“I had such an incredible experience with Diana last week. I was in a bind with travel and needed someone to stop in and walk my Golden while my husband was working. Diana made everything super easy, was very professional and sent pictures to show that all was well. My dog loved her, I will absolutely book with her again.”
“Daniela is so patient and so good with my dog, Baxter. He’s a very nervous dog who often isn’t good with strangers, but he warmed up to her right away! She gave me great updates and photos after every walk. I would recommend Daniela for anyone looking for someone to walk or look after their pet! 🙌🙌🙌”
“I used Kael while I was away on vacation, had never met him so I was unsure. But my dog loves him, he was so incredibly helpful by being responsive and flexible. I will be working him into my regular walking of my dog”
“Jane was communicative through the process of arranging the walk, arrived promptly, was pleasant and provided great feedback after the walk. I hope to have her walk Herbie again sometime.”
“Zhiyu has been great with flash. He goes above and beyond and lets my dog play with his dogs. By the time my dog comes back I have a hard time getting him inside the house because he’s just so excited and had so much fun!”
“Didem has been a life saver these last few months. She is caring and communicative, her energy is kind and calming, and most importantly, my dog loves her. I highly recommend Didem for your dog walking needs!”
About: I grew up caring for many pets and recently fostered a friend’s cat. I provide loving care, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention to each pet’s needs. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pets for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I always prioritize safety by following pet routines, keeping spaces clean, and giving constant supervision. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and care as if they were my own.
“Patty was very communicative and responded to our requests without any issues Henry our dog can be difficult at times yet she was very patient and kind. Henry seemed to like her a lot. She sent multiple pics during their walks. From this experience alone, I will have no worries going on vacation again and will definitely reach out to Patty in the future”
“Vanita has been taking care of my dog, Maggie, for a few months now on a regular basis, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s incredibly dependable and always accommodating, even with last-minute requests. Maggie adores her, and it’s clear how much love and attention she gives—she treats Maggie like her own. Her dog, Bailey, plays so well with Maggie, which is such a bonus. I also love the terrific pictures and videos I get, which give me total peace of mind. But the best part? Seeing Maggie’s excitement when we go over—she’s so happy she doesn’t even look back at me when I’m leaving! Even though Vinny is moving 30 minutes away, I’m absolutely going to keep using her because she’s just that good. Highly recommend!”
“Isabel has been a great partner in walking our notoriously difficult dog every morning. we've really appreciated her stepping in while we've needed the help and would recommend her to anyone looking for a punctual, kind and excellent dog walker.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 6 years old. I used to have a dog, who I took care for almost 14 years, then I rescue a cat and this is my little angle currently. I am enthusiastic and a pet lover, looking to help you to take care of them with love. "I'm currently working part-time, so I'll be able to take care of your pets on some days in the morning, afternoon, or evening. In the mornings, I can walk and take care of your pet from around 7 am to 2 pm, and later from 5 pm to 10 pm." I have a good space to taking care of your pets in my house, I also live near to a pet walking area with a good neighborhood. Also, I am close to a lot of parks where I can walk your pets and play with them.

My expertise also includes special needs pets, offering them the extra care they require. I provide flexible scheduling, frequent updates, and am skilled in maintaining pets’ home routines and behavioral training. Choose me for reliable, compassionate care that stands out. I am currently off work , therefore I can dedicate my whole day to giving attention and care to the pets.

About: I apologize for the bad pun, but I could not resist. My mom is a vet and a farmer so I grew up surrounded by a delightful cast of charismatic animal characters. Cats,dogs, cows, turkeys, bunnies,bees, fish...I had a fun story with each of them. They were my secondary siblings. Each taught me something new and shaped my world view in a special way. In this fast paced modern world, I believe the best way to reconnect with our authentic selves is by spending time with animals in nature. This is why I love to practice animal photography as a creative and theraputic outlet. I am so excited to put these life long skills to good use by helping you care for your animal companions. I currently work from home as a freelancer so my schedule is flexible and can be shaped to whatever your animal companion may need. I am open for boarding services as well as to stay at your home or do drop in if preferred. I have a very pet safe home. All dangerous items like plastics, potentially toxic cleaning items and things of that nature are kept in top cupboards, out of reach for any of your furry darlings. I make alot of time to play with pets and keep them engaged and happy during their stay with me. I usually ask clients for their pet's daily schedule so I can keep them in their usual routine and I very good at helping them manage any separation anxiety they may have.
“Our beloved Theo is a rescue with some fear and reactivity - so we were nervous trying to find a dog walker we could trust to help him build his confidence and care for him. Aimée won Theo’s affection and trust (and our trust!) instantaneously and has been so excellent with him! She has great instincts around Theo’s comfort levels and needs, good knowledge of dog behaviour, and is a reliable and lovely human.”

I had such an incredible experience with Diana last week. I was in a bind with travel and needed someone to stop in and walk my Golden while my husband was working. Diana made everything super easy, was very professional and sent pictures to show that all was well. My dog loved her, I will absolutely book with her again.
As a rover sitter myself, I was excited to see Mya’s profile. She’s been super great to work with, and I trust her with my behaviourally challenged foster pup. She has been compliant with my training methods to help ensure consistency, and we are so grateful. Phoebe loves seeing Mya weekly!
Kathy has been an absolutely wonderful dog walker. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she looks after. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in her care, and it is obvious from the excitement at the door that the feeling is mutual. Kathy is very communicative, flexible, and consistently goes the extra mile, whether it is providing updates, adjusting to schedule changes, or making sure each walk is engaging and safe. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely compassionate to care for their pet.
Jess continues to be such a great new friend to Lizzie. She is taking her time to get to know Lizzie in different contexts, and is dedicated to giving Lizzie the most fun she can. She is flexible, responsive, and easy to communicate with. I am happy to recommend her!
Shannon is super friendly, flexible, and punctual. She also really gets dogs as she has a dog of her own. My dog loved her and always came straight to the door when she came to pick him up. She accommodated our schedules and was always on time. We were so impressed with her professionalism that we are already trying to rebook with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon’s services and she is definitely our go to walker for the foreseeable future.
I used Amirali’s services to walk my dog, Charlie, over the past two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier. He’s very punctual, great with dogs, and his communication is excellent. I felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in good hands. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter
After just one walk, my dog couldn’t wait to see Chris again — which says everything. I have a larger dog who is also a new rescue, so finding the right fit was really important to me. Chris was absolutely perfect with him. He was kind, professional, patient, and incredibly accommodating. I truly couldn’t have chosen better. We’re already looking forward to their next walk. Highly recommend!
