“Erin was awesome! She came over to meet Gizmo beforehand and wanted to know about the breed, his personality, his routine, it was so clear she truly cares about the pets she cares for! Gizmo loved his walks and playtime with Erin, She’s the best!”
“Kyle is awesome!! I can tell that he really cares and takes his time with my boy! Despite my boy's troubles with reactivity, it doesn't prevent Kyle from giving Hufflepuff a great walk!! I appreciate him a bunch!”
“Laurie has been great with my 12 year old puppy Mo! She’s made adjustments for his new health needs and was extremely communicative and flexible. Would hire her again!”
“I wish I could leave an extra star! Savonna truly cares about Leo and spends intentional time with him in addition to his walks. Savonna is respectful of schedules and spaces, and communicates effectively. Leo adores Savonna and I hope we can continue this partnership for a long time!”
About: I am an animal loving person with a lot of experience with dogs. I studied animal science at Wamogo Regional High School and am a graduate of Central Connecticut State University. I understand how hard it is to go away on vacation as a pet owner, as I have a dog, cat, fish, and five goats! I have experience with cows, pigs, sheep, and a ton of experience with horses. I am also very experienced and comfortable with administering medications. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and I will accommodate all of their needs. I love all types and sizes of dogs too! Please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! :) I work full time remotely, so my schedule is rather flexible. I will try my best to accommodate your and your pets schedules. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! Safety and trust play a huge role in the bond created between me and my animals. I place large importance on getting animals to be comfortable in order for them to trust, while maintaining a level of safety in the form of training.

Available weekdays and weekends to help out however needed I create a safe and trusting environment for your pets to make sure they are comfortable in your absence. I currently own a shy senior shelter dog and a rowdy puppy, so Im used to adjusting to different pup personalities to make them happy!

“Simi is amazing. My pup loves her, she gives him a great walk twice a week. Simi communicates well and regularly, and even went above and beyond to clean his foot when my dog was bothering it. She is incredibly kind and compassionate, I highly recommend her.”
“Susan is so wonderful! Quick to respond and she sends a ton of photos. She often helps in a last minute pinch and Aries just loves her. He always has such a big smile and wag when he sees her. Strongly recommend!!”
“Nicole was great with our dog Badger. She was able to come meet us on super short notice before agreeing to walk Badger, which I really appreciated. She was very patience and sweet with Badger too! Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly is a great match for me and my pup! She is very experienced with animals and dogs. She is reliable, responsive, and dedicated to her work. I can relax knowing he is safe and happy with her. Also, she is great at being flexible when the rover app occasionally glitches and always makes sure I know what Jett is up to.”
Fairlington-Shirlington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Max was great. Went above and beyond both days we used his services. Day One went a little awry with one of our dogs getting injured (through no fault of Max's!) And he communicated immediately and even waited with our dogs until we were able to make it home even though he didn't have to. Would highly recommend Max and would use him again in the future.
Hilary did a great job taking care of Mona while we were away. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and it was clear Mona was comfortable and happy in her care. Mona is 17 and has a few extra needs, including medication, and Hilary handled everything perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We’d absolutely book with her again.
Vianca is a rockstar and I can't say enough good things about her. She is a wonderful human and loves animals and they in turn love her. She is attuned to the needs of my senior princess and I feel so comfortable with leaving my squishy baby with Vianca. She is the best!
Rachel was flexible and communicative. Sirena loved her from the second she met her which means a lot to us since she’s a nervous girl. She was sure to communicate all the things Sirena had done with her as well as asked questions if anything came up. We definitely recommend her and will use her again :) thank you Rachel !
Albedardo is such a genuine and trustworthy guy! We love him and so do our pups! Our little dogs are like our children so we need to be sure that anyone we entrust their care to is going to treat them with love and kindness. Albedardo does this and then some. Absolutely top class young man, super reliable and flawless communication always keeping us informed of even the tiniest details so that we’re never left wondering how the visit went and how the dogs are doing when we’re not there. Highly recommended!
