“Thank you so much! I loved the pictures. Kristen stepped in last minute and did a great job with Rigby! We would definitely book with her again.”
“Neha was fantastic! She took the time to meet Comet the day before his first walk, which was incredibly helpful. It was clear that she's experienced with dogs and understands the concerns of anxious pet owners. During Comet's walk, Neha was very patient with him while he was adjusting to having a new walker. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos of Comet. Neha is highly professional and a true expert in dog care”
“Caroline was great to work with! She was very communicative and worked with me to find a good time to meet my dog and take him for a walk. He was very happy and tired when he got back. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Caroline again!”

About: I have spent decades learning how to care for pets, and that means truly listening to them. Everyone is different — a different level of social needs, energy, play preferences — and I am highly attuned to that. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds, including experience administering medicine and managing special diets. At home, I am best friends with my guy, an ocicat named Marcus, who loves to chase shoe laces, go on walks, and learn new commands (he gets straight As in Cat School 🤓). I am currently working part-time with a highly flexible schedule, so I can structure much of my time around your pet care needs! I love spending time with animals and will make sure every session is quality time. I am highly attentive and will take my time to learn your pet’s personality and preferences. It may take a few sessions for us to get a read on each other, and that’s okay! I take your pet seriously as an independent person who deserves to feel secure. I will follow your advice and requirements methodically and thoroughly to make sure your pet feels safe and happy.
“Rebecca is amazing! I have two very challenging dogs (one super timid and the other super protective). She is SO patient and worked through all the quirks my dog was having during her stay and she is very calm and consistent with them! I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
“Oliver was great and handled my two weirdo dogs very well. I came home to happy pups and he communicated well. I would love to work with him again, thank you so much Oliver!”
“Jose is incredibly kind and compassionate and my dog - who is usually pretty wary of new people - warmed right up to him! I would recommend him to anyone that owns a dog.”
“Claire was excellent! She kept me updated and took some cute pics of my dog before/during/and after the walk. She even sent me a picture of my cat when she saw him after walking my dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I am new to Rover but not at all new to dog walking as I’ve had 6 years experience and am happy and excited to have new clients. I've had standard poodles in my family since I was eight years old and have always loved all dogs. Caring for dogs is a passion of mine and I have always enjoyed walking, taking care of, and learning about different breeds! I am truly happy to care for dogs of all ages and breeds! I am currently available most workdays in the mornings and early afternoon! Fridays I have no concrete commitments. Saturdays I mainly keep to myself but Sundays I am available. Please feel free to reach out for specifics. I love to walk dogs and do so on safe, dog friendly routes. I closely monitor the furry friends and make sure they are happy and healthy!
“Gabriel is great with our dog. He has taken time to bond with her so she looks forward to their walks. He is also very communicative and will let you know any problems immediately. He is dedicated and will work to solve any problem.”
“Angelina was wonderful! Accepted our last minute request and went above and beyond. Would definitely have her again to care for and walk our boy.”
“She was amazing! Our dog is very active and excitable and she handled him well. Also- we requested that she come at a specific time and she was right on time everyday. Great pictures and kept us updated on his demeanor. We will use her again. Highly recommend.”
“Paige was great with Gronk and Harley. She quickly recognized their individual habits and personalities and worked with that to ensure the best dor their walk time with her . Paige is wonderful!”
About: Hey there! I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little. I used to walk dogs and get in contact with people through flyers posted on light poles. The house phone would be off the hook… sorry mom. My friends contact me first when they’re heading out of town and I’m always happy to help my neighbors. Let me help take the stress off you when it comes to your fury loved ones :) I’m a photographer (yes I can photograph your dog!!) and am flexible with my time management. Weekdays when work is in the way can be tough but I can help! I have experience crating dogs, long walks, special food necessities and lots love! I enjoy giving extra play time and attention or a comfortable lap to nap on!
“Madison is great! She is super responsive and was very flexible and accommodating with my fairly last-minute request. She is clearly very familiar with dogs and dog behavior and knew how to handle my pup who can be leash reactive with other dogs. Plus, the cute pictures were a nice bonus :) I would definitely recommend!”
“Alyssa was great! Gave our dog Annabelle 3 long walks while we were on vacation. She took pictures, communicated with my house sitter and was very responsive. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I have had 3 cats since I was 5 years old and currently have 2! I have taken care of my neighbors dogs, going for walks, feeding, playing, cuddling, etc. I also cat sit for friends and neighbors. I am currently a commuter student at Emmanuel College as a freshman, so I have free time in the afternoons after my classes for part time work! I have 2 cats right now and adore them! I am very experienced with them as well as dogs. I dog sat everyday for 1.5 years, a 1 year old Golden Retriever. I would go on 30-45 minute walks as well as spend about 30-40 more minutes in the yard playing with toys as adolescent dogs have so much energy! I would make sure she got water and food as well.

“Olivia is an exceptional pet sitter. They genuinely love animals and treat each pet with the same care and attention as their own. They send thoughtful updates and photos, and take the time to understand your pet’s behavior and routines, which helps them connect and notice any changes. Olivia approaches everything with responsibility and care, making sure your pet is well looked after. They are also great with pets with complex needs like medications, etc. I highly recommend them — they are truly reliable and dedicated. Your pets will be in excellent hands!”

17. Alison D.
“Ally is the best! She knows my dog just as well as I do and cares for him better than I could ever hope to find in a pet sitter or dog walker. My dog loves her so much and is so excited to see her every time she comes. I don’t dread going to work or on vacation any more because I know my dog is safe and sound and happy as can be with Ally. She is very experienced with animals and knows exactly what they need and want. She loves them so much, and you can see it in the way she interacts with them. She is friendly and nice and so easy to work with too. She is always on time and prioritizes my dog’s health, safety, and happiness always. She is very communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. She is the best person to leave your pet with. I wouldn’t trust anyone else more than her.”
