“Leelay is great. She was kind, genuinely cared for our dog. She was great at paying attention to details. She was also committed and responsible, even during the days with the harsh snow and freezing rain.”
“Patty is truly the best – I feel so lucky to have found her! We just finished another set of walks (10). She gives me huge peace of mind when I need to be out and have my pup, Ellie walked and cared for. Not only is Patty very well experienced with animals, but she is also such a pleasure to work with. Incredibly responsive to last minute needs and provides such great details and photos, every time! Knowing my pup is safe, happy, and well-cared for by Patty makes all the difference!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals around my neighborhood and have had rescue dogs of my own. I love animals and will make yours feel right at home! My schedule is very flexible! I am available most weekdays and can take care of your pet any time on weekends! Let me know what’s best for you:) I have a rescue dog of my own who is on the mellow side so she will most likely watch but not interact. I have a yard however it is not fenced, but I will use a gate to keep your dog in the yard.
“Alex has been our dog walker for a couple months now. He is very attentive and has been so flexible with our ever-changing work schedules. We always appreciate his help and the boys seem worn out after their walks!”
About: I have always had dogs ever since I was a baby and I love spending time with them and giving them all the love and attention they need! I grew up with a bull mastiff named belle and took care of her even in her older age and I currently have 2 golden retrievers who are around 6 years old but I helped take care of them when they were puppies as well. I feel comfortable helping senior dogs with any medicine, help moving, or anything else they may need and I'm super comfortable and patient with puppies! I also have 2 cats and have also been around cats since I was a baby and love taking care of them as well! I love playing and being around big dogs but small is great too! :) I am currently a high school senior but I do online classes through running start so I am pretty much home all day and I go away for practice later in the day but I honestly have a pretty open and free schedule during the week! Since I have a flexible schedule with school I am able to stay for a while if your animal needs extra attention or company! I feel very comfortable and confident taking care of dogs since I have always been around them growing up. My mom and me also run a rover business boarding dogs at our house for the last few years as well so I have gotten to take care of lots of different kind of dogs! I really love dogs and cats and it would be a really amazing and fun opportunity for me to help take care of your cats and pups! :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Neighbors and friends have always come to me for caring for their dogs while they are away. I have a part time job currently so I am available for walking or drop in visits during days and/or hours I am not working that job. I am experienced with walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am also very comfortable and trustworthy to go into your home to take care of your dog while you are away.
“I was so grateful for Ao and Yun’s kind and thoughtful care of Harley while we were on vacation. Our family staying with her was unable to walk her so Ao and Yun were life savers for our energetic baby. They sent pictures and updates everyday they were there - thank you so much you two!”
“Last week was the first time I used Edie for my new puppy Chester. He is quite the handful and she has done wonders with him. She’s been very flexible and genuinely enjoy to work with. Hopefully Chester will get used to her as I will be using her weekly for his walks.”
“Audrey was so great with my pup – we just moved out here and Dakota needed a new friend to take her on walks and get to know the area. Audrey was responsible and prompt and very loving. Highly highly recommend her!”
“Jessica was very nice and communicated with me very well. My first time using Rover and she kindfully answered all my questions which made me feel a lot better. She updated me every step of the way and sent me pictures which was very appreciated. Definetly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for few years when they’re out of town. Feed them and keep companies with them has always been a super pleasant experience for me. I have a full time job and have to check in to the office three days a week but the time is flexible. Can come home earlier if it’s needed. I have an empty room and fenced yard. There’s no other animals in the house so your pet won’t be disturbed or stressed when they come to a new environment.
“Shawn was able to walk my dog at the very last minute when my other walker had to cancel, and it was early evening too which I really appreciated! Not an easy time of day to drop everything and come by, thank you Shawn from me and Shuggie! I had injured my back but I was able to stay home and rest knowing Shug was well taken care of and getting the exercise and fresh air she needed. This worked out well!🐾🥰”
“Hope was very communicative and clear, and I really appreciated how good she was with Ares! He's a shy dog, but she was very patient and let him acclimate on his own terms. She has a lot of experience handling reactive dogs, and was able to handle him easily even when confronted with other reactive dogs on their walk. Thank you!”
“Had a wonderful experience with Mike! From the very beginning, he connected instantly with Hero, our 100-pound American Akita. He’s extremely reliable, responds right away, and sent us great summaries and pictures after the walks. We’ll definitely be reaching out to again— Thank you Mike!”
About: Hello :) I am just starting out on here. I love animals and have been volunteering at an animal shelter for a few years now. I have 2 wonderful cats of my own! I also really love and have experience with dogs but unfortunately do not have the chance to have one of my own right now! I am excited for the opportunity to meet and take care of more animals and spend time with dogs and cats :) I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pups and kitties! :) I am excited to use my free time for animal time I am a careful person and I have a lot of experience with animals- I am hoping to do my best for you and work within the capabilities of your homes
“Logan was awesome! She walked and fed our dogs (and a couple other animals) while we were away for a few days. She was very communicative, reliable thoughtful and trustworthy with our home and pets, with instructions, locking up, etc. We have two dogs that pull a lot when walking so not a job for just anyone. Our dogs were well taken care of while we were away and well adjusted to all back to normal when we came back. I would recommend and use again.”

I could not say enough wonderful things about Maren. From the first meet and greet to her last walk with Kathleen she has gone above and beyond. Wonderful communication, observant of any new concerns with Kathleen’s health, and very careful about her dog reactivity. Thank you so so much Maren. <3
Allie took wonderful care of my two dogs!! I booked with her last minute for some dog walking help while my partner was out of town. She was an excellent communicator and on time for every walk. One of my dogs is nervous around strangers, but my dog warmed up to her right away! My dogs were happy and tuckered out after their nice long walks.
We have had such a wonderful experience with Ellina. She’s been kind, caring and patient with Neo. She takes her time on her walks with him. Always give him extra time to sniff and explore. She is reliable and communicative. We never had to worry about her cancelling walks which is so helpful with our busy schedules and long commutes. I know Neo is in great care when she comes to help us. Highly recommend Ellina for dog walking in the future.
We reached Robin only a couple of days before we needed to have some come to walk our boy, Bandit. She was able to do schedule a last minute meet and greet, which gave a lot of peace of mind. Her family did a great job with Bandit, they were very understanding of Bandit's excitement and were able to handle his over zealous attitude (pulling and jumping). Would definitely recommend using them to get some exercise for fur babies.
Katie is amazing! It’s my first time using rover and getting someone to help with my dog. I work long shifts and having someone reliable to take my pet on a walk was reassuring and such a relief. He loves her so much. She was such a great dog walker. If my family goes on vacation or we need a dog walker again, she will be the one we choose.
We couldn’t be happier with Sharee! She took Panda out three times for a full hour each time. Our dog came back happy and tired after every walk. It’s obvious how much care, patience, and love she has for dogs. She's reliable, punctual, and great at communicating (including sending pictures during the walk.) We would would highly recommend Sharee to anyone looking for an outstanding dog walker.
