About: I have helped my mom run a pet sitting business in high shcool! I’ve been around animals my whole life from small to giant size. I will run and play ball with your dog and am not afraid to get slobbery! I have a great sense and understanding of animal behavior. Also due to my job and college degree in psychology I am experienced and knowledgeable in ABA training. So I would love to assist in training appropriate behaviors in a puppy or an older dog with behavioral issues so that I myself can grow and learn as well as your dog. Animals are my passion and joy in life and I believe they will love me just as much as I’ll love them! I’m currently a home maker so I will be home full time with your pet and available all times of day for walks and visits. I have a 3 year old and an infant that will accompany during visits and walks. They are very gentle and friendly with pets as we have had many animals in their life. I have a fenced in yard but we also going on daily family walks. We have two dogs who are very friendly and two cats who typically stay hidden during the day.

“Katherine has been wonderful with my stubborn Pitt Bull, Angel. It’s clear she has experience with dogs—Angel tries to pull her around, but Katherine handles her like a pro, always staying calm and in control. She’s sweet, attentive, and genuinely cares about Angel. I’m really glad I found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled dog walker.”

“Angela was punctual, patient, kind to my dog, took a ton of pictures, and helped me with Rover booking issues. I will request her services again, for sure.”

“Top of the charts, look no farther, this is your guy for any service he provides. We will 100% work with Alan again and will recommend him to our family/friends that could use his services. Alan is super professional, always on-time and did right by our dog. Alan walked our dog 2-3 times a week over a period of a few months. Over the months that passed, he was always flexible if needed on my end, was quick to respond to messages and is just a good person. Our dog can overheat pretty easy and one day while waiting for our boy to get back I saw Alan carrying him in his arms up the street. He didnt have to do what he did, but he forever indebted himself to us due to that act of profound kindness. Thank you my friend for helping take care of our boy, all the best to you!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and helped my mom with pet sitting when I was just a kid! Since then, caring for pets has become second nature to me. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter and have been for over two years, where I have gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including shy rescues, playful puppies, and senior pets who need a little extra love and patience. I truly treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away or whenever you need! I am currently only working part time on the weekends, so I will be available on weekdays from 9AM to 10PM. I am very flexible and I can accommodate if needed! When I’m in your home, I always treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s routine. I am very attentive to pet’s needs when it comes to both dog walking and pet sitting.

“Karen brings her son and the two of them take my pup out every day. She obviously has fun and they are really good to her. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always loved taking care of my neighbors dogs along with my own so I believe that a dog walker/sitter on rover will be the perfect fit. I have experience with handling all types of dogs including puppy’s and seniors. I should be free any day of the week and if something does happen to come up I will let you know far in advance. Whether it is walking your dogs around the block or watching them until their family comes back, I will always be alert and pay attention to the dog’s needs.

“Amazing experience from the beginning! Suzanna was friendly, attentive and communicative. She was extremely patient with Tucker even when he didn’t want to walk and always made sure he was comfortable before leaving. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be reaching out to her again for sure!”

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to care for your wonderful pets. This will be the main job I am working this summer, so there are few scheduling conflicts. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.
