“We are new to Rover and Tara was a first dog walker and we feel so lucky! Tara has great energy, and is friendly and warm with both dogs and people. I like that she uses the Airtags during her walks with our puppies, as an extra precaution should the unexpected happen. If you are hesitating at all about using the Rover app - do it - and choose Tara!”

“Benji simply adores Kay! She is attentive and adventurous — taking him on nice long walks in our neighborhood.

About: “Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.” I’ve always had dogs, most recently a 60 lb black lab and a 3 lb yorkie. As a kid I often dog/house sat for friends and neighbors. I’m a huge animal lover and just purchased a townhouse this past spring. My home can get a little lonely these days and would love to have a dog to give my attention to, even if it’s just temporary. You’re dog won’t want to go home ;) I work during the week but am free most evenings and weekends (and telework days). I’m a Human Resources specialist for the federal government, a single mom of a 5 year old (60% of the time). If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!
About: I’ve worked with other dogs before and genuinely enjoy making them happy. I also love observing how well I get along with them and forming connections with them. It fits perfectly because I work with dogs every day, and I love coming back to hang out with them every chance I get. I love making connections. I ensure that they have access to certain things and refrain from feeding them anything that could make them ill. Additionally, I provide them with information about the activities they can engage in to prevent them from falling sick.
About: I have a 9 month old Labrador retriever, we love all pets. I am very flexible with hours and very patient, here for all pet needs. The Weekends work best for me, but can be more flexible if need! Excited to meet you and yours pets! Barli would love to meet them too! I’m currently only offering pet walking services, but if in a pitch I can also feed and play with your pets or be available to any other service.
“MyLea was super caring, on time & attentive to Remi’s needs! Even better that she lives so close to me! Kept me updated & even dropped back in to turn on my Ac for me so that apartment would be cooled. I really appreciate her so much & will definitely be booking her in the future!”

We just met Sydney this week, she took my dog Louie out for several walks, everything went great! She’s was on time, listened to everything I had to say/answered any questions s or concerns. She was very attentive to both myself and Louie. Louie loved her, I would highly recommend.
Kerry has now taken care of Apollo two times that I have traveled and she is so caring and thoughtful. She sends me texts and pictures every day and provides me with updates. I did not have to update her on Apollo's routine, she remembered everything. It felt great to relax on vacation knowing that Apollo was being very well taken care of.
Katherine is the perfect walker for our family’s dogs. She’s pleasant and very accommodating, offering flexible options and genuine care for our fur babies. Always an absolute pleasure to communicate with and a true blessing! We have 100% peace of mind when Katherine is caring for Bella Joy and Indigo and always look forward to the next time!
