“Charlotte walked my older dog and my crazy energy-filled puppy. She did a great job of taking our instructions and reading the dogs’ personalities and mood. She walked them a healthy distance everyday, even in gloomy weather. Definitely what we were looking for and I trusted her in my home without us being there.”

“Meaghan was enthusiastic about caring for our dog. Riley anticipated her arrival and met her at the door. She communicated with Riley with affection and encouragement. She gave us verbal and written observations after every walk. We want her to be our “go to” dog caretaker.”

“Daniel clearly enjoys spending time with Louie, and it’s equally obvious that Louie enjoys it too. Louie is a very high energy doggo who always comes home tired out after a walk with Daniel.”

About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could walk. Grew up walking stuffed animals around on a leash just to prove to my parents that I was responsible enough to own one myself.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reading
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with Stella and Lucy! They both love her, and it’s easy to see why. She doesn’t just show up, walk them, and leave. She really takes the time to get to know each dog individually, understand their personalities, and figure out what they need. I’ve especially noticed a huge difference with Stella. Olivia has gradually helped increase her activity and endurance, and Stella is doing so much better because of it. I really appreciate that Olivia pays attention to what she can handle while still helping her improve. It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that both of my dogs are with someone who genuinely cares about their health and happiness. Olivia is also great at communicating, dependable, patient, and just an all-around great person. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with and treats them like more than just another appointment on her schedule. Stella and Lucy are always happy to see her, which probably says more than any review I could write. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. We’re very lucky to have found her! 🐾❤️

Imani walked our dog, Oli, twice, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. Oli is a very energetic mixed-breed dog, and Imani handled her wonderfully. She was always punctual, communicated excellently, and kept us informed throughout. Most importantly, Oli came back from every walk happy and well exercised. We highly recommend Imani to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter or dog walker!
