1. Erin J.
“Erin has been walking Risotto a few times a week to help get some of his puppy energy out. During our meet and greet, she asked really great questions to make sure she knew of any preferences we had. She’s punctual and has been working with Risotto on his endurance during walks. I would highly recommend Erin to friends and family!”
2. Colleen O.
“Colleen was super helpful and was able to schedule an additional walk with my schedule running long. She was prompt in communication and sent updates and pictures! Very comforting to know she cares about my pup and she is so appreciated 😊”
3. Ivan L.
“Ivan followed directions well as I was not home at the time of the walk. He sent picture updates and tired my pup out, which is just what we wanted! Would and probably will be using Ivan again!”
4. Simon H.
“Simon was a lifesaver when I needed a last minute walker service. Highly recommended for his reliable service and prompt/friendly communication!”
5. Olivia D.
“Olivia was great walking my, reactive and loud, dog! Dependable, communicative, and even cleaned up after my dog when he got into the trash (oops).”
6. Sarah M.
“Sarah was great - was able to walk the doodles last minute, super communicative and thorough. Would absolutely book her again and highly recommend for your furry friend as well!”
7. Randy M.
“Randy is an incredible dog sitter. He is communicative, timely, thoughtful, and just all around an asset to the Rover community. He sends plenty of pictures and updates and is incredibly patient with our Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. I can’t recommend Randy enough!”
8. Kate D.
“Thank you Kate! Appreciate the cute pics and for keeping us updated :)”
9. Claire G.
“I have had Claire watch my cat for over 2 years now. My cat loves her. And he doesn't love many people. She has been perfect when I needed her to stay over, or when I've needed her to simply watch the cat for a period of time. She works very hard, cleans well, and make sure everything is taken care of with the cat. She's very conscientious. I highly recommend her services.”
10. Arianna J.
“Arianna is amazing walking my super energetic puppy! She’s very patient, dependable, punctual and trustworthy. I’m so happy to have found her to take care of my baby. I highly recommend her!”
11. Jaidyn D.
“Jaidyn has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! Her care for both our dog and 2 cats has been exceptional. Our dog, who can be a bit anxious, quickly warmed up to Jaidyn’s calm and loving demeanor, and our cats adored the extra attention and playtime, even Astra who’s usually a bit more shy. She is reliable, communicative, and truly treat our pets like her own. We always feel at ease knowing Jaidyn is looking after them. Highly recommend!”
12. Priti B.
“Priti is awesome! She came to our house to do and meet and greet before the walk. She was very nice, on time, and the dogs loved her! She now walks our dogs weekly! Highly recommended her to watch after your pets!”
13. Elena & Cesar A.
“Great walker for my rambunctious Sadie Lady! Wonderful communication, and very reliable. I would recommend Elena and Cesar in a heartbeat”
14. Laura & Simon L.
“My partner and I both got sick at the same time and Laura was nice enough to take our puppy for walks on very short notice. She always showed up on time and Momo would wait impatiently for her at the door. Her joy at seeing Laura spoke volumes. Thank you!! Would definitely recommend.”
15. Emily F.
“Emily was great with Luna! Super nice, responsive, and you can tell she cares about your pet. Highly recommend!”
16. Carolina G.
“Carolina was an amazing dog walker for my dog Katie!! My dog loved her and I could tell she really cared about Katie too. She was so kind, flexible, and understanding when my dog developed a terminal illness and took incredible care of her. She was attentive to her needs and communicative with me. All the way until the end of Katie’s time here, she was very caring. It made a tough situation easier knowing I had someone I really trusted who cared about Katie taking care of her. I highly recommend Carolina!”
17. Christopher P.
“Christopher is the most kind and loving human. Our pup absolutely adores the time he spends with Christopher. Christoper has never let us down and when he cares for our Scout (lab, 4 years old) he gets all the ball throwing and snuggles! If you know labs you know that’s a LOT of ball throwing and snuggles! Highly recommend Chris 5 out of 5 stars plus an extra snuggle too.”
18. Carolyn G.
“Carolyn is the best! She’s on time, takes long walks with my puppy Biggie, gives me excellent updates, truly cares for my puppy. Cannot recommend her enough!”
19. Alison L.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and there is nothing I love more than playing and caring for your furry family members. I have been on dog sitting apps for over 5 years and I am a trusted and responsible caregiver. I am working remote full time but can be available after 5 every day and throughout the day for potty breaks as needed. I have a car so travel isn’t a worry. I cannot host your pets at mine but I am very responsible and trustworthy and happy to care for pets from their space. They are often more comfortable anyways!
