1. Arianna G.
“Arianna gets all the stars and then some!! She is the VERY best!! Her communication, animal skills, and all around genuine kindness are top notch!! I worked in a small animal veterinary hospital for about six months back in the day and intially w/out further info except reviews etc. here on ROVER, from the begining, I could tell Arianna has that natural intuition+. My pup is actually a bit of a larger(~95lbs.) older guy(~10-11yr's old). He's a sweety but still very tenacious and can be a handful especially at the beginning of his walk or if he sees another neighborhood K-9 friend along the way he really wants to just say hi to. Arianna handles him w/zero issue though. Even my wife who's used to walking him finds it difficult but Arianna has a way about it that just plain works. I applaud Arianna, suggest her to anyone/everyone, and highly recommend her to potential ROVER clientel. Choose Arianna and you'll be more than happy you did. I know I am!!:) Thank you SO much, Arianna!!!! Herbie looks forward to all his future adventures w/you and is happier overall every day he gets to go:):):)”
2. Anna Mei D.
“Anna is amazing. I have been using her every weekday for the past 4 weeks and my German Shepherd puppy loves her and still gets so excited when Anna comes to pick him up for his afternoon walk while I am at work. She is very attentive and provides thorough updates/pictures of how he did on his walk. I wouldn’t want to use anyone else to walk him.”
3. Joselyn I.
“Joselyn is great with our dog. She is very warm and understanding. She is happy to accommodate our routine and requests. She is very communicative, asking any questions that will benefit our dog's experience and sending recaps of each walk. I highly recommend Joselyn.”

“Leslie is awesome!!!”
8. Christlove L.
“Christlove did an amazing job taking care of my blind dog, Chuck. She took the time to understand his routine, quirks, and special needs, providing regular updates with photos. Despite Chuck’s blindness, Christlove was incredibly patient and attentive, ensuring he was well cared for with plenty of walks, playtime, and affection. Her attention to detail and genuine love for Chuck made the entire experience stress free for both Chuck and me. I highly recommend Christlove to anyone needing a sitter. Thanks again for all your help Christlove, we’ll be sure to use you again.”
9. Mary O.
“Mary has been a great dog walker for our kid Marshall. She’s attentive, courteous, and Marshall enjoyed his time with her. She will be walking him on a weekly basis to give him a break from long days at doggy daycare. She sent lots of photos and videos which was perfect and eased my mind! Looking forward to working with Mary more!”
10. Ashley R.
“Ashley cares a lot for the animals of her community. She spends most of her time helping stray cats get neutered and works many hours at her local animal shelter. Ashley has many cats and a dog who all adore her. I believe she would be a perfect pet sitter and a great asset to many in her community who need the help with their pets!”
11. Kynleigh W.
“Knyleigh has been the absolute best for my boys, Panther and Yeti. She has provided the best care for them while I work full time and while my husband is on deployment. Hiring her for the booking has been one of the best things I could’ve done while I am by myself here without my husband’s assistance with the boys. I feel at ease knowing that her availability allows a “just in case” situation before with my boys and with a few hours notice, she is able to assist my to take my boys outside if I get called in for a last minute shift. I cannot recommend her enough. My boys get so excited to see her and it eases my worries knowing I have such a great and kind person looking over them while I’m gone. I’m so happy I have her dog walking services!!”
12. Tishea H.
“TiShea is very good with animals. Anytime i needed a sitter she was there. She is very reliable, great with all animals, excellent at communicating and very flexible when plans have changed. She knows how to handle my dog's special needs and communicates well. I know my dog is in good hands when she's with TiShea. I so appreciate her sending photos and updates so I know how my animal is doing while we're gone. I would highly recommend her for the company.”
13. Felicitas S.
“Felicitas is amazing. She was flexible and easy-going with all my instructions. My baby's take vitamins and medications, and she did everything to schedule. We left the state for 2 weeks and she would send us updates and pictures which gives us joy and knowing our babys are in good hands. There is no way we could have left on vacation. I highly recommend Felicitas she truly does treat your dogs as her own!”
14. iliyah g.
“Iliyah was amazing with Cedar. She took the time to let me know when she was on the way and asked about how many treats I wanted him to get. She was prompt and communicated swiftly and was very accommodating.”
15. Shelita A.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 11 years of experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. They’re my family! I've been lucky enough to share my life with dogs throughout their entire journey, from puppyhood to their golden years. I'm a patient and attentive caregiver who understands that every dog has unique needs. My big yard is the perfect place for zoomies and playtime, and I'm always happy to provide plenty of cuddles. When your baby stays with me, they'll be showered with love, attention, and all the belly rubs they could ever want. 🐾 I’m currently taking a breather from the hustle and bustle of working and schooling full-time. I just graduated with my Master’s from W&M, so I’m taking a couple of months to stay home and regroup. I’m home mostly with the exception of going to the gym for about an hour or taking/picking up my daughter from daycare. Your baby will have full access to my fully fenced yard and spacious patio – perfect for running, playing, and soaking up the sunshine. My home is also quite spacious. I can definitely help reinforce any training you've already started. Of course, I have a supply of treats on hand, but you're welcome to bring your dog's favorites too. Besides playtime in the yard, I also enjoy taking dogs for walks around my safe and quiet neighborhood. And if your dog prefers to stay in the comfort of their own home, I'm happy to do drop-in visits to provide care, playtime, and potty breaks.
16. Tressa G.
About: I’ve been around animals since the day I come home from the hospital to today. For my 6th birthday i was gifted my first cat to call my own from that day I knew I wanted to take care of animals. I’m available anytime on the weekends. Also I’m available before 6 AM in the mornings then I can go straight after I get out at 1 PM Monday-Friday. I can’t really answer this question because every pet is different based off of feeding schedules, exercise, medication, making sure they’re not going to hurt themselves, lastly making sure they’re comfortable.
17. Noel C.
“Noel did a wonderful job walking Gigi while I fostered her. She was very caring and attentive to Gigi and I appreciate it. I highly recommend Noel if you're looking for a reliable and caring person to watch your pet.”
18. Jasmine J.
“The best!! Absolutely does an excellent job with our puppy! Couldn’t be happier with our decision to use Jasmine. Would highly recommend to all!!”
19. Jordyn P.
“Jordyn did well with all the instructions given for walking my dog, Lucas. She came right on time and walked him through my community. I would recommend Jordyn and would use her services again.”
20. Jennie K.
“This was my first time using a dog walker so I was a bit nervous. If I could give Jennie K a 100 star review I would! She went above and beyond to make my pup and kitty cats feel special. She is so kind and a wonderful communicator. My dog wouldn’t go on his last scheduled walk because of the rain so instead she sat with him until the time was up and she even made his is own cute bandana!! How thoughtful. Thank you Jennie for being so great!”
