“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”

“This was the first time using Rover, and a dog walker at that, so I was super nervous. Nicole was fantastic from the very moment we made contact. Glad Marley will now have someone to help when I am away for a day.”
7. Olivia H.
“Olivia was awesome! She provided prompt answers to sitting requests. She always included a detailed update on how the visit went. I also appreciated the photos she included during her visit. I already have more dates I want to book her for! 10/10”
8. Andrea P.
“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.”
9. Breanna P.
“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.”
10. Skye M.
“Skye was wonderful for my pup Olive. Before stopping by she wanted to know my pups likes dislikes and everything she could do for my pup to have a good time with her. She sent me pics and it made me know that my pup was in good hands while I was working. I definitely plan on booking her many times in the future. ❤️”

12. Cheryl S.
“Cheryl has been watching my two dogs for over 5 years. She is extremely trustworthy and reliable, I never have to worry about my dogs while I’m away. The professionalism, attention to detail, and love she shows to my pets are a few examples of her amazing work ethic. She does a wonderful job and I will continue to hire her. Highly, highly recommend!”

“What a great experience we had with Teresa! While we were away, she walked our dog 2x/day. She was always on time and gave him lots of love. I am happy we found her!!”
14. Gioia L.
“Gioia was wonderful with my 7 yr old Golden Retriever, Izzy! Izzy can be skittish around new people so Gioia made sure to go slow and make her feel comfortable. She stuck to Izzy’s routine and sent me pictures throughout the day!”
15. Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn was very dependable and communicative with me when she walked my dog Izzy and fed him while I was away for the day. She sent tons of cute pics and she reported back to let me know that he was very good on the leash (which I was worried about). She made me feel way less anxious about leaving Izzy with someone new!! We will definitely be asking Kaitlyn to return in the future :)”
16. Amberleigh D.
About: I am certified as a veterinary assistant in NY through HVCC. I worked at a veterinary clinic for one year. I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I have even fostered multiple cats and dogs and helped them get adopted. I have also run cross-country in high school, so I have a lot of energy and endurance for dogs that need more time outside. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your furbaby or furbabies! I'm available for services on weekends and weekdays. I enjoy walking every day; I walk at least 5 miles a day and would love company. My pets at home require different care. I have a super hyperactive dog whom I take out every 3 hours for 15 minutes. I also have four cats, and I clean their litter boxes (including vacuuming and mopping the area) daily. My pets are fed twice a day. I trim their nails when needed (my dog about once every 2 weeks and my cats once a month). I also brush and groom them. I have trained all my pets basic commands (NOT Certified), including my cats.
17. Kate O.
“I’d recommend Kate to anyone looking for a pet caregiver! We had a last minute schedule change and needed a dog walker ASAP. She responded to my request quickly and was able to check in and go over to walk my crazy pit bull right on time the same day. She did a great job and I would definitely hire her again!”
18. Ashley P.
“Conscientious of both dogs, careful and considerate! Thank you!”
19. Emily G.
“Emily is nurturing, compassionate and a great leader. Whether it’s a large group of people or an individual, she always makes those around her feel seen, heard and respected. You will always know your fur baby is in great hands with Emily!”
20. Brian L.
“He was very punctual and professional. My dog loved him right away! I would highly recommended and will definitely will be booking again in the future! ???”
