About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little and owned several of my own as an adult. I have experience taking care of small and large dogs and a variety of breeds! I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, so during the week I am only available after 5pm. On the weekends, I have full availability to care for your fur babies! I will be sure to follow any guidelines or requests that you have to ensure your fur baby is well cared for and to be sure that you feel comfortable with them in my care.

About: I have taken care of family pets since a very young age. I have three- Effie, 7 (street rescue), Jelly 9, (relinquished) and Herbert, 2(catch and release program). Growing up I've cared for cats, dogs, mice, rats, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, turtles, and birds. I have plenty of experience feeding, watering, and playing with them, but also with administering medications and giving plenty of exercise and learning. I love all critters :) My availability is soon to change, but, I am highly reliable. Prior to Rover I worked as a restaurant manager and worked 50 hours a week. Now I'm open! I will come to you, and will take your fur baby on walks and play. Anything you need! I am changing jobs so my schedule is TBD.
“Elizabeth is fantastic with my dog! She makes sure he gets the time outside that he loves and also pays attention to his energy level as a senior dog and spends time with him as per his needs and preferences. Walking, sitting outside on the patio, and giving him all the snuggles. I feel confident my dog, Petie is getting all the TLC he deserves when Elizabeth is caring for him. Thank you, Elizabeth for giving me this peace of mind! Highly recommend!”

“Marisol was great. My dog was in great spirits when I got home from work which means I know he had fun with Marisol. She was great with quick communication. She came recommended to a friend and I would like to recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

“Hana helped out at short notice and it was very easy to arrange Baloo’s walking schedule. Communication was good and we will definitely use again. Highly recommend!”

About: First time booking on Rover? Get $20 off! Hi! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three Golden Retrievers, and they truly felt like part of the family. My most recent one recently passed after an illness, so opening my home to care for other dogs feels really special to me. I have experience caring for pets of friends and family, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, comfort, and a safe place to stay. My children also love having dogs around and are gentle and respectful, which helps create a warm, welcoming environment. We do have a Burmese cat in the home, but she has her own space and knows where to go if she prefers not to interact with dogs. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, plus a kiddie pool for those hot days. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will be treated like family here—with love, patience, and attention. I work part-time from home, so I’m able to give plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My children are homeschooled and home most of the time, creating a calm, family-centered environment. We do leave occasionally for errands, church, or family events, but your dog will still have a consistent, loving, and supervised home most of the day. I also provide overnight boarding, so your dog will be safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, and a calm, family environment with my two children who enjoy giving gentle attention and companionship. If a dog needs a little quiet time or separation, I do have an office space available. For dogs that require crating, I ask that you please provide your own crate so they can feel familiar and secure.
“Alex was such a thoughtful dog walker for my pup. He even offered to stay after the walk because my dog was being stubborn about his crate! Could not recommend enough!”


About: I’ve been an active Rover dog mom for over 5 years! My favorite past time is going to Mutt’s Cantina and interacting with all the sweet doggies! I love all dogs and have had four at one time previously! Currently, I have a chiwenie who loves visitors! I enjoy taking walks on the trinity with my pup and would love to take your doggie as well. I enjoy spending time walking, snuggling, and playing with your pup! I have a full-time job during the week, but have half day Fridays. I will be extra available on weekends to make your fur baby happy! I especially love doxies! I’m very responsible and if I take on your pup, they will be well cared for. I look forward to meeting and taking care of your special fur baby! Looking forward to spoiling your pup! Hey y’all, I do have a yard! I recently moved to Fairmont district, but having difficulty updating this app to reflect the yard portion. I’m currently the most available on the weekends! I will take longer stays pending owners comfort level of me having a full-time job. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly chill we need to keep your pup company. I can create your dog as needed pending potty training.
“Crystal was great! She was very accommodating, even though I reached out to her with very short notice. She kept me updated the whole time she took care of Daisy with pictures and videos. Highly recommend!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southside
Ashley was punctual, understanding, and someone I completely trusted walking my golden retrievers. Maya, my oldest, tends to be slow and tire out but I felt safe knowing Ashley could gauge her limits. By the end, both of my dogs were eager and excited to see her which made me feel that much better.

Robert is an excellent dog walker! He is very punctual and available very early in the morning and very often. I have used him several times in a row for several weeks to walk my dog! My dog seemed happy and well cared for! Would 100% recommend! If he can’t make a certain time he will also make a reasonable effort to communicate that to you and offer what time he is able to make it.
