About: I’ve had animals like dogs and reptiles my whole life. Neighbors and friends have always asked me to help when their animals needed to be taken care of. Taking care of pets can easily fit into my daily schedule. I have two dogs of my own so taking care of a couple extra would be no issue! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. I can care for dogs both at my house and/or the house of a client. My house backs up to a park so I have easy access to a place to walk and play with animals!
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs and have cared for them since I was 10. I love animals and miss being around them since mine are back at home while I’m at college. I am a college student, and have availability certain week days and or nights as well as the weekends in the afternoon and the evenings. Your pets will be supervised at all times during walks and safely taken care of with whatever needs they require. I will walk in safe communities as well.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. I love going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and affection they need. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m available most days and times, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for when their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure each pet gets personalized care based on their personality and needs.
“I appreciate how Teju keeps me updated on each walk, but what’s most impressive is how excited my dog is to see her each day. Her love and care for my dog really shines through and it makes a big difference.”

“Brianne has been great to work with and we use her services every week. I love that she provides a detailed report card and photos for each walk. She's very responsive and wonderful with my dog!”

“Forest was super patient with our dog, Carmela, who tends to be nervous around new people. They were super communicative with me and made sure Carm had everything she needed. Thanks again!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.
“Briar took great care of Junior. In the days that were hot, she found shade and kept him cool and happy playing with water. She also communicated well and followed the instructions we left. We look forward to having Briar care for our pup again.”

About: Hi! I’m Nikki 🐾 I have experience dog, cat, and bird sitting from when I was living in Florida during graduate school, and I grew up surrounded by animals like a playful Schnoodle and a sweet Siberian cat—so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’m so excited to meet more furry friends here in Vienna! I truly love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or just being a calm and comforting presence. Tell me your pet’s favorite toys, games, and daily routines so we can have the best time together 🐶🐱 My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and genuinely loved while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know each one—whether they’re energetic adventurers, cuddle bugs, or laid-back companions. I’d love to build a real bond with your dogs or cats—feel free to reach out anytime! I currently work weekdays from 9 AM–4 PM, but I keep my calendar updated regularly and occasionally have weekday availability as well. On weekends, I usually stay local in Vienna and love staying active, so I’m always happy to make time for dog walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pup whenever I’m not traveling! I offer drop-in visits and walks in clients’ homes and always strive to provide dependable, loving care for every dog I meet. I carefully follow all provided instructions, send timely updates and photos, and make sure to leave each home just as tidy as I found it. Most importantly, I take the time to build a genuine bond with each pup so they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away!

“Destiny is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super responsive and is great walking Biscuit. I was really nervous to use a dog walker for Biscuit for the first time, it was like the first time leaving your newborn with a babysitter. Never should have worried. Destiny took great care of Biscuit, and when I got home, I scheduled the next walk for Biscuit.”

Oakton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our experience with Sarina has been fantastic. She is reliable, punctual, and clearly love animals. Our dog gets excited every time she arrives and we always receive updates and photos after each walk, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker and sitter.

We had an amazing experience with Morgan! She was incredibly patient, attentive, and kind with our 6-month-old puppy, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pup came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for every time. You can tell Morgan genuinely loves dogs and understands puppy behavior. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.

Celeste is wonderful! She communicated well and also agreed to a meet and greet prior to our booking (which we really appreciated and it put us at so much ease). A couple of the days/times I initially requested services for conflicted with her work schedule, but this was easy to rearrange and Celeste was willing to offer different times to look after our dog. Thank you for taking care of our sweet boy while we were traveling for the holidays!

Will was fantastic with our dog Lucy. He made us feel completely at ease knowing she was being cared for at the highest level. Lucy loved him and we enjoyed reading his detailed Rover Cards with great photos. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to all of our friends.

Jae was very courteous, professional, and on time. He asked great questions during our meet and greet and showed great care. We had no worries that he would take excellent care of our dog. Jae also made these adorable magnets of our dog as a gift. Thanks for being a super Rover walker!
