“Tali had a great walk with Maggie! I appreciated that she came over to meet Tali earlier in the week before the walk and Tali loved her instantly. She was flexible with some time changes and kept me updated after the walk sharing lots of pictures. Will absolutely continue to have Maggie walk my pup!”

“Eva is amazing!! She did such a great job with my new puppy. She took her for a walk, played with her, and was very thorough in following her care instructions. Would highly recommend!”

“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!”

“John did a great job taking Moira out, thanks so much! I ended up needing a dog walker last minute this morning and he was very flexible in being available for us. Thanks again!”

About: I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs and cats, as well as reptiles (I even have one of my own, his name is Ollie)! I have experience with administering oral, topical and subQ medication as well as things like inhalers. In addition to feeding the pets, walking dogs and changing cat litter, I particularly love just spending time with your pups and kitties and giving them whatever they need to be happy. I could spend hours brushing cats or dogs and routinely give baths for my puppy, Samoa. I’m a big cuddler but also love a good hike in the forest. I am home for the summer after graduating college and will be attending veterinary school at VMCVM in the fall! Animals are my whole life so besides also working at the VEG ER for Pets in Falls Church this summer I would love to get some more pet time by doing Rover :) I have worked as a Veterinary Nurse for the last 4 years, including 1.5 at a high-volume emergency hospital. I am certified in pet CPR and first aid, and have loads of experience administering medication (oral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, etc.). I also always say that if I wasn't going into vetmed I would have wanted to be a professional groomer - I looove giving a good spa day! Other than that, I’m great at being punctual and will make sure everything your pet needs will be at the right time, place, and the right thing. Both my work experience and my passion for vetmed fuel me to make sure your kiddos have the best experience possible, whether it’s walking, dropping in or overnight stays!
“Daniel was great! He was super reliable, communicative, and made my dog comfortable. He prioritized good, long walks which was exactly what I asked for. Would have him back again!”

“Shereen is awesome! I love her approach to meeting, she really demonstrates genuine care for the family and my fur babies. Prompt and unmatched attention to detail. I appreciate Shereen and would recommend her over and over again.”

About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.
“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.”

“Amanda is incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and such a dog person. Rosie was in love with her at first sight. Lucky to have her as part of my "dog team."”


About: I am a School Counselor in the area, and while I am currently enjoying the summer break, I have full-time availability to ensure your dog has a consistent, attentive, and fun-loving companion while you're away! I grew up in a multi-dog household and helped raise our two family Schnauzers: a 15-year-old senior and a 7-year-old. Caring for them through every life stage gave me a deep understanding of canine needs. I am particularly "senior-savvy"; I’m comfortable with slow-paced routines, mobility support, and the extra patience that older pups require. I know how important peace of mind is. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you know exactly how your pup is doing I’m based in Arlington and love staying active. Whether it’s a long walk through the neighborhood or just hanging out at home, I treat every dog with the same care and responsibility I’ve practiced throughout my career and life! As a school counselor, I have my entire summer break dedicated to providing high-quality care. This allows me to offer a highly consistent and flexible routine that centers entirely around your dog’s needs. Whether they require frequent potty breaks, mid-day exercise, or medication at specific intervals, I have the time and professional mindset to ensure their schedule remains uninterrupted while you are away. Drawing from my professional background, I am an expert at reading non-verbal cues and body language. I use these skills to monitor your dog's comfort levels, ensuring they never feel overwhelmed. In your home, I strictly follow your established house rules and security protocols to ensure your pet feels safe in their familiar territory. You can expect frequent photo updates and clear communication, so you always feel connected to your pup. Whether I am managing a high-energy walk or assisting a senior dog with mobility, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.
About: I have taken care of my family, friends and neighbor's animals since I was in middle school. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bearded dragons, fish and birds. I am currently in college and can take care of your pet during my breaks (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer), as well as, on the weekends. I will follow the instructions you provide for care of your pet very closely and will observe and care for your pet to insure his/her wellbeing.
“Melanie was so great with my dog! She was a huge help to me the week I had a million things going on and I would love to use her services again in the future. Thank you Melanie for being caring and flexible!”


About: Whether your dog or cat loves long walks, playtime, or extra patience and cuddles, I provide safe, loving care with updates that keep pet parents completely at ease! I am currently on summer break from my PT program and would love to help part-time for any pet sitting or dog walking needs throughout the summer. I can come to your home and help in any capacity! Whether that’s a walk during the day, feeding times, or just a daily check-in, I can absolutely be available.
“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”

Penrose dog parents share their Rover experiences
Another great experience with Laurie walking my senior pup Troy. Highly responsive, shared detailed walk notes with photos, arrived exactly on time as scheduled, and overall gave me confidence my boy was in great hands. Will use her again as needed and highly recommend her.

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.

Kyle is awesome! From the very first meet-and-greet, he and my dog got along right away. He makes every walk fun and engaging, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. My dog is always excited to see him, and I have complete confidence that he’s in great hands. I would definitely hire Kyle again and highly recommend him as a dog walker.
