“We love Samuel. He has been great jumping in with Ruthie who is a newly adopted rescue (and still nuts on a leash). He is always on time, and sends pictures. I feel so lucky that we found someone who is so close to us, and great to work with.”
“Minerva did a great job walking our grumpy old man dog. He gave very thorough feedback and reports on what he was doing and how they were getting along and I couldn't be happier”
About: I reply FAST! 🐶 As a child, we owned frogs, parakeets, a tarantula, and eventually a corgi (who I trained to do many unique tricks!) I also rode horses for years, so safe to say I’ve experienced a spectrum. I often cared for neighbors’ pets when out of town, have consistently watched my caregiving client’s dogs for weeks while they’re on vacations, and took care of four dogs under one roof as a nanny for a year (yep, alone, and one was a puppy!) I have a soft spot for cats, but I love animals! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and many of my jobs are WFH. I have lots of random bits of time midday and often have giant gaps of availability! Also very open to sitting, please be upfront about if constant care is expected because my CC rates are different since I have to be able to afford to not work my other jobs, otherwise I lose a lot of money sitting (: You can also book my drop-ins instead if that works better! I would love to assist any of your needs for your pets with utmost kindness and safety. I am very respectful and follow directions very well! I want to satisfy my clients and their beloved companions. I just love being around animals!
“Stephanie is great! She's very calm and collected and you can tell right away she has a lot of valuable experience with dogs. After their first walk, I can already tell my dog Louie is in love with her!!”
“Kymberly was able to walk our dog Reign on short notice and was easy to coordinate with! Big thanks to her and would recommend for anyone seeking some doggie care!”
About: Hi! My name's Mandi and I've been surrounded by pets all my life. My mom's worked as a CSR at a vet hospital since I was little. I followed in her foot steps and worked at Green Lake Animal Hospital for over a year when I moved back to Seattle. I learned so much about animal health and care in time there. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, parakeets, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I love all animals. (And it's always so fun seeing the names everyone comes up with.) I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new. I have two cats of my own, Franklin and Rosie, who can be pretty particular. Rosie has...plenty of tortitude. So I have a real soft spot for moody cats. I'm completely understanding of any specific requests you have for care. Does your cat have a specific blanket they like? Does your dog like one particular route? Let me know! I'm so excited to meet your pets and whatever I can do to make visits as helpful and stress-free as possible, I'm happy to accommodate! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I'm happy to work around your schedule and find a visit time that works best for you. I go out of my way to go above and beyond for visits. I'll follow your instructions exactly and make sure all pet dishes are cleaned, litter is swept, and dog bags are thrown away.
“Caitlin has helped us out with walking our dog Moose many times! She is reliable, takes great care of our pup, and always send a little message and pics, which we really appreciate. Thank you Caitlin for all your help!”
“Stacey is super communicative and kind, and great with our extra-sniffy Lab. We just moved to the area and are so happy to have someone great in the area we can rely on!”
“Kali came over in advance to meet our shy pup and has the best calm energy. She came to walk him and he wasn’t having it so they played in the backyard and he warmed up and had a great time. She sent photos and a review right away! Hope Frank will see her again!”
“Nora did a wonderful job walking my pup while I was out of town. My dog was immediately comfortable with her. Nora made sure my pup was well taken care of and left a little summary and pictures after each walk. I would book Nora again and would recommend her for your pet needs.”
“Our enormous, rambunctious pup loves Jenifer and their long morning walks. Jenifer is very understanding of puppies and that means a lot to us. Thank you Jenifer!”
“Kim has been amazing for our little Dachshund—she takes the extra step to make sure he does his business, even though he can be stubborn :) She is reliable and attentive. It has been such a comfort to know he is taken care of when we can’t be there to walk him. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I looooooove all dogs but big dogs will always have my heart! i’ve owned multiple large breeds and a few chihuahuas and terriers and I will always make sure they are well taken care of. Currently working part time so i’m available most of the time to say hi to your babies just talk to me and I can always do my best to help I don’t have a yard currently but hopefully soon, for now I would love to walk your dog or cat or make sure they aren’t lonely
Blue Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
We cannot recommend Grace highly enough. From the very beginning, she exceeded our expectations in the care she provided for our dog, Maggie. In addition to offering exceptional care, Grace was instrumental in helping us address Maggie’s training needs and anxiety. She took the time to understand Maggie’s unique personality, provided thoughtful guidance, and shared practical strategies that helped Maggie become more comfortable and confident when left home alone. The progress we saw was truly remarkable. What impressed us most was the genuine bond Grace developed with Maggie. Every time Maggie saw her, she would light up with excitement—wagging her tail, wiggling with happiness, and eagerly anticipating their time together. As pet owners, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your dog feels safe, happy, and loved in someone else’s care. Grace’s dedication goes far beyond day-to-day pet sitting. She is deeply invested in the well-being of the dogs she works with and consistently demonstrates professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Thanks to her influence, Maggie is happier, more confident, and better behaved. We are incredibly grateful for everything Grace has done and would wholeheartedly trust her with Maggie again.
Lauren helped us with a couple last minute dog walks and took great care of our puppy! She gave her extra cuddles and a great walk that left her happily exhausted from the good exercise and sniffs. We appreciated her thoughtful and clear communication and updates. We will definitely work with her again.
