“If I could give Inzhu 100 stars, I would! Our golden retriever stayed with her family while we were on vacation, but the dog clearly got a vacation, too! We were sent lots of photos of him being carefully brushed (and in heaven), going on walks and runs, trips to the park, playing with toys, and getting extra treats. The kids were great with him and I know our dog had so much fun with them. It was a relief to be able to travel and know that our favorite family member was being cared for so well!”
“Nila had a wonderful time with Mrs. Amber and her family. Mrs. Amber consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Mrs. Amber to watch your pups!”
“Thank Rachel very much for caring for our cats. She has a very informative description that I liked, she has a beautiful place for the cats and sent very informative photos and other info about the cats while they are staying with her. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is interested.”
“Outstanding! Allie was very responsive, professional, and easy to work with. She clearly communicated throughout the process and kept us updated on how our dog was doing. Thank you for taking care of us! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child and enjoyed every minute of them. I provide a caring atmosphere to keep them calm and make them feel at home. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. Would love to watch your pup short notice or scheduled notice. They can stay a short time or for the weekend I have a six acre yard with a sweet dog who will keep your pet company and active. Lots of places to walk or chill
“Was fortunate to have Rachel respond to a request on a short notice need. Rachel did a meet and greet next day and I was immediately comfortable. Rachel is a dog person Porter immediately took to her and on my trip she gave me continual updates. Yoshi (her wonderful dog) shared his owners and home with Porter. I would not hesitate to contact her. I and Porter are thankful for finding some new friends Thank you Rover.com for working with great people like Rachel. Jackie &Porter”
“We were very pleased with the care that Dana gave our little dog! Doodlepunk came home happy and relaxed (not stressed.) We will be returning to Dana the next time we need care for Doodlepunk.”
About: I've owned multiple dogs. I've had dogs since I was little. I now have a black lab/ German Shepard mix and a male cat. ❤️ I have open availability. Any time, any day. Available on short notice as well. 🫶 I’m here for all and any of your pet needs. My dog zyala loves to play. The cat is inside and loves to play. I have a large back yard to play in, it is not fenced, but if okay we can all play back there. :)
About: Hi there, My name is Ella and I am currently stationed at Scott AFB. I grew up around animals and have always loved taking care of them. I have a 1 year old male Jack Russell named Eddie. If you need a dog walker or a place to board your dog, I will keep your furry friend happy and busy while he or she is away from home. I love the outdoors, and am always up to take a dog with me to go hiking. I grew up with Terriers and large dogs, so I am definitely used to high energy, headstrong dogs and know how to best handle many different personalities. I will treat your pet with love and care as I do my own and will definitely keep you updated with pictures during my time with them❤️ If you have any questions please feel free to message me! I am in the Air Force, so I work from 7am-4pm. I am available all day on weekends and can also work during the week after work (after 5pm) as well as holidays! Like I said, I love being active, so I enjoy going for walks or hikes with dogs, playing with your pets, just making sure they are getting attention and being cared for while you are away or busy! I know how nerve wracking it can be to be away from your dog so I will make sure you’re updated during their time away and that they are happy and taken care of.
About: I take the time to get to know each dog, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer flexible walking hours to fit your busy lifestyle, so your dog always gets their daily stroll, even if your schedule changes. I specialize in small group walks or solo sessions to give each dog the undivided attention they deserve. I make sure every walk is fun and engaging experience, building a strong bond with your dog while they get plenty of exercise. I typically start my day with morning walks, which helps energize both me and the dogs. Depending on the dog, these walks may be more leisurely or faster paced to match their needs. If you have a busy schedule, I would fit in midday walks or potty breaks to make sure your dog stays happy and active. After a day of work or activities, evening walks can help dogs burn off any extra energy before bedtime. I would create a pet friendly area with comfortable bedding, toys, and access to fresh water. If a pet stays over for awhile, I’d make sure they have their own quiet space where they can retreat if they need rest.
About: I am a pet lover of my Bichon Frise companions for 30 years now. My original beloved "Buster" was a special needs dog with constant care due to his epileptic seizures. With this past experience, and senior care to the end of his 16 year life, I am more aware of a pets needs than most caregivers. I have also had pets such as cats, birds, and my current lionhead bunny; Cadbury. I am flexible with your pets daily routine requests. I can accommodate morning and evening walks and will be available throughout the day as needed. I have a large yard for their bathroom breaks and my dog Gracie can accompany. There are also several dogs in the neighborhood to socialize with during their walks.
“Rebecca exceeded all expectations of dog care that I set for the weekend. My dog can be fairly energetic and loves extra attention and walks. Her experience was awesome! She came home feeling loved and was taken care of so well - when Oakley refused to eat Rebecca worked to present her food differently which did the trick. Oakley was happy and had lots of fun! I would highly recommend her care and plan to use her again when we travel or just need someone to stop by and give Oakley a little extra exercise.”
“Brittany and her husband took good care of our dachshund. My family and I went on a 10 days vacation, unfortunately we couldn’t bring milo with us. I had a hard time looking for someone to watch over our dog, but when I saw Brittany’s page I knew right away that I can trust her. She sends us pictures and updates everyday. I recommend Brittany and her husband if your looking for someone to watch over your dog. On our first meet and greet I can tell right away that milo will be in good hands. Thank you again for taking good care of milo! ?”
“Caryssa was AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond for our puppy Charlie. She was very flexible, sent pictures everyday and kept in contact throughout our trip. We will definitely be using her again if needed.”

Ella E.
“From the moment I first connected with Ella, her passion for dogs was evident. She took the time to listen to our specific instructions and requirements, ensuring that our dog's individual needs were always met. One of the things that impressed me the most about Ella was her reliability and punctuality. She was consistently on time for every walk, and I never had to worry about my dog's exercise routine being disrupted. I could tell that Luna genuinely enjoyed her time with Ella, as she came back from each walk content and happily exhausted. Overall, I cannot recommend Ella highly enough as a dog walker. Her passion for dogs, reliability, professionalism, and genuine care has surpassed all my expectations. If you are looking for a dedicated and trustworthy individual to provide top-notch care for your dog, look no further. She is an invaluable asset to any dog owner, and I am truly grateful to have found her.”
