This was my first time using Rover and Victor made a great first impression! He was able to get my shy pup to open up and by the end of the booking, they were besties! He was very great with communication and always made sure to let me know how my dog was doing. Would recommend Victor to a friend!

Binta was amazing with my dog Venus even going as far as being able to help Venus with her boots. We communicated the whole time before her walks which made me feel at ease. I will definitely contact her for future walks and whoever is reading this should to.

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!

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: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Thursday anytime after 12:00 PM, all day Friday. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.

About: Hi! I’m Kris — a lifelong animal lover, experienced caregiver, and proud pet parent myself. After years working professionally as a nanny and preschool teacher, I understand how important trust, patience, and reliability are when caring for someone you love. I share my home with my rescue cat, Cosmo, who found me as a sick stray and quickly became the tiny king of the household. I have also been a shelter volunteer for many years, so I'm good with rescues and seniors. I’d love to help local families with dependable walks, check-ins, and companionship for their pets. Whether your pet loves a long stroll, a little extra playtime, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and appreciated. I believe every pet has their own personality (and usually very strong opinions!), and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I work at a restaurant in the evenings, but I'm looking forward to dedicating my mornings/ early afternoons to caring for YOUR fur baby! I'm also available weekends and most holidays. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'm detail-oriented and will always follow an owner's care instructions carefully. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. My years working as a nanny and preschool teacher taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and caring for someone’s family member exactly the way their family would want. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you know your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away!

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!!

Arianna has been nothing short of a godsend! She not only walks Titan, who is 135 pound Cane Corso puppy, but she has also trained him. She is so professional, loving, organized, and knowledgeable that I wish I had found her sooner. When I got home after their first day together, it was like I had a brand new dog. He listened so attentively to his commands. He was so much better at loose leash walking, and he seemed to be over his Dog reactivity issues and I credit Arianna to this fully. I saw on my ring camera, how loving and patient she was with him each time. She took him out and brought him back, and I could tell by the way that he looked at her that he loved her and respected her immediately. I think everybody should have a walker as great knowledgeable, professional, and loving as Arianna. It was very hot that day, and she was also attentive to making sure his water dish was filled after each walk and she made sure he drank water before he went on his walks, and in addition, she also brought water and a dish on their walks because she was concerned about him.

Shelly is so great! We were lucky to have the former owners of our place recommend her during our closing. What a relief to not have to search for a new walker. Shelly is communicative, professional, and flexible. Our work schedules vary from week to week and we've been able to find times that work for everyone. Our Lucy is comfortable with her and we don't have to rush home or worry. Very pleased!
