“Woodstock! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of him during his walk. I appreciated the update and felt confident he was in good hands. I’d be happy to book Jennifer again and highly recommend her.”
“Isabella was a wonderful caretaker of our dog Chili! She took time before our walking appointment to meet with us. She arrived right on time and sent numerous pictures of our dog during the walk. We can’t wait to have her watch Chili again!”
About: I grew up with a large dog that thought it was a lap dog. My love for animals expands from dogs to cats to even fish! I love my two cats and treat them like my babies and would spread that love to your own pets! I go home for breaks and am available full-time when I am back, but for now, I am at school at the University of Washington willing to take care of your pets! I have done drop-in visits as well as overnight stays. I enjoy fitting into your pet's schedule to ensure they continue their normal routines and don't feel neglected or left.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with everything from Yorkies to German Shepherds and Goldens. I’ve also cared for dogs on and off since I was 18, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and, unfortunately, this just isn’t the right time for our family to have a dog of our own. Rover gives me a chance to get some much-needed dog time while giving someone else’s pup a little extra love and attention—which, for me, is a pretty great trade! I really try to meet each dog where they are. If your pup wants a friend to play with, I’m happy to play. If they’re older, shy, or just happiest with some calm company and a good belly rub, I’m equally happy doing that. I pay close attention to behavior and will always communicate if I notice even a subtle change that I think you should know about. I also believe you know your dog better than anyone. I’ll respect your routines, rules, training, and preferences and care for your dog the way you’ve asked me to—not the way I think it should be done. Safety always comes first. Dogs stay securely leashed with me, I avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, keep an eye on what they’re getting into, avoid hot pavement, and double-check doors and gates. I do ask that any history of aggression be shared with me so I can keep both your dog and myself safe. I’m home during the day and have flexible availability for early-morning walks (even before 7!), daytime visits while you’re at work, and evenings. And fair warning: if you’re the kind of dog parent who loves getting pictures, you’ve found the right person. I will happily take a million. 😊 EM As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is fairly flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available for early-morning walks (including before 7 a.m.), daytime walks and drop-ins while you’re at work, and evening visits. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so getting outside for a walk or stopping in to give a pup some attention is something I look forward to—not just another task on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. In your home, I’ll always respect your routines, rules, and instructions—you know your pet best, and I believe their care should stay as familiar and consistent as possible. I’m very safety-conscious. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, and pay close attention to my surroundings and to your dog’s behavior. I’m also careful about things like hot pavement and anything they may try to pick up along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with patience and genuine kindness. Whether they want to play and burn off some energy or just need calm company, affection, and a belly rub, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual—even a small change in behavior.
“Anne has been a godsend since my return to the office 5 days a week. She is a great communicator and sends really cute photos. Highly recommend!”

“Dominique had great communication with me about our dog Lincoln. He’s got a positive and professional demeanor. Our dog is a big boy (125 lbs ) and Dominique handled him with ease. Lincoln instantly connected with Dominique, not something he always does with strangers. Dominique most definitely has a way with dogs. His interaction and care was as if Lincoln was his own pet. Dominique’s communication with me was great up to meeting and during the interaction with our boy. Very amicable person. I will use Dominque again.”
“Selina has been fantastic with my dog, Milo. He’s a big dog and can be a little tuggy on walks, but she handled him with confidence and always made his safety and comfort her top priority. She went above and beyond by making sure he always had food, water, and treats after his walks, and she sent tons of updates, photos, and videos that gave me so much peace of mind throughout the day. She’s also incredibly flexible and easy to work with, which made everything seamless. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats every one of them like her own. I trust her completely with Milo, and I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: Your Pet Deserves to Feel at Home 🐾❤️ ⭐ Proud Rover Star Sitter I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter, and I’m truly grateful for the trust families place in me. To me, caring for a dog means more than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. It means getting to know them, respecting their personality, and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶 Real Experience & A True Love for Dogs My experience with dogs began many years ago in Colombia, where I cared for my own three dogs: an energetic Pitbull and two Cocker Spaniels with very different personalities. They taught me something I believe is very important: every dog is unique. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and play, while others need calm, patience, and extra affection. Some are social from the very beginning, while others need a little time to feel comfortable and build trust. I take the time to understand each pet and follow their family’s instructions carefully. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they are in a safe and loving home. ❤️ 🏡 A Loving Home with Plenty of Companionship I work together with my husband, Carlos, which allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship and attention during their stay. We enjoy maintaining a calm routine and following each family’s instructions so their pet can settle in comfortably. Your dog won’t simply be “another pet” during their stay — they will be part of our family while they are with us. 🐾 🚗 Convenient Door-to-Door Pickup & Drop-Off To make things easier for you, I also offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off for daycare and boarding stays, depending on my service area. I understand that between work, family, and everyday responsibilities, taking your pet to and from daycare or boarding can be difficult. I want to make the process as convenient as possible for you. 📸 Communication You Can Count On I know that leaving your pet with someone else can sometimes be stressful. That’s why I believe communication is so important. During your pet’s stay, I’m happy to send you photos, videos, and updates, so you can see how your companion is doing and have peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I carefully follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, schedules, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. ❤️ My Commitment to You My goal isn’t simply to care for your dog for a few hours or a few days. I want you to come back and find your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The trust of every family means so much to me, and I’m proud to provide care based on love, responsibility, communication, and respect for every pet’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I enjoy having a consistent routine because it helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they are away from home. I also make sure to follow each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and medication schedule according to their owner’s instructions. I’m flexible and happy to communicate with pet parents about their pet’s specific routine and needs before their stay. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and companionship. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide the best possible care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, schedules, and any special needs. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they can adjust to our home at their own pace. During walks, I always prioritize safety and use appropriate precautions to keep each dog secure and under control. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can have peace of mind. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated with the same care and respect they would receive in their own home. 🐾❤️
“Brittany walked my dog Karuna every afternoon during a busy work week for me. She was very communicative and shared details from every walk. I’m grateful for the attention she gave Karuna and Karuna is very thankful for all the belly rubs!”
