“My senior rescue pup has behavioral issues and requires a lot of patience and warming up. Diana always takes the time to help my pup calm down and warm up - really appreciate it!”




2. Iryna T.

“Super punctual. Great with my puppy and logs 3 miles average in an hour which is awesome for my puppy. Would definitely recommend her services.”




3. Kye O.

“Kye has been walking my dog two days a week for the past two weeks. It is very noticeable that he loves dogs. My pit bull is a very energetic and playful pup, and Kye manages her very well. He has been adaptable each time, even when we've forgotten to leave treats and dog bags. One day, Mulan had an accident inside the house, and Kye cleaned it up without any hesitation. I have no doubt that he will take great care of Mulan if we need him to. I wholeheartedly recommend Kye!”

“Heather has been walking Gigi for almost a year now. She not only been reliable and kind but has gone above and beyond with Gigi, teachingi her tricks and updated me with all her walk experiences. Gigi loves Heather and gets so excited to see her when she comes. Heather makes sure Gigi gets a good walk in and takes extra time to show her love! We appreciate her so much!”


5. Laura M.
“I’ve known Laura for over a decade and she has always been incredibly responsible and punctual in her work and personal life. She’s very knowledgeable about both cats and dogs, being a cat mom herself and having dog training experience. She will care for your pet(s) as if they were her own, don’t hesitate to work with her!”


6. Sarah I.

“Sarah has been such a good walking companion for our two dogs! They were consistently punctual and sent me photos and reviews at the end of every walk. They also took the time to say hello to my two cats who weren’t apart of the rover-care. I would definitely hire them again as my dogs were quick to like them and thoroughly enjoyed each walk! Thanks so much Sarah!”


7. Alice R.

“Alice and her kids were brilliant! She goes above and beyond being intuitive to our dogs’ needs, getting them good excercise and a good dose of loving care. I am comforted knowing my pups will get the loving attention they need (and excercise) with Alice.”


8. Ryan R.
“Ryan is a very professional and sincere dog caregiver. He is passionate about animals and takes pride in caring for dogs. Ryan provides timely updates when he watches my dog and lets me know how my dog is doing. I would trust him to watch and care for my dog anytime. I would recommend his services if anyone needs their dogs taken care of.”




9. Nhu H.

“I was so happy that Nhu could make time to walk our Sidney on short notice. I messaged her and she was here to walk Sidney within 30 minutes. Communication was quick and my dog seemed to love her walk with her. We will definitely be calling again!”


10. Julian M.
About: I’ve been walking my dogs for the past 7 years until my mom recently moved to michigan, ever since there’s been a hole in my lifestyle that i’d love to fill by walking your dog(s) I’m currently a student at SFSU and commute from the East Bay. Looking for a job has been hard so my friend recommended dog walking to fill up my empty schedule and make some extra cash for groceries and such:) If you’re not at home for dog pickup, i’ll treat your home with maximum respect, coming in for your pup and leaving the place exactly how i left it!


11. Naisu L.
“It's nice to have a local person who is dependable and responsible. Knowing my dog will get her walks on time by someone she likes is a huge relief. She warmed up to Nathan right away.”




12. Jessica W.
“jessica is my number one "go to" for all dog sitting/waking needs. my two dogs LOVE her which makes it so much easier to leave them when i know how happy they are with her! she is responsible,trustworthy, and most importantly great with animals. when i come back from a trip where jessica has been house and dog sitting for me, all my neighbors rave about how much time she spent in the park with them and how great she is with them and have asked for her info as well! she's very popular in our neighborhood and in my household!”


13. Angelique S.
About: I’ve always been around animals, more specially dogs, my whole life! I love taking care of them in anyway possible! Brushing, feeding, walking, etc! They are the furry friends we all need in our lives! I work a part time job that doesn’t give many hours, so I have tons of extra time to care for and love your fur babies! I would love to play with and give treats to your animal, as well as groom and make sure they get the most love ever to keep them happy and healthy!!


14. Benjamin I.

“Ben is incredible! He goes above and beyond and is extremely communicative, thoughtful, and caring. Knowing that my dog was getting two visits a day from Ben while i was out of town gave me significant piece of mind. If you need a “Rover,” look no further!”


15. Christina R.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny to large and wild! I am a former firefighter (and 5' 11"), so you never have to worry if I have the strength to hold onto your larger dogs. I have experience with senior dogs, and training puppies! I work for myself, so I create my own schedule. If you're on the calendar, I'll be there! I have recently been looking for ways to enhance my life in my free time, so I have started volunteering with a few organizations and want to add animals into my life on a greater scale. I am someone who understands that pets need love and play time. I'm not someone who will simply walk your dog or feed your cat and leave. If your pets want more attention than that, then I'm thrilled to give that to them!


16. Catherine L.
“Catherine has sat for my dog Bear multiple times as friends. He's always so happy and excited to see her and even does some face licks, which he doesn't do with anyone else even me haha. I'd highly recommend her as a dog walker, sitter, and general caretaker.”


17. Teetouch P.
“Teetouch is fantastic with my dog. He cared for my dog, Yoki, who has a disability and needs extra attention. He is making everything easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended!”


18. Adrianne B.
“October of 2023 I asked Adrianne Bright if she could look after my 3 yr old pitbull Blondie and my senior special needs cat Max. Blondie bonded immediately with Adrianne. Dogs know good people. It was short notice due to me not finding someone I felt I could trust. I was going to be gone for two weeks. Adrianne took Blondie on walks daily and spent time with her also in her apartment. Adrianne sent me updates, videos and pictures of them having fun and going on hikes. Adrianne also took care of Max Cat. She gave Max his daily insulin shots, cat box maintenance and feeding. I was able to be away two weeks and not worry because my animals were in good care with Adrianne.”


19. Zoe C.
“Zoe has helped me with my dog Primo since he was a puppy. She has walked him, played with him, fed him, dog sat him, and loved him. He is getting older and is a little slower. He his happy when Zoe arrives and I know he is in good hands.”


20. Diana C.
“Diana has house-sat and cared for our animated pet parakeets on numerous occasions, from several days to weeks. She is very reliable, trustworthy, conscientious and caring with our birds. We also appreciate that she's a good communicator. We'd definitely hire her again!”
