Olivia was so great with Maverick! I booked for 4 walks and she was prompt and every walk was a good 30min which is perfect for my dog. She sent updates and communicated well. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future

About: I love dedicating time to pets giving them care, love and fun time. I want to give them the comfort of a warm, attentive and loving presence. I am a stay-at-home student and among other personal activities, I am able to dedicate myself full-time to this service both weekdays and weekends, day and night. I live with my husband and my 14-year-old stepson and we are all pet lovers! Although we may all enjoy the companionship of your pet(s), you can have peace of mind that pet(s) will be cared for 100% by me! I live in an apartment building with lots of comfortable space, safe, with windows screens. There is a dog park in the premises, there are many trails around that we can walk and have fun. Our view is to a beautiful green area where many birds come around to hang out and sing.

About: I have experience with multiple dog breeds of all ages and sizes. I grew up with dogs and have had two of my own. I would love the chance to meet your dog and give it the love and care it deserves! I am currently working part time so I’m available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. My hours on those days would be 7am-7pm so I am pretty open and flexible on being available. I provide pets with loving attentive care. I keep their routines consistent, ensuring fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, clean spaces, and plenty of affection and safety.

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

This is the second time Karly has been our walker for Bella. The first time was a 5 week hire while we were out of town. The second time was a short notice two day walker stint. Always punctual through both terms, and always caring. We felt very comfortable knowing Karly was watching our Senior Labrador Bella. Bella loved it too!

Traci was absolutely amazing to my sweet Penny. She even bought her a little skateboard to teach my bulldog how to skate since they are known to be great at it. Penny adored her and will use Traci for every Rover walk when needed. She’s prompt and committed to walking on time and very consistent. We love Traci!!

Aleasha is amazing! Our pup Nila gets so excited every time she sees her. She is great at communication and very reliable. Aleasha has always done an incredible job of watching to any cues if something is making her nervous and letting Nila show what she is comfortable with and what she is interested in. Nila always comes home happy and ready for a nap.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9. I’ve owned a small teddy bear dog who is turning 8 this year. I also have dogsat for my neighbors with dogs of all sizes, from Shih Tzus to Bernese Mountain dogs. My schedule is very flexible during summer. I am almost always available to take dogs on a walk or take them out, but stay at home visits take a bit more scheduling. I will crate your dog or let them roam free depending on your preference. I can also prepare wet or dry food for your pets meal times as well as take them on routinely walks during their scheduled time.
