About: Hi! I’m Katie, I’m 20 and a huge animal lover! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and can’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs of my own, a playful young Labrador I’ve trained myself, and a sweet 13-year-old Westie, so I understand the needs of both energetic pups and senior dogs. Over the past several years, I’ve cared for many neighbors’ pets, including dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, medication, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, their comfort and happiness are always my top priorities! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because animals are already a huge part of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, and making time throughout the day for attention, play, and exercise. I’m very organized and flexible, so I can adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I always follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space and give them plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own, and I understand how important it is to build trust, both with your pet and with you. Safety is always my top priority, and I do everything I can to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.

“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”

“Ashley was an absolute angel watching my Romeo!! She was extremely thorough and followed my instructions to a T (there were many! Lol) she was inquisitive and took pride in being helpful and making sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was always early or on time and always gave my baby lots of love! I would and WILL be asking her to dog sit again! Thank you so much Ashley!! ⭐️”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and watch their dogs while they're away. I'm dependable, active, patient, and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets lots of attention and care throughout the day I have a friendly dog to help keep your pet comfortable and active. I always make safety my top priority and can easily follow feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, and any special care your pet may need.

About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

About: I love animals like my own children! I have experience with young animals as well as senior animals (mine is now 14 and requires verrrry slow walks) I have my own pet so I take time out of my day to care care of my own. I know it’s super important to walk and give pets the proper attention. I have a 14yo super friendly old woman doggie. I do not have a fenced in yard but we take long walks to get outside.

“Sydney is so good with our Enzo! She’s attentive to how he’s feeling on the walk (which is key with the heat and his puppy age), what training we’re working on (she reinforces what we’re focusing on), and making sure he has a great time. She’s our go to!”

“Jes provides exceptional services and is extremely thoughtful and considerate when working with my dog. I sincerely appreciate his professionalism and caring attitude! Dogs are the best character judges and mine approves! Thank you!”

About: I'm passionate about providing loving, reliable care for your furry family members. With extensive pet experience, I understand that every animal has unique needs and can accommodate to their nature. I am currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is very open and flexible and I am looking to be more active in pockets of my free time. I look forward to cater to your needs. Personally in my home, my dog has the house to himself. But I value whichever approach you follow for your comfort and pet's safety and will comply with instruction.

About: Hi I’m Anna! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with pets and understands how important it is to provide them with safe, loving care. I currently have an 8 year old Vizsla named Marshall. I have experience walking dogs and dog sitting dogs of all sizes, including a white Labrador named Cash and a Yorkipoo named Pixie. I also just recently helped host a service dog event at my school! Since I am a runner, I’m always staying active so I’m committed to making sure every dog gets the exercise and affection they deserve! I currently work part time as a lifeguard so my availability is built around that. On the days I do work I am available anytime from 6am to 10am, and 8:30pm to 10:00pm. When I’m not working, I am available all day. I provide dog walking in the clients area so they are in a safe, familiar environment. I also follow all owners instructions carefully, including leash preferences, feeding notes, or any special treats they are able to have after a long walk!

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.

About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, etc. I am comfortable working with most animals and will treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I currently have my own 7yo Boston Terrier/ French Bulldog named Milo! I recently started my doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am looking for ways to make some money in my free time. I am currently free Tuesday afternoons after 2pm and have full time availability on Thursdays and Fridays. I am also open to weekends on a case by case basis. I formerly worked as a probation officer so I am extremely trustworthy, hardworking, and dependable! I am comfortable and respectful working in others’ homes, and will follow all care instructions to meet a pet’s specific needs. Additionally, I am comfortable feeding or administering medications if needed. I will always prioritize your pet’s health and safety, and will likely avoid interactions with other pets unless an owner indicates that their dog is friendly with other animals.

About: Hi, my name is Samantha! I have been caring for dogs for most of my life and bring a genuine passion for animal well-being to every booking. Growing up, my family had a Collie, and from an early age I took on full responsibility for her day-to-day care — managing her feeding schedule, ensuring she received the specific amount of exercise her breed required, and keeping her happy and comfortable at home. As she aged, her care became more complex, and I became the primary person responsible for administering her medication. This experience gave me hands-on confidence with the often-tricky task of getting a dog to take a pill — a skill many pet owners truly appreciate. More recently, I have cared for my neighbors' dogs on multiple occasions over the past several years, building a trusted, ongoing relationship with both the pets and their owners. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to honor those routines so your pup feels safe and at ease while you're away. Whether your dog needs gentle companionship, an energetic walk, or attentive care around a medical routine, I am fully prepared to provide it with patience, reliability, and plenty of love. I am currently a college student on summer break, which means dog walking fits seamlessly and generously into my routine right now. With no classes or academic commitments pulling at my schedule, I have wide-open availability throughout the week — mornings, afternoons, and weekends included. If you need a consistent daily walker this summer, I am in an ideal position to provide exactly that. Having this kind of open schedule means I will never be rushing to fit your dog's walk in between other obligations. I can be fully present, unhurried, and attentive every single time — which makes a real difference in the quality of care your dog receives. Beyond availability, walking dogs is genuinely one of my favorite ways to spend time this summer. Getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals is something I look forward to every day — your dog will not just be a booking on my calendar, they will be the best part of my afternoon. Before every walk, I will arrive a few minutes early to greet your dog calmly and allow them to get comfortable with me before we head out. I will always check in with owners beforehand to understand their dog's specific routine — preferred walking routes, pace, any leash behaviors to be aware of, and whether there are other dogs or triggers to watch out for along the way. During the walk, your dog's safety will be my top priority. I will keep them securely leashed at all times unless the owner has explicitly designated an off-leash area, and I will stay fully attentive — no distractions. I will match the walk's length and energy level to what the dog needs, whether that's a brisk, stimulating outing or a more relaxed stroll. After the walk, I will ensure your dog is settled back home comfortably — wiping muddy paws, refreshing their water bowl, and making sure they are calm and secure before I leave. I will send a post-walk update with a photo so you will always know how the outing went, giving you peace of mind wherever you are.

About: I’ve been doing pet/house sitting and dog walking since I was young for family and friends. I’ve always been very passionate about animals and I’ve worked with all ages from puppies to kittens to puppers on their last leg. I’m very patient and understanding with senior dogs and I have a bit of experience in training from taking my own dog to classes! I have a part time job, usually only working afternoons a few times a week. Looking for another job that I’ll love and that’s why I’m starting Rover!! I’ve got plenty of time on my hands and with your pets is how i’d love to spend it!! If needed I have a friendly pup and dog friendly cat at home if needed but I’m willing to stay in your home or just check in as needed, sending photos and updates to ensure your pets safety and security! Making sure they’re walked, fed and most importantly loved!!!

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I care for my pets on a daily basis so I am always improving my skills and knowledge about the best care practices. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.
