“Great communication and helped me out last minute. Works with dogs and was able to initiate crate training and “nap time” for my new puppy. Thank you so much!”
“what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul”
“Rebecca was amazing! She met with me before watching my dogs and she was very loving and attentive to both of them. She kept me informed about how they did while I was gone and kept the report card up-to-date. She left my house very clean and she was very respectful. I would definitely use her again!”
“My pup is getting plenty of socialization at Carolyn’s. I’m a first puppy owner, so I get nervous with stuff, but I have trust in Carolyn that she knows what she’s doing. She takes great pictures, is laid back, and is knowledgeable about dogs. I really trust her and like her!!”
“Bree was so great! She was super flexible with my long work hours and Oakley had the absolute best time with her! We will definitely be using her again!”

“Jessica and James have both been great daycare hosts! They’re efficient communicators and home most of the day so my dog gets a lot of time outside the crate. They’re great at being flexible as well and we definitely recommend and will continue to use regularly. This was my first rover experience and it was great!”

Im not yet back to working in medicine so I am home most days Happy to walk dogs any distance/amount of time/ route. Also happy to jog with dogs if clients prefer and if the dog is used to jogging (I am a runner). Also willing to take dogs to client preferred parks or trails.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I currently have a 3-year-old Rottweiler back at home, which has given me experience with strong, energetic breeds. Whether your dog needs playtime, patience, or gentle care, I provide reliable and loving attention tailored to their needs! I am currently a full time student at University of Virginia was a former Student-Athlete, being a senior my schedule is very flexible! I have an open schedule every week!

“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking.

“Svitlana did great with Otto's nervous mom (me). She sent plenty of photos, updates, and reassurance. Otto felt comfortable at the house during his doggie daycare stay. He was relaxed enough to eat, sleep, and play. I rarely have anyone watch Otto, but we'll return if Svitlana is available when needed in the future.”

About: Having had dogs and cats my entire life, I am well prepared to take care of your furry friend. Having had a dog with severe allergies, I am also prepared to take care of any pets with chronic health conditions that require more attention As a medical student in a hybrid learning environment, I have a flexible schedule that provides me the time to tend to your pets as needed. Caring for my own dog, your pet can fit seamlessly into our schedule for walks, bathroom breaks, and play time. I take all pets on several walks a day, providing them ample time to exercise and play outside. In caring for my clients home, I will make sure their pet abides by all house rules and maintain a clean living space for their home.
“Isaiah was an a amazing sitter! We needed him last minute as we found out late about meeting a friend that was from Germany. He was very transparent when it came to how my Cali was that day and what his plans were to keep them busy. He asks all the questions and was VERY, VERY patient with us.”
“Allison was such an amazing and flexible puppy sitter! She was available last minute and even offered to drop her off at my apartment at the end of the day! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there - she sent lots of photos of her playing and snuggling on the couch and came back totally exhausted. We would highly recommend Allison and will be using her again in the future!”
