Paul is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly reliable: he answers messages promptly, is always on time for walks, and as a bonus, is a genuinely kind person. I have a 100lb. dog and Paul is able to walk him without issue, and can even wrangle him into his rain coat! I would trust Paul with caring for any animal. Before he leaves everyday, he fills up the water bowl and has never once forgotten. I truly cannot recommend Paul enough.

Carolina has been walking our pup for a little over a month now and she’s been great! She’s very responsive and always leaves our pup with a treat at the end of their walk. She also takes him on long, quality walks which we know he loves. Highly recommend Carolina!

About: I have owned and loved pets my whole life. Growing up I owned dogs, and took care of neighborhood dogs and cats. Now, I own two cats, and love visiting with and taking care of pets of friends and family. I am available most days and times, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Flexible scheduling, and happy to work with your pets routine care and needs! I know how deeply people care for their pets, as a pet owner myself. Each pet has their own personality and attention needs. Whether it be an excitable dog, or a cat that needs a little extra space to feel comfortable, I think it is important to make sure the level they need is appropriately met!

My partner and I both got sick at the same time and Laura was nice enough to take our puppy for walks on very short notice. She always showed up on time and Momo would wait impatiently for her at the door. Her joy at seeing Laura spoke volumes. Thank you!! Would definitely recommend.

About: Substitute teacher during the school year, looking to walk dogs and house sit this summer. As for experience, I grew up with a sweet and feisty Chihuahua named Taco, and for the last 11 years I owned a hyper and loving Australian Shepherd named Josie, who needed lots of activity and attention. Such a fun dog! Currently my school is on summer break, so I can walk dogs during all week days until the beginning of August, except for two week-long trips. My availability has been updated on the Rover app. I provide attentive care that is tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I ensure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of affection and supervision. I follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, training, and household rules to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I keep the environment clean and safe, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate regularly with owners by providing updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for.

Nathan has been walking my dog, Obi, consistently 3 days per week for two weeks and has done a great job! He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.

Hilary did a great job taking care of Mona while we were away. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and it was clear Mona was comfortable and happy in her care. Mona is 17 and has a few extra needs, including medication, and Hilary handled everything perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We’d absolutely book with her again.

Ann went above and beyond. Bandit was having an off day and there were several unexpected challenges throughout the visit, but she handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Rather than rushing him, she took the time to earn his trust and make sure he was comfortable before heading out. Her communication was excellent, despite me being unavailable to answer questions while I was with my trainer, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Bandit’s wellbeing. I’m incredibly appreciative of the extra effort she put in and would gladly book her again.

Nicole is so, so good with anxious dogs like mine. She has a calm energy but isn’t a pushover. That’s important because anxious dogs need to know that someone is in charge. She totally won Ralphie over. If at first he didn’t want to walk far, she still stayed for the full 30 minutes just to pet and talk to him. After a couple of weeks, he totally trusted her and was much more relaxed about walking further. I really can’t say enough good things about Nicole! Ralphie loves her. She’s a gem.
