About: Hi! I’m Caitlyn, and I’ve always had a heart for animals. I’ve raised my own puppy who faced ongoing health issues, which gave me firsthand experience in providing attentive, gentle, and specialized care. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly tune in to what a pet needs—whether it’s medication, a slow-paced walk, or just extra cuddles on tough days. I’m available for pet drop ins on weekdays from 5 PM to 8 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. If you’re needing a time outside of those hours, feel free to message me! I’m happy to see if I can fit it into my schedule around my full-time job. I currently do not offer in home care as I don’t have a fenced yard, as for a clients house I hold the utmost respect for your home

At both my home and your home, I can take your dog for walks, play fetch, and let them relax. I can bathe and brush dogs, too. I have an energetic dog who loves new friends if your dog likes companions, and I can also keep our dogs separated if need be.

About: I got a dog when I was 3 years old because me and my siblings were afraid of them. My dog, Max, quickly grew up to be my best friend though. As soon as I learned how to drive I would take him with me everywhere I went and he loved it. My parents often relied on me to give him a bath or to take him on walks. He never liked water so he had to be thoroughly talked through in order to get through his bath. I have always just had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. My mom will have friends that ask me to dogsit for them, or my aunts and uncles ask when they go out of town. I recently lost Max because he was really old so I have been trying to find ways to be around dogs because my parents have so no to getting another one. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your pets. My schedule comes out weekly but is very easy to work around and request days off if needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a tie out cable in my backyard for them to still be able to roam free and sniff around. I don’t have any other dogs but my neighbor does have a very friendly dog that likes to come over and visit if your dog wants to have a friend. I have plenty of dog toys depending on which types you prefer for your dog (ik some dogs aren’t very good with stuffed toys). i have 2 dog beds and a water and food bowl but if there is anything your dog prefers to have I can totally take it. I don’t have a crate at the moment but if your dog needs one I can get one.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses through both personal ownership and my work in veterinary medicine. I am a veterinary assistant and am enrolled in a veterinary technician program, giving me experience with animal behavior, health monitoring, medication administration, and handling pets of all ages and temperaments. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or providing extra attention and comfort while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My veterinary background allows me to recognize signs of illness or discomfort and provide an extra level of care and peace of mind for pet owners. I currently have a flexible availability and can dedicate my time to providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. This allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and ensure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention.
About: I have loved animals ever since I can remember. I have a caring and attentive approach to pet care, making the animals feel comfortable and loved. 🤍I have taken multiple vet assistant classes in school, and have walked and boarded all different kinds of animals. I treat your pets how I would want mine to be treated 💕 let your pets play more while you worry less 🐾 I’m currently working only 3 days a week so I am flexible in scheduling pet care. I am able to watch or play with your pet almost anytime ☺️ I am very good at communicating and keeping in touch with what works best for the pet and the owner. So if caring for your pets in my home or yours works better I am up to either one 🥰
About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.
“Ebone took great care of Justine and she enjoyed her walks. She was on time and prompt keeping our schedule. Ebone is very pleasant and professional. I will be requesting her in the future.”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Arlington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
