“I recently hired Jake as my dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! He truly went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog, but he also picked up my mail and even cleaned up my house, which was a delightful surprise. Communication was top-notch; Jake kept me well informed throughout the entire process and sent me tons of pictures, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. His attentiveness and dedication to my dog's well-being were evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“We hired Wade to sit our mini poodle during my wedding all day at our house. He was very punctual, friendly, respectful of our place, and took really good care of our dog with the instructions we had left him. Highly recommend his services and will definitely book Wade again in the future if needed.”

“Lisa was absolutely wonderful I could not have been happier She sent many pictures and reached out to me daily to tell me what her and Beau were doing. She even said if my flight gets delayed to let her know as she will be there for Beau. The house was in perfect shape as well when I got home. I would just book her now if she’s available. She will be my go to sitter for beau Thank you Lisa”

About: Hi there, I am new to Rover but all my life I have loved and cared for animals. I got my first kitten when I was five and in my adult life expanded that love and care to dogs. I currently do not have one of my own but I am a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter. Throughout my adult life I have had wonderful neighbors with whom we have traded dog walking and overnight care with while traveling. Now that I am newly retired I am looking to expand my time and attention to pet parents living in Annandale and Clinton. I am available to drop in, walk and play with your best friend in your neighborhood, and I can stay overnight while you are out of town to keep your dog safe and secure in their known environment. I am also happy to assist with simple chores in your home such as taking care of plants, retrieving mail and any other small but important tasks. I am also willing to board dogs and cats in my home if that is more convenient for pet parents. I am newly retired so have a fairly flexible schedule. I do stay engaged with other activities and travel, so scheduling in advance is very important to me so that when I do schedule care for a pet I want to be sure I have the time to give them the full love and attention they deserve. I am very active for my age in that I run, swim, bike and play pickleball for exercise. Rest assured I am fit enough to handle any dog on a leash. The shelter I volunteer at I deal with a variety of dog personalities and energy levels and adjust accordingly. If you are looking for a pet sitter in your home I can remain in your home for the duration, or if you are just looking for someone to stay overnight with your pet that works too. I am here to accommodate pet parents with whatever accommodations they and their pet are comfortable with. I live on a cul-de-sac with only three other homes on our street. We have a natural, wild area partially in the back and to the side of our home so there is plenty of open space. I have walked many miles throughout my friendly neighborhood streets walking my previous dogs and my neighbor's dog. While in a client's home I am willing to adhere to any schedule the pet parents desire. I am very conscientious of physical security of my property and that of others.

“Meghan was/is amazing! I have 3 dogs and they are attention hogs. Meghan was able to spread her love to all of them for 2 weeks. I also appreciate that she kept their routine!”

“Purvi was so great with my dogs, who can be very anxious around people. They took to her immediately! Her tone and manner with them was perfect. I would highly recommend Purvi as an attentive caretaker and good communicator.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. At least two dogs for as long as I can remember, but currently (and for quite some time) I have four dogs and two cats. I’ve helped train my pets from puppies and cared for them as senior so I have experience in every aspect of dogs’ and cats’ lives. Ive cared for a coworker’s pets in the past and I’ve worked with horses since I was 8. Animals are my life My weekdays are open, especially once I finish school in mid May. My weekends won’t be free for some time, unfortunately. I’m happy to sit at your home with your pets if wanted, especially during the summer, and I love to take them for walks (I know many good trails) and play with them I wouldn’t want to take pets to my home as it is very full of other animals and I wouldn’t want to overwhelm mine or your pets, however I am happy to care for your pets at your home and I will do whatever needed to make your pets comfortable, especially around a new person

“Sarah stayed with our dog Molly for 2 days and nights. She did an awesome job! We could see from all the pictures and updates that Molly was well cared for. Would highly recommend Sarah!”

“Bridget and I were unable to meet, due to a last-minute booking, before she agreed to housesitting with my cat Lily. However, that was not an issue at all because she was very communicative and open with me with any problems in her stay. From the photos that I received, it was obvious that Lily trusted her and enjoyed her company, which is any pet parents first concern. On the last day, although I told her that she did not need to do any of it, she washed the linens from her bedroom, as as well as as the previous sitters bedroom linens, all the towels, the shower curtain, and it was obvious that she had cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen spaces as well. This was above and beyond, but I think it goes to show her attention to detail and her desire to leave your home in the same or better condition than she found it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Bridget again when I have to travel.”

“Diana is an awesome pet and house sitter. She took such good care of my two dogs and stayed in touch with me every step of the way. She also kept the house beautifully. I appreciate all the thought and care that she put into making sure that my pups were well cared for and that I felt reassured. She also sent very nice pictures regularly. Diana was also very responsible making sure that she was available if there were any problems with my flight coming home so the dogs would not be left for too long unattended. I can not say enough about how positive an experience this has been.”

About: I have owned many pets from dogs to cats to bunnies to even a snake. Throughout my life neighbors, friends, family, and others have consistently relied on me to watch and take care of their pets. I also volunteer at animals shelters in my free time and have fostered kittens in the past. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am happy to accommodate specific schedules. I am very respectful of other people’s spaces and only hope to make your pets as well taken care of as possible with the instructions given.

“Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!”

About: I’ve always had multiple pets my whole life from a young age, learned responsibilities by feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, training and medically providing for all my pets and any animal in my care. I have experience working in multiple vet clinics throughout my childhood as I was a pre-vet major up until junior year of college so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and medical knowledge as well. I now have my own dog, Appa, who is 2 that I raised from a puppy and am currently self training. I am currently a phd grad student at vanderbilt university so I have morning classes and lab work, but I live right down the road from campus (less than 5 min drive) and I always come home immediately after my classes/work to be home with Appa. Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I spend as much time as i can working from home so I can be with my dog. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and i live with my 2 year old fur baby named Appa! I have an apt with room for some zoomies and room to play with toys, I have a balcony if they like being outside and my buidling also has a small dog park on the roof with 2 fenced circular yards lined with turf so they can run around at a mini park as much as they want!

About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.
