About: Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a playdate, or a cozy companion while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, safe and spoiled! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and my experience goes beyond the usual four-legged friends. I also have experience caring for exotic frogs and reptiles, so I’m no stranger to pets that are a little more unique! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time and flexibility to provide different levels of care! Dogwalking I can provide on much shorter notice (sometimes same day) and I can be fairly flexible for daysitting as well. Please let me know of any medical needs or specific habits of your pet I should be aware of to keep them as comfortable and in their routine as possible. Thank you! I am located downtown so I unfortunately do not have the ability to house any pets, however, I have ample access and familiarity with some wonderful walking trails in the area as well as the local dog park. If it works with my schedule, I can also sit your pets at your/their home if you want to keep them in a familiar environment at a competitive cost.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lynchburg
Emma has been amazing! She provides walks for my dad's dog 3x per week. My dad (83yo, has Alzheimer's) loves Emma (and remembers her name - a sign he really connected with her) and so does Braden. She was happy to increase to daily walks when the weather conditions made any dog walks unsafe for my dad. She communicates schedule changes proactively and professionally. She has given both my dad and me peace of mind that Braden is getting the physical activity and stimulation he needs.

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.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
