Your Dog’s Walking Buddy

Pet care experience

I’m an avid walker in the park, enjoying long, leisurely strolls. For the last years I frequently take my family’s two dogs (a Dalmatian and a rescued boxer) for walks around our neighborhood lake, ensuring their safety and happiness. I have a great appreciation and understanding the importance of a good walks for a dog’s health, allowing them to flex their senses and enjoy the fresh air. I walk at a good pace ensuring that dogs can get a decent walk in, but also making stops to make sure they have a chance to take in their surroundings and complete any necessary business. I truly enjoy walking, and sending time with dogs, and merging the two hobbies together brings me complete happiness and I hope to create the same happy environment for your dog.

Bess was great. She took photos of our pets and gave us nice updates. We felt a piece-of-mind as we were traveling. So nice to know that our pets were well cared for.

Bess is honestly one of the most reliable, resourceful, kind and caring people I know. She constantly is thinking three steps ahead and is always prepared for any situation. She also is incredible sweet and nurturing to everyone she crosses paths with. If I was in any situation and needed help, the first person I would always call would be Bess. You can always count on her and she will always go above and beyond with any task in her life.

Bess is one of the most compassionate, caring and responsible people I know. Her attention to detail is also unmatched. I’ve also seen her tremendous care given to her family dogs Blitzen and Zuzu. She would be a wonderful dog walker and any pet owner would be lucky to have their pets in her care. Not to mention, she’s also an avid walker and knows how to manage the hectic city.

I have worked with Bess D. for almost 2 years. She is an incredibly compassionate and empathetic person who is always looking out for others. I have always felt supported and understood by Bess and have always felt I can go to her with anything! I believe Bess would make an incredible walker because she is loving, responsible and I know that she loves animals deeply. Bess is also very punctual and extremely professional. I think she would make a great addition to the Rover team and would be an excellent care giver for any pet!
