“James is awesome! He is very reliable, always on time, and is very kind to my dog. He has been walking my dog daily and it has helped get my dog the exercise he needs in the morning.”
“Alexa handles my 85 pound, temperamental, mastiff mix like a champ. She is a great communicator, follows directions and always gives plenty of feedback for each walk. Sadie, is always waiting eagerly in the window for their weekly walks.”
“Estefania was wonderful. She always arrived punctually and took Mr. Bean for his full walk and gave me feedback about it. She asked questions when needed since she was new to us, and showed affection towards Mr. Bean, who absolutely loved her. I am so glad to have met her and will definitely be using her again in the future if she agrees.”
“Jessica's has been great with Angie! Angie is not always the quickest to warm up, but Jessica has made it easy to transition her weekly walks. She's reliable, very friendly, and clearly loves our dog! I can't recommend Jessica more.”
“Gina is very kind and patient with our anxious dog. She even helped me administer his insulin shots a couple times. Good communication. I always knew exactly when she would be arriving.”
“Took our pups on a great walk! My older pup can struggle in heat, and she watched for his queues and brought him home when he asked and kept cruising with our younger pup! (We had chatted about this before hand, so she knew that we wanted her to take him home early if needed). Great communication and right on time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Tamara is amazing. Our dog Luna loves her walks with her. We know she is in good hands. I would recommend Tamara to anyone that has a dog and wants to know your baby is taking care of.”
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I am a previous employee at an animal hospital as well. I have had 10 dogs! I am experienced with dogs of all sizes. I currently own a Chesapeake Bay retriever, a shipoo, a shitzu/Maltese mix, a mini maltipoo, a mini aussiepoo, and a Pomeranian! I am confident that your dog will be safe with me! I am flexible with my availability. Being a dog owner is amazing and I couldn’t live without one. Dogs are a 24/7 companion. I take my dog to the park everyday and run her around for at least 25 minutes each time. She always naps for hours afterwards. I’d love to get to know your pet! I recently quit my corporate job because the corporate life is rough, so coming back to rover after a few years of being too busy for life! I recently quit my job, so I am free as a be I have my own dogs to take care of, but there is always time for others as well. Always have my eyes on them and make sure there is nothing that they can get into that would be dangerous. Chances are we’ll be playing the entire time!
“Caroline was great with our dog, was gentle and kind with him, took him on a nice long walk, and provided a great summary write up with pictures after the visit. We would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years — including my own sweet senior German Shepherd, who’s been my loyal companion since she was a pup. I’m comfortable with small, medium to large breeds and well-mannered giants, and I have experience with daily meds, senior care, and reinforcing basic commands. I believe patience, consistency, and love go a long way with any dog. Whether your pup needs a potty break, a solid walk, or just some company and belly rubs, I’ve got you covered. My schedule is currently flexible, and I’m only offering drop-ins and walks so I can give your pet my full attention. I treat every dog like family — because they deserve nothing less. I recently moved back from Denver and currently have full availability for dog drop-ins and walks. Since I’m not juggling another job, I’m flexible for weekdays, weekends, and even last-minute bookings. Your pup gets my full attention every time — whether it’s a quick potty break or some mid-day company and exercise. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your dog — they’re family. I’ve had my sweet German Shepherd for 12 years, and through every stage, I’ve learned that what dogs need most is patience, routine, and kindness. Whether it’s giving medication, following your exact instructions, or just making sure they feel safe while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I’ll treat your home and your pup with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Thank you Rocio for allowing our nervous dog to show you his playful side. You gained his trust right away. We loved all the updates and communication throughout your services. You gave us complete reassurance that our pet babies were in great hands. You showed great dedication and went above and beyond by doing other tasks around the house to care for our kiddos. We would be so pleased to continue to work with you soon.”
“Isabell has been walking our puppy for almost two months on a weekly basis. She is always on time, reliable, and gives the most thorough updates every time she sees our puppy. Our puppy loves her and this is easily seen with the pictures we receive. I would HIGHLY recommend Isabell with your pets.”
