“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.”


“Aislyn is lovely, she is always responsive, on time to visits, and super detailed in her updates and care. You can tell she really cares about the pups she looks after which is so important!”

“Taylor walked my pup, Shiloh today for the first time after our original meet-and-greet and I am so happy with how he was cared for. I received multiple photos from their 30-min visit and walk including ones showing their walk and him eating his lunch / having water which I loved to just establish his schedule and how he was cared for during her first visit! She followed all of the instructions I left about how to leave him, post-visit, and I felt extremely confident in the fact that Shiloh was in great hands which I feel can be hard to find. Thank you for caring for my fur-baby so well!!”

“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!”

“We had a great experience with Lexy and Robert! They came by to do a meet and greet first and we felt really comfortable with them walking Motu. They were so communicative and left great write-ups post walk.”

“Juan took such good care of mocha. He cared for him as if he was his own. I would highly recommend him if you want someone to go that extra mile for your furry friend!”

Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities.
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”


About: I love going on long, quality walks and taking special care of pets. I have most experience looking over dogs and cats, and I have no problem giving medications or cleaning up after them. I have most experience walking dogs and staying the night with dogs/cats. I am a college student working part-time, which means my schedule is open mainly in the afternoons and evenings. I have no availability during the day on Mondays or Tuesdays. I am comfortable leashing/harnessing, and I always cleaning up after them. I ensure careful watch on them if they go leashless in your yard as well, and keep safe distance from other pets who may be aggressive. I am comfortable giving them food, water, treats, and medication.

“Katherine will take such great care of your pup!! You can tell she really loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. Very communicative and reliable. Highly recommend!”

“I’m so happy we have found Molly! She walks our goldendoodle regularly and takes such good care of her. She is quick to respond and leaves us great photos and summaries in her rover cards!”

“Mike was fantastic! This was our first time using a walker for our dog and he not only made the process very easy but extremely comfortable for us. He even came and met us and our dog before we completed the booking. He was very communicative the entire time we were away and it was a huge relief to know our beloved pet was in good hands! We look forward to booking with Mike again in the future.”


About: While I am new to Rover, I have over a decade of experience raising my family dogs, Bentley (GSP), Miller (Golden Retriever), and Buddy (Golden Retriever) and walking dogs of all sizes for family friends and neighbors. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies who need structured walks and positive reinforcement to senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra patience, I adapt my care to each dog’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with harnesses, crates, administering basic medications, and reinforcing training routines to maintain consistency. Safety is always my top priority — I stay alert on walks, avoid high-traffic areas when needed, and ensure every dog is secure and comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates with photos and detailed notes so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is to make every walk safe, enriching, and full of tail wags! I am currently studying full-time while pursuing my certifications, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible weekday schedule. This flexibility enables me to accommodate my clients’ needs and provide dependable, convenient availability. I do not offer in sitting in my own home but when I am at my clients I respect their space and operate according to any instructions given.
“We have had our pup stay with Colleen and Sean in the past and they were very helpful to us when we needed a walk in a pinch. They provided excellent communication throughout the process, were on-time, and took care of our pup in some poor weather. We appreciated their assistance and we would walk or stay with them again.”

“Dominique was amazing. I was in a little bit of a bind and he came through for me. Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.”

“Our whole family loves Amanda. From the first day she came to meet our 2 pups, they immediately took to her. She’s incredibly warm and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs with different needs, as well as reliable and great with communicating. We’re very, very lucky to have her taking care of our fur babies”

Erin walks my two mini poodles 4x/week and has done so for almost 5 months now. I cannot recommend her enough! Her caring nature is evident and she is very patient with my girls (who can sometimes be shy or stubborn). Erin is also a STELLAR communicator. Whenever there is even a chance she will be late for a walk, she tells me well in advance. I trust her completely and wish I could give 6 stars!

Ilka was amazing! She is reliable, caring, understanding, and the communication was on point. She showed such care and consideration for my 13 year old partially blind heeler. I could not have asked for a better person to help take care of my baby. Thank you so much Ilka!

Elizabeth “Lisa” was wonderful walking my 3-year-old Wheaten Terrier Lottie. She took Lottie on strenuous walks, even in the rain, leaving Lottie tired and happy. Lottie was always thrilled to see Lisa and sad to see her go. I will continue using Lisa for dog walking in the coming months. Thank you!

Tyler took a very professional approach to our last minute request to help with dog walking when my husband needed to take an unscheduled trip. He was great at fitting us in and making sure our dog got a midday break. Communication was excellent. Would absolutely look for him again if the need arises
