“With the busy schedules my husband and I have, we use Melissa weekly for recurring walks. She is great about picking up extra walks when we need, so our fur baby has some consistency with all traveling I do for work. Bruno loves her and I love the peace of mind she gives us! Thanks Melissa for all you do!”

“We have been consistently using Beverly since our pup was 3 months old. Beverly does weekly walks for us as well as daycare and overnight stays. Charley loves her Beverly and she has quickly become part of our family.”

“My dog loves her - and so do we! Ellen is super flexible and enabled us to work odd hours this week and still get our dog the care she needs!”


11. Pooja N.
“I'm a family member of Pooja's. She has been working with dogs for a couple years now. She started volunteering at a shelter once a week and then she ended up traveling and house sitting for dog owners a few times. She's great with dogs and they seem to really like her too as she has not had any trouble with the dogs she worked with it or house sat with. They tend to warm right up to her and are calm around her. She cares deeply about the pets and especially about making sure she keeps their owners informed and follows any instructions they give her. She often talks about the dogs she has spent more time taking care of and how much she misses them. I'm sure she'd give your pet the same attention she has given other owners' pets and it would bring her a lot of joy caring for them too!”


12. Khalilah B.


“My first impression of Khalilah Rover page was that a Meet and Greet was required and that gave me instant relief. Some people are a jump right in, but for me and my 2 VERY active and socially awkward Border Collies, a M&G is necessary. She was very calm and allowed the girls to get comfortable before petting. We talked, she asked great questions, and then we did a little walk around the park before confirming they we all felt comfortable. After we set up a paid trial so all 3 could make sure they were comfortable and the walk went great!! She is very communicative and I feel very honest. My 2 girls trusted her right away and are so happy to see her. This is a great combination. I would recommend her services to anyone around.”


13. Elizabeth C.

“Liz is a great, reliable walker! My dog warmed up to her super quickly despite being nervous around new strangers at first. Will definitely continue to book with her!”




14. Kendra C.

“Kendra is professional, dependable, kind and caring. I am grateful that I was able to find her here at Rover to help me with my Pomeranian - Tango. Kendra provided me with messages and pictures from the time she picked up and dropped him off. Kendra is someone you can trust to care for your pet with TLC. I am very thankful for her!”


15. Mark K.
“We had been looking for a dog walker/sitter for awhile. After meeting Mark we found what we needed. Mark is friendly and dependable and loves all size animals. Highly recommended.”
