Dog Walking Little High

“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.

“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.”

“Amy was a fantastic friend to our 10-year old Husky while we were out of town. She frequently went “above and beyond” to assure that She was calm and settled. Our reports were detailed and thoughtful. Additional, she was extremely responsive to us and our dog. We are grateful and recommend her as a thoughtful, caring pet partner!”

About: Hello! I’m a graduate student who dearly misses my family pups and would love a chance to share my love with your fur babies 😊 I’m extremely comfortable handling reactive dogs (large or small) and can tailor walks to whatever your pup needs (structured with rewarded commands, loose sniff walks, easy jogs to release energy, etc). I know how to administer medication via mouth/eye/ear and am adept at reading body language to match your pet’s energy and comfort level. I have a relatively flexible schedule but am limited by certain weekly required lectures/events. I am typically free before 8am and after 12pm on weekdays (only after 5pm on Thursdays though) and all day weekends. Sometimes I’m free the entire day, it depends! If you have any questions or want to know if I’m available at a specific time, please just reach out to me and I’ll try my best to work with you. I know it can be scary to trust a technical stranger, but rest assured that I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. I’m extremely aware of potential safety concerns (toxic food, dart risk with open doors, mobility limitations for small pets, etc) and hold myself to the highest standards both as a professional and animal lover.

“Alice was really accommodating by helping me out at the last minute. She was prompt in her responses through the app and send good communications and my dog. Great service! Thank you!”

“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: My name is Kailyn, and I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Having grown up with 3 dogs and 2 cats throughout my childhood, I have been grown up to be a huge animal lover. As an adult, I am lucky to be a cat mama to two beautiful boys, Tito and Cosmo, that I found as strays and have raised from ~6 weeks old. I have 7 years of experience in dog and cat care outside of my home, including puppy, kitten, and senior care, as well as pets that are a bit more anxious (or spicy!) than others. I am convinced that there isn't an animal on this planet that I can't win over. I am well-versed in understanding cues and body language and take pride in my ability to earn an animal's trust through slow and thoughful first interactions. My sister, Avantae, and I also co-own a pet care business and have over 15 years of combined petsitting experience, along with over 10 years of veterinary experience that Avantae brings to the table. Booking with me will always guarantee that you have a relaxing travel experience knowing that your fur baby is in loving and caring hands. Who knows, your pet might have a new best friend by the time you return! Pet care is currently my full time job outside of Rover as well. I have full flexibility to accommodate your pets daytime needs like midday potty breaks, medication administration, etc., as well as plenty of time together in the mornings and evenings. My weekends are typically very relaxed, giving your pet and I extra time to spend getting to know each other. I keep your pet's day-to-day life as normal as possible while you are away. I will collect a detailed schedule prior to booking to make sure we are adhering to what your pet knows best.

About: Growing up, I walked and dog-sat for my friends and family. I also provided dog-walking services to residents in my neighborhood, occasionally helping out with training exercises. I'm a full-time student with availability in the evenings and on the weekends. I also occasionally have time in the middle of the day, depending on the booking time and my work schedule. I'm very conscientious, and I abide by the concept of leaving a place cleaner than how I found it. This means establishing clear locational boundaries and ensuring that the pet's safety takes priority, but also making sure that your home stays clean.

“Catherine has been walking our puppy 3 times a week and we are so happy we found her! She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She provides detailed information about every walk. She also works on training which I consider above and beyond. I highly recommend working with her!!”

Kelly & Matt K.

“Yana is super! My pups stayed with their grammy while I was on vacation but she can't walk them. Yana worked around her own vacation so they could get their walks! She was very good with them and even sent pictures during the walks!”

Summer M.

“Great communication and timeliness. My dog had a blast!”

“Rachel was timely and courteous in replying to my booking questions. She sent a great walk picture each time she walked Evie while we were gone. Thanks again!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Paige and I am currently a student at UVA and part of the Virginia Polo Club where I help take care of our ponies and play polo! At home, I help care for a Pitbull Mix and a large Australian Shepherd, both weighing around 75 lbs. I am confident in my ability to understand their body language and handle them effectively. Growing up with dogs, barn cats, and horses has equipped me with a diverse skill set when it comes to animal care! I have experience administering medicine, cleaning up accidents, managing reactive dogs, and caring for animals of all ages. For years, I have been doing drop-in visits and overnight stays caring for dogs, cats, and even goats! I’m organized, reliable, responsible, and adaptable to your pet’s specific needs. For the Fall 2026 semester, I am consistently busy Tuesdays and Thursdays midday and for a few hours in the evenings, but am available in the mornings and every other day of the week. If you have any concerns, questions, or clarifications, please feel free to reach out -- I’m dedicated to ensuring the best care for you and your pet(s)! I’m currently a student at UVA but have a flexible schedule during the week and would love to help take care of your animals! I can do overnight stays every day of the week. Unfortunately, I can’t board any pets where I’m living but am more than happy to come to you! Back at home we have 2 medium-large dogs that weigh in at around 75 lbs that I can walk, crate, and otherwise manage. I’m able to notice changes in body language and what they mean. I also have experience feeding and giving medication to livestock and am comfortable dealing with larger animals.

