“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”


“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 😊”


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.

“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 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, I’m Zane. You might say I have a bit of a Lucky Dog mindset when it comes to working with pups. For years, I’ve helped dogs build trust, confidence, and joy through calm leadership, positive reinforcement, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. Now, I’m bringing that same heart and expertise to the trails, parks, and neighborhoods. What Makes Me Different? As a college student studying both psychology and animal science, I don’t just walk dogs—I connect with them. I understand dog behavior on a deeper level and use that knowledge to make every walk safe, structured, and enriching. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, reactive, or just needs a steady hand, I’ve got the experience to make sure they feel secure and cared for. Every Walk is a Training Opportunity My calm and confident approach turns a daily walk into a moment of growth. I reinforce good leash manners, provide mental stimulation, and make sure every dog gets the physical exercise and emotional connection they need. Service You Can Count On • Tailored walks based on your dog’s energy level and personality • Consistent routines and detailed feedback after each visit • Clean, respectful home visits with plenty of play, affection, and fresh air • Trusted care with a trainer’s eye and a host’s heart Whether you’ve got a brand-new puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that’s worthy of a spot on Lucky Dog—because every dog deserves that kind of attention. Let’s give your dog their best day, every day. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can plan my day around walks, feedings, and playtime. I enjoy starting and ending the day with pets—it’s a great rhythm and honestly something I look forward to. Whether it’s sticking to their usual schedule or giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, I make pet care a priority and enjoy having it as a regular part of my week. Whether I’m watching pets in my home or theirs, I always make safety and comfort my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In my home, I keep the space clean, pet-friendly, and secure—no access to anything unsafe, and always supervised during play or outside time. If I’m caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to their regular schedule and make sure they feel at ease while their family is away. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, attention, and respect for their unique habits and preferences.

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'm home for summer break. Plenty of time to take care of your animals! 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.

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!!

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.

About: I've taken care of our family dog Ginger with my wife for the last 10 years. She is a very energetic mix of a Boxer and a Labrador so I am very comfortable with dogs that might be jumpy, playful, or what some might consider rough. I work from home so I can usually pop in for quick visit at all times of the day and longer stays can happen after five p.m. and any time on the weekends. I am not offering boarding at this moment but I look forward to the possibility in the future when we move into a bigger space.

Since I am going to school and am a stay at home mom I am pretty much available anytime ! I can also house animals in my home. I will do whatever request the owner ask! I love all animals all sizes. I have a lot of experience with animals. Growing up my family and I fostered and rehoused dogs all the time so I am pretty knowledgeable about animals and their needs.

“Maddie is the sweetest. My dog is very picky with walkers and he warmed up to her immediately. She was very understanding with his timid nature and she always sent me updates and pictures. Thanks Maddie!”

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!

“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 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'm Kelsie! I live in Madison Heights with 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 husband. I work in marketing from my home during the day, and I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to adjust to your schedule as needed. I also bartend on the weekends and occasional weeknight, but I can usually work around that schedule with enough notice. I've had animals my entire life, and growing up I was the primary caregiver for all the family pets from a young age. I have experience raising cats, dogs, and birds. I love pure breeds and support responsible breeding, but I personally love to rescue dogs. My husband and I have made a lot of progress with our rescues, building confidence and obedience training. They've developed good habits through our work and are well socialized with dogs of all sizes, cats, and children (although we don't have children ourselves.) We use primarily positive reinforcement for training, never more than a stern "no" in response to negative behavior. The closest thing to "punishment" that we practice is gently isolating the dog long enough to calm him down if he gets too riled up and stops listening. I am not a trained professional, but if you have any behavioral issues you would like to work on I would be happy to help based on my own experiences! I occasionally ask my husband to accompany me on visits for safety or an extra hand, especially if it's a new client or multiple dogs. I will always let you know if that's the case, and if you prefer not to let him in your home/around your pets we will adjust accordingly. Thank you for your time, I look forward to working with you! I'm fortunate to have a flexible work schedule, and have very few problems accommodating my clients' needs and finding solutions for various concerns. I know firsthand how important it can be to respect a pet's established schedule, especially when their owner is away and their anxiety might be heightened. My typical rover experiences involve walking dogs, playing with cats, and refilling food and water. I also have experience caring for rabbits, chickens, and exotic birds. I place a lot of value on clear, transparent communication. Therefore I text my clients often with updates and detailed descriptions of their pets care and conditions, making sure to include plenty of pictures.
