1. Christopher W.
“Christopher is a great dog walker. He is very considerate and always gives us a heads up before coming in the house to get our dog (in case we’re there). He took our dog Aggie on really nice long walks.”
2. Natasha H.
“I forgot to mention in my last review that Natasha takes the best pictures. She also gives my dog a daily grade which let's me know how her training is progressing and makes the daily report feel like a report card from school, which I adore. Natasha is amazing, patient, reliable, communicative, honest, caring, truly a dream and a blessing of a dog walker. Her daily reports are detailed, cumulative, and progressive. I really couldn't ask for more.”
3. Bonnie S.
“Bonnie has been a fantastic dog walker for my dog, Bandit. She’s always punctual, reliable, and treats Bandit with such care and love. I appreciate the attention to detail she puts into each walk, ensuring he gets the exercise and playtime he needs. Bonnie genuinely cares about Bandit’s well-being, and he’s always excited to see her, which says it all! I highly recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
4. Deb W.
“Deb took my 8 year old Aussie for our first rover walk today. She came before the walk when I was home for a meet and greet the previous week. Deb messaged me to let me know she arrived for the walk and sent detailed updates with photos. Tesla can be shy, but Deb did a great job! My Tesla was happy when I got home from classes this evening and napped while I did homework indicating so got good exercise today! Thanks Deb, looking forward to our weekly walks :)”
5. Ursula F.
“Ursula is the best! She has walked my dog twice since my injury. She confirms walks very quickly and has great availability. She can handle my dog reactive pup :)”
6. Lindsey T.
“Lindsey is great! She knows how to walk our strong, leash reactive girl. Focuses on using the commands GiGi knows (reinforcing her training) and communicates well with us. She provided a cool Rover Card (we'd never had one before) full of details about the walk, including the route, potty breaks, etc. And she cuddled our girl for a bit before leaving her. We're happy to have found Lindsey!”
7. Valerie C.
“Valerie was professional, sweet, and punctual when walking my pup, Salsa! She was flexible and accommodating as well when our schedule changed. Most importantly, Salsa was immediately comfortable with her and had a great time :) We will definitely use her in the future!”
8. Kat B.
“Kat is incredibly caring and great with dogs. Our pup wags her tail and runs to Kat with excitement for her walk. I really appreciate how Kat works with her on things like manners and getting comfortable being away from home.”
9. Ivory B.
“Ivory goes above and beyond to give our pups a great walk and attention while we are at work. Both dogs happy and tired in the evening. Ivory is quick to communicate with us and takes great pictures of dogs each walk. We highly recommend Ivory!”
10. Alexander S.
“Alexander was a lifesaver, coming to my hotel for 2 walks in one day to cover me for a wedding. Dog well-cared for and my hair and dress were safe from the rain.”
11. Simon A.
“Simon responded very quickly to my request and was super flexible in her approach to taking care of my dog. Her communication was excellent. My dog was clearly excited to see her and go walking!”
12. Rachel W.
“Rachel is an absolute gem!!! She is very flexible, very good communicator and knows exactly how to keep the animals and us happy. She listens to the different needs our pets have and takes care of them as if they are her own. We get regular updates from Rachel on how our pets are doing and our pets have a great connection with her! I highly recommend Rachel for any pet sitting services!!!”
13. Angela G.
“Momo is a 95lb bundle of love. He wants to share that love with everyone he meets, and say hi to all the cats and squirrels! Angela was able to walk, and appreciate our sweet crazy dog! She even handled our dog and a loose pit bull running down the street! Angela is an amazing, awesome dog walker!”
14. kaylin r.
“Kaylin has been great with our three dogs! One of them is very nervous around new people and warmed up to Kaylin in record time. She is always very communicative and punctual, we love the updates we get from each and every visit. Highly recommend Kaylin’s pet care.”
15. Hannah G.
“Hannah has been walking my 2 dogs since November. Currently she walks them 3 times a week. I highly recommend her - she is great with my dogs and they are so excited when she comes to get them. She communicates well and is quick in responding to texts which is important to me. Bodhi and Linden love her, which makes me going into work a lot easier as I know they get a break in their day with someone who cares.”
16. Barbara H.
“Great Dog Walker! Always on time rain or shine!”
17. Eric N.
“Eric has provided great walks for my pup Macy! His communication is very timely and I have appreciated his flexibility with my work schedule. I would highly recommend him for any of your pet care needs!”
18. Jessica N.
“Jessica connects well with my anxious dog and makes sure she is well taken care of when I am not able to walk her. I appreciate the time and love she gives to her. Jessica responds quickly and communicates really well. I would recommend her to anyone who needs support in caring for their pet.”
19. Blake C.
About: I have raised many species of pets, ranging from ball pythons to Great Pyrenees. Caring for animals is part of my personality and a responsibility that I take seriously. I work remotely so I am able to give your pet plenty of attention while balancing my career. I have been able to manage both very successfully. I treat pets as guests when they are in my home. I provide them with attention and opportunities to meet all of their needs. Likewise, when I am in their home I try to be a good guest and let them set the pace for play, needs, and sleep.
20. Jessica C.
“Thank you for being a very caring and super thoughtful dog walker! I trust Jessica to do both cat sitting and dog walking. She is incredibly thoughtful. She noticed a cat was about to vomit on the carpet so she was able to quickly put a towel down to prevent staining and soiling and even offered to clean up a house plant that had been knocked over. I put all my trust into her! Thank you!”
