“Alainna is amazing! She stepped in to help me walk my two girl dogs because I have some health issues going on. She was here a few minutes early and very sweet and kind. She even brought treats for them to have during their walk! My two dogs loved her instantly 😊”
“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”
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 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.
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! My schedule is so flexible so I am able to accommodate any specific needs!
“Audrey was wonderful with my Rosebud! I booked with her a little bit last minute, but she was very flexible and even did a meet and greet with Rosebud prior to the walk day. Will definitely book with Audrey again!!”
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).
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: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!! There is sidewalks in the neighborhood that makes it easy for taking walks. I am here to care for your fur-baby as you would. I will pet, feed, walk, play, brush attend to your fur-baby's needs. You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.
“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 joined Rover on May 18, 2025. I'm great to call on with little to no notice. I have cared for neighbors' and friends' pets many times off and on, and now I'm excited to care for yours! Not a 'too-good-to-be-true' 5.0— all my rating proves that I've gotten a 4-star review, and I'm STILL doing this. Means I actually enjoy pet-sitting, and I'm on this site to stay. I do keep my schedule completely up to date! If I can’t make something happen, it’s likely because you asked for a booking at a time that I’m just unavailable. As of August 21, I am a student, and I likely cannot negotiate the schedule that you see - this means that most of my nights are free! What really makes my day is a travel time between Wheaton College and your location- no need to share your address, that will be shared when the booking is confirmed. Finally, if you have general questions about Rover, don’t hesitate to reach out! I'm currently home for summer break. Plenty of time to take care of your animals at many hours! I am free during the day, and will likely accept any offers placed at least 3 hours in advance. I'm great at loving on dogs and cats alike, and I like going on walks with different dogs. To be more specific, I'm a bit particular about making sure that my dog doesn't eat crud off of the street, and when playing with cats, I'm fond of using hair ties and flicking them across the room to get a cat's energy out.
About: Hi! My name is Britt. I'm a Lynchburg-area dog walker and house/pet sitter. I've had pets all my life. I'm also a doggie dad myself. My guy's name is Petersburg (Pete for short). I'm excited to get to know some more furry friends! I have an extremely flexible weekly schedule which allows me to adjust my availability to fit the needs and routines of you and your fur babies. For my guy, Pete, I feed him breakfast and dinner, and let him outside every 3-4 hours. Before we adopted Pete, he was hit by a car and had to have two surgeries on his hip. So, as he continues to rehabilitate, I make sure that he gets a few long walks every week alternated with some recovery days of well-deserved laziness.
“Allison is amazing! She walked Murphy for me twice in one day. She sent me updates and pictures and Murphy seemed so comfortable and happy in her presence :) thank you again Allison!”
About: Since being on this app I have taken care of blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs from all ages. I have delivered shots and oral medications. I have a very flexible availability, especially during the summers. During my time off I spend most of my time outside exploring the great outdoors! I have a securely fenced-in yard, and my resident bernedoodle is eager to make new friends (please note: your dog must be dog-friendly and comfortable around people). As someone who loves to jog and hike in nature, I can promise an enriching environment. Whether they require special care or simply need a fun adventure, I'm here to accommodate your requests. I look forwards to providing your pet with a fun and memorable stay!

Katya P.
“I have two of the cutest dogs ever, and Katya always takes care of them so well. They love going on walks, and Katya, with pleasure, is able to walk them around the whole neighborhood and give them rest time. One of my dogs tends to be a little too hyper and pushy at times during his walks, but Katya always manages to keep him under control. She has also been very kind in gifting them adorable outfits and some toys. I would highly recommend Katya as a pet caregiver, and I know she’ll be excited to hang out with any pet.”
Grace R.
“Grace is super reliable. She checked on my kitty every day as needed while I was away. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pet!”
Katevonni S.
“Katevonni has been a wonderful part of my families lives for many years, providing exceptional care for our family's pets. She’s always been flexible with her time and willing to step in on short notice, which has been such a relief. Every time our dogs saw her, their tails would start wagging with excitement—you could clearly see how happy they were to be around her. That kind of reaction told me everything I needed to know. When we’re not home, I have full confidence that our dogs are not just being looked after, but genuinely loved, played with, and cared for as if they were her own. That’s all we could ever ask for. I completely trust Katevonni in our home and with any future pet sitting. I hope others take a chance on her like we did so many years ago—because she’s more than just a pet sitter now, she’s become a family friend. She’s fantastic at what she does, and I know any pet in her care will receive nothing but the very best.”

Alexis K.
“I can’t say enough good things about Lexie! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly professional. Most importantly—she took absolutely outstanding care of my dog. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and even a few videos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog can be a little anxious in new environments, but Lexie treated her like family—patient, attentive, and full of love. When I picked up my pup, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur baby, but Lexie has earned my full trust and gratitude. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

Madison Heights 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.
