“Dennis has done a great job winning the trust of my dogs. They are not used to strangers and he was so patient to build a good relationship. It is such a relief to be away and know they are getting a good walk in. I’m very grateful to have found Dennis on Rover.”
About: I offer 2-5 mile urban mushing hikes for dogs with lots of energy who like to pull. My dog Storm will usually join me for any walks unless otherwise requested.

About: Hi, my name is Philip and I love dogs. Through my life so far I have always been jealous of my friends whose parents allowed them to have a dog. But I take every opportunity that I can to play and care for dogs That being said, I have helped care for a couple of neighbors dogs and take them on many walks. One of them was German Shepherd puppy that I even was able to train and I grew quite attached. Whenever I am able to move out I plan to get a German shepherd for myself because of how much I loved my neighbor's puppy.

About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I do work for the school district 11am-1:30pm but I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. Any drop offs and pick ups will need to be before 9am or after 2:30pm I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Platte Woods
Maria is amazing! You just know she will be the perfect fit once you meet her. We used her for our 105lb doberman and she was so great with him and took some amazing pictures that we will always treasure. Our dog was on hospice care for an enlarged heart and she was confident with an emergency plan that really set our minds at ease while we had to work. The week she walked our baby we knew he was having amazing walks and being taken care of. She is personable, and we appreciate her great communication. I know we would have used her for a very long time.
