“Janet came recommended to us by another dog family and we couldn't have been happier with her help! She sent pictures and made the effort to come meet out pup before the day arrived. Absolutely wonderful.”
“Samantha is very caring and conscientious. She shows up on time and gives me the details of what is happening with my fur baby. I love how she provides pictures and you know your pet will be treated with respect. :)”
About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule! I am a full time student at GMU but my classes are spread out so I have a lot of time to work with. I’m very willing to work something out to ensure your fur babies get good care. I will respect your home and house rules when dropping in or taking the pets for walks. I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
“Stefanie has done a great job with our dogs, both for walks and drop ins. She’s attentive, communicative, and great with both of our dogs! Highly recommend her if you need anything.”
About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors, family friends and my own parents since I was about 8 years old. I have experience dealing with pets who have special needs. I have a cat who is diabetic and gets insulin shots, and a dog who takes seizure medication. I am working a summer job with low hours, so I have plenty of time for some cute pets! I’m available for house sitting, potty breaks and walks throughout the week and weekend outside of my job! When I take care of pets, I will stay and give them attention if I am just popping in. I like to watch them when they are outside and I am capable of handling a crate if necessary.
“Omg I love Megan for taking such good care of my Rocky while I am recovering from surgery. I was so worried who would walk him during the day. She has been truly an amazing person and Rocky loves her. He knows when she is walking up the steps and waiting by the door. Thank you again so much Megan for taking such good of my pupson.”
“I’ve had Christopher walk my English cocker spaniel a few times now and I still have nothing but good things to say. He’s attentive, he gives her good exercise, and he’s almost always available. When something seems off about her, he lets me know. He’s a really caring, great person, and I HIGHLY recommend.”
About: My spouse and I have been taking care of our family pets and pet-sitting for neighbors since we were kids! I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rodents to cats to corgis to german shepherds and more! Currently, we are in the process of training a service dog and raising our cat mandy. When my wife was in high school, they worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and learned a lot about pet care there. We are excited to meet and take care of your fur babies! I currently work from home so we are able to take care of your pets whenever they need throughout the day! We have a dog of our own, so they can have a playmate and we have a big yard for them to run around in. At our home, we have a large fenced in yard for pups to play, as well as lots of toys and treats. At your home, we will be sure to follow any and all instructions you provide for taking care of your pet as well as your home!
“Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!”

In addition to providing day-to-day care like walks and drop-ins, I have experience with long-term housesitting.

“We love Melissa! She is always taking such good care of our two dogs and is so communicative with us through her detailed reports. By far the best dog walker in the region. Will continue to book with her!!!”
“Katherine has been so great with Oscar! She has been taking him on 30 minute walks, giving him treats, and spending time with him. She also brought her own dog one day and Oscar was able to socialize a bit. Oscar really likes Katherine and they get along quite well. We are so relieved since we have to be in the office all day! Katherine has been on time and very nice and respectful, we are very grateful! Thank you so much, Katherine!”
“Deloris came through last minute which was incredible but also provided 5 star service and paid attention to detail. We will definitely be using her again. Run don’t walk to book her.”
Montclair dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jaelyn manages Ana very well and demonstrates a calm, attentive approach that works effectively with her. Elsa has a much stronger temperament, and given those challenges, I understand that Jaelyn is doing her best with both dogs. I appreciate her patience, consistency, and continued effort in managing their different behaviors.
I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!
Isabella was phenomenal! She took amazing care of Mia and was available on very short notice, which I truly appreciated. She was incredibly kind, super responsive, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care—and I’ll definitely be booking her again soon!
Kerri is absolutely the best!! We truly hit the jackpot with finding someone we trust and truly cares about our dog. Kerri even sends pictures and updates each visit which are such a joy to receive. Saint (our dog) instantly fell in love with her so you cannot imagine the peace of mind I have knowing my baby is left in such great capable hands. My neighbors have even inquired about her because they see how attentive she is with Saint on their walks. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.
