2. Liz K.
“Elizabeth did such a great job! She was scheduled to take care of Louie twice daily during the recent Arctic cold spell (the daily high temp was about -5°) and she did not disappoint. Thank you Elizabeth!”
3. Beth R.
“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”
4. Jennifer M.
“Jennifer is so great! I have used her a handful of times now for dog walking. She provides very detailed updates during her walk and always listens if I provide her with different instructions for the day. She also quickly caught on to what our dog likes to do - play fetch versus going for walks so she takes time to play fetch. Definitely recommend booking her!”
5. Angel J.
“Angel is a gem of a person and a fantastic dog walker. The way she has clicked with my reserved and scared dog, which has allowed my dog to open up and be happy - it’s great to see. My dog is always so excited to see her for their walks and it has led to my dog’s positive mental health. Angel is prompt, extremely communicative, and very easy to reschedule with. Highly recommend booking with Angel for your dog’s walks!”

7. Maricela P.
“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”

About: I’ve had dogs of all types and ages since I was a kid. I’m well versed in care of senior dogs as well as puppies. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. While I am on meetings quite a bit throughout my day, I have plenty of breaks to play, and make sure they get enough potty breaks. I have a fenced yard with 2 pet friendly bulldogs to keep your companion entertained and happy. I can easily accommodate crates if needed as well
9. Dena G.
“Dena was amazing with my anxious dog. She came before our first scheduled walk to meet my dog and get any instructions I had. She was prompt responding back to me with any questions and provided a detailed report card after her visit. A++. I highly recommend Dena. She went above and beyond on my dog's walk.”

11. Cristina M.
About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dog in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.
12. Emily B.
“Emily is great! She took time out of her Sunday to meet me and my dog, Nash, before a walk so everything went smoothly! She is responsible, kind, and I trust my dog with her! Have booked multiple times and will continue to do so!”
13. Georgya B.
“Georgya is very caring. Anytime she watches my dog, I know she’s in good hands. It’s hard to find people you trust these days, so I’m happy I have found someone I trust!!”
14. Nicole S.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little anxious. I wanted to find the perfect person to take care of Pola, and even though she is new in Rover, it couldn’t be more perfect than Nicole. She was amazing with Pola, she gave me peace of mind and that’s what we needed. Thank you Nicole!”
15. Cheryl R.
“Cheryl was very gentle with Hershey who is timid with people and he was already her buddy after one walk.”
16. Tracy V.
“Tracy is an animal lover, always has been. I promise that if you hire Tracy to care for your pet, he or she will feel like they are the most special pet there ever was. You can trust that your pet will be cared for as if it was her own, complete with plenty of snuggles. Tracy has owned dogs all her life, and they have always been happy, healthy, and well trained.”
