Great communication, especially for a very last minute dog walk. Nikko was happy and fed when I got home. I would recommend Rut and definitely use her again.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various health and exercise needs for years. I grew up with pets in the home, ranging from a small King Charles to a 100+ pound sheepdog/poodle mix. I was a nanny to a family with a golden doodle puppy, and have also taken care of senior dogs with advanced needs. I prefer to come to your home and have a flexible work schedule that can allow me to pop in for walks or feedings. I can board smaller dogs if needed. I live in a one bedroom apartment right by a green space and within walking distance to the mall. I do have a car and can also work during the day from your home. I am always able to be available before 8:30am and after 5pm. During the week, I can typically work from home on Mondays and Fridays. With advanced notice, I can usually work Tuesday-Thursday from home but it depends on if I have in person meetings. Occasionally travel on the weekends but all trips are planned though the rest of the year. Not available August 7-15. I am in a one bedroom apartment with a green space outside and am within walking distance to the national mall. I can provide morning, afternoon, and evening care to your pet if at home or can check in/stay at your residence (preferred). I will provide frequent updates and pictures, will never feed your pet anything you have not specifically allowed, and I do not smoke or do any type of drug. Can also water plants, get mail, etc. I understand leaving your pet with a stranger is scary and can do what is needed to make you comfortable.

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since 2018. I have a friendly Double Doodle pup who can help socialize your dog and be a walking pal for him/her/them. We’re looking forward to meeting you! I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I walk my own dog through the neighborhood daily and would love to help nearby dog parents get their pup out the house during the day with a pal. I pick up your dog and allow your pup to get acquainted with my dog before we take a nice long walk, up to an hour. In the front door or yard and out, quickly!

About: Hi, my name is Sofi! I work from home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets. I’ve grown up with animals and have loved being around them my whole life. Since moving to the U.S., friends and people in my social circle have trusted me to pet sit, house sit, and take care of their pets, including dog walking. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex in a very walkable area, close to parks and green areas, perfect for daily walks and playtime. While I don’t have pets of my own, I truly enjoy their company and the joy, energy, and good moments they bring. I’m offering my services on Rover because I love spending time with pets and can provide them with attentive care while I work from home. I’m flexible on cost and cancellations. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide more details about me, you can reach out anytime, and I usually respond quickly. I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is generally flexible, so I can take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day.

About: Hi, I'm Cymia! I’m a college sophomore and student-athlete free for the rest of July and first week of august to care for your pet! I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and I started pet sitting back in middle school. When I’m not training, I love being out in nature, listening to music, and hanging out with animals. Because of my athletic background, I have plenty of energy for long, active walks, but I'm just as happy cozying up with a cat. I’m reliable, active, and available for flexible summer scheduling. I can't wait to treat your furry family members like my own I have plenty of time to care for your pets! As my schedule has no current commitments to anything else I am looking to get to know some new furry friends For my own pets, I keep a solid routine with regular meals, plenty of exercise, and a safe environment. I make sure nothing that can be chocked on or dangerous for your pet

About: I am a recent graduate student looking to care for dogs — of all sizes and ages! — in my spare time while living in DC. I grew up with two Bichon Frises (both lived to be 16+) and now have my own small rescue dog. I have also spent a lot of time with other dogs. I love walking, playing, and hanging out with animals. Also, I consider myself to be a responsible, hard-working, and communicative person. My schedule is flexible to walk your dog — I just need advance notice to make it work. Just let me know and I will do what I can to best care for your pet. Thank you for your consideration and let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you and your pet. I am currently working part-time and flexible to walk during the day. I would love to use my free time to hang and play with your pup! I am a considerate and responsible dog sitter. I’m happy to stay overnight, take your dog on walks, and assist with any special requests for your dog.

About: I adopted a dog during the pandemic and share a cat with my husband. I grew up on a farm and would watch and care for the neighbors' animals while they were on vacation. I've been working on Rover for two years. I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and giving you some peace of mind while you're at work or on vacation. I work remotely, so I am available for housesitting, walks, and drop-ins as needed. Happy to make my schedule fit with yours! I work remotely and am available to house sit and do walks/drop ins if you live in Shaw. I am excited to talk and learn more about your animals! Please see the pet care experience section. The too long didn't read version: safety first. I love animals and treat them like my own family.

Jada and Naz walked our two poodle mixes at 10pm every night while my husband was out of town for 18 nights. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, but they were able to work with her kindly and effectively. They had very good communication and were good-spirited even when it was raining.

I can’t recommend him enough! He watched my dog recently, and I immediately felt like he was someone I could trust. He’s incredibly reliable, has such great energy, and genuinely loves being around dogs. My pup was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of attention. He’s upbeat, kind, and one of those people that animals naturally seem to gravitate toward. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your dog like their own, he’s your guy.

Nikki was wonderful walking my girl Blue! She is clearly a long time dog lover and was super adaptable to accommodate any quirks. Sometimes my dog can be picky with new walkers and be unmotivated to go out with them. Not the case with Nikki - she and Blue got their steps and had a great time! It’s evident that she will treat your pet with as much as love she would her own. From a logistics perspective, Nikki is professional, communicative, and so easy to work with. If you need a dog walker / pet caregiver in the area look no further!

We were devastated when our Rover Walker relocated to the west coast; but Rover has provided a plethora of phenomenal Walkers. Becca is pitching in during vacation. She’s so kind and responsible. She shows Frankie such care and gentleness. In fact she is so good with him that I want her to continue beyond vacation. She will be walking him two days a week providing me with a much needed morning rest. Frankie has taken to her like a stamp to a letter.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
