“Maura is amazing with my dog! She is super reliable, friendly, kind, and excellent with communication. My dog gets so excited when she arrives, and I always know he’s getting a great walk, plenty of exercise, and all the pets :) Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”
“Thanks for walking Riley and Archie, Davis! They had a great time and I was so glad I could find someone to help out with them on short notice. We will definitely reach out again 😊”
“Nicole is a super star! She’s been our go-to dog walker for our little Luna for quite a few months now. She is always punctual, kind, and courteous. Luna has stayed with her a couple of times overnight, once being an emergency situation where I had to leave and Nicole was so kind, responded quickly and was more than happy to take Luna on such short notice, she was truly an angel!! She is so respectful of our home and I feel no qualms about her entering and leaving while I’m at work. She gives highly detailed updates and lets me know immediately if she thinks something is wrong with Luna. Luna absolutely loves her Mama Nicole, and I honestly can’t sing her praise enough!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I had my childhood dog for 14 years, and have since then gotten another dog. I have experience training puppies and taking care of older dogs and their needs. Flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to take care of your pups. I am available for walking dogs and for drop-in visits Monday- Sunday from 8am-9pm. When walking dogs I avoid any heavily trafficked areas and am able to take dogs to different locations to walk/hike if needed (beach, dog park, etc.) I have my own dog who loves interacting with others that I can bring to walk with your dog if they want company.
“Trent is absolutely wonderful. He made going away for a weekend without our two large dogs stress free. Trent gave us detailed messages about how each of their walks went, followed all of our guidelines and it was easy to tell our dogs trusted him and enjoyed his company. He handled our reactive 80lbs dog with grace and ease. We would recommend him to anybody! One of the most reliable and easy experiences we’ve had with someone else caring for our pups. 10/10 would recommend!”
“She always arrives on time, follows all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, makes our dog Coco so happy. We trust her completely with Coco’s walks, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommended!”
“Janet is amazing! My dog loves her and gets so excited when he sees her coming. She is very punctual, flexible, and kind to both myself and my dog. She has a smile and great attitude and she’s been a blessing to have around. Would hire her again and again!!’”
“Samantha is absolutely amazing! She has been endlessly patient with our anxious, stubborn puppy! Samantha just showers her with love and our puppy is ecstatic to be with her. Samantha is incredibly reliable and an excellent communicator. We are so grateful for Samantha!”
“David has done an excellent job with Zelda this week. She looks forward to his arrival and is excited to go for a walk with him. We appreciate his care with Zelda and his flexibility with his time.”
About: Every dog deserves to be treated like the family member they are, and that is exactly how I will treat yours! While I am new to rover, I have grown up around dogs my whole life and have a genuine passion for their happiness and wellbeing. When you book with me, you can count on a few things: - I will always show up on time -I will follow your routine to the letter - Your dog will receive plenty of love and attention! I understand that it takes a lot of trust to hand over your fur baby to someone new, and I do not take that lightly. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or needs a little extra patience, I am here for it. Let’s give your dog a walk they’ll wag their tail about! I am currently a returning full time student and part- time substitute teacher. Due to those two responsibilities I typically have much more availability in the summer on weekdays and some weekends. Building a genuine relationship of trust with both the dog and their owner is truly at the heart of my approach. I believe that when an owner feels confident and at ease, their dog does too. That’s why I always take the time to learn each dog’s personality, habits, and needs before we hit the sidewalk. I am committed to open, honest communication with owners every step of the way, whether it is a quick update message or a photo mid-walk so you know that your puppy is happy and safe. Your peace of mind matters just as much to me.
“Monique was great! She was very accommodating and fit us in on New Years Eve. My pup was very comfortable with her and SO happy to be getting some exercise! Very grateful to Monique for her time and for Julep's walk!”
“Alejandra was incredibly responsive and really helped us out in a pinch, doing more than was originally asked of her. Grateful to have found her and will continue to use her services!”
“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
About: My husband and I have taken care of our friend’s teddy, Pomeranian, Rottweiler and Labrador retriever, Friends have relied on us to walk, feed, and board their pets when they are at school, at work, on vacation or when they had to deal with emergency situations. I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule where I work from home on Mondays and also I have Fridays off as well meaning I am able to pet sit from Friday to Monday night! We have a fenced back yard, and a very large grassed park area behind our townhome. My husband and I loveeee going for walks, would be thrilled to take your furry out to explore some new smells near our home. Happy to provide updates with photos through out the day.
About: I have nearly 2 years of experience as a kennel assistant at a Hayfield Animal Hospital caring for dogs, cats, and exotics of all sizes and personalities. I also was a part of the Edison Academy veterinary science class where we provided grooming services to clients. I’ve taken care of my own dog for 8 years and have pet sat for family and friends. I’m reliable, patient, and focused on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also helped train my dog as a puppy and have experience administering medications to pets at my work and will be getting experience as a veterinary assistant this summer. I currently work part-time as a kennel assistant, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to make time to stop by and care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owner is away. As a pre-vet student at Virginia Tech, my passion for animals runs deep. Just as I do with my own dog, in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets have a clean, stress-free environment and would love to keep owners updated with messages and photos!

Bristow dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first experience using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier. Cassie was amazing, and I sincerely hope she is always available to walk/board my Labrador when I need her. From our first meeting I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She is trustworthy, reliable, provides timely communication and was a joy to work with. Rover is very lucky to have her on their team.
I booked Julia for reoccurring walks with my dog, a senior husky. She was very patient with my pup and made sure she was well taken care. Julia listened to all my notes and concerns with my dog and made me feel comfortable with entrusting her to take care of her. I definitely recommend Julia to look after your dog too!
Sophie is responsive to requests and communicated very well. She was accommodating for a kind of last minute request and also let me know how things went afterward. I was happy she was available to give my pup a midday trip outside and some nice attention too. She listened to everything I shared about Elli and her habits & was very comfortable. Thanks, Sophie!
Frank is incredibly warm, patient, and friendly! He is reliable and very punctual, and it's a joy to work with him. From the moment he met our dog I could tell that he is a caring young man who really loves animals. Our dog looks forward to her walks with him every day. He meticulously sends updates and photos from each walk. We are so happy to have found him and highly recommend his services to anyone considering him!
Sam was amazing! Weather conditions were tough annd we have 14 year old dog. Sam was super communicative and paid attention to what our doggo needed extra snuggles, some play time, and walks at his pace. Thank you so much Sam for taking the best care of our doggo! So grateful to have found you!
Monique was our saving grace once again! She is so accommodating and willing to help, even on short notice-- we are incredibly grateful for her! She also does very well with high energy dogs and strong dogs. We have only met Monique once before, and it was a weeks ago at a different location. Julep immediately recognized her before she even made it to the door, and my typically anxious pup was SO excited to see her. She clearly creates a bond with the dogs she meets. That's equally important and impressive. Julep is a rescue and, sadly, like so many sweet dogs, she had a hard life before she was rescued. Because of that, she very rarely warms up to new people quickly. We LOVED how happy Julep was to see Monique again! As soon as I handed Monique the leash, she took off like lightning for her walk without the slightest hesitation like they were old friends. I highly recommend Monique!
