About: I have two dogs of my own and have previously worked as a dog-walker, so I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments in different environments. My schedule is open all summer! I do share a car with my brother, but that shouldn’t affect my availability too much. I have a few trips planned later in the summer. First and foremost, I always let the animal approach me first. This is important, especially for those more skittish, for building a relationship and making sure the animal is comfortable with me entering their space.

About: I have experience with puppies to adults. This experience includes potty training, house transport teaching new tricks, going for walks, playing fetch and administrating medication. As well as basic experience with cats. I’m available any day of the week from mornings to evenings. Temporarily only available weekends until June. I’m also available for most holidays. I will ensure that the rules you have in place for your pet and your home are followed. Building trust is important for you, your pet and myself.
“Carrin is excellent and my puppy Estrella took to her right away! Estrella behaves for her. I wanted to book more days but she told me she’s moving. ☹️. We will definitely miss her and wish her all the best 💗🙏”
“If you are looking for a friendly and reliable dog walker, Sara is your girl! Sara was a great communicator, always on time, and my dog loves her. I have a large dog with a lot of energy and Sara did a great job wearing him out on their walks.”
“Kyle came to pick up Flapjacks already prepared with treats for their walk. He was more than willing to use my clicker and provide treats to reinforce her training. He sent me lots of pictures of her on their walk and stopping to enjoy a stick. One half hour walk and she slept the rest of the afternoon and allowed me to work. I appreciated how friendly Kyle was and his willingness to continue my training with my pup on her walk. I would definitely recommend!”
About: I have 3 animals currently, and they have a wide range of needs. I am experienced with senior dogs (mine is 13 & I had a 15yr old), large dogs (I have a great dane), non-sociable dogs (mine are very picky about other dogs), and ones who need medications. I have experience with puppies as well. I am currently at home 24/7, so I am available any time needed for care! I will gladly come love on your pets and make sure they feel that their needs were met while you were gone! Give me the instructions, and I will follow it to a T! My 3 animals have a lot of specific instructions for being taken care of, so do not worry if you think you have a lot!
About: I absolutely love dogs and their safety is my main priority! I’ve had a fur baby in my family since I was nine years old so I have experience in caring and protecting your pup. I am an elementary school teacher (work Monday-Friday) and my husband works from home, so your pup will never be left alone or unattended during their stay. Family & friends have always counted on me to walk, feed, and or bathe their pups whenever they go out of town. If you’re traveling to/from Lovefield Airport, I live only a minute away so it’s a quick stop to drop off/pick up your pup🐶 I am an elementary school teacher so I only work weekdays from 7am-4:30pm. My husband works from home so your pup will not be left alone or unattended during their stay. I’m available for boarding all throughout the week and weekends. My schedule is super flexible and I am available during holiday breaks. I have a fenced front and backyard and I have a friendly, 6 year old shih tzu, Lenny, to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog as needed. I also have available bedding and toys for your pup to use during their stay.
“Erin was such a great help when I needed the last minute sitter. She was very diligent about her care, and I knew that my baby was well taken care of with her.”
About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With a lifetime of experience and a natural connection with animals, I provide reliable and compassionate care. I adore dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Long walks, belly rubs, enrichment play, calm companionship. I’m attentive to details, respectful of routines. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog, loving, and dependable care every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve intentionally created a schedule that allows me to be fully present. I’m lucky to have both the time and the flexibility it takes to truly dedicate myself to your pet. With a generous schedule, I’m also available on weekends and holidays to ensure your pet is always cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. From feeding and walks to playtime and quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 7 years. From my own dog to dogs from my local dog park I have walked many breeds and sizes and love all dogs. I am still a student at HPHS, but I have lunch and an off period so I am often free during the day! I am also frequently free on weekends between soccer games. I love to play with dogs and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I always make sure they are loved on a lot.
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have frequently cared for those of my friends and family members, including young pets. Coming from healthcare also gives me unique experience in caring for others and knowing how to manage health complications. My fiance and I have cared for his own cat who requires insulin for diabetes. I am a work from home professional with a log of flexibility within my schedule to support you. My fiance also has a hybrid role. I have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I am able to walk pets of all sizes and care for them inside the home, whether it is crated or outside a crate. I have also raised pets with access to a backyard and deep pool so am comfortable maintaining pet safety both indoors and outdoors. Being a dietitian, I am knowledgeable with nutrition and food when it comes to pets and humans if needed!
About: I have a huge heart for pets! I want to be able to help your dog have the best time and be taken care of. I have been around dogs and cats for years. I have a medium sized dog of my own who is an Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever mix! He is very friendly and loves meetings new dogs and people. I have a fenced in dog park at my apartment which I bring my own pup to at least once a day. We also like to go on walks around the neighborhood. I live in a very pet friendly apartment complex. I think it’s so important that pets are treated like family and that’s what I want to do for your dog: treat them like family and care for them. I work from home, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily stop by for walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. If your pet needs extra company, I can even bring my laptop and work from your house to keep them comfortable and cared for for hours. Whether they need a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and are happy while you are away!

University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thanks so much, Eboni, for taking such good care of Teddy. He loves being with you, and was always at the door with a happy tail wag waiting for you. I was very impressed at how you were able to manage him, given that he's a big guy (85 lbs, will be two in a few weeks) and very friendly with other dogs and children. I was not surprised when you told me you wanted to base your career on working with dogs. You're a natural, and I'm sure you'll be a great success in that field. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you!
Abbie is fantastic! I have two senior dogs, a German shepherd mix and a Chihuahua mix, both are challenging to walk and Abbie does a great job with both. The other day she helped me get one of my dogs to the vet who was feeling sick. Totally outside of what she is responsible for and I really appreciated the extra help.
Ashlyn was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive to all of his needs. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. She kept me updated and made sure Benny was happy and well cared for the entire time. You can truly tell she loves animals! I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker/sitter!
