“Kristina was such a blessing! My pup and I absolutely loved having her part of our lives. She cares so much and is very communicative about how the session went. And flexible when I needed to make adjustments to our normal schedule. These qualities gave me peace of mind knowing my little guy was in great hands while I was away. She’s not just someone who’s out to make a few extra dollars, she has a huge heart for the fur babies! Highly recommended! ❤️”


“Angie is amazing! I have two mini schnauzers one of whom is very hard to get to know. He is just so wary of strangers but when we did the meet and greet he took to her almost immediately I was pleasantly surprised. Needless to say she is my regular walker! My boys absolutely love her. She sends tons of pictures and is trustworthy! I am fortunate to have found her! If you need a great dog walker,pet sitter etc. Angie should be your first pick!”


“Cayeln is absolutely amazing! I love her creativity to ask me where she wanted to walk Darla. Darla aay a squirrel and took off to chase the squirrel with such force the leash snapped. The great thing is she waa able to run her down and get Darla back with her. Darla loves Cayeln! She has such a wonderful spirit about herself and I love the trust that my dog has with Cayeln! I'm going to book her once a week for the next 3 months!”


“Kylie is prompt and motivated to do what my dog needs. My dog is shy and stubborn at the same time so when my dog wouldn’t leave to house for a walk, Kylie played ball and wore her out!”


About: ***I HAVE ACCESS TO JBLM*** I’ve had cats in the family my whole life! I even have my own kitten named Toffee. Dog care is limited to one year, but I am willing to learn and listen. I am a flexible worker, and only want the best for your pet. I understand how overwhelming it can be to choose the right sitter/walker, so don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m currently in college, but I still have plenty of availability! I have class Monday and Wednesday from 9:30-4:00 (can visit before and after, but not in between), and class on Thursday from 10:00-1:00. Please expect a meet up before booking, so I can get acclimated to the accessible rooms and meet the pet. I am an attentive listener and will ask questions if needed. Please don’t be afraid to ask either; I am always willing to send lots of photos, get your mail, monitor your cat’s health, etc!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was really young! I had lots of different pets growing up, so I have experience with all types of animals. I have done pet sitting before, by myself and helping my sisters. I am currently on summer break before I go to college at the end of September, so I have lots of free time to take care of pets! I have lots of free time to check on the pets and stay in the house, whatever is needed! I love going on walks, so I have no problems taking your pets for walks or being outside with them!

About: I’ve had all types of pets since I was 7. I’ve taken care of all types of unique and different types of dogs as well. I love nature so walking them would be something I’d love to do as well as play with them. I have experience with medications, cleaning up , washing up and playing with or training all dogs I am free as in an open book so pet care fits perfectly in my schedule from morning to night im yours to book anytime I have a house around the park area with trails for walking or dog walking as well as a dog for your own to have company with , plenty of toys and as well plenty of family members to give your pet extra love

“Sidney did great with handling our dogs and cat through our "getting to know you" visits that we set up, and we agreed the last walk was not needed prior to the longer pet sitting, so "review" saying a dog walk was cancelled is not a negative on Sidney, just not necessary but she didn't cancel it electronically soon enough. She did a great job with the pets and will be happy to arrange for her to sit them again on future occasions.”


About: Use my promo code for a discount!! DYANAM20953 Hi! I'm the girl at the party who makes best friends with the dog. I've always owned at least 2 dogs but sometimes up to 9 pups have ended up at my house. I have had the privilege of taking care of many different breeds. We grew up with pitbulls, dachshunds, chihuahuas, labs, German shepherds, mixed breeds, etc. We take our pups for walks, hikes, to the dog park, petco. I have a dachshund and bull terrier(both minis) to keep your dog company. I have taken care of dogs/animals at all stages of life and with many different needs. I am comfortable with watching your pup even if he/she needs medication or special attention. I can provide walks and exercise throughout the day for your pup so that you don't have to worry about it. I am no longer accepting NON neutered males. Please dont hesitate to ask me anything! I'm all ears! I work part time throughout the week and sometimes work is slow so I will open my calendar up to my availability at the time. I prefer to not kennel .Weekends however I always have off so friday-sunday will usually be available. Weekdays I can always do walks, etc. If you need me I am available after 3 When staying in my home, the dogs and I hang out around the house, play, eat, and relax. Weather permitting we will also go on A LOT of walks or adventures in my car. All activities do depend on what is requested from the owner. If they are not allowed on furniture they do not get to be on furniture but I will make them their own comfy bed on the floor

