About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 6 and I’ve had a pup of my own for almost 10 years! I’m here for all your dogs needs including walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, medications (if needed) and, of course, love! I want your dogs to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away and I don’t want YOU to miss a thing which is why I’ll send plenty of pictures of your fur-babies! I’m a graduate student on summer break so I have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and check-in on your furry friends! I want to work around YOUR schedule and offer my services when you need them most! I want to learn all about what your animals love! From your dogs favorite chew toy to your cats favorite sunny nap spot. I have a senior dog, Ginger, that I’ve had since she was 6 months and a 2 year old cat so I am super familiar and comfortable with dogs and cats alike especially their needs, habits, and personalities. I will follow any schedules/instructions you provide me including meal plans, playtime, medications (if needed), walks, etc. I will also keep the space as clean as I found it so you don’t have to worry about messes or any other stress when you return!
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs and have been consistently walking and caring for pets from middle school through college. I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.
“Heather did a fantastic job taking care of my mothers dog Field. She was always on time, communicated welll and did a great job overall. I would definitely recommend her to anyone”
“Laura has been wonderful with walking my rather high maintenance pups. I don't know how I would have made it through the holidays without her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and flexible. She always takes the time to show my babies special love and affection and that has meant the world to me. Thank you Laura!”
“I reached out at the last minute and got a quick response . Emma showed me that she is reliable and dependable by showing up on time. I have no complaints. Thanks for being trust-worthy Emma!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years now. I can do various things including walking and bathing almost any dog. Taking care of dogs is my job and I love it! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks/drop ins pretty frequently throughout any day of the week. My best times would be before 12 and after 7 but I can typically do times in between as well with enough notice I would care for your pet in any way necessary by following any instructions you can give me. With my experience, I know how to keep dogs safe and happy!
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 been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.
About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.
About: My specialty is where I’ve worked at different animal shelters over the past 5 years and have abundant behavioral and medical experience with multiple types of dogs and cats! I’m very consent based on petting and have a soft spot for socialization of anxious animals. Your pets will be in loving caring hands at all times!! I have a full time job that runs until evening when I’m working, but can still do any drop in visits or overnight pet sitting. I have 2 week days off that I can use for your pets as needed which can include dog walks or house sitting! I have lots of experience with dogs from my work in animal shelters and am comfortable with multiple temperaments. With my work as a vet assistant, I’m trained in monitoring the health and wellbeing of dogs and cats and am very skilled in medication administration. I would also prefer to meet your dogs/cats once or twice before we are on our own so that they can be comfortable around me in their homes!
About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.
“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: In my career I have worked with animals of all shapes and sizes! I specialize in animal behavior and husbandry. I’ve held my dog training certification for over 6 years and have loved working with people and their dogs every step of the way. I believe in helping dog owners better understand their pet through behavior education, training, and enrichment! I am available on a very flexible schedule for you and your dog! I can do drop in visits as well as in home or public access training! I treat every animal with respect for their individual needs! From a simple visit with basic obedience to advanced training and behavior-I’m here to help!
About: I've cared for and loved animals my whole life. I grew up on a small horse farm in the country. I love any and all types of animals! Dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, pocket pets, you name it! I'm not picky. I started working at my old neighbors boarding and grooming place at the age of 12. Thats when I started learning about dog behavior. Since then I have worked & volunteered at multiple animal related places, Doggy daycare, local animal shelters, multiple pet sitting jobs & have worked at my current job at the emergency vet since 2016. Im very flexible in my day to day care. Even on days I work long hours I can still check on your pet a minimum of 3 times a day. Some days I don’t work until night and I have off every other weekend. Message me and we can work something out! I currently work at the local emergency animal hospital. I am in school to become a licensed veterinary technician. Your fur baby would be in great, knowable hands. I’m familiar with crate trained animals, & Ones that have special needs also. I read animal body language very well & can often figure out what is best for their comfort and safety.
About: I love animals of all kinds and have many years of experience caring for animals in both my personal and professional life. I currently own a wonderful dog and have owned cats, a bunny and a guinea pig. :) I don't know how people live without pets and always enjoy any opportunity to hang with a furry friend! I am comfortable caring for dogs and animals of all ages and with various care needs including giving medicine, baths, and picking up after accidents. I am always up for outdoor adventures and am comfortable going on lengthy hikes or just chilling and keeping your pet company. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule so I can be available during the day on weekdays as well as the weekend. I am also available for early morning check-ins and walks if that is what your dog/pet needs. I have pet-sat many times and am comfortable with all levels of care needed-from just stopping by to check-in to staying overnight and any amount of care in-between. I am a true animal lover and have found that dogs tend to feel comfortable around me so I'm sure your pet and I will become fast friends!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 Lynchburg. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
