“Amanda has been consistently walking Gizmo and has been nothing but reliable and patient. Gizmo can be a bit of a handful, but she manages him so well and always takes great care of him. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone I trust. I feel very lucky to have found her on Rover!”
“We booked Yvonne for both our dogs this week and she is phenomenal! Our Kai is on the extremely shy side but she was able to take care of him and walk him!! She kept us updated and went above and beyond taking care of them. Will definitely rebook!”
“Stacey Stacy Stacy! Was absolutely incredible! She walked our dog Lylah twice a day for four days while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lylah can be very territorial at first, but Stacy was so patient and warm by the end of the trip, lylah didn’t want her to leave! She even tried to walk out the door with her on the last day. That’s how much she loved her. We’re so grateful for the love and care Stacy gave our girl and our cat Levi. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be booking her again for our next vacation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly connected with dogs& cats. Thanks again, Stacy.. you’re the best!”
“Sherri did a terrific job dog sitting my miniature dachshund. I had Sherri come by to take my dog out for potty and she even took out our other dog too! She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures during her visits. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“I went out of town for work and contacted Nicole the day before. She was extremely friendly and flexible with her time. She met myself and Denver prior to my trip to introduce herself and meet the pup! Excellent service. I greatly appreciate her time and service while I was away. Thank you, Nicole!”
“We cannot say enough about how awesome Amanda is! She is so sweet!! She came twice a day to walk my mom's papillon for a good halfhour each time and little Courtney just loves Amanda! As I live out of town, finding Amanda to walk my mom's pupper was an absolute godsend!! As I'm the one with the River app, I had great peace of mind getting the daily updates that she was picking up and returning little Courtney and the daily pics were nice to get too! We will definitely rebook with Amanda anytime we need her because of the great care she took of Courtney.”
About: Throughout my whole life I have always had my own dog to take care of since the age of 5.

“Madison has taken great care of Franky. He's had a tough time with me no longer working from home, but Madison's visits have been very helpful for him. She has gone above and beyond in making sure he is comfortable on his walks. Could not recommend Madison highly enough!”
“New to the area and I am VERY skeptical about strangers watching my dogs. Let me just say how thankful I am to have met Carolina! She has been such a life saver, and she spoils & treats my boy as if he is her own. She is Reliable, great at communicating, sends updates (photos) and overall a very sweet person. I will definitely continue to use her for all of my weekly walks/stays. Thank you for watching my Buddy ?❤️”

I had a great experience with Stacey and would absolutely book again. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy while I was away. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Sherri did a terrific job dog sitting my miniature dachshund. I had Sherri come by to take my dog out for potty and she even took out our other dog too! She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures during her visits. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
On a very short notice(less than 24 hours) Kyra saved the day by keeping Coco safe and comfortable at our home while my wife and I moved our youngest son into college. Kyra went above and beyond, making sure we were up to date on how Coco was doing. Thank you for a great job! Our first Rover experience was awesome.
I couldn’t be happier with the dog walking service! He was fantastic with my husky and schnauzer, always on time and full of energy. He sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
