“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Last year I adopted my own cat named Butters. I’m currently in school at Howard U, getting my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology. I’m currently working part time, but I still have plenty of time on my hands. I’m mostly available Monday-Wednesday, with some exceptions depending on timing. My cat Butters gets fed 2-3 meals a day depending how hungry he is. 2 meals his urinary tract food and 1 meal Fancy Feast with extra water. On days I work I usually play with him (he likes toys with strings) after work or before in the morning.
“Ashley was great with Dakota, they got along well and was very attentive with her during their walk times. She was professional, timely, & communication was very good. Will work with her again.”

“Dasia was awesome. This was our second experience using a Rover provider. Dasia was timely, communicative when needed, sent pics at each walk, and was very caring to our pet. She accommodated a change in our travel schedule and modified the service request as needed. I will be using Dasia again and would recommend her services.”

“Rita is doing a great job with Bella. She is very punctual and she keeps me informed about her time with Bella. I can tell that Rita genuinely likes dogs . We are very happy we found Rita and we look forward to working with her for as long as possible.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets almost my whole life! I’ve had my current 11 y.o cat, Prince, since he was eight weeks old. Despite having a dog allergy as a kid (which I thankfully grew out of) you could always find me taking care of the family dog. I will take great care of your furry bestie and give you peace of mind while you are away! I work from home 2-3 days a week so I will be available to take care of your pets needs. Other than working I am mostly a homebody! My cat is friendly towards other animals, but I am able to separate pets as needed in my home with a gate. I will also travel to your home and find the nearest park for your pups to play.

About: Dogs love me. Every time I’m around one, it walks up & snuggles me. I am a cat owner. I have two beautiful 3year old cats. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I prefer to dog walk in the mornings but I am available everyday of the week at anytime. Cats are welcomed to my home daily. I will care for your dog by catering to its needs & sticking to what makes each dog comfortable. I will abide by its usual routine.
“Booked Eimy at the last minute and she was like an angel to the rescue. She took great care of my pooch, was keen to listen to my instructions and just dependable. I'm just so grateful for this technology and service. Will book again and again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 11 years old, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs and understanding different personalities and needs. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible since my classes are online and I work part-time. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, including walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m attentive to behavior and health, and I will always communicate with you and act quickly if any concerns arise.

About: I absolutely love all animals and care for them like they’re my own. I have my own dog named Tucci, so I understand the responsibility, attention, and care pets need every day. I’m responsible, dependable, active, and very flexible with schedules. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care naturally fits into my weekly routine because I care for my own dog every day. I’m already used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I do have a part time job , i go in maybe 1-2 times a week with 5-6 hour shifts. I provide flexible, attentive pet care based on each pet’s normal routine and comfort level. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and relaxed while keeping their usual habits consistent. I’m comfortable allowing pets on furniture and I can also co-sleep with them if that’s part of their routine. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged, including regular walks and trips to the dog park when appropriate. If a pet is crate-trained or needs crate time, I can easily follow that schedule as well. I’m very open to following any specific feeding, medication, or exercise schedules provided by the owner, and I adjust my routine to match what each pet is used to so they feel as comfortable as possible while in my care.
“Alysia is seriously the best dog walker I’ve ever used on Rover! She is so accommodating with scheduling and cares for my dog as if he is her own! She was attentive and punctual; my dog was always so happy to see a friendly face! 10/10 recommend Alysia and her pet services 😊”

“Bria has been awesome! Extremely professional and has great communication. She worked very well with my hard headed dog and displayed patience when dealing with him. I definitely recommend her!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels, including my own Husky/Lab mix. Through caring for my dog and helping friends and family with their pets, I have gained experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing companionship.

I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends.

I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Camilla has been such a wonderful pleasure to work with. I had no doubt my fur baby was in good hands from the first day they walked together & I saw the pictures. Camilla also came to the rescue when a family member was locked out and I contacted her panicking to see if she would please help. On her OFF day!!! I know that I won’t want to work with anyone but her. She’s attentive and took care of my dog like she was her own. Thank you again, Camilla! You’ve been a God send! 🤍”

“Jessica and Damon were wonderful with our two dogs! They stepped in on short notice, which we truly appreciated, and took great care of them. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
