About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and development level. I have grown up caring for dogs of my own. As an adult, I volunteered for a local humane society, caring for many dogs while preparing them for adoption. I’ve cared for senior dogs with health conditions and puppy’s that requires extra attention. I have been a foster mom to dogs of various ages in recent times and have two very friendly pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs. I work from home full-time, so I am available to give constant care and companionship to your pet while you are away. Lots of snuggles and potty breaks throughout the day to keep your pet content. I have a fenced in backyard that allows less active pets to soak up the sun. I live in an extremely pet friendly neighborhood that has plenty of trails for long walks for your pet.
About: First and foremost, I am an animal lover and an incredibly ambitious worker. I’ve worked for over 20 years with dogs, cats, reptiles, and horses. I am an author by trade with no permanent time restraints due to work scheduling. I can potentially work 7 days a week. I am available for overnights as well. Integrity was always something of great importance to my family as I grew up. I take pride in honor and trustworthiness. I would expect no less from anyone taking care of my animals. I will always treat your pet as if he/she is my own.
About: My name is Meagan, I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania caring for animals my whole life. I’ve been blessed to have dogs and companionship and I know how much they mean to us. I’d love to be able to help you take care of your pup or pet whenever you need and make sure they’re safe, sound, and get to have some fun. I’m flexible on weekends and evenings primarily. But can work around schedules if needed! I have a full time job but am flexible to help out as needed. I like taking my dog on long walks, getting to get some water views if possible and then play time. It’s important to stay hydrated and make sure my pup is happy and sound.
“Isabel was wonderful with our Holli! She provided us with pictures and a summary of each walk. Holli was excited to see her each day. We will definitely use Isabel again!”
“Matt was awesome! Very communicative with keeping me updated about everything. Took really good care of my dog while I was away and even brought my package in from the porch! Will definitely use Matt again in the future”
About: Hello and thank you for taking time to read my profile. I have always loved animals, big and small. My personal experience started about twelve years ago with my beloved Doberman pinscher, Romeo. He passed at the end of last year but he brought so much love ever since I got him as a puppy. For now I have my fish tank friends but some day I would love to rescue my next pup! I am also currently fostering a torti cat whose owner was displaced during Hurricane Helene. Professionally, I have been offering drop ins and dog walks for friends and family for about the past year. I have experience with puppies, cats, animals with anxiety, special diets, crate training, and obedience training. I work full time but if you have wifi I am happy to work remotely at your home while I pet sit. Aside from that, evenings and weekends are open. I use an approach to know and understand my furry friend first. By meeting with you and your pet, we can discuss any special needs or how I can best help your pet enjoy their time with me. I do not use any corporal punishment ever. Behavior can be approached through positive reinforcement and redirection when needed. My goal is for both your pet and I to have a great time together in a safe environment. I am happy to communicate with you throughout my stay to keep you informed and at ease that they are in good hands with me.
“Candace was so great with our frenchie! We so appreciated her patience in making sure Ruby was comfortable and had time to warm up to her. We definitely recommend Candace!”
About: I have taken care of animals from chickens and lizards to dogs and cats since before i went to high school, but started taking it seriously when i turned 15 (5 years ago now!) After taking a year off of dog sitting (i got my own puppy and had to train him) now i’m ready to get back into the business! I am working part time at a coffee shop, so i’m up early but out early too! I can usually drop by before work, around 6, after work, around 1, and in the evening, from 7-10. I can’t care for pets in my home, because of the volume of animals i have. But if i’m at your house, i stay with them and play with them from 30 min to an hour each check in (including walks). I tidy up using my own cleaning supplies if any animals made a mess (i also like to side hustle as a house cleaner, if that piques your interest!) I make sure to give treats and love every time i visit!
