Dog Walking Johnson Village

“Basil was great with our 2 (high energy) dogs. She was punctual, gave them a good walk and kept me informed about the details. We really appreciate her help!”

“Julie is a very kind and reliable dog sitter! She walked my dog Ivy every week this summer and boarded Ivy in her home for a weekend. She is very responsive to messages and provides detailed Rover card walk recaps. Ivy seems to love her time with her. Thank you, Julie!”

About: I grew up with pets and have been dog and cat sitting since middle school for friends, family, and neighbors. In high school, my mom started doing Rover, and I loved coming home after school to a new friendly face every day! I’m happy to go on walks, cuddle on the couch, play in the yard, or simply hang out—whatever makes your pet happiest. I work full-time, but I’m happy to carve out time before work, during my lunch break, or promptly at 5 p.m. to give your pet some love and attention. If you work long hours, need a midday break for your pet, or need help on evenings or weekends, I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule! I’m happy to follow any guidelines you provide to keep your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. I can accommodate walks of any length, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and pay close attention to your pet’s individual needs, quirks, and preferences. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

“Jordana was amazing! We have a 6 month old puppy and she took amazing care of her and went out of her way to help us feel confident leaving our puppy home. She is extremely accommodating and you can tell she adores animals. We will definitely be reaching out to her again when we have pet care needs!”

“Grace has been a God send. I am new to Rover, but after meeting her my anxiety lessened & then after the immediate updates & pictures I know Lula is in good hands. There aren't enough words to describe Grace & how much she is helping me. I highly recommend her!”

“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”

“Very highly recommended if you need a sitter/walker near the UVA campus! I needed someone to watch/walk my dog while I was at an event/graduation at UVA. Maura was prompt in her responses and very amenable to any questions and instructions for my dog. She even came a little early! Maura was a wonderful and caring sitter/walker for my scruffy dog, who can be a little wary of strangers. He seemed to have had a great time with Maura, however.”

“I had surgery & needed an evening dogwalker for my 75 lb hound. Tracy agreed to the 2 weeks of walks & weekend afternoon extra walks. She’s been fantastic! I highly recommend her. She’s on time and great with my dog who is an enthusiastic fellow.”

Barbara B.

“Camille is awesome! She took our pup for long walks, gave her water and treats, and did everything you could need for an active dog home for a long stretch of time. She's also very responsive/communicative, and was overall just great to work with. She'll be our first call going forward!”

Henry F.

“Lissette is the best, most reliable, most considerate, most thorough sitter of all time. I’d made a mistake in the booking and she caught it and helped me sort it out. I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else.”

Keith D.

“Very responsible and on time. Great experience with her!”

Jill C.

“Thank you so much for the last minute request! Merry Christmas!”

Ashley C.

“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”

Peg B.

“Caroline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Sulley!! She communicated well and kept me up to date on him. Will ask her to care for him again :)”

Alyssa F.

“Christian was an amazing caregiver for our pup while we were gone. She's extremely thoughtful and thorough about getting to know each animal before beginning her time with them, and as a rescue owner I really appreciated that! Will definitely be using her again.”

Caroline B.

“Amy is the best! She is amazing with my dog who isn’t the easiest. She found a loose dog during one of her check-ins with us and even helped that dog/made sure it got to the right people and then spent extra time with mine. 💕”

Micaela B.

“My dog is such a happy pup on days Scott comes to visit. He gets ample walk a fetch time. Scott is kind and attentive and always give Rooster ample fun time. I’d recommend him to anyone”

About: I grew up in a house full of dogs in Nigeria, more than 20 over the years, and helped raise and train them from the day they were born. I taught basic commands, cared for newborn puppies, and handled everything from playful escape artists to protective mamas. Dogs have been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. Now I’m a fourth-year at UVA, and since my apartment doesn’t allow pets, Rover lets me keep dogs in my life while giving owners reliable, attentive care. I treat every dog like one of my own because for most of my life, they were. I’m a fourth-year student at UVA with a flexible schedule. I’m available most early evenings, and weekends, and I keep my calendar updated weekly. If there’s a time you need but it’s blocked out, feel free to request anyway; I’m often able to accommodate. I live near Grounds, so I can easily do midday drop-ins and walks. Your home, your rules! I follow your existing routines and safety instructions exactly, keep doors and gates secured, always leash up for walks, and send photo updates every visit so you have total peace of mind

“Melissa has been absolutely wonderful! She is 100% dependable and very responsive. She has been caring for my two young blue heelers on a weekly basis for several months and I don’t have one complaint. She’s able to manage their over-the-energy and naughtiness without a hitch. I’m so glad and relieved that I found her!”
