“Another successful rock with Ashley. She is the best, loves animals and appears very knowledgeable about dogs and cats. Have you used her numerous times and will continue to use her as needed”


About: Your pet’s happiness is my main priority. I have experience with big dogs and small dogs. I've grown up with Mastiffs and Great Danes. I have always been an animal lover of all kinds. I have had dogs all my life! I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I am married so when I’m away taking care of your pets my husband is home taking care of ours. I used to use Rover briefly years ago to help care for pets as a fun side job but working another full time made my availability difficult to work with consistently. I recently decided to start being active on Rover again now that I have more availability because working with animals is something that truly makes me happy and I’m passionate about. Daily walking (if requested) and playtime are included with house sitting. I can make adjustments to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I want to do whatever I can to be their advocate out in the world. My pets are my babies and I will treat your pets the same. I enjoy training animals and encourage proper leash & obedience training. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! 🥰🐾 I’m currently working part time as a personal trainer so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m currently very flexible for pet care. I treat your pets like my own! I make sure they are always well taken care of and happy! We play as much as they want and will go on plenty of walks if requested. Can’t forget about the endless supply of pets and cuddles as they please! I also can understand and respect a pet that appreciates their space and has healthy boundaries.

“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”


“Molly was such a joy to work with and went above and beyond to give our dog a much needed break and extra attention in the middle of the day. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”


“Larissa is absolutely wonderful. Our dog Paco, who tends to be wary around new people, grew to love her immediately, and with good reason. Larissa is so responsible, warm, friendly and kind, and she instinctively "gets" animals. She radiates positive energy and I am SO glad we found her. Five stars across the board!”


“Sophie has been walking our dog twice a week for the last few weeks and it’s been awesome! Sophie is always on time, is a strong communicator about what happened on the walks, and most importantly takes really good care of our dog. Our dog loves her and that makes me so happy. Thank you Sophie!”


“Sounds like our pup Sage had a great 1st visit with Bri! Bri took the time to come for a meet & greet the day before which was much appreciated, & then she sent great feedback/photos after the visit…we’re looking forward to her next visit & feel that Sage is in great hands :) Thanks Bri!”


“Madeline is great! She's very attentive, a great communicator, and truly cares for our pup. It's especially appreciated how caring she was for our dog Goldie as she recovered from her spay surgery. Would highly recommend☺️”


“Lisa was wonderful with our timid rescue pup. She took the time to let our girl warm-up to her, and by the end of the week’s walks, she got a tail wag!”


“Donna was awesome. Have two sweet but strong dogs and she took great care of them on their walks. We were staying at a hotel locally and needed our dogs walked mid day. Highly recommend her!”


“Anya was wonderful with Pax, prompt and had great communication! Thankfully, I was able to work around her flexible schedule, and after the 1st of 3 walks, Pax' tail was wagging everytime she came back! I appreciate her last minute availability after I was incapable of walking. A true lifesaver. I'd rebook with her in an instant.”


About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've had my own cats for over a decade. I got my own dog 2 years ago. I'm working from home on Mondays and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can come home over lunch if boarding during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.

About: Andrew grew up taking care of family dogs, and Katie grew up caring for family cats. Together, our family had a dog for over 12 years who recently passed away. We love animals and find joy in caring for them! Katie works full time from home so is available to take wonderful care of your pet! On the weekends, our entire family is home and can provide care and plenty of time for play for your pet! We have a fenced in yard and currently no animals of our own in our house. We are also available to come to your home for walks or to spend time with your pet during the day. Overnight care in your home is also an option!

About: I have been a pet owner for the entirety of my adult life and grew up taking care of my family's pets and the pets of friends and neighbors as needed - I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, fish, - happy to help care for whichever animal friend in your home needs extra love. My partner and I currently own two dogs with a variety of needs - both are rather anxious with different triggers. I'm used to and comfortable making connections with all dogs - from those most anxious to those most friendly! I have experience training and working with dogs with reactivity - one of my pups has leash reactivity that we still work on day-to-day, but he has come leaps and bounds from his anxiety around seeing other dogs on walks! I'm happy to work with dogs who have various energy, anxiety, and health needs when it comes to spoiling them during drop-ins or walks! Outside of behavior-specific skills, I have experience working with medically needy dogs. One of my pets went through a series of reconstructive surgeries after having two broken "ankles" a few years ago. From helping him lift his own body weight for potty breaks, med and pain management, bandage/wound dressing, physical therapy excercise adherence, and above all else, patience and love for the healing process! If you have a pet who has recently been through surgery or has extra medical care needs, I'm ready to learn their routine and help you manage their health and recovery. I work from home throughout the summer months and would LOVE to drop in and help YOU navigate caring for your pet during hectic times in your schedule! I am available most weekdays (except Wednesdays) and weekends for drop-ins, walks, etc. I am pretty flexible and have a wide-open schedule right now to fit your pet's needs into my daily and weekly routine this summer! I am truly dedicated to helping care for your pet in the way that makes sense for you, your pet, your home, etc. I am happy to follow various care instructions including specific walking routes, med or food plans, etc. If you have specific requests for me as a guest in your home as I'm doing drop-ins or walk appointments, I'm happy to follow! I truly am looking to help spoil your animal friends while respecting your routine and needs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was little. I treat them all like my own. If your animal has been requests I can accommodate. I work from home at night time so any time works for me since I have a yard for them to play and live life I have a fenced in yard and I don’t mind hosting them in my own or going to the clients home to assist the animals

“SO wonderful with our energetic rescue dog! We needed someone to walk her during the week of Christmas/NYE (while we had our hands full with a toddler and newborn)…Patrick took her on daily walks and returned a well-behaved and tuckered out dog to us. Absolutely perfect!”


About: I've had dogs since I was little and for years I have house sat, walked, and feed many other cuties (dogs and cats) around my neighborhood. I really love befriending the animals and making sure they are happy and healthy. I’m currently a junior at Macalester college and am able to caretake Monday-Sunday! The longest I would leave your pet would be for 4 hours. I always make sure your pet has had enough outside time and indoor play time. I consistently will check the water bowl and make sure to feed them on a schedule so they expect it! Other than the necessities I love spending extra time with them playing or watching a movie so they feel comfortable, happy, and safe.

“Cindy knows how to get to know a dog -- even suspicious cattle dogs like Eli -- and was great at keeping Eli moving and happy as he got used to walking with a new person!”

Haley S.
“Haley has taken care of my Maddie for 2 years. She takes her for walks, feeds her and spends quality time with her. Maddie was a rescue dog that is very shy and Haley has taught her to be more social. Not only does Haley take care of Maddie but she stay in my home and watches it while I am gone. I would not feel comfortable about leaving Maddie or my home if it wasn't for the fact I know i can count on Haley to take care of things.”

“Brittany has grown up with many dogs. Large dogs to small dogs and is very comfortable with all. She has personally cared for my dog many times when I have gone on trips or need someone to come over and bring her for a walk and feed her if I have a long day and cannot be home.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.
Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Merrlam Park.

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note

You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates.
