“Jessica‘s walked my dog several times now. She always shows up exactly what time she says she will be there and does a great job with my dog. I’ll be using her more in the future.”
“Grace was so helpful and quick to respond to a last minute request! She took great care of Cookie and brought in some packages that were left on our porch without being asked! We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Felicia melted the hearts of my two dogs right when she knelt down to pet them. I have one dog who is very nervous and shy and she gave him the extra attention he needed. They’re definitely looking for her to come back!”
“Avery is so wonderful! She helped us out with walks for our new puppy and was incredibly attentive to our training process. Our dogs loved her and she always provided so many cute pictures and thorough updates. We’ll be using her for all of our pet care needs moving forward. I’m so happy we found her!!”
“Amy was great with my baby! She was so kind, gentle, and I know Kai gets a good walk in when he is tired when I get home. Always a plus after a long day at work am I right?! She is punctual and has great communication! I would def recommend her!”
“Brittany T. was very respectful, responsible, and confident. My Bouvier Des Flandres, TeddyBear is a very powerful, willful dog. She was not worried! I received timely updates, 4 photos and the map of the 1 mile walk they enjoyed in downtown Charlottesville. Brittany T. responded to my request for her services immediately and was a terrific communicator. I highly recommend Brittany T.”
“Jora was great! Both of our fur babies loved her immediately. She helped us on pretty short notice which was awesome, too! Jora kept us up to date with pictures & a sweet message during both her visits.”
About: With over 10 years of experience with dogs, I became the go-to person for friends and family — and soon their friends started calling me, too. I’ve also fostered for a local nonprofit animal rescue, though my schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dog right now. I’ve cared for every kind of pup, from teacup Yorkies to sheepadoodles, and all ages from 3 months to 16 years. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, baths — and if they need extra patience, daily meds, or a little more cuddle time, I’m here for it. My goal is for your pet to feel just as happy and secure with me as they do with you. My schedule varies since I’m in physician assistant school, but I can always make time! On weekdays, I’m available for walks/ drop-ins in the early mornings, afternoons, or evenings depending on the day. I’m also available most weekends. While I’m not able to board dogs in my home, I’m happy to stay at yours so your pet can stick to their routine and feel comfortable in their own space. I’m super flexible!! I’ll care for your pets exactly the way you do. I follow instructions closely, so everything feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years-old, and my parents told me our family dog was my responsibility. I have had six dogs of my own over the years, including one foster dog that I had for several years. I have dog sat for many of my friends and neighbors over the years, as everyone knows how much I love dogs! I currently work from home in New Orleans and spend all day with my loveable Golden Retriever, Louie! He gets along very well with other dogs and is happy to host them in his house and backyard. We would love to care for your best canine friend as well! I currently work fulltime from home so I am able to be home nearly all of the day with your dog(s). I will be at home on the computer or on the phone so your dogs will be with me almost all times of the day. I know what it's like to leave your dog babies with other people when you travel so I try to give them as much attention as I can. I'll also keep you well updated while you're gone as well.
“Would definitely recommend Maggie! She is a great communicator and you can tell she really cares. She went to walk my pup and unfortunately he was sick, so she went above and beyond to take care.”
“Bridgitte is wonderful with our dog Leo! She sends pictures and updates, takes him for a walk, and gives him lots of love. We come home to a happy dog! Thanks Bridgitte! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Katharine S.
“Beginning with her first dog at age 6, Katie has been an avid dog lover. She was known as the girl who walked her dog everyday in our neighborhood. She helped train all her family dogs including the beagle they have now. All of these dogs were rescues so required more patience, understanding, and love than others. Katie fostered a senior dog while in college. She helped him adapt to being with people so that he was able to be adopted when he likely would not have found a home. She is an organized person who will attend to all details needed to care for your dogs. She will also play and have fun with them!”

Colonial Place dog parents share their Rover experiences
Max is my dog’s favorite! I started a new job that requires a much longer commute, so he’s been walking Junie every week day for a couple of weeks now. He is very responsive, arrives on time, sends pictures, and is very patient with my neurotic dog. She loves Max! I highly recommend him!
I can’t say enough good things about Sydney! While I was out of town, she took incredible care of my dog, sending me regular updates and the sweetest pictures. My dog always looked so happy and relaxed in every photo, which made me feel completely at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares, not just about the job, but about the animals she looks after. Knowing my dog was in such loving hands gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for their pet!
Nicholas was able to accommodate a last minute request for a late evening dog walk, even finding the time to come and do a meet and greet prior to the booking. He was responsive and reassured us that Albus would be in great hands. I enjoyed reading Albus’ report card too! I would definitely recommend Nicholas for your dog walking needs, and I’m hoping to use his services again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my boy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing! I can’t say enough good things about Alexandria! They have been a total lifesaver for me and a true best friend to my dog. Always punctual, professional, and kind, they treat my pup like their own. I get updates and pictures from every walk, and it’s obvious how much they care. My dog gets so excited every time they show up—it’s clear they’ve built a special bond. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, this is the one. Highly recommend!
Sun is a great dog mom. I’ve used her several times to watch and walk my dog Nymeria. And she has done an excellent and great job. If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your dog just as much as you would or even more, Sun is the right person because not only does she care she treats every dog like they’re her own.
