“Did such a great job with our dog - great walks and fun write ups and pictures, and was always flexible and great at communicating. Would definitely work with her again!”

“Dominique was amazing. I was in a little bit of a bind and he came through for me. Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.”

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.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 5-years-old and maintained top-quality care. I work from home and am able to take dogs out to ensure they have ample time to stretch their legs while staying safe and loved! I’m happy to do lunchtime walks or drop in visits if you’re in a pinch. My goal is to make sure your pets are cared for and you’re informed! I’m currently working full-time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I can pop by for a lunchtime visit or any time during the day. I rent a single family home with a fenced in backyard perfect to have pets run around. I love long walks and can dedicate my lunch breaks and afternoons to keeping your pet active.
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”

“Tyler is great, and I trust him with my dog. He made sure to fully understand her schedule and all of her needs. He clearly loves animals and was comfortable with her right from the start. He even went that extra step to refill her water bowl and make sure she was set for the rest of the day.”

“Brittany walked my dog Karuna every afternoon during a busy work week for me. She was very communicative and shared details from every walk. I’m grateful for the attention she gave Karuna and Karuna is very thankful for all the belly rubs!”

About: I’ve been a cat lover since I was a kid. I grew up with two cats, when I went to college I volunteered at a cat shelter, and since college I have worked as a cat sitter. I also have experience dog walking and have lived with dogs in the past. I work from home so my time is very flexible. Looking for opportunities to get out of my apartment and pet sitting is the perfect reason. I will not be providing pet sitting services in my home. I live in a small apartment and do not have room for more animals than the one I have.
About: I’m a runner, an outdoor lover, and a longtime animal person, so whether your pup wants a high-energy run, a long sniff-walk, or a cozy cuddle visit, I’m all in. I adjust to each dog’s personality and needs. Shy pups, playful pups, and everything in between! I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Expect lots of updates, pics, and a happy dog when you get home. If your dog could use some extra exercise, company, or just a friendly face during the day, I’ve got them covered! Excited to meet your furry friend :) Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I’m already out walking and running every day, so adding your pup to my schedule is easy and something I genuinely enjoy. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I stick to your feeding schedule, give plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keep their space tidy. I treat your home with the same respect as my own.
About: Have been a proud cat dad for 3+ years with extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes as well. Have also had experience administering medication to cats (but not dogs) and have no problem trying to give a difficult kitty their medication. I currently have a great deal of flexibility and can work to take care of your furry friend whenever I am needed! I would love I currently have three cats each of whom is very different from the other and I am able to make sure that each has their needs met and get the love they deserve
“It was my first time using Rover and Taylor made the whole experience incredibly smooth! My dog came back still very excited after her 30 min walk. The communication was very prompt given I requested it the same day. She was very friendly! I would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Our Ollie absolutely loves Daniel! From the moment he walked in for the meet and greet they hit it off great! Daniel is very punctual, dependable and communicative. I absolutely trust him with my leash temperamental dog and looking forward to more lunch time adventures for them.”

“Lexi was great! 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!”

Arlington Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brittany is awesome! For anyone looking for a dog walker, we would highly recommend her. She was flexible, punctual, communicative, and was available to help with several walks while I was away for business for an entire week. She even came by for a meet and greet the week before to go over instructions, which we really appreciated! Our two dogs can be a handful and she did a great job with them. We would love to book with her again. Thank you so much, Brittany!

Raven is great! I highly recommend her for your dog walking or pet sitting needs. This was our first time formally working together for a week’s worth of dog walking while I was out of town, but I was happy we already coordinated a “meet & greet” previously before needing these services. Raven arrived promptly every day and also gave great updates from the dog walks. It made us feel great to know our pup Autumn was so well taken care of! We will definitely work with Raven in the future.

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
