5. Annie A.

“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”

“Brandon is the best! He is always so friendly and our dog may love him more than us haha. He gets so excited when he sees him walk up to the door. So happy we found such a great reliable walker”

About: I have had dogs for over 8 years and wouldn't be without a fur baby! I have had my fur friends since they were puppies and have successfully trained them both to be obedient and well mannered. I work from home and can be very flexible with my time. I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I often take in my friends dogs when they are away on vacation. I currently work part time and the majority of my work is working from home. There are occasional weekends that I may have to go to the office. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 pups of my own. Both are rescues and are very good with other dogs. I am happy to walk your pup as often as you require and happy to stay at your home.


8. Tamara H.
“I work for a non-profit dog rescue and have had the pleasure of working with Tamara as a volunteer and foster for our rescue for the past two years. She's a dedicated foster, always willing to help walk dogs who are at the shelter, and is amazing with all the dogs she works with. She is kind to the staff, other volunteers, and animals she works with. She does well with dogs with all temperaments, sizes, and backgrounds. She shows each dog patience and kindness with interactions and has experience with dogs of all kinds. I highly recommend Tamara as a dog walker, sitter, and care taker for anyone who needs some help with their pets!”


9. Erin F.


“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”


10. Caroline T.

“So lucky to find such a great friend for my dog Shadow. Great communication, on time, in control, and great with dogs. I felt comfortable that Caroline was with my dog while I was gone. I will absolutely use Caroline as long as she is available!”


11. Monica L.
“Monica is an extremely reliable, caring, and approachable person. Her love for animals is evident in the way she cares for her own dog, and her dedication to providing the best possible home for a dog is admirable. I cannot recommend her as a pet sitter enough. In Monica’s care, your dog will be loved and entertained as if it has been a part of her family all along.”


12. Randi W.
“Randi is the best! She knows how to deal with my elderly pup, Ricky. my 15 year old guy. Ricky loves Randi. They get along super well. Highly recommend Randi.”


13. Fabrice L.


“Fabrice was so professional, kind and caring with our dog. She was so happy to see him come for the walks! I would highly recommend Fabrice.”


14. Leslie D.
“I highly recommend Leslie as a dog walker on Rover! She is responsible, caring, and fantastic with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve personally seen how attentive and patient she is, always making sure each pup gets the exercise, attention, and love they need. Leslie is reliable, punctual, and great at following special instructions, whether it’s administering medication, handling multiple dogs, or adjusting to different energy levels. She genuinely loves caring for pets and it shows in the way they respond to her—tails wagging and happy! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced to join Rover as a walker, Leslie is the perfect choice. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her caring for their furry friend! 🐶🐾”


15. Leah G.

“Leah did a great job walking our dog and providing feedback. She stopped by a few days prior to meet him. She walked him twice on the day we reserved, both times with his tail was wagging high when she arrived. We will definitely want her to walk our dog again.”

About: I’m an animal lover 🐶❤️ and have grown up with a variety of animals from the usual dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles. I’m a certified Vet Assistant and have experience working with many animals in both vet clinics and pet resorts. I am currently working part-time so have plenty of free time to watch your pets! Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine, even while working. I ensure that pets receive regular feeding, playtime, walks, and any needed medications or special care. Will completely follow any rules and guidelines owners have for their pets. I would want to establish a positive and trusting relationship with your pet


17. Lindsey M.
“Lindsey is amazing! She cared for my beautiful and energetic black lab, Toby. She was so caring and really took the time to make sure he was exercised, cared for and happy before she left. She always snaps a few photos so I can see how he is and it's so reassuring to know that he's happy and taken care of when I can't be there. Thanks so much Lindsey!!!”
