“I am so grateful to have found Kim to visit and walk my Great Dane. I’m relieved to have found such dependable and thoughtful care for my dog.”
“Nathan is very respectful and flexible to our needs. We’ve had no problems changing up our walk schedule or swapping times while traveling. Nathan is fantastic!”
“Thank you Ashley for being so patient and communicative these last couple of weeks with schedule changes and the heat and Kenny having ear infections to deal with! You are very pleasant and easy to work with. Thank you for taking such good care of Kenny! 🥰”
“Katie has been excellent in the first few weeks I have been working with her. She was incredibly patient getting to know my dog, who is a bit anxious, and has been flexible and accommodating as we work out a schedule that suits us both (and the pup)!”
“Always great communication”
“Rebel seems to have had a good experience, thanks for walking him!”
“Allison walked my mini Goldendoodle, Ginger, around the neighborhood a few times a week and always brought her back happy and well-exercised. She was so caring and attentive, always making sure Ginger’s water bowl was full and that she was comfortable before leaving. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ginger was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Callie has been amazing at caring for my older nearly 15 yr old Dutch Shepherd, Methos. Normally picking about who walks him/feeds him/gives his meds, Methos warmed up to her within 1 day. Callie's extra care and consideration for his progressing medical needs has assured me Methos is safe and in good hands.”
“Kelly is amazing. I am new to using rover but I am so glad that I picked Kelly”
“I have a large, energetic four-year-old dog, and Maggie did a terrific job walking him. She was friendly and punctual, and my pup took to her right away. He came home tired and happy from his walk and is looking forward to seeing her again.”
“Megan is great to work with! She has been a lifesaver walking our Zoey while we’re away. We love seeing her report card at the end of each walk and knowing how things went overall. She is a great communicator and always gives us plenty of notice for changes to her schedule. Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Juneau seems to enjoy Keeley. It was warm enough that she got a bit tired, so Keeley cut the walk short as we requested. We’ll try again soon!”
About: I have spent about 8 years walking and sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I have 3 years of experience being a veterinary technician and plan to become a veterinarian one day! I work part time, mostly during the mornings. I am available throughout the weekends and nights mostly. My schedule for work does vary but not by much each week! I live in a house with a big backyard so running and playing with high-energy animals is so big deal! I also have lazy kitties who enjoy just sitting and being pet. Whatever their into, i am into.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I grew up with a dog and when we got another puppy I helped take care of them. My neighbors would always call on me and my siblings to watch their pets when they would go on vacation. I just finished my second year at the University of Rhode Island looking to fill some of my free time this summer taking care of your furry friends. I have experience with dogs and I have helped train my own. I have no problem working with pets if they are misbehaving as I have dealt with it before.
“Julie has been very dependable and Chloe(my pup) really enjoys her time with her! Thank you for taking such good care of Chloe!”
“Meghan was awesome! Our dog really enjoyed walking with her and seemed very happy and playful around her. She showed up on time and also got a great picture of our dog. We will definitely be reaching out to Meghan the next time we need someone to walk our dog.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have developed a strong understanding of how to care for and handle them. Since I was 14 I have consistently walked dogs for two families, giving me valuable experience working with a variety of personalities and breeds. I am currently on summer break from college, so I have plenty of free time to give your dogs the attention and care they deserve. I have a spacious yard on a quiet, low-traffic street where dogs have plenty of room to play and explore. While it isn't fenced, all dogs are kept on leashes and closely supervised at all times to ensure their safety.
About: Since I was a kid I have always cared for my animals. As a young boy my parents made sure I was properly taking care of our cats and dogs that we grew up with. It was a responsibility that came with owning a pet. They are not just our companions but also our best friends and should be treated with care. Since then I've had a dog of my own, volunteered to foster multiple litters of kittens from the local animal shelter, and volunteered as a dog walker at the SPCA. I'm experienced with taking care of dogs from a puppy age all the way up to elderly. I work locally and from home on a flexible schedule as an engineer Monday through Friday. If I need to be home I am able to as much as I need to be during the week. On the weekends I am off of work so I have full the ability to set whatever schedule is necessary. We have a decent sized home with just the two of us. There is plenty of room for extra friends inside and out! The yard is not fenced so when taking dogs out we keep them leashed and supervised. The area is quiet and wooded for peaceful walks or energetic playtime in the backyard. We will adjust to your needs in terms of feeding, potty breaks, and crating. Typically we will feed twice a day, go out for potty breaks three times a day, and prefer to crate at night.
“Kathryn was a blessing to meet, and a joy to have as a walker, for my dog Juice. An owner of pitties, she handled him perfectly, even though he likes to pull. I look forward to hiring her again. As I'm sure, there will be more walks in future. Thank you so much for your time and dedication”

Samuel & Enora S.
“Sam has provided thoughtful and attentive care to numbers of dogs and cats in his lifetime. He has a large home in a safe, quiet neighborhood, with a nice yard that would be fun for dogs to enjoy! He’s owned and babysat numerous breeds; golden retrievers, boston terriers, huskies, and border collies. He’s very comfortable accommodating the needs of any animals whether they want to hike a mountain or snuggle on the couch. He’s also cared for senior dogs who needed medication, had mobility issues, etc. In addition to this, he’s also fostered litters of kittens for the SPCA and would make a great cat sitter as well!”
