About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.

“Thanks to Megan for the 2 awesome walks Baali had today.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: Love all animas and they know it. I am able to make a quick bond with any animal. I love them all. I have watched dogs cats and fish. Can do it in your home or take a dog tor other small animal to my home. We have quinea pigs we had bearded dragon and hamster and turtle in past so we have all kinds of experience!! I am home for summer with my kids so will be able to attend to your pets needs. I can adjust my schedule based on what is needed for your pets!! I am able to take a friendly pet home with us or go to your house. I used one it both ways. We have friendly German shepherds and if needed we can keep your dog in our house

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from a young age. I have experience with pitbulls, chihuahuas, sharpei's, st. bernard's, weiner dogs, cane corso's, bulldogs, and golden retrievers. Growing up i had 4 dogs and fostered many more! I'm a 19 year old college student taking summer classes online and looking for some part time work. I do not have any other job and all my classes are online so i basically have availability whenever! Whatever routine you have set for your pet works perfectly fine for me! I was a nanny for a few years so i can keep a good eye on your pet if need be haha

“So grateful to have found Florian! ​Finding someone you trust with your pup isn't easy, but Florian proved to be a natural right away. He walked our pup daily at lunchtime this last week and was consistently punctual, professional, and super sweet. Our pup absolutely adored him from day one. I couldn't ask for a better walker and will gladly use his services again!”

About: I’m a genuine and dependable animal lover trustworthy and responsible. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines, and I’m especially patient with pets who need extra attention, including young, energetic, shy, or senior pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure their owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re in my care. I am available daily for pet sitting and boarding and dog walking! I love being around animals and will provide a beautiful experience that's safe and trustworthy! I have a fenced yard and live in a pet friendly subdivision with several trails that your pet may enjoy! I love animals and I am taking this as a full time job and following my passion for animal care.

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.

“Karen was such a charming lady and she took 10 seconds to get Howl to adore her. Kudos to Karen to travel from Triangle to Warrenton just because their location was not updated on the Rover app. Thanks Karen for caring for Howl.”

“Diane was great with my pup. He's very sweet but can also be a grumpy old man. Diane found the perfect medium to keep him happy so he wasn't pouty at us when we got home. Def recommend and will be using her again..”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11! I've taken care of various animals of all different sizes, breeds and ages, including, dogs, cats, small critters (guinea pigs, hamsters), and even horses! I understand it is important to get the best care possible for your family member and it takes a lot of trust! I am currently a graduate student at George Mason, so I have lots of weekend availability to play with your pet while you run errands or go on a quick weekend trip! Safety is of utmost importance to me and I will always ensure that your pet is as safe as possible. I have experience with crates for both cats and dogs if needed and will always be sure to check in about any safety concerns regarding your pet.

About: My daughters complain that their fur babies are spoiled when I return them. (And, they keep asking me to take care of them despite this. ) I prefer it over the Day job, And find the company of pets so rewarding. If I could make pet care a full time job, I would. I welcome them in like guests. But, of course follow instructions given pertaining to their care. I have a soft crate and raised dog beds with covers that can be washed each visit.

About: I'll be with them 24/7—providing care, companionship, and playtime. We'll enjoy outdoor activities, regular exercise, and a fun, loving environment, with a short 2-hour break for rest and recharge. Being at home all day gives me plenty of time to focus on my pet’s needs. I can give them attention, walk them, and ensure they have a comfortable environment. It also allows me to stick to a consistent feeding and grooming schedule. I’m able to adjust to their needs throughout the day, whether it's playtime, rest, or just being there for them. I have a dog-friendly house and previously had two dogs. There’s a spacious area in front of my house for playing and walking, and I also have a crate to keep them inside if necessary. Additionally, I have a deck at my house, which provides even more space for my pet to enjoy and relax.

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs, cats, and rabbits. I have extensive knowledge on rabbits and their proper care, as well as taking care of a rabbit of my own. I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule around my college classes. If you reach out within a reasonable time frame I will make you a priority. I have a large empty room for boarding, lots of outside space, and a car for proper travel. We live in the area near the battlefield that’s perfect for walks and outside exercise.

About: My family and I love taking care of animals whether they are dogs or any others. We have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember and they are my safe space.

I will also provide pictures very often. My mom, dad and I so excited to get to meet and take care of your pet! It will be a second home for them. I will be home most of the day so I can provide lots of company and take care of your pet while providing them full attention. They will always be my number one priority.

Someone is always present at home to watch after your pet and make sure they are always given full attention!

About: Hi! My name is Grant, I’m 21 years old, and I’m in my final year at Old Dominion University. I’ve had my own pups for 9 years, and I’ve been known in my neighborhood, as well as my family, for taking care of family and friends’ pets since I was old enough to work! I’m in love with dogs, cats, and animals in general. I’m always available, as pet/house sitting is my primary job. I would love to be your pup’s next caretaker! I offer flexible availability to accommodate your schedule and your dog’s needs. Whether you need help during the workday, in the evenings, on weekends, or for overnight stays, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best. I understand that plans can change, and I strive to be as accommodating and dependable as possible. My goal is to make your life easier while ensuring your dog receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship whenever you need an extra hand! I recently graduated from Old Dominion University with a bachelor’s degree in Communications, and my background in hospitality has taught me the importance of being responsible, dependable, attentive, and communicating clearly with others. I bring those same qualities to caring for pets. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a more relaxed environment, I’m happy to adjust my approach to make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve.
