“We loved working with Felicia! Showed a lot of care for our sweet boy and you can tell she’s really genuine and kind. Always sent us a nice note and many cute pictures after every walk. Would absolutely recommend her! She’ll treat your dog as her own!”
“Affrata is quite literally the best Rover/animal care giver we have ever had. She is so attentive and communicates about everything. She did a wonderful job with our dog and cat! I highly recommend her as a rover.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chanelle is fantastic! She’s incredibly friendly, prompt, and professional, with the added patience to handle our rather barky chihuahua-pug mix. Our dog doesn’t usually warm up to people quickly, but she immediately took to Chanelle, which says a lot. Her calm, reassuring approach made her feel comfortable, and it’s clear she genuinely loves working with animals. Chanelle is reliable and trustworthy, and we feel so lucky to have her as our dog walker. Highly recommend!”
“Shanti is a fantastic dog walker and companion! She cares for my dog just like I would. She's patient and kind with him and we are so happy she spends time with our boy every week. :)”
“Elina is walking my dog, Pomme, on a weekly basis and she has been amazing. She's always on time, communicative, and is able to get a sometimes stubborn pup to take a walk and use the bathroom. She also is genuinely excited to hang out with Pomme!”
About: As a dog owner for over a decade, I love every opportunity to spend time walking and caring for my pup. I have provided in-home and drop-in pet sitting for friends and neighbors for several years. Now I'm looking to do the same for your pups. I'm currently furloughed from my job and so have a very flexible schedule between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, and can also accommodate dog walks on weekends with sufficient advance notice. I take walking safety seriously and will only walk your dog on leash. I am also happy to take them to their favorite dog park to get out those zoomies.
“Leo has been taking our dog on midday walks twice a week for the past few months. He is unfailingly reliable, communicative and responsive. He lets us know if he is going to be even a few minutes later than usual, even though our dog is low-maintenance and large-bladdered! Leo has given us lots of advance notice on the rare occasion when he was not available for a regular walk (e.g., at the holidays). And he's an all-around nice guy. It gives us great comfort to know that our Jake is getting such excellent care.”
“Sarah had been a reliable, supportive, and overall excellent dog walker. I can’t say enough good things. She was willing to take on our dog after our last walker abruptly quit citing “unfriendly” behavior from our dog (no further explanation given). She was cautious and patient, giving us thorough reports of each walk. Our dog seems to love her and is always so happy after their walk. Sarah has also done an excellent job calming our dog when she comes to pick him up (he usually barks like crazy when picked up, but she has him quiet and leashed up within a few seconds of coming in the door). I am so grateful to work with Sarah and I highly recommend her services.”
“Thank you, Mason seemed very happy when I got home! Also thank you for being able to come on same day booking it meant a lot and got me out of a tight situation, have a good day!”
“Laura is amazing! My dogs absolutely loved her from the start. You can truly tell how much she cares for and loves the animals she works with. She has such great energy, and my pups were always excited to see her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely continue to use her for my fur babies. Highly recommend!”
“AMAZING! So sad to lose Olivia during the day as she heads back to her full-me day job 😭😭😭 your 4-legged Fam MUST experience Olivia’s TLC. Our Hershey truly thinks she is a gem 💎 the detailed visits w/plenty of photos are what we enjoy reading and seeing each time she cares for 🐶. Olivia, thank you for caring for our pup exactly how we do 🥰”
“Steve was so great with our dog Betty! He’s super patient and kind and clearly great with dogs. We really appreciated that he spent the full time with her even on a hot day when she could only walk for about 10 min, he still spent time indoors petting and playing with her. We will definitely hire him again!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better dog walker for my pup Aly. Aly loved going on walks with Samantha. Every day I get timely updates with pictures of Aly girl rolling in the grass, smelling the flowers, and having a blast on her walks! Samantha is very reliable, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Katie is sweet, kind, and compassionate. We have booked with her on several walks! My partner and I are are travel RNs who work long shifts. It can be stressful finding a walker in a new area, but as soon as we met Katie, our minds were at ease and we knew our dog Prescott would be well looked after. Katie is very personable, and attentive, I highly recommend her to watch your dog!! I can’t wait to rebook with her again soon. Thank you thank you, so much for helping us with P!”
