About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of dogs of all kinds. I treat every pup as if they were my own — with patience, care, and attention to their unique needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident et care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I love starting and ending my days with walks, playtime, and cuddles! I plan my schedule around the pets I care for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection — whether it’s daily walks or regular visits throughout the week When I walk dogs, I focus on giving them a fun, safe, and relaxing experience. I follow their normal walking routine and pace — whether they like slow sniff walks or energetic adventures. I always make sure they have fresh water, feel comfortable, and return home happy and tired.
“Alexandra was a lifesaver and accepted my booking last minute! She was very patient with my dog who although very friendly, can be pretty shy at first. She was very communicative and I can tell by the updates/photos she sent that my dog was super happy :) I’ll definitely be rebooking with Alexandra regularly!”
“Cie did a great job with our dogs! We received a lot of great updates and clear communication, letting us know our pets were taken care of during their walk. We even got a ton of cute pictures and videos. Thank you, Cie for taking care of our dogs!”
“Twinkle was absolutely wonderful with our dog. She can be a bit hesitant with new people and other dogs. Twinkle was very patient and caring with our old girl. And gave detailed review cards. Will definitely be reaching out in the future for any other trips!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 16 years, from playful puppies to older cats who just want some quiet company. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for them. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because animals are such a big part of my life. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of free time to devote to your pets, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give them my full attention and care, making sure they feel loved and never rushed! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I keep a calm and cozy environment where your pet can relax and feel at home. I’m careful on walks, always keep leashes secure, and pay close attention to their comfort and mood. Building trust with pets (and their people!) means everything to me, and I always go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels at ease.

“My pets loved Erica immediately -she is amazing at what she does! She's very kind and friendly, and our initial meet and greet felt more like a visit from a friend. She sent me a picture from the walk with my dog, as well as a detailed report card. Happy to have her help whenever possible!”
“Julia is awesome! Extremely reliable and even helps us out with last minute requests. Love not having to worry if my dog is getting enough exercise and attention when he’s with Julia.”

Walnut Village dog parents share their Rover experiences
She did a meet and greet with my dogs, which I really appreciate because one of them is super reactive! She addressed my concerns and learned our commands which made me feel comfortable! She also took a bunch of photos of them and updated me before and after their walk. She also texted me to ask their bathroom schedule, just to make sure they didn't need to go #2.
Kayleigh is such a sweet, kindhearted, and dependable dog walker. My dogs absolutely light up and go crazy with excitement whenever they see her. She walks both of them five days a week, and I always know they are in the best hands. I can’t recommend Kayleigh highly enough!
Christine was nothing short of amazing. She assisted me on short notice with my dogs after a cancellation. She tended to my dogs like her own and asked if my dogs needed to be fed or anything extra was needed. She truly went above and beyond and made my stressful situation less stressful.
