“Devinder was great! He was punctual, provided a great report and was very communicative. My pup seemed happy and refreshed when I got home. We will definitely be calling him again!”


“kathleen did a great job with my pups while i was out of town. i will absolutely be booking with her again! i have three aussies - high energy and highly velcro. she spent a few weeks doing drop ins leading up to this trip to build trust with them. during my time away, she followed my instructions to a tee, sent long updates (which i loved), and lots of pictures! as a dog mom, i can read their expressions and they looked so happy in all their pics and that made me feel so relaxed while i was away.”


“Riley was fantastic! We are new at this (first family dog) as we have a puppy and Riley was a huge help to jump in at the last minute. She was kind enough to fit us in her already tightly booked schedule as we were in a huge bind! She updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Thanks Riley!! We will definitely contact her again!”


“Kade was absolutely amazing! Very responsive and so many adorable pictures of my fur babies—just what I needed to brighten my day at work! 10/10 recommend! Will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Kade!”


“maeve was thoroughly tired and napped well for the rest of the day & night! her hips seem to be benefitting from getting more exercise too- thank you!”


About: Hello there! My name is Sammy and I have been around animals all of my life and they have inspired me in so many different ways. I have been managing doggy daycare/boarding facilities for a little over 3 years now so I guess you can say pet care is my specialty! I am dog and cat CPR certified, certified through the DHA (dog handler academy),I know how to give injections, and my knowledge on dog behavior is quite extensive. I have decided to go back to school as well which is why my schedule is so open. Currently I own a 2 year old Golden Retriever as well as the cutest cat ever that are both my world. I hope you decide to let me into your pets heart as I treat every pet like my own. ~Wags & Wiggles, Sammy🐾 I am going back to school which means I have a very open schedule. I am also pretty flexible with times and last minute bookings. When it comes to a clients home,I always like for us to meet before I start my services so everyone feels more comfortable. I will also provide pictures for my clients of your fur baby & I having a good time!

“Kate made our first Rover experience amazing. Our dog was well taken care of with a great walk and feeding. The pics we got were super thoughtful and it was really comforting to see our pup so happy while we were gone. Highly recommend her and will be rebooking when needed! Thanks so much Kate!”


“Katherine is wonderful! Clearly a dog lover - she takes extra care and time to get to know your pup and make them feel comfortable around her. We use her for daily walks and are so glad we found her.”


“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”


“Absolutely wonderful! Flexible, came early when I asked, was so perfect with the dogs, easy to work with, accommodating, professional, got the job done and gave 110%! I have two tired pups!”


“Maria and Luis were so kind. Great communication, very accomodating to my last-second changes, and my dogs love their new friends. I would book with them again- highly recommend Maria and Luis!”


“Andrew goes above and beyond for my little buddy Palmer. I was so bummed I had to work a 4 night stretch starting on my dog’s least favorite day of the year. As always though, he was very well taken care of and Andrew even walked him a bit extra to try to get him to do his business when he was too anxious to go .”


About: I love absolutely love dogs! I work from home as a Generative AI associate so my schedule is very flexible and ideal for taking care of your dog when you're busy or away. I'm available mornings, afternoons, or evenings, basically whenever you need. And my apartment is located in Shockhoe Bottom near two parks, ideal for walks. I grew up with Lhasa Apso pups (Cassie and Teddy) and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for about 5 years. I've taken care of a variety of breeds, ranging from a Chinese crested to a boxer-pitbull mix. I'm a very compassionate, gentle, and patient person. I love spending time with dogs and look forward to meeting yours! :) I work from home, so pet care fits into my schedule super easily. I can take dogs out for potty breaks and walks as needed. I live in an apartment, so my living situation better aligns with smaller dog breeds. But park proximity still allows for walks and outside time.

About: Hi I'm Marielisa. I love animals, I grew up with dogs and cats & have my own dog. I will take care of your fur baby just like my own. I am extremely attentive, am fine with long or short distance walks. Rain or shine I am there. I have watched dogs/cats of various breeds & ages. Currently I have open availability, so i can work around your schedule! I have a car so i can travel to you no problem (: I am able to walk or run with your pet based off needs. I can feed them wet or dry food. Have playtime or change their litter/ take them to use the bathroom.

About: Hi! I have taken care of pets from different backgrounds and families and am willing to adjust and accommodate to any environment that is needed for the pet I currently work a full time job in Short Pump and commute home to the city. I am able to work around pet parents schedules if given enough notice in advance, and I appreciate those willing to work with my own schedule as well. No access to a yard for pups, and I do not have the space to accommodate for pups, therefore for boarding purposes I can only care for cats. I have an extra litter box, toys, and treats for your pet. Please feel free to bring your pets own food and their personal toys if necessary.


About: I have always loved animals and never come across a dog or animal I didn't like. I have two dogs that are truly my babies, and I treat any dog I come across as I would my own. I take my boys walking every day, sometimes hiking and other fun stuff like that. I am in college for nursing and would like an additional income and felt this is a good way to make some extra cash. I have experience with all types of animals being that I used to work at a Vet's office and I am dependable and trustworthy. I guarantee you will be more than satisfied with my services and i am very flexible and able to deal with older, or needier animals. Thanks for looking!

“Shelley is so sweet with my pup! Very communicative as well, always leaves a nice note about how the visit went, which makes me feel like my lil guy is in good hands :)”

Marielisa R.
“Beyond being one of the friendliest people I know, Marielisa is consistent, reliable, and so loving to my fur baby. Her professionalism is unmatched and she is always so excited to see Beef (my cat). I have never had an issue with communication or attendance with Marieisa and she has always treated my baby as if she were her own. She took her time to let Beef get to know her and to see her patience with my very picky cat warmed my heart immensely, I truly could not recommend Marielisa enough!”


Wesley B.
“We have known each other for years now and I feel so lucky to know them and have such an amazing, trustworthy, and loyal friend. In this time, I have also gotten to see them interact with various different animals, including my own, and this is without a doubt someone who absolutely loves animals and would do anything to make sure your pets are as happy as can be!”

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
