Dog Walking • Mar 31, 2026

Payson is absolutely fantastic! My dog adores him, and it’s easy to see why. He’s dependable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Every walk leaves my pup happy and tired — the best combo! Highly recommend Payson to anyone who wants a dog walker they can fully trust.

Payson took great care of my dog. He was respectful and answered my questions in a timely manner. Should I need a sitter again, I will be reaching out to Payson.

Payson took great care of my dog and cat on short notice! He even watered my garden :-) He made sure to send pics of my pets while I was gone, which was very kind.

Payson was great! He came and met the pets, communication was great, he's very friendly and dependable. Took care of our dogs over a holiday and was very receptive to helping out our firework hating dog. We'd book him again in a heartbeat!

Payson came over before hand to get a lay of the land, and paid great attention to detail. In addition to our dog and cats, he was up for trying new animals, and had a variety of chickens under his care as well. He even watered our vegetable starts! It was incredible to be able to attend the wedding of family knowing that someone was checking in on our animals and making sure they have what they need. Grateful for his affordability and flexibility!

Some information would be allergies, any medical conditions, how they are around other people, if they bite or scratch, do they have all of their shots taken care of and if there are any spots on the animals that I shouldn’t touch.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
