“Anna successfully walked our ultra-shy dog! She's very responsive and followed my excessively detailed instructions. We're definately booking more walks with her (:”

“Catherine did a great job walking my dog while I was unable to walk her due to an injury. She is very nice and I can tell that my dog loves her!”

“Riley was fantastic! We are new at this (first family dog) as we have a puppy and Riley was a huge help to jump in at the last minute. She was kind enough to fit us in her already tightly booked schedule as we were in a huge bind! She updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Thanks Riley!! We will definitely contact her again!”

About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!

“Lisa is an excellent dog walker! She was prompt and took Tut on a long walk for an hour where he was able to burn some energy and then relax/nap afterwards till I got home from work. Will definitely work with her again”

About: I love dogs and I’ve always have for most of my life. I provide elite care and stability for you and your fur baby. I take great pride in my work. I’m pretty flexible, I just would like a notice prior to when I’m needed. I cooperate with most schedules and I’m willing to work around different times. I have a back fence and gates inside my home if needed and I abide by everything in my limits in the clients home to make sure the pets and environment is safe.

“Hannah took the time to come and meet our dog prior to walking him for the first time. Really appreciated her going above and beyond! She has a great personality and communicates well!”

Joshua B.

“Devinder is great with my dog. He takes the time to connect with Baloo and gives him the mid-day attention and care needed while I'm at work. Devinder is very reliable and is very good at communicating. I would highly recommend!”

About: I've never not had animals in my life! I spent my early years on a working farm and have always had a way with animals. Dogs love me (cats, too!) and I them ❤️ I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and know what to do in emergencies. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. I do work away from home for 5-8 hours a day, split shift. I have dogs amd cats but can keep them separate, if necessary. My dogs are dog friendly, although my beagle mix is very bossy (typical!) Dogs will be in the house with my dogs, but they can be separated, if needed. I can crate, if the parents supply the crate. Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!

About: I live in Richmond , VA and I am a freelance writer who loves caring and playing with dogs of any breed or size. I grew up caring for rescue animals, and now I have rescue babies of my own. Harper is a German Shepherd /Sheltie mix. And I have 3 cats Zelda, Banksy, and Swayze. While in my care, your babies will be well cared for and will have plenty of fun and exercise with walks and playtimes. I work from home so my time is flexible to check-in and give your pups plenty of love, walks and play time whenever they need it. I treat your fur babies exactly as I do my own so they will be extremely well-cared for with plenty of attention, cuddles, and anything that they need from me.

“Sidney is awesome!!”

About: Im a registered nurse who loves my fur babies. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 30 years. I have four rescue dogs of my own which I love and adore. I’ve had a total of 16 dogs and three cats. My neighbors trust and call on me to care for their pets when they are out of town. I would love to care for your fur babies when your away. I am happy to be available for drop ins and dog walks in the early mornings and late evenings, as well as most weekends and holidays. I also use Rover for my pet sitting needs. I am happy to care for your cute pets like they are my own. I will feed, play, and exercise your fur babies with love.

“Kiki had the best time with Janini. Pick and drop off was perfect, she was nice and sleepy when she got home. She can’t wait for her next visit with Mrs Janini!!”

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”

About: I’m new to Rover sitting so I don’t have any rescues yet, but I’m not new to pet sitting. I’ve had furry (scaled and feathered!) friends around me my whole life, from cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and even birds. I also have experience with caring for sugar gliders, ironically. I’ve worked as a pet uber, and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities, from shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to goofy adventurers. I love them all! Let me love on your baby. I am currently an online psychology masters student and substitute teacher. Since my recent medical retirement from the military, my schedule’s become flexible, which means more walks, belly rubs, and playtime for your pets! I am willing to do meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines, or will accept any detailed written/typed outlines of care requests. You name it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby.

About: I love being an auntie to actual kids and fur-kids! Happy to pop in to visit and take your doggo for a walk. Most of my experience comes from medium to small dogs. My current schedule has flexibility in the mornings on week days and Mondays and Fridays. It’s subject to change but let me know what works for you! If I’m coming to your home, I’ll treat it with care and as a guest - with respect and attention to what your pet needs.

“Bruce is great. He showed up minutes before the appointed time to be certain he was not late. He thrilled the dogs with their first ride in a convertible. He sent plenty of pictures including those that look like the dogs are smiling ear to ear. He was prepared with water during the walk and gave them breaks to rest from the heat. Our yellow lab is usually restless and constantly pulling my husband but she behaved for Bruce. I would highly recommend him.”
