“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”
“Irene is simply fantastic. She is prompt, asks a lot of questions to ensure she is prepared, and quick to respond. She has been kind when our schedule has changed and my dog loves her. Cant recommend enough!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Reliable, caring, and our pups adore her. Always on time, great communication, and she goes the extra mile—literally. Highly recommend to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy dogs!”
“Suzanne F has been a wonderful dog walker. Penny is eager to see her every time she shows up at our door. We are happy that Suzanne can handle Penny's occasional hard pulling and takes her for long walks to burn off enough energy so that Penny can relax when she returns to our apartment.”
“So glad we found Sam B!! She is extremely professional and responsive. She took the time to get to know our animals and she quickly understood their unique personalities and qualities. Sam took wonderful pictures, sent detailed notes, and was always on time. She even did a last minute walk when our plane was delayed. She is A++”
About: I've had pets my whole life, so I understand what they need to feel safe and happy. I live with two dogs and have experience caring for a variety of animals from large dogs to guinea pigs. As a high school graduate, my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a part time job but I am available most of the day to care for your animals. I only care for pets in a clients home. I would respect all household rules and give your pet my full attention making sure to care for them with kindness.

“Brian was great! Super punctual and a true dog lover who was more than willing and able to handle some extra accommodations for our senior dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!”
About: Thank you for considering me. I’ll treat your dog as a member of my own family. I have experience with dogs who have medical or speacial limits. I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have experience with other pets such as cats, snakes, rabbits, lizards, and fish. I love sending you photo updates on your pet. I do understand that the pets decide whether or not to accept someone as a sitter. I hope to get to know your amazing pets, just as well as you do. Thank you. I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently investing myself in education, and preparation for an apprenticeship. Giving time to pet care would be a highlight to my day. Although this was originally created for sitting I am more than confident in walking your dog. I would love to know what training your dog may already have so that I can work with it, rather than against it. If your dog has no training, perhaps we could practice some walking skills together
“Maria has been great for me and my dogs. She immediately won them over during our meet and greet. She send regular updates and photos which are much appreciated while I’m gone. I can also tell she truly cares by the questions she asks regarding the dogs needs.”
“I cannot stress enough how FABULOUS Marina is. She is so gentle and soft spoken and my Aussie who is quite particular about people ADORES her which speaks volumes. She is prompt, thorough and genuinely cares about your furry family members. I am forever grateful for her help with my beloved dog Milo and would recommend her a bazillion times. I am so happy to have found her and look forward to continuing our relationship. 😃”

About: I grew up with a bunch of pets. I always have had at least one dog or cat. I love spending time with all animals!! I have a very flexible schedule - I work remote Mondays through Fridays. I have plenty of time to spend time with the furry animals! Owners home: Will depend on situation - for a dog will walk around the neighborhood or let out in the yard depending on preference. Cat: Will make sure to spend plenty of time with the cat around the house.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and have never gone a day without an animal in my home. I love connecting with animals, making them feel safe, and respecting their boundaries. I've also had multiple dog care professionals in my life, groomers and trainers, who have helped me understand the better the basics about dog care and general wellbeing. Though my experience is mostly with cat and dog care, I am excellent at following instructions and feel comfortable proving care for all animals! I have a completely free schedule! I can accommodate pretty much any schedule for pet parents! This includes any pets that do better with solo care! I care for your pets the same way I care for mine, with love, respect, and immense care. Any care needs you have, walks, feedings, crating, I can accommodate! After 3 years as a teacher in k-12 environments, wrangling a few animals will be much easier than the 30 I'm used to!
“Ugo does an exceptional job walking my pup (who apparently considers humans to be her butlers) and then watering and feeding her at the conclusion of the walk. She is very calm and gentle to which my dog responds well. She is definitely a dog whisperer. Highly recommend Ugo to care for your for babies.”
“Malina is the best. My dog is really nervous around strangers so Malina did a couple meet and greets to get him warmed up before their walks. She’s very patient and attentive and my pup loves her!!”

Maggie is terrific!! See you clearly loves dogs and was fantastic with mine. She was reliable, flexible and went above and beyond. I was actually home because I have an injury and cannot walk my dogs right now and she was kind enough to even go get me something from the store. I would definitely call upon Maggie again.
Ugo does an exceptional job walking my pup (who apparently considers humans to be her butlers) and then watering and feeding her at the conclusion of the walk. She is very calm and gentle to which my dog responds well. She is definitely a dog whisperer. Highly recommend Ugo to care for your for babies.
Erin was fabulous. She was attentive during the meet and greet, was flexible on trying different combinations of walking and yard time, and gave excellent feedback- which I was able to share with another Rover sitter who was helping on additional days during our trip. I especially like the map of the walk. That is very helpful to me as the dog owner to gauge the level of activity. I highly recommend Erin
Casey showed good reviews on Rover! I am happy to reinforce those reviews. Casey is a personable, knowledgeable, kind and caring person about dogs. She has had the privelidge of caring for my special friend because she has earned it and deserves high accolades. I am grateful for Casey in caring for my beloved Labrador. you can't go wrong with her care.
Jackie has been great with our dog June! Our regular dog walker moved away last minute and we were scrambling to find someone to help us out. Jackie has been a godsend! She is reliable, proactive, responsive, and takes our dog for long walks! We would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog walker :)
We are so glad we found Emily! She has been a consistent dog walker for our pup when we’re both working in the office. Our dog is a bit anxious, but she warmed up to Emily quickly and now loves when she sees her for her walks! Emily is responsive, punctual, friendly, and even sends us photos from her time with our pup. Highly, highly recommend Emily!!
