“Victor is great with my dog Marcie! She can sometimes be wary of strangers but she liked him immediately. He is very conscientious and kind. Victor will take good care of your pets.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started out by helping neighbors take care of their cats and dogs, and over the years that love grew into rescuing and caring for animals of my own. I’ve shared my life with both a cat and a dog with special needs, and I even helped raise an abandoned baby squirrel. I’m a biologist by training, and through my work I’ve also cared for rabbits, providing gentle pre- and post-surgery support. I’ve previously provided cats and dogs care with a company called Pet Nanny and was certified through Pet Sitters International. I especially enjoy walking small and medium-sized dogs and always make sure each walk is filled with patience, attention, and lots of love. After my job ended in September due to a reduction in force, I decided to follow my heart and focus on animal care full time, beginning with dog walking from 11am-10pm. I also except dogs day care. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first. I walk with full attention to my surroundings and to what your dog needs in the moment. We take our time so they can do their business, enjoy plenty of sniffing and “reading messages,” stretch their legs, and truly enjoy the walk before heading home. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and will always keep you updated about anything special, unusual, or urgent that comes up.
“Fabiola is great! She was able to accomodate our last minute request, which we truly appreciate.She is reliable, communicative and took excellent care of our pup Georgie. It gave us peace of mind knowing our Pup is in good hands. Highly recommend and would gladly rebook. Thanks Fabby!”

About: At little bit about me, I am a graduate student studying occupational therapy and finishing in December. I have dog walked and house sat animals for the past 15 years and absolutely love it!. I have been lucky enough to grow up with a dog until recently I rescued a puppy of my own:) She is very playful, high energy, and loving so I understand the importance of good walk and exercise! I feel that a happy and behaved dog is a well exercised dog which is why I would love the opportunity to play and tire your dog out! I have high standards for my dog so I hold the same standards of myself shen taking care of orher's dogs. I am very reliable, timely, and hard working so I will always give your dog my undivided attention whenever I am with him/her! I love animals and cannot imagine my life without them! When I am out I am always worrying about my dog being alone, so I want to give you the peace of mind not worry about the care I am providing. Look forward to meeting you and your sweet pup!
“Pilar is amazing!! She is so friendly, kind, and positive - she is also a certified dog whisperer because my pup, who is normally very shy around strangers, loved her almost immediately. It was so awesome to see how he was always so happy to see her. I also really appreciated how professional and communicative Pilar was - I knew my pup was in capable hands and having a great walk every time!”
About: Let me first say thank you for considering me for the role of walking your little fur member! As a practicing vegetarian- I can tell you that my life is devoted to animal welfare. With me - your dog will be treated with the utmost care and attention. Furthermore - I’m extremely punctual and follow directions specifically . I communicate appropriately and effectively. I never call out and am always on time for any job I have. As far as experience - I have dealt with a variety of dogs since I was 12 years old. I currently am “dog dad” to a Yorkie and a Labrador. I have seen a range of behaviors and personalities over the years and am equipped to manage each dog’s unique personality. I’m 6”2- roughly 220lbs- so I can manage larger dogs comfortably. My lab is about 110lbs so I’m used to handling larger dogs. I also have a 9lb yorkie - so I can manage a wide range in sizes. Both of my dogs were rescued from really bad situations. I pay very close attention to the small things . If your dog is with me- he/she will never be in better hands. They will have fun and they will be well cared for. I currently am on leave from work due to a back issue - so walking and getting out is good for me. I love to walk and enjoy keeping ur pup safe and happy. I have two friendly dogs who are my world . They get tons of exercise - and 5 walks per day. They easily spend 3.5 hours outside per day- whether that be fetching or walking - to even just laying in the grass and people watching !
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of how important it is to provide them with love, patience, and proper care. I’m currently the proud owner of a 1-year-old French Bulldog, so I have hands-on experience with the daily responsibilities of being a dog owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure my pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers cuddles and relaxing, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own dog! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is in caring, responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I work only 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve! 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own! As someone who has grown up with dogs and currently has a 1-year-old French Bulldog, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on their regular schedule, plenty of playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. In a client's home, I would follow their pet's normal routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away.

