1. Lavinia W.
“Lavinia has been an amazing dog walker. I asked her to walk our dog everyday after she took care of him wonderfully while we were gone. Lavinia is communicative, punctual, and trustworthy. Our dog looks well exercised after each walk with her. She can walk our german shepherd who’s infamous for not walking with strangers. This means a lot!”
2. Lily H.
“Lily has been so awesome with our dog, Kenai! He loves her and gets so excited for his walks with her twice a week. He is already doing better on his walks and seems to be learning a lot.”
3. Liam C.
“Liam is a great, trustworthy walker. My dog’s temperament has improved since he started walking with him. Liam is great at taking pictures that I adore, and keeping a detailed log of the walk so it feels like I don’t miss out on anything. In fact, I really look forward to those reviews while I’m at work missing my fur baby! Definitely going to rebook.”

“Thank you Jack for your help and great care of our two pup! So happy we found you.”
5. Jeannette P.
“Jeanette is the best. She is so thoughtful in how she takes care of our little monster. Details like throwing ice in his bowl and making sure he is safely taken care of on a hot day mean so much to us. 🐶❤️”
6. Avery H.
“Avery is an extremely responsible person and is a great pet companion. Avery has been responsible for multiple dogs all her life and is extremely trustworthy with other people's dogs as well. She is easy to communicate with and is always happy to meet any dog she encounters! She would be a great fit for your pup.”

9. Ashton B.
About: Hi, I'm Ashton! I grew up with both cats and dogs and truly love both, as well any other furry/scaly/feathery animal you might have. I was also a nanny for about 8 years and in addition to caring for the children and the home, I took care of the pets of each family I worked for. I have experience with puppies and kittens to older, slower animals and always cater my care to a pet's unique needs and personality. I'm more than happy and able to assist with any medication administration, training, and exercising of high-energy dogs. As someone with a million photos of my cats and dog, I will also make sure you get the cutest shots of them living their best lives while you are away. Over the years of experience with child, home, and pet care, I have proved myself to be reliable and flexible and hope to gain your pets' and your trust. I look forward to meeting you! I have a flexible schedule and can be available any day of the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnights. Whether it's early mornings or late nights, I can be your reliable source for pet care! I never rush an animal to be comfortable with me but will gladly give them the love and attention they need when they're ready! I always make sure to listen closely to any guidance given to me by pet owners to make every visit go smoothly.

“Shay has taken care of my little yorkie before, and they always have so much fun! Hes a bit of a picky eater, but Shay is always very patient and makes sure he eats his food, and has plenty of walk and play time :)”
11. Randi K.
“Randi is wonderful and I highly recommend her to other loving pet parents out there! From the introduction to scheduled walks, Randi remains compassionate and caring to my pups! I wish I could take her with me to my upcoming move LOL!”
12. Breanna W.
“Breanna was a life saver- she was kind and efficient when caring for my cat. She ensured that my cat was well taken care of as I was away.”
13. Joseph O.
“Joe was great! I booked him to walk Graé several times while I flew to Detroit for an interview. Unfortunately, Graé suffered a dog attack the day before I was set to leave so that added a little more burden on Joe than anticipated. Joe walked, fed and administered Graé's meds in the evening and the morning. To make sure they got along Joe stopped by my place the night before for a meet and greet with my pup. While gone, Joes sent photos and updates to his time with him; I great help! I will definitely be using joe again if the need arises and he's available.”
14. Brittney W.
“Brittney has always done exceptionally well with our babies. She’s trained both of our dogs in obedience and social situations and I strongly believe they are thriving because of her.”
15. Elizabeth B.
“Elizabeth is great with any and all animals! She is super responsible and trustworthy with any pets. They truly will be in great hands with her!”
16. Lizabeth W.
“Liz W. loves animals. She cared for our boxer for two weeks during the dog flu pandemic a year and a half ago when we were advised not to board him. We had the trip planned prior to our adoption of Chance. Liz to the rescue!! She took great care of our home and Chance. Occasionally she will call to say hi and Chance goes nuts when he hears her voice.”
17. Danielle P.
“Danielle did a great job, our dog was happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I was able to enjoy our time away without worrying about her because Danielle sent lots of photos and updates.”
18. Camille P.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. All shapes and sizes. From Guinea pigs to chickens, pugs to pitties! Rest assured knowing that your loving pets are being cared for by an experienced hand! I am a teacher so I am available in the afternoons and weekends. With holidays, or random days off I may have more availability. Just check in! I use Rover very frequently for my own pets, so I fully understand the need for respectful and loving care. Please feel free to leave as detailed instructions as needed ( I know I do! Lol).
19. Vivica P.
“I can’t say enough good things about Vivica P.! From the moment she started caring for my pets, I knew they were in safe hands. She has a special way of connecting with animals, and it’s clear they feel loved and comfortable around her. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I love how she takes the time to understand their unique personalities and needs. Vivica’s genuine warmth and her willingness to go above and beyond make her stand out. It’s such a relief to know my furry family members are with someone who truly cares. She’s not just a fantastic caregiver; she’s an amazing person I’m grateful to have in our lives!”
