“Erin was wonderful! I booked two walks with her and unfortunately the first one was rainy (and my dog isn’t a fan of the rain!) but she was still able to get him out so he could use the bathroom and get a mini walk. For both walks she took photos and gave a brief rundown of how her visit went. She was nice and communicated well!”
“Mike walks Cali on a regular basis. Cali loves going on walks with Mike and is happy to see him. This particular walk was requested last minute. Mike was flexible and said he would help right away. He even asked if Cali needed to eat as well. It was a huge help and he is a fantastic dog walker!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 and I really love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog likes long walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make owners feel comfortable leaving their pets with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for your pets since I am home from college. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends, which gives me lots of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when they’re with me. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or routines your pet is used to. I’m patient with animals and pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. In a client’s home, I am respectful of the space and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while the owners are away.
“Consistency is important to me, so I was thrilled that Elizabeth was able to accommodate my schedule. I love the way she cares for my puppy and Elizabeth is great about sending reports and photos, I know he is always in good hands with her.”
“5 perfect stars, if I could give more I would! Such a wonderful woman. She cared for my puppy and made it so I could trust someone while was work to come and walk her during the day. Always was there to help even on super short notice made sure my puppy was happy and safe:). I think my pup liked her more than me haha a massive huge help and I will recommend her to anyone that needs a walker. Thankyou very much for all the help you gave me :)”
“Jodi was extremely responsive and communicative. She went the extra mile and sent a ton of photographs, checked on medical issues and whether there was food/water in her bowl. Highly recommend and will ask her to walk Reigh again!”
“Kelly is sweet, caring and responsible. She was able to fit us into her schedule despite having prior arrangements. She sent me lots of pictures and a detailed update after walking my dog. Both my dog and I loved meeting her and will definitely book again.”
“HIGHLY recommend. Had a last minute trip to Miami and he handled everything professionally and politely. He was great with my dog Turbo and sent great updates and pictures. You can tell he cares for others pets like a member of his own family! Will definitely be having him baby sit my dogs in the future! He even made himself available incase of a delayed flight which was very comforting for my wife and I.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and the dogs of my neighbors since I was young. I have cared for my own senior yorkshire terrier as well as my young, spunky border terrier and I would be excited to care for your pet! I am a Harvard senior who now has ample time until graduation. I am looking forward to being flexible during the early morning, throughout the workday, and evening. I am happy to adapt to your pet's needs in the home and will abide by the routine that works best for you and your pet.
About: I work at a kennel and I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets Whatever you need me to do I will. If they take medicine, I need to feed them or walk them, or even just sit and watch them. I am available pretty much whenever for additional work whenever needed! I am a student at Syracuse University but I am good with hours throughout the week and weekends. I have grew up in a house full of animals since I was little. I also work at a kennel and am very experienced with taking care of animals.
“Madison has been walking Jake, our very active, 60lb collie/heeler mix, for a few weeks now and we are delighted we found her on Rover. She is very dependable and obviously experienced with energetic dogs. Jake loves her, he watches out the window at walk time and charges to the door as soon as he sees Madison coming! We would definitely recommend Madison.”
About: I have 4+ years of experience working as a vet assistant/technician, working with cats and dogs. I enjoy working with all types of animals, and can administer any necessary medications. I am comfortable with all types of pets of all different sizes and behaviors. I currently work 3-4 days of the week full time at a vet clinic, so would be better suited to take care of lower maintenance pets on those days. I am free all day when I am not working, and can be around to take care of pets full time then (I.e. walking, socializing, feeding, etc). I live in a household with 2 other dogs - both very friendly, calm and playful. For dogs, I will make sure to take them on a daily walk, and they will also be free to go in and out of the house as they please when at home (my yard is fenced). I am very conscious of the importance of spending time/being around the pet and not leaving them alone for long periods of time.
About: I worked at a Dog Kennel for a year and have been independently animal sitting on and off since then. I also used to bathe dogs at a dog groomers! I’m a primary contact for many friends who need pet sitting and have several returning clients. I also have 2 dogs of my own, chickens, fish, a bearded dragon and 2 geckos! I’m currently living at home and work at Trader Joe’s so my schedule is pretty flexible. Caring for animals is a nice escape for me so I make time for it! I like to give the animals a lot of love and attention to insure that they’re happy and can see that I’m someone they can trust. I take time to build up their trust to reduce their anxiety.
“Claire was so great! She responded immediately for a last minute request the next day. Was able to come and meet my dogs beforehand. She also was great with communication :) would definitely recommend!”

Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She’s incredibly patient, responsible, and always communicates clearly and consistently. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Olivia genuinely cares, and it shows. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
