Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.

We couldn’t recommend Katrina more! Not only did our dog love her, she was great at communication and always let us know if there was anything she noticed or was concerned about while she walked and checked in on Nutmeg. It was a relief to know that she was in good hands while we were at work.

Alexis helped us out with dog walking while we were out of town and our dog was staying with a relative. She was prompt and gave our dog quality outdoor time, allowing for his advanced age. I would definitely use Alexis again.

About: I absolutely love dogs, I have two who are my babies!! I have some experience training them but not a ton, other than that I just am excited to hang out with dogs :) I am currently between jobs and open to helping out anytime! open to hanging out with your dog in the day/walks/feeding and more, as well as overnights. I am happy to take your dog on many walks, play with them outside, take them to parks, or just hang out with them! Whatever needs they have I am happy to do for them!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, with hands-on experience raising four cats and helping my dog recover from CCL surgery—along with potty training her as a puppy. I also volunteer as a dog walker at Wright Way Rescue, working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, energetic, and a true animal lover! I am a student saving for college. During the summer I am free all week-ends and weekdays. I work part-time at a restaurant no more than 3 days a week. My shifts are usually at night and last about 5 hours. I’m happy to wake up early or come over late if need be. I’ll follow your pet routines as closely as possible with your provided instructions. I’m punctual and communicative with clients, as well as respectful of your time. I know not all animals are comfortable with strangers so I will follow their lead and give them as much love or space as they’d like. I can preform any animal upkeep such as bathes, paw-wiping, and litter cleaning. Additionally, I’ll send lots of photos of photos of your fur-baby.

Trisha was an absolute dream. My precious dog walker fell through and Trisha helped immediately. What I especially love is that she cared for my furry goober the way I would. She was loving and kind with him, sharing pup-dates and photos, and giving him scritches while the family was gone. Just an absolute joy to have with my pup—even when he saw squirrels and lost his mind 😂 She filled up doggo food and water, and went literally above and beyond all that was required of her. I cannot emphasize enough what a positive experience she made out of what was sheer panic. I am forever indebted and give her 6/5 stars. 🙏 thank you to the moon, Trisha!

About: Hi! I will treat your fur babies as my own! I have had pets in my home since I was 6 years old and they were my sole responsibility. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am able to administer medications on a timely manner and will always send plenty of photos while in my care. I have shared custody of Cocoa if you prefer a household without pets I can accommodate. Thank you! I have no current other obligations than the pets in my home. I rarely leave doggies unattended and have a large fenced in backyard. My kids are grown and at college. I have a sweet senior female cockapoo who loves the company of other fur babies. She and I love to go on walks but when the weather is bad we can pop outside for a quick potty break.

Donna and Stephen have truly been lifesavers over the past few weeks. They are incredibly timely and dependable, and they are always willing to help when they can. I also LOVE receiving multiple photos of my pup enjoying the walk so I know how happy he is to be out with them. Would strongly recommend this wonderful team to walk your furry friend!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I wouldn’t have it any other way! After growing up with two cats, I now live with a noisy but very loveable chihuahua. Since I was in middle school I have been caring for dogs, cats, and even turtles! I’ve walked dogs of all sizes and cared for multiple at once. Getting to show your pet some love would be a highlight of my day and a highlight of theirs as well! I’m currently a rising Junior at Mizzou looking to spend time with animals while home for summer break! I have a light and flexible schedule along with my own reliable transportation! I care for your cat the way you want me to! Most importantly I want them to be comfortable with me! I don’t try to push boundaries and am great at picking up their queues.

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was little. The best memories I have as a kid are going to Wisconsin Dells to visit puppies. I begged my parents for a dog for years until they finally gave in and we got a Cocker Spaniel, Snoopy. We have had our own dogs now, two cavachons, Lucy and Ricky, for 5 years. My entire family treats their pets like family. My husband and I are lucky enough to work from home daily. We have time to walk and interact with the dogs pretty much all day. Someone is always home. I have a decent sized fenced in yard. My dogs are very friendly and they are allowed free access to all the house and furniture. We also have plenty of toys to keep them entertained.

About: I believe in maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing stress and making their time without you feel seamless. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a dedicated, compassionate companion who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a teacher, my summers are completely free, making it the perfect time to dedicate myself to pet care. I live only a half block from a large park and am very close to the lake, which is ideal for long walks. I genuinely love walking, so integrating multiple walks throughout the day for your dog is a pleasure, not a chore. This prime location also offers easy access to plenty of green space for playtime and exercise. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box/cage cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of cuddles. I'll also bring in your mail and water plants, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Valerie! With over 7 years of experience on Rover, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from playful puppies to senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I take pride in keeping every pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, whether that means extra potty breaks, administering medications, or giving lots of love and attention. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of playtime at the park, and a calm, loving environment. I truly treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My grandma and I team up to care for pets—so your pets get extra love and attention! With two of us, we make sure all their needs are covered. I care for pets as if they were my own—providing attentive, gentle, and reliable care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure plenty of play, walks, fresh water, and affection, and keep owners updated with photos and messages.
