This was our first Rover experience and Lexi took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our first walk, which was great so she could meet our dog and chat through his quirks. :) She was very communicative, timely and left great notes and pics. Looking forward to booking with Lexi again soon!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and genuine care. What sets me apart is my calm and consistent presence, which helps pets feel safe, especially in their own home. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m available every week day between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, which gives me a consistent window to dedicate time and attention to pets. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so walking dogs or caring for pets during that time fits perfectly into my schedule. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also keep the environment clean and give pets plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
“Guiselle was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, patient, and professional from start to finish. She sent great pictures during the walk and kept me updated with clear and consistent communication, which I really appreciated. The routes were well planned, and she made sure my dog got a thorough walk, even exceeding the scheduled time. She also made sure my dog had water for hydration afterward, which meant a lot to me. It was obvious she truly cares about the dogs she works with and takes her role seriously. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Guiselle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Dominique was great with Bear! He accommodated Bear’s grumpiness and was attentive to my concerns! He went above and beyond! Highly recommend him as your walker!”

“Tali had a great walk with Maggie! I appreciated that she came over to meet Tali earlier in the week before the walk and Tali loved her instantly. She was flexible with some time changes and kept me updated after the walk sharing lots of pictures. Will absolutely continue to have Maggie walk my pup!”
“Diego is great with our puppy on his weekly walk with her! We feel comfortable knowing he's checking in on her while we're away and his communication is great. We tried other services before finding Diego, but they didn't walk the full time and left our dog feeling anxious. Now, she's happy and calm when we come home!”
“Kelly is a fantastic walker and our Ducky has been extremely happy and satisfied with each walk! Kelly is very detailed and will give updates on what Ducky did and where he went after every walk”
About: From age 7-22 I took care of my sweet do Glimmer, a Siberian Husky. I fed her, cleaned after her, and bathed her. The last few years I have helped my sister with her pet sitting and dog walking gigs. I also have 5 cats and have fostered and homed many more. So, I have a lot of experience taking care of pets. Having just moved to Arlington recently, I have complete open availability all days of the week Monday through Sunday from 9 am to 6 pm. I will always adhere to guidelines given by clients regarding their pets and their homes. And will always treat their pets and homes with the utmost respect.
About: I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can watch pets during the workday and am available to walk them in the afternoon. I'm available from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. on weekdays. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I have a small dog of my own (8 lbs) who would benefit from some social time with different kinds of dogs. I can take care of your pet in my home and can occasionally watch them overnight or for multiple days. I can provide food, treats, and a comfortable place to curl up and relax.
“Love Anne!!! She is always so understanding and constantly helps us when we are in a bind. Amazing dog walker and is so understanding of changes in plans!”
“Aurora was great walking our dog. She had great communication, sent updates, and made it very stress free for us! I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and cats with walking, drop-in visits, and in-home care. I've taken care of pets of various ages and needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets with particular needs. I find it especially important with drop-in visits to spend some quality time with pets, if their owners are comfortable with it. I've found it makes a great difference and helps curb their loneliness while their families are away! I am a recent graduate school alum and have a lot of free time in between my work. I am flexible most days to schedule visits throughout a day. It's important to respect every home I enter. This means not pushing a pet's trust and crossing the boundaries of their owner. With an owner's permission, I am happy to spend quality time with a pet while they are away, as I have found it helps them a lot through their absence. I'm comfortable giving oral medications with food and with following a pet's regimen/an owner's directions.
About: I have owned pets for the last 15 years, both cats and dogs. I am available any day, any time for walks or drop-in visits! I am comfortable walking aggressive dogs. I absolutely love animals, and will provide the best care for your pets! I am available any day, any time - my schedule is open to drop in or go for a walk anytime you need, even multiple times per day! I will honor whatever advice or instructions provided, and I am comfortable/experienced in dealing with shy or aggressive pets. First and foremost, safety is important. I will always take the utmost care in making sure your pets are responsibly cared for and I will never put them in a risky or dangerous situation.

Morgan is amazing! My dogs loved her as soon as she entered my home for a meet and greet and she’s been so great with them since. I appreciated that she took notes on their behaviors and any instructions we gave her. She’s been punctual and communicative and it gives me such peace of mind to know that my dogs are in good hands each week. Highly recommend!
Kathryn did a fantastic job looking after our fur babies. She only had to look after Kamo mainly but went through extra mile to give some love and treats to Murphy. She was very attentive to details, and communicated very well when needed for questions. Most of all the pets responded very well to her! We were happy to have her help!
Ethan accepted walk requests from me on short notice and was proactive about meeting up prior to his first walk with Winston. He was patient when having to wait for our office to open from a lunch break to get the keys and was wonderful with Winston. He was very communicative about his status and Winston’s walks. I will definitely book with Ethan again!