About: Hi, I’m Shana! I’ve been a trusted go-to for friends and family for years. Caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From puppies to seniors, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs. I raised my American Bulldog from 10 weeks old, so I know how much consistency, patience, and love matter. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 What you can expect: ✔️ Reliable, loving care ✔️ Experience with big breeds, seniors & puppies ✔️ Flexible scheduling ✔️ Clear communication and plenty of updates ✔️ Lots of walks (if they like them) ✔️ Lots of love and attention, every time I can even run with your dog if they have lots of energy and like running! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means I’m extra excited to welcome yours into my life… even if just for a little while. ❤️ ⸻ I work from home at least three days a week, which means I can give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and potty breaks during the day. On the days I go into the office, I have a flexible schedule and can come and go as needed to care for your pet. I live in a great townhouse community that is tucked away. I have a small fenced-in patio where your pet can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. It’s quiet, safe, and has over a mile of side walks that wind throughout the neighborhood. It’s easy to get multiple walks (long or short) everyday. There is also a fenced in dog park in the neighborhood. When I do drop-ins, I always take time to give your pet attention, love, and company. I never just let a pet out and leave. They deserve more, especially after being alone for a few hours. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority.

Kiah W.
“Kiah is so great with dogs! Not only is she an awesome dog parent to her two dogs at home but she has taken my 65-pound pitbull on multiple occasions and made him feel right at home even though he has anxiety. My dog loves her and gets along great with her two dogs who are also very sweet and loving. She sends me updates and pictures daily when I leave him with her. Kiahs love for dogs is so evident by all of her experiences fostering and taking in family and friends dogs when needed. I have no hesitations recommending Kiah as a dog sitter and I know her dogs will love having new friends in the house too!”

Shana V.
“I'm starting to think my dog likes Shana more than me! My 70 lb Weimaraner is always interested in people but expresses a different joy to see Shana. She has convenient availability and does a wonderful job sensing if he just needs let out or is wanting a walk or time spent when she completes her pop ins. She cares for his preferences and was great about learning his key words. Definitely recommend Shana to care for your pet!”
Virginia Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Valerie, she was so wonderful to work with!! She was always on time for walks, and she sent lots of pictures and detailed updates during each visit! She even noticed that my dog wasn't eating a lot while I was away, and took extra time to hand feed her to make sure she was getting enough food each day! I appreciated having the peace of mind that my dog was in such good hands while I was gone!
We just started using Maria as our previous walker was no longer able to walk Stella due to another job commitment. Maria‘s been punctual, compassionate and very tentative to Stella’s needs especially during the summer heat. Although Stella is a some moredjusting to her new walker, we think Maria is going to be a great fit. Thanks Maria 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
My doggy is very timid and shy when meeting new people. Sydney was absolutely amazing with agreeing to take her out for me very last minute and made my dog feel so comfortable! My dog warmed up to Sydney super quick. She took her on a walk and to the park to play fetch. She provided many pictures throughout the visit as well! I will definitely continue to use Sydney for future visits :)
Christina is seriously one of the best dog sitters/walkers we have ever encountered on this app. She is incredibly thoughtful and kind to not only our dogs but us. She is always on time and communications very throughly. My two dogs, a 8 month old puppy and 2 year old Bernese adore her so much. They cry and jump up and down when they see her hahah. I could not recommend Christina enough she is a great person and a friend!!
I would HIGHLY recommend Deanna! She is responsive, sweet, and very professional. Ever since she started walking my dog, Pippa has been visibly happier and calmer. She makes sure to give you daily updates and even helped my dog with recommendations when she had an upset stomach. Even cleaned up after my dog! She is an angel, and anyone would be lucky to have her taking care of their pet!
We are so grateful for Austin. From his response to our inquiry, to the meet and greet and him helping us out while we were away with dog walking he has been phenomenal. Extremely friendly, trustworthy, communicative, knowledgeable, and the list could go on- highly recommend Austin. We have two older doggos (15 yr old female 9 lb silky terrier & 13 yr old male 80lb lab, chow chow, boxer, staffy mix) with some medical issues (almost fully blind, arthritis, heart condition, our big guy had TPLO surgery and torsion surgery 8 months ago) and he was great with them. Our pups loved him and had so much fun with him. Our big guy is quite sensitive, high energy and dog reactive on leash and Austin had no problem handling him. Can’t emphasize the word trustworthy enough, we were able to take our trip without any worry as we knew they were in good hands. Thanks so much Austin!
