“Tedy did an excellent job with Peanut, including making sure his paws were wiped and he was dry after his rainy day walk. She is thoughtful and goes the extra mile one her own initiative.”
“Sin Ying is an absolute pleasure and I feel so happy she is caring for my pup Frank. He’s a little elderly and a bit of a pain in the butt - but she has been so patient with him and provides the best updates and pictures about his daily walks. She also loves on my kitty too so he never feels left out. She’s amazing!”
“We are so lucky to have you in our lives and Hollys. Thanks for the wonderful update we are so grateful. We referred our friend to you this morning do you want him to contact you via rover?”
“Ronnie was super communicative and updated me after every walk. My pup is very picky with walkers but he walked well with Ronnie. Would definitely rebook her for walks.”
About: Why Rover? My fur baby crossed the rainbow bridge at 17 years old, over a year ago. I miss my dog, but im happy that this platform gives me the opportunity to be around dogs again. About me: I work in fashion and love dogs. I wish could be surrounded by them everyday. I adore dogs of all ages, but senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m experienced in caring for seniors, including administering daily medications. I understand it’s stressful leaving your fur baby with strangers, but I’m extremely communicative and responsible. I’d treat your baby like my own. Im open to connecting prior to confirming the booking, if it helps calm any nerves. I am home most days of the week. I'm in the office 2 days per week. Fortunately my office has a relaxed pet policy, and I'm able to bring in dogs to work. I live in an apartment and believe dogs should never be crated. They’re free to roam my home and are welcome to sleep on my bed at night.
“We are very happy to have Ashley walking our dog Cagney. She is enthusiastic, kind and loving, and patient with Cagney...and with us. Cagney gets so excited when the buzzer rings and runs to greet her and is very affectionate with her. In fact, he doesn't want her to leave when the walk is over. Ashley is an asset to Rover and we look forward to continuing working with her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
I was scared to go and leave my fur baby. Jose was excellent his patience and communication skills are top notch. He keep me informed of everything he did with Nyla and he also sent plenty of photos.. I will definitely be using Jose to watch Nyla in the future. I wish I could rate him 10 stars. He deserves it.
I appreciated that she had availability on the weekend since i made sort of a last minute booking. Cosmo warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed his walk. She even made sure to wipe him down after he returned home. I would recommend to others and will rebook with Nusta in the future.
I needed a dog walker last minute, and Ashley immediately replied and made time to meet with me before the walk to go over everything. That alone made such a great first impression! From the minute Toby met her, he was excited and comfortable around her, and I knew he was in good hands. 😇 Ashley took Toby on a full hour-long walk and sent me pictures and live updates throughout. Seeing him enjoying himself gave me so much peace of mind. She even brought toys for him to play with, which was such a thoughtful touch! What stood out most was how attentive she was, both to Toby and to making sure I felt comfortable. Even with a last-minute booking, she took the time to discuss his care beforehand and kept me informed along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring, communicative dog walker. Five stars from me and a very happy Toby! 🐾⭐
Shirley is AMAZING! She’s so sweet and really attentive to the dogs needs and unique quirks. I’ve never used Rover or any dog walkers because I’ve been hesitant but she eased my anxiety and was communicative, timely, and reassuring. I highly recommend her and would rebook for when I’m off on my next trip! 🫶🏽
This is the 2nd time Mayleth has walked Mochi. She’s so patient and communicative with me by updating me with pictures and keeping Mochi safe even if she gets bursts of energy not knowing her strength as a big puppy herself. But I am confident she will never let Mochi out of her sight and protected from harm. Thank you!!
Sin Ying is an absolute pleasure and I feel so happy she is caring for my pup Frank. He’s a little elderly and a bit of a pain in the butt - but she has been so patient with him and provides the best updates and pictures about his daily walks. She also loves on my kitty too so he never feels left out. She’s amazing!
Nicole has been amazing with Eloise! She is kind, reliable, patient, and great with sending updates. If you’re looking for someone to trust your fur baby with, then you have found the right person! Nicole takes her time to walk and play with Eloise, and enjoys doing so. Eloise and I are so thankful for her!
Briana has been amazing with Eloise!! She is punctual, reliable, and takes wonderful care of my fur baby. We are so thankful to have found her. If you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy pet companion who will update you with lots of pictures, then Briana is your person!
Yanxi is so kind, caring, always punctual, and my baby boy loves her. He gets excited every time he hears her at the door, and I love having someone so reliable taking care of my fur baby. His happiness is enough for me, but it’s also just such a great help and relief to know he gets the walks he deserves when I’ve got too much going on. I highly recommend her and we are grateful to be in her continuous care.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
