“This was my first time using Rover and was in a tight spot after my go-to walker was out of town. Andrew was more than we could have asked for. Our dog is an anxious fellow but took to Andrew immediately which really gave us peace of mind.”

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.
About: I love pets. Always had cats in my family apartment and played and sit for friends and family dogs as soon as I could. When I was able to live in a bigger house I had co-owned several dogs. I think pets are love givers that just as children needs love and respect, and of course, a lot of fun! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. Perfect for undelailable walks or feeding needs :). I love taking walks, talk to neighbors and go to parks, just as our furry friends do! I have a fenced yard and my only pets at the moment are gold fish. Your pet will be able to run in the fenced and spacious back yard (of course he/she will take walks too!) and spend time inside, in the main floor, in a spacious living room and kitchen.
“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. :)”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide reliable walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets happy and comfortable. Safety, routine, and positive reinforcement are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra exercise, medication, or quiet companionship. Your pet will be treated like family :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have open availability to provide flexible and reliable care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays throughout the week. In the future, my schedule will shift to three days a week, but I will always keep my availability updated and communicate clearly in advance. My goal is to remain dependable and consistent so pets can maintain their routines without disruption. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I make sure the home is kept clean and secure, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so clients have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Experienced with pets of all walks: puppies needing training (I can keep up your methods or try new ones) to elderly pups with medication schedules. Currently, my availability varies during the day, during the week. Planning in advance is super helpful but I can sometimes meet spontaneous needs, especially in close proximity. Reach out to confirm exact availability. I follow all instructions left by the pet owner and take care to set any alarms for reminders I might need. I care for all pets as though they are my own and give them the care I would want someone to give to my pets.
“George had a great walk and extra time outdoors while I was out for a full day. Thomas responded to George’s needs as an older dog sensitive to hot weather. He loved getting out for fresh air and I got a lot of cute photos!”


“Sandi was able to step in for me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more grateful. It’s clear that Sandi is an experienced dog walker in the area and knows just where to take the dogs so they can play and have fun. Thank you Sandi!”

“Delaney was great! Replied straight away to us and accommodated exactly what we needed (a couple of evenings walks for our dog Finn). And most importantly, Finn loved her! We will 100% use Delaney again whenever we need a walk for Finn!”


“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!”

About: I love both cats and dogs, and have sat for both. I’ve had the privilege of feeding, walking, and playing with dogs owned by family, friends, and neighbors my whole life. My schedule is completely open, so I can come by at a moment’s notice. I can come by during the day, in the evening, or even overnight if needed. I’m also available on all holidays. I keep a clean and pet safe environment in my home. I keep the area clear of hazards, dangerous foods, dangerous plants, and other animals
“We are just thrilled with the care Leo's reliability, kindness, and the care he shows for our dog. I happened to be home when he came by yesterday, and saw that he removed his shoes when he came in. Our family doesn't wear shoes in the house and we have a tray next to the door for shoes, but we never ask or expect guests to remove theirs. Leo is so considerate and observant that he did this on his own. I think this speaks volumes about him. We feel very fortunate to have him caring for Jake.”

“Victor was great! We needed a Rover at the last minute during the holiday season and he was available. He met up with us the same day to go over everything and communicated the entire time we were out of town. We came back to a very happy dog! We can’t thank him enough and will definitely try to book again if he’s available.”

“What can I say, Olivia was FANTASTIC!! my dogs are my children, so I'm very cautious with dog sitters. I chose Olivia because of her other reviews and repeat customers. She came to did a meet and greet with my pups and I could tell she was a dog lover right away. She was very sweet with them. Olivia was always on time and was great communicating with me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog loving, walker or sitter! 5⭐️ from me!”

“I was nervous leaving my babies in the hands of someone with no reviews yet, but I have no regrets. My dogs seemed to LOVE him and will definitely book again soon while his prices are so affordable!”

Matty has been an absolute joy to work with and a lifesaver for my crazy husky. He is incredibly responsive and communication is always clear. Recently he was even able to add an extra walk last minute when a work conflict came up. My pup takes a little while to warm up, and Matty was patient, attentive and won him over quickly. The peace of mind we get from knowing that Matty will reliably show up and give our pup an amazing walk while we’re working is a relief. Don’t hesitate to book Matty if you can, 15/10 recommend.

Gio was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Gio. She has a true love for dogs and what she does. I will definitely work with her in the future.
