“Everything with Ri worked smoothly . She came a few days in advance so we could meet each other and she could meet the dogs. She was friendly and clearly comfortable with dogs. She walked the dogs without a hitch and left the key in the agreed upon location.”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs all of my life. From taking care of their basic needs to cuddling and playing, I am there! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m very available, only working on some side projects this summer! I can fit almost anything into my schedule! No matter what your pets needs are I can accommodate! I am very respectful of anyone’s home and will keep all behaviors limited to what is comfortable with the owners. I am very cleanly and will clean up after pets if needed.
“Luna immediately took to James as bread does to butter. She is eager to go out with him every cold morning and waits by the door watching for him. James is extremely punctual, emails if going to be even a bit late, is enthusiastic about walking dogs and really "gets" Luna. Communication between James and Luna and James and Luna's mom is great. I have absolutely no complaints and no hesitation in recommending James to walk and care for your animal family. RSS”

“Teffni is the best! She is reliable and responsible and flexible with your needs/dog’s needs. Our dog loved her and had a great time on his walks. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Trevor was amazing! Took a last minute scheduled walk and made sure that my shy/hesitant dog was comfortable. He really went above and beyond and it was soooo appreciated. He was quick and through in his communications.”

“Excellent walker. We could not be happier! Communicative and takes great photos. Always on time. Our dog can be a little shy with strangers and she was very patient with him. Would book again.”

About: I have significant experience caring for animals, including both dogs and cats. I have previously worked as a pet sitter, where I was responsible for ensuring pets were properly fed, exercised, and well cared for. I also had my own dog for about seven years before he passed away, which gave me long-term, hands-on experience in responsible pet ownership. I genuinely love animals and always make it a priority to ensure that the dogs and cats in my care are healthy, safe, and emotionally supported. I typically have open availability after work on Fridays and throughout the weekends. In addition to my strong caregiving abilities, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and be present when they want to play or go outside. During the week, I work in the mornings; however, I am available Monday through Friday in the afternoons. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day. My older daughter is home during the mornings and will be assisting me with caring for the dogs or cats during that time to ensure they continue receiving attentive and reliable care. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and play. Whenever they would like to go outside, I will gladly take them for a walk, to a nearby park, or allow them to play in the backyard or front yard under my supervision. They are also welcome to relax and move freely around the house. I will always be attentive to their needs and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“We've had to be away from home for long days for several weeks, and Anibal has been checking in on our dog twice/day almost every day. He is absolutely reliable, communicates extremely well & has been a real lifesaver during these times we've needed someone to keep an eye on our sweet dog.”

“Melika is very communicative and does a fantastic job. I’m very pleased with the work she does and the loving way she cares for Loki. I hope I get to use her services frequently.”


About: I’ve had pets for my whole life, whether it be cats or dogs. I’ve babysat for a family that has two kids and a big dog multiple times and i have experience walking my own dog of course! I am on winter break from college at JMU (go dukes!) and I don’t have a winter break job so my schedule is super flexible right now. I’m available most days! I will spend the whole time caring for and paying attention to your pet like they’re my own! This goes for pet sitting at your house or just taking them on walks.
“Amelia is the best!!! She’s been so very patient with our dog, Leah, who has major anxiety issues. She’s always prompt and timely in her communication. Leah just adores her and that makes us very happy.”

We’ve had such a great experience with Oyindamola! She walked our dog today and was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which we really appreciated. She’s been reliable, kind, and easy to work with, and our dog seems very happy after each walk. We’re grateful to have found her and are looking forward to booking many more walks in the future!

Marissa was super attentive and responsive to Valerie's needs (springer spaniel puppy). My husband commented that she was confident and in charge, but super nice and connected with our pup right away. Marissa was very responsive -- I had to book sort of last minute, and she responded right away and took on three walks. She was easy to converse with/contact through the Rover platform.
