“I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!”

About: I've owned pets my entire life and have been caring for my family and friends pets for 5 years. I love them as my own and ensure they get the quality of care and attention they need. I've walked, fed, bathed, and house sat for owners and their animals of every shape and size. I love getting to know each animal's personality and be-friending each animal I care for. I work in the evenings at 4 so during the day I'm available to walk and care for your pet anytime before then. On my days off, I'm available to walk and do whatever care is needed for your pet all day. Given proper notice for house sitting or caring for your animal, I will requests days off. My schedule is flexible and my days off change but I am willing to shift my schedule around to accommodate your needs. I am more able to move things around if you let me know a week or two ahead of time for times you may need me all day or for house sitting and would like me at the house all day. Communication is key, so let me know what is needed and when and I will quickly respond letting you know if I'm available and can shift my schedule or not. I will ensure your pets are cared for the same way you care for them. By this I mean I will feed and walk them at the proper times as well as give them attention and play with them as much as as possible. I cannot have pets in my own apartment but whatever routine and rules you have in your home I will honor and abide by.

Norfolk dog parents share their Rover experiences
I can't speak highly enough of Jackson as a dog walker he’s truly exceptional and also as a person. From the very beginning, he has shown an incredible level of compassion and understanding toward my two fur boys, treating them with the same care and attentiveness I would expect from family. His genuine love for animals is evident in every interaction, and my dogs absolutely adore him. Jackson is consistently punctual and dependable, which gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing that my pets are in safe and capable hands. He communicates clearly, provides regular updates, and often goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are happy, exercised, and well looked after. Out of all the dog walkers I’ve hired over the years, Jackson stands head and shoulders above the rest. His professionalism, warmth, and dedication make him an irreplaceable part of our lives and I consider myself lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and caring.
Thank you soooooo much!!!!!! It felt really good to be able to leave our babies and know that they were with someone as caring and great as you. We can home to our pets just way we left them. We would mos def love to use your services again. I hope our fur babies treated you with love.
Julia has been AMAZING in caring for my nervous rescues during my long work day. When we had our meet and greet, Julia was very oriented to safety details and receptive to info on how I manage my dogs’ nerves. I totally trust that she will work with my pups at their pace- I can see in the rover pet reports she leaves, that she follows my dog’s lead on walks and is attuned to her comfort level. As a newish rover customer, I am so beyond grateful to have found Julia on here!!
