“Our pup Sonic made an instant friend in Mateo! He is great with dogs, keeps me updated throughout their walks, and sends the cutest pics. I would highly recommend Mateo to anyone looking for genuine, reliable care for their fur baby! Will absolutely book again!”


About: We are an active, young family and we are dog lovers! Our dogs are very friendly with tons of energy, so yours will benefit from plenty of exercise and attention. We have a fenced in yard but we also enjoy daily walks around the neighborhood. We understand the importance of making sure your pup is both happy and healthy. In our home, your dog can roam freely from room to room and spend time in a family environment where they will be treated just like one of our own! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me! We are happy to provide any additional photos and videos during visits to show that your dog is well cared for and happy! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and dependable care I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, fresh water, cleanup, and plenty of attention and affection.

About: Greeings! I am a full time pet sitter who also stays home full time as well. Your pup is welcome to make my home, their home, while you are away! I have a 3 level townhome with a fenced in yard, plus an upper deck area the pups love. I love having company so please feel free to reach out! I am home full time and have 7 day availability for your pup(s). I can also accept more than one dog, as long as they are from the same family. My dog passed some time ago so I do not have any pets at the moment. I have a 3 level townhome, dogs are free to roam the house or can be sectioned off for puppies. Dogs are allowed on any furniture you allow at home.
About: I used to have two small dogs for 7 years and have been trusted by neighbors and friends to watch their dogs as well. I have experience watching dogs both big and small! I have also had the opportunity to walk a medium sized dog three times a day multiple times and have boarded both a large and small dog simultaneously. I’m currently a student on summer break and have worked with dogs! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially if details are known ahead of time. I also have a car of my own that I do not mind having pets in. I will follow instructions clearly and make sure your pets get lots of love. I will not let them do anything they wouldn’t normally do, such as jumping on counters (cats) or furniture unless they are allowed otherwise.
About: I offer a professional pet care service dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized attention to your beloved pets. I offer a full range of services, including dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and overnight stays, all tailored to your pet's specific routine and needs. I provide peace of mind for pet parents by ensuring their furry friends are happy, safe, and well-cared for. As a remote employee, I can integrate pet care services into my daily routine by strategically scheduling client visits around my work hours and using flexible breaks. Depending on the service, I prioritize their physical and emotional well-being by maintaining routines, ensuring safety, and providing plenty of affection. Most importantly, I will follow the client's specific instructions and provide frequent, reassuring communication.
About: I have always had a love and passion for animals since I was a little girl. I started in elementary school by offering to walk my neighbors' dogs just so I could have the opportunity to play with them. Over the years, I have gained even more love and experience in properly caring for all animals as if they were my own. I am a student at JMU who is looking for something part time. I have a lot of free time in the afternoon and most weekends which I would love to spend my time with your wonderful animals! I currently live in an apartment building but is willing to take them in, take them to dog parks, and go on long walks. I am comfortable and flexible on what I would need to do to ensure the happiness and safety for your pets!
“Erica is a jackpot find on Rover! She is a dog trainer and trains her personal dogs for competition sports, so she can handle pretty much anything! My reactive, energetic GSD loved all her attention and expertise. She's a great communicator and goes the extra mile to make sure your pets are taken care of. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Taylor has been incredible with Benji and super communicative with me while I transitioned back to the office full-time! He can be a bit shy around new people and she was so patient with him every time she came to get him for his walk. She knows exactly what needs and makes sure he feels supported and happy on their daily walks. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who lives in the area!!”

About: I’ve worked with other dogs before and genuinely enjoy making them happy. I also love observing how well I get along with them and forming connections with them. It fits perfectly because I work with dogs every day, and I love coming back to hang out with them every chance I get. I love making connections. I ensure that they have access to certain things and refrain from feeding them anything that could make them ill. Additionally, I provide them with information about the activities they can engage in to prevent them from falling sick.
“Benji simply adores Kay! She is attentive and adventurous — taking him on nice long walks in our neighborhood. She is timely and thoughtful - sending periodic photos to check-in on his well-being and responding to any inquiries with minutes. To put it plainly, she deserves five stars — would absolutely recommend!”

“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”

“There's something about her - my dog just instantly loved her. He loves everyone, but with Leah it was more of a calm "oh yeah" than his normal manic excitement over guests. She's a gem. She is communicative and reliable, putting my mind at ease.”

“Stephanie was great! Super flexible with my last minute request and arrived right on time. My pup was pleased when he returned from his nice long walk and so was I. Thanks for an awesome first Rover experience Stephanie!”

“Erin has provided daily mid-day walks for my senior beagle mix, Amigo, for more than a month now. She is utterly reliable, punctual, organized, friendly, and simply a joy to work with. Erin is kind and affectionate my dog, and he adores her. She has a wealth of experience in caring for pets and gave me great ideas that I hadn't thought of for making things run smoothly, such as getting a lock box for the house key as well as advice on comforting a dog who's alarmed by thunder and other loud noises. She is a smart, polished professional and the ideal person to hire to care for your beloved pet.”

Heidi provided daily walks to my husky/GSD mix for several months. From the first walk, I could tell my pup's wellbeing was her top priority and not just a job. She was very professional and communicative, in addition to be patient with both my requests and my pup's desire to stop and sniff everything in the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend Heidi and will use hire her again if the circumstances arise.

Benji simply adores Kay! She is attentive and adventurous — taking him on nice long walks in our neighborhood. She is timely and thoughtful - sending periodic photos to check-in on his well-being and responding to any inquiries with minutes. To put it plainly, she deserves five stars — would absolutely recommend!

We just met Sydney this week, she took my dog Louie out for several walks, everything went great! She’s was on time, listened to everything I had to say/answered any questions s or concerns. She was very attentive to both myself and Louie. Louie loved her, I would highly recommend.
