Dog Walking in Burke

About: Hi everyone! I'm Charlotte and I'm a college student majoring in Wildlife Conservation. I've always loved all kinds of animals, and I have two cats at home! I have sitting experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, fish, and geckos. I’m a very active person and would love to play with dogs or take them on long walks. I also really enjoy a nice long cuddle session! I have so much love for animals and I love taking care of them. Please reach out if you think I'm a good fit for your pet! I will be able to fit pet care in very well. My other job is babysitting for two kids, and that has very flexible timing and I can always take them with me if needed. I can drive so I will be able to stop by houses easily! I can take dogs into my backyard where they can run around, but they won't be able to go in my house because I have my own pets. Likewise, I cannot bring cats into my own home because my cats do not get along with others. But I am more than willing to visit my client's home and stay overnight if necessary!

“Jing is our new weekly dog walker and she has been wonderful!! Very mature, professional, and so sweet to our fur-babies! She goes above and beyond. Highly recommended!!!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, gaining experience in cat, dog, and even fish pet care. Currently, I have worked as a Kennel Assistant at Hayfield Animal Hospital for the past year. Through my job as a Kennel Assistant, I clean dog/cat cages, provide new food/water, and take dog boarders on walks. Due to my experience in this job, I have the skills to handle animals with different behavioral issues/needs comfortably. Furthermore, I have been a volunteer through the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation for the past three years. As a volunteer, I clean cat cages, provide new food, water, and socialization, along with holding meet and greets with potential adopters at the 7 Corners PetSmart. I have also taken a two-year Veterinary Sciences course at my high school where I gained hands-on experience with different animal handling techniques and was educated on disease and behavior signs and symptoms. Overall, my experiences in animal pet care and handling have given me the ability to be comfortable and safe when handling different animals. I'm currently working part-time for the Summer, so I will be available a good amount of the time to help take care of your pets! I am normally available most mornings and nights. I expect to be unavailable some mornings from 6am-12pm and some evenings from 3pm-7pm. However, this varies depending on my schedule for the week. Having pets of my own for the past 18 years, I know first-hand how important your pets are. Not only will I provide them with a safe environment, but I will treat them as my own, making sure that they remain happy and enjoy their time with my while you are away! When in my client's home, I will be neat and tidy, cleaning up after myself and your pet(s) if needed. Personally, I understand how hard it is to be away from your fur baby, so I will send video or picture updates as requested!

“Maren is amazing! Zoey is so happy with her. Maren is very easy to communicate with, very reliable and extremely friendly. I love the pictures!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs. I’ve learned how to care for my one year old dog since he was only a couple weeks old. I now understand the patience and energy young dogs require by. I also currently care for my 15-year-old senior dog, which has taught me how to provide gentle, attentive care for aging pets. In addition to dogs, I also care for two birds, giving me experience with daily feeding, cleaning, and handling routines for feathered friends. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a senior pet who needs extra comfort, or birds who thrive on consistency, I bring care, responsibility, and genuine love for animals into everything I do. Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. I currently work a part-time job 2–3 days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to provide consistent, quality care for pets throughout the week. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight sitting, I’m able to plan around my schedule to prioritize each pet’s needs. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I always make time to ensure they’re happy, safe, and well looked after. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether they’re in my home or in their own. I’m always attentive to each pet’s needs, routines, and behavior, and I make sure they’re comfortable and secure at all times. When pets stay at my home, they have access to a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door for safe, supervised outdoor time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and clean — a place where animals can feel relaxed and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I give my own, always maintaining their pet’s routine to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

“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.”

“Ariana was awesome! She took great care of our sometimes disfunctional dog. When we had a sudden change of plans, Ariana responded immediately. She is a lifesaver!”

“Always love when April can care for Bailey. Even more, Bailey loves seeing her, Zoey, and Cole.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. Growing up my family had a Dachshund — my first lesson in just how much personality a small dog can pack — and later a German Shepherd, who taught me that larger dogs need confidence, consistency, and genuine respect. I also spent years walking a neighbor's Irish Setter, which gave me an early appreciation for athletic, high-energy breeds that need real exercise and engagement, not just a quick lap around the block. Most recently I had a rescue dog I adopted when he was older and already managing some minor health issues. He later developed a heart condition that required daily medication — which I administered myself throughout his illness. Caring for him through that journey gave me hands-on experience with senior dog care, medical management, and the kind of patience and attentiveness that serious health conditions demand. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs for neighbors and friends — from drop-in visits to boarding them in my own home. My regulars have included a Westie who, despite the breed's famously stubborn reputation, spends most of his time demanding belly rubs and reminding me that Westies are really just cuddly dogs in a tough-dog costume. I have also cared for a Pit/Boxer mix who turned out to be one of the most docile, cuddly dogs I have ever had the pleasure of caring for — a reminder that reputation and reality are often two very different things. I judge dogs on who they are, not what breed they are. I also manage a regular medication routine for the Westie in my care. If your dog has a medication schedule, it will not be skipped, forgotten, or treated as an inconvenience. I am fully dedicated to pet care right now — home throughout the day, taking a limited number of dogs at a time so every guest gets real attention. Whether your dog needs a calm quiet environment, daily medication, or just someone who will truly enjoy their company all day — I am that person. I am home all day every day and fully available for pet care morning through evening. No day job, no busy schedule pulling me away. I follow each dog's individual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. Pet care is my full-time focus and I treat it that way. My home is calm, comfortable, and set up with your dog's happiness in mind. Every dog in my care gets out daily — just nearby is a beautiful park with a lake that makes for a perfect morning walk, along with plenty of neighborhood routes for dogs who love to explore and sniff every corner. Inside, dogs have comfortable resting areas and a relaxed, welcoming environment to settle right into. Your dog will never be cooped up or bored.

