“Was the first time we used rover and didnt wanna leave our baby girl alone while we ate dinner so we decided to book with him. He was able to get our pup walked with a quick booking process and had great communication the whole time.”


“This was my first time using rover and I’m so glad I booked with Carolyn. From the very beginning she was so thorough and explained how rover works and the services she offers. She walked me through everything and made me feel very confident when I booked a walk for my dog Bongo. Carolyn offered to meet Bongo a day before the walk so that he can feel comfortable with her the day of and also meet me! The day of the walk she sent me so many updates and pics of Bongo which made me feel so much at ease. She takes her time and made Bongo feel secure. I’m sure Bongo loves her already! I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn and know she’s my new rover sitter for Bongo! Don’t need to look any further. BOOK HER NOW!”

“Tina is excellent. I’m using rover right now because I just had a baby. My dog is very reactive towards other dogs and is a puller so it’s difficult to walk him with a baby. I’m obsessed with my dog and feel awful I cannot give him the love and attention I normally give him. Very thankful I found Tina. She communicates well and I felt at ease as soon as my dog saw her. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She even walked my dog a bit extra so that made me and my dog very happy. He came back in a good mood. She’s great and reliable so don’t hesitate to book with her!”


“Dulce came through for us on short notice, walking and feeding our two mini poodles with care and attention. Our pups were excited to see her again, as she previously took great care of them during our family vacation in March. We highly recommend Dulce for both daily walks and overnight stays. She's reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does.”