About: We adopted 3 baby kittens in Feb 2020. They are curious, have a lot of energy and get into everything :) Before that, we adopted 2 adult sibling cats that we had for over 10 years. We love small dogs as well and can provide lots of attention for them. I am a stay at home mom and I homeschool my 2 children. My high school daughter will help me on the weekends and nights, so the pets can have twice the attention. My husband works from home so I am flexible if needed during the day for drop ins. I am a former elementary teacher and school librarian and spent 15 years caring for students of all ages, so I can provide the extra care and patience for your pets. We haven't had dogs as pets of our own, but we have a ton of experience with taking care of cats and playing with the grandparent's dogs, they have 3 larger dogs.. If we do drop in visits for small dogs, we can give them supervised playtime outside in your yard and play catch. Unfortunately at this time we aren't able to provide care at our home. But we would love to come to your home where your dog or cat is comfortable and give them extra attention and the daily care that they need.

About: Here on Rover I've cat, dog, and puppy-sat. I love meeting fellow dedicated owners and their pets. I'm particularly good with cats and older dogs. I talk to the pets I'm checking on almost constantly during the visit so they get lots of human interaction. I also make sure the pet gets a good smell/introduction when I first arrive. I've always had dogs and cats in my household. I grew up in a rural area with plenty of beloved dogs and cats, and now I have 3 cats at home. My cats have a hard time trusting dogs, so I might never have my own - but I love dogs, especially spending time outside with them! Let me live vicariously through you and your dogs and get some exercise for all of us! I work from home in the Clearwood area and can drive up to 20 minutes away for drop-ins. I'm not currently house sitting, but I'm open to drop-ins and walks! With my years of experience I can read animal body language very well and know how to diffuse a situation and calm a pet down.

“So happy Julie was available to walk our pups. We look forward to booking with her again. She sent a photo of the pups and texted me before and after the walks. We Highly recommend Julie.”


About: I have 3 years of experience walking dogs. Before that I helped when family went out of town. I cared for their dogs and even their chickens. I would love to help with your fur family. I work for a school district, so I am currently on Summer break. When school starts I am available after 3:00. I'm also available on weekends. I have a fenced yard and two dogs. They are both very sweet. Ned is a senior boy, but Stella loves to play. If you would like, I can crate your fur baby.

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life growing up on a farm. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 24 years. I work part-time remotely and part-time in a vet clinic. I am looking to supplement my income while still working my current part-time jobs. I work Monday through Wednesday remotely. Then I'm working Thursday and Friday in a Veterinary Hospital. I'm mostly available Friday night through early Thursday morning. I have 4 dogs, 2 outdoor cats, 2 horses, and 15 chickens. I can easily separate dogs as needed with a secure large backyard. Our entire property is 5 acres completely fenced and cross fenced. My husband can easily take care of our animals if I'm away from the house.

“Chancy was lovely. Kind. Professional -will rebook with her in the future”


“Amanda is amazing 5atars Great communication Responded Within minutes of my inquiry . Responded with professionalism and was personable. Very sweet and easy to talk too. Gave me great updates on the walk. She handled my Belgian malinoise that's overweight about 150lbs. In addition so working with my other dog thatnis very timid - both were very responsive to her and trusted her. I would hire her again in the heartbeat. She has a very sweet and trusting demeanor.”


“Amazing! Rigby looks forward to her walks with Fawn! ☺️”


“Nelly had an incredible first experience with Sandra! She must have a way with our furry friends because Nelly is typically slow to warm up, but she immediately felt at ease. The communication was excellent, with timely updates and adorable photos. Nelly returned happy and tired—a sign of a fantastic walk. Highly recommend Sandra for her exceptional care and professionalism. I will be choosing Sandra as my preferred walker from now on!!!”


About: I work remotely part time from home. Looking for extra income and more animals to adore. I help take care of family also. Long term and short term availability. Currently working at home part time. So lots of time. And have my own schedules with current animals, livestock, poultry and cats & dogs. Also some reptiles. I am working on sitting up a safe area for pets to be removed from my animals and then will be open for boarding. Unsure on the timeline of that

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for at least 6 years and have helped my neighbors’ with their dogs including dog walking at least 3 times a week for a year or 2. Although I’m employed M-F, the majority of my weekends are free. My weekends would be available throughout the entire day meaning that I could dog walk any time and any amount of walks. During dog walking I would ensure that every dog gets the desired amount of exercise (whatever is requested). This would be done by starting an outdoor workout exercise on my Apple Watch so I can keep track of time. I also supervise dogs well on walks and make sure that they’re not picking up anything in their mouths.
