“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with many animals in my house including dogs of all sizes and breeds. Every animal was well taken care of and properly trained. I am available throughout the day and night for periodic check in’s and walks. I am free all day on the weekends and can do holidays as well. My pets always come first. I pay attention to their every need and make sure they are as comfortable and happy as possible. I always go the extra mile to ensure proper care.
“Jean was so prompt with responding to my walk request! She was so professional and just an all-round bubbly person. Will definitely be reaching out to her again with help in caring for our pup!”
“Charles has been walking my dog Maple for about two weeks and he is great with her. She's a pretty shy dog but he is patient and kind with her. He sends me updates each day. Highly recommended!”
About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was around 14, and I dogsit a family friends big dogs. Having stubborn dogs has led me to have alot of patience and quick with reflexes. Gaining experience with bigger dogs that can be seen as aggressive or scary has helped me learn to be more calm and careful. Per care for me helps me also exercise too! I love going on walks with my dogs and it gives them proper outside time, instead of just putting them out back. I will ensure that I can be on alert for bathroom during the night, ensuring that they feel safe with me as well. Gaining trust is # 1.

About: Ive been pet sitting and dog walking for the past three years. I care about your pets, I am excited to make new furry friends! I am a college student with lots of free time in the afternoon and evenings. I like to get my steps in on walks throughout the day and would love to have some dogs to accompany me. I thoroughly follow instructions of how homes and pets should be cared for and treated. I like to go above and beyond of clients dog walking expectations.
“Maddy has been an amazing addition to my busy routine! Highly recommend her. My dog doesn't usually like or trust people off of her first meeting, but she instantly fell in love with Maddy.”
About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.

I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, and I’ll do everything I can to keep their routine consistent and stress-free while you're away. From morning feedings to evening cuddles, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
Columbia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lucu really helped me out greatly to walk my dog daily as I healed from orthopedic surgery for six weeks. He was always punctual, communicated fantastically and worked well with my dog. I appreciated how well he was flexible around the winter, rainy weather and always did a great job with account updates (both scheduling and payments). My whole recovery went well thanks to the wonderful service Luca consistently provided. I would highly recommend Luca to others in any capacity. Thanks so much!
Paulina was great with our dog Mulligan, and she helped us on short notice when i was scheduled to go out of town and my wife injured her shoulder and couldn't manage walks while i was away. Paulina was prompt in her replies, flexible with scheduling, and when we went on a walk together to get Mully used to someone else walking him, he took to her immediately. She was great with him, and he clearly loved walking with her. we will certainly use Paulina again if the need arises.
Jess took my booking last minute and was very punctual, knowledgeable, and overall professional! She took my two dogs for a walk while I was at work, I have one dog with some quirks and she was very kind and understanding. Definitely will book with her again in the future!
Deanna was amazing with watching our girls. During our meet and greet I could tell she was a perfect fit and she exceeded expectations. She checked in continuously throughout her time with our girls, sent photos, and took them to their favorite spots! We look forward to booking with Deanna again in the future.
