Kristen was lovely! On time and very sweet and patient with my anxious pup. She had nice energy, and comes across as very responsible and caring. I felt confident that my pup was in good hands with Kristen. Will definitely hire her again!

Alex was delightful to meet in person for our meet and greet and treated our pup with kindness. Even though Penny hates walking in the rain, Alex got her outside and then played a bit indoors. Fantastic!

About: I am a big believer that humans need dogs as much as dogs need humans and I would love to be that human for your dog! I am currently a student at Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine earning a Masters degree in Biomedical science. I have classes during the week from 8-12, but spend every minute after class home in my apartment with the exception of an hour break to go to the gym. On the weekends i am often studying, so I will be home at all times. I have a small one bedroom apartment that has plenty of room for a dog to have free range. I allow dogs on the furniture and bed so that is no issue. There is plenty of room for a crate, which i would prefer if I am leaving the dog alone while I am at class. There is an excellent 2 mile walking trail around my complex that I do daily and would love to take your dog as my companion!

About: I had two felines for over 15 years but they recently passed away. They were my best friends, but they hated dogs, which brought me to Rover. I love dogs big and small, from german shepherds to a Maltese, I have never had the living situation to have one. I understand the importance of a routine in a dog's life and want to make them as comfortable as possible, especially when their human is not around. I love taking them out to play in the park or snuggling on the couch. Depending on the dog's needs I will take them for a short or long walk. We will make a plan catered to your specific pet. I have experience with giving medicine. I have experience with walking, overnight care, and in-home pups. I've always wanted a dog, let me give yours all the love I have to share. I have a flexible schedule and keep my rover calendar updated! I am an early riser and like to get moving so if you need morning help I am happy to do so. I try not to be out super late so unless I am doing an overnight the latest I'd do a visit it 9pm-10pm. Unfortunately, I can no longer offer home care in my house. For pet parents, I will arrive within the designated time, greet the pet with a warm hello, check the water to make sure it is clean and full, check the food to confirm the amount eaten, take the puppy outside to relieve itself, and/or change the puppy pad if required. Give the dog some good scratches and pats and maybe a treat if available. If the dog wants to play tug-o-war or fetch I'll do some of that too. I would like to tailor the visit to the dog's routine, so as not to cause any undue stress.

I had an excellent experience with Thomas-James C. He demonstrated great patience and professionalism throughout the process. His communication was outstanding — he consistently provided updates, photos, and detailed feedback after each walk. Despite some initial challenges during the first walk, he remained composed and committed to ensuring my dog’s comfort and safety. My dog responded very well to him, and I was impressed by his dedication and reliability. I would highly recommend his services and will certainly be using them again in the future.

About: If you have an athletic or active dog, we are the hosts for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), running the trails, and swimming in a Lake will happen every day. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I have a very open schedule. Usually I go to the park go with my family who enjoy the day doing things outside the house. If you have a last minute appointment or you need anything on the same day I do take them I have a very open schedule one works in the morning and the other one works in the afternoon so your pet will never be alone. I had pets before they pass away. We used to love our pets so much. We took CPR classes and emergency classes for pets just in case.

Stefanie came over twice to walk my dog in my neighborhood. We had a meet and greet first so I could get to know her and see how my dog and her interacted. Well my dog knows good people and instantly became friends with Stefanie, rolling over and asking for belly rubs. Stefanie communicates well and I felt my dog and home were safe in her care. I would use her services again. Thanks Stefanie!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. My earliest memory is of my German shepherd at 3 years old running up to me and giving me lots of love and kisses. We can play as much as needed outside or just chill and relax inside with our friends. I am home most days so am generally available unless I get booked up to take care of your fur baby! You can rest assured your pet will be given lots of love with me! I have a toy poodle that loves company and playing with other dogs! I also welcome cats and can provide a large range of space or a more isolated environment, whatever they prefer!

About: Hey! My name is Nadia Figueroa. I’ve been working with Dogs for 12 years as a supervisor in a dog daycare and a dogwalker, it’s something I enjoy doing as it gets me outside enjoying my surrounding, while having great company with a puppy pal. I feel like I can offer more than most as I can work with your routine and teach basic training, I can administer meds and do any feeding and lighthouse work, such as grabbing mail, watering plants etc. when your dog is with me there is always love at both ends of the leash ❤️. I can never replace you, but I can ease them missing you while your away! I hope to meet some Amazing Dogs and thier owners! I’m a stay at home mom who works part time at an animal rescue & sanctuary in the evening so my days are very flexible My yard will be fenced in soon and I have 2 friendly doggos that love new company to play with! I also have a separate area if your dog would feel more comfortable without any other dogs for boarding

About: Last summer I worked for a local dog-sitting business in my hometown! I have lots of experience with house visits and overnight jobs. I have so much fun meeting new pets, I love them all and I miss getting to hang out with them! I have a part time job in the greenhouse at the OARDC, I love working there and my hours can be super flexible! I’m extra available evenings and weekends I always give pets lots of extra love because I know they can get anxious when their owners are gone. I'll always follow the instructions you provide for me to do what's in best interest of your pet. I'm also happy to water plants or do any other basic house chores while you are gone!

Lauren was, as always, awesome! She showed up on time, kept me perfectly updated, and took our spoiled princess on a walk that clearly made her day. She even made sure there was water and that the queen of the living room was comfy. The whole process was super smooth, and judging by the pictures, my crazy little buddy was absolutely thrilled to be with Lauren 😊

We needed a dog walker on extremely short notice, and Danielle truly came through for us. She was wonderful—kind, accommodating, and professional. She took our dog on a great walk and made sure there was fresh water afterward. Even though it was her first time in our home, everything went smoothly and felt effortless.
