“The best!!!! Jackie is a fantastic walker for my special guy. I was able to tell how much she cares just from the meet and greet. Jackie is very punctual, reliable, and flexible. You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”
“Thomas is wonderful and won over my very shy dog quickly, was accommodating and wonderfully pleasant to work with. You’d be very lucky to have him as your dog helper when in need.”
“Jonathan has been walking Jess for the last week while I recover from surgery. And thankfully he we do the same this coming week. He has been wonderful: prompt, attentive to Jess and just a pleasure! Jess definitely looks forward to his visits and vis versa I believe. I can rest assured Jess is in good hands and concentrate on recovery instead. Thank you Jonathan!”
“Carolina is ALWAYS an excellent caretaker of my pets. She took care of my Milo, who, unfortunately, had to say goodbye to us earlier this year. Now she is navigating the ways of Ms. Moxie, my 8 year old Maltese, who she managed to win over on the first visit! Thank you Carolina!!!”
“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”
“First time meet and greet. Moe was skiddish, as expected but warmed up to Daniel pretty quickly and let him take for a nice walk. Was on time, respectful, and courteous.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs growing up with so many pets of my own. From family pets to friends and neighbors I’ve walked, feed, and bathe them all. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have a lot of free time from 8:30 to 2 o’clock and 6:00 to 9 on the weekdays. On the weekends I’m available all day. I provide loving, attentive care for your pet right in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time so they experience consistency while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
“Really glad that we found Jonny who helped us out for multiple walks with our dog. He was very responsive, always prompt, great with our dog, and flexible when our needs changed. I would recommend him to anyone and will gladly book within him again!”
About: I have two kitties of my own, but have experience with both dogs and cats, including giving extra medical attention to elderly pets. I grew up around animals and absolutely love being around all kinds of pets. Would love to help out with your fur babies! I work full remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am very communicative and responsive, and will do my best to accommodate your schedule and needs! If I am in your home, I will be respectful of your space and ensure everything is left clean and how it was upon arrival!
“We recently hired Claudine as our weekly dog walker and were extremely happy with how the first week went. Our dog, Buster, is a recent adoption, and we were unsure how he would take to a new person walking him when we went back to work, but Claudine was great with him. She was patient and understanding, really taking in his needs to ensure that he felt safe and happy. We are delighted to have Claudine as part of our weekly walking routine with Buster and would highly recommend her for anyone looking into this service.”
About: Hello, my name is Christina. I am truly a lover of animals, and have been since I was a child. I have grown up with a range of different animal companions including: dogs, guinea pigs, birds and fish. You know that person you see on the bench surrounded by pigeons because they keep breaking off pieces of their lunch to give to them? That's me! Or, that person you always see feeding the same stray cats that live in your local area? Also, me! I also happen to be a very strong advocate for the rights and well being of ALL animals and it breaks my heart to see any treated unkindly or unfairly. Work Experience: I have extensive experience working with animals. I have been volunteering at animal shelters since I was a preteen, and later went on to becoming employed as an Animal Caretaker in my adult years at ASPCA. I have worked with a variety of animals from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, turtles, and even goats. It was a very demanding job, to put it lightly. Though, most people would assume otherwise when it comes to working with animals. But, due to my experience, I know exactly how much effort and work goes into actually properly caring for an animal and catering to its distinctive needs. I was also the owner of a small dog walking/pet sitting business outside of Rover, which I did for 3 years. Lastly, I would like to mention that I am a very detail oriented person, and a bit of a perfectionist. If I do a job, I make sure I do it well. I am also immensely compassionate and emphathic when it comes to all living creatures, so I think with these skills combined, I would be perfectly fit to look after your furry, feathery or scaly friend. I'm currently available to work anytime. I am available to work on weekdays and weekends, preferably in the mornings and afternoons. I can also be available on some evenings and overnights. If I am unavailable for whatever reason, I will immediately let the client know. I will take care of pets based off exact instructions provided by clients. Typically, I would take dogs out on long walks in the surrounding areas or backyards, play with and feed all animals, and ensure that their water bowls are changed and filled with clean water, and all litter boxes, cages or tanks are cleaned. I will make sure to be vigilant when it comes to clients' pets to make certain they are safe at all times. And, you can ensure that I will leave the clients' home clean and exactly how it was found, and once finished, all doors and windows will be locked and secured to prevent possible intrusions. I am someone who always double checks to make sure a door is locked.
“Jenette is a fantastic dog walker! She was super quick to schedule a meet and greet. Was great handling our 6 mo old beagle mix and taught us a few tricks to reduce leash pulling!”
“I have used Steve’s services twice now and it has been a great experience. No hassle, reliable, loves my dog, takes him on a 2 mile walk in an hour and so far so great! He will be my go to from now on! Highly recommend!”
About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, evening house sitting, and walks. I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I have a fairly flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends for Over night House sitting, drop in visits for both cats and dogs, and dog walking! Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.
“Karin was great. She was punctual and dependable. It was her first time walking my dog, Onyx. She was kind and sensitive his needs. He was willing to walk with her even when it was raining. I hope to use Karin's services again.”
About: I come from a family of veterinarians so I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t around animals or caring for them. I’ve been lucky to have an array of pets including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, squirrels, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles and exotic fish. I’m currently in medical school and trying to earn some extra cash. I’m busy during the day due to school, but can study anywhere in the evenings to house sit. I can walk, feed, and keep pet company. I’m used to following long instructions for care, such as, different times and types of medications or supplements that need to be given.
“Sadi was great. My dog is very nice, but also has a lot of energy and can be tough to get used to in the beginning. Sadi was wonderful with my pup all weekend. Great updates and communication. Won’t hesitate to reach out for future help. Thanks Sadi.”

I’m home recovering from surgery and had never used Rover before, so I was really nervous about booking in general. Katie was beyond sweet, patient, and treated Curley so kindly. The first day, she brought her daughter, who was also the sweetest and such a bonus since Curley loves kids! They communicated with me and shared the cutest pictures. I felt really comfortable having them walk Curley and will definitely continue booking with them ☺️
Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!

Marissa has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such caring hands, and it’s obvious my dog is excited to see her every time. Marissa goes above and beyond with updates, photos, and making sure my dog gets plenty of attention and exercise. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate walker!
Carolina is fantastic and I highly recommend her! She is punctual, communicative, and our Doggo really loved his walks with her! She sent us plenty of photos of Oli on his walks and photos of him eating his dinner and drinking water. We will definitely continue to reach out to her when we need Oli to be walked! Thank you Carolina! 💕
I highly recommend Jestine to watch your pups!! She has been incredible over the last year I have been booking her for walks. She is such a sweet person, and as an anxious dog mom, she never gives me a reason to worry! Definitely book with Jestine, she’s the best!
E has been a fantastic dog walker for my dog, Zholbarys. He took the time to understand his personality and quickly built a great bond with him. Zholbarys always comes back happy and well-exercised. E is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker.
We had a fantastic experience with Tom and can’t recommend him enough. He stepped in on short notice to help take care of our husky, Talc, and completely exceeded our expectations. He was reliable, communicative, and took the time to understand Talc and make him as comfortable as possible. We were especially happy to hear such positive feedback about Talc’s behavior while we were away – it showed how well Tom connected with him. We’ll certainly be reaching out again next time we need a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker for Talc. Thank you!
