“It was suggested that I write a review but it's probably a bit early after two walks with Alex. Suffice it to say that we are very happy so far. Judy is very calm, and that works well with Alex because he can be a bit hyper. I also appreciate the detailed feedback of the walk and his various stops. In short, great!”
“Xiahanwei was an amazing walker for my dog Nature, she was patient, playful and loving. She send endless of pictures which made me feel secure while away that they were having fun and nature was being well taken care of . She helped feed (Rumi) my cat even though it wasn’t part of her job description, she went over and above and I am grateful and would definitely book with her again! Thank you”
“Andrea is prompt and professional, you can rest easy knowing that she will be there for you and your pet on time as agreed upon. Andrea was responsive during messaging, and is really good with dogs. I would not hesitate to have her care for my Ripley again.”
“Isabella is the best! She has been a dependable dog walker for our two pups. She has also provided house sitting services for us while we've been away. She is trustworthy, great at communicating, and very respectful. We would highly recommend Isabella to anyone needing help with their pets.”
“Belle is great with out Puppy Echo! Very patient and treats her so well. We love all the pictures and debriefs she gives us after every walk, so happy we found her and have her for our girl Echo!”
“Josselyn is absolutely amazing with my dog, Pepper! She is incredibly dependable, caring, and trustworthy, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing Pepper is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure Pepper is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Pepper absolutely loves her! I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and would highly recommend Josselyn to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Cats, dogs, birds etc! I love animals and plan on one day becoming a vet technician. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them, dogs parks are lots of fun as well! I have been trusted to take care of friends animals as well, and they are always happy with the care their pets receive from me! My daily schedule includes a day job that I attend Monday-Friday, so I am best able to care for pets that are comfortable being alone for up to 8 hours. Outside of my work hours I dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I will ensure the pets have safe access to food and water as well as frequent potty breaks. I will make sure they feel safe in their environment and with me whilst they are in my care. I will play with them and be sure they have access to toys they like as well as access to treats! (In moderation of course)
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience with both younger and older dogs, and I’m also a proud cat mom to an older cat with medical needs. Caring for him has made me comfortable following detailed routines, paying close attention to changes in behaviour or habits, while also respecting the schedule they’ve decided is non-negotiable! I work a rotating shift schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines. My availability can vary day to day, so I encourage you to reach out. I’d love the opportunity to chat about your pet’s needs and see if our schedules are a good fit. For drop in visits and dog walks, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether that includes feeding, refreshing water, playtime, cuddles, litter box care, medication routines as instructed, or a walk tailored to their energy level, I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive and reliable care. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dog since I was 5 Judy a german Shepard winifred an American Stanford terrier Edger a Pom pug genius and since his passing at 14 from cancer a 7 month old chihuahua pug who adores playing sith my sisters alpha shitzu who keeps up delisted being physically disabled I currently work part-time from home and set my work hours. My dogs have never been entirely alone. I can schedule and arrange my other obligations to match what is needed. I strive to maintain training continuity and avoid disrupting their current routine as much as possible, regardless of the setting. I believe staying in their familiar environment inherently minimizes the disruption they feel while your away, but I promise to provide the same level of dedication and care. And if more outdoor time is the goal im always happy to accommodate long dog park requests
About: I have been pet sitting friends pet for many years and i love it. Fur babies miss their owners when they are away so I provide a fun, loving, welcoming and nurturing away from home feeling. All fur babies have a huge heart, they are lovable and fun to be around. I have stayed at my friends house while they have gone on holidays. I take them to the dog park if there is one near by and always ask the owners how their pets are with other animals. It is very important to keep them safe and happy. I am an active, responsible, caring, friendly person who has owned pets in the past and really misses them. I love being around them :) : I am flexible with my time throughout the day as long as I get enough notice. I am available on weekends in addition could also be available during holidays. I will only allow a dog off leash once I have become familiar with the dog and it's owner's commands. I always respect other dog's walkers.
