“My dog Rosie, is a big, very strong and high energy Great Dane. Steve does a great job walking her, allowing her to explore and have fun while keeping her under safe control as well. Rosie loves her walks with Steve and even gets excited when she sees his car coming down our street ! Rosie and I will definitely be calling Steve again!”

“I am so grateful for the amazing care Caroline gave my dog! This was their first time meeting, and my dog absolutely loved her. Despite the tricky weather, she was incredibly patient, waiting for the rain to pass so she could still give my dog a proper walk. I truly appreciate how kind, sweet, and thoughtful she was throughout. I couldn’t be happier with my first experience on Rover .. we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!”

About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets (cats and dogs) for 9 years. I’m currently the proud human of a tabby cat and American Pit Bull Terrier. I have experience with kittens from newborn to senior. I have experience with young adult to senior dogs (no puppy care YET). I’m reliable, caring with just the right amount of silliness to keep your pets happy and safe. I’m happy to offer as much or as little attention as animals need. Having taken care of rescue pets, I’m mindful that pets are very sensitive to new people so I do my best to make them feel comfortable. I offer walks, feeding, baths, and playtime. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty if needed to retrieve a hard to reach ball or chase after a leash! Message me for your pet sitting needs! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for pet care. I am available daily, for overnight stays, and over the weekend. I am happy to follow my client’s safety instructions as they explain them to me. I personally don’t keep my pets in cages, but I’m happy to make adjustments as needed for the client.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I also used to take care of my friend’s dogs whenever they needed me. To me, those 4 paws babies are more than family, they’re angels on earth! I currently have a full-time job, but I am free the whole morning until 2:00 pm. My sister is home at 4:00 pm from work, so there is always a company in the house. I'm available for booking on weekends day/night so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. Extended Care after 8+hrs fee is $45 I can easily create your dog enough space to feel free and comfortable like home, take them for a walking while keeping them safe in a peaceful area.

I have a nervous nelly 60lb dog and had concerns on finding a local dog walker with the right energy to walk him in the very busy streets. I feel very much at peace knowing that my boy is being walked and and being socialized by Renee while I am at work. She built a lovely rapport with him and I am very grateful!!”

The entire interaction with Omar was smooth and rooted in care and communication. My dog immediately liked him and Omar went the extra mile to assure not only was Ty happy but how he could be helpful. Knowing my dog was in good hands is a weight lifted off of my shoulders. I’m looking forward to booking with him again and would urge anyone considering to not hesitate.

I had Taylor come walk our dog, Lola, and from the moment they met, Lola gravitated toward her. She immediately felt Taylor’s calm, kind energy , she’s soft-spoken, gentle, and very easy-going. By the time Taylor left, Lola was giving her hugs and kisses! It went so well that I booked her again the very next day for an earlier walk. Taylor was on time, super communicative, and Lola actually cried with excitement when she saw her again. We’re so happy to have potentially found our go-to dog walker!

Joseph was excellent. My dog is old and has arthritis. Joseph was not only punctual, he went the extra mile and cleaned areas where my dog had accidents. He made sure to give my dog his meds. By the second day, my dog looked forward to seeing Joseph. When they took their walks my dog had a spring in his step. I really trust Joseph with my dog and that means a lot!
