“Mila LOVED her! Like immediately! Never seen her respond so nicely within seconds to a stranger before. She could clearly sense Leticia’s good energy :) I appreciated that Leticia was available to walk her on such short notice. Mila came back tired (a sign of success) and clearly had a good walk.”
“Jessica was a terrific find and in my neighborhood. Her love of dogs is evident and Pete loves her back. He is a strong dog and she manages him well. I recommend her to anyone.”
“Dee Dee is awesome! We can always count on her for weekly weekday walks. She always gives great updates and sends pictures during each visit. Happy we came across her profile on Rover!”
“Julia even comes in the rain. She knows how to give a great rainy day outing; Malibu was so excited to see Julia and all smiles when she returned. Thank you!!”
“Melissa is so wonderful. She is always quick to respond and has great availability. Oakley always has great walks with her and we’re so happy we found her!”
“Hired Brittany to walk/play with Mason during the workday (60 minutes). He had a blast and was relaxed and tired when he came back. Brittany was timely and efficient and sent pics/update when finished. Will be hiring Brittany again.”
“Lynnette was awesome and Bruno loves playing with her. Took Bruno for a walk and took pictures and a funny video. Will continue working with Lynnette.”
“Leah is a great dog walker! She took great care of our 3 month old puppy and even played with her in the apartment after coming back from outside. She sent tons of pictures and videos during her visits that really put me at ease knowing that she was in good care while I was at work. She was really communicative and following our care instructions well. We will definitely be rebooking with Leah in the future!”
“She did a great job with my baby girl Marlene , she gave me feedback on the walk and pictures which made this process easier for me. I was working a really long shift at work and she was available exactly when I needed her. Definitely will be asking for her again.”
“Theresa is AMAZING! I used Rover for the first time last week and I was so nervous about my pup being home alone/meeting someone new but Theresa is a rockstar! My pup loved her and had a great time with Theresa. She texted me updates while I was at work and really made sure my pup was taken care of and put all my anxieties at ease. I will definitely be scheduling daily walks with Theresa!”
“Mia is so so sweet. Took so many pictures and sent updates every time she was heading to see my boy. Cannot wait to have her continue walking Remington!!”
“Kevin and his daughter gave Mila the best walk experience. She fell in love with his daughter immediately, and was excited to get started upon meeting them both! She is now home and happily panting on our cool wooden floor, clearly satisfied with her experience. (:”
“Carolina has been wonderful! She has been able to help us out in a pinch, and sends great pictures from her and Oakley’s walks. Would definitely recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
About: I would say I have a very loving and strong connection with dogs. Big, medium or small! I myself have an 8 year old pup, who’s still a baby in my heart. I love the feeling of joy when I’m around animals, so why not do more of it? :) I currently work 9am-6pm, 4 days a week. Weekends and Wednesdays I am committed to playing and enjoying time with your pups! After work, I always find just enough time to hang out with my dog. I’d love to spend some time with your dog too! I would be able to follow any and all instructions, and understand all restrictions! If needed, I would be able to take care of your fur baby at my home! I have a fairly large fence, and lots of free space for running. I know trust is a major thing, and I’d be more than grateful for your trust. As I would treat your baby, like mine!
“Max was great; he was quick to respond when we needed a dog walker and was kind enough to come over when we needed a walk for our girl in Falmouth.”
“Shara is an outstanding dog walker! Very professional. Proactively communicates and Kris me informed throughout the process and helps when I have issues with bookings or the app. She is really good with my old pitbull who really gets excited to see her! I can't recommend her enough.”
“CJ helped us out with Gearz on short notice. She followed our detailed instructions and approached walking him with enthusiasm. As Gearz is newly adopted, my husband and I were apprehensive about others spending time with Gearz without us, but she took lots of pictures to put our minds at ease. Thank you, CJ!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my dedication to their happiness and safety. I focus on building trust with both pets and their owners by being attentive, reliable, and compassionate. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Plus, I’m detail-oriented and follow all instructions to make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m currently part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m normally free most of the day weekdays and weekends. If for some reason I’m not available I’m open to negotiate. In my clients' homes, I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and safe by maintaining their usual routines and environments. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care needs. I ensure their space is clean, provide plenty of affection, and keep an eye out for any changes in their behavior or needs. My goal is to make pets feel as happy and cared for as they would if you were home.
About: I have taken my job seriously, I love pets, I am tender, loving and above all I give them security, with me they will be in good hands I’m currently working Pat-Time I’ll have plenty of time to play with your puppy I’m available for boarding on weekends after 10 a.m and weekdays after 2:30 p.m I have a large yard, where they can play and have funny time, I have all the necessary care, they will feel happy at home

“Dani is fantastic! She is super reliable and trustworthy. We have three rescue mutts with very different needs and personalities, including one who is sweet except when on leash and when she sees another dog! Another who is older and slower and worries a lot. The third is young and nervous and energetic. She handles each of them beautifully, they feel safe and happy with her and I am always grateful for her time with them.”
