Songhao L.
“Alex is a loving and responsible pet caregiver with years of experience. He has two cats and a dog, including an 11-year-old Persian cat Alex has cared for since he was just 3 months old. Alex also adopted an orange tabby from a local shelter, showing his compassion for animals in need. Out of his sincere love in animals, Alex chose to adopt a German Shepherd. He has been traveling an hour every Sunday morning to take the dog to the training sessions, and Alex has spent most of his spare time into training and accompanying his pets. His pets are happy, healthy, and well-loved—any pet in Alex’s care will be in excellent hands.”

Willowdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Joanna had a fantastic walk with Mani. She was very thoughtful about discussing his particular habits, triggers, and needs. She kept Mani safe and happy, and provided him with the exercise and outdoor walking experience he needed. I felt confident and comfortable, and would definitely use Joanna again.
Ali was so good with Molokai who is sometimes shy. Molokai was very comfortable and happy right away. Ali paid attention to Molokai's specific needs and tendencies, and sent many photos and videos to reassure me that he was in good hands. I would highly recommend Ali for dog walking!
Stacey has been an absolutely wonderful dog walker for my dog, Bruce, over the past three months. She is incredibly reliable, professional, and truly caring. It's such a comfort knowing Bruce is in her capable hands. Stacey consistently arrives on time, provides great updates, and always ensures Bruce is happy and well-exercised. Bruce clearly adores her, and I've seen a noticeable improvement in his energy and demeanor. I highly recommend Stacey for her trustworthy and compassionate service. Thank you for taking such great care of Bruce!
Emma was outstanding. She walked Rip on time, gave me a detailed update of the walk and attended to his needs very carefully. With the extreme heat, she paid attention to how Rip responded and walked him accordingly. Rip was very comfortable with Emma and even excited to spend time with her. I will definitely rebook her and I highly recommend Emma to anyone else.
Eriko was amazing! She sent me updated via pics and videos throughout the whole visit and asked questions when she wasn’t sure. She even went above and beyond to do a meet up with me and my dog prior to the booking. Will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much Eriko 🥰
My dog Benjy just loves Nancy. Having dogs herself, she knows how to read the moods and personality of my pup. Nancy was super responsible, arriving on time, giving Benjy a good walk while attentive to his needs (he's 14), sharing updates. He loves her! All in all, I would definitely book again with Nancy
