Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!

Jen was absolutely fantastic! She was professional, was clearly knowledgeable about puppy behavior and always managed to tire Toby out and making sure he went to the bathroom so I didn’t have to worry.

Jing is fantastic! I contacted her at the last minute looking for a dog walker for my puppy as my current walker is on vacation. Jing responded immediately and scheduled a meet & greet. My puppy absolutely loved her. Jing communicated with me throughout the walk and sent pictures too. She put my mind at ease while I was at work because I knew my puppy was being taken care of and having a great time! I highly recommend Jing. She’s reliable, efficient, and trustworthy. I will continue to work with her in the future!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, my house wouldn’t be a home without our pups, they are very well loved & couldn’t imagine our lives without dogs! Specialize in big dogs! Have had Mastiff’s 24+ years! I’m currently a stay @ home mom looking to make some extra money while my kids are in school & I love animals so I figured it’d be a great way to make some money! I can walk your dog to the park or around the block, also if your pet had any special needs I’d be more than happy to help out with that as well!!

About: I’ve taken care of my black lab with my family for the past three years. She recently passed away at 11 years old in February, and I’ve missed her every second. Through Rover, I’m hoping to share the love I held with her with other dogs of all ages and sizes! I’m working part time before I start medical school in August, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I live at home with family, who are also very experienced with pets. We have a fenced-in yard and live next to a park that’s great for walks!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and helping them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship for your pets. I work hard to provide your pets with comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was 7 years old when my family got a puppy who we raised and loved for 11 years. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and watch their dogs and cats while they’re away. I genuinely love dogs of every size and personality, and I treat every pet like they’re my own with lots of attention and care I work full-time during the week, but I’m available most evenings after work for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m fully available all day on weekends and have added flexibility on Fridays, making it easy to accommodate longer stays or last-minute needs. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I closely follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have had pets all of my life. I am a teacher so I am used to schedules, responsibilities, and caring for others with a high level of care. Our pets deserve to have the same love and care that they give to us! I am a teacher but will have plenty of availability in the summer months. I have early mornings, afternoons, and weekends otherwise during the school year. I am able to care for your pet in your home. I am happy to follow any necessary food, walking, and play schedules that work best for your pet and your family.

Cheryl and Elmar took such great care of our dog Peanut! They were even able to accommodate us when we needed emergency doggy care on short notice after our flights were canceled - we are so grateful! Peanut also had so much fun on his walks with them, he was so excited and waited by the door for them! Highly highly recommend!

About: I have experience with high-energy dogs like doodles, as I have one of my own. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, so I’m able to keep dogs well exercised and engaged. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. For the month of May, I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays, and from 8 AM to 3 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Starting June 1, I will be working a full-time internship and will be available on weekdays from 6 PM to 10 PM, and on weekends from 9 AM to 3 PM. I care for pets in their own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise based on their energy level, while always keeping them securely leashed and monitored. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and any specific routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, whether they’re high-energy and need longer walks or more relaxed and prefer a slower pace. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I always provide updates so owners know their pet is doing well.

Bryndon responded immediately when I reached out about his availability to walk my dog. He sent a message the day prior to reconfirm our scheduled appointment. He arrived early and made an immediate connection with our yellow labrador. He's been walking her this week & she is loving him. He has a calm cool demeanor but directive with her when he needs to be. Thrilled to have Bryndon walking her on a weekly basis & knowing we can depend upon him!

Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.

Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!
