1. Michael B.
“Michael was great with Rocky. My father had hip surgery two weeks ago so it's a load of stress off my mind that we found someone that can help when my brother or myself are not available. Michael was prompt and professional and sent pics while out on their walks. Rocky really likes him! Will definitely be using again! Thanks Michael!”
2. Vanessa F.
“Vanessa was so great caring for my puppy on a long workday. She’s very communicative and showed my reactive dog patience while still allowing her to get some outside time.”
3. Isaiah P.
“Isaiah responded quickly to my last-minute request and was able to walk my dog, Molly, when needed. He did a great job and we would love to have him walk Molly again.”
4. Michael M.
“Michael went above our expectations! We will use him again for walking and boarding.”
5. Liliana C.
“Had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Lilana. I was a little anxious to use the service, but Liliana has been a delight and very communicative. Will be booking her services again.”
6. Rosemarie C.
“I have known Rosemarie for almost 50 years. She is one of the best and most compassionate people I know. She has always loved dogs and has helped with all of my dogs including our current black lab Chief. She loves long walks (especially with a dog) and has lots of love and cuddles to share. She is very responsible and trustworthy and will give nothing but love to your pet.”
7. Camille S.
“Camille is so sweet and amazing! She really helped me when I had zero help at home. My harley has a new walking friend:) She is so trusting and responsive 10/10 :)”
8. Jules R.
“Jules is hands down THE absolute BEST of the BEST! She took our hyper husky on afternoon walks for the past couple weeks while we were away, and she went above and beyond without fail to make sure he had the best walk of his life each and every time! And as if we couldn’t ask for more, she also sent the most creative and engaging narrative updates we’ve ever received, accompanied with pictures that equaled in creativity and fun. Her joy for animals is contagious and your pups will no doubt feel the love!!”
9. Janine G.
“It was the second time Janine walked our dog. I see my dog go willingly with her and come back happy which gives me a peace of mind. My dog needs to feel safe to go anywhere without me, otherwise she just goes away. Also, all the precautions Janine takes (crossing if there is another dog coming, being strict and calm, etc), when walking her are just what I was looking for. I trust Janine with my dog:) And she takes beautiful pictures!!”
10. Coleen T.
“This was the first time we have used a dog walker and Coleen did a great job for us. Gave us great updates and took really good care of our two dogs. Definitely will be booking her in the future again”
11. Patrick G.
“I had back to back bunionectomies & was unable to walk our dog while my husband was out of town. Patrick came & saved the day……excellent with our 85 pound Shepherd/Goldendoodle mix!! He went above & beyond!! So grateful definitely will be using Patrick again!!”
12. Jose R.
“Jose was a life saver! Our regular walker had fallen ill and I needed a walker ASAP. I saw the wonderful reviews and decided to contact him. He was able to meet my dog later that day. My dog went up to him as though they knew another. My work schedule fluctuates and sometimes I contact him the day before and he is able to accomadate. My dog is happy and I feel that my dog is safe in his hands.”
13. Arlene A.
“She took such good care of our little old man. He loved her. I will definitely be hitting her up first next time we can’t take him on vacay with us. Very kind and professional.”

17. Diana P.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Since very young I’ve had pets and always interacted with all kinds of animals from cows, horses, turtles, hamsters, cats, and dogs, and looking forward to continue to care for animals I’m a stay at home mom with lots of flexibility, and looking to care for more pets. I’m available to walk them and take them out frequently. I have a completely fenced yard and plenty of flexibility to take them out for walks or potty breaks. I have two little Yorkies to keep your pet company, but I am also able to crate the pet if requested.
