“Erin was so awesome! She was a great communicator, sent great pictures and kept us updated on every visit. She took good care of our pup and made sure she was comfortable and happy!”
About: Hi! I’m a college student at George Mason University studying to become an art teacher, and I’ve been providing dog walking and pet care for multiple families over the past several years. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. My life has always been filled with dogs, making our family complete. I’m a dog owner myself to two German Shepherds and a miniature Dachshund, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes (8–90 lbs) and energy levels. We’re always hiking, exploring new trails, and going on fun outdoor adventures, so whether your dog loves long walks, active play, or a calm stroll, I’m happy to tailor care to their needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’m more than happy to support your dog’s daily routine, provide plenty of exercise, and give them lots of attention and care. I’d love the opportunity to take your pup on an adventure or help you need! I have availability on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 3–5 PM, and I’d love the opportunity to take your pup on an adventure, help out with their routine, and give them plenty of attention and care I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. When walking or caring for dogs, I make sure they are secure on a leash, supervised at all times, and comfortable in their surroundings. I follow each pet’s routine and special instructions carefully, whether it’s mealtimes, medication, or specific behavioral needs. In your home, I maintain a clean and calm environment, ensuring your dog feels safe and at ease. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure interactions with other pets or people are controlled and positive. Whether we’re out on an adventure, enjoying a walk, or relaxing at home, my goal is to build trust, provide attention, and make sure your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away.
“We went away for Spring break and Emelyn came 4 times per day to take care of our foster dogs. 5 puppies and one mom dog. She did great and I was glad to have her helping us!”

I am attentive to your pet and make sure they get lots of playtime and snuggle time. I can take them on walks and play with them in your yard.
“Shena did a great job feeding, entertaining and checking on my kitty. You can tell she really loves animals and takes great care of my cat. I highly recommend her. I have used her services several times and will continue as long as she is available and willing. Thanks for taking good care of Sydney Shena!”

I also administer medications when needed and keep the home clean and secure, providing updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
“As any viewer of Caroline W.'s reviews will see, I'm truly pleased to report she is as fantastic as they read. I could write paragraphs, but I'll highlight what really underscores her excellence. 1. Diligent and Prompt -- Caroline had reached out to me prior to our meet-and-greet and the final key pick-up and drop-offs to check-in and confirm times : this was prior to me doing so and reaching out to her. I had even expressed how this was really a pleasant surprise, and that it spoke volumes of her attention to detail; conversely, her promptness made *me feel like I was just the opposite and not paying close attention! That hasn't happened often in past experiences with many services, so Caroline really made sure we were aligned with appointments for key checkpoints in our set-up and return processes. In addition to her diligence, her promptness was actually mind-boggling. My wife and I were away on vacation, and it was no less than perfect clockwork where I'd see her check-ins literally *on the dot* for the times in the mornings and late afternoons for her visits, dead on the hour: we're not talking 2, 3, 4 minutes late, but perfection nearly every single time, with maybe one starting a *minute after the agreed time? It's ridiculous I'm even writing that last point, but to show how rigorous her punctuality is, it bears mention that Caroline was *this precise to showing up on time, every time, and 100% of the time gave her full allotted visit, with some an extra couple of minutes. Incredibly impressive. 2. Wonderful interactions with our cat -- we were able to see through our home's Ring system Caroline greeting our cat for every visit, especially as the days of our vacation wore on. The fact that Caroline would greet our cat with a clear and welcoming tone and message fit precisely how my wife and I interact with her (our cat), and just hearing the conversations between Caroline and our cat was very comforting: no doubt this "fitting into our patterns" helped with our cat's loneliness and coping with our absence, and that included spending focused time giving her simple company. Fantastic job! And lastly, 3. Being amenable to modifications and a couple of simple related tasks: Caroline was able to care for our "cat grass" and keep it thriving while we were gone, lavishing feedings to our cat when desired (most every visit); she also was able to follow our instructions by text message on how to use our "treat puzzle", since our cat was insistent on "playing it", and I know doing this gave a lot of comfort (and more treats) to our cat, and made my wife and I feel truly glad that Caroline was able to add this adjustment and make our cat feel like things were still as normal as they could be in our absence. With that, I give Caroline my highest recommendation, and can't express enough the value in having her as a drop-in sitter for our cat.”

“Kristin has done a great job with our pup! We're doing everything we can to make sure he's on the right track for success! She is on time, very professional, and our pup likes her a lot! I would recommend her to watch your doggies no problem!”

Purcellville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Meagan is very responsive especially with short notice. She took care of all the specific needs of both our dog and cat while we were out last minute. She was able to help calm our dog during fireworks and made sure they were feeling safe before she left. She sent many pictures and deeply cares about our pets as she would her own. Shes fantastic and I highly recommend her to anyone!