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs since I was 17! Since I was eight, I have had a dog in my family. Each dog is unique and different and I enjoy getting to know them. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing with them, and cuddling! My weekends are always free! I do work full-time but I have a flexible schedule since I can work from home. During the weekday, early mornings and evenings are typically free for all your pet care needs. I love house sitting versus boarding because I care about your pets experience! My dogs don’t like being boarded because it’s a strange and new place to them. So with that in mind, house sitting is my go to so that your dog feel safe and comfortable even with a stranger. I’ll make sure to always give them their space when needed but will also provide cuddles.

“Chris is super responsible and very attuned to the animals that he takes care of. He’s also a great communicator and very flexible when it comes to schedule adjustments and so on. Thank you, Chris.”

About: I am a highly organized and reliable pet sitter with a passion for all types of furry friends. I am adept at providing individualized care for each dog that stays with us and my whole family loves animals. I work my 9-5 in my large house (and fenced-in yard!) so I'm always home and I have two teenaged sons and a husband who also works at home. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I work full time from my home so I am always here at the house. My husband works from home so he's always here too! I have a large house and a fenced yard, as well as a 70lb dog who loves company. We treat our furry guests like family. They'll have a blast here!

“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with many years of pet caring experience. I provide reliable, gentle loving care tailored to each pet’s needs—walks, cuddles, playtime, and more I am very flexible as I am a college student home for the summer. I am more than willing to adjust my schedule to yours. I provide a safe, secure home with a fenced yard and a friendly medium-sized dog who loves company. Your pet will feel comfortable and welcome

About: What sets me apart from other sitters on Rover when wanting to choose me as your trusted sitter is that I am a hardworking, reliable, and welcoming soul. I have had a multitude of different animals since I was a child such as; dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals like hamsters or rabbits. I am always up for a new challenge and willing to always find a solution, as in high school I helped work for a privately owned dog/cat-sitting and walking service. Within the services I provided, I was able to learn how to properly train and work with any animal that may have a special little personality using both a cooperative work strategy with the animal and creating and building rooms for trust and safety. I truthfully am grateful for my 4 years of service as it has provided the confidence and stamina to work for Rover this summer. Having someone come into your home is a sacred and trustworthy process, and I want to make that experience as calm and nurturing as possible for all your furry members of your home. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon, and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I am currently on summer break from Longwood University as I have just finished my 2nd year and I am very flexible and free with my time as of lately! I am spending the majority of my time currently with my family spending quality time, taking care of my three year old sister, and of course, giving my 4 cats extra cuddles each day since being home. When at home, I always want to prioritize safety for anyone that is in my surroundings, creating room for exploration for my 4 cats through active playing with their toys and can create separate feeding schedules for them as well. If my animals were to ever feel unsafe or I have sensed that their safety needs are not being met, I am able to quickly assess a situation hands-on and create room for proactive structure that can provide both my animals and I the best possible cuddles and memories. As well, when taking care of my 3 year old sister, I always create an attentive headspace for myself, using skills of active listening and problem solving solutions that can help my sister better process both her cognitive emotions and physical needs that she may need to express. I always want to create rooms for awareness and structure, and I believe I could do this for your animals.

About: I own 2 golden doodles who are 9yo and grew up walking, pet sitting, and loving the other pets in my neighborhood. I work as an assistant veterinary technician at Kingsview Animal Hospital where I handle and learn to treat companion animals. Now, I am continuing my learning through my studies of animal science at UMass Amherst! I will be especially good with puppies as I’ve learned behaviors and the socialization period which is critical! I also handle all elderly dogs with care as my own require special assistance. I’m currently working part-time so I’m available all day when I’m off (Sun, Tue, Thurs, Fri) and I will usually be available after 3pm on Saturdays! I can fit your schedule if you need services early in the day or even late at night. I have learned to read dog/cat body language well to help me know how I should handle a pet and what boundaries to keep with the pet. I would respect any reactions from the pets and any rules set by the owners for the pets safety and my own. For drop-in visits, I am well trained in administering medication whether it’s oral or injectable.
