“We could not have dreamed of a better walking experience for our Skye than Amy’s sniffaris with him during the past two weeks! She also was excellent at providing daily pictures and updates, and provided a great sense of relief for us while we were out of the country. His safety and comfort during our trip was our biggest worry and that anxiety left us when we booked Amy. We just knew he would be provided with the best care.”


About: I’m a warm, friendly, and dependable pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young, and friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra attention and cuddles. I have open availability during the summer (June 13–August 10), which allows me to provide flexible visits, walks, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the day. During the rest of the year, I’m available before 7:30 AM and after 3:30 PM on weekdays, with additional flexibility on weekends. I’m reliable and committed to making sure your pet gets consistent care, exercise, and love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. I always supervise interactions and make sure every pet feels safe and at ease. I treat every pet like my own and create a calm, loving environment while you’re away.
“Tamara is absolutely incredible. We have been though a couple of walkers (they’ve been great too) however, Tamara is amazing. She goes above and beyond. She spends time working with my pup, communicates and gives helpful suggestions on how to get my pup to lower his anxiety. If I could give her 6 stars, I WOULD! Highly recommend!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life and love all animals. I work at a local dog boarding and doggy daycare facility so I have lots of experience with all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own and give them all the pets and playtime they need! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to drop in and care for your dog(s) or take them for a walk. I’m local to the South Riding/Stone Ridge area. I will always make sure to treat your home with respect and care while dropping in with your dogs or taking them for their daily sniff around the neighborhood! I’m great at following instructions so I can care for your dogs the way you want them cared for.
“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”

“Best dog walker/sitter out there. Daphne goes above and beyond when taking care of my pup. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care services!”

“Becky does an amazing job with caring and walking my dog. She took time to learn his daily walk routine and how to best handle him. She’s very personable and kind and I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Ashley was fantastic! She was available for a last minute walk, and did such a great time with Lincoln - she was patient and helped him get some much needed outside time! Thank you Ashley!”

“Sabrila is super punctual and always smiling. Charlie warmed up to her quickly and is enjoying his time walking with Sabrila. She took him out in less than ideal weather and kindly dried him off afterwards.”


About: I have extensive experience with senior dogs and administering medication. I had a dog for 13 years and want to give the same level of care I gave to him. I am currently a future masters student that is home for the summer and missing my usual time with animals! This means that my schedule is super flexible to the care if your pet! I can easily enter house with pets of any energy level, being sure they remain safe inside when required! I make sure that every pet is is satisfied and every door is locked when leaving to make sure you pets stay safe and happy while you are away!
About: Welcome Neighbor! 🐾 I'm happy to offer our space for your pup while you're away! Please note that while I mostly work from home I am required to go in office on THURSDAYS. My schedule is 8AM - 5PM. If you are scheduling a drop-off or pick-up on a Thursday it would need to be at 6PM or later. We have one senior dog with us who is gentle but prefers to keep to himself, he is typically hanging out with my husband in his office during the day. I do not board more than one dog at a time. Our condo is on the second floor, small patio space. Potty breaks occur at least 3 times a day with daily walks included. In our initial contact please specify if you require a meet and greet. I will take the time to read through your care details and may ask a few questions to ensure it is an all around good fit. Updated vet information is important to me, please have this visible on your profile if we do decide to book together. Look forward to speaking with you! I’m pretty flexible, I work from home (some weeks I will be required to go into the office either on a Tuesday or Thursday) so I will be available during the day to attend to the needs of your pet in the morning/mid-day/evening. The answers to this question are answered in my main description, feel free to ask questions in our initial contact if anything needs more clarification.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was little. Starting with my first dog King, and my childhood dog Dodger. My boyfriend and his family also rely on me to take care of their Husky when they are at work and out of town. I have experience, walking, feeding, and giving baths to different size dogs. I truly enjoy what I do and love all animals. I am currently a college student, and when classes start most of mine will be online. I am available starting at 9 AM Monday through Friday. I have experience crating dogs if needed as well as having them out in the house. I make sure they get all of their energy out and take them out just in case they need to use the restroom before I put them in the crate. I’ll give them plenty of attention and play time. I can stick to whatever walk schedule you prefer!

