“Celeste was very easy to communicate with and left a thorough report card of their walk every day. Celeste arrived right on time to take Remy for a long walk and even took him to the park to play fetch. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”

About: I have had a mini Goldendoodle for the past five years and raising him has made me adore dogs. Seeing all their unique personalities is enjoyable and I love giving them the best life possible. I regularly watch his cousin so I have plenty of experience handling multiple dogs. I work from home so have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I currently walk my dog a few times throughout the day to get out of the house. I provide attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes by following their instructions and maintaining their dog’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping their home clean and secure.

About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for dogs for family, friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime and keeping dogs company. I’m responsible, patient and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’d love to give your dog some extra attention while you’re away or busy! I currently work just one hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout most of the day and can easily work around your pet’s routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I’m happy to follow your usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you have

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with everything from Yorkies to German Shepherds and Goldens. I’ve also cared for dogs on and off since I was 18, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and, unfortunately, this just isn’t the right time for our family to have a dog of our own. Rover gives me a chance to get some much-needed dog time while giving someone else’s pup a little extra love and attention—which, for me, is a pretty great trade! I really try to meet each dog where they are. If your pup wants a friend to play with, I’m happy to play. If they’re older, shy, or just happiest with some calm company and a good belly rub, I’m equally happy doing that. I pay close attention to behavior and will always communicate if I notice even a subtle change that I think you should know about. I also believe you know your dog better than anyone. I’ll respect your routines, rules, training, and preferences and care for your dog the way you’ve asked me to—not the way I think it should be done. Safety always comes first. Dogs stay securely leashed with me, I avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, keep an eye on what they’re getting into, avoid hot pavement, and double-check doors and gates. I do ask that any history of aggression be shared with me so I can keep both your dog and myself safe. I’m home during the day and have flexible availability for early-morning walks (even before 7!), daytime visits while you’re at work, and evenings. And fair warning: if you’re the kind of dog parent who loves getting pictures, you’ve found the right person. I will happily take a million. 😊 EM As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is fairly flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available for early-morning walks (including before 7 a.m.), daytime walks and drop-ins while you’re at work, and evening visits. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so getting outside for a walk or stopping in to give a pup some attention is something I look forward to—not just another task on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. In your home, I’ll always respect your routines, rules, and instructions—you know your pet best, and I believe their care should stay as familiar and consistent as possible. I’m very safety-conscious. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, and pay close attention to my surroundings and to your dog’s behavior. I’m also careful about things like hot pavement and anything they may try to pick up along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with patience and genuine kindness. Whether they want to play and burn off some energy or just need calm company, affection, and a belly rub, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual—even a small change in behavior.

“Alex is the best!! Before he started walking CJ, he wanted to meet up with us a few times until CJ (who is wary of new people) really warmed up to him. By the time they went on their first walk, I was totally confident that everything would go smoothly. Now Alex walks Cracker Jack regularly and I’m confident that CJ is in capable hands. I cannot recommend Alex highly enough!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs/cats of all sizes and temperaments. I will make sure your dog/cat feels happy ad relaxed while you are away! Get ready for lots of love and playtime. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! My routines are set. I am available mostly on weekdays and weekends. I am pretty flexible when it comes to available hours. It will just depend on the client location whether I can also have availabilities early in the morning or late in the evening. I will care for your pets in my home and I am available for drop in visits. I will meet your pets first and do a walkthrough to understand what needs to be done.

“Fantastic, reliable, clear communicator! Mishka loved him, and my roommate was so relieved to know she would be coming home after work to a happy, comfortable dog rather than one who was crossing his little legs the whole day. Ethan was a great find! If he lived closer, I'd book him regularly, but he mentioned the commute would be tough in the long run. I highly recommend!”

Grew up in an animal family so I have years of experience in NZ & in america looking after dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, and chickens :) Can’t wait to meet your furry friends :) I am currently training at the Washington Ballet, and I live with my 2 sisters who also dance! Between the 3 of us we will take turns walking, feeding & looking after your pets.

About: What sets me apart is my balance of responsibility and genuine care. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I help reinforce basic commands and leash manners using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior dogs, I’m gentle, attentive, and mindful of slower walks, mobility needs, and medication reminders. I’m reliable, punctual, and respectful of your home. Most importantly, I truly enjoy being around animals, and I focus on building trust so your pet feels happy and secure every time we’re together. I study in AU but after classes im totally free. I consider walking dogs a hobby given that I also do exercise. I find it entretaining seeing different dogs and their energy. Personally, I try to treat them as gently as possible, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as I can, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language to understand their needs, whether that means giving them extra affection, space, or stimulation. I also make sure their environment stays clean, secure, and calm, and I always prioritize their health and well-being by monitoring eating habits, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort. Overall, I care for pets with patience, respect, and responsibility, treating them as if they were my own.

Elizabeth has been a wonderful help with my little dog, Pepper, as I recover from knee replacement surgery. She established a good relationship with Pepper right away, and Pepper, who usually resists walking g with anyone but me, trots right out with Elizabeth. In addition, she is right on time each day, and has been flexible about exact timing of their daily walks. I highly recommend her!

Sarah took great care of my dog, Duke, during the days he needed a potty break and some exercise. Not only did she get him a great walk in, but she took him on special adventures and let him play. Besides being a great walker that I knew was taking great care of my pup, she was extremely communicative & gave me thorough updates. So appreciate Sarah and she will be my top choice next time we need someone to walk Duke!

Karly consistently walked my Tucker for 30-45 minutes, making sure he got lots of exercise and even more pets and love. She also did a great job keeping me posted before, during, and after the walks. Overall, if you want great care for your furry friend, Karly is a wonderful choice!

I can honestly say that all the dog walkers I’ve hired from Rover have been great, but Hannah is a standout. She’s been wonderful with my not always easy to deal with Corgi who eats poop if she can and is not good with other dogs. I think Hannah can handle and be loved by any dog. Consider yourself lucky if you get her to take care of yours.

Sara has been walking Wallace consistently for a few months now. I met her in the building we both live in and booked her through Rover just so I could leave this review. She’s the best dog walker I’ve ever had, and I’ve been very fortunate to have all great dog walkers. Sara is always on time, reliable, and most importantly, she genuinely loves Wallace, and he loves her too. Every time she comes into my apartment, he brings her a toy, which he only does with a few people he’s ever met. She also checks his water bowl without me asking and refills it and stays afterward to pet him and hang out with him because she genuinely enjoys being with him and loves dogs (she also loves cats, by the way!). Wallace is reactive to certain dogs on leash, and I’ve never had to worry about Sara handling him, which says a lot. I completely trust her with him. She’s also communicative and sweet and always sends several pictures and videos without me asking every single time, even though she knows I trust her and she’s walked him dozens of times. In summary: Sara is excellent. She loves dogs (and is also obsessed with cats but I don’t have a cat), she’s reliable, communicative, and caring. For Sara, this is an “I love walking and I love dogs so this is my dream” type thing for her. She goes to every dog event our building has even though she doesn’t have a dog so she can pet and play with all the dogs. I’m actually worried about leaving this review because I don’t want her to be so booked she doesn’t have as much time and flexibility for Wallace anymore since I tend to schedule last minute, but she deserves this. I’m also not one to leave reviews often.
