“Gary is the best!! He's so amazing with my pups! They love him and really enjoy their walks with him. And, he really helped me out when I found myself in need of a walker on short notice. Can't say enough how thankful I am for him & Rover.com!!”

“I'm very happy with Annie and Dustin. I've been coordinating with them from out of state to walk my little guy (Dexter) while he stays with my dad for the month. I really appreciate how easy they are to communicate with, the photos, and their detailed account of of how Dexter is doing. It makes me feel better about being far away. They are definitely pros. Highly recommend.”

“Danielle was great! Friendly and sweet to my pup. She also helped me out when I’m in a bind recovering from a surgery. Really appreciate the whole experience.”

“Heather was amazing! She went above and beyond and it was our first time meeting her. She came over on short notice the day before to do a quick meet and greet and then walked our dog twice in one day, sent plenty of pictures, hung out with her...I couldn't be happier and will definitely checking her availability for needs in the future.”

“Jason is awesome! He’s very flexible and was able to accommodate me last minute! He has great energy and you can tell he’s a true dog lover! He’s very professional and responsive - I highly recommend him and will be utilizing his services again!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs. Our family had a senior dog who lived until almost 17 years old, so I have plenty of experience with older dogs! I also have a rescue from Detroit now who is my baby. I am a nurse! So, I work three days a week, but I don’t have designated days. So usually I would need at least a couple of days in advance. I do have my schedule for work booked out at least six weeks. So I can be very very flexible apart from the days that I do work. I will treat your pet the same way that I would treat mine! I will always have eyes on them and make sure that they are safe and happy to see you when you get home!
About: I have had multiple dogs growing up my whole life. I always pet sit my family's and friends's pets over vacation or just casual summertime work! I am a well trusted gal who just wants some extra pups to love on! I just want to make sure your pets are taken as well of care as my own when you're away! I want you to feel comfortable that your pets are safe and happy with me. You'll be happy you chose me for sure, I know it! I love to run and play, and sometimes just snuggle. I know they need a lot of attention, and I am here to give it to them all they want! I am currently working as a mental health therapist. I am taking up some some work for pet walking and sitting over the weekends! I am pretty flexible during the week for drop ins and walks. I’m sure we can find something that works for your schedule! I currently do not offer in home pet sitting services as it is not allowed with my current apartment lease agreement. Hopefully in the future I can!
“I had a broken foot so I couldn’t walk my dog. Allie saved the day. My dog is not yet well trained but she’s sweet. Allie got along great with her and I’m sure my pup is going to miss her. I look forward to booking with Allie again. She’s lovely and kind and my willful dog made a new friend. Thanks again Allie!!”

“Merritt did an excellent job walking my two dogs. They immediately got along right away. Merritt listened to all of my concerns and that made walking them easier for both sides”

“Yucca can be a lot to handle on a walk and Skylar did amazing with him. He worked on the heel command with Yucca during their first walk together. I would highly recommend him. He is quick to respond to requests. I will use him again!”

“We are so glad we found Jennifer to walk our dog! She takes great care of him, sends us sweet photos and updates, and has been patient and flexible when we have have had schedule changes. I can tell my dog really enjoys his time with her. We highly recommend her!”

“julia came on time and loki went right out with her - kind of unusual because he is often reluctant to go with someone he doesn't know. i am very appreciative that i didn't have to walk him today. i would definitely call on julia again”

“I unfortunately sprained my ankle and needed to find a dog walker last minute, Dani was a lifesaver and came to walk Ellie 2x/day over a holiday weekend. She was always on time, and clear in communication, and once Ellie figured out she was coming for walks, she would run to her ready to go in the hall. I would definitely feel comfortable having Ellie in her care again!!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up all throughout my life for the last 15 years. My family has two dogs, a Lab and Pitbull who we adore. My experience ranges from senior dogs and changing their diapers to little puppies and their doggie potty pads. I love any doggo I encounter at any age. As for kitties, I have two of my own and my friends call me the crazy cat lady because I’m obsessed with any kitty I come across! During the week, I work remotely Mondays and Fridays. I am usually available on Mondays and Fridays before 9am, between 12-1pm and after 5pm. Tuesdays- Thursdays I am free anytime after 5pm. I will care and love your fur babies as if they were my own! Each pet has complete different personalities and needs so it takes using different approaches. I also prioritize Play to stimulate their minds.
“Kelly has been walking max for more than 2 years and we couldn’t ask for a better person to spend time with our pup. Highly recommend her for walking or long overnight stays.”
