“I cannot stress enough how above and beyond Kaitlyn goes! Unfortunately she was only able to walk my Zeus for one day before we found out he had a brain tumor. Without knowing this, Kaitlyn arrived early for his walk, spent extra time with him after his walk, and was incredibly communicative. She even interacted with my neighbors who love Zeus and updated me when he got a treat from them. I’m so happy she gave him such a great day before all of this happened. It’s obvious she’s dedicated and truly cares for the animals she sits for!”
“Katie walked our two dogs three times a day for a week and was fantastic. She was always on time and sent photo updates. We would love to have Katie walk our dogs again - would absolutely recommend her!”
“Maryann truly loves animals and takes the utmost care of our puppy when we are away. She even adds her personal touches to make him feel extra special. I recommend Maryann for any type of Rover services she offers. She is punctual, organized and conscientious.”
“From the very first meeting, I knew my dog was in good hands. Sylvia showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes to make sure she understood my dog’s routine and quirks. That level of care really stood out to me. Since then, she’s been amazing—reliable, kind, and clearly someone who loves what she does. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited when Sylvia comes by. I feel really lucky to have found her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond!”
About: I've had my dog Maximus for over five years and he is my absolute best friend. Prior to adopting Max, I fostered a reactive dog for a few months so I am familiar with handling dogs that have special behavioral needs. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I work in education and have a lot of flexibility in the summer while only going into the office one or two days a week so I can be flexible given advanced notice! Pets are family and treated as such! My dog does have limitations on which furniture he can be on so I will respect any boundaries that you set for your home but don't worry, they'll still get plenty of love!

About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies who still live with my parents at the ripe old age of 14 (still pups to me though). I helped to care for a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I also looked after dogs in my old neighborhood, walking and running in the park, and even learning patience from various adorable, but menacing, puppies. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Used Jules several times. Highly recommend. She is consistent, communicative, so kind, responsible, and my dog loves her. Every time I return after Jules has been with him he seems so satisfied and content and happy.”
“Sierra has been walking our dog Lux and she's great! She has been super responsive and very flexible to our accommodate our needs. We love that she takes Lux on walks with other dogs to give her some socialization. Totally recommend!”
“Lydia is great! She’s super flexible and easy to schedule. She’s great with our puppy and is a lifesaver since I work out of the house all day. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been an animal owner and lover my whole life. I enjoy walking in parks and spending time outside playing tug o war. Inside snuggles are fun too! I currently work full time overnight. I am available for overnight visits Thursday-Saturdays. I am available for check ins and walks on Monday Tuesday Wednesdays between 5p-10pm or Thursday Fridays between 8a-1p. Open all day Saturday Sunday. I have a friendly, loving cat who loves all the space and windows in my home. No yard, but plenty of parks only .5-1 mile away from home.
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs of all sizes. I always put my greatest care into taking care of my neighbors’ and family friends’ pets, from making sure they get their daily walks to playing with them so they aren’t lonely. I have a dog and two cats myself, and I love them both dearly:) I am a college student with classes in the early afternoon, so I can check on your pet in the morning, late afternoon, and nighttime! I make sure to follow the instructions of my clients to ensure their pets are where they are used to/supposed to be (eg. leashing dogs on walks, keeping a close watch if the pet is let outside)
About: I worked in a dog boarding facility for 3 years in high school and am confident in my ability to safely care for all ages, breeds, and behavioral-levels of dogs. In the past, I have taken care of neighborhood cats and dogs while their people were on vacation. I have also had Labrador retrievers in my house since I was a baby, so I am used to the day to day care. I am currently working as a dance teacher, so my work hours are late afternoon/evening and weekends. I am mainly looking to fulfill morning walk needs! I can care for your pets in whatever way will upkeep their normal routine and make you and them feel comfortable. My number one priority is their safety and happiness.

Blackstone dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with Kimberly while we were away on vacation for four days this week. She took amazing care of our 10-month-old puppy, and we couldn’t be happier with the attention and love she gave her! Kimberly was punctual, dependable, and super communicative throughout. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos after each walk—it gave us total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. She clearly has a natural way with dogs, and our puppy warmed up to her right away. Coming home to a happy, well-exercised pup made all the difference. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you! The Rebello's
We couldn't be more grateful to have had Gilbert as our dog walker while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, was professional, trustworthy, and—most importantly—absolutely wonderful with our dog. Gilbert took the time to understand our dog's routine, quirks, and preferences, and it showed in how happy and relaxed our pup was when we got home. He kept us updated with photos and little notes after each visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Gilbert genuinely cares about the pets he works with—he treated our dog like his own. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals, we wholeheartedly recommend Gilbert. We’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much, The Rebello's

Michelle has come weekly to see our large, old lady, rescue pittie since September last year. We couldn’t recommend her enough! She is reliable, professional, responsible (naturally sensitive to our dogs needs) & cares for our dog like she is her own. Even down to photos/videos/notes for each visit that are always so thoughtful & give us a good giggle when there are some silly shots of her. Michelle is the best!!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two pups! Annie was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly adored my dogs. She followed all instructions perfectly and even sent updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. Highly recommend!
