“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”

“Julie is a very kind and reliable dog sitter! She walked my dog Ivy every week this summer and boarded Ivy in her home for a weekend. She is very responsive to messages and provides detailed Rover card walk recaps. Ivy seems to love her time with her. Thank you, Julie!”

About: I've been pet sitting since age 12, grew up with dogs, and started fostering cats and dogs in college. I have a cat of my own now! I have experience with both puppies and kittens, as well as with senior pets. I have also given oral medications and eye drops, and am comfortable with large and small dogs. I just finished up grad school and am working on job applications, so my schedule is pretty open! I am free any time during the week and on most weekends. I am more than happy to walk your dogs, take them to the dog park, or just hang out with pets who have separation anxiety! I have no problem giving medications of any kind, helping out with training, or keeping senior pets comfortable.
“Christian was an amazing caregiver for our pup while we were gone. She's extremely thoughtful and thorough about getting to know each animal before beginning her time with them, and as a rescue owner I really appreciated that! Will definitely be using her again.”


“Julia is an exceptional dog walker. Her care of our dog is outstanding, from the length of the walks to her following what we have asked of her. And she not only understands her role, but proactively found a replacement for future times she will be unable to walk him. We could not be happier with Julia!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. I have two cats of my own, and I enjoy dog and cat sitting just as much as spending time with my own pets. Since I love going on long walks, I’m the perfect match for dogs who need some exercise. Whether it's a walk, a check in, or overnight, I will make sure your pets get all the love and care they need! I currently work close to full time, but I still have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to other responsibilities. My days are always free until 4pm, and I’m also available later in the evenings. In addition, I’m off every Sunday, which allows me even more time! I will care for your pets with the same love and compassion I give my own. I'm responsible and dependable, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thanks so much to Tracy for all her help. Despite the cold and ice she took care of Sunny every morning. He enjoyed walks with her, playing and she gave him his food and water every morning. He's picky with people since he was adopted and she has been so great with him. Love the photos and updates. Thank you Tracy!”

“Emil is a great dog walker for our needs. We rely on him daily, and never disappoints or doesn't show up. He is a great communicator and is upfront on what he can do. We will continue to book Emil in the future.”

“Lauren is wonderful! She communicates clearly and in a timely fashion. I feel fortunate that she is walks my dogs. I can tell that she cares about doing what is best for them as she really took the time to learn about their quirks. I would definitely recommend Lauren!”

“James has been absolutely incredible! He is very flexible and has been willing to adjust walking times as needed and he is very communicative, always sending pictures and complete updates to let me know how his walks go. He is also amazing with my dog, mindful of when it’s too hot for sidewalk walks or if she has lots of energy and is up for a longer distance that day. We used James all summer and would highly recommend him!”

“Penny was easy to work with and took great care of our dogs. She was very responsive and took extra care with Evie. We’re grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”

“Scott is seriously awesome. He’s my dog’s regular walker but every at the last minute during a weekend he was able to pop over and check on Rooster - I can’t thank him enough. And my dog LOVES him”

About: I treat every pet like my own giving them plenty of care, attention, and love. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, medication, or just company, I make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. My communication is consistent, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes for peace of mind. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. I currently work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility on my off days and most weekends to focus on pets. On the days I’m working, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and some weekend visits, so pets get reliable, attentive care built into my schedule. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, food as instructed, a potty break, and plenty of playtime or cuddles so they feel comfortable while you’re away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks that match your dog’s energy level, making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and a chance to explore while I keep you updated with notes and photos after each visit.

“Kris is professional and my dogs loved her right away. I had a worry free trip knowing Kris was with my dogs. I will definitely use these services again soon.”

“Amy was a fantastic friend to our 10-year old Husky while we were out of town. She frequently went “above and beyond” to assure that She was calm and settled. Our reports were detailed and thoughtful. Additional, she was extremely responsive to us and our dog. We are grateful and recommend her as a thoughtful, caring pet partner!”


About: My name is Kailyn, and I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Having grown up with 3 dogs and 2 cats throughout my childhood, I have been grown up to be a huge animal lover. As an adult, I am lucky to be a cat mama to two beautiful boys, Tito and Cosmo, that I found as strays and have raised from ~6 weeks old. I have 7 years of experience in dog and cat care outside of my home, including puppy, kitten, and senior care, as well as pets that are a bit more anxious (or spicy!) than others. I am convinced that there isn't an animal on this planet that I can't win over. I am well-versed in understanding cues and body language and take pride in my ability to earn an animal's trust through slow and thoughful first interactions. My sister, Avantae, and I also co-own a pet care business and have over 15 years of combined petsitting experience, along with over 10 years of veterinary experience that Avantae brings to the table. Booking with me will always guarantee that you have a relaxing travel experience knowing that your fur baby is in loving and caring hands. Who knows, your pet might have a new best friend by the time you return! Pet care is currently my full time job outside of Rover as well. I have full flexibility to accommodate your pets daytime needs like midday potty breaks, medication administration, etc., as well as plenty of time together in the mornings and evenings. My weekends are typically very relaxed, giving your pet and I extra time to spend getting to know each other. I keep your pet's day-to-day life as normal as possible while you are away. I will collect a detailed schedule prior to booking to make sure we are adhering to what your pet knows best.

About: Hi! I'm Kelsey, and I'm a mid 20s UVA student looking to make a bit of extra money while I get my education degree :) I have lived with both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old and have spent all of high school and college pet sitting. I'm used to specific instructions and special needs, I grew up with dogs that needed both (and a blind cat). I'm just a girl who loves hanging out with animals! I currently do not live with any pets as well :) I am currently a full time student with a flexible schedule! I do not have any pets of my own and have lots of time daily or weekly to meet your pets needs :) I do not offer in home services because I rent in a space where pets are not allowed in my lease, hence why I do not have a pet of my own.

Else was absolutely wonderful!! She was a perfect and great with my two dogs. I have never used rover before, but she was exactly what I had hoped for! She was Punctual, sweet and very responsible. It was a winning combination. I will definitely use her again.!

Maddie has been a great, reliable, responsible, trustworthy dog walker. She is consistent and super sweet to my 4-legged, wild, slightly anxious, sometimes hard of hearing fur baby. She has great communication and has made my life easier knowing my dog is taken care of during the day when I can’t be there! Highly recommend her services! My schedule is changing but I will definitely be a return customer when I need her again. Thanks Maddie!

Thanks so much to Tracy for all her help. Despite the cold and ice she took care of Sunny every morning. He enjoyed walks with her, playing and she gave him his food and water every morning. He's picky with people since he was adopted and she has been so great with him. Love the photos and updates. Thank you Tracy!

Karlee did a great job walking Molly and took great care of her! This was my first time using Rover and Karlee but I will definitely use her again. Karlee was on time and followed instructions very well. The feedback and pictures gave me a sense of comfort and Karlee made it happen!