About: I’ve been pet walking / sitting for years, and am very comfortable handling dogs- whether they are big or small, young or old, hyper or lowkey! My family grew up fostering for our local humane society, and loads of foster have needed medication/ had special needs, so I am pretty comfortable dealing with any pups that need some special attention (to an extent—if your pet needs more intensive medication administered during the booking let me know and we can discuss more). I also have a good baseline of training, so if you have things you are working on with your dog (ie. heeling on walks, sit/stay, etc) I can make sure that their training stays consistent while you’re gone. I will always make sure your dog is happy and healthy when I’m with them! I know for a lot of people leaving your pet with a stranger can be nerve wracking (for both you and your animal), but I will always keep you updated and in the loop. I am currently only working part time so my afternoons and evenings are free most days! If you need someone to take your dog for a quick walk at noon, or someone to watch them while you’re out for the evening, I’m your gal! I am very flexible in terms of scheduling, I just ask that you are clear with communication and try to reach out about changes ahead of time I will make sure to follow any/all instructions you have when watching your pet at home/ or taking them out. If there are special things to pay attention to please make sure to let me know (ie. need to be put on a longline while in the yard, dog will dig under fence if not watched, should avoid any other pets and/or people on walks, etc.)
“Thank you Ava, just got up from some rest from my red eye, waking up to see he’s lil face sparkle warms my heart, I was able to say hello and throw him some treats this morning with the furbo :) and don’t worry I won’t be using the furbo without letting you know either, I was just making sure he was doing alright on my shuttle to the hotel :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs across a good range of sizes and breeds — small dogs growing up, then medium and large breeds of my own as an adult, plus years of sitting for friends’ dogs along the way. That’s what made me the sitter my friends called first, and it’s the same care I bring to every walk and drop-in now. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs, moving at their pace, but love dogs of all ages :) I currently work part time, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. That flexibility means I can build pet care around your dog's schedule rather than squeezing visits into a rigid routine, so you get consistent, reliable timing for whatever service you book. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits rather than boarding, all care happens at your home and in your neighborhood. During a visit, I check in on your dog, refresh water if needed, and keep them leashed and secure for the walk or bathroom break. Before I leave, I double-check that doors and gates are locked exactly as I found them. I also follow your instructions closely — whether it’s a specific routine, feeding schedule, or how to handle your dog in certain situations — so both you and your dog feel safe and comfortable with me in your home.
About: Hi, we are Ayr & Lori, a responsible, trustworthy couple, married since 1999! We do not have our own kids or pets but we have had many years experience caring for other peoples pets (mostly dogs as we have cat allergies). We love to travel, read, garden, fly fish, camp and meet new people and pets. We have been many places, have stayed in many different types of accommodations and have cared for many types and numbers of dogs. We are capable of yard maintenance, errands, and general upkeep of properties. We are used to maintaining a home as we do own 2 properties in our city that we maage as rentla properties. So, we fully understand what a home owner is looking for for upkeep in terms of cleaning, yard maintenance, pet help, taking in mail, and respect for the property itself and neighbors in the area. We both work from home, running online businesses and so we are also available all day for the care and attention your pets deserve. We are very low key, quiet people. We are honest, reliable, and loyal. We make fast friends and look forward to meeting you and helping you with your house and pet sitting needs. Sincerely! When we are in the city we are available any time to help you out! We travel quite a lot and only need some advance notice to be available. We are full time travellers in our RV and so we would prefer to care and love your pets in your/their own home. Additionally, we find that your pets are also far more comfortable with all their familar walking routes, yard and environment.

Danae walked our dog Bogey for two days and did a wonderful job. She brought great energy and clearly genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. What stood out most was her communication. She gave us thoughtful feedback about Bogey and detailed updates on how their walks went, so we always knew how he was doing. Highly recommend her!
Abigail is lovely and very accommodating! She has been receptive to last minute changes i have had to make and is very kind and understanding. My dog also warmed up to her quickly after one or two walks, he will show signs of being afraid if he is indeed afraid, but he is very welcoming of abigail in our home! We will continue to book with her as she has been so good to us 🙂
10/10 ❤️ First time using rover and I may have shed a tear watching my pup walk off with someone else on this beautiful day.. LOL. But, with some physical limitations I had to call in reinforcements (which clearly wasn’t easy for me). When they arrived home my dog was smiling so big, playing, being goofy and clearly just SO happy. I felt instantly better! She will now be walking him a few times a week. He now has a new friend and walking buddy. She has lovely energy ! (I also have a big German shepherd which can be a lot for some) so happy we have her to help out now! 🫶🏻
Noella has been walking Molly most weeks for the last couple of months and she's been awesome. I was looking for a new dogwalker because our previous regular needed to move onto bigger and better things. It's clear to see that Noella really cares about her clients, which gives me peace of mind when I have to leave my pupper at home during the day. Noella is very communicative about unexpected events or concerns. I'm so glad we found Noella :)

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
