“I felt really at ease and happy with Nicholas. This was the first time me using Rover and I was very pleased with the outcome and with Nicholas. Thank you!”


“Jenny is the best! She goes above and beyond to take care of our pup, and he is always so excited to see her. We love knowing he is in the best hands. She also updates us on how he did with his walks!”



“Michael was great with my 3 dogs and keeping my foster dog separate and taking him for a nice walk. He even sent me a photo. The dogs seemed to really like him! We will definitely be hiring him again! Thank you, Michael!!”


“We were extremely happy with Ellie. I never met her in person but her level of professionalism and trustworthiness with our pups and our property was second to none! We definitely plan to remain in touch for future business with her!”


“Mario is a gem! Olive and I had such a great experience with Mario — he’s friendly, professional, and truly knows his stuff when it comes to dogs. From the very beginning, he connected with Olive and made her feel at ease. She was always excited to see him, and I felt completely confident leaving her in his care. What really stood out was how Mario handled an unexpected stomach issue Olive had one day. When he arrived for her walk, he noticed she’d had an accident inside and immediately recognized that something was off. Not only did he take care of the cleanup without hesitation, but he also kept me updated with calm, thoughtful messages and even brought rice on a follow-up visit to help settle her stomach. That kind of attentiveness instills so much confidence and really reinforces just how much he cares about the dogs he works with. Mario goes well beyond the basics — he’s compassionate, attentive, and clearly invested in the dogs he looks after. Olive and I are both so lucky to have found him. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”


“Corri is terrific and we are thrilled to have found her to walk our dog, Jessie. Corri clearly understands dogs and has kindness, patience and professionalism. We highly recommend Corri.”


“Katy was super friendly and reliable. My senior dog enjoyed his daily walks with her. I will definitely be using her for any future needs. Thank you Katy!”


About: I've been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve always had pets growing up -- several cats, guinea pigs, fish -- so I’m really comfortable around animals. I also rode horses for a few years, which gave me good experience with larger, more unique animals. Last year in Alaska, I dog walked and cared for cats while their owners were away. I made sure they stayed happy and healthy with many walks, and kept in touch with the owners too, giving updates and adjusting routines as needed. As someone who’s very active and loves the outdoors, watching and walking dogs was a fun way to make a little extra money on the side and have a companion on my long walks! I do have a full-time job, but I’m looking for something on the side to help pay off student loans. I’m definitely an active person who enjoys a busy schedule, so I’m used to balancing multiple things at once and am confident I can handle both work and pet care without any issues. Every pet and owner is unique, and I’m here to listen and follow your lead on how you want your furry family member cared for. I’m flexible and adaptable, happy to do whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable!

“Mary was so great with Milo, especially for his first walk with Rover ? can tell she really has a passion for dogs and making sure they feel comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly walker/sitter!”

I like to make sure that your pet has a happy and safe time in my car. I pay great attention to detail in my care for animals and can follow any additional instructions. I have also had several different kinds of pets myself, so I have a wide experience with all kinds of pets.

About: As a dedicated and experienced dog lover, I offer a safe and nurturing environment for your furry baby. Having a Shih Tzu named Lady of my own and a Yorkie who was blind and had diabetes and required insulin shots on a daily basis and sadly passed away. My experience has given me a deep understanding of the patience and specific attention some dogs require. As a stay at home empty nester, your furry baby will receive the utmost attention and companionship it deserves. In my home every furry baby is part of the family. I live in a single family home with a huge fenced in yard. They are free to roam in my house, no restrictions, just fun!

About: We had the joy of raising a gentle German Shepherd from a puppy until his recent passing, and his love left a lasting pawprint on our hearts. With my kids now in school, I have extra time at home and am available for daily dog walking on a regular schedule. I truly adore dogs and would love the chance to support your family with occasional or routine walks, as well as in-home boarding. Let me help provide care, companionship, and plenty of tail-wagging moments for your furry family members! I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I'm also available for regular routine walking between 9am-3pm during the week. Please reach out with any questions ! We have a tall, secure fenced-in yard, perfect for frequent breaks to run, play fetch, or take care of bathroom needs. In addition, I can provide multiple walks each day to ensure your pet’s exercise routine is fully met and they stay happy and healthy.

About: I have a twin sister and we are both working on Rover because we adore being around animals. My love for all furry friends extends beyond mere affection, it drives me to offer the best care possible. Whether it's taking your dogs on refreshing walks or pampering your cats with attention and care, I'm dedicated to ensuring their happiness and well-being.

“Cassandra was very communicative during Mauis walk. She went above and beyond with our girl! We had a lot on instructions and she follows them to a T. We will be using her again!”


“Sata handled my two dogs like a true dog lover and professional. They are each over 100 pounds and she never doubted that she was the right dog walker for them. She took them on walks through wooded areas and I’m busy streets and kept them safe and engaged. The photos were wonderful to receive. The dogs were so happy with her. But no one was happy as I was. I finally found someone that I can trust with my giant dogs. Thank you so much Sara, I would recommend you and will recommend you to all my friends and family!”


“Ann arrived right on time and Leo was very happy when he got back from his walk with her :)”

About: Growing up, my family’s pet allergies meant I couldn’t have dogs of my own, so I devoted myself to helping neighbors by walking, pet sitting, and loving their pets as if they were mine. These early experiences taught me to care for animals with patience and compassion. As a licensed nurse, I bring professional attention to your dog’s safety and comfort, giving you confidence they’ll receive loving, reliable care every time we’re together. I prioritize pet care in my schedule by setting aside dedicated time each morning and evening for walks, play, and check-ins, ensuring pets receive consistent, attentive care. My flexible nursing shifts allow me to tailor my availability to each pet’s unique needs, so your dog stays happy, healthy, and on a routine you can rely on. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I follow their established routines closely to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress. I always secure doors and gates, remove hazards, and double-check collars or leashes for safety before walks. In my own home, I create a calm, clean environment with pet-safe spaces free from allergens or toxic plants. My nursing background ensures I monitor pets’ health closely, respond quickly to any concerns, and communicate updates honestly so you always feel confident in your pet’s care.

About: I’ve raised my golden retriever from puppyhood and previously pet sat three dogs! When I am away for university, I enjoy volunteering at local animal shelters and helping out with cleaning and meals :) I’m currently home for the entire summer (June-August) after finishing my first year at university! I am looking to spend my free time with my pup, so looking forward to making friends with your pup :) I have a fenced yard for your pet to play in as often as they want. We are a smoke free and pet loving household. Communication is important for me, expect lots of photos during your pet’s stay!
