About: Growing up, my family has owned many dogs and other pets, and I have always been heavily involved in their care. I had a dog walking business a few years ago, and I regularly watched the dogs of our friends and neighbors. My family also fostered a dog for a time, which I was heavily involved in. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to walk and care for many different dogs through Rover. Throughout all of these experiences, I have had to care for many different types of dogs, both big and small, and old and young. As a result, I am comfortable with all types of breeds and know how to navigate challenges when it comes to pet care. Most importantly, I love dogs! I am available every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I am very flexible and can always find time to accommodate other schedules. Please check my calendar for any days marked unavailable. When caring for dogs in the homes of others, I make sure that they are comfortable, well fed, and loved. When walking dogs, I always make sure to go at their pace, pick up after them, and keep them safe.

About: I started taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds when I was 14 years old. I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. I have been a cat and dog mom for 28 years and have had 2 leash and dog-reactive dogs (strong, 60 pound+ mutt and pit bull) so I am experienced in dealing with these situations. I have strong situational awareness with my head on a swivel when walking dogs. My senior kitty required specialized medical care at the end of her life with daily prescription medication and subcutaneous fluids. I have volunteered as a dog walker and cat snuggler at Friends of Homeless Animals rescue. I have been a social worker for 30 years and am nearing retirement from full-time employment. I would love to use my love of animals to continue working as a pet-sitter and dog walker. I am very organized, detail-oriented and will care for your pet as I care for my own. I would love to meet you and your pets to see how I can be of service. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but am retiring at the end of September. My weekends are currently free. I have some flexibility in my weekday schedule so I may be available on a case-by-case basis for weekday dog walks that are in western Loudoun County and within a 10 minute drive of my home. I will care for your pet in your home so that they will be the most comfortable. I am available for overnight stays to keep your pet company and to provide close supervision, lots of TLC, food, water, potty breaks and anything else you may need. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am very detail-oriented, responsible and dependable. As a bit of an overprotective dog mom, I have needed to entrust my dog's care to a pet sitter. My dog is my world. So I know just how valuable trust, dependability and attention to detail are. What matters to you matters to me. I will follow your instructions down to the smallest detail. I will be diligent in communicating with you, sending regular updates and photos of your pet so that you know they are safe and happy in my care.

“Jennifer is wonderful with our pets and also very considerate, leaving our house cleaner than when we left. It's nice to be able to relax on vacation without worrying about how things are going at home. With Jennifer we know everything's fine. Highly recommend her!”

“Grace watched our French bulldog Otis for a week while we were on a family vacation. She provided exceptional care of Otis and our home. She followed our directions for Otis’s schedule and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. They became best friends by the end of the week! I would recommend Grace to anyone who wants a responsible, kind and caring dog sitter!”

“Celina was the best! She took great care of Theo and kept me updated while I was overseas on my trip. Theo loved her, and he’ll definitely be seeing her again.”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calmer routine, I'm happy to provide the care and attention that works best for them. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm a college student that's home for the summer with a lot of extra time on my hands. My schedule is completely open for anything you may need! When caring for pets, my top priorities are their safety, comfort, and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor time, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their families by providing dependable, loving care in a safe environment.

About: My family has raised goats and chickens since I was around 10, and have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I've grown up around animals my whole life and I am accustomed to caring for goats, chickens, dogs, and cats! I'm currently home in Northern Virginia from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for all of your animals!! I have a fenced in yard for dogs as well as plenty of space to take them for walks! As well, I have litter boxes/safety measures set up for my 4 cats. I have 8 goats and 13 chickens so I'm used to making sure the outdoor animals are safe from predators and locked safely into their houses at night.

“Vicki was great, Will most certainly use her again.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and energy I bring to every pet I look after. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. As an active person, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, exercise, and interactive play. I am comfortable caring for puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may require a gentler approach and extra attention. I am reliable, communicative, and always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. During the summer and school breaks, I have even greater flexibility and can dedicate additional time to caring for pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, making dog walking and playtime something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care based on their individual needs. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or extended pet sitting, I am committed to being reliable, communicative, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements. I understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. During walks and visits, I remain attentive to my surroundings and ensure pets are always safely leashed and supervised. I provide plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship while respecting the rules and routines established by the owner. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving excellent care. I treat every pet and home with the same level of respect, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years and currently share my home with 4 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals is just part of my everyday life. I’ve watched pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and I’ve consistently gotten great feedback for being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule, playtime preferences, or more. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me! I’m home for the summer before starting full time work in the fall, so my schedule is wide open right now. I can do daily walks, drop ins, or daycare any day of the week, mornings or afternoons, without restriction! I’m also flexible for last minute requests since I don’t have a fixed work schedule to plan around. Once fall hits my availability will shift, but for now I have plenty of time to give your pet attention and exercise. I’m comfortable following whatever routine or rules you have set up, whether that’s feeding times, medication, leash rules, or specific areas your pet is or isn’t allowed in. I always make sure doors and gates are secure before and after walks/check-ins, and I’ll send updates or photos so you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

About: I grew up with large dogs my whole life and have watched a number of friends/family's dogs over the years! I love taking dogs on walks and spending time caring for pets. I am home for the summer before I move away for my post graduate education. I would love to help take care of your fur baby! I live in a very safe and walkable neighborhood, with a dog park and great walking trails, that way your pup stays safe, entertained, and gets their exercise!

About: I grew up on a small farm and currently live with one sweet cat and two fun pups! I’ve house sat and worked with a wide range of animals- from dogs and cats to fish and farm animals- often caring for multiple pets at once. I’m flexible, dependable, and always willing to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’ve just finished a work contract and have a flexible schedule for the next few months. I’m available most days and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine! I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable. I take great responsibility in respecting your home and space, follow routines closely, and provide dependable care with regular updates!

About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)

About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including a 15-year-old dachshund. I provide a daily routine, health monitoring, and a comfortable, enriched life for senior pets. I am available to board your pet in our home. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your needs. I have experience in caring for all types of pets and will provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pet while you are away. I have a fenced yard and a 13-year-old dachshund. I am happy to puppysit for you. While you are away, your furbaby can stay at our home, where I will treat them like our own.

About: I've lived with dogs since I was born, being able to responsibly care for them even as a kid. I've taken care of the dogs of my neighbor and family friends plenty of times, but even when I'm home I always do the same job. Walk/run, play, feed, water, medicate. Whether it's a grapefruit sized chihuahua or a polar bear sized pyrenees, I've got you covered. Whether they're energetic, shy, or old, I'm here for them all the same. I'll be a junior at Kent State University this fall and I'm looking for work this summer from 5/11 to 8/17. I'm a college student with no part or full time summer job, my availability is always up for discussion whether it's the morning, afternoon, or multiple overnight stays. If I agree to a job, I'm going to come through and finish it. You won't see me flaking out on an opportunity to see dogs. So long as I have a rundown of what I need to do and where everything I need to complete the job is, you can count on me to respect your home and your family. Dogs are always family, they deserve to be treated as such. I'll be sure to write down specific rules about crating or separating multiple dogs when feeding you might have if you haven't written them for me.

About: I grew up with so many animals and was taking care of them as soon as I could walk! We had at least 3 dogs at a time, a cat, etc. I love to take my dogs on long walks! I’m currently working at a restaurant during the weekday nights but available daytime and mornings! My family moved away and took the animals so I’m wanting that animal love back in my life! I just make sure they’re being taken care of and getting lots of exercise and pets! Pet affection is the best type of love and I miss it!
