I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.

“Maggie did a great job walking our two dogs. She is responsive to requests, arrives on time, and our dogs (Husky and Maltese) were comfortable around her. She demonstrated good experience interacting with our dogs and taking them on their walks. We won't hesitate to use her again as our future walking needs arise.”

About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.

“Joseph was awesome. Great communication throughout the whole process.”

I have had dogs in my life since I was born and i definitely cannot live without one! I have a degree and a cosmetology license! I was interested in doing rover on the side due to my love of animals and to fill my extra availability. I love dogs and have owned them ever since I was born! I am very used to big dogs and small dogs because i have owned them all or taken care of them all! I currently help neighbors out by walking, feeding, playing and allowing there dogs to go potty while they are away. I love all animals!

I care for my personal dogs by having a fenced in yard and play with them a couple times a day. They get fed twice a day morning and night on as best of a routine and time frame i can do everyday. I have a service dog in training so he comes to a lot of places with me and he is a rescue!

“Katirna was a lifesaver when we needed a walker while visiting Blue Ridge for a wedding. She was so sweet and patient with our senior dog to the point where she took him out twice just to accommodate his slow walking. We highly recommend her to anyone living or visiting this area!”

About: I have always had pets as long as I can remember even from being a baby. I love dogs and cats so much and my heart for animals is so big.

My schedule is 90% flexible 90% of the time. Monday through Sunday. All hours of the day/night. So yeah. I care for my clients pets as they need me to. Whether it be in the fence or on a leash, in the public or in the private. I go directly based on the instructions I get left from the peoples pets I am sitting. Every pet is different.

About: I grew up with lots of pets, a golden retriever, labs, a vizsla, and siamese cats. I have worked with a non-profit rehabbing retired throroughbreads and retraining them for lives off the track, which has given me confidence, patience, and adaptability in handling spirited animals.
