“Suzanne was wonderful with our two corgis. She came over the day before her assignment and introduced herself to the dogs. She got right down on the floor with the dogs and gave them lots of belly rubs and affection. Our male is quite a puller on the leash but she had no problems handling him. Both dogs adored her and waited for her each morning after their breakfast. She has a friendly, upbeat and nurturing voice that immediately put the dogs at ease. Plus Suzanne was always on time! My husband, their usual dog walker, was away for two weeks. Should we need any help in the future with our dogs she will be our first choice! She was great!”
“Trevor was an excellent communicator, made himself readily available, and kept the gig even when it turned out the app had misrepresented the distance between us and he had a 50-minute drive one way just to take my dogs on a walk!”
“I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!”
“I love Monique as our dog walker! My Vicky enjoys her walks and is happy when I return home! ?? I also love the comments on my Rover card from Monique! She understands my dog like a person ❤️? The best dog walker I’ve had thus far!! ??”
“Ashlynn is great!! She’s super responsive and kind. I’ve been using her for about a month now and it makes me feel so much better that I have her to walk my sweet Penny when I am at work.”
“Reyna is a phenomenal rover. Her professionalism and keen attention to detail is unmatched when dealing with my fur buddy. When I mention his rover is on the way soon, his excitement is out the roof. If you're looking for a committed rover, that communicates extremely well, ensures your fur baby is safe, and makes your life unbelievably easier. Reyna is definitely the one 🙌🏾🙌🏾”
“Tiffany was a huge help checking in on our two pups during the day! Our girls loved having her stop in. She took lots of pictures and was very detailed. Since it was so hot, she always made sure they got a water break after each walk and it was so so much appreciated! Would definitely recommend her!!!”

Nicholas is great! My dog is full of energy, and he handled him perfectly. He was on time, sent updates during the walk, and took notes on the walk. I could tell he really enjoys what he does. He even came prepared with a water bowl and poop bags! My dog came back happy and worn out. I highly recommend him and would book him again.
Kelsey has been a God-send…. This was his first time coming by since I got my fence put up. He went out and walked the perimeter of the fence before he went back in to let my puppy out to make sure the gate wasn’t open. Then proceeded to entertain my high energy pup his whole visit. Thank you so much!
