“Paul is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly reliable: he answers messages promptly, is always on time for walks, and as a bonus, is a genuinely kind person. I have a 100lb. dog and Paul is able to walk him without issue, and can even wrangle him into his rain coat! I would trust Paul with caring for any animal. Before he leaves everyday, he fills up the water bowl and has never once forgotten. I truly cannot recommend Paul enough.”
About: I have owned and loved pets my whole life. Growing up I owned dogs, and took care of neighborhood dogs and cats. Now, I own two cats, and love visiting with and taking care of pets of friends and family. I am available most days and times, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Flexible scheduling, and happy to work with your pets routine care and needs! I know how deeply people care for their pets, as a pet owner myself. Each pet has their own personality and attention needs. Whether it be an excitable dog, or a cat that needs a little extra space to feel comfortable, I think it is important to make sure the level they need is appropriately met!
“Jessica is great! She has a good rapport with Franklin, is communicative, trustworthy and flexible. We will continue to work with her and recommend her to any other pet owners :)”
About: I have taken care of anything from giant farm dogs to tiny orange kittens and have love to give for every creature in between. With experience in medical fostering for dogs, I am an attentive, gentle, person excited to take care of your fur baby. I am available on weekdays with the exception of Tuesday. I can drop in for a mid-day potty break or an evening walk, whatever timing suits you and your pet best. I am the walking equivalent of a defensive driver - I am attentive on trails and sidewalks to ensure a safe and enjoyable outing for your pet.
“Matt is very patient with my senior pup! He’s been walking her for me while I’m out of commission. She wags her tail when she sees him coming and is happy when she gets home!”
“Jackson always does a wonderful job with my dog. He is a trustworthy person and truly a dog lover. I couldn’t ask for a better walker to walk my dog. Thank you so much Jackson!”
About: I’m a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover, offering attentive, compassionate care. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, administering medications, and ensuring every pet feels safe and loved. I work full-time as a registered nurse on a 3x12 schedule, which gives me four days off each week. On my days off, I dedicate my time to providing attentive, loving care for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, and any special needs. My flexible schedule allows me to offer consistent, reliable care while giving pets the attention they deserve I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets, whether in my home or theirs. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I give plenty of attention, monitor their health, and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for at all times
About: I have dogs and cats, and experience with all types from high energy to seniors! My sweet Australian cattle dog was reactive and high-energy, so I am familiar with training and walking those types of smart dogs. I also have a soft spot for seniors who want to move at their own pace and just want love and attention. I want to help make your life easier and make sure your pets are happy while you're away, I know how much that peace of mind matters when you're away from your babies! I work remote from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I may have meetings during the week that I can't move, but if time off day for drop-ins or walks is flexible on your side, I can find a time that works. I'd prefer to always do a meet and greet first to know where everything is if I need it -- from leashes and toys to cleaning supplies and emergency contact and vet numbers.
“Charlotte was amazing and took good care of our Badger (1yr rat terrier) when she took her for two daily walks while we were out of town. She was very communicative the whole time and sent plenty of photos and gave us any updates. She also took the time to come meet us the week before so she could get acquainted with Badger and our place. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Erin was phenomenal! She was available last minute which was a lifesaver. She was absolutely wonderful with my dog and gave a very detailed report which helped ease my anxiety.”
“Ilana was amazing!!! I would totally use her again with my fur baby! She alerted me that my dog wasn’t eating her food which is normal when she pours when we leave her but was happy that Ilana was paying her attention and alerting us! She was on time, reliable and trustworthy!”
“Nathan has been walking my dog, Obi, consistently 3 days per week for two weeks and has done a great job! He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.”
“Adriana deserves 1000 stars!! I actually booked a dog walk for someone else - My friend is home with a newborn baby and two rowdy labs so I wanted to get her dogs out of the house for a little to help. Adriana messaged me back immediately and was happy to help! She was incredibly accommodating, professional and asked me all of the important questions so she was prepared when she arrived. She sent photos and handled the two labs wonderfully. The dogs loved her and she absolutely made the new mom's day. I would trust her with my dogs any day. Thank you so much Adriana for your kindness!”
“Elena was amazing with my dog! Not only was she sweet to Josie, but she was communicative, organized, and kind. It made my whole week better knowing that I didn’t have to worry about my dog. I’ll definitely rebook!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets owned by family and friends for over 10years. Specially experienced taking care of senior dogs and cats (meds, special diet) I’m the person who says hi to any dog walking on the street. I took a training course to help anxious dogs. Be sure I’ll take care of your pet as of my own and will send you many pics. Fresh water bowls, refresh litter boxes, food, plays, treats, you name it. I’m near old town Alexandria and while I navigate a career transition (ex federal contractor), I’ll be very happy to take care of your furry babies. I can do overnight stays, or walk them through the day. I love walking and I’ll be happy to take your pup for a walk, play with them, treats, and praise them. I don’t sit on my place as I have a beautiful 13yo cocker spaniel. If you could see my dog, you would know that I’m an animal lover. I have a 13yo cocker spaniel and I know how important is to have someone that takes good care of our pets. I don’t do overnight on my place or bring my dog with me when taking care of another pet. I’ll always walk your dog with a leash, pay attention they don’t eat something they shouldn’t eat on the street, give them their meds, fresh bowl of water, play, praise them for being good pets. I’ll send you photos of your pet to keep you updated.
“Emily is great! Very dependable, communicative and kind. She is our daily dog walker and sometimes house sits when I am out of town as well. I am very thankful that we found her and for all her help.”

Northeast dog parents share their Rover experiences
Albedardo is such a genuine and trustworthy guy! We love him and so do our pups! Our little dogs are like our children so we need to be sure that anyone we entrust their care to is going to treat them with love and kindness. Albedardo does this and then some. Absolutely top class young man, super reliable and flawless communication always keeping us informed of even the tiniest details so that we’re never left wondering how the visit went and how the dogs are doing when we’re not there. Highly recommended!
Ciara has been a regular and longtime dog walker for my dog Bandit, and she is simply outstanding! She is reliable, professional, and clearly cares deeply for animals. My dog is always excited to see her, and I know he's well taken care of in her capable hands. Ciara is communicative, punctual, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets are safe and comfortable. When I was dealing with an intensive work schedule, it was such a relief knowing my dog was with her, and I thank her still for all the support. I highly recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Ann went above and beyond. Bandit was having an off day and there were several unexpected challenges throughout the visit, but she handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Rather than rushing him, she took the time to earn his trust and make sure he was comfortable before heading out. Her communication was excellent, despite me being unavailable to answer questions while I was with my trainer, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Bandit’s wellbeing. I’m incredibly appreciative of the extra effort she put in and would gladly book her again.
Zeynep has been walking our dog, Mischa, for nearly three years now, and is the absolute best!! She is so great with Mischa and is always easy to communicate with, kind, flexible, extremely reliable… the list goes on! She also sends lots of pictures!! We are so grateful for Zeynep, and Mischa absolutely loves her!
Nicole is so, so good with anxious dogs like mine. She has a calm energy but isn’t a pushover. That’s important because anxious dogs need to know that someone is in charge. She totally won Ralphie over. If at first he didn’t want to walk far, she still stayed for the full 30 minutes just to pet and talk to him. After a couple of weeks, he totally trusted her and was much more relaxed about walking further. I really can’t say enough good things about Nicole! Ralphie loves her. She’s a gem.
Erin was fantastic! She was a great communicator, reliable, and updated us following her walk. She gave us peace of mind and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our Thurgie was well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d definitely book with Erin again and highly recommend her to others!
