“I highly recommend Mark. He is punctual and super easy to work with, and very professional. He also gives me a summary of how the walks went and take pics. My dog loves to take walks with him, when my dog sees him, he is so happy, maybe even happier that if my dog sees me, that says a lot!”
“Nicole walks our dog daily and we fully recommend her for anyone's pet care needs! Our dog is greatly improving on the leash after his daily walks with Nicole and is so at ease when she is around. Nicole is responsive, on time, and, most importantly, great with our dog.”
“Ben is always amazing. I have been using his boarding service and always had a great experience. This is the first time I traveled for 2 weeks and needed his help to walk my dog during that time. I cant say thank you enough for how much he loves and cares for my dog. He is a truely dog lover, very reliable. Chelsea remembered Ben right away and was so happy when he came to walk Chelsea.”
About: I’ve had two dogs, and currently have one at home. I have trained both of these puppies, and with new pets I am not afraid to ask questions or accommodate to your pets’ needs. I am a full-time student, but I am looking for hobbies. I currently live at home so I have a flexible schedule. I already walk my own dog, so getting some more exercise in never hurts. I’d prefer to meet the pets beforehand so that they are comfortable with me. I want to let dogs get the most stimulation out of their walk by letting them sniff a lot.
“Judson was the ideal dog walker! He was super patient with our pup and gave helpful info during each walk. He is extremely reliable which is hard to find. We are grateful to have found him and would work with him again without question!”
“Krystian provided exceptional service! He took the time to a meet and greet the day before, and did an amazing job with my 2 dogs, especially the little one who was timid and reserved.”
“Ivan is very nice with my dog, he is taking care of my dog really well. My pet is though very picky in liking people but she loves Ivan and very happy with him. I am really thankful to him for taking so good care of her.”
“Jess is great at communicating any little delays in her arrival, and I never worry while I travel. She will do whatever is needed to see that my sweet old dog is taken care of while I am away.”
“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have been dog-sitting for over 10 years. I’m experienced with senior dogs and pets with special needs, and I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I just graduated from a master's program and am currently studying for my licensure test, so I am fairly flexible! For the next couple of months, I am looking to fill my days with pets and practice tests :) I love to send pet parents photos so you can check in on your little one while I'm with them! I also strive to keep your pet's typical routine consistent while you are away, helping your pet stay happy, healthy, and stress-free.
“David is a tower of respect for my energetic dogs. They took to him at first meeting and saw him as a leader. I like David’s and friendliness and warmth. He is a pleasure to have come to my home.”

Cannot possibly overstate how wonderful Bianca was to us and Kona. We had to adjust days and times twice and she adjusted in the app and was extremely malleable, assertive and professional about everything. We added extra walks before leaving town and she was able to accommodate. We never waited on a response, she was always present when we needed to communicate. Bianca exudes trust, efficiency and professionalism - an extremely kind, gentle but assertive presence. Kona is pretty big/strong and sometimes difficult, reactive to other dogs and we were very anxious using rover walking services for the very first time - she provided the ease of mind we so desperately needed. Incredibly detailed feedback and tracking of every single walk, pee, etc… multiple pictures. Whenever we leave town and need help with Kona, we will be crossing our fingers that Bianca is available.
Judson has been a tremendous help taking care of Brody while I am at work. Always on time and provides great feedback and hangs out with Brody afterwards, so he has good company! Great with instructions and care. All the way around fantastic Walker and Sitter! I would highly recommend Judson for anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy Walker/Sitter.
We’ve had such a great experience with Oyindamola! She walked our dog today and was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which we really appreciated. She’s been reliable, kind, and easy to work with, and our dog seems very happy after each walk. We’re grateful to have found her and are looking forward to booking many more walks in the future!
Chris has been a huge help to our family. We needed someone who could handle a rambunctious, large puppy who is still learning to walk on-leash without pulling, and Chris has done an excellent job while also building a positive relationship with our dog. He’s incredibly responsive to messages and has even picked up additional days with little notice. We truly appreciate his reliability and care.
Anne did a wonderful job taking care of Rogue, our Corgi senior! All the pictures and updates were great and helped up feel better during our time away. Anne took extra steps to ensure she got all the right attention and care. I would 100% recommend Anne if you need someone to take loving care of your pet!
Victor is great with my dog Marcie! He made sure to ask about everything he might need to know for her. My cat liked him too. Victor is very kind and conscientious and you can definitely trust him with your pet. He will absolutely go above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of.
Good job on tiring our Gordon setter puppy out, that’s not an easy challenge and you did it twice ! We hope you can continue to take care of Ulu and would just like communication to improve a bit in the future - but we are happy with your work and Ulu seems to love you too.
