“We recently hired Claudine as our weekly dog walker and were extremely happy with how the first week went. Our dog, Buster, is a recent adoption, and we were unsure how he would take to a new person walking him when we went back to work, but Claudine was great with him. She was patient and understanding, really taking in his needs to ensure that he felt safe and happy. We are delighted to have Claudine as part of our weekly walking routine with Buster and would highly recommend her for anyone looking into this service.”
“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”
“Elissa is amazing! She is super nice and very responsible. She walks my dog several times a week and I never had an issue. Always on time and she makes sure he gets good exercise and some play time. Highly recommend!”
“Kyra is wonderful and reliable and my Scarlett had some belly issues that altered my plans so Kyra’s flexibility was a blessing! Scarlett was well cared for and in good hands!”
“Dee is a 5 star animal advocate and amazing person! We dogs absolutely love her! We use Dee in a weekly basis for over a year. She is reliable, compassionate and a wonderful resource!!!!!!”
“I was a bit nervous to use this service as Im very new to owning a dog, my friend introduced me to the app, and Im so happy I found Jonny. I can’t recommend Jonny highly enough! My experience has been fantastic. Jonny is incredibly reliable, always showing up on time, and very polite. My dog absolutely enjoys his walks as well. Jonny also provides detailed updates and photos after each walk, which I appreciate. Five stars all the way!”
“I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have always loved fur babies and have worked with all different age groups and energy types! I love learning about every pet's story and what makes them special. I am home for the summer from college, so I typically have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. I will be going back to school in mid-August. Every pet has different needs and boundaries, and I always aim to respect their trust. My own dog was very anti-social with people and other pets, so I know how to navigate those difficult interactions and make them feel safe.
About: Multiple years of pet sitting as well as dog daycare work. Capable and experienced with multiple breeds and sizes of dogs. Available most days of the week. Available most days and times for work. Can work flexible hours if needed later in the day or earlier in the morning. Schedule may vary. Pets are always a priority. When housesitting I always ensure to maintain and respect my surroundings and the needs of the pets in the house.
“Jon was a life saver today! We needed help last minute, and he totally came through. I didn’t get to meet him, but he was so communicative through the phone that I truly felt that I could trust him. He sent lots of pictures and lots of feedback on the walks, which I appreciate a lot! Thank you so much Jon!!!”
“Booked last minute. Geoff communicated quickly, followed all instructions & took good care of my pup. He was very punctual and Fanta had a great time with him. Thank you”
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

I’m home recovering from surgery and had never used Rover before, so I was really nervous about booking in general. Katie was beyond sweet, patient, and treated Curley so kindly. The first day, she brought her daughter, who was also the sweetest and such a bonus since Curley loves kids! They communicated with me and shared the cutest pictures. I felt really comfortable having them walk Curley and will definitely continue booking with them ☺️

I was so thankful to have found Maureen to walk my dog, Jimmy, during my surgical recovery when I was not permitted to walk the dog on a leash. Having Maureen walk the dog during my recovery reduced a lot of stress so that I could recover more quickly. She is an incredible, punctual, flexible, and trustworthy dog walker. She truly loved Jimmy, who gave her kisses after every walk. Maureen followed all my direction for caring for Jimmy. What was most incredible was that Maureen walked Jimmy through the extremely cold weather that we just experienced. She went above and beyond in walking Jimmy through these cold temperatures by wrapping him in a fleece blanket and carrying him to spots where he could poop and pee. Maureen is highly professional and will go the extra mile to take loving care for your dog. I would highly recommend her and would book her again to take care of Jimmy.

Our pet is friendly, well-socialized, and used to a consistent routine. They respond well to structure, positive reinforcement, and regular activity, and they do best with someone who is attentive and patient. Dayra was a great fit because she is responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She’s attentive to details, follows routines carefully, and is very observant of behavior and needs. Dayra is calm, trustworthy, and takes commitment seriously, which makes her well-suited to providing a safe, caring, and stable environment for our pet.
