Dog Walking Midtown

About: My animal care experience and goals are grounded in the black feminist belief that the wellbeing of all beings and the Earth are intrinsically linked. I practice this value of care by taking time with animals and plants of all variety since I was a child. As a kid growing up in Louisiana, I gave care to a turtle, bird, dog, fish, and crawfish! As an adult, I’ve supported my friends in caregiving for their cats and well as co-loving the cat who takes care of our property- Granny Smith Kiwi. I have completely open availability other than a summer trip from July 27 to August 3. I am mobile and can care for your babies on site or bring them other for boarding in my plant-filled home. I create a safe and trusted environment for your fur and reptilian babies by developing a deep understanding an asking thorough questions about their routine. I hope to be a continuation of the love and care that you offer them.

“Maia was great! Communication is top-notch. She’s very responsive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the visits. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Bailee is amazing! We do twice a week walks. Very professional. Communicates well. I have very shy dogs and they warmed up to her quickly. She thinks ahead and goes above and beyond! Brings inside my deliveries and leaves towels down when the dogs get wet from the rain. She is wonderful and I greatly appreciate her care. 10/10!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, but my cat Mabel has been my priority for the past four years. I love all cats and dogs, no matter the size or breed, and I can ensure that your furry friend will be in a well cared after environment. I am currently working only a few short hours during the week so I have plenty of time to hang out with your best friend. I would be available both morning and nights to make sure that they’re able to go outside and play. I treat all animals with kindness and respect. My cat Mabel lives in a very clean well taking care of household. I also live about two minutes away from a park where I can take dogs to run around and play.

“Cameron helped my husband and me with walking/checking in on our dog for a few weeks, and she was wonderful! Our dog is nervous and untrusting of new people and Cameron was calm and helped put her at ease. Cameron was extremely responsive, on-time, and flexible with any last minute requests which was a huge help for our unpredictable schedules.”

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) Whether we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply spending time together, I make sure every pet receives individualized care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care their pet may need. I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your veterinarian's instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, compassionate care.

“Amazing as always! Allison is professional, caring and my dog babies love her.”

Angie C.

“Brittaney was professional and had a calm and friendly demeanor towards Tidus and my dog felt comfortable with her as soon as he met her. She was accomodating of my requests and she also always came on time. It was a pleasure using her service and I will definitely book her again. Thanks a lot for taking care of Tidus, Brittaney!”

Pamela Mae O.

“Chole is the BEST! She is always on time, she always sends over a bunch of pictures and will let me know of anything that happens during her walk good and bad! She is a vet tech so she is very knowledgeable on many things! Taught me how to spot a heat stroke and what do do if it gets to that. She is also suuuuper sweet with Hank! I would 100% recommend her and that is why I have her booked each week!”

Nito M.

“This is the third time Darius walked Arie while we were away for a trip. She looked so happy and well taken care of in the daily photos sent, as well as when we got home. We highly recommend.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gari was truly the most phenomenal dog walker I could have ever asked for! From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every possible way. They were always timely, reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Gari left detailed notes and updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear just how much care and attention they gave to my dog. You can genuinely tell that Gari loves what they do and truly cares about the animals in their care. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were unmatched. I honestly cannot say enough great things about my experience — Gari is hands down one of the best dog walkers I have ever had! If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, caring, and willing to go the extra mile, I cannot recommend Gari enough. My experience was absolutely amazing, and I would trust them with my dog again without hesitation. Thank you, Gari, for being so incredible!”

Imani K.

“Sama is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and communicates regularly with updates, which gives me great peace of mind. My dog adores her, and it’s clear she has a natural way with animals. She also handles all pets with care and professionalism. I highly recommend Sama to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets!”

Melannie Y.

“Kendall is wonderful! I had a last minute request and she came over immediately to do a meet and greet with our new puppy. It's very apparent that she loves dogs and is so patient with our shy puppy. I will definitely use her in the future.”

About: Dogs have been a consistent and meaningful part of my life for years, and caring for animals is something I approach with intention, structure, and deep respect for their individual needs. I began walking neighborhood dogs in high school, cared for my own dog, Lady, for 15 years, and began fostering in 2024 in her honor. Since then, I have fostered 8 dogs, including multiple litters of puppies and adult dogs with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. My experience includes bottle feeding, potty training, basic training, senior care, medical recovery, and working with shy, anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. This has given me a strong ability to read behavior, adjust my approach, and create a calm, structured environment that supports each dog’s wellbeing. I currently have cats in my home, and any boarding or in-home care is thoughtfully considered in advance to ensure safe and appropriate compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and clear routines so animals feel secure and stress is minimized. I live an active lifestyle, and dogs in my care receive consistent walks, enrichment, and attention. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and caring for multiple pets when appropriate, always prioritizing safety, structure, and stability. My approach is simple: thoughtful care, clear communication, and a calm environment where animals feel safe, understood, and well supported. Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, and I approach each booking with structure and consistency so pets feel secure and settled. I organize my day around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and check-ins, creating a predictable rhythm that supports each animal’s comfort and behavior. I am typically present throughout the day, with occasional short absences for workouts or errands, and I plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can fully meet the needs of each pet I take on. I only accept bookings when I am confident I can provide attentive, reliable care and maintain a calm environment. I provide calm, structured, and highly attentive care rooted in extensive hands-on experience with fosters, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, and medically complex animals. I currently have cats in my home, so any in-home care is thoughtfully evaluated in advance to ensure safe, appropriate, and stress-free compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervised interactions, and consistent routines to create stability and reduce uncertainty for every animal in my care. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs, and I take care to ensure each pet’s environment is calm, predictable, and well-managed. When caring in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to maintain continuity and reduce stress, treating each home with respect and professionalism. I accept bookings when I can fully support the needs of the pet and provide the level of care I would expect for my own.

About: I have had either a dog or a cat for the past 30+ years. I absolutely adore them and love to take care of them; especially if I can take them outside to play or walk. I have some experience with basic obedience and basic agility training for dogs. I probably can even teach your cat to sit! Please note this important information about booking with me for the first time: I am available to do meet and greets before the booking is confirmed and are happy to answer questions about my services before we set it. -I typically schedule meet and greets within one week in advance of the service. -I do charge for each animal in our care. Check out the Services tab for pricing info! -Rover does not share your address with me before the service is booked and payment confirmation is received. However, you may choose to share your address with me via the chat in the Rover app. I am a retired corporate gal and a certified animal lover! I am currently working part time (mostly evenings) and only during baseball season and have spare time on my hands. I am skilled with all types of dogs and cats. For dogs I had a reactive sweet girl so managing their insecurities is paramount to me. I can pretty much handle any situation if given details about your pet ahead of time!
