Dog Walking Dover Crystal

About: I have had a mini Goldendoodle for the past five years and raising him has made me adore dogs. Seeing all their unique personalities is enjoyable and I love giving them the best life possible. I regularly watch his cousin so I have plenty of experience handling multiple dogs. I work from home so have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I currently walk my dog a few times throughout the day to get out of the house. I provide attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes by following their instructions and maintaining their dog’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping their home clean and secure.

“Kelly is a fantastic walker and our Ducky has been extremely happy and satisfied with each walk! Kelly is very detailed and will give updates on what Ducky did and where he went after every walk”

“Sarah came by on short notice and was great with Benji, taking lots of pictures and giving him a longer walk than I probably would have. Huge help while we're adjusting to the new city.”

“Anne did a great job communicating her availability and being timely on our scheduled walks. She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well. I really appreciate her patience and professionalism to keeping us in the loop on GPS tracking and his status during the walk. Thanks Anne!”

About: I grew up with a dog and cat and pet sat for people since 2013. I took a pre-vet class throughout high school where I learned about feeding, cutting nails, grooming, restraint, etc. I also worked as a vet assistant for a few years where I expanded on those skills and learned what to look out for and how to care for any type of pet. I work from home a decent bit and/or work half days so I am pretty flexible during the week days. My work is also flexible so I can prioritize the times you need me to be there. Since I have 2 cats in a one bedroom apartment, I won't be bringing pets to my place. When I go to your home, I will try to make the pets feel comfortable and be a happy smiling face to them. Of course, I will give them some love, pets, food, water, or whatever you and the pet need from me!

“Paris was super flexible last minute and made sure to know all about my doggo and his walking habits so she would be prepared for a walk. This type of care does not go unnoticed and I am super appreciative!”

About: I've been dog-sitting for a few years for friends and family and love having extra furry friends around the house! I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, have raised a few puppies, and currently live with a very sweet dog named Olive and an adorable cat named Mancha. I currently work from home so I can spend all day with your pups! Available for boarding for most weekdays and weekends except when traveling. I live near a trail for easy walks, and Olive loves to hang our with her doggy friends! I have multiple bedrooms if your pup prefers their space and a spare crate and tons of extra toys ❤️

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for six family dogs, including two Toy Poodles, two Yorkies, a Maltese, and a Havanese. I helped with leash training, potty training, socialization, and teaching tricks during their puppy years. I also have years of experience dog sitting a variety of breeds, including Basset Hounds, Labs, Standard Poodles, Retrievers and Dachshunds. I work fully remotely from my apartment in Clarendon, right next to 11th Street Park, a peaceful, grassy spot where local dogs gather throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pup plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work a fully remote job and live an active lifestyle. Fitting pet care into my weekly routine will work great because of my flexible work schedule, close proximity to a great park and local walking trails. I am used to always being around dogs my whole life and love to care for them. I have an outdoor balcony, large sectional couch, plenty of blankets, and live close walking distance to many dog parks and parks. I will care for your pet how you would like whether that is couch rules, sleeping scenarios, feeding schedules, walking and training routines. I am available for drop ins, walks or having them spend the night at my apartment.

“Caroline did an excellent job of walking my dog Jack. She was very communicative and followed all my instructions.”

About: I grew up with a dog, so I know how much love and companionship they bring to a family! These days, I regularly spend time playing with my colleague’s dog, and it’s always a highlight of my day. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to let your pup warm up at their own pace. My goal is to help them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos so you can feel connected to your furry friend! I work full-time but have the flexibility to work from home, which allows me to fit pet care into my day. On days I’m home, I can make time for potty breaks, playtime, and companionship around my meetings. I’ll confirm my schedule with you before each booking to make sure it fits your pup’s needs! I’ll take time to learn about your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep them leashed on walks, and check with you before introducing new treats or interactions with other dogs. You can also expect photo updates and clear communication throughout each visit!

“If my pug Mimi could leave a review herself for Haoran (Selina), it would probably go something like this: “I had such a lovely walk! Since I’m older now, I really appreciate someone patient, gentle, and happy to go at my pace. She took wonderful care of me and sent my mama adorable photos. I came home with extra treats and lots of tail wags. Her calm, sweet demeanor made me feel comfortable. My mama says she’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cares about every dog she meets. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””

“Thank you for taking care of Roan on such short notice. Appreciate all your help! I’m glad I’ve found someone dependable (whom my dog likes!) in the area. Thanks again!”

About: Hi, I'm Haley! I recently moved to Northern Virginia from Metro Detroit for work and am excited to get to know the area—one dog walk at a time! I've been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with multiple dogs. Back home, I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix named Creed, who is truly my best friend. Since moving, I've really missed having dogs around, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover. Starting in high school, I regularly dog sat and cared for pets for several families in my neighborhood. Whether they were away on vacation or just needed an extra hand, I helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets felt loved and comfortable while they were gone. I'm very active and love being outdoors, so long walks, runs, and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. My work schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of availability throughout the week to help care for your dog. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'll always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I'll treat your pup like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My work schedule as a medical device representative varies from day to day, so no two weeks look exactly the same. Because of that, I often have weekdays where I finish work early and have plenty of time available for dog walks and pet care. I also don't work weekends, which means I'm available throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you'll always know my availability before booking. Since I currently offer dog walking services, my goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs and energy level. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely stroll or a more active walk, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. I'll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd give my own. During each visit, I'll make sure they have fresh water when we return, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and a summary of our walk. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll do everything I can to make both you and your dog feel comfortable and cared for.

“McKenna was great to work with! She took great care of our dog and was very responsive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her and would be happy to work with her again.”

“Michael walked our dog once per day for more than a week. He was punctual and the walking map showed he gave our dog good exercise. I would rebook with him without a moment’s thought.”

Thomas R.

“Angela was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. They can be a handful so I appreciated her attentiveness to them. She was always punctual and an excellent communicator. I definitely plan to book her again.”

Maggie H.

“Charlie was enthusiastic, accommodating and very good with our dogs! The dogs seeing Charlie was the highlight of their day. 3 dogs is a big ask of anyone but she was able to get comfortable and did really well walking and letting them potty. Highly recommend!”

About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

“Great job working with my pup and keeping me updated!”
