Dog Walkers in Washington, IA

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

About: I love all animals! My retirement dream is to spend my days with dogs and cats. I decided why wait! I have cared for dogs and cats for over 30 years. I have always had my own pets, but I have also cared for friends, family, and neighbor's pets over the years as well. During the week and the school year I work with children. There is nothing I love more than coming home from a busy day and spending time with animals. During the day I have time over lunch for dog walks or pet care. After school hours, weekends, and summers are free to spend time with pets. In my home I have a lot of area for pets to roam and lounge around. I have a fenced yard and I enjoy walking the trails around my house with dogs. In your home I will follow your expectations for your pet. I will talk to them, play with them, and give them lots of love.

“Caitlin is as patient with animals as there is! Her heart always has their best interests in mind. She is not afraid to get on the floor and play with the dogs. She will make sure she makes the most of the time with your dog by jogging not just walking, if that is the energy level of your dog. She loves to give rubs and lots of loving! You won’t be sorry you hired her.”

“Sidney was fantastic with my dog. Super easy to communicate with and has been very flexible. Recommend without hesitation!”

“Fawn was wonderful with our pups. She spent extra time with our younger dog that has more energy than our senior dog. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I have been babysitting dogs and cats for almost 5 years now. I will take care of your fur babies and make them feel loved while you’re gone! I have two dogs, a corgi and boxer. I can do weekends Monday-Friday I work 8-5 but can let them out before I go to work and when I get home. Friday-Sunday I available pretty whenever needed if you need me to stay over night or just pop in and out to check in on them and let them out. I prefer if the pets are trained or there is a fenced in yard so I don’t have to worry about them running away. I will also be okay with if they need to be put on a Leash when going outside.

“Jenna is such a great person and absolutely loves animals. If you’re looking for someone to look after your pets as their own, look no further. Her dogs are so friendly and well mannered and my pups always enjoy their visit. I’m so thankful for Jenna and the care she provides my two dogs.”

“Oscar has done an excellent job in caring for our two cats and a our golden retriever with tenderness and love. We highly recommend him.”

About: Hello I'm Zoe and I love to be active and walk my own dog around the lake at home and thought it would be great to do it on my free time when I'm away from my own furry friend. I have dog sat for two years for family friends and have taken care of my own puppy for 4 years. I am flexible with times and days. During the year I am a full time student at the University of Iowa. I am friendly and patient with all pets and will follow instructions carefully. I would love to help out and take care of your pet as much as I can and am excited to have this opportunity through Rover. I hope to fulfill my services with the utmost respect for your pet and home.

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to Robert and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and service he provided. Robert is truly a dog lover! From the moment I reached out to Robert on Rover.com, his professionalism and prompt communication stood out. He was quick to respond to my inquiries, and we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for my dog's needs and personality. I appreciated his attention to detail and the genuine interest he showed in getting to know my dog's habits, preferences, and any specific instructions. Robert provided a safe and comfortable environment for my furry companion, treating my dog as if they were their own. Regular updates, including photos and videos, were sent to me, allowing me to see that my dog was happy and content while in their care. This level of communication brought peace of mind, especially when I had to be away from my pup for an extended period. He made sure my dog received plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to Robert for any future dog-sitting needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was just a little kid. I’ve always held a special place in my heart for dogs, along with small critters. Just recently I moved from Wisconsin, working at a humane society there where everyday I did all the basic care routines/evaluations for approximately 40 dogs. It was a blast, but I’d also love to slow down, and give 1 on 1 attention to the needs of each. I am currently a pretty free person, beginning my career of dog training, Bait’s Purpose: K-9. I plan my future around my dogs, and training. I care for pets however is requested by the owner(s), this just varies on what each dog is comfortable with. Dogs are in great care, however.

“Animal lover. Been around dogs her entire life. Has had varying sizes of dogs to take care of. Used to train dogs when growing up. Spoils dogs if allowed”

“Micaela W is very responsible, and dearly loves all animals, especially dogs. She is vigilant about care and safety of animals. She really does think of them as people, from what they should eat, potty breaks, exercise, to safe toys for them to play with. She's a dogs best friend.”
