Dog Walking Midland

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes; ranging from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Raised my 3 month pup till he was 16 so I can handle a dog at any phase. Currently I have no other job which means my schedule is quite flexible. My availability is Monday-Friday from 10am-10pm. New clients have to request a day before because setting up takes time. Clients already on file get 12hrs or less, depending on how booked I am. I would make sure a dog approaching is friendly and if yours is not I’d go another route to avoid complications. When I walk my dogs I make sure they poop before heading home so the same would go for yours. I would not try cutting the 1hr walk short.

About: I have taken care of neighbors, friends, and family’s pets! I have worked in a boarding facility for 1 year and absolutely love all furry friends! I’m currently working part time, so I have extensive availability to play with your pups! I do have trips but I am generally always in the area! I love to run around and play with any furry friends and am willing to do any tasks you need to make sure they are happy!

“Gloria was great. Easy to work with and sent great pics of the pup!”

“Becky was a very big help and did a great job stopping by and taking my pup for a walk around the neighborhood. She took good care of Ace and made sure to provide pictures and good feedback on how the walk went. I will be happy to have her care for my pup again!”

“Karen was such a charming lady and she took 10 seconds to get Howl to adore her. Kudos to Karen to travel from Triangle to Warrenton just because their location was not updated on the Rover app. Thanks Karen for caring for Howl.”

About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease

About: When you're looking for someone to take care of your babies while you're out of town or working long hours, you want someone who will treat them like family — exactly like you would. That's what I do. I'm Erica, a full-time house & pet sitter with over 8 years of pet care experience. I'm a Rover Star Sitter with 35 repeat clients who book me again and again because their pets are happy, their home is respected, and they never have to worry while they're away. I offer house sitting, boarding, doggy day care, drop-in visits, and dog walking across Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Woodbridge — for dogs and cats, multi-pet homes included. Here's what you can expect with me: ✅ Daily photo & message updates, so you always know how your pet is doing ✅ Fast, clear communication — I respond in minutes, not hours ✅ Your pet's routine followed exactly: feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime ✅ Experience with senior dogs, oral medication, anxious pets, and high-energy pets ✅ Flexible scheduling — including short-notice bookings when I'm available And if I'm house sitting in your home, I'll leave it just as I found it — my clients regularly tell me it was cleaner when they got home than when they left. Your pet won't just be “watched” with me. They'll be loved, exercised, and kept on their routine until you're back home. While I'm on the job, your pet is 100% the center of my focus and never ignored. I'm very attentive to each animal's individual needs — whether that's walks and throwing the ball for an active dog, or pets and quiet company for an older dog who can't exercise much. I follow your care instructions to the letter, including medication, and I'll always let you know right away if anything comes up.

“Top notch as always! She has so much fun with our bud and you can tell he loves her to pieces.”

About: We’re a pack of four - two dogs and two humans - and we’re always excited to welcome canine guests! Our 80 lb supermutt, Loki, and 60 lb pitty, Ginny, love visitors of all kinds (though so far, only humans and canines have been officially approved 😉). Our home is very dog-friendly, with plenty of toys and space to play including a fenced yard in the back. Your dog will be comfortable here, and we’re happy to accommodate any special needs to make their stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We offer overnight stays and only accept dogs who are house-trained. For everyone’s safety, guest dogs must be spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and friendly with other dogs. We can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 We usually walk outside in the neighborhood or up by the Cougar school in the wooded area 2 times a day. Dogs are not alone for more than 2-3 hours per day. We have a large fenced yard that is accessible from the deck/kitchen, locked and unless your dog is a real athlete that can jump a 6ft fence, very safe for them to hang. The finished basement level is also available for dog play in a pack or individually. Also comes in handy to separate any nervous dogs, as needed.

“Rachel was amazing with our Bingka! She took our girl out in the snow/rain and we can tell Bingka loved it! Definitely recommend booking with her, she treats your pets as if they’re her own :)”

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.
