About: Hello, my name is Sierra! As a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between animals and their families. With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, I've honed my skills in providing compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services.

About: What sets me apart as a dog walker and pet sitter is my deep passion for dogs and my commitment to their well-being. I bring several special skills to the table that make me an exceptional choice for your furry friend: Puppy Training Expertise: I have extensive experience in training puppies, helping them develop into well-behaved and socialized dogs. Whether it's basic obedience commands, leash training, or potty training, I can provide the guidance and consistency needed to nurture your puppy's growth. Senior Dog Care: I understand the unique needs of senior dogs, including mobility issues, dietary restrictions, and the importance of gentle exercise. I'm equipped to offer the extra care and attention required to ensure their comfort and happiness. Tailored Exercise Programs: I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to dog walking. I'll customize exercise routines to suit your dog's age, breed, and energy level, ensuring they get the right amount of physical and mental stimulation during our walks. Safety First: Your pet's safety is my top priority. I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, and I use the latest safety equipment and best practices during walks.

Whether it's a daily walk or occasional pet sitting, I'm here to make your life easier. When you choose me as your dog walker and pet sitter, you're not just hiring someone to take care of your dog; you're gaining a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring partner who will go the extra mile to ensure your pet's happiness and well-being. I am working full-time position from home and am looking to use my time in the evenings and weekends to help other pets get their exercise and gain enrichment. I walk my own dogs during my lunch break on the weekdays and take them for longer walks to the creek on the weekends. For Dog Walking Services in the client's home: Meet and Greet: Before any service begins, I like to schedule a meet and greet with the client and their pet(s). This helps me get to know the pet's personality, any specific needs or quirks they have, and allows the client to feel comfortable with me. Leash Walks: During the scheduled walk, I ensure that the dog gets the exercise they need. Walks are tailored to the dog's energy level and physical abilities. I always carry waste disposal bags to clean up after the dog. Fresh Water and Treats: I make sure to provide fresh water for the dog after the walk, and if allowed by the client, I may offer treats as a reward for good behavior. Safety and Supervision: While in my care, safety is paramount. I keep a watchful eye on the dog, ensuring they stay on a leash and away from potential hazards. For Pet Sitting Services in the client's home: Daily Visits: I visit the client's home as many times as required to ensure the pet's comfort. This typically includes feeding, changing water, and providing companionship. Medication Administration: If the pet requires medication, I follow the client's instructions precisely, ensuring the pet receives their medication on time. Playtime and Exercise: I engage in playtime activities with the pet to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could involve playing fetch, puzzle toys, or just some cuddle time. Regular Updates: I keep the client informed by sending updates and photos of their pet, giving them peace of mind while they're away.

About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I have open availability for pet care, especially when approached with a job further in advance. That being said, I do keep pretty regular hours and have plenty of time so I love my last minute clients too! I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.

“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”

About: (Brand new to Rover) I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, and dogs have always felt like big, goofy, furry toddlers — full of personality, joy, and chaos in the best way. I currently live in an anti‑pet apartment (tragic, I know), so I’m looking to fill that dog‑shaped hole in my heart by being the next best thing: your pup’s reliable walking and hiking buddy. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves long walks, trails, and exploring. Whether your dog is a tiny ball of energy or a large, gentle giant, I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, seniors, and puppies. I’m patient, confident, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks. What I offer: Long walks or trail hikes for high‑energy pups Picture updates so you can see their adventures Flexible scheduling — I’m a teacher on summer break, so I’m wide open With a friendly, upbeat personality, your dog will warm up quickly If your dog needs exercise, company, or just someone who treats them like the lovable toddler they are, I’d love to help. Let’s get your pup out exploring and having fun. As a teacher on summer break, pet care fits naturally and easily into my weekly routine. I’m active every day, walking, hiking, or spending time outdoors, so adding a dog to that rhythm feels like the most joyful part of my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility, which means I can plan walks around your dog’s needs rather than squeezing them into a tight window. (ADDITION: Until May 30th, I can only walk dogs on weekends because of my teaching and coaching schedule) Since I live in an anti‑pet apartment, all of my care happens in your home or out on the trail. I treat every dog like the big furry toddler they are, with patience, structure, and a lot of enthusiasm. Here’s what my care typically looks like: Consistent routines: I follow your feeding, walking, and potty schedule exactly as you prefer. Active outings: long walks or trail hikes for dogs who need to burn energy, or gentle strolls for seniors. Safety first: secure leashing, checking gear, watching for heat, and keeping a close eye on body language. Clean and respectful home care: wiping paws, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Photo updates: I send regular pictures so you can see your pup’s adventures and feel connected while you’re away. Calm companionship: whether your dog is tiny and energetic or large and mellow, I match their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m free all summer, I can offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extra attention, especially for dogs who thrive on activity and routine.

