Dog Walking Poplar Grove

“Very reliable and everything went to plan. My girls were happy and not distressed when I got home.”

About: Previous experience with dogs and cats at local shelters as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Knowledgd in providing care for all types of different animals. Outside of roller derby training with the local league and volunteering with the food bank, my schedule is open and available to help with your pet care needs. I have previous experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and animals with low socializing issues; however, I am not a trained nor certified trainer.

“Jenna is such a wonderful doggie walker! She came in during a crucial time when we were unable to walk our two dogs regularly. She was very patient and kind to our doggies and maintained open communication with us at all times. Always happy to have her caring for our pups!”

“Great first meet n greet! My dog has never come toward the front door to a person- even me lol She came right up to Cari and there was zero anxiety. She was so happy when she got back.”

“I’m a healthcare traveler working in town for only 9 weeks. I needed someone reliable to walk my dog while I worked long shifts. Alyssa was wonderful with my dog, reliable, kind and available for last minute requests if I had to work late. She answered texts quickly and was wonderful with my dog and crazy schedule! Highly recommend.”

“I can’t recommend Natalie highly enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog, Blue. From the very first walk, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Blue can be a little energetic and stubborn at times, but Natalie handles him with so much patience, confidence, and kindness—it’s honestly impressive. She is always punctual, reliable, and communicates consistently, sending updates and photos that give me total peace of mind while I’m away. It’s such a great feeling knowing that Blue is not only getting exercise, but also getting attention, affection, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with him. Natalie goes above and beyond every time—whether it’s making sure Blue has fresh water, giving him extra playtime, or just noticing little things about his behavior and keeping me informed. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in the way she treats every walk like it matters. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Natalie is the one. I’m so grateful we found her on Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet.”

About: Hi! I’m Evelyn, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom to three friendly dogs and three cats. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves playing fetch, going on long walks, or simply curling up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from tiny lap dogs to large, active breeds like Huskies and Australian Shepherds. I work part-time four evenings a week (Monday–Wednesday and Saturday from 4–10 PM). On Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, I’m home all day. For boarding, your pet will still have company while I’m at work. My husband is home during my evening shifts, so our home is rarely empty. We work together to make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised playtime and three friendly resident dogs who love making new friends. Introductions are always done slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet is crate trained, I’m happy to crate them when requested or if it’s part of their normal routine. Otherwise, pets are welcome to relax with us in the home. We also have baby gates throughout the house, allowing us to separate pets whenever needed for everyone’s comfort and safety.

“Kara has been wonderful! Very nice and kind! She arrives on time and communicates promptly. My dog enjoys spending time with her and is excited to see her!”

About: *I currently have a 4 year old, neutered male, Border Collie mix* (If booking for 4 days or more, I prefer to bring him with me. If it's less than 4 days I can work with leaving him at home.) I've had dogs in my life since I was about 8 years old. My mom bred our dogs and I would help her. I helped to birth the puppies, feed and wash them, weigh them and track their progress, train and care for them. Since I was 18 I've adopted six dogs. One of them was deaf and blind when I adopted her. I've never been the first home for any of my doggos but I've been the best/most loving final home for all of them. I work part time and have plenty of time to spend with animals. I usually take my dog out for a stretch/potty every couple of hours and we walk at least once a day. I'm constantly looking for new parks and fun places to play. I have a three year old Border Collie mix that gets along well with other dogs and cats. The yard is fenced but there's no doggy door. I have some crates of various sizes if needed. The fur babies are allowed on the bed and all of the furniture at my house. I frequently pet/house sit for a Pitbull mix and she's one of my dogs besties. She has medication and a special diet. I've also frequently had my dad's dogs visit. So my dog is used to both having separate food and sharing in a communal pack. Whenever we pet/house sit we follow their house rules (i.e. - no dogs on the furniture or in the kitchen, etc). I'm trusted with keys to multiple homes and never stop by unless asked to.

About: I’ve spent over two years volunteering with Hearts 4 Paws and later worked at PetSmart for a year and a half, which gave me hands on experience caring for animals and tips/tricks to better care for your pets. I’ve fostered and successfully found homes for cats, and I’ve also pet sat dogs of all sizes and breeds. I truly believe animals are family and deserve to be cared for as such. I’m a college student so I will have plenty of time to give your fur baby all the attention and love they need. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule as long as I get a little heads up! I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost care. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and playtime, while keeping your home clean, tidy, and just as you left it.

