Top rated Grand Lake dog walkers
“Shanley did such a great job with my dog, Alfie! Alfie can be nervous and shy around strangers when I’m not around and Shanley was very patient with him and took great care of him!”
“Chiel is amazing! He is super friendly, has positive energy and after meeting, I had no reservations entrusting him with my fur baby. Bowser was smitten at first sight! He enjoyed his first walk and was extremely excited to see Chiel for a second walk. I have already scheduled again. It’s difficult to choose a new walker/sitter from an app, I hope this review helps if your on the fence. You will not be disappointed!”
“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”
“Christine was absolutely amazing with my very shy/anxious dog. She was patient and gentle with her during the first meeting, and she was available last minute. Definitely recommend!”
“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”
“Adam is always quick to respond, communicative and was able to take my dog and an additional one we are dogsitting out today! And for a minor cost versus double. His style is laid back and easy while being on top of all the details. Would highly recommend!”
“Laura is very gentle, confident and attentive to all we have to tell her (which was a lot!) about our dogs. Lisah is an anxious dog but she takes up to Laura right away!! Thank You Laura!”
“Matt was excellent with our dog. Promote and punctual. The pictures should how much fun she was having with him. I would highly recommend Matt.”
“Poppy had a great time with Andrea! Andrea was very thoughtful with a quick meet and greet before coming to help out in a pinch and walk my dog for the first time. Thank you!”
“Spirit is an AMAZING dog walker! They took good care of my dog Pumba and took her to Lake Merritt most days which is Pumba’s favorite place to walk! Spirit was great about sending really sweet updates and pictures every day. They also fed Pumba breakfast before her walks which was much appreciated! I will definitely be booking with Spirit again ?”
“Erin is fantastic and takes really good care of my dog, Sansa, when I’m away. She is punctual, reliable, provides regular updates and is someone I trust to be with Sansa and makes sure she is cared for!”
“Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!”
“Robin has been great at communicating quickly, getting to know my doggo, and gaining his trust! He’s a pandemic puppy so isn’t used to a dog walker. I’m so glad she’s been able to get him going as I start to go back to work.”
“Wes and Margot had a lovely evening walk with Charlii. Thanks so much!!”
About: I've spent pretty much my entire life around dogs and cats, and I just love them! We had several growing up and I can't express how much the presence of pets has had a positive influence on my life. Any time spent with other people's pets is something I look forward to! I pet/house sit regularly for a few friends and would like to offer my services to other people (and pets) in need of a sitter. I have experience with cats, and with walking, bathing, and dietary restrictions of dogs of all sizes and am more than happy to treat them as my own. Overnights are no problem and I have a vehicle so we can go to dog beaches etc. if permitted! Dogs are also more than welcome at my house hold if that's preferred. I'm currently self-employed, and this is my slow season. I have plenty of extra time to help folks with their pets, whether it be walking their dogs or drop-ins for feline companions. I have a fenced yard, and a large crate if needed for pets. I like to create a cozy calm space for them to get to know me and their environment.
“Lauren is the most dependable dog walker I've had the pleasure of working with on the Rover platform. She never cancels without plenty notice which always gives us enough time to find a replacement if needed.”
“Lauren does a fantastic job walking our 2 small dogs. She goes above and beyond every time she is with our dogs. She sends great pictures and updates as well.”
“Ruby always shows up. So happy to have came across her profile”
“Did great walking our Pomsky Nala!”
“Ely is the best! She's everything you'd want in a sitter: trustworthy, communicative, delightful, and a genuine animal lover. I highly recommend her to care for your loved ones.”
