“Sun has been great with our dog (Max), a 95-pound Staffy-Boxer mix, who can be excitable and overly rambunctious at times. Sun is very responsive to messages through Rover and has been very accommodating when unexpected circumstances crop up (e.g., ensuring Max has dinner if we have to stay late at the office). She’s also surprised Max with the occasional treat (like puppy pops on warm days), but she always checks in ahead of time to make sure he’s allowed to have them.”

“Jolene and Squiggy give two paws up! Erin did an amazing job helping us with the pups as we did engagement photos. (Not the usual dog walk!) She helped them look at the camera and squeezed the squeaky ball/called their names. Erin is so helpful and easy going and we loved having her help with this special event! Our dogs love her.”

About: I've been surrounded by wagging tails and gentle purrs my whole life! Growing up, I helped raise four amazing family pets—two lovable dogs and two sweet, quirky cats. From long walks and playtime in the yard to cozy snuggles and administering meds when needed, I’ve been hands-on with all the ups and downs of pet care. I know how to read their moods, respect their personalities, and make them feel safe and loved. I work a very dynamic schedule I am in charge of setting, perfect for giving your pets the time and attention they deserve! Whether it's a midday walk, or morning cuddles. I’m available and ready to fit into your schedule. I live in an apartment with lots of greenery and a local dog park. This makes for convenient 15-30 minute walks. Very convenient as well for residents at Riverside or Veridium.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My family had dogs while I was growing up, and I’ve had cats of my own for over 20 years. I also regularly dog and cat sit for friends, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and all the funny little quirks that come with our pets. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for them while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom and working artist, I have a very flexible daytime schedule and can easily accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I generally reserve evenings for family time, but I’m happy to be flexible when needed and will do my best to work with your pet’s regular routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any household rules. During drop-ins, I make sure doors and gates are secure and that pets are safe and settled before I leave. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries, especially with cats who may need a little extra time and patience to feel comfortable with someone new. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Cannot wait to use her services again — she was truly a godsend.”

About: Growing up in a military family, I’ve always had dogs around, but my main companions were a black lab and a German shepherd. I really enjoy taking them for walks, playing with them, and just relaxing and enjoying company. I’ve been bartending and serving in the hospitality industry for the past nine years, but I’m currently taking a break to study. Mostly free during the week and weekends with enough time notice I will treat every dog like they were my own growing up. Dogs are like companions, and they should be cherished and remain man’s and women’s best friend

About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own, as well as cared for friends’ pets. I also worked as a dog walker (prior to the existence of Rover) and at a doggy daycare. I absolutely love dogs and would like to give your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and have flexibility with my schedule, so I can do drop-in visits and/or dog walking throughout the day, every day of the week. I am very flexible, depending on the needs and requests for each pet. If there are any allergies, behavioral tendencies that I should be aware of, please let me know.

About: Distinguished by my knack for tailoring care to pets of all ages, I excel in both nurturing playful puppies and providing gentle support for senior companions. With a blend of expertise and passion, I create a haven where pets thrive, ensuring peace of mind for their owners. I work from home so I currently have all the time needed for your pups attention while you're away. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch in the yard, or teaching your pup sports on the big screen lol, they will be loved and well cared for as if they are apart of the family ❤️ I have a fenced in yard with plenty of running room, if you prefer to keep your pup within the property. They will also have free roam around the house day/night unless parents would like them crated at certain times. I have no issue following care instructions for your pup(s); i.e diet, medication, walks, etc.

