Lei was great with Korra! She was very good with her and took her for a nice long walk, which she needs as an Aussie! Korra had a good time and is nice and tired now. Thanks!

It’s my first time with rover and Alison was super attentive! My building is incredibly hard to get to and get into, also my pup isn’t easy to deal with when putting on shoes for her walk but she did absolutely excellent with my Maple. Maple looks incredibly happy and absolutely loved Alison! Looking forward working with her more in the future! 100/10 would recommend!

Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!

About: Ever since I was little, I have been known to care extra for the animals and creatures around me. I can remember helping out with family friends' dog, cat, or horse feedings fairly early on in my life. I have petsitting experience as well as internship experience at Ark Veterinarian Hospital, where I completed a 6-week full-time internship shadowing Dr. Kate Connell 2 years ago. I was able to work with some amazing technicians and doctors. I was even able to observe a few orthopedic surgeries. Now I can say that I have worked with all sorts of dogs and cats in varying medical and behavioral states. I feel incredibly grateful for the experience. I have pets of my own; my family dog Cabot (a Welsh Springer Spaniel) lives with my dad in Middlebury, and my cat Somtso (a beautiful longhair rescue) lives with me between Pennsylvania and Virginia. My family and I have cared for Cabot for over 7 years now, and sweet Somtso for over 5. I am a full-time college student going into my senior academic year at Dickinson College and am curious about fun ways I could save some money this summer. Let me know if you have any specific questions! Summers are the best time for bookings. Between semesters I have full time flexibility to accommodate a variety of bookings and locations. Working for rover allows me to organize my hours in a way that is best for me and my clients. I live with roommates on campus, and alternate between living spaces when I am home, so having pets stay with me is not something I am able to accommodate at this time. I would love to be able to care for your pets elsewhere. I can do anything from long walks or games of fetch to tire an excited pup out, light training and feedings, and any help with medication or supplement schedules.

About: Hi! I’m Izabella, I’m 24 years old, currently pursuing my master’s degree, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I currently have two cats of my own and also help care for my dad’s two dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I know how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets, and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, communicative, and attentive to every pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with walks, feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic care, and making pets feel calm and secure in their routine. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will care for your pets the same way I care for my own. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos throughout visits so you can feel comfortable. My schedule is currently very flexible! I’m available after 5 PM on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, and I have open availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I do my best to accommodate different schedules whenever possible, so feel free to reach out with specific timing needs and I’ll try my best to make it work I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, exercise/playtime, and lots of attention and reassurance. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or appetite so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I understand that trust is extremely important when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home, so I pride myself on being respectful, responsible, communicative, and dependable. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Because I have experience with both cats and dogs, including pets who are anxious or not feeling well, I know the importance of patience, supervision, and creating a calm environment where pets feel safe and secure.

I will treat each and every dog with lots of love and attention as if they were my own !! I am very social so I will definitely love to play endlessly with any dog I take care of. I am very excited and eager to start this new adventure in my life ! I am currently working three times a week. This gives me the liberty to provide any dog or cat services on my days off !! What I provide is a safe environment that is appropriate to each pet. I would care for each pet the same way as if they were my own. With the up-most love and care.

About: I currently have an open schedule and can come walk and play with your dogs and cats as early or as late as you would like! I am flexible. I've just moved to Vienna, live alone, and have an open schedule. I am flexible and reliable, and would love to play with and care for your dogs and cats! I took care of up to 5 cats and 1 human, simultaneously, for 14 years. They received a lot of my love and attention. We spent lots of time in nature trails, our backyard, and on the couch. And now I'm happy to extend that to your dogs!

About: I have owned big ,small and any where in between kind dogs all my life. I Have never went longer then a few months at a time with out having some type of fur baby in my life, whether it be my personal, family or friends pet that I immediately adopted as my own. I currently own two medium sized beagles who love everyone, big and small dogs alike and they love to play as they are still young and ready to destroy any toy they get a hold of. I have watched cats, dogs, and small animals be it reptiles or small fluffy animals and I cant forget to mention birds. My favorite of course is Dogs and I would love the opportunity to watch your dog and have them play with my pups so they all can have fun and tire each other out. My beagle boys love to go on walks and play tug- a -war. I work split shifts during the day so my personal dogs and the dogs I care for have me for mid day walks and check ins and are let out every 4-6 hours during the work week, I strive to keep a safe environment that the dog feels welcomed and cared for. I keep the house the way I left it or in better shape and make sure things are locked up and secured when I depart. I make a point to keep in touch with my clients, send photos and truly enjoy my time with your pet.

Lei has been absolutely wonderful with Freya these past few months! Freya is always so happy when she stops by. She is so attentive and caring with her, wiping her paws and making sure it’s not too hot for her to be outside long. She went above and beyond staying past the appointment time when Freya was stubborn and wouldn’t poop right away. Thank you so much for everything!
