“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”


“Shera was absolutely fantastic! She communicated with us, sent us photos and updates each day, which really put our minds at ease. Our dog Oliver was well taken care of. We highly recommend Shera and would definitely book her again!”


“So far, I’m impressed. My dog was being shy and she spent extra time to make sure she was comfy. Renee sent me pictures and was very friendly.”


About: I have never known a world without dogs, and my family has owned at least 2 since the day I was born. I believe it is so important for your dog to get the play time and walks they need for the day! I am a collegiate athlete and training while I’m home for the summer, and working as a part-time nanny! Stopping by to play with and walk your dogs would be the perfect addition to my daily schedule. I am available in the afternoon on Mondays and Wednesdays, after 9am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and all other days of the week! I have two dogs that I adore and walk every day. They don’t play as much in their older age, but love to be loved on.


“Shakil is very personable and accommodating. He was able to walk our dog at the last minute and came the night before to meet her. Looking forward to booking him again in the future!”


“Brittany has been a gem for us and our dog, Jameson. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Jameson looks forward to her visits and comes back happy and well-exercised. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker. Highly recommend!”


“Scott is fantastic! He’s patient with our very “enthusiastic” pooch. Scott is reliable and friendly. We are grateful for his time and kindness.”

“Ashley is the best and my dog absolutely loves her. She always takes such cute pictures of him on their walks. She is always such a pleasure. Thanks for being so amazing Ashley!”

“Jamie made my first Rover experience such a breeze! It honestly went better than I could’ve imagined. Not only was she great at communicating quickly, but she provided photos and updates constantly. She met my dog’s specific needs and also mine as well. I really felt my dog was in such great care. From miles away being able to see constant updates about my dogs visits was just awesome. She definitely did a great job at dealing with my dogs energy and playfully personality which can be a lot for some. She’s great with understanding animals personalities and definitely has that pet whisper thing going. I completely trust her with not only having access to my animal, but my place as well. There was a bit of a fruit fly situation in my apartment while I was away on business and she took it upon herself to help with the situation. She also did a great job with setting up a date and time in handing off my apartment keys to someone else since I wasn’t going to be home to personally get them from her. Overall amazing experience!”

San Jose Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brittany has been a gem for us and our dog, Jameson. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Jameson looks forward to her visits and comes back happy and well-exercised. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker. Highly recommend!

Deb is awesome! She’s a lifesaver for working long hours and makes sure my dogs get their legs stretched and good potty break so I don’t have to worry about them all day. Also greatly appreciate that she always picks up any stuff they’ve gotten into during the day and puts it away. Never expected that so it’s greatly appreciated. Also always checks the water bowls and my dogs seem happy to see her!
