Karen brings her son and the two of them take my pup out every day. She obviously has fun and they are really good to her. I highly recommend her.

About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!

About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I have open availability for pet care, especially when approached with a job further in advance. That being said, I do keep pretty regular hours and have plenty of time so I love my last minute clients too! I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.

About: What sets me apart as a dog walker and pet sitter is my deep passion for dogs and my commitment to their well-being. I bring several special skills to the table that make me an exceptional choice for your furry friend: Puppy Training Expertise: I have extensive experience in training puppies, helping them develop into well-behaved and socialized dogs. Whether it's basic obedience commands, leash training, or potty training, I can provide the guidance and consistency needed to nurture your puppy's growth. Senior Dog Care: I understand the unique needs of senior dogs, including mobility issues, dietary restrictions, and the importance of gentle exercise. I'm equipped to offer the extra care and attention required to ensure their comfort and happiness. Tailored Exercise Programs: I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to dog walking. I'll customize exercise routines to suit your dog's age, breed, and energy level, ensuring they get the right amount of physical and mental stimulation during our walks. Safety First: Your pet's safety is my top priority. I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, and I use the latest safety equipment and best practices during walks. Rest assured, your dog will be in capable hands. Love and Affection: Beyond the skills and training, what truly sets me apart is the genuine love and affection I have for all dogs. I treat each furry companion as if they were my own, providing not only physical care but also emotional support and companionship. Flexible Scheduling: I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your dog's needs and your busy lifestyle. Whether it's a daily walk or occasional pet sitting, I'm here to make your life easier. When you choose me as your dog walker and pet sitter, you're not just hiring someone to take care of your dog; you're gaining a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring partner who will go the extra mile to ensure your pet's happiness and well-being. I am working full-time position from home and am looking to use my time in the evenings and weekends to help other pets get their exercise and gain enrichment. I walk my own dogs during my lunch break on the weekdays and take them for longer walks to the creek on the weekends. For Dog Walking Services in the client's home: Meet and Greet: Before any service begins, I like to schedule a meet and greet with the client and their pet(s). This helps me get to know the pet's personality, any specific needs or quirks they have, and allows the client to feel comfortable with me. Leash Walks: During the scheduled walk, I ensure that the dog gets the exercise they need. Walks are tailored to the dog's energy level and physical abilities. I always carry waste disposal bags to clean up after the dog. Fresh Water and Treats: I make sure to provide fresh water for the dog after the walk, and if allowed by the client, I may offer treats as a reward for good behavior. Safety and Supervision: While in my care, safety is paramount. I keep a watchful eye on the dog, ensuring they stay on a leash and away from potential hazards. For Pet Sitting Services in the client's home: Daily Visits: I visit the client's home as many times as required to ensure the pet's comfort. This typically includes feeding, changing water, and providing companionship. Medication Administration: If the pet requires medication, I follow the client's instructions precisely, ensuring the pet receives their medication on time. Playtime and Exercise: I engage in playtime activities with the pet to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could involve playing fetch, puzzle toys, or just some cuddle time. Regular Updates: I keep the client informed by sending updates and photos of their pet, giving them peace of mind while they're away.

About: (Brand new to Rover) I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, and dogs have always felt like big, goofy, furry toddlers — full of personality, joy, and chaos in the best way. I currently live in an anti‑pet apartment (tragic, I know), so I’m looking to fill that dog‑shaped hole in my heart by being the next best thing: your pup’s reliable walking and hiking buddy. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves long walks, trails, and exploring. Whether your dog is a tiny ball of energy or a large, gentle giant, I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, seniors, and puppies. I’m patient, confident, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks. What I offer: Long walks or trail hikes for high‑energy pups Picture updates so you can see their adventures Flexible scheduling — I’m a teacher on summer break, so I’m wide open With a friendly, upbeat personality, your dog will warm up quickly If your dog needs exercise, company, or just someone who treats them like the lovable toddler they are, I’d love to help. Let’s get your pup out exploring and having fun. As a teacher on summer break, pet care fits naturally and easily into my weekly routine. I’m active every day, walking, hiking, or spending time outdoors, so adding a dog to that rhythm feels like the most joyful part of my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility, which means I can plan walks around your dog’s needs rather than squeezing them into a tight window. (ADDITION: Until May 30th, I can only walk dogs on weekends because of my teaching and coaching schedule) Since I live in an anti‑pet apartment, all of my care happens in your home or out on the trail. I treat every dog like the big furry toddler they are, with patience, structure, and a lot of enthusiasm. Here’s what my care typically looks like: Consistent routines: I follow your feeding, walking, and potty schedule exactly as you prefer. Active outings: long walks or trail hikes for dogs who need to burn energy, or gentle strolls for seniors. Safety first: secure leashing, checking gear, watching for heat, and keeping a close eye on body language. Clean and respectful home care: wiping paws, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Photo updates: I send regular pictures so you can see your pup’s adventures and feel connected while you’re away. Calm companionship: whether your dog is tiny and energetic or large and mellow, I match their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m free all summer, I can offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extra attention, especially for dogs who thrive on activity and routine.

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! I have never gone longer than a few months without a dog in my life and don't think I ever will. I am a 6th grade teacher during the school year, but am looking to help families who do not have the luxury of summers off to create a fun, healthy, and loving experience for their pets during the work day. I have experience taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages: from puppies (8 weeks) to elderly (16 years). I have had Chihuahuas, terriers, English Bulldogs, labs, Bull Mastiffs, Shih Tzus, Dobermans and am currently a proud owner of a 3 year old Olde English Bulldog named Luna. I can promise you that with me, your pets will have one more person that loves and cares for them as much as you do! I am currently off for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am available early mornings through early evenings for drop-ins or walks. I always like to do a meet and greet with every client and their pup(s) to ensure all needs will be met for the dog and owner. As I am coming to your home, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and feel safe entrusting me with the care of your pet!

About: I cared for my dog Bear for 15 years until he passed last year. I have experience caring for senior dogs, giving medication, lifting and assisting walking. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have 10 acres for the dogs to walk and play. Caring for dogs fits easily into my daily routine. We love being at home and to have a dog enjoy the outdoor space makes it even better! I treat pets I’m taking care of like they are my own. I keep a close on them and monitor them to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I want them to feel at home.
