2. Mary O.

“Mary has been a great dog walker for our kid Marshall. She’s attentive, courteous, and Marshall enjoyed his time with her. She will be walking him on a weekly basis to give him a break from long days at doggy daycare. She sent lots of photos and videos which was perfect and eased my mind! Looking forward to working with Mary more!”

“My dogs love Felicitas so much! I've had such piece of mind knowing that they are being taken care of and loved on while I'm out of town. She's the best”


4. Joselyn I.

“Joselyn is great with our dog. She is very warm and understanding. She is happy to accommodate our routine and requests. She is very communicative, asking any questions that will benefit our dog's experience and sending recaps of each walk. I highly recommend Joselyn.”


5. Arianna G.

“Arianna gets all the stars and then some!! She is the VERY best!! Her communication, animal skills, and all around genuine kindness are top notch!! I worked in a small animal veterinary hospital for about six months back in the day and intially w/out further info except reviews etc. here on ROVER, from the begining, I could tell Arianna has that natural intuition+. My pup is actually a bit of a larger(~95lbs.) older guy(~10-11yr's old). He's a sweety but still very tenacious and can be a handful especially at the beginning of his walk or if he sees another neighborhood K-9 friend along the way he really wants to just say hi to. Arianna handles him w/zero issue though. Even my wife who's used to walking him finds it difficult but Arianna has a way about it that just plain works. I applaud Arianna, suggest her to anyone/everyone, and highly recommend her to potential ROVER clientel. Choose Arianna and you'll be more than happy you did. I know I am!!:) Thank you SO much, Arianna!!!! Herbie looks forward to all his future adventures w/you and is happier overall every day he gets to go:):):)”

“Noel did a wonderful job walking Gigi while I fostered her. She was very caring and attentive to Gigi and I appreciate it. I highly recommend Noel if you're looking for a reliable and caring person to watch your pet.”


7. Tishea H.
“I was hesitant to leave my older baby while i traveled. TiShea did such a great job making me feel at ease and comfortable. She was kind and polite and immediately my dog fell in love with her. My baby is 13 years old and is very important to me, TiShea kept communicating with me and ensured me my baby was in good hands. She was gentle and i think my dog may have wanted to stay longer than required. I would absolutely utilize TiShea again and recommend her to care for pets of all ages as she is so comforting, responsible and thorough!”


8. Claire P.

“Both my dog and I think Claire is the best! She was professional, prompt and a good communicator. And - she went above and beyond - giving Coltrane long walks and lots of attention. I totally recommend her and Coltrane gives her a big paws up, too!”


9. Holly B.

“Holly has been so wonderful to work with. She responds quickly to messages and has been very accommodating to our crazy schedule. Holly has been great about sending pictures and updates from the walk, which is great to see while we're at work! Merlyn loves her!”

Doogie, my dog, really loves her; they practically jump every time they see each other. As for her animals she takes very good care of them. Her three Sugar Gliders are very difficult to care for but she takes it with stride, giving them some of the best lives. She is also very friendly and funny.”
