“Kahlan was so great with my dog, Margot! She sent me plenty of photo updates and kept me updated with how Margot was doing while I was away. She was very responsive. I will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Francesca was great with our two dogs while we were away. She walked them multiple times a day and when we ran out of food she went and got food. Thank you.”


7. karen Lorena c.

“Karen was the BEST. She really cared about my dog, gave me such adorable and helpful updates on him while I was out, and took care of anything I needed. I took her number after and am definitely planning on reaching back out!!”


8. Julia D Y.

“Julia is such a caring, reliable, trustworthy Rover host. We were in a bind and asked Julia for help with walks for our two high energy dogs. Despite asking on such short notice, Julia was able to accommodate us into her schedule and took great care of our pups. She sent very detailed photos and write-ups, and even took them for a longer walk one of the days even though we only reserved a 30-minute walk. You can tell Julia really has a passion for animals. Thank you Julia, we will surely be scheduling with you again in the future!”


9. Emily C.

“Great experience. My pup was well taken cared for!”


10. Dee B.

“I had very specific needs for my two dogs with regard to rotating them and walking them, and Dee was very attentive to both my boys’ needs. I don’t trust many people with my dogs, but was in a pinch due to a last minute switch in holiday plans around Christmas - I trust Dee 100% with them. I would recommend Dee to anyone in the area who needs such services, and I have already recommended Dee to my sister. I know I can count on Dee and plan on using her services again in the future.”


11. Fernan F.

“Fernan is a pleasure to work with. He’s caring, attentive and takes his commitments seriously. He is prompt in his communication - which put me at ease from the beginning. He took the time to connect with my stubborn, (yet adorable), senior pug on their daily walks. Highly recommend Fernan for your fur baby!”


12. Emily F.

“If there was an option for more than 5 stars, Emily would be receiving them. She is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever encountered. She is kind and patient with my two older, stubborn dogs. Each week, she arrives with a smile and takes the dogs out, rain or shine, whether they want to go or not (they are quite lazy). We are incredibly fortunate to have found Emily!”


13. Aimen M.

“Aimen loves animals. He is a very reliable and conscientious person. Aimen makes sure to do a good job. He is an intelligent and caring person. Aimen would be very well-suited as a dog-sitter. I highly recommend him.”


14. Sarah N.

“Sarah was amazing!!! This was my first time using a service like this but Sarah made the experience comfortable. Her communication was prompt and the picture were adorable of my little guy. I will definitely use her again and I would recommend her to everyone I know.”


15. Faidy C.

“Faidy was very a pleasure to work with! Everything went smoothly and she put together a great rover report for us :) Billy had a great time on his walk with Faidy. Will definitely book again.”


16. Diana H.
“I can’t recommend Diana enough! She’s watched my dogs multiple times and each time, they light up the moment they see her. She’s clearly a natural with animals and genuinely loves spending time with them. I always feel completely at ease knowing my pups are in her hands!”


17. Yelyzaveta T.

“Highly recommend. Always punctual to walks and takes great care of my boy with treats and making sure he has water at home. She genuinely loves animals and it shows”


18. Yuliya D.


“Super reliable. Helped me out a ton when I was out of the country.”


19. David D.
About: I have patience and really love dogs and cats. I like spend time with them. I believe your pets can have great time with me. I can spend most of the time with pets at home. Play with them and share the happy moments with pets parents 4-5 times a day. I stay at home most of the time. I live in a safe apartment with door man 24 hours a day. Your pets would be 100% safe here.


20. Brianna P.


“Brianna was amazing for Ziggy's first walk with her! She left incredibly detailed (and entertaining) notes on their journey together. Our Ziggy is a very anxious dog and we feel like we are in great hands with her already!”
