1. Adam D.

“Adam has been walking Bodhi for a while now and the proof of his great work shows up every scheduled day when Bodhi goes to the window to look for Adam just before it’s time for his walk. He just knows his friend Adam is coming to see him! 😂 Adam does a great job, he truly connects with our pup and he’s very easy to work with when we have schedule changes. 5⭐️ for sure!”


2. Shelbi R.

“Shelbi is always beyond amazing!”


3. Suzanne W.

4. Kay M.

“Kristin was very thorough and thoughtful when meeting our pups. She did a great job walking our dogs and following up with how they did. We would definitely consider booking with her again.”


5. Merryn M.
“Merryn is absolutely fantastic. She did a great job checking on Shama the whole week and was extremely helpful and considerate even when I had communication difficulties on my end. As reliable as can be. Definitely highly recommended.”


6. Leila H.
About: I've taken care of cats for 18 years now. Had one since I was little and taken care of three cats at once. I've walked and doggysit for many people over the years. Love taking care of animals. I currently have a lot of time on my hands. If I’m not looking for a new job, I’m spending my extra time providing pet care services. I truly appreciate the experience and love doing this. Make sure they have a clean place to eat and do their business (cats). We keep all harmful chemicals in safe areas that the pets can't get to.


7. Kelly C.


“Kelly has been walking max for more than 2 years and we couldn’t ask for a better person to spend time with our pup. Highly recommend her for walking or long overnight stays.”




8. Kara B.

“Kara has walked my dogs several times and I highly recommend her. She’s always on time, texts me ahead of time as a reminder and walks them for the full expected time. My dogs absolutely love her and are very excited when she comes over.”


9. Lavina & Herbert S.

“Lavina is the best! My dog can be very playful (and not listen lol) and she has been very patient with him. She is very professional and gives me updates. So glad to have her take care of my pup! ?”


10. Hannah M.
“Hannah has been such a tremendous help! I can always count on her to look after Tucker, my pup, at any time. She takes him on walks and plays with him while I am away at work. She is always polite and on time. I would recommend her to anyone with a furry friend!”


11. Merritt F.

“Merritt did an excellent job walking my two dogs. They immediately got along right away. Merritt listened to all of my concerns and that made walking them easier for both sides”


12. Dennis P.

“Dennis did a great job with my dog Dexter who was high energy and at times could be a little aggressive toward bigger dogs. He was always timely and Dexter was always happy to see him. I would recommend him to any dog owner because his love for dogs is without question.”


13. Abbey R.
“Abbey has watched our dog, Rico, many times. We have hired Abbey to come over and feed Rico, play with him and take him outside. We have also had Abbey stay in our home for extended periods of time to take care of Rico. Rico is an active cattle dog who also has diabetes. Abbey is very good with him and makes sure he gets plenty of exercise and is physically as well as mentally stimulated. Abbey has been willing to measure out Rico's insulin and give him his shots. She is also adept at handling any other medications that Rico needs to take. It has been very clear that Abbey is an animal lover and really enjoys spending time with our dog. Abbey has been indispensable to us; we love her (as does Rico) and would highly recommend her to take care of your animal.”


14. Audrey U.
“Audrey I can’t thank you enough for taking care of brady! She took him for a nice long walk, was patient with his nervousness, and sent lots of pics to update me along the way. So grateful to have found you on Rover!”


15. Amanda W.

“Amanda was great! Very timely and communicative and great with my dog.”


16. Maria F.

“Maria is awesome! She’s very prompt at responding, and has been great with my difficult/moody pup! I feel very comfortable with Maria taking care of my fur baby!”


17. Lisa O.
“Lisa is a very smart, kind person who would be a fantastic pet caregiver. She’s caring, kind, responsive and loving to her animals and dogs. She’s would do anything her dog needed to live a happy, full and healthy life! She would be a wonderful caregiver!!”


18. Shannon A.
About: I’ve caring for dogs for many years and I truly enjoy them to the fullest. My favorite part is giving them a new nickname. It’s never English it’s always something close to gibberish and it’s always based off of their personality. I’m great with being attentive and reading doggy body language and I always seem to make them feel safe which allows me to build a trust bond with them quickly. Monday through Thursday o am completely free. I’m currently with child and exercise is necessary so I figure dog walking will not only be healthy for the dog but for me as well Depending on the clients request of how they want their dog cared for at home is what I can do. If it’s let the dog out in the yard and pick up after them I can do that, if it’s feed them and make sure they take their medication, I can do that. If it’s walk them for 30 mins I can do that. Whatever your request is I can do that.


19. Taiye A.

“Taiye more than rose to the challenge of calming our dogs, skittish though they may be after just moving to a new home. Penny and Wren took to her right away, as evidenced by the photos she sent of them welcoming her with open paws, and we’re looking forward to many future walks!”


20. Madison S.
About: I enjoy spending quality time with all animals. I put all my effort into making sure all animals are acknowledged and happy. I have taken dog training classes with my family dog so, I am well aware of the time and patience an animal may need. I like walks, dog parks, and cuddling while watching Portlandia (among other shows too!). I do not have any dogs at the moment but my goal is to rescue a retired greyhound. Throughout the world greyhounds are being used to race each other, although these dogs are fast, they are abused and neglected and need our help to save them. All dogs and cats have their own personalities and deserve someone, like myself, to make sure they are taken care of. I work 8-5 Monday through Friday remotely. I travel some for my work but can always travel with my laptop. I stay on my schedule Always communicating, being honest and putting others needs before my own. Not being afraid to get dirty and put in the extra work! staying on schedule
