“Shana is incredibly caring and communicative, always sending updates and photos after every walk. My dog has formed such a sweet bond with her and it’s obvious how much Shana cares. She’s also very flexible and organized, which makes scheduling and communication so easy.”

“This is the second time we have used Patricia for an extended 2x a day walk while we were away for 5 days. We have a 6 year old 90lb Lab. She shows up on time every time. Sends feedback and photos every time. Very happy with her and will continue to use her going forward.”

“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.”

“Abbi was the best dog walker I’ve had! I have an Australian Shepherd which are extremely high energy breeds. Everyday my dog got a walk from Abbi, the distance was always a mile at least, she left extremely thorough Rover cards with many pictures. The few times I was home when Abbi walked Raider, he was always so excited to see her and tired after his walks. Thanks again Abbi!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Nigel is so great with our dog Kai. My neighbors have seen him with my dog and always compliment how he treats him. He always updates me on my dog's habits and things he's noticed about my dog. We're so grateful to have him walk our dog!”


“Colin was an amazing help for us, allowing me to return to work at the office with a puppy safe at home. Not only does our dog Huxley love him, Colin is also a great communicator. He's always quick to respond and never hesitates to let us know if there's anything off during his visits. I highly recommend his services!”

“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!”

“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!”

About: Hi! My name is Eunjung, but my friends call me Cindy. I have extensive experience as both a dog owner and a foster family, and through fostering I’ve cared for dogs with many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I really believe in meeting dogs where they are—respecting their temperament, paying attention to their cues, and adjusting care so they feel secure and at ease. I care for one guest dog at a time. I already have a calm, friendly dog at home (8yo golden retriever), and keeping visits one-on-one allows me to make sure introductions are thoughtful and that every dog feels comfortable, safe, and not overwhelmed. I’m calm, attentive, and communicative, and I’ll always share photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing. My goal is for your dog to feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while you’re away. During the week, my husband will be home to do a morning walk and a play-time in the yard. I return from work in the afternoon, and we take our afternoon/evening walk. Dogs can go into the yard anytime they want. They are also welcome to stay inside! I have a spacious fenced yard, the chillest & kindest golden retriever to keep dogs company (or stay out of the way if needed), and great toys and equipment for pets in the yard.
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.
“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.”

About: I have a lot of experience communication and caring for pets. But now I living without any pet. I want to give love and happiness to your pets. I am a trusted and responsible person. I have experience in dog walking through app Spot. It worked in Florida. I have flexible job, so I can take care of your pets in the morning, afternoon and evening every weekday and weekends. You can schedule on any part of the day I will feed your pet, remove feces, play with him and pet him. If your pet doesn't like to play, I can just stay with him so he doesn't feel lonely
About: What truly sets me apart is my experience raising 15 dogs for Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I helped train and prepare future service dogs for life-changing work. That experience required a high level of consistency, patience, and attention to detail - along with a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and trust-building. Because of that background, I bring a more intentional, thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I’m highly attuned to behavior, routines, and subtle changes, and I tailor each walk or visit to what your dog actually needs that day - not a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m especially comfortable working with puppies and senior dogs. I can help reinforce foundational training and leash manners for younger pups, while also providing slower-paced, attentive, comfort-focused care for older dogs. Above all, I combine reliability, structure, and genuine connection - so your dog feels safe, engaged, and cared for, and you feel confident knowing they’re in experienced hands. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I intentionally structure my schedule to ensure I have dedicated, uninterrupted time for each dog in my care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or extended sitting. Because of my experience raising, I am accustomed to maintaining structured routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. Consistency, timing, and attentiveness are second nature to me. I also build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels, schedules, and any last-minute needs that may come up. Pet care isn’t something I “fit in”-it’s something I prioritize and genuinely enjoy being a regular part of my life. I tailor my care based on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my priorities are always the same: consistency, safety, and making your pet feel completely secure. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible- meals, walks, playtime, and any training cues- so they feel comfortable in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm, structured space with plenty of supervision, thoughtful enrichment, and a low-stress atmosphere. Safety is something I take very seriously. I’m diligent about secure leashing, door and gate awareness, monitoring surroundings during walks, and always keeping a close eye on behavior and energy levels. I’m also attentive to subtle changes that could signal stress, discomfort, or health concerns. My experience has made me especially detail-oriented when it comes to routines, boundaries, and positive reinforcement. I’m very comfortable working with puppies (reinforcing training and structure) as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. I also prioritize communication; You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: your pet feels relaxed, engaged, and cared for- and you feel completely at ease.
“Zimeng did an amazing job walking Bobo. He was friendly, caring, and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Bobo came back happy and relaxed, which made me feel really reassured. I would absolutely recommend him and would love to book with him again.”

“Brittany was awesome! We needed someone to walk Annie while we were away and had a friend who had to be in the office during the week. She made sure Annie got her wiggles out and took cute picture!”

“Natalia was amazing!! First time using Rover so I was slightly nervous but she has great communication through the app and took my doggo on a long walk. A+++ will definitely book again. Super happy!! :)”

Zimeng is amazing with dogs! He really pays attention to each dog’s personality and energy level, and adjusts the walk based on how the dog is feeling that day instead of forcing a fixed routine. Bobo was always very happy and relaxed after the walks, and it was obvious that she trusted him a lot. We could really tell he genuinely cares about the dogs and understands them well. Highly recommend!

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.

Natalia began walking our dog, Obi, when he was 7 months old. She walked him for about 7 months almost every weekday. The love and joy she had working with our dog showed in the pictures she sent us as well as the comments from neighbors who periodically met her on walks. Natalia was communicative and responsive. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would’ve continued with her forever if she hadn’t moved away from our neighborhood. She has a wonderful connection with animals, getting to know their personalities and deeply caring about their well-being. She even befriended our cats who came down to visit her as well. I highly recommend Natalia for any pet needs you might have. She is an absolute gem.

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.

Abbi was the best dog walker I’ve had! I have an Australian Shepherd which are extremely high energy breeds. Everyday my dog got a walk from Abbi, the distance was always a mile at least, she left extremely thorough Rover cards with many pictures. The few times I was home when Abbi walked Raider, he was always so excited to see her and tired after his walks. Thanks again Abbi!

This was our first time using Laura, and she was absolutely wonderful. She is the sweetest, and we felt comfortable right away. We have a pup who can get anxious when meeting new people, and she took to Laura immediately which says everything. Laura was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly great with dogs. She’s also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the process. We’re so happy we found her and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
