He's super reliable, always showing up right on time for each walk, which makes my life so much easier. Plus, I loved the constant updates and pics he sent me during their walks— Markus always looks so happy! Honestly, I totally recommend Tyler if you need a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

About: Hey! Growing up, I've always had a passion for caring for dogs, and my experience includes taking care of a variety of breeds, from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Beagles, Dachshunds, Poodles, and Australian Shepherds. Now, I’m a proud fur mom to my Frenchie! I genuinely love spending time with pups and promise to treat your dog just like my own. I will keep you updated throughout their stay, so you won't have to worry. If your dog has any medical conditions or needs special accommodations, just let me know, and I'll make sure they receive the best care possible. I’m dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment, ensuring every dog feels secure. If you are wanting the daycare or boarding service, then I would love to do a meet and greet with the dogs! If you have questions, please feel free to ask! I’m available on weekends starting Friday night for boarding, daycare, and dog walks as well as drop in visits to ensure your pup is able to stretch their legs. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex surrounded with plenty of grass. I also live near many parks and would love to take your dog out to one of them.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs including puppies & seniors, since I was a kid. I started by helping out with friends & families dogs, and I love that I can now help more people and meet more fur babies by using rover! I work part time hours & fully from home, so I’m very flexible with taking care of your fur baby and all their needs no matter the time of day. I’m available evenings and weekends too! I have a fenced spacious yard & my neighborhood has a big dog park close by and I have a chihuahua and a small cat who get along great w others to hang out with your pet while they are in my care. I can crate your pet if needed, but I’ll primarily be home with them.

“Alicia was very flexible and understanding! She had great communication, fast reply times, and sent a lot of cute pictures! Even though we just hired her to walk Bella she showed our cat love as well. We would definitely trust her with the care of both our girls again in the future!”


11. Shawnna S.
“Shawnna took care of my darling Doberman, "Dogmatic" for 2 weeks while I vacationed in Costa Rica. She sent me photos regularly, reassuring me that Dogmatic was happy and healthy. When i returned and went to pick my dear doggie up, she was not only happy to see me, but also sad to leave Shawnna and her fun, furry sidekick, Amos. I highly recommend Shawnna and Amos!”