“Tori was fantastic! Our dog and cat LOVED her! She was reliable and paid attention to our fur babies. We will definitely be booking her in the future. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!!”

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! I have never gone longer than a few months without a dog in my life and don't think I ever will. I am a 6th grade teacher during the school year, but am looking to help families who do not have the luxury of summers off to create a fun, healthy, and loving experience for their pets during the work day. I have experience taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages: from puppies (8 weeks) to elderly (16 years). I have had Chihuahuas, terriers, English Bulldogs, labs, Bull Mastiffs, Shih Tzus, Dobermans and am currently a proud owner of a 3 year old Olde English Bulldog named Luna. I can promise you that with me, your pets will have one more person that loves and cares for them as much as you do! I am currently off for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am available early mornings through early evenings for drop-ins or walks. I always like to do a meet and greet with every client and their pup(s) to ensure all needs will be met for the dog and owner. As I am coming to your home, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and feel safe entrusting me with the care of your pet!

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m comfortable with boarding, walks, drop-ins, feeding, meds, playtime, and senior pups who need a little extra love. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can fit in visits when your pets need them. I can usually accommodate same-day or last-minute drop-ins, and I’ll make sure your pets get attention on your timetable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment for every visit. I follow all your instructions carefully, from feeding to exercise routines, and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. You can trust me to keep their space safe, maintain their routine, and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have 10 acres for the dogs to walk and play. Caring for dogs fits easily into my daily routine. We love being at home and to have a dog enjoy the outdoor space makes it even better! I treat pets I’m taking care of like they are my own. I keep a close on them and monitor them to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I want them to feel at home.

About: *I’m willing to pick up/drop off or meet to assist with getting your pets to my home if it is more convenient for your schedule** I've been taking care of dogs since the age of 12, I'm now 29. It started with local dogs and cats in the neighborhood I grew up in to now doing it as a side gig and it has been the best decision I have ever made. I love the different types of dogs I get and all of the different personalities. I have yet to host a dog that didn't enjoy the walks, playing and cuddling provided at my house. I have experience with bathing, boarding, walking, feeding and shuttling to the vet. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and can ensure you that they will have so much fun and love provided at my house, that they will never know you were gone :) Currently I have availability to board during the week, Monday through Friday and on the weekend 24/7 - as I am home & can accommodate any potty break schedule. . I accept early morning/late night drop offs and pick ups and am willing to meet you or pick up your pet if it is more convenient for your schedule. I have plenty of room run as well as two very spoiled and friendly dogs of my own. Both of my personal dogs can be crated if needed, as I introduce new animals slowly to mine to ensure they start off on good terms. All animals that come to my home will get plenty of love and making sure they are comfortable is my top priority.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and done training and dog walking in a shelter as a volunteer. I love getting dogs outside and letting them run around. I have been hiking with my dog for his entire life and was able to train him on the leash and off the leash to allow us to have the freedom to run free and the ability to get him on the leash and behave around other dogs and people on the road and on the trails. I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years and love spending time with all the pups. I can’t wait to take care of animals and give them the necessary play time and exercise when you’re not there to. I keep my schedule updated to where I am unavailable when I work to allow for your pets to get the utmost care. However I am willing to work with you around my work schedule! I have experience with reactive dogs and I will keep your dog safe and on a leash unless in a fenced in yard. I prefer staying at the dogs home to help them stay comfortable
