“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”

“Monica is super responsive and great communicator. She was able to meet up with us beforehand for Teddy to meet her since he's is incredible shy. Teddy had a good walk with her! Thanks again!”

About: Updated November 2022: I have recently moved to North Arlington. I previously had the luxury of having pups board at my house, but unfortunately I don’t have that ability here in Arlington. So now I’m hoping to care for pups in the comfort of their own homes! I have a small Frenchie I’d love to bring along, but can also leave her behind if needed! I’m currently working in the office Mondays & Tuesday, but work at home the rest of the week! Original Profile Details: Hello! My name is Matt! I have worked as the Assistant General Manager at Dogtopia Alexandria for 2 years. We were voted #1 store in North America in 2016 and 2017! I have tons of experience with all types of breeds and personalities, from outgoing, high energy pups to the more reserved and anxious pups. I will provide them with the exercise, care, support and love they need while their Pack Leaders are out of town! I currently have a sweet French Bulldog that will become your pups best friend! Growing up I had two German Shepherds and a Sheltie. I love dogs and am a big believer in “It’s a dog’s world, we just live in it.” I am currently working from home Wednesday through Fridays - so your pup will get a walk first thing in the morning, just after lunch and later in the evening at a minimum. If it’s a Monday or Tuesday, your pup will get an early morning walk, early afternoon then an evening walk at a minimum. I would require a meet and greet ahead of any booking. While out of town I will provide daily updates and as many pictures as I can!
“Justin is very transparent with me and he takes such an extra care for MoMo! He didn’t just walk MoMo but also spend extra time playing with him! He is right on time and great at following instructions how to get into my building and where things are! He is now our first pick if we have to be gone for a day or two!”
About: I grew up with rescue dogs in my family and I took care of them throughout my childhood and teenage years. I’ve also spent years taking care of my friends’ dogs when they go out of town or need a midday walk. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters in the past where I took dogs for walks and played with them. I love big and small dogs! Currently, I walk or sit for three different dogs in my apartment building too. I do work a full time job, but have a fairly flexible schedule with lots of work from home time. I am available weekdays and weekends at a variety of hours! I live in an apartment with easy walking access to multiple parks and green spaces. I love walking outside and throwing around a ball whether that’s near your home or mine. I am always respectful of other people’s homes and am happy to adhere to any instructions surrounding care for your dog of any size or age.
“Gabriella takes unbelievable care of my dog and takes pictures of their walks together. She will also alert you to anything that she might’ve observed like she did when my dogs stomach wasn’t feeling to good. I highly recommend Gabriella for whatever needs your dog may need”
“Katie was great! She took great care of my dog Zara taking her out for walks while I was at work, sending pictures, and giving her lots of attention. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Our dog loves Sienna and she gets long, enthusiastic walks out of him. Sienna is consistent, responsive, professional and has a sincere enthusiasm for dogs that they respond to.”
About: I’ve cared for many animals over the years, from my own to beloved pets of friends and other family. I grew up caring for both cats and dogs, and have experience with senior pups who have limited mobility. My schedule is relatively flexible, as I currently work from home. I am available at a variety of hours for drop ins and walks across all 7 days of the week. Your pets’ safety is my priority! I care for your pets as if they were my own. If possible, I would love to have detailed instructions for exactly how to keep up with your pets - I want to make sure that your pets (and you!) are comfortable with my services and that all your rules are followed to keep them safest and happiest.

Matthew N.
“Hi! My name is Toby and I am a 3 year old Shi Tzu, I love chasing squirrels and playing with my sister, Mama Kitty. My dad, Mike, asked me to help him write a recommendation for my uncle, Matt. I have known Matt my entire life, every time he comes over we play tug and fetch, then we usually cuddle on the couch for a while before my sister butts in. I love when uncle Matt comes over to play! one time, My mom and dad went on a trip for a week, and I got to stay with my uncle Matt for an ENTIRE WEEK, it was the best!! We played SO MUCH and he even taught me how to roll over!!. he took me to the park and he took me to his job where I got to meet all the other dogs Matt hangs out with every day(Matt worked at Dogtopia- a dog daycare). My dad told me to write in here how Matt has always had dogs growing up, even before my cousin Stella came into the picture (Matt's daughter-a French bulldog). He also said to tell you all that he has known Matt most of his life, and dogs have always been a huge part of Matt's life. If ever there was a quintessential "dog person" Matt is it.”

North Highland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Gabrielle was amazing with our dog Guazi, who has some anxiety about walks, especially while raining. Gabrielle was super patient getting Guazi out of the house. She was also very thoughtful about making sure Guazi took her medication. And Gabrielle was extremely communicative through the app, leaving detailed descriptions and photos so we didn’t miss a beat. Highly recommend Gabrielle!
Atin has been such a blessing to our family and especially our pup Solace! She is timely in communication, flexible with our dynamic schedule and takes great care of our sweet pup. We feel very comfortable with her taking Solace on walks from our home. We highly recommend Atin!

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
