1. Hannah U.
“Hannah picked up Linus and walked him on time, as requested! Hannah clearly loves pups and I look forward to utilizing her services regularly. Thanks, Hannah! ?”
2. Natasha H.
“I forgot to mention in my last review that Natasha takes the best pictures. She also gives my dog a daily grade which let's me know how her training is progressing and makes the daily report feel like a report card from school, which I adore. Natasha is amazing, patient, reliable, communicative, honest, caring, truly a dream and a blessing of a dog walker. Her daily reports are detailed, cumulative, and progressive. I really couldn't ask for more.”
3. Charles S.
“Charles is absolutely amazing with Guzzie! He has loads of experience with big, high energy dogs and knows just what to do. Charles is immensely reliable — always on time, walks for the full 30 min, and is extremely communicative and kind. I recommend him to anyone looking for great pet care!”
4. Asami M.
“I was delighted with Asami’s interaction with my pup Nanner. It's undeniable that she has deep connection with animals. My dog took to her right away, I’m sure the treats she offered helped, but even before that Nanner was in love. After her long walk, Nanner sat by the door waiting for Asami to come back. We’ll be using Asami for our dog walks going forward and hopefully for dog sitting as well. Highly recommend this dog whisperer.”
5. Deb W.
“Deb took my 8 year old Aussie for our first rover walk today. She came before the walk when I was home for a meet and greet the previous week. Deb messaged me to let me know she arrived for the walk and sent detailed updates with photos. Tesla can be shy, but Deb did a great job! My Tesla was happy when I got home from classes this evening and napped while I did homework indicating so got good exercise today! Thanks Deb, looking forward to our weekly walks :)”
6. Chance A.
“Rosie’s now a happy dog! My three legged rescue is very leery of people yet took to Chance right away. He is very calm and unassuming, which I feel puts Rosie at ease. She is thrilled to be walked by Chance and waits by the door when I mention his name. I receive updates, photos and many details of each walk. It is comforting that Rosie is getting exercise with someone we both trust.”
7. Ian S.
“Ian was very helpful and flexible in taking care of our dog and adjusted his schedule to help us out as another pet friend joined our family. We will use again in the future.”

“Cynthia responded quickly to a last minute request for a weeklong daily commitment! And did a great job walking Joy (I can only assume, no complaints from the doggy)”
10. Ursula F.

12. Miranda Y.
“Miranda is a phenomenal person who really goes the extra mile to make sure my that my dog is tuckered out and happy during my long work days. Super communicative, very flexible with changes in plans related to weather (my dog isn’t a fan of the rain), and she has helped my dog get some good dog playtime in during playdates with her puppy.”
13. Mathew H.
“Mathew was so thoughtful in getting to know our pup and making sure he was well-exercised while we were away. He provided great notes and pics so I didn’t worry or wonder whether our silly pibble was behaving himself, lol. Thanks Mathew!”
14. Jess S.
“Wonderful experience as always with Jess! She sends lots of pics and updates to let us know how things are going, and is very flexible with our last minute bookings. I would highly recommend Jess to any other Portlanders looking for someone to watch after their pups!”
15. Eric N.
“Eric was timely and did a great job working with my pup. He gave a good walk and offered future park visits and/or runs to keep my active dog engaged.”
16. Caroline B.
“My dog Moose is like my baby boy. Knowing I had a trustworthy, reliable and caring person, such as Caroline, while I lived in Portland, to walk or watch him just meant everything to me. Moose could sense her love for animals, especially dogs and they became instant friends! Caroline leads an active lifestyle, so she was a perfect match for my rambunctious labradoodle. I also appreciated all her feedback about her time spent with Moose and looked forward to the pics she sent as well. Knowing that Moose was safe and enjoying his time with Caroline made me feel less guilty about going off to work. I highly recommend Caroline and know she'd be a great asset to Rover!”
17. Rachel L.

18. Desiré D.

19. Julia W.
“Julia is such a great and caring person, she’s very flexible with my schedule and responsive to text. She sent me super cute pictures of my dog on their walk. I would definitely be reaching out again for dog walking and potentially dog sitting if needed in the future.”
