About: I have always been an animal lover, and my job has shown me how to specially care for each and every special baby. Two years in veterinary medicine gave me the experience to confidently handle medications, diabetic care, and reactive pets. I adore even your misunderstood animals and would love to send lots of photos, videos, and updates on your pets if allowed! I currently work at a Pet Wellness Center, but my schedule is very flexible. My shifts are arranged to give me plenty of time to care for both my own pets and yours. In most cases, I can take time off if needed. I also finish work by 7 pm at the latest, so evenings are completely free if that’s what works best for you. When boarding pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where each animal feels at ease. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and follow any specific routines or instructions from their owners. I also make sure they get proper meals, medication if needed, and regular bathroom breaks. I live in a very rural, quiet part of Bedford in the middle of the woods, so along with a large yard, we have many trails, with plenty of space to run or go on leashed walks! I love sending updates with photos or videos so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Mia was extremely thoughtful, thorough, and caring towards my golden and provided updates and cute photos. It was great to have an update while I was away, especially with a first time visit. He was so happy in the pictures too! I would highly recommend and look forward to hiring her for more visits!”

About: I have had pets since I was a little girl. Started out with cats, and then when I was 9 I got my first dog. Ever since then I’ve had 5 dogs total, and around 10 cats since I was little as well. I am well versed on how to take care of both and my dog Shiloh has helped me a lot in this :) I am a counselor most days of the week but I have time in the morning and evenings most days and weekends I’m usually free. I’m here for most holidays and throughout the summer as well! I am willing and able to walk the doggos, feed them and give them water, let them out for potty breaks, brush them and wash them if needed, and taking them to the dog park is an option as well. I know how to care for cats in giving them space when needed and attention when needed, feeding and giving them water, and any other tasks I’m asked to do, as well as picking up poop.

“This was my first time using Rover, and Darcie did not disappoint! I was completely comfortable with her after the meet and greet and knew that our dogs would be in good hands. She sent pictures from each visit and you could see the smiles on our dog’s faces each time. Will definitely request her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life and have my own dog who I treat like my child 🐶 She is the most important thing in my life! I have lots of experience caring for friends and neighbors animals - all different breeds, sizes, even animals with significant medical conditions. 🐾 With having my summers off, my schedule is flexible to come care for your pet whenever needed. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening strolls, I’m available 💕 I follow their routine closely to ensure comfort.I maintain feeding schedules, provide fresh water, offer regular walks or playtime, and give lots of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and relaxed while you're away.

“Arabella and Dylan are super attentive and loving to my sweet pups. I really appreciate their approach!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of pet and animals since I was young. I myself have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and even a couple goats. I am very comfortable around a variety of sized animals and have experience not only with my own pets but also sitting for a variety of small and large dogs as well as cats. I am currently taking part time classes for the summer and will potentially be working part time during the week. With that being said, I will be available in the evenings and at various times throughout the day depending on my schedule that week! I am very flexible and would love to work with you to ensure your pets have the best experience. I have experience working with dogs from under a year to more senior in age, as well as puppies to large breeds. I am available to stop in for potty breaks throughout the day, do meals and such in the mornings and evenings, and stay over to house sit overnight if needed. Some other experience I have is working with additional pets such as cats, reptiles, and small critters.

“Charles was above and beyond what we expected. We have an English Bulldog, and he whined when he left. It was obvious he really does love animals and treats them with respect. He sent us updates throughout our absence, and kept in close contact. 5-star rating from us and highly recommended.”

About: While I am newer to Rover, I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and professors and have always loved animals. As a Certified Athletic Trainer, I am dependable, attentive, active, and committed to providing safe, compassionate care. With my active lifestyle as a collegiate swimmer for five years and my caring nature, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away! Prior to starting my job at Wake Forest University, I am pretty much free until July and have a very flexible schedule! Outside of working out and spending time with my boyfriend, I can easily work around your schedule and give your pet the attention, care, and activity they deserve. I understand how important consistency is for pets, therefore following feeding schedules, walking routines instructions, and any specific care requests closely is important to me! I also value communication and love providing regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and confident while you are away!

“Maddie was wonderful with my kitties! They bonded with her fast and she was very thorough, responsive, and overall did a great job! Would definitely book her again!”

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

“Lauren is Awesome. Max loves her and he is very comfortable with Lauren. Thanks”

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

“Leda did a great job communicating and provided lots of photos! We were very happy and will use her again.”

About: I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs for years and hope to be able to help you as well. Whether it’s a planed trip or life just getting in the way I’ll make myself available to help out in anyway I can. I’m a student at Hamden-Sydney College just outside of Farmville, Virginia. I am routinely in town especially during breaks and would love to help out in anyway I can. I am available to swing by to let dogs out during the day or take them on walks around the neighborhood. Just let me know what you’re looking for as I am definitely flexible.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

“Miranda was so professional and kind on our first visit to meet our dog. She did a wonderful job taking care of sweet girl.”
