About: I took two years of a veterinary medicine class in high school where my main duties included taking care of class pets such as dogs, snakes, tortoises, rats, and leopard geckos. I worked at a local zoo for six months focusing on the housing of animals including chickens, goats, and tortoises. I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends since I was 12. I volunteer to walk dogs at a local shelter during my free time and I currently own a bearded dragon and a leopard gecko! I’m currently a third year college student, but I still make time to take care of pups! I’m free all day Wednesdays and weekends, other days I’m only available after 5pm! I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important routines are so I stick to them while still giving lots of attention and playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing extra snuggles for anxious pups. I have had years of experience, with having three labs currently to raising two litters of lab puppies. I have grown up with dogs and love being around them I am in school during the week Monday-Friday. Pet care fits best for me during the evenings or the weekends depending on the week of school. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and cuddle spots. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own space, keep their environment tidy, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of a couple of dogs in this area while people are on holiday leave or vacations. I enjoy dogs so much! I always had dogs growing up around the house and they are truly a man’s best friend! I currently work full-time during the day with a hybrid type work schedule that allows me to work from home part of the time. I have availability in the evenings and mostly weekends to be able to pet sit! The precaution of using a leash and making sure I am aware of using that for every single walk is crucial for safety on walks. I want to be able to care for your home well and lock up every time I come and go. I would most definitely ask for specific requests for your animals such as feeding time, when they need to go out, how often for walks to your specific liking.
About: With over 5 years of experience handling small to medium dogs, I've provided expert care through regular walks, feeding, grooming, and pet sitting for family friends. My passion for animals ensures they receive personal attention, comfort, and love, whether it's during daily routines or when they need a trusted sitter while their owners are away ! As a full-time graduate student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my academic responsibilities with my love for walking outdoors. Since I’m new to Lynchburg, it’s a great way to explore the community while giving dogs the care and attention they need. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, with added flexibility on Wednesdays and Fridays, making it easy to adjust to your pet’s needs! I currently live in an apartment, which provides a great space to walk dogs outdoors. In the past, I've pet-sat in clients' homes, always respecting their space and following specific instructions to ensure their pets receive the best care. Although I don’t have any pets of my own after losing my dog two years ago, I approach each pet with the same love and attention I would for my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and rodents for more than a decade. I am very passionate and experienced with their personalities, needs, and care. I have also taken care of animals of all ages, even senior pets who need a little extra love and attention. I am happy to work with special needs pets as long as the owner works with me to establish a care plan. I am currently looking for full-time employment, so I will have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! This frees me up to take morning or evening walks with your buddy during the hot summer or fall months. I am happy to follow any instructions given by the owners and to cater the experience to each individual pet as needed. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I promise to always do my best to make sure they are comfortable and safe while they are in my care.
“Kaylee was amazing! She responded quickly and stayed in touch with me each day of her visit. She has patience with shy pets, and my dog warmed right up to her after the first walk. Definitely would use her again!”
About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I’m committed to taking the best care of your fur baby. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust! I currently work from home all week & am available pretty much all day for potty breaks, feedings and play time! I live near a lot of trails and I love walking companions! I have one small dog who would absolutely love a play partner. I live in a very walkable location and my husband and I are constantly taking our dog for walks, another companion would be great!

About: I have owned and taken care of many animals since I was young including exotic and livestock animals. I have experience with training two very different breeds of dogs, one currently still in training. I work with kids at a summer camp fulltime but between me and my fiance the pets are never alone for more than 4 hours. My weekends are fully open and that's usually when I go on more enriching activities such as hikes, lakes, ECT. My cats at home are allowed to free roam and usually keep to themselves but my dog stays mostly in her pen because she's still being house trained. My house is on the smaller side so best suited for small to medium dogs instead of large.
About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).

Lynchburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
It was our first time brining our dogs to a hotel so we were a little nervous about getting someone to walk them. Summer did an amazing job. She wanted to meet them beforehand and she walked them 2 times on Saturday afternoon so we could be at my daughter’s wedding . I loved the photos and the feedback from her after they walked.
