“My dogs loved Raj, and he seemed really comfortable with larger dogs. Was prompt easy to communicate with - will definitely use him in the future !”


About: I am an experienced dog walker/dog sitter and cat sitter. I also volunteered with Pilot To The Rescue. t I make cat houses for stray cats. I visit a lot of rescues to learn more about animals and to educate myself for the future. I want to someday work for a rescue for wildlife animals. I am an online student at Unity College for Animal Health and Behavior. I am primarily free on the weekdays. I would be able to take pets on multiple walks or drop-in visits. Weekends I work night shifts so I am available mornings or anything before 3pm. For your home, I will follow every instruction! I had three dogs growing up, and I would leave a list for my dog walkers. I will also update you with videos and pictures. I ask to leave a leash even if the dog doesn’t need one. It's safe. For a cat(s), I will follow every instruction.


“Frankie is truly a dog lover! My dog Yukio instantly connects with him and they are now best friends! He paid attention to all my concerns and was very helpful and sweet to Yukio. He sent me pictures of their little time together and fed him as well. I highly recommend his services he is great! Yukio is looking forward to their next gateway!”


“Super friendly and my dogs love her! Very easy to work with, communicates very well, and tries her best to accommodate your needs. Will definitely book more in the future ☺️”


“Walden took very good care of our pups while we were away. They have some special needs and it was good to know everything went well and he listened to my instruction. Would definitely book again!”


“Julia is such a caring, reliable, trustworthy Rover host. We were in a bind and asked Julia for help with walks for our two high energy dogs. Despite asking on such short notice, Julia was able to accommodate us into her schedule and took great care of our pups. She sent very detailed photos and write-ups, and even took them for a longer walk one of the days even though we only reserved a 30-minute walk. You can tell Julia really has a passion for animals. Thank you Julia, we will surely be scheduling with you again in the future!”


“So glad we picked her to walk our pup! She is a very calming presence for our dog and reliable. Also very attentive and leaves detailed updates on the walk progress. Will definitely rebook!”


About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I’ve provided hospice care, completed horse grooming training, and recently expanded my expertise by walking several pets both through Rover and beyond. Whether it’s a brisk walk, gentle care, or specialized grooming, I’m dedicated to keeping pets happy, healthy, and loved. I work from home so I can easily dedicate time to your pet. I will be available to care for your pet 7 days of the week. I prioritize creating a safe, stress-free environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I follow any specific instructions to maintain their routine, provide constant supervision, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for.

“Emily is so great with Honey! She knows exactly how to respect her boundaries and still give her direction, and it has meant she has gained Honeys trust so quickly. Looking forward to our new relationship!”


“Corey was absolutely amazing with my baby while I was out of the country. It was a fast turnaround needing to find someone to watch my dog and Corey was extremely flexible meeting with my dog and I. Communication was thorough from beginning to end — from sharing how many vitamins my dog had left, her energy and activity levels, etc.”


“Sarah was amazing!!! This was my first time using a service like this but Sarah made the experience comfortable. Her communication was prompt and the picture were adorable of my little guy. I will definitely use her again and I would recommend her to everyone I know.”


“Emily does a great job with my pup Dolce! She was my dog sitter for when I went out of town for 5 nights and I came home to a happy pup! The apartment was clean and tidy when I came home. She gave me updates along the way and when I got settled back into town I decided to hire her as my regular dog walker for Dolce. She comes twice a week and takes her out. She takes photos along the walk and I feel confident that Dolce is being looked after well. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve dog sat for my neighbors and family for the past few years, since I became a pup parent myself! I love working with animals and even have a few years of experience volunteering at a petting zoo. I’m working full time, but have weekends and Friday evenings free to walk pups! Though I love big dogs I’m a fan of pups of all sizes and would love to meet your pooch! I can crate dogs, teach em how to “give a paw” walk them and give plenty of cuddles! Also can feed them and brush them when necessary!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since a young age. I was the primary caregiver for all of our pets growing up and frequently asked by family and friends to come take care of theirs. I’m currently working part time and therefore have a mixture of daytime and evening availability for walks and house visits. I’m available to start right now. I like to focus first on developing a bond and trust between myself and the animal. This usually involves a combination or time, play, and routine involvement in their lives. I am more than willing to take care of the animals in their own home as I am not able to care for them in mine due to space constraints.

About: I grew up with dogs and have had them all my life, right up until college. Now, my husband and I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. I’ve passed that same love for dogs on to our two kids, now 13 and 16, who are just as passionate about giving dogs the care and attention they deserve. We also have a private, fenced-in backyard, so your dog can safely run and play. Plus, we live near a park where we love to take dogs for walks, giving them even more space to stretch their legs, explore, and have a blast. Our kids bring plenty of energy too—whether it’s a game of fetch in the yard, a jog around the park, or just running alongside your pup, we make sure they have an unforgettable time while you’re away. I work at home and can attend to their daily needs. I also have a backup team of my husband and two kids. We can also deal with any dietary needs requested. We don't have any dogs in the house. We have a fenced in yard. We live by many close parks and love to take long walks.

“I can’t recommend Aiyana enough! From the first day, it was clear that she had a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to know my dog and understand his personality. Every walk was fantastic. She made sure that he had his exercise and mental stimulation. I loved to receive the daily updates and photos. It really put me at ease, knowing he was in such caring hands moreover, the flexibility, reliability, and going the extra mile in certain things for my dog was amazing. I can tell my dog loved her, which is the best reassurance a pet owner can ask for if you’re looking for a trustworthy and passionate dog walker look no further, I highly recommend!”

Anastasiia just started walking Bobby, and he already looks super happy in every pic she sends — tail up, big doggy smile! I can tell he trusts her, which doesn’t always happen with new people. She’s easy to talk to, flexible, and keeps me in the loop. Excited to keep working with her!

Corey was absolutely amazing with my baby while I was out of the country. It was a fast turnaround needing to find someone to watch my dog and Corey was extremely flexible meeting with my dog and I. Communication was thorough from beginning to end — from sharing how many vitamins my dog had left, her energy and activity levels, etc.

Elizabeth was very responsive and caring for Dolly. We really appreciated her patience and working through Dolly's timidness.

Yessica was extremely kind, professional, and loving towards Rolo! We facetimed before booking and I already knew at that point that he’d be in great hands. I would definitely recommend Yessica for any and all dog walking needs!

Cooper was awesome! Billy had a great time on his walk with Cooper. Really easy to work with and was very considerate of how my pup would do in the heat on a long walk!
