Marco has been absolutely wonderful with our dog. He's very kind, and his level of communication is so appreciated. He goes the extra mile every day in his care for our dog on their daily walks. Really really grateful we found him for our pup!

Naedra helped us out last minute. She was super easy to communicate with. She took great care of our puppy, taking him on two walks each day. She sent pictures and filled us in on everything. We really appreciated her helping us and will definitely use her again!

About: I have experience with many breeds, all shapes, and sizes! I have volunteered at a local rescue as well as owning my own personal dogs. I have owned 2 blind and deaf Great Danes and a reactive German Shepherd mix. My current babies are a Great Dane and a Cockalier. I have experience with pets needing some extra maintenance, whether that's nail trims, baths, medicine, or any specific diet. Im not squirmy so whatever your pet needs, I can handle! I adopted my 2 deaf and blind Great Danes at 2 and 4, and adopted my German Shepherd mix at about 16 weeks old. My Great dane now is just a little over 1, and my Cockalier is turning 8. Not only do I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, behaviors, I also have experience in each phase of their lives. I don't discriminate! I understand some pups may need some extra time, care, love, and patience, and that's okay! I have the time to give it and make you feel at ease. I am currently working part time 3-4 days a week. I work evenings so I can tend to your pets in the mornings and afternoons. I am usually available during the weekends any time after 4 on Saturdays, and available all day on Sundays. I have a fenced in yard to let my fur babies outside. I let them do their thing while also supervising them, just to make sure they aren't getting into any trouble. I walk them both daily, for my Great Dane he uses a prong collar, as well as wearing his daily collar. So I have experience in usage of prong and martingale collars. My cockalier is a bit older so she doesn't need anything besides her, and her leash! I also make sure my animals receive the proper mental enrichment. Whether it is a snuffle mat, a kong stuffed with peanut butter, or a simple training session. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years, growing up around pets and farm animals and continuing that passion throughout college. I recently graduated from Berea College and plan to attend veterinary school, so providing thoughtful, attentive care to animals is truly meaningful to me. During college, I worked on a farm caring for livestock including cattle, poultry, and swine. I monitored their health, assisted with vaccinations and routine care, and learned to recognize early signs of illness and stress in animals. I also worked as a Veterinary Assistant at Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, where I cared for dogs, cats, and exotic pets such as hamsters and lizards. I checked vital signs, assisted with treatments and surgeries, collected lab samples, and ensured animals were comfortable and safe during their stay. In high school, I participated in a program at the Cincinnati Zoo, and in college I conducted hands on research with goats. These experiences strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, enrichment, and species specific care. What sets me apart is my medical awareness and ability to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. Whether your pet is young, senior, shy, energetic, or requires medication, I am comfortable providing patient, attentive care tailored to their needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am currently studying as I prepare for higher education, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to dedicate quality time to pet care. I truly enjoy having animal breaks throughout my day, whether that is a walk, a play session, a feeding visit, or quiet companionship time. Because I structure my days around studying, I can stay consistent with your pet’s normal routine. I am available for walks, and sitting throughout the week, and I am happy to discuss specific timing needs to ensure your pet receives reliable and attentive care. Caring for animals is something I intentionally make time for! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary assistant and farm caregiver, I am trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and respond appropriately. In your home, I will treat your space with respect and care as if it were my own. I follow all instructions closely, maintain feeding schedules, refresh water, monitor litter boxes or outdoor areas, and ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured. I am comfortable administering medications if needed and can provide regular updates with photos so you feel confident and at ease while you are away. You can trust that your pet will receive patient, responsible, and thoughtful care every visit. :)

Elizabeth took excellent care of Gracie. Very reliable. She communicated with me in regard to both scheduled walks, one feeding and giving Gracie her treats. When I arrived home, Gracie was so full of energy. I think she was trying to tell me of the wonderful day she had with Elizabeth - - her new friend.

About: Growing up, I have had several and feel very comfortable with most breeds and their distinctive traits. I am a believer that pets are just like children. They needs lots of love, attention and constant care. Because of my experience, I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and caring for your dog. Our schedule is very flexible so it's easy for us to be there for your dog. We go on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they're with us. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe. You can bring your dog's favorite toys or blankets, however we have everything your dog would need to feel at home with us. I wash everything after each visit to make sure all of our things are clean for the next fur baby. We have food and water bowls, toys, beds, blankets, crates and even leashes. We want to make it as convenient as possible for you while ensuring your dog is comfortable with us.

About: I work part time at Triadelphia Veterinary Clinic as a vet assistant and I pet sit/dog walk! Prior to my vet job, I worked at a doggy daycare :) I work part time and do lots of pet care on my days off and the weekends. On the days I have work I make sure to provide your pets care before and after my shift! I typically care for animals in their own homes, as I have multi pets at my own home. I am able to take 1 dog in my own home at a time on a case by case basis.

Gianna started walking my dog weekly about a month ago. I went back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to hire someone given my dog’s reactivity on walks. I could not be happier with our choice to have Gianna!! She is responsible, communicative, patient and kind. My dog is noticeably happier when I get home, and it feels like a huge weight is off our shoulders to know he is being cared for by someone who cares for and loves him like I do. I can’t recommend her enough!!

I used Rover.com for the first time and found Emily who lives close by. She walked both our dogs twice a day while we were out of town as my live at home daughter works late. It was pretty clear the dogs loved seeing her and enjoyed the walks and attention while we were away. Greatly appreciated the texts and pictures of the dogs. We will definitely be using Emily again.

About: I have taken care of various breeds throughout my whole life. I've grown up with dogs and been taught to train them at a young age. I find the best gift to give a dog is consistency. I live in a very nice pet-friendly community in Clarksville, MD. My community is designed with walkways and amenities to properly take care of pets and keep us safe during our walks. It is very pretty surroundings and keeps the dogs (as well as me) attentive and engaged while enjoying their walk. As a chiropractor, I have a flexible schedule on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9-12 and 3-6, as well as Tuesday and Thursday from 3-6. This allows me the perfect opportunity to take care of your furry friends by letting them out and walking them during the day. As a dog walking app provider, I focus on caring for pets in the client's home by offering services such as regular dog walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I ensure that the pets are well-exercised, fed, and hydrated during my visits. I also provide updates to the pet owners, including photos and notes about how their furry friends are doing while in my care.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for over 20 years. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m not working outside the home currently so have plenty of time and lots of flexibility to take care of your pets when and how you’d like. For cats, I can feed and take care of litter boxes, brush, play with, and give lots of scratches and petting. For dogs, I can take them out on fast and vigorous or slow and gentle walks and give them belly rubs and lots of petting and scratching. I can also brush them. You just let me know what you’d like, how much, and when.

Barbara was fantastic! She walked my dogs for a week and cared for them one evening, and I felt completely comfortable having her in my home. She came to our meet and greet prepared with thoughtful questions and took detailed notes, which gave me confidence right away. Throughout the week, she was understanding of my schedule, sent great updates with adorable pictures, and I could tell my dogs were totally at ease with her. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
