“As always Sabrina and Daniel were extraordinary! Our pup is injured and they did an excellent job of getting him out and moving. They spent time time with a short and easy walk. Then spent time playing with Barney in the back yard. It is so comforting to know our dog is in good care!! The reports are helpful and reassuring. And the pics - mad skills in taking images of our sweet puppy!! We LOVE Sabrina and Daniel!! Thank you!”
“Chandler was so awesome! She was able to accommodate last minute, and was very flexible when scheduling daily walks. She provided a ton of pictures and took such great care of my pup while I was gone. I would definitely recommend booking her for your pets needs!”
“Sebastian was communicative, attentive, professional and efficient. He listened to our specific needs (dog recovering from TPLO, sensitive stomach, pickup times) with care.”
About: I’ve had pets in the house since I was born, I love animals and have been trusted to walk, and house sit for many people in my neighborhood. I love all cats and dogs and would love to work with yours. I am currently a college student at Pomona College. I am very much a morning person and most of my classes start around 10am. This leaves plenty of time in the morning for animal visits. Additionally, all my classes are over by 4pm. In my home we are very careful of our pets safety and I would love to do the same for yours. I always make sure my pets are well exercised and I understand how important that is to a dog and their family.
“My first experience with Megan was amazing and she went above and beyond to make sure my dog was cared for (even drying her off after a rainy walk)! Excellent communication and I will definitely plan on working with her again!!”
“Jessica was fantastic with our Jack Russel. He’s super energetic and has several triggers, but she did a great job getting his energy out. She was super responsive to all of our instructions. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Tanya is great! Professional, responsible, a good communicator, all around pleasant, and obviously knows her stuff about puppies! She did great on a walk with my 9 month old puppy! We can’t wait to see her again soon.”
About: Hello there! I have a 4.5 year-old corgi - Chase! I got Chase when he was a 2 month old puppy, and we've been living a very happy life together since then. Chase makes me know how amazing, genuine and loving dogs are, and spending time with them is truly relaxing and enjoyable! Luckily my work is nearly fully remote, which allows me to spend more time with him. We normally go out 3-4 times per day and will play in the park if weather is nice. When we are at home, we play toys together and also cuddle together while watching TV:) I think dogs are our family members and I believe your dog will have fun here with me and Chase! My job is remote most of time, which makes it very flexible to take care of the dogs. Usually I take my dog out 3-4 times per day to potty and walk. We will also go to the park if weather is nice. When we are at home, I normally take couple of breaks to play with them as well. I live in a apartment and it's very safe. I have a corgi and he is very friendly and playful. I have a crate if it's needed.
“We are so lucky to have found Biancana on Rover! She was amazing and so sweet with our Clancy. She texted us upon her arrival and departure and texted pictures during their outdoor walk adventure. She is sweet, caring and very attentative to our needs/desires for our dog. We will most surely be using her again and recommend her as an A++++ for your needs! We simply can’t thank you enough, Biancana! ~ Clancy, Anna and Grant”
“Emily has been walking my dog Mochi the last several weeks. Mochi loves her walks with Emily and I have found Emily to be reliable, attentive and communicative. I highly recommend Emily!”
“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Angela is wonderful! She keeps things fun by bringing our dog to different parks, and she’s super communicative so we always know how things went. Our dog has a thick coat, so Angela always makes sure to stay in the shade or near water on hot days which makes the walks much more enjoyable for our dog!”
About: I love animals so very much. My entire life, I have cared for some type of animal. I have had dogs, cats, birds, and frogs; and they all lived very long and healthy lives. I am responsible, always erring on the side of safety and caution. I am alert and will always keep your pet safe and out of harm's way. Not only am I responsible, but I am fun and playful. You will come home to your loved one contented and ready for the next playdate! I have a little dog of my own: A pug named Dio, and boy do we have fun. We are always outside, always on an adventure, and always expanding both our worlds. I am very responsible with animals. I will always err on the side of caution, ensuring the safety of the animal. I am alert and I am present. I will adapt my "care style" to whatever makes my client and the animal comfortable. I respect animals and I also respect their guardians!
“Olivia is always on-time, very communicative and prompt when doing so, and very professional & friendly! It’s clear that Olivia cares deeply about pets and has their best interest in mind and it’s been shown through patience with my dog, putting thought into the walk route & approach depending on weather and my dog’s mood, and filling up the water dish when it was low.”
