“Katie has been walking Page for a couple of weeks now and we feel very lucky. She is very responsive, conscientious, and great with a timid rescue dog who takes time to trust. I highly recommend her!”
2. Katie C.
“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

Both Poppy and I are looking forward to using Jane for more dog walks to come!”

11. Kaley G.
About: I have had animals since I was 10 years old. I recently lost my family dog Cesar of 17 years. I am now a dog mom to a Shepard/Lab mix Cleo! She is a rescue from Arkansas. I spend almost all my time with her. I am very passionate about spending time with animals and am looking into Rover for the quality time I will get with many animals. I find so much joy in giving animals, especially dogs, a day they will truly enjoy. I have great experience with various breeds of dogs, as I have completed volunteer work and past work as an animal care facilitator. I currently have plenty of time to be booked on Rover. I spend most of my time with my four year old pup Cleo! (Also goes by Cheeto) I have experience with crate training if necessary. My own dog is both crate and command trained. Yes, she is one of those viral dogs who can communicate through buttons. I am more interested in walks, house visits or sittings rather than at my own, due to the size of my house. However I do have a very nice area around my house to walk. This includes a pond and trails.
12. Rachel C.
“Rachel has watched my dog, Kanga so many times and I completely trust her to have my dogs wellbeing in mind at all times. Kanga absolutely loves her and considers her part of the family. I’ve known Rachel for 5+ years and would highly recommend her to watch your baby!”
13. Brittany C.
“Brittany was fantastic. She’s very reliable and always arrived on time. My dog, Bailey, is very excitable when greeting people or dogs; Brittany took it all in stride and helped me work with Bailey to get her to be calmer. Will definitely call on Brittany again! Bailey loves her!”
14. Emma C.
“Emma was great with my dog Jack, he is a very hyper dalmatian so he takes some work. She was always on time and took her time to do the job well. If you need a walker she is a great choice.”
15. madie b.
“Madie is a true dog lover. She has helped me feed, walk and care for my dogs for many years. My fur babies love her.”
16. Tiffany G.
“I am so glad I found Tiffany on Rover. She’s very knowledgeable and treats Zuko very well. Coming from out of state she had made finding a dog walker super easy. She’s very accommodating and would definitely recommend her!”
17. Sierra E.
About: Dogs have always been my favorite animal since I can remember! I love all breeds and will walk, feed, play with, cuddle & love every pup I am entrusted with. Working with dogs is my dream job and you can be assured that I will be 100% responsible with your pets. After all- they're part of your family! This is what i do for a living, so i have open availability and have the opportunity to be very flexible! I take care of dogs daily and love it I have a big open yard and field, both with a long run for your dogs to be on outside. I can take them for a walk on the property leashed (unless trained off leash) and can also provide a loving and safe home for them while youre away. I have a crate here and beds! And will always be attentive to their wants and needs.
18. James & Mallory N.
“I am so impressed with Mallory and James! They are so sweet and I can just tell by watching the videos they send me that my dog is so happy and excited to spend time with them! Thank you!”
19. Jessica L.
“Jessica was great! I highly recommend her for all your pets needs.”
20. Emily C.
“Emily is great with dogs! She brings two very important things to her care of other dogs that I really appreciate. First, she is willing and able to reinforce the training that we’ve worked on with our dog to help her be better in a variety of settings. The other is an astronomical amount of love. I think the best dogs get a healthy balance of both of those qualities, so I have to imagine that dog sitters with me that balance must be the best caregivers!”
