About: I’ve raised my own dogs since I was 8. I took on all the responsibilities I could’ve, and still continue to today. Neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs while they’re away while i’ve grown up. I’ve gone through two rounds of dog training classes with my dog, and plan on going into a third very shortly, so I’m very familiar with doggy manners! I just graduated high school and only have work two days a week, so I have a ton of free time! I’d love to help out where it’s needed, especially if it’s with pets! I have a one year old girl I make sure is very well taken care of. She gets walked and played with all throughout the day, and i’d be more than happy to do the same with your dog(s)! Mine is potty, crate, and leash trained, so i’m very familiar with any protocols you might have in place. I’m comfortable staying in with your dog, or taking them to socialize, whatever they need!
“Maddy was once again wonderful. Always communicating with me well and going above and beyond to help when my pups when she was sick! Will definitely book again in future :)”

“Britney has been walking my senior dog for us, and has done a wonderful job. I have peace of mind knowing she is timely, attentive, and cares about Miley. Her communication is also outstanding. Highly recommend her services to anyone!”
About: I have animal behavior studies, and I’ve been a groomer for almost a year I’ve learned to handle big and small dogs with care and patience. I have worked with seniors and dogs with health problems. I’ve babysat dogs for family and friends. I have 3 pets I take care of at home. I have great experience with dogs. I grew up with them tons of different animals. I feed them on a scheduled time. I feed them based on weight and preference of the owners or veterinarians experience. I walk or take them outside on a schedule they are used to.
About: I spent most of my life being called a hippie, tree hugger, and even nature-lover. The funny thing about each one of these names is that they are extremely empowering if you understanding the mission and goals that I have set for myself in reference to the environment. I pride myself on ensuring the safety and the well-being of the environment while protecting people as part of the natural environment. I am a recent graduate of Cornell university where I was pre-vet. I am currently working for the national wildlife federation where I focus on water conservation for exotic and local species.

Whether it’s in your home or mine, I treat pets like family—sticking to their routines, serving up belly rubs, fun walks, tasty meals, and plenty of cozy downtime.

West Gate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Deitra and David have been outstanding to work with. Our senior dog needs walks during the day while we are at work, and they have been able to come take her out. It’s been a huge relief to us to have kind, caring, and responsive dog walkers. Very grateful for their help and care of our Miley! Highly recommend!
Hanna was great to work with! She was super responsive, friendly and professional. She met with us for a meet and greet prior to our scheduled walk and was very accomplished to our specific needs for our dog. We quickly felt like we could trust that our Koda was in good hands. Would definitely book again in the future!