About: I have cared for dogs for a little over six years and have a lot of experience with them. I am a dog lover and know exactly how to keep them happy and healthy while their families are away! I am currently working part-time, so I will have more than enough time to care for your home, pups, and anything else you may need! I care for pets by ensuring that they are always given food and water, going outside frequently, and having someone to play with hem and pet them.

About: New to Rover, but experienced 5-star house sitters on TrustedHousesitters. My husband Mikhail and I are a married couple based in Charlottesville. I teach high school math online, and Mikhail holds a PhD in Materials Science. We have flexible schedules and spend much of our time at home, which means pets in our care receive plenty of companionship, attention, and consistency throughout the day. Over the past year, we have completed successful house sits in multiple cities, caring for both cats and dogs while homeowners traveled. We have received wonderful reviews for our reliability, communication, and the care we provide to pets and homes. We are happy to share screenshots of our TrustedHousesitters reviews and references. One thing previous hosts often mention is how much attention we give their pets. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a cat who wants to sit on a lap all afternoon, a playful kitten who wants constant company, or a dog who loves walks and outdoor adventures, we adapt to their needs. We also understand that owners miss their pets while traveling. That’s why we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. We treat every home with the same care and respect we would want for our own, and our goal is simple: to make your time away completely worry-free. I teach high school math online and currently have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer. My husband, Mikhail, is currently focusing on pet sitting full-time. Because of this, there is almost always someone at home to provide companionship, attention, walks, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. We are able to easily accommodate feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication schedules, and other pet-specific needs. Pets in our care are rarely left alone for extended periods of time. For house sitting, we believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own home and maintain their normal routine. We take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and personality so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. We follow feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. We spend a lot of time at home, so pets receive plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We also understand how important communication is while you’re away. We provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing and enjoy your trip with peace of mind. In addition to caring for pets, we treat every home with respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and well maintained while its owners are away.

About: Hi! I’m Ovi. I’ve been caring for animals for over 18 years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Animals have always held a very special place in my heart, and one day, my partner and I hope to create an animal sanctuary of our own. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs. When I’m not caring for animals, I love horseback riding, herbalism, movement, watching Marvel or Studio Ghibli movies, and spending time in nature. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members 🤍 Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. It really depends on the week as my schedule has flexibility built in, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs. Feel free to book or send a request with your preferred dates and we can go from there! Keeping your pet safe is my first priority. I consistently follow necessary protocol such as checking fence gates before letting your dog outside, locking doors, making sure I don’t step outside without a key, and doing a final check that things are in order before leaving your home. My preference is to leave your home in a better condition than when I found it.

About: I am a certified professional dog trainer with a degree in veterinary technology. I have been working with dogs for about 15 years now, including dog daycares, boarding facilities, in home dog sitting, and now a professional dog trainer. My training ranges from puppies to semi-aggressive dogs, and pretty much everything in between! All of this info meaning I’m comfortable with a large range of dogs and behaviors, and your dogs will be in good hands! IG partnershipdogs for more information about me! I currently do not have a full time job so my days will be tailored to the pets I care for and taking care of them, and your home. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own. They obviously receive basic care, but they will get lots of love and cuddles while you are away. Walks and enrichment activities are always provided if you request them!

“Ireland was available on short notice and great with our dogs. She was on time, loved-on the dogs, took pics of them, and let us know how things went when she was done.”

About: I am a longtime dog lover and have grown up with dogs my whole life. My family jokingly calls me the dog whisperer because I love dogs so much and have a special connection with them! I am a dog Mom who recently lost my fur baby, and would be happy to care for your furry friend and love them like my own. I understand how special and important people's dogs are to them. My dog who just passed was 14 with special medical needs and I am experienced in medication administration. I have lots of experience pet sitting for friends and family and can provide the care and love needed while you are away. I’m also happy to take your pup(s) out for walks or assist with anything for drop in visits. They are the special members of our families and deserve the best care! I work a typical M-F 9am-4pm work schedule and am very flexible on weekends and can provide overnights care. I’m happy to work with you on your scheduling needs! I discuss in detail any safety or environmental concerts with clients ahead of time to ensure top safety and care. I have a fenced in yard and provide the proper amount of outdoor time for the dogs I am watching

“Ava was great! She took great care of our boys on their walks. Really appreciated her help!”
