“Kimberly was great with communicating about the walk with my dog. She gave detailed explanations and took a few pictures. She was also able to accommodate a next day walk which is always great! I definitely recommend her!”

“Jordan is wonderful with my senior dog! She is highly detailed in her care and provides the most exciting daily midday walks/play. Her rover card summaries are very descriptive and so much fun to read. Choose Jordan if you want the best!”

“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”

“Good communication. We had coordinated a broader time window instead of the exact appointment time on Rover. She was only going to be a minute or two off the exact time due to circumstances outside her control, but still let me know.”

About: Moved to Lexington Park area from being stationed in Japan! With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteered with the Red Cross animal visitation program while Active Duty & St Mary Animal Humane Society. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home for safety & use cameras to check in on them.
“Thank you so much Katie for taking such great care of my 4-legged furry kids! They came home appropriately pooped out. 😊 It didn’t take them long to get attached to you. They’re looking forward to more walks in the future.”

“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”

“Jessica was very organized and extremely reliable. She went over everything (and more) that we needed to touch on at our meet and greet. As walks went on, she was very communicative, and worked with me to come up with creative ideas on how to manage my dog’s significant fears. He was an abused rescue, so he is shy and gets easily scared of noises and people. I will definitely be having her walk again!”

“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”

“Alexis is amazing, she took the time out of her day to meet Coco before the planned walks. After each walk she made sure Coco had water and food. If anyone ever needs a walker I highly recommend Alexis!!”

About: I currently have a boxer that we’ve had since a puppy. She is 12. I have dog sat for friends and walked there dogs as well. I work from home and am looking for creative ways to get some exercise during the day. Walking your dog is a great way to have some fun while getting some steps in and I love dogs. I work from home so I can easily break away for walks and pet visits (drop ins). I think a 20-30 minute walk with your dog will be a nice break for me and good exercise for your dog. I always walk my dog on a leash. If I’m at a park where it is acceptable I’ll take my dog off the leash for fetch.
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”

“Tia is so thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves our dogs. She sends the best messages and pics, and goes above and beyond the basics (like scooping poop from our own yard and bagging it). My only complaint is that I wish Rover would allow us to give more than a 30% tip!”

About: I have ample amount of experience with all types of animals. I am a teacher so I have the summer off and can spend a lot of time with your pet! There is a 4 year old chocolate lab who LOVES playing that lives with us so your pet must get along with other dogs. I are looking forward to spoiling your babies! I have the summer off so I have a lot of flexibility for drop-ins at you house or cuddles at home. This also allows for many walks! I have a fenced in yard at my own home. I can walk animals to give them time outdoors and we can play with them with. We also have a 4 year old lab who loves to play.
About: I've been learning about how to care for pets since I was 7 years old! It started with a tortoise and hamsters, and then finally a puppy! Then we've had a number of dogs throughout the years! Now my husband and I have 2 cats! The safety of the animals around me is even more important than my own! With puppies, I've assisted in training from walking with you to doing small tricks! As a stay at home mom that goes on daily walks, I have plenty of time to walk pups or check in with your cats! Though much of my day is spent attending to the kiddos, I ensure to get cuddles and playtime in with the cattos as well! I aim to treat your fur babies as if they were my own! Fresh air, playtime, and exercise is so beneficial for both humans and the fluffy companions! Of course with safety and comfort always in mind!
“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”

About: I've cherished and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 7. I've had a dog in my life since then (mostly large breeds) and I can't imagine my life without one. I've had cats in the past and I love their feisty and sometimes lazy personalities but my husband has an allergy so we can't have one. I've rehabilitated squirrels, chickens and have helped several dogs recover from surgeries (ACL, stitches, spay, neuter, etc) My husband and son often joke with me and call my pups my "dogtourage" because they follow me around anywhere I go. I think animals are amazing and couldn't imagine a life without them. They deserve all the best in the world. I recently made the decision to lower my stress and simplify my life. I now have the time and flexibility to do this more. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them and all their different personalities. Rover gives me a chance to do that and also earn a little to feed my pups while doing so. :) I have 3 acres double fenced to accommodate large and small dogs while keeping them safe. My pups are my family and I believe all fur babies (cats and dogs) should be treated that way. Mine are very active and chase each other around the property until they are tired, then nap and repeat. They love to meet and play with new friends. Your pets will be treated the same as I treat mine with lots of snuggles and kisses.
About: I’ve had a dog in my home ever since I was 5 years old and couldn’t imagine not having one around. They are more than just a pet, they’re family to me. In high school, I cared for two teachers dogs, 2 German shepherds and 1 boxer, and they would always brag about how much their dogs loved me. I treat others animals as if they were my own because that’s the love and care animals deserve. I’ve had small dogs in my home, but have cared for larger dogs so I have experience with all sizes and have the ability to handle them all. You can be assured that your dog will be left in great hands and will be treated as they should be.
