“Neil is incredibly consistent and communicative. Each week Neil checks in to make sure we are on the same schedule and often given my schedule I am not as consistent however Neil makes it work and it’s always there to walk Zephyr. Neil is very kind and patient with Zephyr. His prices are very reasonable as well.”

“My dog immediately loved Anthony and he definitely knows dogs well, since he has one of his own. He is a great walker and highly recommend! Good communication also. Thank you Anthony!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and now have my own boy, Larry. I’m new to rover after using rover for my own pup but I am very comfortable walking all kinds of dogs whether they are friendly or ver nervous. I also have some expertise giving medications to dogs as well! I currently work Monday-Friday 9-5 so I would be available weekdays after 6pm. I have random wfh days that I would also be able to leave for a bit to walk your dog! On weekends I am generally available depending on my schedule! I am not able to take dogs in my house however, in someone else’s house, I will abide by any and all rules to keep your space clean and respected!
“Drew is fantastic! He offered to meet Mavi the day before the walk and it really helped to establish familiarity. She came back so happy. I know who to contact in the future 🙌🏼”

“Christina is the best! Both of my dogs have their own specific needs (and big personalities!) and Christina handles them both with ease. She is also super flexible with times and last minute requests which is super appreciated!!! If you need a reliable, knowledgeable dog walker to come take care of your pups, here she is!”

“Marin is such a wonderful pal to our dog Bruce! She gives him such stimulating play and training. Also did a really great job giving him eye drops. Would recommend her highly to any dog!”

“Very good job taking care of Echo and be flexible with times to walk him. Kamryn is receptive to advice about the dog and seemed to be excited to interact with him during walks.”

“Such a delight to work with. She’s an effective and quick communicator. Super accommodating to your needs and needs of your pet. Alicia was flexible and made both of our schedules work. My dog, Fiona, took a liking to her immediately. Fiona could sense that Alicia is a good person and someone she can trust. Alicia was gentle with Fiona, so I could easily feel safe with her in Alicia’s care. I am currently injured with limited mobility, so Aleicia was also attentive to my needs and helped me out in the best way she could. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart because I have been so worried about providing Fiona with a regular walk schedule and proper exercise and she took a lot of weight off my shoulders. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Alicia!!! She went above and beyond for myself and my fur baby to provide an incredible and easy experience. She will be the only reason that I will continue to use Rover in the future.”

“Masie was wonderful and a true lifesaver for a last-minute request! When my partner and I couldn't be home to walk my big girl, Masie stepped in. Since this was Lola's first time meeting her, she was a bit nervous and had a small accident inside. Masie was incredibly attentive, helped calm Lola's nerves, and even took the time to clean up the accident. She truly put my dog and me at ease. We're already looking forward to booking with her again!”

“I’ve used Carmen few times, she was able to walk my dog Jasper in a short notice. Also one time she wasn’t able to make it, she was able to offer a refund, which I appreciate. I would use her again as she is communicative and easy to work with. Thank you!”

“Nicole has been taking Zeppo for walks for about a month now and I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s caring and reliable and you could tell how much she loves dogs. I know Zeppo really likes her too!”

“Derricker is amazing. Long walks and even grooming at times. So appreciative of Derricker and the extras as I recover from a fractured ankle. She is amazing and Beau waits by the door for her arrival at times.”


“Victor is great with Zuse! He is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a wonderful way with dogs. Zuse always seems happy and well-cared for after their time together. If you are looking for a walker who is professional and genuinely cares about your pup, I highly recommend Victor!”

I am happy I found Catherine! Her love of and experiences with dogs is apparent. She has a great attitude and she was great with my dog. She arrived on time and after a short introduction with my pup they were off for the allotted time. She shared photos along the way and a summary post walk. I would book Catherine again!

We had a great experience with Prachi! She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dogs and cats while we were away. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. As newcomers to the city, we’re happy to have found someone we can reach out to for future pet care needs! 💛

Kate was wonderful with Brinkley! He is a very shy boy and she did an excellent job at getting him to interact with her. While he was reluctant to leave (as always), it was an easier exit than we've seen with any other walker so far. She asked great questions and is a great communicator and Brinkley came back happy and tired -- booking a recurring weekly session right now!

Lara was amazing with our Chasey boy! She took such great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. She was super responsive, incredibly easy to work with, and we truly felt like Chase was in great hands the entire time. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable walker!