“We've had Mark for 1 week now. He does his job really wonderful. It doesn't get more professional than that. We are so glad that Mark is running our Sisko.”

About: My family has owned dogs since I was about 4 years old. I currently have a 12 year old dog that I love to take on long walks. I have been dog sitting for my family a few times a year for about 10 years and would love to help out with yours! I have a fairly flexible job so as long as I am given enough notice I would be happy to fit in a walk/drop in visit for your animals! I am interested in Dog walking more than anything but my number one priority is making sure the pet I am with feels safe and comfortable. I am very careful to watch body language and if they don't like something, I will do whatever I can to make sure it stops happening.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, especially large breeds. I have hands-on experience administering medications, including insulin injections and more complex treatments such as chemotherapy. I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. Whether your dog needs structured walks, basic reinforcement of good behavior, or attentive care while you’re away, I can provide reliable, capable support. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, reliable care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, with weekday availability after 2pm and full availability on weekends. I prioritize keeping a consistent routine for your dog, including feeding, walks, and any required medications. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-managed dogs. I’m experienced introducing dogs safely and can separate or crate as needed based on temperament and owner preference. I maintain a structured, low-stress environment and closely supervise all interactions. I follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and activity levels. Clean, secure, and safety-focused at all times.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Different abilities from young to elderly dogs and from 15 lbs to 150 lbs. I like to practice calmness in regular and unknown settings. I usually have the mornings free to be able to walk/ run or hiking. I like to make sure the animals and myself are safe. I make sure animals have a clean area to eat and play. A healthy trusting relationship between caregiver and animal is crucial for me to know that everyone is safe and happy.

About: I love animals and have always been the go-to for friends and family when pet sitting. I had a senior cat that required daily injections and medications for many years, so I’m happy to work with senior pets who may need medications and other special TLC. I don’t have space for a dog of my own right now, so helping out with others’ makes me so happy! I work full time for a gardening organization, but my days and work hours are flexible so it’s easy to fit your pet and their needs into my day. I mostly work outside, and my office is pet friendly, so if your pup doesn’t like to be left alone, I can always bring them with! I have a fenced backyard and am happy to have your dog in my space. I prefer to sit dogs at their houses so they’re in spaces they know and aren’t stressed in, but am always happy to bring pups to my house or with me on my day.

About: I have taken care of pets for almost my whole life, from my own family pets to friends and family. I will give your pet my full undivided attention and care for their every need. I love getting out and exercising with pets, I’m not afraid of any messes, and every animal I’ve ever met has grown a bond with me. Your pet is your best friend and I will treat them as my own as well, I can’t wait to meet them! I currently am very flexible with my time and am able to dig sit on weekdays or weekends and dog walk anytime during the day. Ongoing long term schedules with your pet would be great. I love playing and exercising with animals so taking them to dog parks is an easy thing for me, I can walk them and get all that energy out, and I’ll be sure to make sure they get all their well deserved plays in!

About: I worked at a cat rescue for 11 years and can provide references. I loved taking care of the cats, and I started IV's for hydration, administered transdermal medication, and pills, when necessary. There is a dog park I can take them to across from my building and I love doing pet photography for the owners. I have a lot of experience dogsitting through Rover and have trained a 1 year old Pitbull puppy. My schedule is very flexible. I am able to take on sitting gigs with very little notice. I really enjoy looking after the cats and dogs. I love taking the dogs to the dog park at my apartment and can also take them on hikes with me if that is allowed. I don’t own any pets of my own but I do love taking care of the animals and can send frequent updates. I keep treats on hand and give them filtered water.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping friends and family with walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Being around animals has always come naturally to me - I truly fall in love with every pet meet. I’m currently studying for the ASVAB For the Airforce I have so much time in my hands, to distract myself a bit I have my dogs to keep I’m in Check and on my toes to remind me I’m not alone! I have a decent size yard for all 4 of my dogs, 2 of my pups play with my pitbull who is very playful. I do have a senior dog who hates being bothered he loves being alone in his crate, I try my best to take him out more but he rather stay in there. I also have some experience of cleaning houses I house sat for my aunt she told me I didn’t need to clean but I did anyway I can tell she was very grateful. I'm patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. Whether your pup needs long walks to burn energy, extra cuddles, or help reinforcing potty training, I'm happy to provide consistent, loving care.

“A big thanks to Megan who is able to do last minute walks, truly a lifesaver!”
