1. Haley S.

“First time Rover user! Haley was polite and accommodating. She came last minute as I am recovering from surgery and my boys were getting stir crazy being confined to the house and the back yard. She was patient, observant and my boys loved her!”


2. Jada P.

“Jada is the only person I trust to watch my pup. I was very nervous to leave him home as a 13 week old puppy; but I felt so much better knowing that Jada was taking care of him. She was very responsive to all of my requests and communicated with me throughout their walk. I could not recommend more!”


3. Scarlett M.
“Scarlet is awesome my dog loves her even the people I have referred to her says she is great 😊 she is definitely great at what she does!!! See you soon!!”


4. Courtney D.
“Courtney is the absolute best dog owner & would take care of anyone's fur babies as if they were her own! She is incredibly responsible, kind & honest. There would be nothing but comfort knowing she was taking care of any cats or dogs. Courtney would make an amazing asset to Rover!”


5. Leslie A.

“Leslie took care of both of my older pawppies ( 9 year old and 13 year old) for more than 2 years on and off. My Chinese Shar Pei and my rat terrier. They required multiple vitamins and medicines, specially my Shar Pei in her ears and eyes, Leslie not only did this in excellence but with love and care, I could always tell my puppies were happy to see her and I had the pleasure of meeting her rescue who she cared for with velvet touch as well. Leslie is kind and firm which in my opinion makes her versatile to care for different breeds since Shar Pei’s can be very stubborn and have a standofish temper. I highly recommend Leslie to care for any dogs and cats.”




6. Danielle K.
“Danielle has made a wonderful impact on my fur babies while I am away. I can trust that they will be well taken care of and well fed. I love that she updates me on them while I am away and they are always so happy and responsive to her. She follows my instructions to a T and I can trust that she cares for them and takes the time to make sure they feel loved. She truly has a warm place in her heart for animals.”


7. Micayla P.
“Micayla would be a good person to have to watch someone’s pet. She loves animals and is a responsible person. She has watched my own puppy before and showed him nothing but love, patience, and compassion. I would recommend her to watch anyone else’s pet as well.”


8. Michelle T.
About: I always thought I grow up to be a dog trainer and even made an obstacle course for my dog at the age of 8. I love all types of dogs and especially high energy pups. I have had a Border Collie, an Aussie, a Labrador and currently have 2 Doberman. We go for several walks through the day and they love to play with other dogs. I work at the fire station for 48 hours on Friday and Saturday. The rest of the week I stay at home and care for my pups, unless I pick up an extra shift. I take the dogs for several walks a day and have a small unfenced yard to let them out on leash. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates at my house if your dogs perfers to sleep in a kennel. I also keep a close eye on my dogs because they are known to get into mischief due to their high energy. I keep them busy with mental stimulation toys through out the day so yours will get those also. I also have a separate upstairs area of the house for dogs who want to be away from the energy of the Doberman. But most of all, I am very flexible and can work with you and yours to make it work!


9. Nancy C.

“Nancy has been great with our dog Bart! Always on time and also gives us great tips as new dog owners. It’s obvious she cares about the animals she works with.”


10. Vanessa P.
“Vanessa is a wonderful person. Over the 20 years I have known her, she is one of the kindest and most caring individuals you will ever meet. She has taken such wonderful care of my cat and my dog, as well as my brother’s dogs on many occasions. It is so hard to leave the pets you cherish, even for a short time, but you can rest assured that while you are away, not only will your furbabies be cared for and in good hands - but they will be loved and adored all the same.”


11. Juana S.
About: Hi! I'm Juana S. When I was in high school, I took four years of Adv. Animal Science classes. So I had to research multiple breeds of dogs, birds, snakes, and cats. I have had dogs as pets since as long as I can remember. From puppy's to senior dogs and sizes from Yorkies to Great Pyrenees! There hasn't been a time where I passed a dog somewhere and didn't just melt. Washing, walking, brushing, cuddling, exercising, feeding, and just letting a dog nap on my lap for hours won't be a problem. I can even try and train your pet if you ask. I've been a dog lover all my life, so I can guarantee that your animal will be safe and loved. Thank you so much for your time. I work from home as a Digital Illustrator, so I have plenty of time to cuddle up with a pet and give the creature my attention since my office is in the living room. So they are always in sight. I currently live in a camper with my own two pups which is why I prefer to house smaller dogs for the time being. My camper is located in a nice neighborhood less than five minutes away from a vet clinic and shops to pick up extra food if needed during a longer stay. Since I work from home, I need a good walk myself every now and again so your furry friend will definitely get to stretch their legs frequently as my walk buddy! My camper is my pride and joy so it’s always kept clean and tidy. Your puppy will be pampered and given full affection every moment they are here.


12. Gladianne A.

“She was very attentive to my dog needs, she even stayed to play with him for a while before leaving”


13. Brianna S.

“Brianna is fantastic. Lady has taken to her like a duck to water. She and lady get along very well together. I highly recommend Brianna for any other clients who want someone to walk their baby who truly cares about their pets”


14. Joseph H.

“Joseph is the best! He comes mid day every day to take my frenchie out while I’m at work. He’s attentive, has great communication, and is very reliable! My little guy loves him and I would recommend him as a sitter to anyone who is looking!”


15. Stormi J.
About: I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up, I was surrounded by rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, and more. Friends and family know me as the go-to person for pet advice and rehoming support. With years of hands-on experience, I’m here to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m a stay at home mom which makes me available to care for animals full time, I’m not away from animals for more than a two hour time - but only if we need a store trip. Our home is fully fenced in, the animals will never be outside or alone with my children unattended. We only take animals from one family at a time.




16. Johana M.

“Johanna is very good with Josie. She is always on time and I get 2-3 pictures per walk which I love. She takes her on a different route each day and I know Josie loves it bc she loves to smell new things. When Josie is tired/too hot Johanna has even carried her home! On multiple occasions. Very appreciative of her going for us 4x/week for the past month or so.”

“I'm thrilled with the dog walking services provided! Their punctuality and reliability have been consistent, ensuring my furry friend gets the daily exercise he needs. She exhibits a genuine affection for animals, creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for my dog. Clear and prompt communication keeps me informed about each walk, providing peace of mind.

19. Saniyah J.
About: I may not have fur babies of my own yet. But, I’m absolutely in love with animals and although I chose the human route of healthcare, they deserve the same amount of love. I currently work at a hospital while going to school full time. The schedule changes from three days out of the week I am swept away. Pet-sitting magic: Stick to routines, pamper your furry friend, play detective for safety, share pet pics, be a superhero in emergencies, keep the home pet-tastic, become their BFF, and check for smiles at the end! 🐾😄
