“Brittani has been walking my dog Denim this past week, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Returning to the office has been a huge adjustment for both me and Denim since she struggles with separation anxiety, but Brittani has been so patient, kind, communicative, and reliable throughout the transition. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and that peace of mind means everything to me. Really grateful we found her, and Denim is too 🐾”
“Ian did a great job filling in for a few noontime walks for my young (still learning and sometimes reactive) hound. Thank you for the feedback and photos. And thank you for a tired pup!”
“Samantha was great with my pups, appreciated the communication after the walks and the photos shared of their walk. My pups are very shy, so appreciate her patience to let them warm up to her and spending time for pets and cuddles.”
“This amazing couple truly went above and beyond! They took my beloved Remi for a walk, fed her, and embraced all his affectionate kisses. Their warmth, punctuality, and thoughtful updates throughout the walk made the experience exceptional. Highly recommend them for their incredible care and enthusiasm. They've made a lasting impression, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Kaitlyn and Auston have been lovely with my pup! They give wonderful feedback via Rober card and were very pleasant to meet for two meet and greets (: Envy gets her much needed walkies and outdoor time with them and comes back happy!”
“Michael was amazing! He was able to walk Pepe with little notice and I very much appreciate his willingness to come over ASAP. Michael played with Pepe and you can tell he genuinely loves walking dogs through his review and pictures.”
“Zach has been great with our two pups. Our dogs look forward to their walks with Zach. He always makes sure to communicate with us and we recommend booking with him!”
About: I’ve had and loved pets my entire life! (I was convinced I was going to be a vet until I realized I would very likely sob every time a pet got sick.) From my black lab, Raven, to my cats Lily and Langston, to now, my long-haired chihuahua, Midge, animals are just a part of the day-to-day! Since age 12, I’ve been petsitting for friends, family, and neighbors (including overnight stays) and cared for dogs who are super energetic, playful, and independent to dogs who experience some anxiety and might need a bit more attention❤️! I also have experience caring for a bit older doggos. My black lab, Raven, lived to 16 and as her mobility and needs changed, I changed with her and it really taught me to be very attentive, gentle, and adaptive to a pets needs. I’m comfortable and experienced with walking, feeding, brushing, playtime, litter boxes, and loving and attention when pets want or need it❤️! So whether your pet is super energetic and playful or just wants a calm, reassuring companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and energy and make them feel loved and at home☺️🐾! I’m a rising junior at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, working part-time as a server in the Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley area. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with your pets, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever else your pet might need😊! Mainly, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays! I make sure to stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise (or just hang out if that’s more their style!) I don’t usually host pets in my home, but I’m super flexible and want to make sure your pet feels happy and loved, and I’ll always make sure to send updates and pics📸🫶!
“Claudia was excellent! She responded to my booking request quickly and on short notice. She scheduled time to meet my pups in advance. Both dogs really liked Claudia and I could tell Claudia really likes dogs. She arrived on time and took the dogs on a nice long walk. I was extremely pleased with her service and will book again next time I need doggy services.”
“Isela took great care of Max and gave him much comfort while I was away. I chose to do this at the last minute never doing anything like this before and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you, Isela!”
About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since I was very young. Through my former work at a local animal shelter, I gained valuable experience with pets of all species, ages, sizes, and needs. My days are very flexible, so I’m easily able to fit in visits at most times throughout the day. If we schedule recurring visits, I prefer they mostly stay at the same times from week to week. At this time, I am only able to care for your pet in your own home. If you have any questions about my services, please message me. I will do everything possible to accommodate the individual needs of your dog or cat.
“Joanna is always very attentive to the changes of mood/habits of my dogs! I really appreciate how she cares about every details, thanks Joanna for being you ! 🙌🏻☀️🙏🏻”
“Shanell has been walking my pup for about a week now and has been extremely reliable . I had another sitter drop out on me the day before I started my new job and Shanell responded quickly and came next day for a meet and greet! She always sends updates and my pup seems to rly be taking a liking to her. Cant wait to continue working with her!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Growing up with both dogs and cats, I gained early experience in pet care, which later extended to looking after pets for friends and family. Now, as a dog owner myself, I’m confident and comfortable handling a wide variety of breeds and attentive to any special needs they may have. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, I have the time and availability to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’d love to spend my free time helping you by giving your pets the love and attention they deserve! I don’t just focus on getting the job done—I make sure your pet has a great time too! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities!
“Jhonathan was absolutely amazing with our Olive and so patient! She's new to having outsiders around and he won her over. Highly recommend to take care of your furry ones!”
“Sweta is outstanding! Communication is key especially when away and needing to trust your walker not only with your pet but your home as well. She was prompt for the times scheduled, respectful of my space and my pet and neighborhood. Professional and kind hearted. I felt that my dog was in good hands with Sweta and will be a repeat customer in the future.”
About: I have years and years of animal experience—from senior dogs, foster kittens and horses! I love animals and I love being outside. Dog walking is the perfect supplement to my full time job and gives me an excuse to be outside as much as possible! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs. I’d love to meet your fur babies and see if we’re a good fit! I have three or four days off every week that allow me the flexibility to work around your schedule/come more than once a week if needed. I’m experienced and comfortable around dogs of all ages/temperaments. I know the importance of a routine and consistent expectations for dogs, and am happy to continue to enforce what they already know.
Groveton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hilary was great with our pug! She was reliable and provided updates and was even able to get our girl back in her crate after her walk, when she can be a bit stubborn. She was communicative and made booking and everything easy! Will definitely book Hilary again!
Kimberly has been Piper’s walker for about 2months . She is very reliable and always on time. My walk schedule is pretty flexible but she is always there when she says she will be and communicates well if anything may need to change well in advance. My pup loves to play with her and she gives great updates with the best pictures. Thankful I was able to finally find a consistent and reliable walker!
Brittany is an incredibly reliable and trustworthy dog walker! When our regular dog walker moved out of the area, I was nervous about finding someone new we could truly trust, but Brittany immediately stepped in and has taken such great care of our dog. She’s dependable, communicative, and always sends the sweetest updates and adorable photos after each walk. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. I truly can’t recommend her enough!
Julie has been wonderful walking my pug, Scout. Julie came over before she walked him for the first time, just to meet him and learn what his needs are. She’s a dog whisperer for sure… she massaged his head and put him into a trance! I’m also grateful she has a ton of experience with brachycephalic breeds, it’s always a little nerve wracking when the weather gets warmer, but Julie is a pro. Highly recommend and will be using her regularly!
Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!
Rebecca was amazing with Dewey! Dewey is always so excited to see Rebecca & Hudson and loves spending time with them. Rebecca has been helping with Dewey when I’m on work trips for a couple months now and always know she’s well cared for when I’m away. Would absolutely recommend Rebecca for other owners!
Tara has now watched Charlotte a number of times. One of the many things that I love about her is her reliability. She shows up when she says she's going to show up. Charlotte really likes her and likes going on walks with her, which sometimes isn't always the case. Charlotte is very attached to me and is not thrilled to go out with others but she's very happy to go out with Tara. We are lucky to be able to count on Tara.
Jhonathan took excellent care of my pug when I was out of town for a few days. He came over multiple times a day, fed him, and made sure to tell me he was okay by sending me updates. I couldn’t be more thankful to Jhonathan. He’s my go to person to take care of my senior pug.
