About: I volunteer for an animal rescue. I have fostered puppies and participated in their adoption process. I have cared for babies all the way up to seniors. Both dogs and cats. While I do have fur babies of my own, I will not bring them around yours unless they have already been introduced. This is my full-time job so I'm available to take care of your fur baby whenever you need me. I would love to meet them and play! My yard is fenced in and almost half an acre so there is plenty of room for dogs to run around. I also have a side-by-side doggy duplex if your dog wants to have some "me time" and still be outside.

“Nathan was absolutely fantastic. We did two meet and greets with him because our dog Sam is special. Nathan was willing to invest the time to earn Sam’s trust which meant a lot to us. We were gone for 7 days and the weather was brutally cold. Nathan was prompt to come take the dogs on their walk each day and endure the 2 degree temps. We highly recommend Nathan as a dog walker and will definitely use him again. Thank you so much Nathan!”

Big back yard and have an extra room for pets including toys and mattress etc. My dog is my son without tax breaks so he sleeps in the bed with me mostly. I don’t mind if dogs are on furniture etc. If this is against your home rules, I have no problem keeping them off if needed. Food, walks, naps, play time and repeat.

Crystal C.
“Crystal is the only person I trust with our pups! I have pups that have specific feeding and meds they need, I know they are being taken care of properly and I get updates and pictures daily. I have one pup who does not warm up to people very often and loves Crystal. Vacations are so much more enjoyable knowing that my pups are well taken care of and, although happy to see us when we get home, they are not stresses and got spoiled while we were gone. Highly recommend!”

Kaeley B.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars! Kaeley was absolutely amazing! She watched my dog for 9 days (originally scheduled for 8), and was incredibly flexible and understanding when some last-minute things came up. I’m so grateful she was able to keep him that extra day—it really helped me out. Before his stay, my dog was super hyper, but when he came back home, he was noticeably calmer and more balanced. I truly believe Henry (Kaeley’s dog) had a positive impact on him. Being an only child, it was so good for him to have a buddy to play with—and I could tell he really enjoyed it! I can’t thank Kaeley enough for the love, care, and patience she gave my pup. She’s wonderful, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you again, Kaeley! 🐶💛”

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Ruskin Heights.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services.
