“Nyree took amazing care of my fur baby and was very attentive. It’s hard to trust a stranger with your baby but Nyree made me feel very comfortable and at ease and I knew my pup was in good hands.”
“We were so happy to have Abby walk our dog. She was prompt, took her on a great 2 mile walk (thanks for the pics!), and even fed her dinner and let her outside one last time before she left. We will definitely use her again! 😉 🐾”
“Xan was great to work with! They took wonderful care of my dog and were communicative. I would definitely recommend them, and will book them again in the future.”
“Larissa is absolutely wonderful. Our dog Paco, who tends to be wary around new people, grew to love her immediately, and with good reason. Larissa is so responsible, warm, friendly and kind, and she instinctively "gets" animals. She radiates positive energy and I am SO glad we found her. Five stars across the board!”
“Lily seemed to have a great time on her walk with CJ. CJ showed up on time and asked great questions to make sure Lily was safe and happy during their time together. We got lots of pictures and Lily seemed nicely tired after.”
“We love Amy! Amy has been nothing but communicative as we figured out and got into the habit of weekly dog walking. Our dogs love their outing with her and enjoy showing/sharing all their toys with her when they return and cool down. She quickly won our dogs over and now they eagerly wait (probably counting down the minutes) for their weekly dog walk. I’d highly recommend Amy for pet care and we love having her be part of our weekly dog routine.”
“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”
“Alana is fantastic. She is so very sweet and understanding. She made sure Rocky got all the attention and care he needed. Thanks for being super communicative and sending me all the really great pictures of my boy!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with 2 dogs, a Labrador and Weenie-Mix, so I have experience with dogs of varying sizes. I have cared for rabbits and small birds, and have spent a lot of time around cats! I would love to take your pet for a walk and play, or drop-in for a check-in! My availability may look somewhat limiting, but I am typically available Monday through Thursday after 4:15; Friday after 3:15; and most of the day on the weekends. Your pet's happiness and well-being is of the upmost importance to me. I thank you for trusting me in your home and with the responsibility of caring for you pet.
“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”
About: Hi loving pet parents! My name is Brooke. I may be new to Rover, but I’m no stranger to pet care and I’m ready to become besties with your pup! I have cared for pets since I was 12-years-old, and I love all dogs, no matter the size, shape, or personality. I've grown up and cared for several breeds - from boxers, to cockapoos, to labs, to frenchies - and I am comfortable taking an energetic pup on a run, or I can be a couch-potato with a dog that loves to cuddle. It's my utmost goal to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while you're away! I work a hybrid-remote job with a flexible schedule. The longest I will be out of the house is 5 hours per day, and I am able to build my schedule around your dogs' needs! I am able to accommodate any routine your pup has, and I will give them all the love they need while you are away. I can easily crate them if needed, or stick to any feeding, exercise, and/or medication schedules you have in place.
“Ryan was our first Rover and it was a great experience! He took our pup for a nice walk, sent pics, and provided updates. We’d definitely ask him to walk her again!”
About: I’ve watched family and friends dogs for years. I enjoy being the “go-to” person to watch their pets . Love caring for and playing with dogs, talking them on walks, and playing! I have some flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays . However, I can always do afternoons walks and care and availability full time on weekends. For longer I usually watch folks dogs in their home - if that’s the preference. If your puppy needs to be just walked and fed for just the day that’s also grand!
About: I am reliable to help care for your pet. I have done pet sitting and walking for clients for 5 years. I personally have a miniature poodle and a pug ♥️ I am able to take care of your pet any day of the week. I just need to know at least 3 days ahead of time before you need me. I provide care for pets in clients homes as well as take dogs on walks. I am able to check on your pet while you are at work. I can also stay at your home if needed on weekends.
“Tiya did an amazing job walking my new pup! She kept me updated with photos and videos everyday and could tell my pup was having a great time. Will definitely be booking her again. Thank you again Tiya!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job walking our high energy dog, Isabella! She was available for a meet and greet beforehand, has been great to communicate with, and our dog was very happy after the walk. We look forward to having Jessica walk Isa again!”

Daniel helped out walking on short notice which was so helpful. Even though I couldn’t meet Daniel in person to introduce my dog, he was super responsive, communicated well, and everything went off without a hitch. I recommend Daniel and look forward to more walks from him!
