“She was amazing! She came to help us out in a pinch, and I’m so grateful she was available. She was on time, followed all of my instructions, communicated really well, and kept me updated. She was super helpful and took great care of my dog. When I got home from work, he was happy and TIRED in the best way, so I know he got a great walk in! I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”

“Christy was so wonderful, we are so lucky we found her on rover! She walked our dog once a day while we were out of town and our dog was staying with my parents. Our dog loved her and was so excited to see her everyday. She was kind and professional and a pleasure to work with. I would hire her again without hesitation!”

About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.

“This was my dog’s first walk with Youlee. My dog was nervous at first but when she came home she was so happy! Youlee was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. I’ll definitely hire her again.”

Lee T.

“Harry is extremely reliable and is great with my older dog. He keeps me updated on their walks and sends me pictures of their walks. Will definitely request him as Molly's walker again!”

Rachel S.

“Isela was an amazing dog walker and took the best care of our pup!! She is super kind and attentive and we always knew our dog was safe and happy with her!”

Erin O.

“Chelsea has been so great to work with. I know Kayson is in good hands and I appreciate her taking Kayson on walks while my husband and I are working. She’s responsive, kind, and always takes such good care of him!”

Sean & Rika T.

“You should hire Paige! She has been great with my nervous rescue dog and is so patient with him. I feel like I’m leaving him with someone who cares about him as much as I do. I cant thank Paige enough!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life — from our childhood Irish Setter, Sadie, to our five cats and three birds. Beyond family pets, I’ve also cared for my own animals, including my boss’s elderly Chihuahua, Tu, who is now a sweet 15‑year‑old “little old lady” that I look after entirely, as well as my pony, Sea Star. I bottle‑fed Sea Star as a child, trained him to ride, and taught him to pull a cart throughout high school. I have hands-on experience that I believe typical pet-sitters do not hold. Some examples include dog-sitting for our neighbors for two summers in middle school, managing their eight rescue dogs with no issues and also volunteering to feed and care for a friend’s 13 horses once a week, morning and night, throughout an entire winter. I also just completed a 2 month house sitting job for a family this summer. I maintained their home, their many, many plants and also took detailed care of their 3 adorable cats. Over the years, I’ve taken responsibility for all of our family pets as well when parents or siblings have gone away on trips (canaries, parakeets, 2 dogs and 5 cats.) I’m comfortable with animals of every temperament, size, and background, and many people say I have a natural ability to get animals to warm up to me quickly even if they struggle with fear and/or anxiety. I treat every animal as a valuable, sentient creature deserving of respect, patience, and kindness. My priority is always to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Currently I'm in part time online school and only working flexible jobs such as pet-sitting, house sitting, babysitting etc. With this work life, my availability is flexible and I am able to prioritize your pets schedule. I do have resposibilities at my church on Sundays and Tuesdays for part of the day and am also driving two high-school girls to and from school every other week consistently. These are the only set in stone commitments I have currently. I do not guarantee full 24/7 care however I will do my best to be as available as I can be! I believe that the way a person treats animals reveals their true character so I go out of my way to show honor, patience and tender love to all animals, no matter there species or personalities. I will prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every animal. I will also follow all rules and routines to ensure that every animal under my care is comfortable and not thrown off. In a client’s home, I will maintain their established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any training or behavioral expectations the owner has in place. I make sure water is always fresh, the space stays clean, and the pet receives plenty of attention and any reassurance they need. I’m attentive to body language and comfort levels, and I adjust my interactions to match each animal’s personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double‑check doors, gates, and enclosures, monitor for any signs of stress or illness, and ensure that walks, playtime, and outdoor time are supervised and appropriate for the pet’s age, energy level, and temperament. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for, and for every owner to know their animal is in trustworthy, capable hands.

About: I have a passion for animals and my community. I have been taking care of animals of all kinds for over ten years now. I am also an active person who can help tire out your animals with a long walk or run. I am flexible with my schedule and will be happy to work with you when things come up. My prices are negotiable and I am happy to discuss details of any sit further! I'm currently working full-time in McLean, but I am only in office 4 days a week, so I am happy to do weekend sits or weekday sits and check in on your pets before and after work if that works for their activity level. I am very active, so I would be happy to walk or run with your pet! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I give them attention and take care of them to the fullest. I take note of any behavior changes and flag them with the pet parent to ensure nothing goes unnoticed.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies and kittens to senior, shy, and anxious pets, I tailor my care to what makes each pet happiest and most comfortable. I’m comfortable with long walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention, while always following your instructions and your pet’s usual routine. Whether they want an adventure or a cozy day at home, they’ll have my full attention and care! 🐾💫 My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and keeping your pets company. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I’ll always treat your pet and your home like they’re my own. I’m big on following the routine they’re already comfortable with, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and my whole family, including cousins, all have dogs! So it was natural that I finally would get a dog. I wanted to wait until I had the time and attention to do so. It was life changing when I got my lab, Baxter. I instantly fell in love! Not even two years later, I looked to rescue another dog. Daisy came along as a rehome and again, I had no idea how much more my love for dogs would grow. Baxter and Daisy loves other dogs. We have a huge yard that they truly enjoy and the neighborhood pups also love. I’ve watched other people’s dogs and have had other family members’ dogs for weeks at a time. Your pup(s) will have a great time with us! They will be treated as family! Currently I work from home and am available for daily long walks, but I do have a yard for those pets with less mobility. If there are any additional tasks needed for the care of the pet, I will ensure they receive it. I treat my pups as family, and would do the same for any pets I will watch. They will lots of love and pets. I try to learn their personality and make them feel at home as soon as possible, allowing them access to all parts of my home.

About: I come from a rescue-happy family, and I am surrounded by dogs of all ages & sizes. My fiancé and I have a young dog of our own, and I hope to give your dog the same treatment we give to ours- a safe home, a watchful eye, rewards for good behavior, and a fun & adventurous day. I graduated from George Mason University in May of 2019 where I was also a student athlete. I currently work remote and am grateful that my schedule allows me to be flexible. That being said I am widely available to take care of your pup. I am all for lots of exercise, regular bathroom breaks, and unlimited snuggles. I'd love to meet your dog and see how I can help! I am available any day of the week as well as any time! My job allows me to work remotely so I have flexibility depending on my meeting schedule for the day! My fiancé and I live in a house with our almost 3 year old dog, where we have a fenced backyard to safely play and have fun!