About: Looking to walk dogs who are about 40 pounds or smaller or larger dogs that are fairly good walkers. I have a 30 pound mini Bernedoodle, Paisley, who is my best girl! I can’t wait to meet yours! I am an attorney for a non profit out of DC and work primarily remotely with a somewhat flexible schedule. I can’t do weekly set walks but I am on top of my schedule and often can make it work! I will primarily stick to drop in visits and walks. That said, my dog is very sweet, gentle, and behaved. If you are dog is similar I could certainly introduce the two and have your dog over!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them is something I truly love. I currently have a cat at home in Old Town and have also helped care for family pets over the years, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of personalities and needs. I’m happy to help with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets. My dog Max recently passed at 18 years old and required around the clock care, including medications, special feeding routines, and mobility support. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to handle more complex care with compassion. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else, because I feel the same way. I treat every animal as if they were my own and make communication a priority. You can expect thoughtful updates and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I work remotely in Old Town and have flexibility with my job that would allow me to visit your pets in the morning, afternoon and evening. I don’t watch animals in my own other than my own but am happy to walk dogs or play inside as well as letting your cat out if that is something in their normal routine.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, especially cats and dogs. I grew up in a home with multiple pets, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve owned both cats and dogs since childhood and have experience with all kinds of personalities, from playful and energetic to shy, senior, and everything in between. I’ve also fostered several cats, helping them transition from rescue situations into safe, loving temporary homes until they were adopted. Fostering gave me hands-on experience with anxious or timid cats, slow introductions, building trust, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment, litter box care, medication reminders (non-injection), and understanding feline body language. In addition to personal ownership and fostering, I’ve completed many pet-sitting and house-sitting jobs, including several where I assisted my girlfriend in caring for multiple cats and dogs at once. I’ve worked with high-energy dogs who need long walks, older dogs who need a slower pace, and cats who simply want playtime, quiet company, or gentle attention. I also care for a group of pets on a recurring schedule, building trust and long-term relationships with their families. No matter the pet’s personality, energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I adapt to their needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing patience, gentleness, safety, and clear communication. And as a professional photographer, you can expect great photo updates of your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved every moment you’re gone. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I work as a musician and professional photographer, so my hours aren’t tied to a traditional 9–5 job. Most of my work is project-based, meaning I can easily adjust my day around pet-sitting visits, walks, and house-sitting needs. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to give pets attention throughout the day, whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, feeding schedules, or long play sessions. I’m also home often when editing photos or working on music, which makes me a great fit for pets who enjoy company and a calm, steady presence. My routine is perfect for dogs and cats who need frequent interaction, scheduled feeding times, or just someone who can be there reliably throughout the day. Your pet’s needs can easily fit into my daily flow, and I’m always happy to adjust my schedule around what works best for them. When caring for pets, either in their home or just walking them, my top priorities are always safety, consistency, and trust. In Your Home: I follow your routines exactly to keep your pets feeling secure and comfortable. That includes their feeding schedule, walk times, preferred toys, and any house rules you’ve established. I make sure doors are locked, gates are secured, and that your pet never has access to anything unsafe or stressful. I always respect your home as if it were my own, which is clean, organized, and exactly how you left it. Keeping Pets Safe: I take extra care with leashes, harnesses, and doorways to prevent escapes or scares. I also pay attention to your pet’s body language and comfort level, especially with shy or anxious pets. I never introduce pets to new animals, environments, or people unless you request it. Clean, Calm Environment: I maintain a calm, relaxed atmosphere when I’m with your pets, especially important for cats, seniors, and nervous animals. I keep litter boxes clean, water bowls fresh, and make sure your pet has their favorite spots available and stress-free. For dogs, I make walks safe and enjoyable, always avoiding risky areas or unfamiliar dogs. Communication & Transparency: I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. As a professional photographer, you’ll get high-quality pictures that give you peace of mind and a clear look at your pet’s day. Respect for Your Home: If I’m house-sitting, I keep everything tidy, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your home is secure. Lights, blinds, doors, and alarms are all handled according to your preferences. No matter the situation, I treat every pet with gentleness and patience and treat every home with the utmost respect. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence.

Laci was wonderful with my dog Kayson and took such great care of him. I appreciate her so much as she was communicative, understanding, kind, and with my husband being away for a week, she was so helpful in walking him as I didn’t come home till later in the evening. I recommend her if you want to have someone not only walk your dog but care for them just as much as you do. ☺️ 10/10! Kayson and I are grateful 🐾

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Huntington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
