About: I grew up in home with dogs and cats. In my adulthood I’ve cared for many friends and families pets as well as having my own pets throughout the years. I’ve worked with puppies who need lotsa attention and senior dogs who require timed food/medication schedules. I am a mom to school aged kids and do a lot around the house to earn income which keeps my life fairly flexible. I can work within most peoples schedules and timing expectations. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac with a fenced in yard that opens to a park. I’m also very close to a handful of dog parks. The kids and I live a balanced life of activity and rest that we love to include pets in.

About: Hi, I'm Evan! I've had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Growing up with dogs taught me that great pet care is about more than just feeding and walks—it's about understanding each dog's unique needs and routine. Today, my wife and I have a large German Shepherd mix of our own, which has given me firsthand experience with everything from daily exercise and training to maintaining a consistent schedule and creating a calm, structured environment. I believe dogs thrive when they receive the right balance of physical activity, mental stimulation, and relaxation. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or prefers a quieter routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive care tailored to their personality and needs. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. From feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes and bedtime habits, I'll follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels comfortable and secure. My goal is simple: provide safe, reliable care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I treat every client's home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they can maintain a sense of normalcy while their owner is away.
“Andrea was super responsive and punctual. She left a detailed note about Jagger’s walk. She was very patient with him! She gives off very kind and caring energy. Would 10/10 recommend and use again.”

North Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adreanna was great! She took excellent care of Tonto and was very easy to work with throughout the entire booking. I never had to reach out or worry about anything, and I always felt confident that Tonto was in good hands. For anyone with a senior dog, I highly recommend. I’m sure she’s great with all dogs as well. I would absolutely book with her again.
Yanke has been wonderful with our big anxious boy! He was a late Covid puppy and did not get much out of the house socializing. she has been great at handling him and he seems to really enjoy his walks with her! He does not like most people and is dog reactive. She has been able to handle him on walks no problem.
My dogs adore Chase! Somehow, they always know when he's coming and they wait at the door for him, then push me out of the way to greet him when he arrives. He always shows up on time, lets me know when he is on his way, and is extremely personable and kind to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a dog walker!
Megan always does a wonderful job walking Cooper when I’m at work! She is very communicative and provides an update about each visit and photos from the walk and/or playtime. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her when needed - today, she arrived to find that Cooper had gotten into the trash and littered it all over the downstairs. Without complaint or me having to ask her, she cleaned all the trash up while I was gone and then let me know what had taken place. This is just another one of many reasons I would highly recommend Megan if you’re ever in need of her services!
Sophia has taken excellent care of my dog! She is reliable, prompt, personable, responsible and kind. She follows all of my care instructions to the letter and consistently performs at a very high level. I would not hesitate to work with Sophia and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great walker or sitter.
I cannot say enough good things about how great it has been having Katy walk Ned following my surgery. It really helped keep Ned happy and eased my mind that he was taken care of until I could handle walks again. Ned loves her and would sit by the door waiting for her to arrive. I will definitely use Katy again in the future!
