“Thanks to Ashley and Mauricio's amazing dog walking services, Spence had a great July 4th weekend! We were a little worried about leaving Spence alone during the holiday chaos, but Ashley and Mauricio completely put our minds at ease. From the initial meet and greet, we realized that Spence was very comfortable with them, so we knew that we didn't have anything to worry about. Ashley and Mauricio are very reliable and trustworthy and great with communicating and keep us updated as to how things are progressing. We received adorable pictures and updates after every walk, letting us know how much fun Spence was having. It was such a relief to see Spence enjoying the holiday weekend just as much as we were. If you're looking for a dog walker who goes above and beyond, look no further than Ashley and Mauricio! We can't thank them enough for making sure Spence had a fantastic July 4th weekend. We highly recommend Ashley and Mauricio to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and fun dog walker!”



“Violeta was amazing! We felt comfortable with her from the start. Very friendly but could tell she had experience. She communicated everything very well. We could tell our pup was well taken care of. She is often extremely hyper when we come home from trips but this time she was as normal as could be. We’ll definitely use her again!”


“Cam was absolutely the best! Dependable, friendly, punctual and very communicative...and he clearly loves dogs and they love him! We could not be more grateful for the great care he took of our 10 month old lab, especially during the hottest week of the summer! I'd give him 10 stars if I could!”


About: I used to volunteer regularly at an animal shelter where I had handled both cats and dogs. I have been dog walking since I was a tween, and always loved doing so! I love getting my own exercise in, so with your pup I’m sure they’ll be fully rested for the rest of the day after our energetic walk! I understand that pets are our family members! I am a huge animal lover and advocate! As of now, I am currently working freelancing and remotely part-time, therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your babies currently ! At my own home, I have my beautiful kitty Jinx. She is the sweetest and most curious cat. Together we like to cuddle and play with her favorite toys! (her new favorite toys are Wicked themed!)

“Alexandra has been walking my dog, Lucy, on a regular basis for about 4 months so far and has consistently done a great job. She’s been incredibly reliable, very responsive, and great with Lucy in every way. I’ve had a lot of dog walkers from Rover over the years and have no reservations at all in recommending Alexandra.”

“Alexis has been so amazing! Incredibly reliable, responsive, thoughtful and so easy to work with. We’re so grateful we found a go-to dog walker especially one who can make visits or walk multiple times a day to help when we’re gone for the full day.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience and attentiveness, especially with young dogs and puppies.

I can come any time just tell me when you need to leave I can't host your pet at my house for now. When I come to the client's house, I make sure I know everything about pet's care, and I do everything to make them happy