“Justin helped take care of our dog while we were away. Our dog is reactive and Justin did a great job of meeting his needs. Justin was communicative and responded to any questions we had. We would definitely use Justin again!”
About: I have had and been around dogs since I was about 5 years old and have loved every second of it. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I couldn't imagine my life without them. I started taking care of our family pets once I was a teenager and over a year ago I adopted my dog, Bumi, from Seattle Humane. Bumi turned out to be highly reactive and since adopting him I have worked extensively with a trainer and become very familiar with reactive dogs and can handle them well, provided they have some level of training. I have also looked after cats from my friends and acquaintances and have never had a negative experience aside from the occasional ankle swipe or warning bite, as cats are want to do. After working with my reactive dog I have become very sensitive to animals body language and know when to back off. While cats body language is quite different from a dogs I have plenty of experience and know when a cat does not want to be approached. I've loved every single dog and cat I have come across and would love to provide excellent care for your pets. I'm currently an unemployed scientist waiting for the NIH to be funded again so my schedule during the day is wide open. I have some responsibilities in the evening that can last a few hours but can still attend to pets as needed. As I have a reactive dog at home I won't be able to house pets at my home but can come to your house and care for your pets. Your pets safety and well-being are incredibly important to me. This includes stress levels and other emotional issues. While taking care of your pets I will work to ensure their comfort and reduce their stress while you are away.
About: Babysitting dogs is one of favorite activities ever. They're so good and so sweet. I have a few years of professional dog care experience notched. I can make time for animal care. Meeting and caring for new animals and caring for familiar ones is extremely important to me for dopamine reasons. I try to follow established boundaries and rules in the client's home. I generally ascertain the schedules and routine for animal care already set in the home.
Wallingford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rebekah was great with Murphy! She kept me updated after every walk and always left thoughtful notes. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and Murphy seemed to have a great time. I really appreciated her reliability and communication. I'd definitely book with her again!
We cannot recommend Grace highly enough. From the very beginning, she exceeded our expectations in the care she provided for our dog, Maggie. In addition to offering exceptional care, Grace was instrumental in helping us address Maggie’s training needs and anxiety. She took the time to understand Maggie’s unique personality, provided thoughtful guidance, and shared practical strategies that helped Maggie become more comfortable and confident when left home alone. The progress we saw was truly remarkable. What impressed us most was the genuine bond Grace developed with Maggie. Every time Maggie saw her, she would light up with excitement—wagging her tail, wiggling with happiness, and eagerly anticipating their time together. As pet owners, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your dog feels safe, happy, and loved in someone else’s care. Grace’s dedication goes far beyond day-to-day pet sitting. She is deeply invested in the well-being of the dogs she works with and consistently demonstrates professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Thanks to her influence, Maggie is happier, more confident, and better behaved. We are incredibly grateful for everything Grace has done and would wholeheartedly trust her with Maggie again.
Responded to a last-minute request and really helped me out. Levi was great with my dog, Argos, and made the whole experience stress-free. Communication was excellent; I felt confident that Argos was in good hands and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!
Im truly SO grateful for Ana (and I know my dog is too). She’s been walking my dog for the past week while I’ve been in training for my new job. She truly stands out from other dog walkers I’ve worked with (and I’ve worked with quite a few!). She is incredibly reliable, communicative, kind, flexible, and hard working. I feel so good knowing she’s coming to get my girl every day! Also - huge bonus - the photos she sends of my dog are so STINKY CUTE!!!
Kyla is the best walker I’ve ever had. I trust her fully with my puppy. She is attentive, communicative and flexible. She personally assessed my dog’s pain level in the days following an injury and adjusted his activity level to match, carrying him to the park for training games one day and taking him on a bus trip the next (which is great socialization). To top it off, she takes adorable photos during every walk which never cease to brighten my day.
I love Madison, as a trainer and dog walker! She's my go-to for care for my puppy. She's kind, professional, communicative, and balances the needs of the dogs she works with the concerns/challenges that us pet parents carry. My puppy is a challenge (high energy, reactive) and Madison really knows how to work with her. I can't recommend her enough.
