“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: As a former senior dog owner, I understand the patience, love, and attention our furry companions deserve at every stage of life. I'm experienced caring for multiple dogs! I am comfortable with pets that require medications, mobility assistance, special diets, or extra attention. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy or a sweet senior, I'll provide personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of love so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. As a United States Air Force member, I work Monday–Friday with consistent hours, leaving evenings and weekends free to board, walk, and love your pets! I provide personalized care by following each pet's routine, ensuring exercise, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and plenty of love, attention, companionship, and comfort.
About: I love playing and spending time with animals. I am very respectful of the owners and responsible for what my job is. I’ve taken care of friends animals as well as family animals when they visit my home. Never a dull moment with pets, have cared for those with disabilities and very young puppies. I enjoy walking myself so long walks are something I love doing. I am also an outside person so playing with animals outside is good. I’m flexible with my schedule to a certain point. I have 3 of my own dogs and take care of my boyfriend’s two dogs, so plenty of experience in that sense. I own 3 of my dogs and manage to take care of my boyfriends two from time to time. So dogs are not a lot of work for me, my schedule is quite used to it. Always have them on a leash at all times to ensure they are within reach for me. I also will always have an eye on them to make sure they are not getting into anything they aren’t supposed to.
“Excellent Pet Care – Highly Recommend! Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my dog Prudence while I was traveling. Zero issues, and she communicated really well throughout my trip. Prudence was happy and healthy when I returned. Taylor is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. Would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a great pet sitter!”
About: I have cared for all different breeds and sizes of dogs over the years. I grew up with large and small dogs and have pet sit for coworkers with large dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. I recently lost my soul dog to hemangiosarcoma and want to make a difference for other dogs and provide the care they need. I just do not have it in my heart to remove her from my profile just yet. My girl had special needs such as leash/barrier reactivity, aggression, and a bite history prior to adopting her. I am comfortable working with dogs with those needs as well. She had taken several medications over the years and I am comfortable giving pet meds. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday, I am usually available on weekends. I would also be willing to board dogs during the days that I work as I don’t work too far from home. I have a fenced back yard to play in and an XXL crate or a dog bed for dogs who require those sleeping arrangements. I am a dogs on furniture household for those who like to sleep on the couch.
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. From fostering dogs in California to rescuing countless stray cats and dogs over the years, caring for animals is more than a job it's my passion. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it's what I genuinely enjoy doing. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have the time to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's a quick walk or an overnight stay, I'm committed to making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm stopping in for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication. I just recently graduated cosmetology school so I’m taking time off in the mean time to explore other areas. I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them
“I had to schedule a last minute dog walking and Marissa was very accommodating. She communicated well and provided me pictures of my dog. My dog really appeared to form a quick bond with her.”
About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kodak had a great time on his walks with Allie! I was out of town for the week and I needed someone to walk my husky while my husband was at work...Allie to the rescue! She made sure Kodak had a good walk, fresh water and his treat. I appreciated all the communication. I will definitely be reaching out again.”

“Melissa is practically part of the family at this point. Our golden girl absolutely loves her! We use her for weekly walks, drop in visits, and all out of town travel. She is always accommodating to our schedule and we are so lucky to have found her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Ridge
Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of Prince while I was out of town! She was reliable, attentive, and communicated very well throughout my trip. She was also flexible and handled some unexpected changes at my home with ease, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Prince was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Hannah and would happily book her again!
She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling. She was also friendly and approachable, which made coordinating everything a smooth and pleasant experience. We appreciated her availability and flexibility and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!
Toni was wonderful with Ana and Elsa! She was very patient and caring, especially with Ana, who can sometimes be a little stubborn during her walks. 😊 I really appreciated how attentive and understanding Toni was with both of them. I would definitely recommend her!
Our expectations were well exceeded by Mary’s excellent communication and her adherence to our agreed-upon schedules. We hadn’t left our pup for an extended period before with someone she didn’t know and was grateful to Mary for her care. We would definitely consider hiring Mary again if she was available! We are particularly pleased when our dog’s pet sitter treats her almost as well as we do with conversation and petting sessions .
Kay did such a wonderful job handling our old girl. She went above and beyond when Miss Peppers developed a troubled tummy the day before her first walk. Kay kept me well informed, cleaned up some mess (above and beyond!) and checked in to see if she was feeling better. Kay was also flexible about changing a walk day when our plans changed at the last minute.
Melissa is absolutely wonderful!!! My dog has only been left alone one time, so I was nervous leaving her for 9 days. But Melissa put all my worries to rest. I really enjoyed receiving the detailed reports and pictures twice a day. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was well cared for. I highly recommend Melissa! I will definitely hire her again for future vacations.
Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.

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 Lake Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.
