“I’ve had Christopher walk my English cocker spaniel a few times now and I still have nothing but good things to say. He’s attentive, he gives her good exercise, and he’s almost always available. When something seems off about her, he lets me know. He’s a really caring, great person, and I HIGHLY recommend.”
“So super happy with having Vanessa as Simon’s new walker. Arrived right on time as scheduled my pal was able to go out midday and stretch his legs/do his business. Highly recommend & definitely re booking!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and dogs from puppies to seniors (small and medium breeds). I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior needs, and always focused on maintaining routine, safety, and comfort. What sets me apart is my calm energy, reliability, and clear communication. I treat every pet with genuine care and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I currently have availability during evenings and weekends, and I’m committed to giving pets my full attention during that time. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — I plan ahead, maintain structure, and prioritize consistency to ensure every pet receives dependable, attentive care. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm apartment with my two senior cats, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle care. In my client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and provide regular updates for peace of mind. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a secure environment, and treated with the same care and respect as my own.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule! I am a full time student at GMU but my classes are spread out so I have a lot of time to work with. I’m very willing to work something out to ensure your fur babies get good care. I will respect your home and house rules when dropping in or taking the pets for walks. I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
“Taylor has been incredible with Benji and super communicative with me while I transitioned back to the office full-time! He can be a bit shy around new people and she was so patient with him every time she came to get him for his walk. She knows exactly what needs and makes sure he feels supported and happy on their daily walks. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who lives in the area!!”
“Erin has provided daily mid-day walks for my senior beagle mix, Amigo, for more than a month now. She is utterly reliable, punctual, organized, friendly, and simply a joy to work with. Erin is kind and affectionate my dog, and he adores her. She has a wealth of experience in caring for pets and gave me great ideas that I hadn't thought of for making things run smoothly, such as getting a lock box for the house key as well as advice on comforting a dog who's alarmed by thunder and other loud noises. She is a smart, polished professional and the ideal person to hire to care for your beloved pet.”
“Ciara did a great job walking and feeding our dog Skippy. He is finicky eater and she got him to eat all his chow. She definitely has a way with animals. I highly recommend her services.”
“Denisa was extremely helpful, understanding, and loving 🥰. She went above and beyond to ensure I was receiving text messages during my trip where I didn’t have access to Wi-Fi. I had a very relaxing vacation time knowing my furry child was in great hands! She also used her language skills to communicate with my mom, who doesn’t speak English, and maintained open communication regarding schedule changes and other challenges we faced. My child is one of those stubborn ones, however, she did what a good pet sitter would do, but she added love ❤️, fun and joy to Polito’s potty time. Every picture and video she shared, showed a super excited and happy child! I highly recommend her! 🥰🐶💕🐾”
“William was great! He was reliable, flexible, understanding, patient and very nice. He did great with my two dogs. One of them requires special attention during walks. Will did exceptional. Definitely will be telling my family and friends about him so they can use him too, I know I will be! Thanks again William!”
“Kelsey has been absolutely amazing! We have been renewing her services every week because our pup loves her and has a blast on their walks. She has been so responsive and receptive to what we're looking for and just an overall joy to work with. If you're looking for someone reliable that your pets will love, look no further. Thank you, Kelsey!”
About: My spouse and I have been taking care of our family pets and pet-sitting for neighbors since we were kids! I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rodents to cats to corgis to german shepherds and more! Currently, we are in the process of training a service dog and raising our cat mandy. When my wife was in high school, they worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and learned a lot about pet care there. We are excited to meet and take care of your fur babies! I currently work from home so we are able to take care of your pets whenever they need throughout the day! We have a dog of our own, so they can have a playmate and we have a big yard for them to run around in. At our home, we have a large fenced in yard for pups to play, as well as lots of toys and treats. At your home, we will be sure to follow any and all instructions you provide for taking care of your pet as well as your home!
“If I could give Emily and Ben 10 stars I would. I chose them mostly due to the positive reviews they had and level of experience. We have 3 big dogs (2 of our own and a foster) and a bunny named Pete. It is hard to find experienced bunny sitters, and I didn't even realize Emily had rabbit experience when I hired her. They took phenomenal care of oir dogs. Frequently sending pictures and taking them on good long walks. But what I really want to highlight is how above and beyond they went for my rabbit Pete. They quite literally saved his life!! We went away for the 3 day labor day weekend and were on our way home, about 2 hours out when Emily texted me with an update on Pete. He didn't hop over to greet her in the morning like normal, he didn't even get up. He wouldn't eat his pellets and didn't even want the apple treat she offered. It would be easy to write this behavior off coming from a rabbit unless you knew better and Emily did. If rabbits go into GI stasis (essentially their GI tract shuts down) they can die within 24 hours. It was morning so it was quite possible it had been 12 hours already of GI stasis. On one of the busiest weekends for travel and thus animal care for them, they rushed Pete 30 minutes away to the only ER for exotic pets open in the area that I could find. They stayed there with him until my neighbor arrived to stay with him until I could get there. She was in constant contact with me the whole time. I am happy to report that after 24 hrs in the ER and several days of extensive at home care Pete went on to make a full recovery! GI stasis is one of the most, if not the #1 killer of domestic rabbits. Pretty much anything can cause it. Stress, heat, injury, underlying medical condition, infection, etc... We don't know yet what caused his stasis, but I fully credit Emily and Ben with saving my bunnies life. I will be recommending her to everyone I know. And anytime we need a sitter I know our fur babies couldn't be in better hands!”
“Melissa has been wonderful with our pups! She sends lots of pictures and happy little updates. I felt so comfortable with her and knowing our pups were safe in her care.”
“Stephanie was great! Super flexible with my last minute request and arrived right on time. My pup was pleased when he returned from his nice long walk and so was I. Thanks for an awesome first Rover experience Stephanie!”

Ariana was fantastic! I was watching my friends dog and she is such a scared dog. She really worked with her and while she couldn’t get her out on the first walk to no fault of hers she took such care of her and it was truly sweet to see that by the end she let her pet her and no issues when she came to walk her and Ali again.
Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.
Stephen did a great job on his first walk with Ana and Elsa! He was punctual, attentive, and made sure they were comfortable right away. It’s always a bit nerve wracking trusting someone new, but he handled everything with care and professionalism. We’re very happy and look forward to more walks with him!
Christopher has been an absolute blessing as our dog walker. He is attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about fur baby he works with you. I can tell this isn’t just a task for him, it’s something he takes pride in. He communicates clearly, gives consistent updates, and always makes me feel at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. Reliability matters a lot to me, and Christopher shows up dependable every time. He notices little behavior changes, respects routines, and handles my dog with calm confidence. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet with the same level of consideration you would yourself, but he truly does. I highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog walker.
