“Kade took care of our pup and new kitten when we were in a pinch for a sitter. They took the time out of their schedule for a meet and greet and had no problem following our care instructions. Our pup and kitten took to them immediately and we felt so reassured they were safe under Kade’s care! Thank you so much Kade for your help, and we would absolutely recommend booking Kade for any of your sitting needs!”

About: I love absolutely love dogs! I work from home as a Generative AI associate so my schedule is very flexible and ideal for taking care of your dog when you're busy or away. I'm available mornings, afternoons, or evenings, basically whenever you need. And my apartment is located in Shockhoe Bottom near two parks, ideal for walks. I grew up with Lhasa Apso pups (Cassie and Teddy) and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for about 5 years. I've taken care of a variety of breeds, ranging from a Chinese crested to a boxer-pitbull mix. I'm a very compassionate, gentle, and patient person. I love spending time with dogs and look forward to meeting yours! :) I work from home, so pet care fits into my schedule super easily. I can take dogs out for potty breaks and walks as needed. I live in an apartment, so my living situation better aligns with smaller dog breeds. But park proximity still allows for walks and outside time.
“Chloe was great! She was able to come by just two days prior to when I needed her to walk my dog for a meet and greet. I could tell that she had great experience with dogs and felt very confident having her give my dog a potty break when I was going to be out for the day. Her Communication while I was gone was great and I would definitely use her again!”
“Maria and Luis were so kind. Great communication, very accomodating to my last-second changes, and my dogs love their new friends. I would book with them again- highly recommend Maria and Luis!”
About: Hello there! I'm Jessica. I have a long, lifelong passion and love for taking care of dogs and cats. I pride myself on being able to work with all breeds, ages, and backgrounds of dogs, from disabled dogs or rescue dogs. Every dog has its own personality and quirks. I take time to understand their boundaries and needs, and tailor their walks and playtime to them. I understand that every dog is unique, so is their schedule, such as requirements, favorite activities and preferences. I'm happy to adjust accordingly. I will give frequent updates on our walk or drop in from how they are feeling and new pictures to share our time together. After our walk I will ensure they have fresh clean water and feel safe and comfortable. I have spent many years caring for different dogs with different temperaments. I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle various situations. I can understand a dog's body language to detect anxiety, stress, and even aggression. I carry a spare leash and use appropriate sturdy leash, collar and harness. I will keep updates with you and keep emergency contacts such as the dog's Vet if provided and I will always immediately contact you if an emergency arises.
“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”
About: I have taken care of my family and neighbors’ pets whenever they needed someone to watch their animals. I have worked with senior animals, puppies, kittens, and animals who need extra care/special needs. I am still searching for a job, I have a lot of free time so I can take care of pets at any time of the week. I make sure to follow any specific instructions left for the animal’s care. Walks, play time, and clean up are down regularly between getting other tasks done. Animals are usually fed twice or three times a day unless there are specific instructions otherwise. Basically I will follow whatever instructions are needed.
About: Animals will always have a special place in my heart. They've been there for me my whole life and i appreciate the connection we share we share with our fur babies. I have life long experience with owning and caring for cats! Dogs i also love to death but i dont have as much hands on experience, so day-to-day tasks like walking or drop-ins would be a better fit! I work nights most of the week so early morning to mid afternoon, and late night (like after 10:00pm) im happy to make myself available I currently have a full time job with opposite hours - i manage a restaurant so evenings tend to be busy - but in my free day time id be happy to make friends with the cities fur babies! I have 2 full days off on sunday/mondays, Tuesday afternoons/evening are available, and before 1pm the rest of the week! I've been a cat owner all my life but i am a dog lover at heart as well! Considering I have less experience with dogs (and my current cat is the queen of the house) id be unable to provide an appropriate space to keep them here, or extended medical care. Otherwise id be more than happy to do stop-ins to feed, walk or spend some time with them! Over-nights at other places are great too, am always available to chat about specifics :)
“Tatum walked our dog for three consecutive mornings and did a wonderful job! Happy dog and happy owner! I highly recommend Tatum.”
“Chris filled in while my usual walker was on vacation & she did awesome! Sent me a cute picture of my pup & everything. Definitely will be the person I go to next time my usual walkers on vacation again!”
“Hannah walked my boy every day for 9 days when I was out of town. They walked for an hour every day and it was great! He really enjoys his long walks and Hannah made sure he had a great time. She is reliable and sent me great notes and pics every day.”

