“We were lucky to find Ian. Ian is kind and professional he really helped us out when our schedule was quite hectic. Our Buddy thoroughly enjoyed walking with him. We highly recommend Ian for dog services.”


2. Chelsea M.

“I went on an 8 day trip and Chelsea took great care of my dog. She was highly responsive, paid close attention to detail, and went above and beyond for Shinji. 10/10 would recommend! She's a great choice for your dog.”


3. Nicole J.

“Nicole was very good with Chef. She was able to respond to a last minute request and came through. She even played with Chef after the walk was done. Definitely recommend.”


4. Ciara R.
“Ciara is an excellent candidate for Rover. I've witnessed firsthand the love and care she provides for her former roommate's dog, a golden retriever. She consistently goes above and beyond to help with the dog when the owner is busy and needs assistance. It's clear that Ciara has a genuine affection for animals and is devoted to providing excellent care, and her commitment will undoubtedly translate well into her work with Rover.”


5. Erin L.


“Erin was awesome! She came over to meet Gizmo beforehand and wanted to know about the breed, his personality, his routine, it was so clear she truly cares about the pets she cares for! Gizmo loved his walks and playtime with Erin, She’s the best!”


6. Carrie M.


“Carrie certainly deserves her many fabulous reviews. Our mini-golden, Emily, loves making new friends and Carrie is clearly her new BFF! Em had a great walk, too many belly rubs to count, and as many snuggles as she wanted. Carrie was kind and attentive. We appreciated that she asked great questions to get to know our preferences and Emily's habits. We look forward to seeing her again soon!”


7. Ali D.

“Ali was very understanding, accommodating and patient with my reactive, anxious and skeptical dog. She almost never lets new people in the house so we were worried about finding a walker for her, but Ali won her trust. So grateful for Ali and I know my dog will be happy to see him again soon!”


8. Karen & Nicholas O.

“Karen and Nicholas are lifesavers! Needed a dog walker last minute, they responded quickly and were able to come the next day to walk my dog.”


9. Jenna P.

“I was in need of a dog walker after having to return to work in person several days a week. I reached out to Jenna after reading her profile. She came over to meet Guapo, my extra friendly fur-baby, and he loved her! It is a huge relief to know that she’s coming over a couple of times a week to walk him.”


10. Nicole B.

“Nicole graciously agreed to walk my dog at the last minute. She was conscientious about the dog’s needs and safety and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she could provide the best care. When it was too hot for a long walk outside, it was her idea to spend part of the time practicing training inside so my pup would still get mental stimulation. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs and is highly responsible.”


11. Shilu W.
“I highly recommend Shilu as a pet caretaker! With four cats of her own and her experience looking after my dog, she has shown incredible care and dedication to animals. She’s also experienced in administering medication, making her the perfect choice for any pet with special needs or regular care requirements.”

“Nicolle was fantastic. Super competent, very friendly and clearly has a great relationship with dogs and with my little terrier, Ruby. I recommend Nicole as a dog walker to everyone!”


13. Kristin L.

“Kristin was lovely! Excellent with Herbie even when he decided to escape his crate which was a new experience for all involved. Would absolutely book again.”


14. Natalie Q.

“Natalie is awesome! She has been so flexible with my crazy work schedule. George was a happy boy after his walk! Looking forward to rebooking soon!”


15. Heidi M.


“Heidi was available at short notice and helped me out in a tough situation. She was very professional and friendly and my pup absolutely loved her. Would recommend highly”


16. Mary N.

“Ammmmmaaaazing angel saved me from the cold and took expert care of my German Shepherd!”


17. Rachel R.

“Rachel is amazing and she is a miracle worker with Leela. She loves seeing Rachel and gets so excited for her walks. Leela can be dog reactive and Rachel does well with managing her craziness. I know Leela is safe and happy when she's with Rachel. I highly recommend her and use her for the majority of my dog walking needs.”


18. Alejandra V.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid ! My neighbors still bring me their fur babies to look after while they are gone. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats! I’m available for boarding on the weekends ☺️ I have a fenced yard and the shirlington dog park close to me! I can take your pups on walks and to the park !


19. Kristen J.

“**Best Dog Walker** Kristen was available for our last minute request and had an excellent meet and greet! She communicated great throughout each walks, rover cards and even posted multiple photos and videos. Because of the heat, she made sure that Stasi wasn’t overheating, and provided water on the walk! I felt that my dog was safe and loved the whole time. We are looking forward to booking Kristen again in the near future!”


20. Patricia S.

“Patricia was fantastic with our dog Mackey. She kept us updated with pictures and told us about their walks. She is reliable, communicative, and obviously cares a lot about making sure our dog is happy and comfortable! We will definitely be booking her again!”
