Tess was one of the best walkers I have found on Rover. Her communication was great and always sent pictures. She is definitely at the top of my list if I need to book a walker in the future! 10/10 recommend!

Lisa is an excellent dog walker! She was prompt and took Tut on a long walk for an hour where he was able to burn some energy and then relax/nap afterwards till I got home from work. Will definitely work with her again

You could not ask for better people to care for your pet in your absence. They have the biggest hearts and love for all animals. They really treat them as part of the family and have amazing attention to detail. Any instructions you leave for them will be followed perfectly. Your pet will be jumping for joy when they hear you booked these two!

I cannot say enough about Rhys’ care with my bear boi! Beautiful pictures capturing the walks and care back at home. Rhys made sure that bear always had fresh water after their walks and that the house was left in a safe and appropriate state. He even went above and beyond to bring the trash can back to the house after trash day! True animal lover and overall great person. I will definitely be booking with him again!

For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!

My stubborn hound has never been walked by anyone new to her....but Anna was brilliantly unaffected by this behavior and coaxed jer into good long walks ...Anna really loves dogs and I would trust her to handle whatever comes along!

Kyla did a great job at the last minute. I had to run out of town for the night and was able to accommodate me same week. She did nice long walks that kept him sleep while I was gone. Will definitely use Kyla again

Veronica has been the best pet sitter we've had for over 5 years. What makes her so great? 1) She loves dogs. 2) She is responsible and reliable - she never cancelled or didn't follow through with the care of our pets. 3) She is mature, friendly, and professional. 4) Our dog (& cat) love her - Gracie, our Lab, would go right to Veronica and get lots of pats and friendly words in return. Bottom line, you can trust Veronica and know that she will give the best care to your pet because she loves what she does!

Maria and Luis provided excellent care for our 15.5 year old dog. They gave her the slow walks she needed, food and medicine. She was very content when we got home after a 7-day getaway. I highly recommend them.

Michael took great care of my dogs last month. He kept in touch with me throughout the day, sent multiple photos of them walking and sitting. I appreciate that he did some cleaning up even though I didn't ask for it. My pups had great company. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Treat yourself with peace of mind and have Michaela take care of your furry friend. She will become your pet's second best friend. She is kinda and gentle and extremely loving with all pets. Your dog is in excellent hands with Michaela. She has cared for my 2 little dogs, and now when I go out of town, my girls get all excited because they get playtime with their next best friend!

About: I have cared for dogs cats ferrets horses snakes mice from a teenager onwards. Experience with large breed dogs, I’m all for sofa cuddles with all types of animals - my partner and I also work from home with a fenced in back garden! ***As it is summer please make sure your animal Is up to date on flea and tick preventative My partner and I work full time at home, however my job is flexible my dog gets 3 walks a day morning lunch and dinner and that changes based on the weather - to hot we wait until it cools, rainy - we get the rain jacket out. I have a fenced in yard, with ring cams front and back - I have a Great Dane that loves everyone and every animal. I make sure the water is filled anytime I leave and any feeding/snacks are given.
