“Olivia was so great with Maverick! I booked for 4 walks and she was prompt and every walk was a good 30min which is perfect for my dog. She sent updates and communicated well. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future”

About: I love dedicating time to pets giving them care, love and fun time. I want to give them the comfort of a warm, attentive and loving presence. I am a stay-at-home student and among other personal activities, I am able to dedicate myself full-time to this service both weekdays and weekends, day and night. I live with my husband and my 14-year-old stepson and we are all pet lovers! Although we may all enjoy the companionship of your pet(s), you can have peace of mind that pet(s) will be cared for 100% by me! I live in an apartment building with lots of comfortable space, safe, with windows screens. There is a dog park in the premises, there are many trails around that we can walk and have fun. Our view is to a beautiful green area where many birds come around to hang out and sing.
“Caroline was very willing to meet Dolly before hand, communicated incredibly well and even took pictures of her. She noted all of Dolly’s information and gave her personalized care which I appreciate. Will be booking again!”

“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!”

“This is the second time Karly has been our walker for Bella. The first time was a 5 week hire while we were out of town. The second time was a short notice two day walker stint. Always punctual through both terms, and always caring. We felt very comfortable knowing Karly was watching our Senior Labrador Bella. Bella loved it too!”

“Traci was absolutely amazing to my sweet Penny. She even bought her a little skateboard to teach my bulldog how to skate since they are known to be great at it. Penny adored her and will use Traci for every Rover walk when needed. She’s prompt and committed to walking on time and very consistent. We love Traci!!”

“Aleasha is amazing! Our pup Nila gets so excited every time she sees her. She is great at communication and very reliable. Aleasha has always done an incredible job of watching to any cues if something is making her nervous and letting Nila show what she is comfortable with and what she is interested in. Nila always comes home happy and ready for a nap.”
