“Our dog Finley had an unfortunate accident before madi got to our apartment for their walk. Not only did she clean it up for us but she went out of her way to mop the floor and take our trash out afterwards! 100% recommend Madi to anyone. She goes above and beyond for the pets she looks after!”
“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”
“Ricardo is great with my dogs! His walks burn off that Golden Retriever energy. I highly recommend him.”
About: I have had at least one pet my entire life. I am as passionate about Cats as I am Dogs. I recently lost my 15 year old Dachshund. He was the love of my life ( sorry Husband). Currently we have three Senior Dogs. We would have more if we had a bigger home. I recently left my position as a Client Care Supervisor at a local Animal Hospital. I was there for twelve years and it was by far the best work experience I have ever had. I adore Senior Cats, Kittens and every Cat in between those life stages. Same with Dogs. Senior Dogs delight me as much as any Puppy. Any Animal in my presence is immediately my favorite Animal. During my years at the Animal Hospital I was never medically trained . I did however learn to recognize symptoms of common medical issues and signs that a Pet needs immediate medical attention. I would love to make your Pet ( or Pets ), my new Best Friend. I am currently unemployed while I participate in an advanced 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I have a fairly flexible daytime, night and weekends schedule. I would like to meet any pets and their owners before walking them or house sitting. I would adhere to the pet owner’s standard of care. I will provide as many photos and updates as the pet owner wants.
“Richard was very consistent and reliable and communication was very good. I believe he also genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dog.”
“Rachael is very reliable, she’s always on time and spends more time with my dog than she has to which shows that she really cares and wants to make sure my dog is well taken care of while I’m at work.”
“Was my first time using rover and Ariel was quick to respond and easy to communicate with which made it so easy and stress free! Maggie looked happier then ever and was well taken care of!”
“Linda is very reliable and great with our dog!!”
“Madison was wonderful helping with daytime walks for our dog Frieda this week! She went above and beyond to make sure Frieda felt comfortable, even spending extra time on their first walk when she was a bit stubborn. Madison communicated clearly after every visit, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work for long hours. It was such a relief knowing Frieda was safe, cared for, and in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I love to make pets feel comfortable while their loved ones are away! I am reliable, communicative, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I have a flexible schedule and a passion to allow for time during the day to take your pet for walks, play, and feed them. You can count on me to provide frequent updates, photos, and open communication. I believe that building trust is the foundation for great pet care.
“Thanks for giving me peace of mind about Ernie.”
“Victoria did such a wonderful job with our Gordo! She was very attentive to his special needs, would highly recommend!!”
About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!
About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently between jobs waiting for a seasonal position, so I am available anytime, other than the occasional appointment or vacation. Available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.
“Walked busy a few weeks ago. Great walker sorry for the late tip”
“Our favorite ❤️”
About: I absolutely love working with dogs! I have at least 9 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats! I volunteered in the cattery in Humane Society and walking dogs as well. I work remotely and can flex my schedule to spend time watching pets or walking your dog. I am very flexible and I can easily work with your scheduling. I have a backyard, but I prefer to walk dogs frequently and take them outside myself for fresh air and outdoor play. We have only 1 pet rabbit, and keep him separated when there is a furry house guest.
About: I currently work at a PetSmart Pet Hotel, where we take care of cats and dogs. I have years of experience taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, and many other animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me as well as relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and take care of their pets. I am currently working at a PetSmart Pet Hotel. I work part-time, anywhere from 20-37 hours per week. I also take care of pets in my apartment building for my neighbors from time to time. I have reliable transportation to and from clients homes. I am good with all animals as well as all breeds of animals. I will give your fur baby lots of cuddles and I will make sure that they are happy.
About: I have been watching animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a house full of cats and dogs, I've been involved with puppies/kittens to senior pets as well. I'm available to administer medication if needed. I've looked after animals for my neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers as well as those I have been recommended to from existing clientele. I currently work full time, but am remote Thursday and Fridays. I work from 8-5 PM everyday, with an hour break from 12-1 PM. I can work around my schedule and yours for your pets needs! Available on the weekends, all day, as well. I have a back yard at my home in case that your fur baby needs to stay with me for a duration. I do have a cat at the home, but he sticks to himself (will hide away - he's not mean but is pretty shy!). If the animals needs to be crated, I have plenty of space for that, or if they are used to free-roaming, the house will be taken care of so there's nothing they'd be able to get into.
About: I've been training and taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old! I have housetrained, crate trained, taken Canine Good Citizen and other obedience classes, and done several years of agility training with my dogs. If you have an active dog, we can go running, hiking, or for long walks around the neighborhood. If you have a couch potato, we can lounge all day! I currently have a five year old Dalmatian mix, Izzi, who loves making new friends! She is very friendly and easygoing, and would love playing with your dog. Izzi comes with me to housesit, so your dog will have a playmate the whole time. I work remotely 2-3 days a week and am available most weekends! My remote schedule is fairly flexible, especially if coordinated in advance, so if you need weekday sitting we can probably work something out! While I don’t have a fenced in yard, Izzi and I go for several walks each day, so your dog will get lots of exercise! My own dog suffered from severe separation anxiety when I adopted her two years ago. We are also working to get over her fear of the car. I know what it's like to be trapped in your house with an anxious dog! If your dog can't be left alone (or is delicate in other ways), let me know and I can make sure to stay with them the entire time. I can work with you to make your dog's experience the best possible! Please tell me any special behavioral or medical needs that your dog has.

Melissa S.
“The very first meeting with Melissa demonstrated her love of, and compassion for, animals. She immediately sat on the floor and took a "selfie" with my dog, Tadpole, a Clumber Spaniel. On their walks, Melissa has taken SO many pictures-- not because I requested them, but because she was completely engaged in the experience. I hired a dog walker because I was recovering from hip replacement surgery. Melissa has been a blessing. She is so enthusiastic, energetic, and caring-- I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a gem for dog care! I would trust her for pet sitting, without reservation.”

“Emily is the BEST! I’ve used Emily’s services on multiple occasions. She is very attentive to my dog and has great communication. She will send updates as much as wanted with pictures and videos! She also has stayed in my home several times and is very respectful. Emily is always my first go-to if I need someone to watch my dog because of the excellent care she gives and I know he will be in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough.”

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.
Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Eastown.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
