Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!

“Reliable, caring, and punctual!” Kimara has been walking Coco weekly and has been absolutely wonderful. She’s always on time, gives updates promptly, and genuinely cares for Coco. I can trust her completely and appreciate her consistency and professionalism. Highly recommended!

About: What sets me apart is my calm and patient nature, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable—especially shy or moody cats. I have hands-on experience training puppies and big dogs, focusing on positive reinforcement and consistency to build good habits. I’m also skilled in senior pet care, understanding the extra attention and gentleness older pets need. Plus, my flexible schedule and ability to quickly get around the city means I’m reliable for last-minute requests and varied needs. Because I create my own schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. This flexibility lets me be available whenever your pets need attention—whether it’s morning walks, evening playtime, or weekend visits. It also means I can take last-minute requests without disrupting my day, so your pets get consistent, reliable care that works around your life and mine. I take pet safety and cleanliness very seriously, whether your pet is in my home or yours. My living space is in a gated community with two nearby dog parks, so your dog can enjoy safe, off-leash playtime in a secure environment. My apartment features a covered balcony with no gaps, perfect for supervised outdoor time without any risk. Inside, I keep things comfortable and cozy with soft carpet, cushioned padding, and plenty of pillows and toys—especially for those who need extra support. Cleanliness is a top priority—I use a steam vacuum regularly, so messes are never a big worry and the space stays fresh and sanitary. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment.

About: Hello! I'm a devoted dog lover who treats every pup like they're my own. There's nothing I enjoy more than showering dogs with affection and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important your furry family member is to you, so I'm committed to following your routines and instructions to a tee. Whether your dog thrives on structure or just needs some extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me. And because I know you'll miss them, I'm happy to send plenty of photos and updates throughout the day so you can see just how much fun they're having! As someone who loves the outdoors and exercise, I'm always ready for long walks or backyard playtime. I genuinely believe every dog deserves daily exercise and enrichment, and I have the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with even the most playful pups. I can't wait to meet your four-legged friend and give them all the care and attention they deserve! I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which makes me ideal for pet parents needing drop-in walks, home visits, or house sitting. I know that boarding facilities aren't right for every pet, so I'm happy to care for yours in the comfort of their own home. With experience handling reactive and special-needs pets, I understand when staying in a familiar environment is the best choice. While you're away, I'll keep your pet's routine consistent and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I keep my calendar updated to reflect my in-office days. I'm typically available on weekends and weekday daytime hours. If you're facing a long workday, a busy weekend, or are concerned about leaving your pet alone for extended periods, I'm happy to help with check-ins and care as needed. I work from home most of the time, which means I have wonderful flexibility to spend quality time with your pup! I'm especially available for late morning and midday visits, so your dog will never have to wait too long between potty breaks, meals, or playtime. I am usually in the office on Wednesdays but I aim to keep my calendar as updated as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I'm naturally cautious and attentive, always thinking ahead to prevent any potential issues before they happen. I've received training in dog body language, so I can usually quickly pick up on when a pup needs space, comfort, or extra playtime. My own reactive, special needs dog has been an incredible teacher. I've learned to be especially mindful during walks and around other people or dogs. I also know that dogs pick up on our energy, so I aim to stay calm and composed in every situation to help your pup feel secure and relaxed.

Leah has been a life saver! Originally, we had booked her for specific days. However, we had to extend last minute and Leah was communicative and flexible within reason. I could tell my fur baby was loved and appreciated by the big old eyes and smile during this time. Couldn’t recommend someone better to care for your furbaby!

About: Hello & welcome! Growing up, I had all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, rodents, reptiles, you name it! I have a very active dog, Rio - he’s a sweetheart & loves making new friends. I can assure you that during your pets stay, they will be cared for as my own. They are able to free roam in the house, have access to a full backyard, taken on walks, rides to the park, and all the cuddles. Hope you like updates, because I send a ton of pictures. I know what it’s like being away from your pet, so the more pictures the better! 🖤 I have experience administering medication if needed, and able to assist senior dogs. I look forward to meeting you & your furry friend. I’m happy to answer any questions and/or meet before the stay. Get $20 off your first stay on Rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/sidnet27669 I work from home on Mondays & Fridays. Tuesday - Thursday I am in office, but able to come home during the day as needed. Rio is very friendly and loves company! He will keep your pup entertained during their stay, and have cozy nights in. We ensure the house is always clean and have in-home cameras to keep an eye on things when away.

About: I have nearly 2 years of experience as a kennel assistant at a Hayfield Animal Hospital caring for dogs, cats, and exotics of all sizes and personalities. I also was a part of the Edison Academy veterinary science class where we provided grooming services to clients. I’ve taken care of my own dog for 8 years and have pet sat for family and friends. I’m reliable, patient, and focused on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also helped train my dog as a puppy and have experience administering medications to pets at my work and will be getting experience as a veterinary assistant this summer. I currently work part-time as a kennel assistant, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to make time to stop by and care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owner is away. As a pre-vet student at Virginia Tech, my passion for animals runs deep. Just as I do with my own dog, in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets have a clean, stress-free environment and would love to keep owners updated with messages and photos!

This was my first experience using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier. Cassie was amazing, and I sincerely hope she is always available to walk/board my Labrador when I need her. From our first meeting I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She is trustworthy, reliable, provides timely communication and was a joy to work with. Rover is very lucky to have her on their team.
