“Juan has been super reliable, friendly, and good with managing our dog. He is very responsive to texts and goes out of his way to update us on how things go on his walks with our dog!”
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
“Jen is terrific with our dog. He loves spending time with her and getting his exercise :-) Communication with Jen is clear and consistent, and she's always been on time. Already re-booked her time.”
“Lei was great with Korra! She was very good with her and took her for a nice long walk, which she needs as an Aussie! Korra had a good time and is nice and tired now. Thanks!”
“We have had our pup stay with Colleen and Sean in the past and they were very helpful to us when we needed a walk in a pinch. They provided excellent communication throughout the process, were on-time, and took care of our pup in some poor weather. We appreciated their assistance and we would walk or stay with them again.”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Aislyn is lovely, she is always responsive, on time to visits, and super detailed in her updates and care. You can tell she really cares about the pups she looks after which is so important!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and they have built me into the person I am today! The best parts of my days are taking them out on adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pets. I am a responsible, fun, and adventurous pet sitter, that would give your pets a great time. While I am home from college, I walk all of my dogs multiple times throughout the day and ensure that they are cared for satisfactorily. I also enjoy taking them on hikes and other outdoor adventures. The safety and comfort of your pet’s is my number one priority while sitting/walking. I respect your space and follow all instructions given very closely. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and behavior. I am extremely reliable when treating your home with care and your pets with the utmost respect.
About: Listen, I've basically run a zoo my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua and let me tell you, keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to your house and be a friendly presence and go on walks whenever! I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾
“I’m so happy we have found Molly! She walks our goldendoodle regularly and takes such good care of her. She is quick to respond and leaves us great photos and summaries in her rover cards!”
“Lianna has been great so far with Tucker! First and foremost, she really impressed me with our meet and greet. Asking such thoughtful questions, she showed how dedicated she was to providing the absolute best care to Tucker! With every walk since, Lianna has been diligent about updating me and even going as far as working on some training with Tuck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind care provider for their fur babies!”
“Suphaphattra responded to us very quickly to walk our 55-lb lab mix on short-notice and did everything we hoped she would do! We would very happily use her services again - thank you Evie!”
About: I’ve taken care of a multitude of different dogs and cats throughout my life - whether it be for friends, neighbors, family, or even coworkers! I have lots of experience in cat care - including grooming, nail trimming, and oral medications. I have 3 cats of my own, so I’m very adaptive to all sorts of cat personalities! My experience with dog care is just as plentiful! I’ve taken many on fun walks, played fetch, groomed fur, and dispensed oral medication. I’m rather good when it comes to pulling on leashes, and I also have experience training young puppies. I’m available at all times during the week! Whether you’re looking for someone to check in on your pup to feed, give bathroom breaks, groom, or play with, I’m available morning, afternoon and evening! The same applies to kitty owners! I always make sure all fenced in homes are securely locked in the event a dog wants to play outside. All leashes and collars will be checked before walks, and if your dog isn’t friendly with other dogs I will be sure to maintain a safe space between myself and other owners. As for cats, I always make sure that all doors are quickly closed and closed all the way to prevent any indoor kitties from escaping. If your cat is outdoor/indoor, I’ll make sure they get back inside safe and sound!
“Mike was fantastic! This was our first time using a walker for our dog and he not only made the process very easy but extremely comfortable for us. He even came and met us and our dog before we completed the booking. He was very communicative the entire time we were away and it was a huge relief to know our beloved pet was in good hands! We look forward to booking with Mike again in the future.”

Lei has been absolutely wonderful with Freya these past few months! Freya is always so happy when she stops by. She is so attentive and caring with her, wiping her paws and making sure it’s not too hot for her to be outside long. She went above and beyond staying past the appointment time when Freya was stubborn and wouldn’t poop right away. Thank you so much for everything!
Highly recommend Juan as a dog walker. Communication is excellent - prompt responses and regular photo updates during walks. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs in his care and takes his clients needs seriously. Dependable, friendly, and professional. 5/5 stars!
From the first moment Taylor entered our house, she bonded with Poppy and gave our sweet 14 yr-old labradoodle lots of TLC and special attention dyring every visit. On very hot days when Poppy didn’t want to walk more than a few minutes, Taylor played with her inside, gave her lots of cuddles, and even played Debussy, Mozart & Beethoven for Poppy on our baby grand. Five stars +++ and a huge THANK YOU to Taylor! Highly recommend!
Jessica did a great job walking our dog Bruno for 3 weeks. She was attentive to Bruno’s personality, behavior, and needs. We did a meet and greet for initial setup and from there she gave me notes for each walk. She took care of a wound that happened and gave daily notes on the wound to ensure it didn’t need further care. She accommodated schedule changes when needed/available for rain. I hope she is available for any future needs.
First time booking with Anya and she exceeded all expectations! She was incredibly kind, professional, communicative, and amazing with our pups. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and it made all the difference. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care!