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 12 years old. I have had 4 dogs throughout that time. I have experience with both senior dogs and high-energy younger dogs. I am more used to smaller dogs, but one of my current 2 dogs is a 54lb pitt-bull, the other one is a 15lb pug mix. I also used to take care of a 70lb standard poodle for a family I was a nanny for. I am currently unemployed, so I have open availability. I am working on my master´s degree and would like to use this extra time to save a little money since I just got married. I offer dog walking and house sitting services. I can also play with them and provide a safe and comfortable envoinment. I will adapt to whatever specific needs your pets may have.
About: Hello! My name is Sky, I'm 24 years old, and I am currently studying to get my Bachelor's Degree in Biological Science specializing in Zoology. I have a lot of first-hand experience with owning/caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I have no breed preferences, and pets that need specific care/special needs are always welcome. If you have a special needs pet, (or a pet that needs any sort of medication administration or medical care such as ear drops, eye drops, diaper changes, etc.) I do request to be shown specifically how you provide that care in order to ensure that your pet is not overly stressed out with a stranger performing different techniques of administration than the ones consistently used by their owner. I have a license and a car so I can provide reliable transportation to dog parks, socialization outings, grooming appointments, and pup-cup treats! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet. **FULLY COVID-19 VACCINATED AND BOOSTED During the summer I have a relatively free schedule. During the fall and spring semesters, I attend college full-time, so unfortunately my availability will be cut down but not completely gone. During the school year, I would greatly appreciate it if you could notify me or request me 6 hours to one day in advance so I can make sure I don’t have anything going on with school. Same-day requests during the school year can be tricky and I want you to be able to have your pet taken care of, so if I happen to be busy on the day of request/visit I can let you know so you can request someone else in a timely manner. I would hate to deny your request an hour or so before you need me because of school and cause you to be unable to book a new sitter in time. Thank you for your consideration, I will try my absolute best to accommodate you and your schedule with appropriate notice. I strive to make sure your pets get the best care possible, even if, unfortunately, it cannot be with me. **For house-sitting services, I am available for all-day visits, but unfortunately I am unable to stay the night(s) at your home because of my own pets at home needing care. I strive to provide your pets with the same love, care, and affection that I provide for my own pets. I'd love to cater to any preferences or favorite toys/food/activities your pet may have!
About: I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog, and even a few pet rats. Currently I have two indoor cats and a variety of wildlife that my roommates tell me I am allowed to feed but not allowed to bring inside. I have a little bit of experience with caring for reptiles, birds, and one hedgehog in addition to the more traditional pets. I find that I am particularly popular with large, energetic dogs who enjoy playing with someone "their own size" and anxious critters who need lots of reassurance. I recently completed graduate school and currently have lots of time to provide love, exercise, medication, and whatever else your furry friend may need while you are away. As an in-home sitter I always make sure to get complete instructions on where pets can or cannot go in the house/yard, approved treats, and any medication schedules along with vet information in case of emergencies.
“Caden was great with our elderly pup, getting her outside and taking care of business, which can take some coaxing. He was great with communications, and we just asked him to walk our pup again.”
About: Growing up around animals gave me a lifelong love and appreciation for them, especially dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals with different personalities, routines, ages, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have several years of experience providing pet care for families through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I also volunteer with a local animal shelter and have assisted with animal care in my community. I understand that every pet is different. Some are energetic and social, while others may be shy, anxious, older, or simply happiest following their familiar routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting and can accommodate both recurring and occasional care. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routine so they experience as little disruption as possible while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, household rules, and security. I respect your home and keep your pet’s environment clean and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If I notice any unusual behavior or changes in your pet’s well-being, I will communicate with you promptly.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs then owned two blue heelers: one hearing and one deaf. Happy to take good care of your sweet doggies and that you can relax while you are away. I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. I have a doggy door and a fenced yard, and nice trail for long walks. Will invite your doggie(s) as part of our routine and happy to walk more than once a day- will give attention and be sure your dog is happy and comfortable
About: I have years of experience caring for my own pets — a 9-year-old Ragdoll cat, an 8-year-old orange tabby, and a sweet Mini Pinscher. My calm and gentle nature helps me connect easily with animals. I’m great with walking dogs, playing and bonding with them, and caring for cats with patience and love. Every pet I meet feels like family to me. I’m a licensed acupuncturist who works in a healing clinic. I’ve always loved animals and wanted to spend my free days doing something meaningful with them. I balance my work as an acupuncturist with my love for animals. On my free days, I enjoy walking, playing, and relaxing with pets-it’s my favorite way to unwind. I treat every home and pet with great respect and care. I maintain their normal routine for meals, walks, and playtime to minimize stress. I’m attentive to details—monitoring their mood, energy, and comfort level—and always make sure they’re safe and relaxed. I communicate with pet parents regularly with updates and pictures.
“I had such a great experience with my dog walker today! They did an amazing job walking both of my pups, and I really appreciate the care, patience, and attention they gave them. My pups came back happy, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! 🐶❤️”
“Shreejaya is incredibly kind and helpful with walking our dog and checking in on our cat. She is just the best and we really appreciate her! Highly recommend if you’re looking for pet sitting, dog walking, etc.”
About: I am the #1 person who all my friends and family trust with their pets while they enjoy a quick weekend getaway or vacation. I treat all pets like my own. I did a very good job training my 12 year old Shih Tzu and 8 year old, very well behaved and loved. I am available 24/7 and I also work from home 🏡. I have a lake nearby that I walk everyday as well! It’s about an hour walk (to and from) if your dog needs a long walk. I have a fenced yard, a small Shih Tzu and a cat to keep your babies company. I can also crate your dog if needed and have plenty of room!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Grove
Melissa B. was the perfect choice for my senior dog Ruby. Not only was she caring and supportive of her needs but she was also able to schedule the walk for Ruby when another walker was unable to schedule. I will certainly rebook with Melissa again in the future.
Jessica is exceptional. She loves my dog and takes such good care of him. My dog absolutely loves her. She is always polite, courteous and thoughtful. Jessica also communicates very well and in a timely manner. She also does long walks during the dog walk visits, which is great for my energetic dog. She knows what she is doing and very trustworthy.
“Romario was fantastic with Nalu! He was incredibly communicative throughout, always letting me know exactly when he arrived and when he was leaving, plus sending pictures during the walk so I could see Nalu having a great time. That level of communication put my mind completely at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks; Nalu came home happy and well-exercised every time. He’s reliable, punctual, and clearly experienced with different dog personalities. I’d trust him with Nalu again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for a walker who treats their pup like family.”

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
