About: Lifelong dog lover with 13 years of experience as a dog mom. This summer my beloved dog passed away. I’m trying Rover because I relied on it so much and life is better shared with a dog! I’ve also been a trusted sitter for friends. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention and companionship all day. From playful pitties to gentle pugs, I adapt to every dog’s needs — long walks, senior care, and medication included. I’ll love your dog like my own! I currently work from home, so have lots of time and flexibility for walks and attention. I work on the computer typically 8am-5pm, but can break during the day and have nights free. I offer dog care in my home in Del Ray. The dog is welcome anywhere in my second floor apartment space (close to exit). I take care to understand routines to set the dog up for success (feeding times, exercise, sleeping, etc.).
“I'm so happy Jackson was available to walk my dog while I was gone. He was very responsive and reliable. He sent detailed info after each walk, including pictures. I was worried about having to leave my dog but Jackson's messages and reliability made me feel much better. He was on time and followed the things we had discussed in terms of feeding, walking time, treats, etc.”


About: Life long dog owner with experience and reliability. I currently have an 8 year old medium-sized Goldendoodle named Simon. He’s my best bud and is always ready for a walk or car ride for any adventure. I’ve owned several types of dogs throughout my life such as labradors, Lhasa Apsos, basset hounds, and mix breeds. I believe daily exercise and interaction is essential for dogs and it brings me so much joy to interact with a dog. I have experience with all dog sizes and have trained several puppies over the years. I’m very comfortable with older dogs as well and can give them medication if required. Since retiring from the Air Force a couple of years ago I spend my late afternoons and evenings coaching soccer. That means I have a good amount of free time during the late mornings and early afternoons to walk your dog or just give them a visit. I will take the upmost care for your dog during walks and closely monitor their behavior and interactions with others to ensure they enjoy their exercise and time outside.
“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.”

“Thomas was so quick to respond to every question, and very flexible. Our big girl is nervous, but Thomas did a wonderful job gaining her trust and was so patient with her. Will definitely book again!”

“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!”

“Emily was a pleasure to meet and Rolo instantly liked her! Walked around the block with no issues and Rolo was happy after their walk. Very easy to coordinate with. Would highly recommend!”

“Great walker for my rambunctious Sadie Lady! Wonderful communication, and very reliable. I would recommend Elena and Cesar in a heartbeat”

“Ilana has been walking our dog for about a year and has also hosted him overnight for a few days. We recently moved out of the neighborhood and will miss Ilana dearly! Our dog looked forward to seeing her every week and always comes back very happy from his walks with her. We are so grateful for Ilana and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter or walker.”

About: Haven’t had a beat of my heart without a dog in my life. We love to travel and know the stress and anxiety associated with leaving your pup, just want to be on here to make your doggo feel safe, secure, and loved. I work from home (stay at home dog dad) so there won’t be a moment your dog is out of my sight. Or we can just lounge if they would prefer. I’m my dog’s best friend. You can ask him. He might even get jealous with the amount of attention I give your pooch (he always gets over it)
“Adriana took care of our pups when we decided to take an impromptu trip out of the country! Her calm and warm demeanor made us feel totally at ease while abroad because we knew the gals were in the best of hands! She even left us the cutest note and Polaroids which will now be framed! Cannot wait to use her services again — she was truly a godsend.”

“Alaina was amazing with Margie. She took the time to meet her before taking on spending time with Margie. Highly appreciate the above and beyond approach. Margie was super happy and I was at ease all day.”

“My husband and I just brought home our puppy. Sarah was incredibly kind in our adjustment with Emmy, including helping carry her down the stairs to potty (our building doesn’t have an elevator and Emmy is still learning to walk up and down steps because they have large openings in the stairs). Sarah provided wonderful notes and pictures to help us feel more at ease during our first days back to work while having Emmy.”

Nolan has been providing regular walks for my two hounds. They each have their quirks and he has been super communicative and willing to provide them the best care. Also his schedule has been flexible and he is very easy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!

Melati is a wonderful dog walker and I highly recommend her. She is kind, attentive, and truly thoughtful. During our initial meeting, she asked detailed questions to ensure my dog would receive the best possible care. My dog is usually pretty anxious, but he cozied right up to her. She made sure my dog got great exercise, as he’s always happily tired when he gets home. Melati kept me up to date on everything while she was with him. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely recommend her!

Jessica has been walking my 2 year old dog and 3 month old puppy for a while now and she’s been absolutely fantastic! She’s always very responsive with me, kind and patient with the dogs, and someone I would definitely someone I would recommend to my family and friends!

Morgan is amazing! My dogs loved her as soon as she entered my home for a meet and greet and she’s been so great with them since. I appreciated that she took notes on their behaviors and any instructions we gave her. She’s been punctual and communicative and it gives me such peace of mind to know that my dogs are in good hands each week. Highly recommend!
