Dog Walking • Apr 19, 2026

I was very nervous to use Rover but since I have to stay late at work occasionally, I wanted an option for my dog. Sam has been so great with Charlie. He’s very flexible and communicative. He’s been letting her out once a week and it’s really put my mind at ease. He always sends me a picture and gives me a little update. He was also very patient and understanding of me being nervous to let someone else take care of my dog. I know my dog Charlie really likes him as well.

Sam Ross is truly the best dog walker and caretaker! He’s so sweet and intuitive with my Bella, and she absolutely adores him. He showers her with belly rubs, talks to her in the cutest little voice, and treats her like his own. I trust Sam completely, and it gives me such peace knowing Bella is in the very best hands when I’m not around.

Sam is the best! He truly loves every dog like they are his own! He has cared for my family’s dog and I can’t recommend him enough!
