“Amanda came as arranged to walk our dog. She send messages to let us know when she came and left as well as pictures. We will definitely continue to use her services in the future.”
“Leaving a new puppy with a stranger is always nerve racking but from the first moment I met her, she put me at ease. My Great Dane puppy gets so excited to see her every time she picks him up. My puppy recently had to have surgery and was on multiple medication for a few weeks. Brijana was more than happy to give him his medicine and make sure he didn't play too much with her other dogs to ensure he didn't tear open his stitches. As annoying and high maintenance that was for her she never once complained and instead was happy to help get him better faster. We love her so much and there's no one else I'd trust to take care of my puppy. She is the best!! ”

We have a fenced in yard and live in a dog-friendly, super walkable neighborhood.

Nikki S.
“Nikki is the epitome of kindness to animals. My dog is usually shy around strangers but as soon as he met Nikki, it was instant love. It shocked me how it seemed that he had known her his entire life. I've seen Nikki rescue, rehabilitate and foster all sorts of animals in need, and I can honestly say that she truly cares and loves them. There isn't anyone else I would trust to care for my little guy other than her.”

Over 2 pet parents in Vernon have booked dog walking
Vernon dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brijana was so amazing with Fern. We had never used Rover before our recent trip and Brijana made everything easy and kept in great contact before we left to make sure everything was set and sent great updates while we were away to help reduce any fear we may have had trusting someone with Fern. Fern started having an anxious stomach the morning before we left and Brijana accommodated the extra care needed for that seamlessly. You can tell how much she cares about her clients and that she brings a lot of experience and knowledge with her. We came back to a very happy pup and that was thanks to Brijana!
Abigail did a great job with my dog Ranger. He tends to be nervous at first with new people, but Abigail took things slowly and Ranger warmed right up to her. She always provided an update after their walk. Would definitely trust her to take care of Ranger again.
We feel so lucky we found Julia! She has taken such incredible care of our quirky hound/boxer mix for overnight stays and midday walks. Our pup can be a lot to handle sometimes and she made sure to ask all the right questions to understand how to best meet our dogs needs. We can’t recommend Julia enough, she will care for your pet like it’s her own!
Krista and Zach have been great with our pup. We have been using their dog walking service daily for over 8 months now. They are reliable and their communication is excellent. My schedule can change quickly at times and sometimes my kids might be home sick, etc, but they are always flexible with that, which is something we really appreciate. I would recommend them to anyone in need of regular dog walking.
