“We absolutely love Mera! From day one, it’s been clear how genuinely caring and attentive she is with my dog. Every walk is thoughtful and tailored, and my dog is always so excited to see them. I really appreciate the reliable communication and detailed updates, which give me total peace of mind. My dog always comes home happy, calm, and clearly well loved. You can tell Mera treats every dog like her own. I couldn’t recommend her more—trustworthy, kind, and truly wonderful with dogs.”
“Ashley was fantastic! She was available for a last minute walk, and did such a great time with Lincoln - she was patient and helped him get some much needed outside time! Thank you Ashley!”

“I really appreciate dog walking services with Phillip and his wife. They are available when I need them and my dogs seem very happy when I return. Will continue to utilize them.”

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life and have been helping neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets for years. As an Eagle Scout, responsibility and dependability are core to who I am — pet owners can trust that their animals will be treated like my own. I'm currently a Finance student at James Madison University with a 3.72 GPA, home for the summer and fully available. I've walked, fed, and looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attention, and genuine care. Whether you need someone to stay in your home, walk your dog daily, or check in while you travel, I'll make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout every visit. I'm a college student home for the summer and fully available Monday through Sunday. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I'm an early riser and take availability seriously. I can accommodate last-minute bookings, early morning walks, and overnight stays. My schedule is very flexible. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect. During house sitting stays I keep the home exactly as I found it, follow all instructions provided, and send photo updates throughout the day so owners always know their pet is safe.
“Krissy is the best! She has been taking wonderful care of our dog! Excellent communicator, very responsive, and and goes above and beyond to help us! Would absolutely book again!”
“Kelley was flexible and helped me with a last minute request for walking my dog. I appreciate her willingness to help in that situation. Kelley was on time, friendly and my dog seemed to enjoy his walk with her. Thank you Kelley!”
“Tracy is amazing! She’s incredibly reliable, flexible, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my rottie is well cared for. I have a 120-pound big baby, and she handles him with ease, making sure he gets the exercise and attention he needs. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or extra help on busy days, Tracy is always there when I need her. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love all animals. I work at a local dog boarding and doggy daycare facility so I have lots of experience with all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own and give them all the pets and playtime they need! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to drop in and care for your dog(s) or take them for a walk. I’m local to the South Riding/Stone Ridge area. I will always make sure to treat your home with respect and care while dropping in with your dogs or taking them for their daily sniff around the neighborhood! I’m great at following instructions so I can care for your dogs the way you want them cared for.
“Best dog walker/sitter out there. Daphne goes above and beyond when taking care of my pup. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care services!”
About: Hi! I’ve always been around dogs and I have worked for Rover more than 3 years now. I have excellent reviews and lots of happy dog owners and pups! We recently got our own puppy (a Cavapoo), who has a lot of energy. I love taking her for long walks and playing with her. Since our dog is still so young, I offer only drop in visits and walks in Brambleton/Ashburn area. I’m happy to help whenever you need an extra hand! Your dog’s safety is my priority number one always when visiting your home or walking your dog. Whenever it’s possible, I’d like to schedule a meet and greet before any service to make sure I understand your wishes and dog’s needs.
“Alexis was wonderful to work with. She sent me pics of my Mandy during their walks and she was very accommodating when I missed my flight and needed her for an additional walk. I would definitely use her again.”
Arcola dog parents share their Rover experiences
Excellent experience with Chirasvi. She was prompt, communicative, and clearly attentive to my dog’s needs. I appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me confidence everything was being handled well. My dog was happy and relaxed when I got back. I’ll definitely be adding her to my regular rotation.
Shelby has been a great dog walker for our two dogs. She walked our dogs while we were traveling and took them for long walks, gave them each specific medications, and alerted us when there was weather that could stress the dogs. She went above and beyond multiple times including to give them Benadryl before storms to help ease anxiety based on our instructions. She’s always responsive and communicative. We appreciate her taking such good care of our dogs!
Mera was wonderful with Jake. From the very first moment he loved her and was excited every time she came for his walks. She was always punctual, very kind, and clearly great with dogs. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Jake was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.
Ivy was the absolute BEST dog walker for my young puppy for 3 consecutive weeks. My puppy loves her and felt safe with her. Ivy is very communicative and will take the cutest pictures of your pups while she’s with them. We can’t wait to rebook with her when she is back home from university. Thank you Ivy!
Amanda was excellent and always on time. I was initially worried that our dog would be distressed being home alone, but Cozy was happy when we returned. He was healthy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I also loved that Rover sent notifications about when he was taken out and how far he walked — such a great feature
