“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!”
“Brooke is a very nice and professional walker. Liberty quickly liked her and she was great working with our puppy training him how to walk on a lease.”
“Great walker for my rambunctious Sadie Lady! Wonderful communication, and very reliable. I would recommend Elena and Cesar in a heartbeat”
“We can't recommend Jon enough! He has been walking our dog, Charlotte, for several days and we couldn't be happier. He is always on time, incredibly trustworthy, and you can tell how much he genuinely loves dogs. We love the daily photo and message updates and path trail from their walks. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our darling is in such good hands. She wags her tail and jumps up and down every time she sees him. I recommend him unreservedly.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Julia for stepping in on such short notice to care for our two senior dogs. Finding someone you can trust especially with elderly pets who have specific needs never easy, but Julia immediately made us feel at ease. She was gentle, patient, and attentive, and our dogs, Charlie and Tyson took to her right away, which says everything. She kept us updated during the walks, which gave us peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cared for their well-being. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us out, and we wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again. Thank you for treating our babies like your own.”
“Ilana was amazing!!! I would totally use her again with my fur baby! She alerted me that my dog wasn’t eating her food which is normal when she pours when we leave her but was happy that Ilana was paying her attention and alerting us! She was on time, reliable and trustworthy!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom since 2017, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love. Over the years, I’ve raised my own pup from adolescence into adulthood, and I’ve also taken care of family and friends’ dogs of all sizes. Those experiences have taught me how to read different personalities, understand a wide range of temperaments, and adjust my care style to make any dog feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can easily fit in midday walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime without any interruptions. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every visit. Whether I’m walking your dog or doing a drop-in, I follow your routines exactly and make sure doors, leashes, and feeding areas are secure. I work from home, so I’m attentive and never rushed, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable with me. You’ll always get clear updates and photos, and your pet will be cared for with the same love and reliability I give my own dog.
“Amanda has been a great addition to Ducky’s daily routine since I’ve had to start going back to the office. She now looks forward to every walk! Amanda is also an excellent communicator and keeps me updated which I appreciate while being newly away from my dog!”
“Sean is excellent! He’s responsive, timely, and very kind. I have a 100lb dog and Sean does very well with him. I’ll definitely continue to have Sean walk my dog.”
“Carla was extremely helpful, timely in communications and sent multiple update photos when walking Dakotah. As someone who has never used a dog walker before, Carla took great care of my pup Dakotah in getting her energy out during the middle of the day. I would highly recommend her for anyone in the area.”
“Malibu and Rocio got along great!!!! Malibu will definitely being staying with Rocio again. Rocio was quick to respond and very accommodating. I'd recommend her for your pet.”
“Carolina IS THE BEST!!!!! She walks my puppy twice a week and she is so considering, kind, and professional. I am extremely happy that we found her and can fully trust her. She is great at communicating as well and I can see she really cares about my pup.”
“We booked Erin last-minute and she was super easy to work with, communication was clear, and we know our dog was in great hands! Would definitely recommend her and we will book again!”
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!
“Simon is great! He is always very responsive and so attentive to Chanel’s needs. He makes sure that she gets all her puppy energy out during walks and makes sure that she is well taken care of. Thanks, Simon!”

Heidi has been wonderful - so glad we found her after we moved and our schedules suddenly changed. She's super responsive, flexible and always open to helping out. Heidi has gotten to know Maple's habits and personality and alerts us if there's anything we should know or something seems off. Couldn't appreciate her more and Maple has a great time with her!
We could not be happier with our dog walker! From the moment she arrives, my chocolate lab’s tail starts wagging and she races to the door—she absolutely adores her. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s always excited to go with her and clearly feels loved and cared for. She is always on time, completely reliable, and genuinely sweet with her. It’s obvious she treats her as if she were her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and truly wonderful dog walker!
We are so grateful to have Mandy in the neighborhood to walk Frankie while we’re at work. Frankie still has some puppy energy, but Mandy manages it like a pro. She is not only communicative, timely, and responsible, but we can also tell she adores pets like they’re her own.
Kristina has both walked my dog and stayed with him overnight for several days in my home, and I have to say she's by far the best dog sitter and walker I've had. I've never seen my dog bond with someone so quickly and deeply. She's communicative (takes initiative to update you, sends pics, responds promptly), responsible, and trustworthy, and as long as she's offering her services I'll be hiring her to take care of my dog. Side note, she took better care of my home than I do while I was gone and left it in better shape than she found it.
