Dog Walking Summit-University

“Garrett's terrific! My dog is not the easiest guy to walk, but he has really taken to Garrett and I couldn't be more pleased!!”

“Kelsey was great! Super prompt and effective communication. Took Daisy for a bunch of nice, long walks and did so on short notice. Would definitely recommend!”

“Helen did a wonderful job working with my senior pitbull’s quirky little personality, and habits. She also sent quite a few really nice photos, of Maya, through the Rover app. Thanks!”

Joyelle L.

“Molly did a wonderful job walking our pups while we were out of town! We appreciated how punctual and communicative she was, sending us lots of pictures each time she visited. We could tell she gave the dogs lots of TLC and was very attentive to each of their different needs (one dog is a young energetic pup and the other is much older and low key). We’d absolutely work with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Mags! 🐾 I’m looking for my wags’ Nurse 👩🏼‍⚕️ by day and an outdoor lover on my days off. I love walking, getting fresh air, and spending time with dogs. While I’m still growing my experience, I’ve enjoyed dog-sitting/walking for friends & family. I’m honest, dependable, and caring! Looking forward to meeting my new walking buddy 🐾 🐶 My days off are flexible and allow me plenty of time to enjoy walks & spend time with your pup! I am happy to coordinate a schedule or figure out something last minute to provide what is best needed for you & your pup! I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow me to host dogs, so I provide care in your home or take your pup on walks I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“SO glad we found Donna! So friendly, so great with our dog Sage, clearly knows her stuff…responsive, reliable, attentive to care instructions…all the good things! :) Thank you Donna for your great help - we appreciate you! 🐾”

About: I have experience with several long-term dog-sitting jobs, caring for dogs for multiple days and extended periods of time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including different shedding levels, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. I’m a genuine animal lover and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your furry friend is in good hands! If this is specifically for an over-night pup I would ask if it is possible to be accompanied by a friend that can also meet prior as it would make me more comfortable. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule! I only have one class a day during the week and work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 4–8 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, or just extra cuddles and company, I’m willing to help. I’m great at sticking to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets to feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while making sure they feel loved and cared for.

“Melissa was great! She connected with our dog, who looked forward to her arrival each day. was prompt and friendly. I will hire Melissa again without hesitation.”

About: I've owned a dog and/or a cat since I left college and once had 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children under age 6 in the same house! I worked for a pet sitting business in Virginia for two years and love to observe animals and get to know to know them on their terms. Experience matters with pets and I have that, combined with great communication and common sense. I'm the person you want watching your furry friends when you can't be there. I'm also a photography lover and I'm happy to work to get some good shots of your animals while taking care of them. I'm a semi-retired journalist who often works remotely, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. With my kids in college, my nest is empty except for my Pueto Rican chihuahua mix, Nina. We walk two or three times a day when the weather and my schedule permits. I'll care for your pets as if they were mine. I've owned multiple cats and dogs, from 8 pounds up to 90. If you have the patience and experience, almost every animal will give you clues on how they want to be treated.

“Annette was delightful. She asked good questions to get to know my dog Lady, left great feedback notes, and communicated regularly. I could tell Lady was happier when I got home. I would def recommend her as a walker!”

About: Hello! My name is Trish and I am starting my journey as a sitter with rover! I am a Wildland firefighter, therefor am gone a significant amount of time in summer, leading to me not being able to have animals of my own. However my dog loving nature has not diminished! Not having dogs of my own makes me able to walk/run/dog sit for others and am available for last minute requests as well. I have 2 years of dog sitting experience in my past, along with growing up around three dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. I love to exercise and taking dogs for long walks (or runs!) I would love to take your dog(s) on an adventure :) I’m currently back from the fire season and working part-time, so I have plenty of free time to play with pups! I am an avid runner and walker with myself and my partner and I’d love to take your pups on long walks or pet sit for you! Not having animals of my own currently makes me very free for last minute change of plans, dog sitting needs as well as holidays and weekends. I am available to come on short notice! I am very clean and professional at all times when either walking your dog or picking them up from your home, your pets safety is my top priority!

“Our new favorite walker! We are so happy with the personal attention our pup received. When we have to leave her alone for a whole day, it can be stressful to go on a walk with a whole group of dogs, like many services do. We appreciate the 1-1 walk and keeping our dog in a familiar environment. Maria G communicates about any questions or issues we should be aware of, and most of all I know she just loves caring for our dog. Really appreciate her service and special care. Thank you!”

Robert M.

“Lindsay did a great job of walking Gracie and her reliability and communication is spectacular! She was very detail oriented at our meet and greet answering all my neurotic pet owner questions along with helping me learn to navigate Rover. Gracie and I are looking forward to more walks with her!”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I enjoy being outside and getting exercise, and love four-legged companions to keep me going! I am patient and kind.

I can cater to each dog and cat based on their needs, wants, age, limitations, etc. I have yet to find an animal I don't love, and enjoy helping others and keeping costs low. I know boarding can get expensive, so hopefully I can alleviate some of the financial strain while keeping your pet happy!

I have worked at the vet clinic at the U for 9 years and volunteer and foster for a rescue that takes in senior cases. I am generally unavailable 8a-6p Tuesday through Friday (excluding holidays).
