Dog Walking in Arroz

Esmerilda did a wonderful job watching our dog, Misty, who is anxious and full of energy and difficult to handle. She gave us very detailed reports of each of her visits with lots of pictures. She introduced some new methods for Misty’s diet and care, she brushed her and dried her off after every walk during a big rain storm, and even ran the vacuum cleaner before she left. We’d had a bad experience with our last sitter (not from Rover) and were anxious about leaving our dog and our home in someone else’s hands, but she totally allayed those fears. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing my dog was in such good hands. She is knowledgeable and passionate and responsible- I highly recommend her!

Elliot was absolutely fantastic with our dogs. We needed someone last-minute before going out of town, and he showed up right on time for the meet-and-greet. One of our dogs has significant anxiety when we leave and did not warm up to anyone the entire time we were gone — but Elliot remained incredibly gentle, patient, and respectful of her boundaries the whole time. He even went out to buy more treats when we ran out and was thoughtful enough to ask about any food allergies first. For our anxious dog, he found kind alternatives to walking her so she wouldn’t feel pressured, while still making sure she was safe, comfortable, and cared for. Throughout our trip, he sent pictures, videos, and regular updates, keeping us informed every step of the way. We will definitely be using Elliot again. He’s an amazing dog walker and a truly compassionate, trustworthy person to care for your pets.
