“I’ve been using Katie as our dog walker for the past few days, and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provides. She takes great care of both of my dogs, Cubby and Audrey, and always ensures they get a good walk and plenty of attention. Katie is reliable, punctual, and very personable. I love getting updates after each walk, complete with photos of my pups looking happy and well-exercised. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I trust her completely with my two fur babies. Highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I love every dog and cat I take care of. I have always had dogs while growing up so i have seen the puppy phase to old age senior dogs. I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family once in a while over the years when needed to help them out. I am happy to do whatever it takes to make sure your dog and cat are safe and well cared for. I am doing this part time to gain more experience as I want to be a vet tech. I currently have a part time job while doing rover and am available to house sit, drop in, and walk your dogs. I am available most mornings, early afternoons, and late evenings. Let me know what you need and we can work something out. :) Taking care of your pet will be like it is my own pet. I will feed, pet, play, walk, love, etc. Anything they need to feel safe and happy while you are away from home. I want them to feel comfortable as much as possible.
8. Cynthia S.
“My partner Cindy absolutely loves dogs. In fact, she is largely responsible for my own fondness for pooches. Whether it's our own dog Jazzy, a neighbor's dog, or any canine with whom she comes in contact, Cindy is always warm and friendly. Dogs love her almost as much as she loves dogs. She talks to, plays with, and walks dogs naturally and enthusiastically. She's also reliable, punctual, responsible. Highly recommended.”
9. Emily A.
“Emily did an amazing job of taking care of my dog Thor on his mid-day walks. Even in the bitter cold, she took him to do his business and played with him back at the apartment since he hated the cold. She followed my instructions perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely rebook!”
10. Jazz B.
“She was so kind and very flexible with my schedule!”
11. Kristin P.
About: I am an animal lover. I have always had fur babies and would love to meet yours. I enjoy going on walks with dogs, playing fetch, and letting them sniff everything. I love playing with lasers with cats and seeing them be silly with boxes and feathers and toys. I work part time days at a local hospital, so my early evenings are always free. I can also drop in during mornings a few days a week. I love going on walks with dogs and playing with lasers with cats. I am able to crate dogs when needed. I have experience with multiple types of litter boxes. Additionally, I will send pictures and videos with each visit and updates of how your fur baby is doing
12. Kathy & Katrina S.
“These ladies are very caring and attentive. They provide daily feedback to let me know how Tazer is doing and take pictures and video when they are on their walks. I'm very happy and know Tazer is well cared for when I'm at work.”
13. Emily M.
“Finally a perfect fit! When I first met Emily I knew she was the right fit for my 2yr. The two bond at first sight. Emily is patient and understands rescue dogs. My girl has anxiety, stubborn, and barks at everything and everyone. Plus, it takes her awhile to trust a new person. I’m very pleased with Emily. She keeps me posted, sends adorable pictures and always going above and beyond.”
14. Meghan D.
About: I grew up with Springer Spaniels, and Great Danes. Currently a Dane momma. I've had cats, bunnies, and ferrets,. From baby to adult, I have experience with all of them. I work at a golf course 4 days a week, and the season is coming to an end. My availability is pretty much wide open. I'm an empty nester as of earlier this year, and being around animals is a great way to keep me busy, and I love it! We have a daily routine at home. I know when she has to go out or just wants to play. I know how to deal with the "zoomies".
15. Brianna C.
“Very patient and kind.”
16. Marissa M.
“Marissa is the best! Always on time and pleasant. Cody gets so excited to see her every week for their walks!”
17. Lisa H.
“Lisa is super reliable. We can rest assure that our pet is in good hands.”
18. Stefanie B.
“Stefanie is definitely a dog person. She is responsible and loving, and is an experienced caretaker. Having a couple dogs of her own, I know firsthand how much she cares for her pets (Jack and Bella), and can see she has an affinity for mothering. I don’t know anyone with whom I would feel more comfortable leaving my own pets with. 1000% Recommend!”
19. Erika K.
“Erika is a very responsible dog care taker. She is super flexible and has had experience with all different breeds large to small. At her home away from home she has three dogs. She even knows how to clean up as well. She takes my dogs on great walks and plays with them. Erika rarely leaves the dogs alone for more than an hour and makes sure they have everything they need to feel at home. She allows them to go on furniture and even sleep in the bed. Overall I was very impressed and satisfied with her services. I highly highly reccomend her. ”
20. Tessa K.
About: I have had pets since I was born. Experience with all sized dogs as well as exotic pets! My personal dog is a pit bull named Izzy. Over the summer I work at Brookfield Zo! I am a student with lots of gaps in my schedule to come and take care of pets in my free time. I can always find time for care. I only care for pets on other homes because I am a student. Any specific instructions that the pet needs will be followed closely on a case by case basis.