Ayanna R.
“Ayanna’s services were exceptional. She provided 24 hour in house care for our 55lb Golden doodle, Geachie, for 9 days in June and 9 days in July. Her duties included giving medication each morning, walking and playing with him, feeding twice a day and companionship. She did a spectacular job attending to Geachie’s needs with regards to scheduled and unscheduled bathroom breaks. Our house was kept clean and secure and Geachie loved spending time with her. I would definitely hire her again.”

Belle And Mayo Islands dog parents share their Rover experiences
We've used Rover a few times previously and Bridgette was the best yet! She was so quick to respond and very flexible with our schedule (even being last minute). Our pup can be a bit vocal and hard to warm up to strangers but he loved Bridgette from the get go and she kept up with his active lifestyle! 11/10 will be reaching out again
I couldn't be happier with the care my pets babies receive from our wonderful sitter. She is incredibly reliable, always showing up when expected and following through on every request with attention and dedication. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and compassion she shows for my pets—they adore her, and I can see they feel safe and happy in her care. She consistently goes above and beyond, doing everything I ask with great care and responsibility. She's also flexible, which has been a lifesaver more than once when my schedule changed unexpectedly. Most importantly, I trust her completely—both with my beloved pets and in my home. I’m truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring, and I look forward to a long relationship with her. Highly recommend!
I am very happy with her. She did a wonderful job walking my Joey. She is available whenever I need her. My pup came back so happy and tired. She is a very sweet person and I am glad to have her.
Kristen was a life saver! I pulled a back muscle this morning and could hardly walk. Kristen was able to fit me in and make sure my pup got a good walk.
Dani did an excellent job with my doggies! She really cares and really listens to what you ask for. She’s been very gentle and considerate of them (and of me). I hope to work with her anytime we need someone to help out! Thank you.
Max is my dog’s favorite! I started a new job that requires a much longer commute, so he’s been walking Junie every week day for a couple of weeks now. He is very responsive, arrives on time, sends pictures, and is very patient with my neurotic dog. She loves Max! I highly recommend him!
Lilly is a dream - very reliable, comes to walk in any condition, and my reactive dog LOVES her. Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a walker or sitter for bug and small dogs!!
Katherine is wonderful! Clearly a dog lover - she takes extra care and time to get to know your pup and make them feel comfortable around her. We use her for daily walks and are so glad we found her.
Kara was a reliable and caring sitter. She walked tater for an hour every day for an entire week. I would highly recommend her she did a great job
Chloe is an excellent dog walker. She is extremely reliable and steps up when she was confronted with a difficult situation. The key to my apartment was not working so she went to the management office and worked with them to get new batteries installed in the door lock. I would highly recommend her.
Punctual, reliable, and dependable. Abigail is warm and friendly while being exceptionally professionally competent and immediately put me at ease. Abigail consistently provided updates, is an excellent communicator, and established a genuine rapport with my dogs. Appreciate her time and will definitely book her again!
Anna is amazing! Great communication and obviously a natural talent with dogs. My two kiddos enjoyed her care and I would recommend her to anyone!
Thank you for being responsive, professional, and taking great care of my buddy. Excellent dog walker!
Ashley is very sweet and communicative, she follows directions. she also took great care of my baby and look forward to another walk soon! Thank you so much for taking care of him!
Janie is not just a sitter but a life saver as well! Thank you for humility talent and kindness! See ya soon!
Sun is a great dog mom. I’ve used her several times to watch and walk my dog Nymeria. And she has done an excellent and great job. If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your dog just as much as you would or even more, Sun is the right person because not only does she care she treats every dog like they’re her own.
