Dog Walking Rillito

About: I am Deaf and rely on ASL to communicate. I am an expert at reading body language both in people & animals. I've grown up with many different animals, mostly dogs. I had my own dog starting at age 8. I've taken care of dogs personally and professionally since then. I'd go dogsit neighbors' dogs at their houses and have family/friends' dogs at my house. I walked dogs for two years before COVID happened. I am a work-at-home mom with three kids (9 years old to an infant) and two pups. I am available on weekdays, weekends, days & nights! We are huge pet lovers here. I have three kids to keep your pets stimulated and busy. I also have a fenced yard and a two-story house. We also live close to a dog park if you've taken your dogs to a dog park and are comfortable with me doing so. I have two dogs to play with your dogs. We enjoy going on walks early in the morning and after dinner, so we will bring your dog along! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I will adjust my schedule to fit your pup's routine! Either my partner, Alex, and I or both are always home so the dogs are almost never on their own. I can bring my work with me wherever the dogs are, inside & outside. I have a fenced backyard, baby gates throughout the house, a storm door on the front door, several crates (medium & large), and a quiet & safe room upstairs if your pup needs some space. I have a lot of dog toys all around the house, blankets, treats, outdoor activities, etc to help your pup feel safe and comfortable here. I care for many anxious & nervous dogs, so I am well aware of their body language and know exactly what it is they need. If you ask my previous clients, they'd tell you that their anxious dogs warm up to me pretty quickly!

“My Clover girl immediately fell in love with Rob. He's kind, on time, communicates clearly and is fantastic with animals!! We highly recommend him!”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in pet care and training, I’ve honed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention. My approach combines patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, ensuring that pets feel safe, loved, and well-behaved. Whether it’s daily care, specialized training, or addressing behavioral challenges, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I care for. I'm currently working part time so I have loads of extra time to care for, train, and love on all of your furry family members. I have an enclosed backyard with one well-trained medium sized dog. He gets along well with most dogs, but can easily be separated if needed.

“We are so pleased with Jennifer’s work ethic and communication. There were a few glitches on our side, she gladly worked with us. We will definitely use her again for our dog, and our family dogs.”

“Ariel came by to walk my big boy, Wilbur (~100 lb Presa Canario). She was great! Came by to meet him before and took down lots of notes. He felt comfortable around her and I didn’t have a single concern after the trial visit! Her rates are unmatched and she provides quality care. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and proud pet parent to a full house of my own — 4 dogs and 2 cats! My dogs range from small to medium/large, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I take a lot of pride in everything I do. I’m a trustworthy, reliable, honest, and attentive person, and when I’m caring for your pets, I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to help with whatever your furry family member needs. Whether that means a good walk, fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, extra attention, or simply some companionship while you’re away — no task is too small or too large. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust with your pets. They’re not “just animals” — they’re family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. That’s a big part of why I wanted to join Rover: I want to give other pet parents the same peace of mind I look for when someone cares for my own animals. My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for — and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like I treat mine: with patience, affection, attention, and lots of love. 🐶🐱❤️ One of the biggest perks of having a work-from-home job with a highly flexible schedule is that I can make plenty of time for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💻 I have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitty needs a drop-in while you’re away, or your pets just need a little extra love and attention during the day, I’m happy to help whenever I can. I also understand firsthand how hard — and expensive — it can be to find reliable pet care. That’s actually one of the reasons I wanted to join Rover. For me, this isn’t just about making extra money. I genuinely love animals, and I love being able to help other pet parents have one less thing to worry about. Because of that, I’ve intentionally kept my rates a little more affordable than some sitters. I want great pet care to feel accessible, while still giving your pets the love, attention, and reliability they deserve. So while you’re busy, traveling, working, or just need an extra set of hands, I’m happy to be your pet’s person! 🐾❤️ Flexible schedule. Reliable care. Lots of love. And probably way too many pictures of your pets sent to you. When it comes to your pets, safety is always my number one priority. ❤️🐾 I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your animals, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m attentive to their surroundings, behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I always take the extra moment to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before caring for your pet, I want to understand the important details — their personality, routines, feeding instructions, medications if needed, things they may be nervous around, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. During walks and drop-ins, I stay present and attentive rather than treating the visit like something to quickly check off my list. I keep an eye out for potential hazards, make sure doors and gates are secure, follow leash and handling instructions, and never take unnecessary chances with your pet's safety. I also believe that every pet deserves individual care. Some pets need lots of exercise and play, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, or simply someone to sit with them and make them feel secure. I pay attention to those little details because they matter. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing that while your pets are in my care, they are receiving my full attention, patience, love, and care. Because at the end of the day, I’m not just caring for someone’s pet — I’m caring for someone’s family.

About: I’ve had multiple types of animals since I was a young kid. I’ve raised several litters of labradors, I had a horse ranch for 15 1/2 years, we had six dogs and six cats and 20 horses on the ranch. I had to train the dogs and my barn cat to be around horses, so they wouldn’t get kicked or stepped on. I am retired, so I am pretty flexible for morning visits or walking, also afternoon visits are walking. I can board at my house if needed, I have 5 acres, all fenced, so plenty of room to run if you’d like to bring your pups to the house. I have two very friendly dogs, also two different size crates if they’re needed.

About: I’ve had a very strong connection with dogs. I love being around dogs and will always have a connection to them. I love playing with them and lots of cuddles. I've always had dogs in my life from puppies to senior. I enjoy their company. I'm a housewife which gives me enough time to play with your pup and give the time they need. I'm available Sunday through Saturday. Also spend time with your cat or cats. For my client's I would take the pup outside to go potty and play with them then go inside to get their food and water ready for them. Also would take an early morning walk if needed. Plus play with them at the client's home. I'd clean litter boxes make sure your furry cat is fed & plenty of water.

“Lauren is so great! She is super easy to communicate with and my dog loves her. I trust her 100%!”

About: As someone who works from home, your pup will receive constant love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Aside from the occasional quick errand or appointment, your dog will rarely ever be left alone. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for over 19 years. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having company, so your pup will have both human attention and a built-in playmate if they enjoy being around other dogs. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. Your dog will have access to a large, fully fenced, secure outdoor area where they can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I truly treat every dog like family and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring, reliable hands while you’re away. Please let me know if your pup has ever been boarded. This is important as I’d love to make them as comfortable as I can. It is important that your pup gets along with others as I do have a dog of my own and also care for other pups as well!

About: Hi, my name is Emily! I’ve grown up owning both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like I would my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I enjoy babysitting and going to the gym, but outside of that my time is very open, allowing me to focus on walks, drop-ins, playtime, and quality care for your pets. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to stick closely to your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a calm home with my sister, her boyfriend, and another roommate, who are all firefighters and often gone for 24 hour shifts, so the house stays very quiet during the day. As a full time online student, I am home most of the time and able to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and consistent care. I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

“Jess has been a rockstar! I trust her to come out and give River a walk anytime. He’s always worn out and happy afterwards. She takes the time to make sure his water bowl is full after each walk too. Will definitely continue to book with Jess!”

Lindsey M.

“Kenna is always courteous and friendly yet very professional and on time. She took time to listen to our requests as well as was the first one who showed she really cares for animals and wanted Sasta to be comfortable with her. Our Sasta looks forward to her walks with Kenna.”
