My two dogs had a great time with John. My neighbor saw him walking the dogs and was impressed with his enthusiasm and care. I agree. Thanks John for helping me out. I will definitely try to book John again the next time.

Kathryn was great! We needed a dog walker in a pinch and Kathryn was able to make it work! She took time to do a meet and greet on the weekend and we felt very comfortable with Kathryn walking our dog. She took the time to learn about her traits and what made a walk successful for our dog reactive dog. Would definitely recommend!

Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!

Renee has cared for my 10 month old Doberman puppy for 5 months now on weeks when I am in office. She is quick to respond, highly communicative, and flexible with my puppy’s changing medical needs. I can tell that Renee cares about what she does, and it’s been a huge relief to find someone who can confidently handle my high energy pup. I’ve used a few dog walkers due to various scheduling needs, and Renee has been our favorite 🐶 I recommend her for all your doggy’s care needs!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs! I’ve dog sat for playful pups, senior dogs who need extra patience, and dogs that require daily medication. Whether it’s a long walk, medication time, or just extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability for pet care! My schedule is super flexible, and with an open summer, I’m able to give your pets lots of attention, whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. When I care for pets in your home, their safety, comfort, and happiness come first. I stick to their usual routines to help them feel relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s giving medication, going for walks, or spending quality time together, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated, so you’ll always know your pets are safe, happy, and well looked after.

Lili visited with both Molly and I for a pre walk conversation for her to get to know Molly since Molly can be super finicky. Lili was patient and calm while Molly barked and sniffed and eventually calmed and got to know her. I think Lili and Molly will be good friends!!

Erikah was great with my parents’ dog and easy to work with prior and after the walk. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet. I manage my parents Rover account from afar and it’s sometimes hard to find walkers who are so responsive and nice.

Kathryn did a an excellent job with the pups. She stopped by to meet them and go over walking instructions and make sure they girls were familiar with her before the walk. The girls had a blast on their walk and really enjoyed their time. I loved the pictures sent throughout the walk. Can’t wait to have Kathryn walk them again. I highly recommend.
