“Hannah was an exceptional pet parent to her beloved dog, Autumn. She was dedicated to ensuring Autumn's happiness and well-being, from daily walks and playtime to nutritious meals and regular vet visits. Autumn thrived under Hannah's attentive care, she was always eager to see her and showered Hannah with endless affection in return.”


2. Ryan A.

“My dog, who can be quite shy around new people, took to Ryan immediately. It's clear that Ryan has a genuine love for animals and a natural ability to make them feel comfortable and safe. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Ryan provided detailed updates and even sent adorable photos from their walks, which was a wonderful touch and gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in good hands. Punctuality and reliability was always great; Ryan consistently arrived on time and was flexible with scheduling changes when needed. Additionally, Ryan demonstrated great respect for my home and ensured everything was in order upon my return. Overall, I highly recommend Ryan to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog walker. His dedication and passion for his work truly set him apart. This experience has been nothing short of exceptional, and I will definitely be using Ryan's services again in the future. 10/10!”

“Ally is an absolute animal lover! She began caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish as soon as she was able to walk and talk. When it comes to caring for your pet she will be thorough, trustworthy, kind, and compassionate. With Ally in charge, you can enjoy your time away from home with complete confidence in the well being of your pets!”

6. Cara K.
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life. My entire family owns dogs and we have been helping each other take care of them whenever they need it! I have had dogs through the whole lifespan- from tiny puppy to old senior. Currently, I do not own a dog and I would love to help take care of your fur baby. I currently do not work on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays, so I am open to provide some pet care on those days as of right now! I have pretty wide flexibility on those days. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and have a child free home. I have the utmost respect for your home and property and making sure your pet is comfortable.

“Otis loved, Kevin! He was also extremely attentive and made sure that Otis was cared for and loved. He also made sure Otis got the most out of his walk and enjoyed every second of it. Would highly recommend and will use Kevin again for future walks ☺️”


12. Elyse J.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Elyse for many years, and it’s clear to anyone who meets her that she has a heart of gold. Her love for animals is truly inspiring, and it’s one of the many reasons I would trust her with my pets in a heartbeat. Over the years, Elyse has owned a variety of pets, from playful pups to birds and bunnies, and everything in between. What stands out the most is her incredible dedication to each animal’s well-being. She goes above and beyond to make sure every pet in her care feels loved, safe, and happy. One thing that truly impresses me is her experience with fostering. She’s opened her heart and home to animals in need, providing a nurturing environment until they find their forever families. Elyse has a unique ability to connect with animals and understand their needs, which is something you don’t come across every day. I’ve seen firsthand how compassionate and attentive she is with every pet, and I have no doubt that anyone who chooses Elyse for pet sitting or walking will be in great hands. Her kindness and love for animals is unmatched, and any pet lucky enough to be in their care is sure to thrive. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I can’t recommend Elyse enough!”

“Kelly was great with my two senior dogs. She walked them and fed them dinner. She was responsible and kind. Hope to have her walk the dogs regularly.”


14. Suzanne W.

“Suzanne is reliable and a great dog walker. My dog looks forward to seeing her, and they have great little adventures through the neighborhood. Hope she can continue to walk him weekly for a long time!!”


15. Hunter L.
“Hunter is genuinely one of the sweetest and warmest people ever! He really loves dogs, owns two and a cat. He loves animals to the point of stopping every walker and asking if he can pet their animal. I promise you won’t find someone more caring to look after your pet than him - he will care for your pet like it’s his own. He’s always had pets while growing up as well, so he’s well acquainted with taking care of animals of all ages. I couldn’t recommend him more for a job so well-suited!!”


16. Whitley P.
About: I’ve owned pets most of my life and have years of experience pet sitting and boarding. Every dog I’ve cared for has left happy, loved, and excited to return! I’m new to Rover but eager to help owners with their trips and daily pet care needs. My partner and I have a friendly 1.5-year-old doodle, Ollie, who loves making new friends. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of space to roam in an enclosed yard and inside my home. I work from home, allowing me to offer flexible scheduling for pickups and drop-offs throughout the day. Your pet will have plenty of attention, care, and companionship while staying at my home. Pets are welcome on furniture, and I provide plenty of playtime and cuddles to make them feel right at home! Provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets are welcome on furniture and have plenty of space to roam both indoors and in our enclosed yard.


17. Danielle N.

“Danielle was great! Friendly and sweet to my pup. She also helped me out when I’m in a bind recovering from a surgery. Really appreciate the whole experience.”


18. Hannah O.
“I've known Hannah from time she was very little. When she was 4 years old, her parents adopted a German Shepard/Goldin Retriever as a new born. In a short time Maple was twice as tall as her, and they were best friends. Hannah has her trained to the point Tessa appears like a service dog. Hannah has several other pets also. Her knowledge of animals is pretty impressive.”

“Leila is always great with my pup!”
