“Lauren did a great job handling our 3.5 yr old pug. She has a limp from a recent injury and Lauren was great, playing with her inside rather than doing a full walk which the vet told us not to do for a while. Additionally, she did everything we asked to a T, when the request was last minute. Thank you so much Lauren!”
“Stephanie was awesome taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation. It was obvious she was experienced and enjoyed spending time with the puppies. We are already planning to reach out to her again for help in future!”
“Ashley was friendly , polite, reliable, great attitude, and my dog warmed up with her right away. Freedom had a great time on their walk and ran back to thank her so I could tell he was very happy . I would definitely recommend her as someone you can trust with your dog , even if the dog is tentative meeting new Dogwalkers! Good luck Ashley!”
“Megan is simply terrific. She replied immediately to our short notice request and gave Storm all the attention and care we would! I highly recommend her for any dog walker requests and hope she doesn’t become in too high demand (selfishly) for our future needs! Thank you Megan!!”
“Would have loved photos, but otherwise super thankful for Rachel’s help. She saved our Thanksgiving! Easy to communicate with, responsive, and showed up right on time/early.”
“Xavier was wonderful accommodating a very last minute request for a walk! He was great with communication the whole time and I came home to a happy healthy pup! Would highly recommend- thank you!!”
“Julia has walked my dog Annie a few times now and is so kind and patient with her! Annie can be a combination of a little stubborn and skeptical of new people and Julia took her time getting Annie to trust her. Annie is looking forward to her ongoing walks with her!”
“FANTASTIC! Our dog, Guinness can be a lot to handle on a walk/ run. He took to Amy immediately & she knew just how to guide him throughout his walk. He is so excited the minute she arrives that he jumps around with joy. I can’t recommend Amy enough!”
“Lily did a great job with Evie, including dealing with some unexpected separation anxiety. She was an excellent communicator and we appreciated the extra effort she put in to make sure Evie felt better.”
“Luana was great with Juarez! She followed all the coordination we had set for her. She was very attentive and careful. One of the walks, it was really hot, and she did everything she could to make sure Juarez was okay. We’ll definitely book her again.”
“Return client here! Nicholas was, as always, incredibly helpful, very professional, and had GREAT communication. I’m extremely happy with the care he provides, and my dog is always so happy to see him. He’s my #1 go to person, and will definitely be using him again!”
“I completely trust Zoe to care for my dog. She is a pro at giving oral meds in a companionate manner, and she gives me real-time updates to make sure my dog is getting everything he needs.”
About: I've cared for my family's labs my whole life & now have my own 1 year old corgi. I am an active girl and have always prioritized long walks or going to the park for proper energy release (A typical day looks like a minimum 3 walks/day). Dogs deserve a good play time rather than just sitting in the house all day! I also am experienced in bathing, feeding, and giving loving attention to dogs of all shapes and sizes. I know how hard & expensive it can get trying to book a sitter in the area as I’m often paying > 60/night for my own dog so as a result I keep my rates reasonable for exceptional care. Additionally, I know how what it's like to be a concerned pet owner when away from your dog, so I strive to send consistent updates assuring you of your pet's safety. I have availability through the end of August before I move apartments and start working as a PT full time :(. Starting in September I can only do boarding and daycare beginning after 4 pm on Friday through Monday around 10 AM. I usually have access to a car if you need me to provide transportation. I live in a spacious 2 floor apartment and am close to popular dog walking spots near the wharf. If your pet has a favorite spot I would love to take them there.

Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Snghyun has been an absolute gem of a dog walker for our pup, Milo! From day one, her communication has been clear, timely, and reassuring — we always knew when walks were happening and how Milo was doing. She’s incredibly reliable and consistent, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend Snghyun.
Umnia always takes exceptional care of my dog, in all circumstances including bad weather, overexcited puppy, minor injury, or just a bored puppy who's been left alone. She's extremely caring and communicative and I always know that my pup is in the best hands with her.
