Dog Walking in Western Branch South, Chesapeake, VA

About: I started out with cats. I've taken care of cats since I was three years old. I wasn't able to get any experience with dogs until more recently, but we've kept friends' dogs in our homes periodically over the past six years and I care for my own sweet pup, Brownie, who has been with us for two years after we pulled her from an abusive situation I'm self-employed and I set my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I only need to be sure to have the mornings to get my kids to school and the afternoons to get them home. I promise to have the utmost respect for your home and the way you want things done. I want to do whatever will make you and your precious pup most comfortable.

“This was my first time using a Rover dog walker and Barbara was wonderful with my little May. She when over and above to make May feel safe. I will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I’ve been around animals since the day I come home from the hospital to today. For my 6th birthday i was gifted my first cat to call my own from that day I knew I wanted to take care of animals. I’m available anytime on the weekends. Also I’m available before 6 AM in the mornings then I can go straight after I get out at 1 PM Monday-Friday. I can’t really answer this question because every pet is different based off of feeding schedules, exercise, medication, making sure they’re not going to hurt themselves, lastly making sure they’re comfortable.

“Anna was amazing! I needed a last minute appointment and she came by to meet my pups the same day. She was very flexible and was able to help me with a difficult scheduling conflict and had great communication. Thank you!”

“Ashlynn is great!! She’s super responsive and kind. I’ve been using her for about a month now and it makes me feel so much better that I have her to walk my sweet Penny when I am at work.”

“Reyna is a phenomenal rover. Her professionalism and keen attention to detail is unmatched when dealing with my fur buddy. When I mention his rover is on the way soon, his excitement is out the roof. If you're looking for a committed rover, that communicates extremely well, ensures your fur baby is safe, and makes your life unbelievably easier. Reyna is definitely the one 🙌🏾🙌🏾”

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life and many cats. Your pet will be loved and played with by me and my two homeschooled, pet loving boys. I'm currently a stay at home mom and I'm homeschooling my children. I'm available most weekdays and some weekends. I'll be home with your pet most of the time. I have a small fenced yard and well behaved pets are welcome in my home. I have two cats. They can be separated from pets we're boarding if needed.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for years, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. I'm comfortable with all ages—whether it's keeping up with a playful puppy or giving extra love and patience to a senior dog. I think what sets me apart is how quickly pets warm up to me and how I make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I am currently at home so I have time during the day to walk and care for your fur babies. I have a dog of my own and love lots of different types of animals. When I walk pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, sniff time, and attention based on their energy level and personality. I always stick to their routine as closely as possible and pay attention to how they're feeling each day. Safety is my top priority, so I use secure leashes, avoid risky areas, and keep a close eye on their behavior throughout the walk.

About: I have experience with pets for 8 years. I’m a pet groomer! I work at a pet adoption center and I care about their well-being and happiness. I’m a pet lover 🫶🏼 I do my work at home from my computer so I am always at home and I have the whole day to spend with your pet. I live in a house with a yard and I love taking everyone out for a healthy walk and playing. I send photos and videos !

“Siobhan was wonderful with Molly. She came to do a meet and greet ahead of time so that we could go over Molly's routine with her. This made us very comfortable with having someone new come take care of our fur baby. She sent pictures and updated Molly's report so we knew how things went.”

“Shelby has been great with Janie taking her on walks, runs, and even to the dog park.”

About: Hi! I am a long time animal lover who just relocated to the Western Branch area of Chesapeake with my husband and two dogs; Riley & Bob! Since 2016 I’ve made it a habit of offering to petsit/ check on animals of friends and family before realized this app existed! By trade, I am a Personal Trainer and Massage Therapist, but my absolute favorite thing to do is hang out with my own dogs (12 year old one eyed Lab & 1 year old Bernedoodle 😍). In the past 9 years, I’ve stayed at 20+ homes and walked/check on countless pets of all types, sizes, and ages. The longest I’ve stayed at a pet's home was the 3 weeks I spent in the South End of Boston with a stunning 15 year old Husky. In addition, helping my husband train our 1 year old Bernedoodle puppy has been a fun and challenging process from which I’ve learned so much. I can’t wait to meet (and become friends with) your sweet fur babies! I am currently a private fitness trainer which allows me to have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekend. I am able to drop in on pets during the days as well as provide housesitting. My husband and I are lucky enough to have a fenced in backyard for our dogs to enjoy. Our older dog is trained off leash, while we’re still training our young puppy on leash.
