“Forest was super patient with our dog, Carmela, who tends to be nervous around new people. They were super communicative with me and made sure Carm had everything she needed. Thanks again!!”
“Alex has been absolutely great with my pup! She’s a bit slow to warm up but he was very patient and listened to her cues! Having him walk her during the day is a huge help! I will definitely continue to work Alex.”
“Fatima is great! Very efficient and does a great job with my strong pittie who loves going outside. Also very communicative with how he’s doing and is punctual with our appointments. Thank you!”
“Adelle has been amazing with drop ins and walking my 2 big dogs! I work long days, and didn’t want them to be left alone all day. She follows their routine exactly and they are so happy when I get home from work each day. She genuinely cares about animals and I have complete trust in her with my dogs.”
“Natassia started walking my energetic dog Piper this week! I can tell Piper loves her walks and she took a liking to Natassia as soon as she met her! Natassia is very responsive and sends pictures everyday! Piper is already booked for more walks with Natassia next week! Thanks, Natassia, for taking care of Piper!”
“From my dog ARES’ responses, I know he likes Joshua and enjoyed the walking with him. He arrived on time and took care of Ares’ poop and pee-pee during the walk. I will book with him again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.
“Mel was so great with Jack! It’s so clear that she loves dogs and they love her too. She’s now my go to for all the dog walking and care needs I need help with. Can’t recommend enough”
“This was our first time hiring a dog walker for our shy and skiddish puppy. Kim was a great dog walker - she was punctual, a great communicator, and extremely caring and patient with our puppy. We would happily have Kim walk our dog again. Thanks, Kim!”
“Teju has been such a pleasure to work with each week and a huge help with our dog while we had construction work going on in the house last week. It’s such a relief to know our pup is in good hands!”
“Kelly is a superb walker for my little Mimi. She takes great care of Mimi's well being, especially on these cold days, and has built a wonderful loving and playful relationship with her. Thank you Kelly!”
“Danna did an amazing job walking my dogs! I was so impressed by how quick she accepted the request and attentive and caring they she was. My dogs came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates during the walk, and they handled everything so professionally. If I ever need a dog walker again, Danna will be my first choice!”
“Christina was so easy to work with! She took great care of our puppy and was very understanding of his puppy-ness ? She was willing to do a meet and greet before our first walk, and sent me plenty of updates when she was at the house. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I am so glad I found Sam for my two guys, Lucky and Charlie. She is so good with them! They really love her and her adorable kids, who help her out sometimes! Sam is prompt and has been able to be flexible. She's a keeper. Thanks Sam!”
About: I’ve cared for my pet dogs for the last 20 years, two of them required special needs due to illness. I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life and also had a family farm for 11 1/2 years. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, differing ages and sizes. Both of my last two dogs recently passed away, so I’m seeking to offer care to help others in the meantime to fill the void of the loss. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but I telework two days a week. I am available most weekends for now and could also take a break during my in office work days for potty breaks or short walks, if needed. I have a one bedroom apartment. I still have an available crate for use as needed. My complex has a nature trail and dog park on site. There are also other trails nearby.
About: Hello! Looking to receive some extra money through my love of pets! My family had a golden doodle for the last 10 years of life, moving to Virginia, I haven’t been able to spend much time with him and he has since passed. While I don’t see myself getting a dog anytime soon, I’d love to spend my free time loving on dogs who need some extra company while their owners are out! I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and have had no issues as long as they are loving and friendly. I hope you take interest in my profile, feel free to text or call me at any time, I usually respond right away or within the hour. Thank you! Im currently working full-time until 3pm. I can take your dog out for a walk during afternoons or evenings, most weekends can work as well! I also have summers off for me free time to spend time with your animals! If I’m dog-sitting, I do prefer to do it at the owners home since I live in an apartment, but ensure to give them tons of love and affection while there.
Legato dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adelle was amazing! I booked her to walk my dog twice a day while I was working and unfortunately my dog had a rare accident in the house. Adelle saw it and picked it up even when she didn’t have to!! I know my dog loved being walked by her because she was waiting by the door at the times I setup even when I got home!
Jennifer clearly loves walking and working with my dogs. I am a dog trainer and have been unable to walk my pups due to medical reasons and she has been so helpful. I truly appreciate how willing she is to reinforce the rules and training I have in place with my dogs and it’s obvious how much the dogs love and respect her when she comes over. I highly recommend hiring her, especially if you have dogs that need to follow more structured guidelines on walks.
We had an amazing experience with Morgan! She was incredibly patient, attentive, and kind with our 6-month-old puppy, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pup came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for every time. You can tell Morgan genuinely loves dogs and understands puppy behavior. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.
Jen was the absolute best! She let me know exactly how the dogs were doing, shared photos, any concerns she had, and gave them plenty of love. Much are high energy so she came over before I went out of town and took notes. I left her with a lot of notes as well that she clearly studied to care for them! She followed all instructions and was very kind with her remarks. I’d recommend her over any other dog alter or pet sitter I have had using rover. Extremely reliable and communicative!
Will was fantastic with our dog Lucy. He made us feel completely at ease knowing she was being cared for at the highest level. Lucy loved him and we enjoyed reading his detailed Rover Cards with great photos. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to all of our friends.
Josh was great with Louis! He took the time to meet him ahead of the scheduled walks, which really helped Louis familiarize with him. He was punctual, communicative, and always made sure Louis got the walk he needed. I appreciated the updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend Josh to anyone!
Caralie was responsive to my last-minute request and punctual for the time I requested. She sent pictures, even for just a 30-min walk, and was patient during my stubborn pup wanting to lounge in the shade for awhile 🙂 I would definitely book her again!
