“Our dog can be very shy and nervous around new people, but with Melissa, she felt comfortable from the very beginning. It was incredible. It feels so good to have someone you can trust. Thank you, Meli.”
“Thank you so much for taking lucky on a walk!!! He looks like he had so much fun with you, and I really appreciate how you went above and beyond to refill his water, clean his paws, and help get him back in his cone post-surgery. We can’t wait til next time :)”
“Molly has been amazing! She is the perfect balance of gentle, caring and firm with our bundle of energy boarder collie. Even in some rotten weather Molly gets the pup out for some fresh air. Thank you Molly!”
“Liz is AWESOME, and we could not be more tickled to have connected with such a kind and responsive new friend! We will be calling again on our future visits to New Haven!!”
“Catie’s been fantastic! She is so kind, trustworthy, and good with our dog. Our dog has a lot of energy and needs a good walk while we’re working. Catie always brings her back well exercised and ready to nap the rest of the day!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and proud owner of a golden retriever, I understand the love and care these furry friends deserve. I am passionate about providing the best companionship, exercise, and attention to your dog—just like I do for my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your pup and giving them the attention they deserve! I’m an educator and currently have an open summer schedule to give your dog plenty of love and attention. I am open for a daily or weekly care plan. The way I care for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, depends on their specific needs and the services provided. I prioritize safety, love, and attention. I ensure they have water and food. I tailor activities to their age, breed, and health requirements—like walks, playtime, or cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep open communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.
About: I own dogs and cats of my own. Former kennel tech for a boarding and daycare facility of all dog breeds/ temperaments/sizes. Currently work with dogs. I work full-time. I work a regular 8hr shift and not super close to home. So I am usually away from 7:30am- 4:30pm. I am generally around on my off days and happy to stop by before and/or after work. Just reach out and we can try to work something out/ talk about schedules :) I usually dont do drop ins weekly so please only ask for specific dates. I am an avid hiker, so if you have an energetic friend I am more than happy to take him or her out on longer walks! But I'm also down for hugs and cuddles with senior pets or furry felines
About: I have spent 10 years of my life taking care of my own animals and families pet. On top of schooling to provide the best care possible. Currently part time, my availability is Sunday, Monday and Thursday. Hours can be interchangeable; never be afraid to ask :). Completely free those days to be attentive to your pets. I’ve had dogs all my life. I know how to play with animals for maximum exercise, can follow dietary instructions and have a deep rooted love for all species. Dogs are the babies in my home and receive the utmost care and love. Never worry about other dogs in the home or mistreatment from others.
“Mary Rose helped us out in a big way by walking and feeding our dog on a last minute request! She was a great communicator and the pup was well cared for. Thank you!”
“Jen was absolutely amazing. I was a dunce and forgot I had my old address in my profile and she was gracious enough to come to our actual place to still complete the walk even though she had arrived at my old place already. My dog is reactive to other dogs while on leash and I witnessed first hand how well she handled her while seeing another dog. I’m looking forward to using her services regularly!!”
“Ileana has been simply excellent with our anxious rescue. Our dog is not quick to make friends, but Ileana knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable from the beginning, and managed her reactivity expertly on walks. She was also prompt, communicative, and flexible with us. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Great communication, attitude and caring. Our dog is a docile but powerful dog that still has crazy puppy vibes. They were able to manage him perfectly. I will definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone with full confidence.”
“Nico is everything we could hope for in a walker. She has a great rapport with our dog, a shepherd who was guarded with her on the first walk but was totally comfortable by the third. Nico is totally reliable, knowledgeable about dogs with great common sense.”
About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.
About: I've loved animals all of my life and I have 2 cats but, I also know how to take care of dogs. Animals are a passion of mine. I do work but, I'll have time to be with your dogs. I am looking for some bonding time with dogs and to be outside with them. I have everything my pets need and I would make sure I am able to take care of your pets and make sure they have everything they need.

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
