“Valerie is the best! She walks our big 85lb dog who doesn’t love saying hello to other dogs and she is always so conscientious about avoiding other dogs on their walks!”

“Roxanne took very good care of my baby boy! Will def be using her for future walks. You can tell that she genuinely cares for the wellbeing of animals as if they were her own. Tbh I’ve had some kinda crappy dog walkers recently, so it’s great to finally find someone I trust!”

“Thank you for taking Rex out on lunch time walks this week! Adam & Keit were great with communication and accommodating by coming over beforehand for a meet and greet.”

“Elliott has become one of my favorite dog-walkers for my dog. He is thorough on the rover card, and takes some of the best photos 😁! I know Gadget (my dog) likes him, and he offers advice when warranted. Thanks Elliott for being so reliable!”

“Jessica was great!!! Took great care of our pup and left a bunch of updates and photos during their walks!! Super fast response times, even on a last minute booking! Also very accommodating to both my pup and the special instructions we left behind!! Would definitely book Jessica again !! (:”

“Grace was super patient and wonderful with our excitable Bernese puppy! He loves her so much and helped work on his training during their walks. She is extremely capable with large dogs!”

“Kailin is fantastic and incredibly sweet and kind! Always on time and took great care of our Labrador, Ryder, who absolutely adored her. We look forward to booking her again soon!”

About: I've spent the past year working from Trusted House sitters, caring for special needs dogs with health and anxiety problems and all kinds of cats. I tune in to the pet’s behaviors and personality and that teaches me how to tend to their needs. I'm very attentive and love to cuddle and play. I wfh about 28 hours a week at various hours and days. I have a flexible schedule and can work around pet sits and dog walking. I care for pets in client's home only, following all the directions from pet owners on how to care for their animals. All my belongings are kept in safe places where the pets can't swallow anything or hurt themselves. I make sure there is emergency contact information available including a pet hospital, if I were to need it.
About: I love all animals and growing up I've always had a dog. I have been pet sitting and walking dogs for 3 years. I Love how every dog has its own personality and getting to make new pet friends is very exciting. You can ask me to walk your dog slowly, play with your dog or take your dog for a run. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your pets! I'll take into account all of your pet's needs and ensure that they enjoy their time spent with me. I am pretty open from 8 am till noon. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and friday. I can also be available around 3:00. If needed, i can make it work night times. In my house i will be able to care for small/,medium dogs. I can comfortably have them inside or out in our little backyard. I have two kids that would also love to play with them
“Kevin was great both with Hank and me, his Type A mother. First time entrusting him to a dog walker, Kevin kept me in the loop with text updates on his ETA and shared pictures and fun recaps of their time together. Would definitely recommend Kevin!”

About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s dogs (golden doodle and schnoodle) throughout both of their lives. I enjoy walking dogs and getting them exercise so they can get some much needed sun! I can walk your dogs over the weekend and during the weekdays through lunch hours. Overall, I am very flexible to meet your pet’s needs! I am dedicated to adhering to the needs of your specific pet. If you prefer that your dog is crated, I will happily do that and leave them with whatever they need. Or, if you prefer to leave your dog in a certain area, I will let them stay there with the required food and water!
“Mia has been walking my two dogs consistently for over a month now. She’s reliable, communicative, receptive to feedback, and super patient and sweet with my dogs. I highly recommend her!”

“Cathy is awesome! She really understands dogs and their needs. During the very hot weekend we just had, she knew when to shorten a walk for the safety of our puppy and had much needed snuggle time instead. Very professional and I love that she used Rover to send pictures, let us know when she arrived and left, and what generally happened on their walk and time together. She was also very accommodating by communicating with another person who was staying in our home while we were away. We will be using her services in the future!”

“Chase was punctual, communicative, and took my pup on a great long walk in the middle of my workday! I contacted Chase late the night before and he was very accommodating. Will definitely use Chase again for my future dog walking needs!”

North Center dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shaylee was amazing with my 8mo old pup, Molly! She is very accommodating, kind and even helped train Molly on her walks and around other dogs.. not only did I learn so much but so did Molly! She was always looking out for her and was so attentive to her needs and while around other dogs. Unfortunately we had to move out of the area, but we would of loved to of kept scheduling walks with Shaylee! I highly recommend Shaylee..we will miss our time with her!❤️🐾

Roland is always great with communicating with me. He is flexible when I have to move a walk back which I very much appreciate. He takes great care of my pup and leaves detailed notes. I trust him with my best friend’s life so I would encourage anyone who’s in need of some pet care to shoot him a message.

Shira did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! Enjoyed seeing the updates and photos of them from her! Since it is winter, she made sure my golden retriever booties were on which does take time getting them on. I’m very thankful for Shira taking such good care of my Dogs!

Cagatay and Busra were very helpful and dependable. I have an American Eskimo who loves being outside in the cold, and they communicated consistently showed up even during extremely cold, subzero temperatures. Cagatay was punctual and reliable, and he did a great job walking Xavier twice a day. We were careful around the most severe days of the polar vortex, and I appreciated knowing my dog was getting proper care when conditions allowed. There was one occasion when Cagatay arrived late. He explained there had been an incident with that other dog causing extensive damage to an interior door. He looked genuinely shaken, and when I asked to see a photo out of curiosity, the damage seemed pretty extensive. I don't know much but I can say one of them was always at home while the other came to walk my dog, and they explained this was due to another dog they were sitting for with separation anxiety. On my final day, they both came together, and at that point the other dog was no longer there, as one of them had gone out of their way to bring the dog to stay with someone else. I would definitely be reaching out to them again because they were wonderful!

Lauren stepped in for us when our regular walker was out, unfortunately this was the same week our pup was in the ER earlier in the week! She was great at claming our nerves, super communicative, compassionate and loving to our pup! I couldn’t have asked for a better time! Will be booking again!
