule open and be present throughout the day for your pet. You won’t have to worry about timing conflicts—feel free to check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability! I’ll be taking care of the animals in your home, but I’m very organized. I set alarms for feedings, clean up well, and I love playing with them.

About: I’ve shared my home with two beautiful cats for over 15 years — one playful boy and one gentle girl. Through active play, soft cuddles, and quiet moments of comfort, I’ve learned how to connect with them in ways that make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Caring for them has been one of the sweetest parts of my life. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do. As a teacher and church leader, I’m used to being attentive, consistent, and compassionate — and those same qualities shape how I care for animals. My two cats have been part of my routine for over 15 years, so feeding, playtime, and quiet moments of connection are just built into my day. Whether I’m starting the morning with cuddles or winding down with evening play, caring for pets is one of the most grounding and joyful parts of my life. I care for pets with the same patience, consistency, and heart that I bring to my classroom and home life. With my own two cats, I make sure they feel safe, engaged, and loved every day through a mix of play, soft cuddles, and calm attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and animals with the same respect I’d want for my own: following routines closely, keeping environments tidy, and always prioritizing safety and comfort. Whether I’m dropping in for a visit or staying longer, I aim to create a peaceful, caring atmosphere where pets can relax and feel right at home.

About: I've cared for furry friends since I could walk. My family raised me in an environment where caring for animals was a form of education, and one I'm happy to share every day. I own a business that operates in a seasonal fashion. This affords me the opportunity to be available where most aren't. Whether that be for day visits and walks, or night time check ins. My home is great for dogs. My old boy loves company. He's very gentle. I have access to walking trails as well. I am happy to accommodate for kennel trained or non-kennel trained.

About: I love all animals and have experience with animals with minor medical needs (ie. pills, shots, creams, etc). I have 2 dogs and am a 4x foster with LCHS with three of them being medical foster puppies. I also have 6 cats who have all come from different situations and back rounds. I excel at following your pets schedule and needs. I commonly house sit for a 100+ lb dog and am more than willing to watch your dog at my home as long as they are good with other dogs and cats. I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. We do not have a fenced yard but live in a very walkable area. Our dogs are crate trained and we have no problem crating your fur baby or leaving them out per your preference.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family for years now and figured it’s time to branch out the business. I live alone, have a large back yard and a nice park nearby my house. I would pet sit at times when I am available to and take on pets in a manner that makes logistical sense for me and my schedule. I check on them and look for any signs of obvious discomfort or distress. Make sure they have time to use the bathroom/clean litter box and water. Most animals will try and communicate to you what they need, so it’s good to follow the routines they have at home and interpret what they need and at what time.

About: I work at FSU (as a 9-month contract faculty), so I'm totally free (full time at home) during the summer. I love dog and I have owned one small dog 'Sadie' since 2013. She is very friendly, enthusiastic and gets along well with other dogs in our neighborhood. Sadie likes walking, so I take her to a walk twice a day in the mornings and in the evenings. I'd like to extend my love to your dog, especially for those who don't have the privilege to take care of their dogs full time. I have a large fenced yard. There is beautiful grass almost everywhere in my neighborhood. I can follow any directions given, and send updates throughout the day if wanted. If you are curious about the dog sitting time lapse in the past three years, that's because we had a baby daughter in the year of 2000. She is now 3 years old and she is a dog lover as well! The other reason is that our dog Sadie was paralyzed and we had to spend a lot time taking care of her. Fortunately she has been recovering very well and now she can walk normally (sometimes with a sling support on her back) as happy as she is always. We have learned how to take good care of a special needs dog. I'm currently on my summer vacation (as a 9-month contract faculty at FSU), so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and take good care of them as I do with my own dog - Sadie. I have a large fenced yard with a large covered patio and a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. With four bedrooms and a large sunroom, I can easily crate your pet or put in a separate (private) room if needed.

About: I’ve walked neighbors’ dogs and cat-sat throughout high school, giving me real experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I’m very attentive and great at following instructions, whether that means specific feeding times, walk routines, or special care notes. I always aim to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently attending cosmetology school Monday through Thursday from 8am–3pm, so I’m available for pet care after 3pm on weekdays, as well as evenings and most weekends. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I have a cat of my own and regularly help care for my parents’ two cats and one dog, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I follow instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of animals, for quite sometime. I used to live on a farm, so I can do chickens, goats, pigs, horses, cows. Dogs and cats are just my go too. I have 2 dogs of my own, and 5 cats. I have fostered plenty of kittens for the shelter, and all of my babies were rescues. As of right now, I got let go. I have open availability for when you leave for vacation. Or just go out of town for work. I take my dogs to the dog park twice a week, and a fenced in back yard. My boys like to dig in the litter box, so when I'm not home, I do crate them. Other than that, they hang out with the cats or outside.

About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.

About: Reliable, experienced pet sitter with a soft spot for senior animals and those with medical needs.

I work 7:45-1:30 most days, so while I have an early start, I still have plenty of time throughout the day to spend with your pets and give them all the love and attention they need!

For overnight stays, I also include light housekeeping so you return to a tidy home.

About: With over a decade experience, I provide a personalized and attentive approach to pet care that sets me apart.

With my open schedule as a recent college graduate eagerly awaiting a career opportunity, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. I understand the importance of consistency and reliability when it comes to caring for pets, and I am committed to providing flexible and accommodating services to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in my client's home, I take great care to respect their space and routines. I adhere strictly to any instructions provided by the pet owner regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, and specific care requirements.
