“Xan was incredible! She stayed in close communication and all the little extras I asked. She was also patient with my tech problems. Highly recommend!”


2. Gabrielle M.

“Gabrielle did a fantastic job getting my dog on a couple walks to break up my long day at my sisters wedding. My dog was happy and well cared for when I came home, and Gabrielle gave updates with photos so I knew my dog was good throughout the day.”


3. Sarah M.

“Sarah has been amazing! I recently adopted a 4 year old German Shepard, and I work long hours. She’s has been great with coming over and taking my rather dog for walks, and also helping him to acclimate to being in the city. She’s very patient, and always sends pictures and updates. She has spent more time with him than she has had to, and we both appreciate her extra time and care! I will continue to have Sarah take Duke for walks!”


4. CJ (Crystal Jo) G.

“CJ is awesome! I love all the pictures and updates from each walk. CJ walks Tovah regularly twice a week and it’s been such a lifesaver. Would highly recommend”


5. Emerson E.

“Thanks for giving her the extra time and I believe a good running experience for Maddie and being on time and attentive.”


6. Regina M.

“Regina has been walking my dog three days a week for about a month now and she has been amazing. She’s reliable, responsible, on time and communicative. She’s also been flexible when my schedule has unexpectedly changed. I’ve never had to trust someone else with my dog before so I was a bit nervous hiring a dog walker, but Regina has been a huge help and I’m so glad I found her. I would definitely recommend Regina for your pet care needs.”


7. Sara N.

“Super helpful on such short notice!”


8. Lisa S.

“I can tell how much Dottie loves Lisa in all the pictures and updates I get. It’s priceless knowing my dog is happy and safe while I’m at work.”


9. Amelia O.
“Amelia has been such a wonderful caregiver for our boisterous, emotionally-needy 90 lb. labrador! We had her care for our pup at our house while we went on an out-of-town trip, and came back to everything looking just as we left it and our pup happy and healthy. She even gave us some great recommendations for enrichment activities that would suit his particular personality. She has a real way with animals, a ton of experience to back it up, and clearly cares deeply for the dogs in her care. She has a gentle, calm presence as well, which I think is a great asset when taking care of dogs. We are so grateful to have found her!”


10. Laura F.

“Laura is an excellent dog walker! She took a preliminary walk with us to learn my dog’s habits and routines, and was great at communicating upcoming schedules. My dog was so happy to see her and walk with her each day and I got great updates. I would highly recommend Laura for dog walking or dog sitting.”


11. Amy P.

“Amy is great - my 2 large retrievers really like her and are very excited when she comes to walk them. They are kind of psycho sometimes and each have very different personalities and she takes it all in stride. We’ve only worked with her for about a month but I appreciate her flexibility and her ease with big dogs. I hope to continue working together and would highly recommend Amy!”


12. Renee D.
“Renee is an exceptionally mature young woman and people can rely on her. She LOVES dogs and always has since she was a young girl. She is so good with both of our dogs, they can't get enough of her. We have two rescue dogs with two very different personalities and she meets all of their needs. I trust her 100% to care for our dogs and know that they will be treated with the utmost love & attention. I highly recommend Renee for any pet care jobs. Melanie D.”


13. Kristina C.
“Who to leave your 4 legged son with? KRISTINA, that’s who. WHY?? Loved, cuddled, bonded, took him on long walks, short walks and when she left, he looked for her for days. Handled every situation maturely and solved any of Kibas needs effectively. Kristina is a kind, responsible young lady able to cae for any dog. THANK YOU.”


14. Summer S.


“Summer was timely, kind and responsible with our dog Piper’s walk! She sent picture updates and Piper was very happy and relaxed when we came home. We’ve already asked her to come back again!”


15. Autumn C.


“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.”




16. Alaijah G.
“AJ is an exceptional caregiver! She puts her heart and soul into every creature she cares for. From the moment she started caring for my Jojo, I never doubted that she was in great hands. AJ is responsible, communicative, and genuinely eager to love our fur family members. You and your pets will love her immediately!”


17. jessica k.

“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!”


18. Brooke O.
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.


19. Sarah J.

“Sarah was great in helping us to walk and feed our dogs while we were out of town. She sent us lots of great photos of their walks and made sure they were comfortable and loved.”


20. Eleanor & Tim P.

“Eleanor has been a wonderful, thoughtful walker for my nervous senior dog and a pinch hitter in terms of helping out when I asked for help on a relatively short notice. My dog and I are very grateful for her help!”
