“This was my first time using a service to walk my dog. I was nervous because my dog can be a lot to handle. However, Moriah put my nerves at ease. She was great. She communicated well, sent updates, arrived on time, and sent pictures of my dog during the walk. Bonnie was eager to go on walks with her every day. I highly recommend her for walking your dog.”
“Thank you Joseph for always having such great communication and being so flexible! I know my dogs are in great hands with him. Book him if you need help with your pets!”
About: I've worked with or had pets of my own for years and I've gone through training for my fearful reactive dog so I know each per deserves personalized care! Puzzle toys? Long walks? Cuddles? No cuddles? All good here. I work part time currently so it's best we figure out beforehand if I can meet your pets needs! Typically on a workday I'd be unable to stop by for 8 hours out of the day. Let me know if they need more care please! I can accommodate whatever you need, let's discuss! I'm pretty active but I'm also a fairly quiet person when the occasion calls for it, so I guess I'm adaptable! I can't host other pets currently.
About: I'm super passionate about giving animals the TLC they deserve. With my experience with dog walking, general animal care, and overnight pet sitting, I've got a solid understanding of what it takes to make pets feel safe and happy. I'm all about providing a fun, comfortable, and loving environment for your fur babies, and I'm happy to share more about my experience if needed At the moment, the animals in my household are my parents pets, so my current animal care is only needed when asked. I have cared for many animals throughout my life. I have been the individual that my friends and family recommend to their friends and family for pet care for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and rodents. I have nothing but love and respect for animals. I’m new to this service but I’m very much looking forward to meeting you and your animal friends!
“deandra has a great vibe and immediately made me feel relaxed immediately with her taking care of my pups. she followed my instructions to a tee and my pups seemed to really enjoy her!”
“Midori took excellent care walking and feeding our dog Cujo! Midori’s pictures and messages about Cujo’s walks helped us feel safer about being away. Cujo isn’t the easiest dog to walk too but Midori seemed to have no problems keeping her happy!”
About: Hello, my name is Liv and I would be love to take care of your pet! Taking care of animals is an absolute joy for me. I would treat them as my own and will make sure that at the end of the day he/she is not only taken care of but is content from being played with all day. Belly rubs and ear massages will be the norm! I grew up with plenty of dogs in my life and got my own dog last year, Bonita, who I consider family. She’s very accustomed to having other dogs around and loves playing but will back off if the dog doesn’t want to play. I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures and videos of your pet playing with Bonita and on walks. I will answer any messages in a timely fashion and will alert you of any possible issues. Walks would have some great scenery and breaks for water. I’m always hyper aware of my surroundings and will make sure to keep the dog safe in my care. Thank you for considering me, feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Since I also have a dog, I’m used to a consistent morning and evening schedule. I don’t have a full time job so I’m almost always home and I make sure to be back for dinner/potty break if I’m out of the house. I will make sure to administer any medications as instructed. I’ll love your pet like my own! If boarding, Im on the second floor of my apartment building and it’s completely gated so the building is fairly secure. If I’m house sitting I always make sure to clean up after myself and leave the place better than I left it
“Isabella is a great dog walker and I will certainly book with her again. She met me last minute the night before a trip and was patient with me and Alder as she learned and asked all the right questions. I felt secure with Isabella with my pup! Thanks so much!”
“Yana is amazing! She goes out of her way and you can tell she really cares for all animals. Super punctual, always communicates and is just a sweet person all around. I’m a repeat customer!”
“Saron went far above and beyond what would be expected of a walker. I am so grateful for Saron's care, sensitivity, kindness, and consideration. I would recommend Saron to anyone needing a dog walker, it is clear that your dog's safety and well-being will be of highest priority.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 5 years old and love animals! I have experience with bathing, playing, training, and also delivering puppies. I've always been the first person to volunteer to pet-sit for my family and friends. I'm currently in LA for the summer for an internship and would love to fill my free time up with some pet cuddles! Whether it be a dog or cat, I truly love being around animals and would love to help someone's pet feel loved while they're away. I always make sure pets in my care are in my line of sight and consistently check their food & water bowls to make sure they're eating or if they may be hungry. Along with this, I make an effort to be energetic (depending on the pet’s personality) and give them at least a couple of hours of enrichment.
About: I’ve trained and cared for two family dogs, teaching basic commands and providing consistent, loving attention. I also regularly babysit my uncle’s dog, ensuring safety, comfort, and personalized care. I’m available to babysit anytime on weekends, providing flexible and reliable care. While I work full-time Monday through Friday, I can also offer evening pet care as needed. I prioritize safety by pet-proofing my home and following all client instructions carefully. I create a calm, clean environment where pets feel secure and comfortable, building trust through consistent care and clear communication.
About: I've been around dogs since I was a kid. Growing up, my parents always had a mix of large and small dog breeds of all energy and training levels. We've cared for both puppies and seniors. As an adult, I now have my own sweet boy named Woody who you'll find in my photos; Woody is a rescued GSD and came to us very anxious and leash reactive, so I am used to all kinds of behaviors and have a lot of patience. I have experience training and caring for all kinds of dogs with all sorts of personality types and have yet to meet a dog I truly dislike. At the end of the day I believe in always leading with empathy, high energy, and patience. I work from home everyday with a very flexible schedule that can easily work around whatever days I am caring for pets. I also have a good deal of flexible free time to walk, feed, care, and play with whatever dog I'm watching. I live in an apartment with no large, open windows. I have space to crate or separate a dog if need be. The apartment has space for any crates, beds, or extra toys the pet parent may want to bring. We also don't have any dangerous objects or substances ever within reach, including things like food, poisonous plants, etc.
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
MInh was INCREDIBLE. She walked my dog every day for a week and my dog loved her. She sent lots of pictures and updated me on the goings on of the walk and how my dog was doing. She took great care with both my dog and my house and I be hiring her again in the future. Plus she was super kind and had a great energy about her. Thanks Minh!
Charlotte is absolutely fantastic—the best dog walker ever! She has been walking my high-energy, 1-year-old husky puppy, Maverick, for a month now and consistently goes the extra mile. When I sprained my foot, Charlotte even cleaned up Maverick’s mess in my apartment and grabbed my grocery essentials so I wouldn't stress. Maverick is super hyper and prone to pulling, but Charlotte is incredibly patient and kind. She actively trains him to focus and calm down. They have built a wonderful bond, and he gets so excited the second he sees her! She is completely reliable, always goes above and beyond, and walks him way longer to ensure he burns off his energy and gets a great, happy workout. She truly treats him like her own. I always have total peace of mind knowing Maverick is in such caring hands, especially she also communicates so well and sends great photo and video updates. I highly recommend her! Extremely grateful to have found Charlotte—she truly loves animals and is exceptionally genuine and caring.
Lily was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and my pup immediately took to her. She was very communicative, flexible with scheduling, and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. I felt 100% confident having my pup in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
I had a great experience with Mariajose. She took Coco out for a 30-minute walk while I was at a family gathering, and I could tell Coco really enjoyed their time together. Mariajose was kind, reliable, and kept me informed, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Coco was getting some exercise in my absence. I would definitely recommend Mariajose to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker, even for a one-time service.
Lillian did an amazing job with my dog Mango! Mango can get scared and bark at new people in her home but Lillian was super patient and understanding. I could clearly tell she has a lot of experience working with dogs and is an animal lover. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future dog walking services!
