About: I learned how to train pets when I was much younger and find it to be a fun and rewarding hobby to do! I have an intense love for all animals! I currently don’t have a job so this will be a sort of part-time gig for me before I get back into school! I am free everyday! I am careful to allow animals to get accustomed to me and will crate if necessary. I am careful with strangers pets and will try my best to have treats on hand!
“My dog immediately loved Anthony and he definitely knows dogs well, since he has one of his own. He is a great walker and highly recommend! Good communication also. Thank you Anthony!”

“Liliana’s the best! We’ve booked her for boarding and walks, and our boys absolutely love her. She’s patient with them, and very attentive. Plus she takes the best pics. All around win!”


“Victor is great with Zuse! He is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a wonderful way with dogs. Zuse always seems happy and well-cared for after their time together. If you are looking for a walker who is professional and genuinely cares about your pup, I highly recommend Victor!”

“We’ve just started working with Jenny and it’s been going great so far! She is always on time or early, very careful to follow instructions about training, and Beaux puppy is already showing positive signs in her walking behavior.”

“Jonathan was the perfect communicator and buddy to Rocko during the week. He always got right back to me, took tons of pictures of their walk around the neighborhood, and even put the doggie jackets on so he wouldn't get cold 🥹 Would absolutely book again!!”

“Nicole is terrific! She walked my pup Sadie twice a day for several days and did a great job. She was in close contact about how Sadie was doing and sent photos. Other than one afternoon when she needed to cancel, Nicole arrived promptly and walked Sadie for a full hour each time as scheduled. Sadie absolutely loved her!”

“Jessica and her husband Ulisies have been a wonderful help for my family during a very trying time. I couldn't be more grateful for the way they have shown up to walk my dog and shower her with love and affection as if she was their own. Wonderful service and wonderful people overall. Will definitely continue working with them!”

About: My name is Jacob and I love dogs! I’ve been walking them and training them since I was seven-years-old. I have experience with dogs both big and small as well as breeds such as pit-bulls, mastiffs, and labradors. I’m comfortable with any type of dog. As for my previous experience, I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood in New York City where I grew up. I also love cats! I have a nice fluff-ball named Deebo. I love the little guys! I have references and will provide them upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work night shifts starting at 10:30pm (starting on May 18th) but I’ll be available during the day and evening. Mornings are best, but I’m flexible. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will cherish your pet. I take pride in my work and will ensure that it will seem like I was never there.

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was a child. I’ve owned and care for cats, dogs, hamsters, and even a turtle. I was also allowed to care for my family’s pets while they traveled. I am recently graduated so I have the availability to commit to your pets and their wellbeing for the whole day. I enjoy both outdoor activities as well as indoor activities. As I live in an apartment my home is fairly small, but we are five person household so our cats are always attended to. We have a gate that prevents the cats from entering the kitchen and a pantry filled with cat treats. While I love my cats I am very stern on having a disciplined diet, they eat at a specific time every day and are given a specific amount of food, so that they are not over eating.
“Rebecca was wonderful!! She walked my pups a couple of days in a row, and they felt comfortable with her right away. She was punctual, thoughtful, and communicative; she even dried them off after coming in from a rainy walk. We will definitely be using her again soon!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for about a 4 years now it’s just something that I really love to do one day I hope to open my own dog shelter and save all the animals that are homeless outside so this is just a start for me to get to know what types of breeds With my flexible schedule, I'm available to care for pets 7 days a week, anytime. As someone who's currently unemployed, I can dedicate plenty of time to providing regular visits, overnight stays, or extended care for pets. I'm comfortable traveling in all types of weather and am happy to accommodate last-minute requests. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, or extended companionship, I'm committed to providing top-notch care for your furry friend. As a responsible pet caregiver, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets in my care. This includes providing a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and plenty of love and attention. In a client's home, l take the time to understand their specific needs and preferences, ensuring a seamless experience for both the pet and the owner. I'm committed to maintaining open communication and providing regular updates, so you can rest assured your furry friend is in good hands.
“Tiffany was really great with my dog Mela, who gets pretty anxious on walks and with new people. She took her time and was really gentle with her, and it made me feel a lot better about leaving Mela in her care. I really appreciated it and would definitely book with her again.”

“Derricker is amazing. Long walks and even grooming at times. So appreciative of Derricker and the extras as I recover from a fractured ankle. She is amazing and Beau waits by the door for her arrival at times.”

About: I am a professional dogwalker and have had several four-legged friends in the past 5 years so I am very capable in a pinch to pamper and play with your pets, including dogs, cats and others. I know how difficult it can be to have someone to depend on when things pop up, so I hope I can be here for you. As a grad student, my availability is flexible, great news for pets who prefer not to be alone all day. Currently available for drop-ins & overnight sits; not available to host. With proper notice, I'm happy to set up a meet and greet before care so I can understand navigating your space and your pet's needs, especially before longer care services. Very open to virtually meeting.
“Lalita walked Oliver for several months before I moved and was top notch walker. She trained my boy to leave it, walk nicely and was attuned to him as a parent to a child. She was on time and communicated well. Worth every penny and more !”

About: We love to love on the pets and have been caring for and walking dogs for 7 years. They are all like family to us. I currently work from home on Mondays, Tuesdays and, Fridays and can dedicate time to watching pets. I have my own small dog that I walk twice a day and can take along other pups or walk separately if needed. I ensure that there is nothing on the ground that can harm or be infested by pets. My pet is trained on the wee wee pad but also goes on walks. We do allow pets on our furniture but if you do not allow it in your home that will be strictly enforced as well. This is where floor play and other methods of stimulation and attention comes in.
University Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Marin is such an incredible dog walker for my senior potties. She was consistently reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. Marin was attentive to Patrick’s needs, accommodating, and always made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. I am truly appreciated her professionalism, kindness, and the genuine care she showed throughout our time working together. Again, I’m grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker 💚

Neil is incredibly consistent and communicative. Each week Neil checks in to make sure we are on the same schedule and often given my schedule I am not as consistent however Neil makes it work and it’s always there to walk Zephyr. Neil is very kind and patient with Zephyr. His prices are very reasonable as well.

Isabelle was amazing with my babies! I felt very safe and comfortable leaving them with her because I knew she would understand them and make sure they had a great time. She was caring, attentive, and kept me at ease the whole time. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!

Nicole was amazing and incredibly accommodating with a last-minute walk request for my dog. She was attentive, patient, and had such a calm and lovely approach that immediately made both me and my dog feel comfortable. My dog absolutely loved her, which says a lot since she can be shy at first. Nicole was also very easy to communicate and work with throughout the entire process. I’d definitely book with her again!

Emmanuel has been walking my dog Phoenix for over a year daily and he is amazing. She can be a very anxious and dog reactive Shepherd but he handles her very well and makes her feel safe. She loves him and gets so excited everytime she sees him. Emmanuel is very communicative with any changes in his schedule or if he is running late to a walk and I appreciate that so much. He's become family!

Drew is amazing! I had a hectic travel schedule with some last-minute changes, and Drew was incredibly accommodating and flexible through it all. He sent frequent photo updates of my girls, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to very happy girls—I’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Victor is great with Zuse! He is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a wonderful way with dogs. Zuse always seems happy and well-cared for after their time together. If you are looking for a walker who is professional and genuinely cares about your pup, I highly recommend Victor!
