âAnna is great! I trust her with my baby and will even take super late requests. If you cannot be home and need your little one to be taken for a walk, I would pick her over anyone in the area.â

âChelsea was affectionate and kind with my dog. It was clear from the moment she met that my dog instantly connected. Punctuality can be hard to find these days, and knowing that I could rely on her gave me peace of mind. I'll definitely be booking her services again!â

âNeeded someone to walk my fur baby urgently & Kayla was absolutely perfect. She responded quickly, communicating was effortless & Kane loved her! He canât wait to see you again! Thanks again!â

âAlana is an ABSOLUTE GEM! She shows up, on time, every time and communicates extremely well. We, unfortunately, moved far away and wonât be able to use her services and we are deeply saddened by this. She was, by far, the best experience for our fur babies and will be missed!â

âAlexis provided us dedicated dog walking assistance over the past few weeks. She was very flexible, reliable and easy to communicate with. We would recommend her if you need some extra help!â

âCheyenne was of great assistance in walking and feeding my bernedoodle. I had some last minute travel delays and she was able to assist to care for him. She had a great outgoing personality and an innate ability to bond with your dog.â

âAbigail was great! Sent cute pictures and took my dog for a nice long walk. Sheâs super sweet and great at communicating. I appreciate her coming on short noticeâ

About: Iâve been caring for dogs since I was in the 6th grade, and my lifelong love for animals truly began when my familyâs Rottweilers had two litters of 12 puppies. Being involved in raising, socializing, and caring for that many dogs at once taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of attentive, compassionate care from an early age. When I moved out on my own, having pets of my own was a natural next step. Over the years, Iâve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Iâm very comfortable with feeding routines, exercise needs, basic training reinforcement, administering medications when needed, and recognizing when a pet may not be feeling their best. I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriouslyâensuring they receive not just proper care, but plenty of affection and attention as well. I have a very open schedule so I am able to fit pet care very easily into whatever day I need to. I am blessed to be able to have such a flexible schedule. In clients home I make sure to follow exactly what the pet owner instructs for their pet. I do not stray from what the owners instruct. I always check in with the owner with ant problems or confusion.
âCourtney was absolutely amazing helping care for Jasnah. She was very friendly, showed up on time, and my pup was always very happy at the end of her walks. Would recommend and will reach out again if needed.â

âKaren is fantastic! Provides plenty of care and makes sure your loved oneâs experience is great. All the pictures she sends me puts my mind at rest that my Little boy is doing well and happy! Thanks!â
âI am so thrilled I was able to connect with Natalie to walk our Yorkie Bichon. She was on time, happy to take input about Gilly and her routine. She kept me updated on the walk and returned at the time I asked her to. Gilly loved her and itâs clear Natalie really cares about animals. I know she cares for cats as well and Iâm looking forward to using her regularly. I recommend her wholeheartedly.â

About: I have hundreds of volunteering hours logged with both cat and dog foster agencies and animal shelters. I am experienced with fur babies of all ages and have been caring for animals since I was a freshman in high school! I work from home, and am able to pet sit in a wide range of areas and times during the week. My work allows me to be flexible and available for your pets' needs. I am attentive and careful about details when it comes to your pets. I have experience administrating medicine, keeping pets clean, and providing fun and stimulation for pets from both my own fur babies as well as others I have cared for over the years.
âCharis was on time and super communicative and picked up for us at the last minute which was great. Mollie looked happy and we got great pictures!â

River Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
We love Alexia! She sends so many fun photos and is always attentive to my dog. She notices any weird changes and reports them right away! She also is kind, gentle and patient with my crazy pup. Communication is EXCELLENT! I always feel safe that my baby is in good hands â¤ď¸

Fabiola always takes the best care of Dozer and goes above and beyond! He happened to roll in something during a walk and she took extra care to wash his collar and clean him up which I truly appreciated. You will not regret choosing her for your petâs care!

Veronica was wonderful with my shy rescue dog! She was kind, attentive, and provided consistent updates throughout the duration of my dogâs care, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to friends and family.

I was looking for someone to take my dog Luna for walks when Iâm in the office, and Iâm so happy to have found Kajal! She comes a few times a week to take Luna for a walk and have playtime to get some energy out. Kajal is always reliable and communicative. I highly recommend Kajal!

Bella went on several walks with Bryan over two days, and the experience was excellent. Bella looked happy and calm. He was very attentive and followed all the instructions I gave him. We only had one walk that was a bit later than scheduled, but it was resolved without any issue. Overall, I was very satisfied with his service and would definitely trust him again. đśđ

Elizabeth did a wonderful job walking and caring for our dog. She was very quick, clear and concise in communication. Also her 'Rover walk' logs were great to let us know how Amos was doing. We appreciated how she respected our home coming and going. Elizabeth is fantastic to work with!
