University Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kate was wonderful with Brinkley! He is a very shy boy and she did an excellent job at getting him to interact with her. While he was reluctant to leave (as always), it was an easier exit than we've seen with any other walker so far. She asked great questions and is a great communicator and Brinkley came back happy and tired -- booking a recurring weekly session right now!
This was my second time booking with Hector, and once again he did an excellent job caring for my dog. He is reliable, communicative, and always attentive to my dog’s needs. I appreciate how respectful and professional he is when coming into my home, which makes the entire experience stress-free. It’s reassuring to know my dog is in good hands, and I will definitely continue rebooking with him in the future.
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!
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!
