“Celine has walked our golden doodle a few times now and she has been extremely kind and accommodating. She is always flexible if plans have changed and our doodle loves her! Will continue to use her for walks ☺️”

“Johnny is great! Johnny understands how to build a relationship with dogs and their owner. In one week he has built a strong bond with my dog and she looks forward to her walks with him. He also takes the time to hang out with my dog rather than taking her out for 5 minutes and leaving. Johnny is very professional, responsive and communicates effectively. He is always punctual and will let you know ahead of time if anything has come up on his calendar. He sends pictures daily of my dog and gives me details of anything that went on during their walk. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Very lucky to have found him!”

“Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”

“Benjamin is awesome! He is reliable, communicative, and, most importantly, great with animals! I know my dog Grizzly looks forward to hanging out with him everyday!”

“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”

“Bella did a great job! My dog was very nervous at first meeting her for the first time but she loved him up and he was better after that! Would ask her to walk my dog again! Thanks Bella!”

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.
“An absolute God-send! I live about 3 hours away and was coming to town for an event. Summer met me at Ulta to take my dog while I got my hair and make up done. Because I went to the wrong Ulta, i was late and she was so accommodating (I communicated for her, so do the same!). She even helped me keep my appointment there while she waited for my dog and I. My dog came back tail wagging and so happy she got to play ALL the fetch!!! Couldn’t recommend her more.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and farm animals since I was young! I currently own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. Perfect for those last minute occasions that pop up. Available whenever needed to take care of your fur baby! The health, wellbeing and safety of your animal is of my utmost concern. I’ll always have your dog on a leash outside (unless you have a fenced in yard) and monitor their reaction to the environment. If there’s anything “off” about your pet I’ll notify you ASAP.
“Shelby is fantastic! He walked my dog, and my son's dog, and he handled it perfectly. I really appreciate that he accommodated a booking with only about 24 hours' notice. He always does a great job, and I feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands. I definitely highly recommend Shelby for anyone looking for reliable, positive, and professional dog walking services! 🐾”

About: Hi there! My name is Melanie and I'm 19. I've taken care of pets my whole life, including my childhood cat of 16 years and dog of 8 years, who have taught me how to care for animals of any age! Over the last 8 years, my family and I have fostered countless litters of kittens and puppies. This has given me a lot of experience taking care of dogs and cats with any personality! I currently have a 8-year-old hound. My pup is a medium sized dog, so I would feel most comfortable with smaller to medium sized dogs! I am a college student with lots of free time between and after classes! Most of my mornings, afternoons, and weekends are free to drop in and take care of pets! During drop-ins and walks, I'll make sure to keep up with any routines your pets may have. This includes feeding schedules, walking schedules and locations, play time, crate time, etc.
“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He has been dependable, trustworthy, and so attentive with her. I just recently downloaded Rover as I started a new job downtown and was nervous about having someone come into my place and care for my girl. I undoubtedly got so lucky to have found Tyler on here. He gives Ellie all the extra pets and lovin when I’m gone at work all day. I will most definitely continue to have Tyler check on her and walk her for as long as he’s willing and able, and I could not recommend his services enough!!😊🐾”

Riverside Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
When Nena's regular sitter was hospitalized right before a business trip we were completely lost and in a panic. Andrea to the rescue! Andrea was super quick and responding to my inquiry for availability, and setting up a meet and greet. Nena was extremely happy and pampered my entire trip, and I came home to a pup that was grinning from ear to ear! Great communication, updates and pictures everyday while I was away. Nena definitely has a new friend in Andrea!

Alejandro was amazing! He gave us so many updates and was amazing at communicating while taking care of our dog. He offered to come by to do a meet and greet and was super nice. We will definitely be booking with him again! An angel to work with & our dog seems to love him too! Thank you, Alejandro!

Mel is incredibly kind, responsible, and someone I feel very comfortable having around Georgia. Georgia absolutely adores her and is always excited to see her, which says a lot. Mel has such a calm, warm presence and is very attentive and communicative. I feel totally at ease having her care for Georgia and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, thoughtful pet care!
