“Thank you, Hannah! Hannah did a great job managing Brodie who is a 92 pound two-year-old. He liked her so much he went over and hit his friend button after she left.”

“Meredith came by for a meet and greet with Oreo prior to the actual day. My pup loved Meredith’s attention. She took him to the backyard for sunbathing, walked him nearby and also watered the potted plants and planter boxes in our backyard. We will be keeping Meredith in mind when we have need of her assistance.”

About: I have been in the veterinary field for over 32 years and in all those years I’ve also been house sitting and I love it. I currently have my days free and I’m pretty flexible to do check ins and exercise. I’ll also consider doing sleep overs if need be. I watch over the animals as if they are my own. I never leave them unattended outside. I make sure the animals are very comfortable.

About: I have had pets growing up and enjoy them and their company. Oddly enough while walking anywhere if there is an animal it will approach me. My wife says I have "Disney Princess" skills. I have two dogs that I care for everyday throughout the day, however, for others my evenings are the best times to during the week, and anytime during the weekend. I ensure I have a clean home, and monitor what my dogs are around to include knowing what can and cannot come into the house. Having a safe and clean environment allows for a helathy life for pets who are family.

About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life, and volunteered at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for a year after college. I've fostered kittens and a senior cat with medical issues, and cared for many older pets over my life. I once house sit for a family with rabbits so I have a little bit of familiarity with them. I have house sit for friends with a standard poodle and a mini doodle, including giving the standard poodle his daily medication and taking them both for twice daily trips to the park. I have also checked in on my parents' two dogs and 5+ cats to feed them, let them out for potty breaks, play with them, and give them medication. My sweet orange tabby got cancer a few years ago and I fed him three times a day through a feeding tube and administered his medication as well. I work some evenings, so I am free most of the day to care for your furry friends. I take care of my own senior kitty in the mornings, after my evening shifts, and during any free days. I have pet sat for friends and family before, including giving medication and two daily walks. I will follow all instructions to the letter and ensure your pet feels right at home.

About: I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures so you can see what your fur baby is up to! I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time throughout the week to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and boarding in my apartment. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m stopping by your home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability! I share my home with my best friend, who also has experience boarding and caring for dogs, and our Great Dane. We’re both comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I personally have experience handling reactive and dog aggressive dogs and understand the importance of boundaries, supervision, and safe separation. Because other dogs may be in our care, I always want to know about reactivity or behavioral concerns beforehand so we can provide a safe and comfortable environment for every pet.

Sophia arrived early and was very polite when picking up Yeti. Instead of taking her on a short walk, she gave Yeti time to play and relax in the grass. She even let me know that she would walk Yeti for some extra time. Overall, it was a great experience, and I know Yeti enjoyed it!

Hannah was amazing with my dad's dog mollie. Mollie is a cocker spaniel who needed medications and a walk. Since my dad was in his 90s, he could not provide this. Hannah was patient and flexible and the consistent meds and walks made mollie a healthier dog that provided great comfort to my dad in his final days.

Christine was an excellent walker for our dog Bella. She came over the day before to meet her, was exactly on time for her walk and sent to a of pictures even including some of our jealous kitty who doesn’t get to go outside! She was accommodating when I plugged in the wrong time and again when I had to cut my trip short due to my daughter getting ill. I will absolutely use Christine in the future!

Justin is fantastic. I've used him twice now when surgery has prevented me from walking my dog for a few weeks, or when I had a house sitter who wasn't up to dog walking. Justin is prompt, dependable, flexible when we needed to be, and, best of all, my dog really likes him! You can't go wrong with hiring Justin.

Alexander did an excellent job walking my dogs, Rue and Reo. They were both patient and playful with them, which made a big difference in how comfortable and happy they were during each visit. It’s clear they genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and know how to handle different personalities. I also really appreciated how communicative they were with me throughout the process. They kept me updated during each visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Alexander to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

Myishia walked our Diego multiple times this past weekend, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Her energy is so warm and sweet, and Diego immediately took to her. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. I was especially impressed by her philosophy of leading with kindness and giving back through the way she cares for animals. She didn’t just show up to do a job; she took the time to earn Diego’s trust, and it showed. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. We will absolutely be using her again anytime we travel. Highly recommend.