“Cecelia & Andrew are the best!! They go above and beyond on walks with my girl - often spending more time with her than requested. They play with her, give her lots of love, and take her on special outings to get a pup cup! They always leave a thorough report with pics and videos too! Highly recommend 👌🏻”

About: My family has always loved animals - I have taken care of quite a variety (cats, dogs, horses, and chickens!) since I was 6 years old. I can't wait to welcome your pet into our loving home - my goal is to make them comfortable, happy, and feel as loved as they do in their own home. My husband and I both work from home, so I'm able to give your pet lots of love and attention throughout the day. We will take regular walk and potty breaks, and when we're not outside they are welcome to curl up by our feet or follow us around the house. We are a loving home that will strive to meet your pets specific needs. I believe in routine, and will do my best to ensure that while your pet stays with us, they know what to expect and when.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for years, and I’ve spent extensive time caring for our family’s Jack Russell Terrier, helping with everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding, supervision, and maintaining routines. Through that experience, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and set of needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks and playtime or a senior dog who prefers a calmer pace, I adapt my care to fit each pet’s individual routine and temperament. I live in a spacious home in South Riding with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play, and receive individualized attention. The layout of the home also allows dogs to be comfortably separated when needed, helping ensure a safe and stress-free experience for everyone. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own and provide owners with complete peace of mind through attentive care, clear communication, and regular photo updates throughout their stay. Because I spend much of my time at home, pets receive frequent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, allowing me to provide a high level of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Because I spend most of my time at home, pets are rarely left alone and receive frequent potty breaks, walks, play sessions, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I maintain a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of feeding routines, exercise needs, medication schedules, and special requests. I keep my Rover calendar updated and pride myself on quick communication, reliability, and regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing. Safety, comfort, and personalized care are my top priorities. I live in a spacious 4,000+ square foot single-family home in South Riding with multiple living areas, a large finished basement, deck, patio, and plenty of room for dogs to relax and feel at home. The layout of the house allows me to comfortably separate dogs when needed, making it a great fit for pets who prefer their own space or require individualized care. I also have experience caring for our family’s Jack Russell Terrier and understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog enjoys social interaction or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their needs. Dogs are always supervised during outdoor time and are never left unattended outside. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication requirements, and sleeping preferences to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. In addition to supervised time at home, I have access to beautiful neighborhood walking paths and nearby parks throughout South Riding, providing dogs with safe exercise, mental stimulation, and outdoor enrichment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home and pets with the same respect and attention I would my own. Owners can expect regular photo and video updates throughout every stay for complete peace of mind.
“Alexis was wonderful to work with. She sent me pics of my Mandy during their walks and she was very accommodating when I missed my flight and needed her for an additional walk. I would definitely use her again.”

South Riding dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shelby has been a great dog walker for our two dogs. She walked our dogs while we were traveling and took them for long walks, gave them each specific medications, and alerted us when there was weather that could stress the dogs. She went above and beyond multiple times including to give them Benadryl before storms to help ease anxiety based on our instructions. She’s always responsive and communicative. We appreciate her taking such good care of our dogs!

Ivy was the absolute BEST dog walker for my young puppy for 3 consecutive weeks. My puppy loves her and felt safe with her. Ivy is very communicative and will take the cutest pictures of your pups while she’s with them. We can’t wait to rebook with her when she is back home from university. Thank you Ivy!

Tamara is absolutely incredible. We have been though a couple of walkers (they’ve been great too) however, Tamara is amazing. She goes above and beyond. She spends time working with my pup, communicates and gives helpful suggestions on how to get my pup to lower his anxiety. If I could give her 6 stars, I WOULD! Highly recommend!

I appreciate Eden‘s adaptability and care for our dogs. We had a glitch with our digital keypad that prevented her from getting into the house on time. She went above and beyond trying to reach me. Unfortunately, I was somewhere without a signal. Nevertheless, when we did connect, Eden came through, taking care of our dogs like a hero.
