“Anika is great! I had some issues at work this week that I wasn’t able to be by my phone and she was able to creatively find a solution so my pup could have a walk and visit with her. We are eternally grateful!”

“Thank you for walking him! I loved all the pics you provided as well. It’s not you! we’ve been working on the potty outside but he’s on his own agenda lol i appreciate it! let’s try again tomorrow if you’re free? same time?”


About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Dogs were always part of our home growing up, and honestly they're just my people. When I recently moved for grad school, I couldn't have a dog, and dang am I missing them! So let me take all that energy and pour it straight into your pup. I have great availability right now and am super flexible with scheduling. Whether your pup is a chill stroller or a total puller, I love them all and will take great care of them! 🐾 I currently have a lot of availability and am very flexible with timing. Feel free to reach out and we can find something that works perfectly for you! When it comes to your home, I pay very close attention to detail and treat every space with a ton of care and respect. Your home is in good hands!
“Reached out to Melanie late the night before I had to go out of town to see if she could come walk Charlie. She quickly responded and came to walk Charlie. From the photos I received all had a great time.”


“Jennifer came through for Dani while I was away and provided great communication and photos to make sure my baby was taken care of! I know Dani is in good hands with her”

“I got SO lucky finding Stacie! She’s an incredibly kind person clearly loves dogs! My pup, Zoey, came back from a long walk happy but tired, and Stacie clearly made Zoey feel so comfortable being around her since day 1! I’ll be using Stacie many more times in the future.”

“Renee was very accommodating and thoughtful with a last minute request to watch my dog while I had to be out of town. She made this process seamless as it was my first time using Rover. She sent photos after each walk and my dog seemed to really like her. I’d definitely use her services again!”


“Caroline was awesome and despite a hiccup with a new apartment walking situation and my lack of answering the phone she stayed and figured it out. I’m super grateful and will absolutely be reaching out again.”


“Grace was great with our pup Beacon. She was very patient with him and can tell she truly loves dogs. She took him on a good walk and provided us with plenty of updates. We look forward to having Grace walk Beacon in the future!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. My family has had our dog, Othello (a schnauzer mix), since 2013, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for at home. In 2019, I also helped co-parent and train a pitbull named Bella, where I focused on reinforcing good behavior, consistency, and building trust. That experience taught me patience and how to understand a dog’s needs and personality. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive, calm, and reliable. I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and cared for, and I always treat them with the same level of attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially since I’m currently finishing college online, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to plan my day around walks, check-ins, and feeding times without feeling rushed. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to adjust to different schedules depending on the pet’s needs. I also make sure to leave enough time between commitments so I can give each pet my full attention and provide consistent care. I take pet care seriously and treat it as a real responsibility, so you can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. When caring for pets, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that matches what they’re used to. I take the time to understand their routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific behaviors or needs, so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and in order. I follow all instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, safe, and secure at all times. I’m also very attentive to small details, like making sure doors and gates are properly closed, pets are not exposed to anything unsafe, and their environment stays clean especially with things like food areas and litter boxes. Communication is really important to me, so I always send regular updates and photos to keep pet owners informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to make sure both the pet and the owner feel completely comfortable and at ease.

“Kahealani has been amazing with Deja these past few days. She truly cares about your dog and takes such great care of them. She’s also good at updating you about how your dog is doing. Her communication is 10/10! Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“My experience with Brooke was outstanding. She provided wonderful care for my dog while I was out of town. I will book with Brooke again and again five star all the way. Great communication and reliable, response to any questions or concerns quickly.”

“I’m so pleased with how Jazmyn took care of my pup. She communicated frequently and was super responsive to my needs. He warmed up to her very quickly. I will be booking her for weekly walks and drop-ins.”

About: Hi there! I’m a graduate student at Emory and am the proud guardian of Huxley (a chihuahua mix) and Chewy (an Australian shepherd mix) for the past 6 years. I was a regular house/pet sitter in my hometown with various breeds of dogs (big and small) as well as cats. I have been on Rover for several years and have made several long lasting relationships with clients looking for dependable pet care. My previous and current experiences with animals as well as my love for them makes me the best option for care of your pet while you are away! I will be off from school/work for all of July and early August so I can make my schedule meet you and your pets needs! Your pet will be my priority. From cuddles all day, playing with their favorite toy, walks at any hour, or check ins while you’re away - I’m your girl! My partner and I live in an apartment close by to several parks. I am experienced with pups who have leash aggression, so walks can be one on one or with our little pack. Your pet will always have company in our home! Pursuing a graduate degree has given me skills that make me an excellent choice to watch over your pet: well organized, dependable, flexible schedule, patient, trustworthy, and a planner. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I will have July and early August off from school so I will be home full time! My partner and I have 2 dogs so we are used to the daily routine of pet care and would love to include your fur baby! With my free schedule I’ll be able to spend quality time with your pet and am very flexible with scheduling to your pets needs. I live in an apartment with my partner and 2 dogs (one 16lv and one 55lb). Since we have fur babies of our own, our apartment is certified dog friendly 🐶 we have a staircase to enter our apartment so please let me know if stair mobility is difficult for your pup and I can be sure my partner is around to help out for bigger dogs. I have a list of questions I like to ask new clients to get to know your pet and be able to provide the best service possible! My goal is to be able to provide your pet with loving and supportive care. We are close by to several parks and have a car in case additional transportation is needed.
Virginia-Highland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shams was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I always appreciated the updates and knew our dog was in good hands. She followed instructions carefully and made the whole experience easy. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable walker or sitter.

Melissa has been great so far. My dog loves her (and my cat) and she sends lots of cute photos and reviews for each walk. She was able to navigate some issues with my buildings old elevator seamlessly and I trust that she has everything under control while I am at work. I recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pets.
Nima was hands down 100% amazing! She treated our fluff ball like a king, truly like a member of the family. She adapted to his style and really seemed to understand him. She gave us detailed updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It made us so happy knowing our puppy was being cared for with such respect and love, making the time apart much easier for both him and us.

Scar is always reliable, highly communicative, friendly, and amazing with our doggies. I was nervous about whether our younger dog would be ok with someone else walking him, but he’s done great with Scar and is calmer and happier after visits from their friend. Our dogs are always happy to see them and come home from their walks satisfied and happy to get a few treats and pets from Scar. Our neighbor suggested Scar and I’ve since recommended them to another friend. So glad to have a new, reliable pet sitter we like and trust with our babies and our home.
