“Barbara was so kind as to walk our pup, Pepper, same day. She was friendly, approachable, and flexible with timing. Pepper seemed to really like her and had a nice, long walk. I recommend Barbara and will be planning a weekly walk with her :)”
“Great with my little maltipoo. She took care of her and made sure she was hydrated during her walk. She was very professional and very nice. I will be using her again.”
“Jen was great with communication and very prompt to arrive and take Reno for his walk. We appreciated the detailed info on his walk and the cute photos of him too! Will definitely book with Jen again!”
“Olivia is absolutely a gem! Mabel was sooo happy to see, play and walk with her everyday! Olivia was so helpful even with curbing my baby back to using her litter box again #rovermagic !!! Definitely a permanent sitter in my books!!!”
“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”
“We are so happy Nate agreed to walk our 3 big dogs! He was on time every day. They were always excited to see him and the pups responded very well to him. By the end of the week they were walking better for Nate than they do for us! Nate will definitely be our first choice the next time we need someone to walk our dogs.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and feel very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’ve worked as a dog sitter before, and I’ve also volunteered as a dog foster and photographer at a shelter, so I’ve interacted with dogs of all kinds — shy, energetic, or a bit anxious. I'm a stay-at-home wife, flexible of doing dog care every weekday or weekend. My routine already includes walks, playtime, and outdoor time with my own dog, so it’s easy to include another pup. I have a calm home with extra space, a large fenced backyard, and a quiet wooded trail for walks. I only take one dog at a time. My dog is friendly and neutered, and I require vaccinations.
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi — I’m Chen. I’ve spent 4 years caring for a high‑energy Husky, so I understand the needs of active breeds: consistent exercise, mental enrichment, and a predictable routine. I offer tailored walks, focused play sessions, and attentive check‑ins. I provide photo updates, can handle medication reminders, and keep things calm and structured to match your dog’s personality and routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for daytime pet care. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, playtime, or check‑ins while you’re at work, I’ll adapt my hours to keep their routine consistent and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I create a secure, low‑stress environment and follow your pet’s routine exactly — feeding, exercise, meds, and any special instructions. I use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings on walks, and respect cats’ boundaries while providing gentle care. I’m experienced with shy or anxious animals and always work with patience. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I bring 8 years of hands-on experience in pet sitting and dog walking. I have a cat and a large, energetic black lab, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those that pull, jump, or chase squirrels and birds. I genuinely love animals, and they tend to warm up to me quickly. Currently offering dog walking and drop in services only. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a good amount of time on my hands. Most days are open in the morning, afternoon, and evening except Wednesday and Friday evenings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress free. I stick to your routine, handle walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure they get lots of attention. I also send updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Our dog loves Allison! She immediately took to her upon meeting and it is clear that Allison is a great dog walker and a true dog lover. She is very reliable and able to accommodate our busy work schedules.”

Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!
Kristina did a wonderful job caring for Milo. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly very caring with animals. I felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands, and I could tell my dog enjoyed the walks and time with her. She was professional, communicative, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!
Barbara is an excellent dog walker and we will go back to her time and time again. She works very well with our shy border collie and took the time to get to know him (3 visits!) before our first actual paid visit. She is very punctual and communicative which we really appreciate.
Nathan is the exact person you wanted taking care of your pets. He would take little Nathan out for us everyday at lunch time and my dog looked forward to his daily trips with one of his best buds. He always treated Nathan kindly and I never had to worry about anything. Not only was he professional but he became a crucial part of our day to day. I’d gladly take his services any day. 10/10 walker. 1000/10 person!
Kevin is wonderful. Having a difficult dog, can leave you with limited options. Kevin has the patience and kindness that is just what’s needed to get our Brooke leashed up and out for a walk. Once out, I believe she’s well behaved, it’s the initial excitement and new people gets her stirred up. Also, all instructions are followed as I worry if my single dog gets into the area my other 2 dogs there could be an issue. This is the 3rd walk w Kevin. I’m very happy and I can feel confident at work knowing all of our dogs are well cared for… Thanks again Kevin!
