“Jasie was the perfect dog walker when I sprained my ankle and couldn't walk my pup. She braved the pouring rain to take my little guy out for much needed exercise. Communication was great”
About: I'm a software engineer working from home looking to break up my day with some exercise. You will find me to be reliable and communicative. I love dogs. I adopted Wally from shelter 10 years ago, and he's been getting 10k steps a day ever since. I frequently care for friends' dogs, and would love to help yours get out more. I'm a freelance software engineer with control over my schedule and a very predictable routine. I can accommodate walks almost any time during the day with a little notice. I live in an apartment in SLU with a very high energy beagle. I know how to keep him stimulated and and well exercised. We know all the parks and neighborhoods nearby and where to get a drink of water on a hot day.
About: Hi! I’m the mom of the sweetest 3yo Yorkie-Poo who loves meeting new dogs. WFH so available for doggie daycare and boarding. Great with training commands, tricks and potty training if needed. Crate space also provided if necessary. Available for doggie daycare and boarding. Drop-in and Dog walking option if in the Westlake area. I work from home most days so can provide 24 hour sitting. Plenty of dog toys for play time. No yard but quick access to outside for walking and potty breaks I can easily crate if necessary.
“I wasn't able to go through with the boarding due to last minute change of plans and Ponyo was great with refunding what I had paid and making follow up calls to ensure that I had everything covered. Even before the boarding dates, Ponyo did a few introduction meetings with my dog to learn his behaviors and what kind of care would be right for him. I could tell that Ponyo was very experienced with dogs and had a great attention for detail when working with dogs”
“I booked Elizabeth to walk my dog while I was away on a work trip, and she was fantastic! She suggested a meet-and-greet beforehand, which I really appreciated. Throughout the process, she was attentive, communicative, and very friendly. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. I’d definitely book her again and recommend her!”
“Eleanor was wonderful. She always gave my dog a really good walk and took excellent care of her. And my dog adores her - always a good thing. We would definitely use her again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, from energetic, high-maintenance breeds like huskies to senior cats who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I adapt my care to meet those individual needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy dog’s exercise needs or providing calm, patient companionship to older pets, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and loving environment while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, loving care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’m able to give them lots of attention and companionship. I also offer boarding, so your pet can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a home environment while you’re away! Creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always prioritize supervision, patience, and positive interactions. I also provide regular updates and communication so pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
“This is the second time we have used Akiko and for a second time she has exceeded our expectations. At the risk of making her too popular, at least amongst discerning pet parents, I cannot recommend Akiko more highly. She is a delight to work with, a delight to communicate with and the dogs are always improved when we return. That is impressive in itself because our dogs are practically perfect in every way already. ;-) In a nutshell: you would be very fortunate to book Akiko for dog walking or house sitting. Very fortunate indeed.”
“Mikayla had some great walks with Remy - nice to know she has a big dog herself and so was comfortable with our (sometimes impolitely leash-pulling) Great Dane. She also communicated well about logistics. Clearly cared about making sure Remy had a fun time! :)”
About: What sets me apart is my 22 years of hands-on, real-life experience caring for dogs as part of my own family. I spent 15 years raising and caring for my childhood Boxer from puppyhood through senior years, which gave me deep experience with training, exercise needs, and age-related care. For the past 8 years, I’ve been a dedicated French Bulldog owner, giving me breed-specific knowledge around brachycephalic breathing considerations, temperature sensitivity, skin care, and routine health monitoring. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s individual needs and behavior, whether that means reinforcing good manners with puppies, providing calm and patient care for senior dogs, or simply making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I care for them as if they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, as I have open availability and intentionally structure my schedule around the needs of the dogs I’m caring for. This allows me to be flexible with walks, feedings, playtime, medication schedules, and extended companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being fully present and attentive, whether that means early mornings, evenings, weekends, or longer stays, ensuring each dog receives consistent care, routine, and attention. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I closely follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions to maintain consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, ensuring regular walks, playtime, companionship, and light pet-related home care as needed. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment with structured routines, close supervision, and plenty of affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, safety, and overall well-being.
About: I may no longer have any pets of my own, so let me show yours some love! I was raised with several family dogs that I independently took care of as early as 6 years old. I excel in comforting older dogs and cats, as I cared for my own senior dogs through to the end of their lives. I have experience caring for all types of pets - including guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, snakes, turtles, and birds! I'm a recent graduate searching for full-time opportunities. In the meantime, my schedule is completely flexible, meaning I can make my whole day all about your pet! I know first-hand how stressful traveling can be on pets. I love getting to know a pet and their creature comforts before this stress presents - from their favorite spot to stop and sniff on a walk, to the most motivational treats, and even their bedtime.
“We are so lucky to have found Biancana on Rover! She was amazing and so sweet with our Clancy. She texted us upon her arrival and departure and texted pictures during their outdoor walk adventure. She is sweet, caring and very attentative to our needs/desires for our dog. We will most surely be using her again and recommend her as an A++++ for your needs! We simply can’t thank you enough, Biancana! ~ Clancy, Anna and Grant”
Westlake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rebekah was great with Murphy! She kept me updated after every walk and always left thoughtful notes. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and Murphy seemed to have a great time. I really appreciated her reliability and communication. I'd definitely book with her again!
We cannot recommend Grace highly enough. From the very beginning, she exceeded our expectations in the care she provided for our dog, Maggie. In addition to offering exceptional care, Grace was instrumental in helping us address Maggie’s training needs and anxiety. She took the time to understand Maggie’s unique personality, provided thoughtful guidance, and shared practical strategies that helped Maggie become more comfortable and confident when left home alone. The progress we saw was truly remarkable. What impressed us most was the genuine bond Grace developed with Maggie. Every time Maggie saw her, she would light up with excitement—wagging her tail, wiggling with happiness, and eagerly anticipating their time together. As pet owners, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your dog feels safe, happy, and loved in someone else’s care. Grace’s dedication goes far beyond day-to-day pet sitting. She is deeply invested in the well-being of the dogs she works with and consistently demonstrates professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Thanks to her influence, Maggie is happier, more confident, and better behaved. We are incredibly grateful for everything Grace has done and would wholeheartedly trust her with Maggie again.
Responded to a last-minute request and really helped me out. Levi was great with my dog, Argos, and made the whole experience stress-free. Communication was excellent; I felt confident that Argos was in good hands and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!
Im truly SO grateful for Ana (and I know my dog is too). She’s been walking my dog for the past week while I’ve been in training for my new job. She truly stands out from other dog walkers I’ve worked with (and I’ve worked with quite a few!). She is incredibly reliable, communicative, kind, flexible, and hard working. I feel so good knowing she’s coming to get my girl every day! Also - huge bonus - the photos she sends of my dog are so STINKY CUTE!!!
Kyla is the best walker I’ve ever had. I trust her fully with my puppy. She is attentive, communicative and flexible. She personally assessed my dog’s pain level in the days following an injury and adjusted his activity level to match, carrying him to the park for training games one day and taking him on a bus trip the next (which is great socialization). To top it off, she takes adorable photos during every walk which never cease to brighten my day.
I love Madison, as a trainer and dog walker! She's my go-to for care for my puppy. She's kind, professional, communicative, and balances the needs of the dogs she works with the concerns/challenges that us pet parents carry. My puppy is a challenge (high energy, reactive) and Madison really knows how to work with her. I can't recommend her enough.
