“Amazing walker! Meghan took multiple pics and left comments about each walk, which made us feel comfortable and confident our boy was taken care of. Flexible with times and very kind. Will be working with Meghan from now on and would highly recommend.”

About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.

“Richard was great! He was very accommodating and I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my Enzo in his care. He was thoughtful and even brought in my packages for me. Will definitely use him again!”


About: I’ve walked dogs for friends and family and owned many animals that I cherish. I can walk you dogs, play with them, and cleanup any messes! I can work anytime of the day and can do nights as I have a flexible schedule can work short or long days and weekends! I can keep the home clean and do any tasks needed such as giving treats/food, clean up messes made and do any household tasks provided.

“Kathleen did a wonderful job. I felt so much at ease traveling for a full week knowing that she was giving my dog plenty of exercise and attention. My dog looked happy in the pictures Kathleen sent from every walk.”


About: I limit the number of pets so they get personalized love and attention. From shy senior cats to high-energy puppies, I have had and worked with all ages and needs. I provide frequent updates catered to the owner’s request. I like to build trust through consistence and long-term relationships so your pet sees a familiar face and is happy. I am retiring from teaching and will have a part time work-from-home job and will have plenty of time for love and cuddles with your pets. I walk several times a day so your dog (or walking cat), gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in covered patio so they get plenty of fresh air! Again, I walk several times a day, have a park at the end of my road, I have a fenced in patio and there is a dog park within walking distance of my home. If they ride well in a car, I will take them to a big park for walks and dog park socialization. I have had dogs since I was born and cats all of my adult life. I have watched many animals for friends, families, neighbors, etc. I have had rabbits, turtles, fish, iguanas as well. I have a special place in my heart for animals.


“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”


About: Because I couldn’t have a dog as a kid (allergies), I was delighted to have outgrown them in adulthood. I jumped all in to dog loving, education, and training beginning with my Miniature Schnoodle, “Sticker” in 2015. Sticker grew up to be a wonderful, well-balanced dog. Before I knew it, people were asking me who trained him. And that’s how I began training on the side from my profession in medical education. I limit myself to dog-walking these days, but whenever I need a walker, I’m more comfortable knowing my baby is in knowledgeable and caring hands. I look forward to adding additional joy to your pup’s life! I no longer have my own dog at home full-time, so I set aside time for walking others’. Loving on dogs is the best, and it keeps me exercising, unlike working at my desk! I don't host dogs at my home (except my own!). In your position, I’d look for someone reliable, kind (even when you’re not looking), and will instill good habits in your pet. (I can help!)

About: I have a track record of nurturing and training puppies, ensuring they grow up well-behaved and happy. Additionally, I have the compassion and expertise needed to provide specialized care for senior pets, making sure their unique needs are met with love and attention. I am a remote student and work part time so I have a lot of free time. I am available in the morning Monday and Wednesday, Tuesday anytime after noon, Friday all day, and then free on the weekends. I prioritize the comfort and well being of all pets. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and exercise routines, ensuring they have fresh water, and providing companionship and playtime. I'm also attentive to any special needs or medical requirements they may have.

“I truly cannot express how grateful I am to have Kayla as my Rover Rockstar! Kayla consistently goes above and beyond every booking with excellent communication, compassion, and service to our three pets. Kayla also takes the time to upload thoughtful, candid moments of our animals, making my anxiety of leaving non existent. I couldn’t recommend Kayla enough! 11/10!”


“Tessa was great! She walked my big bird with dachshund hound and the two were super sweet and got along great. I would absolutely use her in the future. She’s really great with communication and taking care of one of my most important girls in my life 🙂”

Cindy M.
“Cindy walks my puppy several times a week and she is fantastic! She is always so kind and gentle with her, and is helping her learn how to walk like the goodest girl. I have a couple rules - like using a gentle leader and staying away from the busy four lane road near us - and Cindy has always been respectful of them, which gives me so much peace of mind while they are out. I know I can trust Cindy to give her a safe, fun, and (hopefully!) tiring time. And judging by how happy my puppy always is to see her, I know she agrees!”
