“I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.”
“Always very responsive to our requests. Rebecca does a great job taking care of our two dogs once a week. One senior dog with limited vision and the other a nervous puppy and she has been great with both. We couldn’t be happier with all the help she’s provided.”
“Eilleen continues to be a lifesaver in our busy daily schedules! Our dog Abby is always so excited to see her and she gets wonderful long walks and we get lots of information about her acitivities during the visit. Thank you Eilleen!”
“Brianna is great. She was very easy to work with, was interested in learning more about my dog so she knew the basic likes/ dislikes of my dog before the first walk. She is reliable and my dog was very happy and relaxed when I returned from work. Will definitely book again.”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. Over the past six years, I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, and providing general care and attention to my own dog. These last few years I’ve also pet sat for my family members and friends, taking care of their dogs and cats. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and ensuring that they feel well taken care of and loved! I am currently a student at Iowa State University, but everyday I have breaks or long stretches of time where I can drop in on and take care of your pets! I always ensure that I go over with any rules/boundaries with clients and to ask about any additional care towards the pet (like administering medicine). I like to know whatever works best for you and your pets!

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was seven years old and have cared for them at every stage of life—from playful puppies to adopted rescues. Training and spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I hope to become a trainer one day. Right now, I’m a proud dog mom and also volunteer as a dog walker at my local shelter, where I get to work with pups of all sizes and personalities. I'm currently at home full time and my only schedule revolves around my puppy. I'm very flexible and willing to work with what you need. I'm trained in using several types of leads, positive reinforcement, building trust, and treating every dog like one of my own. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible leaving your dog in my care.

“Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.”
About: I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their routine and personality. I reinforce basic training, handle puppies and seniors gently, give medications if needed, and send photo updates every visit. Every pet gets real attention-not just a quick walk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my day around visits and walks. I schedule feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets get consistent attention, and I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for updates and care. I prioritize safety and consistency in both my home and my client’s home. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly and keep doors, leashes, and harnesses secure at all times. I monitor behavior closely, avoid unsafe situations with other animals, and keep the environment clean with fresh water and tidy food and litter areas. I respect the owner’s home, lock up properly after visits, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.

Totowa dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was so thankful to have found Maureen to walk my dog, Jimmy, during my surgical recovery when I was not permitted to walk the dog on a leash. Having Maureen walk the dog during my recovery reduced a lot of stress so that I could recover more quickly. She is an incredible, punctual, flexible, and trustworthy dog walker. She truly loved Jimmy, who gave her kisses after every walk. Maureen followed all my direction for caring for Jimmy. What was most incredible was that Maureen walked Jimmy through the extremely cold weather that we just experienced. She went above and beyond in walking Jimmy through these cold temperatures by wrapping him in a fleece blanket and carrying him to spots where he could poop and pee. Maureen is highly professional and will go the extra mile to take loving care for your dog. I would highly recommend her and would book her again to take care of Jimmy.
I’ve been using her dog walking service for several months, and she’s been outstanding. She’s dependable, attentive, and treats my dog like her own. I really appreciate her updates and photos after every walk. She’s far more than a dog walker — she truly loves and understands my dogs. I can always feel her kindness and patience in the way she treats them.
Lyz has been such a pleasure to work with. She's been great with our 8 month old boxer Ruby. Shes kept great communication with us filling us in how Rubys doing, asks for guidance on Rubys behavior since shes still in her pup stage, and follows instructions well. So happy to have found her.
Donna couldn’t have been more reliable, professional or friendly! She followed our specific instructions with ease and kept me posted along the way. I had no reason to worry and knew our dog was in great hands! I would happily request her help with our best four-legged friend again!
