“Tara is awesome and little Frank just loves her!! Helped him push through some stubbornness about long walks and made sure he was well taken care of. :)”


“Isis is truly truly amazing! I am new to the area and I have such a peace of mind knowing that she is the one coming into my home and taking care of my two babies! She’s great on communication and taking pictures during her visits which I absolutely love and best of all she cares for them as if they’re her own! I look forward to using her in the future! Book with her ASAP!”



“We could not have asked for a better dog walker/pet sitter! Megan took such amazing care of our babies while my husband and I were out of town for a wedding. The service Rover offers is amazing! But Megan goes above and beyond to care for your fur babies. We could count on timely photo updates of our pups out on their (nice longgg) walks and even extra pics of cuddle time after. It was a comfort knowing they were being so well cared for when we were away. I will not hesitate to ask for Megan’s help again the next time we travel!”


“Katherine was fantastic! Helped with my last minute request for my pup, who had a great time on her daily walks. Katherine was communicative and kind, going above and beyond to care for my pup while I was working long hours.”


“Laurelyn took great care of our puppies! She was always on time, and impressively quiet when she came in to get the puppies. They always came home from their walks happy and tired. Thanks Laurelyn! 🐾”


“Kate has been super responsive to messages and was very easy to interact with for the first time walking our dog. She made the process easy and was great with our middle-aged cocker mix, Kuzu. Highly recommend!”

“I have had the best experience ever with Samantha walking my dog! She is super reliable, communicates well/fast, and treats your animal as her own. My dog is super high energy/not the best on the leash, and she has handled him super well.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have worked for a pet hospital, a cat breeder, and have fostered numerous litters of kittens as well as puppies. I have trained all the animals I have personally owned. I am currently a graduate student who volunteers as an EMT with the city of Virginia Beach. My schedule is very flexible and open. I like to schedule 1 week out. I have a large fenced in backyard and my two dogs are kennel trained for their safety. I leash walk all pets for their safety as well.

For my own home, I have a large backyard with lots of space to roam.

“Kelly is kind, gentle, punctual, and trustworthy!! I had shoulder surgery so Kelly came over daily to walk my two dogs. One day, there were several emergency vehicles blocking my street. Kelly couldn’t get through with her car so she went home, got her bike, and made it to my house. Dedication and perseverance. Thank you, Kelly!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. Not only did my family own dogs growing up, I volunteered at a shelter in college. Friends, family, and neighbors alike have trusted me to care for their pets. My company allows be to work remote; therefore, pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I might not be in a position to own a dog long term, per care comes naturally to me and is something I enjoy doing. I offer pet care in the clients home. I noticed dogs feel more at ease in their home environment. As long a there is Wi-Fi I can work from my clients house and tend to their pets.

About: I’ve help take care of all of my own dogs since I was three. My personal love for dogs goes beyond just mine and I intend to treat each animal I work with as if it were my own! I just graduated college and am waiting on a job opportunity. In the mean time, I figured walking dogs would be a great source of activity and income during this time in my life! I frequently take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they are well taken care of. I bathe my own dog at least once a week and am open to providing that service as well.

“Jim did a great job walking Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. He always texted to let me know when he was on his way and was flexible when I needed to adjust times. He even took Eilidh to/home from daycare one day. He gave her a lot of affection and brought her treats (which she loved). I will definitely use Jim again if I have a need.”


About: For the past two years, I’ve walked my aunt’s dog daily to help him on his weight loss journey. He’s already lost 10 pounds and can now fit into the Christmas sweater I got him—it’s been so rewarding to see his progress! I’ve also had the privilege of dog-sitting for multiple families, all of which have been incredibly successful experiences. Having always had a dog of my own, I truly can’t imagine life without one. Their joy and constant happiness are contagious, and being around dogs never fails to brighten my day! As a James Madison University student in my final semester, caring for animals—especially dogs—brings so much happiness to my life. I’m passionate about helping others and providing the best care for their pets. I’m available Monday through Sunday, with flexibility depending on the time and advance notice. Pets truly brighten my days, and I’d love to be there for yours! When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness, whether in my home or yours. At my home, I have a spacious, open backyard where my pup loves to run and play freely. He’s very dog-friendly and enjoys interacting with other dogs. I’m happy to take your dog to the dog park, on walks, or anywhere they feel most comfortable and relaxed. My goal is to provide a fun and engaging environment tailored to their needs.

“Brittni has been a huge help when it comes to looking after my dog! She is reliable, professional, and truly treats my pet as one of her own. My job calls for long hours and being able to rely on her to check on my pet while I’m gone gives me peace of mind.”

Cordillia A.
“Cordillia worked for me at our Luxury Dog Resort for 1 year. She was reliable, punctual and trustworthy. She will get to know your pet individually and knows to trust her instincts if she feels anything is "off" with your pet. She watched our 2 year old Lab Charlotte at our home for a week also while we were in Alaska. Our Resort was sold out ironically so we needed a pet sitter for our own dog. She gave me frequent updates and my dog was perfectly happy and healthy when we returned. You will be lucky to have her care for your pets.”

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
