“Kate has an amazing empathy for dogs & their people. She is able to handle my 75 pound dog, (who is mostly not hard to walk), even when my dog sees a cat. Cats make my dog go bonkers and Kate managed him very well. In add, Kate is an energetic, knowledgeable, very personable dog lover. I absolutely will ask her for future bookings.”


“Christy is very professional, flexible, and loving with my dogs!! Needed help with a couple walks per week with my pups with my new work schedule. It has been a very smooth process and very appreciative of her help!”


“Beth is amazing! Pepper and I love her :)”


“Brandon was amazing with Arlo and really spent some time making sure he had fun. Great walks, played fetch and had some fun with him in pond. Arlo has a new friend and will definitely have them spend some more time together. Thanks Brandon”


“Andrew sure bailed me out today! Stuck at home with a sick kid and a traveling husband, like a knight in shining armor to my husky Taki, he was able to come and spend quality time with her that she needed. Taki instantly warmed to him much to my relief. A million thank yous Andrew!!”


“Abigail is so good with Boomer! She is attentive to his energy levels and he always comes back from his walks happy and tired. I am so happy to have found her!”


About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and just recently raised a puppy of my own. He is a very well trained dog, so I have some fresh tips and tricks if needed. I am confident I will take wonderful care of any dog- any size and any age! New to rover but not new to taking care of dogs! I’m currently taking a summer break- I recently finished up a residency and pharmacy degree, so I am looking forward to having some time off this summer. I have a few trips planned, but otherwise I will be home every day to be able to provide the best care for your pups. I have a securely fenced in yard along with a young pup who just turned 1 years old. He is very friendly and would love to have a friend to play with during the day. I also have a cat who mainly just sticks to himself during the day- please no dogs who are not safe around cats.

“Great job. Can tell her love for animals. Responded on short notice. I plan to use her in the near future again.”


“Alisa is doing such a wonderful job with Bella. Bella has separation anxiety and is doing wonderful with Alisa. Each walk seems to be getting easier for both! 😁 highly highly recommended!!”

About: I have owned and cared for more than 50 animals in my 36 years 🥰 I currently have a 2 year old cat and a 1 year old cat. Sadly I recently lost my almost 12 year old dog to old age. I grew up with skunks, cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, and more. I also have been fostering with local rescues for more than 10 years. Overall, I am just a big animal lover and find joy in watching other people's fur babies 🥰 I have a flexible work schedule that will allow me to help during the day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I work in a dog-friendly office so when I go into the office on Tuesday and Thursday I can bring your pup with me, if you're comfortable with that! Evenings, weekends, and overnights can also be arranged. If you need anything overnight I prefer to stay at your home with your pets so they are comfortable and not displaced. Let's discuss your needs! I am happy to follow whatever instructions you have for me to care for your furbabies! I know each pet is different. Generally, dogs go out to potty several times a day, as well as need fresh food and water daily. Cats also need fresh food and water daily, plus cleaning their litter boxes once a day.

I also like to provide picture updates and messages throughout my stay to keep the parent in the know. Your pets safety and comfort is my top priority.

“Erin is the best dog walker we could have asked for! She is patient and kind! Our little Beau Beau is curious about every little thing and she took her time to let him sniff and check things out. Our German Shepherd Charlie is not sure of other dogs so Erin made sure to comfort Charlie when other dogs were present on the walk. She sent some awesome pictures too so that we knew just how much fun our pups had! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future for my dog walking needs!”


About: I've had dogs off and on my entire life but it wasn't until we adopted our baby girl Coco that I really fell in love. We had 13.5 wonderful years with her, then after she passed we decided to foster dogs and have been doing that since Sept. 2020 with various local organizations. We have fostered 24 dogs so far and have sat 21 dogs, including puppies, senior dogs, dogs with behavioral and medical special needs. Everyone knows how much we love dogs and how we treat them all like family. My husband and I are retired so we are very flexible in our schedule and decided we want to do something meaningful and enjoyable in our retirement. We have a large 1.5 acre lot with a pond on property. It is very serene and peaceful here. Our yard is only partially fenced so we keep the dogs on leash when walking outside. We make frequent potty breaks and like to take dogs for walks in the woods behind our house. They dogs usually sleep on a bed on the floor in our bedroom but will be crated if we have to leave the house for their own safety.

About: I have two goldendoodles in my family and love them dearly! I’m looking to fill some time on my summer break with some sweet pups. I have the summer off because I am a teacher. Other than random plans with family and friends, I am mostly very free until mid August. I will explore the west side with your pups and keep them safe. I will make sure they walk closely with me and treat them with care!
