5. Lizzie T.
“Lizzie did a great job with my energetic pup. I really enjoyed how she sent me photos of him throughout the walk, not just at the end. I would hire her again any day.”
6. Omar E.

8. Sean S.
“Aku was extremely shy at first, but he seemed to warm up to Sean pretty quickly! Whenever Aku comes home, he has a smile on his face and heads for the water bowl. He genuinely enjoys going out and about with Sean. Sean is very polite and sweet! He always arrives with a good attitude and allows Aku to come up to greet him at his own pace. In the future, I would like to see Aku's distance walked to be a mile or more during the one hour walk. Definitely will hire Sean again and communicate any extra expectations. Thank you! ??”

“Patricia has been an amazing companion and caregiver for my little cockapoo, Esther. My wife and I travel often during the summer and Patricia has cared for Esther during day trips, overnights, and even for three weeks as we traveled to Japan. Patricia even brought Esther to the vet for a yearly checkup when we were at work and unavailable to make the appointment. You can be confident Patricia will love and care for your pup while they are in her care.”
13. Elizabeth S.
“Elizabeth is a very experienced and reliable dog caregiver. She has watched my young, male German shepherd on multiple occasions, and he absolutely adores her. Her care for animals is obvious and the quality of the care she gives is unmatched by other rovers that I have tried. I would highly recommend her to others looking for a trustworthy, affordable, and reliable dog caregiver (or any other animal).”

“Samantha was awesome about taking our dog Feta on a few walks when she was unable to go to daycare. Samantha was very easy to work with and great at staying in communication with us . Would def recommend her and would absolutely use her services again!”
15. Olivia M.
“Hi! My husband and I have been Olivias neighbor since she was in middle school. A lot has changed since then, but her love for dogs, specifically ours has never faded. Olivia shows great connections with people and animals, and If she’s the one looking after her pet, you are in great hands. Our house has been a zoo at times, Olivia has taken care of our cat, two dogs and bird all at once and still somehow managed to balance class, extracurriculars and her job at a bakery in town. Not only will she love your pets but your pets will love her too”
16. Madi S.
“Have been using rover for years and Madi really stands out. Madi has been a godsend for us with our pet needs- super communicative and clear; great with our older dog, Olive and our young cats; and clearly a HUGE animal lover. Recommend her highly”
17. Julia O.
“Julia grew up in a home that has a combination of cats and dogs and she has been caring and taking responsibility for them for more than 20 years. She has demonstrated her dependability with animals by making sure that all medications and dietary requirements and/or restrictions are adhered to and that the pets in her care are fed and walked according to their needs. Julia is intuitive and compassionate and takes notice when a pet in her care is acting out of character. Julia is a pet-owner herself and has a lot of experience taking care of other people's fur babies.”
18. Keaton T.
“Keaton is my neighbor and has helped us out several times when we need to leave town by walking our 9 year old Great Pyranese Zena. He is great about getting Zena out and about exploring and burning off energy. She has stayed the night several times at his house and most reently in July didn't seem to want to come home with us she was having so much fun. (A sign of a well cared dog) .We always come home to a happy, healthy, sweet girl. We know she is also in great care with Keaton”
19. Cristian R.
“Cristian is a very responsible pet care giver, he’ll make sure all dogs that have a certain walking goal will reach there goal, he double checks to see if owners are okay with him giving there dogs treats and make sure to check about any allergies a dog may have. Cristian is a big dog lover and just wants to provide a dog with a happy and caring experience they deserve!”
20. Dannielle v.
“Dannielle is the best! She helped us last second, when we really needed help. She made sure to send us several updates, with pictures and videos. She was so easy to contact and truly loves animals. She’s the best! I can’t recommend her enough to take care of your pets!!”
