“Excellent experience with Angela. She is attentive helpful and prompt. My dog loves being walked by her. Highly recommend.”
“Liz is a fantastic dog walker. She was very reliable and communicated the details any pet owner would want to know when they leave their pup in someone else’s care. Our dog was happy and tired after each walk. Would definitely recommend!”
“James was seriously the best!! So sweet and patient with Lilly, you can tell he really cares. We’ve worked with other people on Rover before, but no one like him. He always sent the nicest updates and the cutest pics after each walk, which we really appreciated. Felt so good knowing our baby was in such good hands. Thank you, James!! 💛🐾”
“Jamie clearly takes his responsibilities seriously and takes the utmost care of our dog. As first time dog owners, we were nervous to leave our pup in someone else’s care, and how our pup would react to someone else being in the home. Those nerves quickly vanished, and we as well as our puppy enjoy having Jamie come over to walk him and care for him. He is very professional and very caring toward our dog, which is all we could ask for!”
“Jen is awesome. She loves animals clearly and they love her right back. She is reliable and trustworthy and provides great updates. Jesse is so much happier now that he has a new friend to walk him while I'm working late. I highly recommend Alessandra and Jen”
“Thanks for taking such good care of Carly!”
“Ada is an incredible dog walker. She explains everything to me and Puzzle really likes her. I highly recommend Ada.”
“Nina communicated well and arrived on time. I’ll use her again”
About: I’ve cared for low, medium, and high energy dogs, small, medium, and large breeds, friendly and reactive. I’ve dealt with food allergies, leash-pulling, SQUIRRELS! and anxious dogs. My 4.5 year old just passed in July 2025 due to cancer. He had food allergies, was reactive to other dogs, and was extremely smart and athletic. He was also very vocal and obsessed with toys. He was trained in the basics, running with me, basic scent work, counter conditioning for his emotional outbursts, and random tricks. He was very selective about who he liked and suspicious of strangers. I had a lab as a kid who loved absolutely everyone but would steal your food if you weren’t paying attention. I’ve had experience with dogs of many personalities and needs. I will treat your baby like my own. I can work with dogs of any age. I am available on most weekends during the school year, and any time during winter, spring, and summer breaks. Weekend walks, drip-ins, house-sitting, and boarding are all easiest for me. Weekdays are tough because my regular job is a teacher. Walks: properly fitting harness and leash, treats, following the rules of the road/crosswalks/etc. Client’s home: follow your instructions for dog care; always make sure dog is happy, fed, watered, crated or otherwise secure in the home etc. as asked. Doors will be locked when I leave and your home will look as clean as it was when I arrived when I leave.
“My wife and I are the biggest dog lovers and we don’t trust our little guy with just anyone but we trust Janny with him. She takes care of him like he is her own dog. She is very flexible and very sweet to him. She does more than we ask like doing some training while she is there and spending extra time with him. I would recommend Janny for anyone looking for the best dog walker and sitter!”
“Our pup has had some health issues as of late, and heather was so sweet and helpful. She is a wonderful dog walker and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Fernando has been terrific on very short notice. Incredibly grateful.”
About: Hi there! I grew up on a ranch surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Dogs especially have always held a special place in my heart, and I truly enjoy spending time with them—whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or just giving them some extra love and attention. My wife, a veterinarian, shares that same deep passion for animals. Together, we make a great team when it comes to pet care. With her veterinary expertise and my lifelong experience with animals, we work to ensure your dog receives the safest, happiest, and highest quality care possible. We look forward to meeting your pup! I am active duty air force but have flexibility in my schedule during the week and am free most weekends. My schedule is usually very solid, so I know far in advance when I will be free or not. I am usually available for pickups after 2 PM weekdays and anytime during the weekend. I have a large fenced yard and a 3 bedroom house with plenty of room for your pet to run and relax! My wife is a veterinarian, so we make sure that the environment provides the safest and healthiest experience for your four legged friend!

I have experience with dogs of all kinds—elderly, reactive, big, small, high-energy, and stubborn—and I bring the patience and care needed to give your best friend the attention they deserve. My own dog, Churro, is a reactive rescue, so I truly understand the extra love and support some pups need. I'll treat your dog like my own, with plenty of play, cuddles, and photo updates to keep you in the loop. Feel free to message me with any questions—I'm available most days and happy to help! I am available for dog walks or drop in care most early mornings and evenings. My work schedule can be quite flexible so with a week's booking in advance I likely can make anything work. I provide overnight care at the client's home or drop-in walks (potty breaks, 30 min walks, or 1-3 hour walks, hikes, and/or play sessions. I am proactive in ensuring safety of your pet, a pro at navigating reactivity situations, and can follow any special directions you provide me to a T.

“Elana is the best! I would trust her with my fur baby any day. She knows a lot about dog training and is good to talk to about nutrition, training, and vet care. Her own dog is a high-energy, high-needs dog adopted from the shelter, and Elana has been a perfect dog parent for him. My dog has bad recall and has some food allergies, but Elana was super knowledgeable of how to deal with that and super attentive to those kinds of issues.”

Matthew & Sofia G.
“Matthew loves animals. He has taken care of cats, dogs, fish, reptiles and horses. He goes out of his way to play with the cats and dogs and give them tender loving care, so much that they run to him when he arrives. Matthew has a lot of energy, and the dogs enjoy getting to play in the backyard or go for a walk. Matthew is also calm which doesn't spook the horses, and puts the cats at ease to come up to him. I would trust him with any pet.”
