Maureen was great with my dogs. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and I felt completely at ease about leaving my fur babies in her care. She accommodated my last minute booking request and even made time to come do a meet and greet on short notice. She was very conscientious, did everything I requested and was great at communicating. I would definitely book Maureen again and recommend her to my friends. A+ experience.

Megan did a fantastic job. She arrived right on time, was consistent with her walks and time spent with the dogs. I always got a detailed report card and cute pic of the dogs. She was fantastic.

About: I’ve owned my dog for 8 years and have volunteered at dog shelters as a dog walker for over 7 years. I have also completed Pat Miller’s Level 1 dog training academy. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs. I work full time, but I can walk dogs on my lunch break or after work. I use force free training and positive reinforcement with my dog. I use force free training with my dog, so I’m not comfortable with choke/prong/shock collars. I use positive reinforcement to get the desired behavior. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and consistency as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler routine, medication reminders, or extra attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping pets active with walks and playtime, and maintaining routines that help them feel at home. What sets me apart is the genuine attention and care I give every pet. I treat animals like family, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure each pet gets personalized care based on their needs and personality. I am currently working part and time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am also very available on the weekends. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and comfortable while in my care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I keep the environment clean, secure, and calm, and I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and food instructions for safety. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have a very energetic and outgoing person. I am also very active and love going on walks and playing! I took care of my family’s yellow lab starting at the age of 8 years old! I am used to handling bigger dogs but love any sized dog. At college, my roommate and I fostered a pitbull for a month and I learned so much from it! I also take care of my friends smaller dog often and created a trusting bond with her. I am currently working full time at Ike’s, either the day or night shift. I will have plenty of time to care for your doggies as long as I have a weeks notice to work around my schedule and plan ahead. I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In clients’ homes, I ensure pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining their regular routines—feeding, administering medication if needed, offering companionship, and keeping their environment clean. During walks, I focus on exercise, safety, and enrichment. Whether indoors or outdoors, I prioritize the well-being, happiness, and safety of every pet in my care.

About: I enjoy dogs and I enjoy walks so what better way to combine the two than becoming a Rover walker! I have most experience with small and medium dogs. I work flexible hours in my full time job currently, I am sure we can work something out that works for both of our schedules! Dogs bring so much joy to our lives! I love to walk and explore the neighborhood with a furry companion, throw a ball, and cuddle up with sweet dogs.

About: I've always had compassion for dogs and pets. Maybe they are reincarnated from our loved ones. Be gentle and loving and kindness comes in return. I'm flexible but may be available during odd times also, like midnight or early bird walks. I'm not much of a sleeper so if you need a late night walker I may be up. My dogs are pet friendly but could be crated also as that is where they are trained. It would be great to walk my dog with yours.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs in my family and helped take care of them. I also took care of, and played with, my friend’s dogs. I love dogs and enjoy caring for them. I am looking to make extra money. I get along with dogs very easily and love meeting new ones. I am available any time, both weekdays and weekends. I live in an apartment complex with one flight of stairs. The most important thing I do for pets is to follow their routine. I like to spend time playing with the animals, but also making sure they are getting the walks they are used to and meals at their regular time. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, so they are in familiar surroundings. I am an athletic trainer. I mostly work nights from 3-8 and sometimes on weekends. I live with my boyfriends and he works morning and is willing to help take care of animals! I live in an apartment complex with one flight of stairs. They are carpet and I am willing to pick animals up to help them if they have a tough time with stairs.

About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed

About: I'm an animal lover and dependable pet sitter providing caring, personalized attention for dos and cats. Whether it's walks, playtime, feedings or drop-ins, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I have great flexibility with my full-time job and can do drop-ins or walks as needed weekdays and weekends. Many working parents utilize my flexibility for a lunch time walk to break up the pet's day or anytime some fresh air and exercise is needed. I cater to what is best for the furry client and pet owner. I can do backyard play with the pet if the owner prefers that, or indoor time as well. Sometimes senior dogs just need some petting or fresh air while other dogs want to chase a ball and play fetch.

We had an absolutely AMAZING experience with Deborah (Debbie) as our dog sitter! She took such incredible care of our dog, Hoops, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to trust while we were away. From day one, she was professional, reliable, and so thoughtful. She consistently left detailed notes and sent plenty of photos, which completely put our minds at ease and made us feel connected to Hoops the entire time. What really set her apart was how much she genuinely cares. She went above and beyond—often staying longer than expected just to make sure Hoops was happy and comfortable. It was so clear he was being showered with love and attention. She played with him, walked him, gave him tons of affection, and treated him like her own. Because of her, we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our vacation knowing Hoops was in the BEST hands. That peace of mind is priceless. We can’t recommend Debbie highly enough—she is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for everything she did for Hoops!
