“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”

“Dominique was great with Bear! He accommodated Bear’s grumpiness and was attentive to my concerns! He went above and beyond! Highly recommend him as your walker!”


“Marina was fantastic with Jasper, and very helpful and willing to walk him at the last minute. We brought Jasper home on a weekend and had not yet set up services with a regular dog, so it was a bit of an emergency and Marina was very understanding and warm with him! From the pictures she sent each day, he looked like he was having a great time with her. Jasper would love to spend time with Marina again, anytime!”

“Anja did an excellent job walking Maverick. She’s timely, communicative, and so sweet with my pup! Mav and I hope to see Anja again soon and I highly recommend her!”

“Brittany walked my dog Karuna every afternoon during a busy work week for me. She was very communicative and shared details from every walk. I’m grateful for the attention she gave Karuna and Karuna is very thankful for all the belly rubs!”

“Very friendly and professional, asked great questions during a meet and greet with our large dog that showed effort and care. Very excited to have her walk out dog more in the future!”

“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”

About: I've been taking care of pets in my neighborhood and with friends/family since I was 10, and I've really built up a passion and know-how for animal care. Here's what I'm good at: * I've got experience with all sorts of dogs, from bouncy puppies to chill older dogs, so I can figure out what each one needs. * Cats of every age, from playful kittens to senior felines – I get their needs. * I'm also really good at caring for senior dogs and cats, making sure they're comfy and happy with special routines. As I am currently unemployed, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most day and night requests, whether it's a midday walk or vacation check-ins. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I am meticulous about following all pre-established rules of the home and pet, ensuring a comfortable and secure environment for them. I am also flexible and adaptable, willing to adjust to the specific needs and preferences of each animal and their owners.
“Lianna has been great so far with Tucker! First and foremost, she really impressed me with our meet and greet. Asking such thoughtful questions, she showed how dedicated she was to providing the absolute best care to Tucker! With every walk since, Lianna has been diligent about updating me and even going as far as working on some training with Tuck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind care provider for their fur babies!”

“Christopher was able to accommodate a last minute booking for a walk and came on time despite me giving the wrong address. Really appreciate his flexibility and he was great with our dog!”

About: I’ve been a cat lover since I was a kid. I grew up with two cats, when I went to college I volunteered at a cat shelter, and since college I have worked as a cat sitter. I also have experience dog walking and have lived with dogs in the past. I work from home so my time is very flexible. Looking for opportunities to get out of my apartment and pet sitting is the perfect reason. I will not be providing pet sitting services in my home. I live in a small apartment and do not have room for more animals than the one I have.
“It was my first time using Rover and Taylor made the whole experience incredibly smooth! My dog came back still very excited after her 30 min walk. The communication was very prompt given I requested it the same day. She was very friendly! I would definitely recommend and book again!”

About: With over a decade of dedicated pet sitting and dog walking experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to the care of your beloved furry companions. Having had both cats and dogs of my own, I understand the unique needs and characteristics of each species. My expertise extends to catering to the diverse requirements of high-energy dogs, ensuring they receive the exercise and stimulation they crave, as well as providing gentle and attentive care to more senior animals. I've had the pleasure of working with pets of all sizes, ages, and needs, fostering a deep appreciation for the individuality of each animal. Your pets are not just animals to me; they are cherished members of the family, and I am committed to providing them with the love and care they deserve. I work from home 4 out of the 5 week days so I am available during the day for your pet for bathroom breaks, walks, and feeding. With a strong commitment to being attentive and reliable, I ensure that your dogs receive the utmost care and attention during my watch. Whether it's adhering to their feeding schedules, providing regular exercise tailored to their needs, or maintaining a safe and comfortable environment indoors, I extend the same level of dedication to their well-being when we venture outside, such as during walks. I approach dog sitting with a genuine love for animals, and I take pride in being a dependable caregiver who goes the extra mile to make sure your dogs feel happy and content in your absence.

Tyler is phenomenal with our dog, Daisy! She is stubborn, high energy, and never wants walls to end. Tyler never batted an eye at Daisy’s personality and needs! He responded quickly to my request, came by the same day to meet us and Daisy, and is very responsive. Durning the snow and ice, Tyler had no issues getting Daisy’s booties and coat on her. He never kept her out too long in the cold and always gave her attention and a treat when they got back. Tyler is very responsive and flexible. It is hard trusting someone else with your dog, but Tyler made us feel good about it and Daisy loves when he comes to walk her! Overall, I cannot recommend Tyler enough for your dog care needs.

Shereen was absolutely amazing with Buster. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring. She kept me updated throughout the stay and made it obvious that Buster was getting plenty of attention, care, and affection. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. Shereen treated Buster like her own, and I couldn’t ask for more. I would 100% trust Shereen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Buster can’t wait to see her again!

Melati is a wonderful dog walker and I highly recommend her. She is kind, attentive, and truly thoughtful. During our initial meeting, she asked detailed questions to ensure my dog would receive the best possible care. My dog is usually pretty anxious, but he cozied right up to her. She made sure my dog got great exercise, as he’s always happily tired when he gets home. Melati kept me up to date on everything while she was with him. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely recommend her!

Kaitlyn is amazing! She’s responsive, walks you through the process to make you feel comfortable about your fur baby, sends pictures and updates after every walk. I can tell she takes care of our pets very much as my boy literally gets so happy every time he sees her! I would and will definitely recommend her to everyone, you wouldn’t regret!
