About: Grew up caring for rescue dogs with my family. Currently have a rescue that I've had for 2 years as well as help care for 2 puppies. I currently work full-time, early morning to early afternoon. So I would be able to check in on pets or give some play/walk time in the afternoons/early evenings as well as all weekend In my own home my pets go on walks to relieve themselves due to living in an apartment. I have cared for other pets who need walks and have fenced in backyards.
About: Trusted Veteran • Farm-Raised Animal Lover • Dependable Dog Walker Growing up on a farm in North Dakota gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. As a dog owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My military background strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to following instructions, ensuring every pet receives safe, dependable care. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I recently retired from the Army, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I will provide regular updates with photos, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.
About: I grew up in a household where my mom always took care of dogs, I’ve been helping her for a year and I’m ready to start providing my own services. I’m currently a senior in high school and I’m mostly available during weekends at any time. Sometimes I’m available on weekday afternoons. I pay attention to details, I’m very careful and I will follow all the directions to give your pets a safe and fun time.
About: ONLY HYPOALLERGENIC DOGS🐶 Hi there! I’m Laia and I live in the Mt. Vernon area with my partner in a house with a 0.5-acre fenced backyard. I work from the office some days a month, but otherwise, I’m home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Since my routine can vary, I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable being alone for a few hours and don’t have separation anxiety. We don’t have any pets or kids at home, and due to allergies, we can only host hypoallergenic pups. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Some days I’ll be working from the office for about 5 hours, and other days I’ll be home—my schedule changes week to week. I really enjoy having a dog around for company, so I’m looking for pups who are comfortable being on their own for a bit and don’t have separation anxiety. In my home, pets have access to a spacious 0.5 acre fenced backyard, perfect for running, playing, and enjoying the outdoors safely. We live in a quiet residential neighborhood with plenty of green areas and nearby trails. I aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home while getting plenty of outdoor time and attention.
“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including caring for my own cat and helping care for a friend’s senior age Chihuahua. I have also volunteered at a animal shelter in Blacksburg, VA. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I understand that some pets need lots of attention while others need a little more space. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide consistent pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the timing and needs of each pet. I’m happy to work with owners on a schedule that keeps their pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine while they’re away I take pet safety seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, routines, and any house rules. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and won’t force interaction if they need space. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away

“Completely happy and satisfied with the care Dana provided our 2 boys for their walk we scheduled with her. The dogs were happy and I would definitely recommend Dana to others!”
About: Dogs are tight, like one walked me down the stairs as a kid, they can sure be annoying sometimes but just gotta keep ‘em fed and comfy. I’m free most days except Wednesday though that’s negotiable, case by case. I’ll probably be free most of the summer unless something else is in the docket. It’s best not to rule them up, but keep very attentive. Pee and poop when needed, eat when needed, telling when by body language. Also good to snuggle if I’m not feeling too smothered LOL. And of course, you never know what these guys are capable of, so doors shut, fragile things put away.
About: My older brother used to breed South African Mastiff’s and train different breeds. I’ve been blessed to learn the difference between dog breeds, how they communicate to each other and their owners, and understand what needs their personalities require. I also help my sister with her husky and they are a bit much lol, so that’s a bonus in experience! It is my goal to deliver attentive and dependable care to every paw! My schedule as of right now is quite flexible since i’m working part time as an Esthetician. I decided to join rover to bring more fulfillment into my weekly routines. I have a big field next to a playground in my townhouse complex where the neighborhood dogs hang out. I also have fenced back yard & covered outdoor patio if being around other dogs aren’t an option. I like to keep anything at reach away from pets , while giving them space to roam freely, unless requested otherwise. As for cats I like to keep a closer eye on because they are quite curious so while giving them their space, I like to check in on them often.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed being around them. I grew up with a dog and have had the joy of caring for pets from a young age.

I have plenty of experience with dog walking and providing dogs with attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home during the week, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be available during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and providing pets with attention and companionship. I’m also free on weekends and enjoy spending my extra time caring for dogs. I have two pugs of my own, so I’m already used to the daily responsibilities of feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel loved and comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
I don't even know where to begin, but Jackie has been such an absolute BLESSING during a very tumultuous time where I have not been able to walk my dog, Sadie, due to having leg surgery and needing someone short notice. Never would I have thought that I would find my dog's godmother, but HERE WE ARE! Jackie is incredible with Sadie and Sadie is IN LOVE with Jackie. I used to work in vets myself and can feel Jackie's empathetic and beautiful nature when it comes to pets, and even my little demon hobbit cat loves her too and he is hard to please. Jackie is also aware of any inconsistencies with Sadie's behavior, potty breaks and has even checked for ticks as the spring gets nuts with those terrible creatures. We are going to be so sad that she won't be coming 3 times a day anymore, but Jackie has become an actual friend and Sadie and I plan to have visits. There is no way Sadie cannot be in Jackie's life and Jackie has expressed the same. We seriously love her so much and will still book with her when needed in the future. You could not be in better hands than with Jackie and I have trust issues lol. She is the VERY BEST <3
My boy, Henry, and I are repeat customers and so very thankful for Miranda! She walks Henry on a weekly basis and I know he looks forward to her visits! Knowing she had experience with a dog who just went through ACL surgery gave me so much added peace of mind. Highly recommend Miranda!