“It was great having Summer take care of my little guy - especially considering that he was dealing with an illness as well. I was super happy with the direct updates since I was worried leaving him alone, brought me a lot of peace of mind. Thanks!”
About: I’ve been raised around pets my entire childhood, 5 dogs, 3 cats and, a parrot, which has given me a genuine love and deep understanding of animals. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m extremely punctual, responsible, and organized, and I take pet care seriously. I keep everything clean and follow routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to give them the best care possible. Hi! My name is Mia, and my dad, Héctor, and I work together to provide loving and attentive care for your pets. While I’m working, my dad is home and helps look after the pets throughout the day, making sure they have plenty of attention, company, and care. We treat every pet like part of the family and work together to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. We are both committed to giving them the same love and care we would give our own. We love pets. 🫶🏽🦮🐈 Our home is a clean, two-story apartment that provides a comfortable and safe environment for pets, pets are allowed in the building. While there is a 4-year-old child in the home, pets are never left alone with the child at any time. We closely supervise all interactions to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. During their stay, pets remain with me at all times as me and my dad are the primate care givers. I make sure they have a quiet, secure space and receive constant attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15 years old. Lots of experience with playing, feeding, walking, and bathing pets if necessary. Comfortable working with pups and kitties of all ages and sizes. I work from home full time so can step out during the day and work around any scheduled meetings I have. Happy to check in multiple times a day or whenever preferred. I can drive to your home to accommodate you and your pets schedule. Also happy to send pictures, updates and spend however long preferred with your furry friend.
“Amanda is incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and such a dog person. Rosie was in love with her at first sight. Lucky to have her as part of my "dog team."”
About: Hello there! I’m Kathleen, I am working from home most days and would love to spend time with your cat or dog! Whether it’s a daytime walk or a long term stay, i have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and many stages of life, and health. I also love feline friends, and even have cared for a very temperamental bird. My own dog just passed away and required a lot of extra help in his older days. Patience and kindness. ♥️ I have a full-time job, but I’m working from home most days. Typically Thursdays are office days but I have a great deal of flexibility! That means a lot of walks and play throughout the day. Whether your baby is coming for a sleepover here or me to you, I’ll do my best to keep them happy and stress free while we are waiting for you guys to reunite. :)
About: Hi, I'm Haley! I recently moved to Northern Virginia from Metro Detroit for work and am excited to get to know the area—one dog walk at a time! I've been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with multiple dogs. Back home, I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix named Creed, who is truly my best friend. Since moving, I've really missed having dogs around, which is one of the reasons I joined Rover. Starting in high school, I regularly dog sat and cared for pets for several families in my neighborhood. Whether they were away on vacation or just needed an extra hand, I helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets felt loved and comfortable while they were gone. I'm very active and love being outdoors, so long walks, runs, and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. My work schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of availability throughout the week to help care for your dog. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'll always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I'll treat your pup like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My work schedule as a medical device representative varies from day to day, so no two weeks look exactly the same. Because of that, I often have weekdays where I finish work early and have plenty of time available for dog walks and pet care. I also don't work weekends, which means I'm available throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you'll always know my availability before booking. Since I currently offer dog walking services, my goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs and energy level. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely stroll or a more active walk, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. I'll always treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd give my own. During each visit, I'll make sure they have fresh water when we return, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and a summary of our walk. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll do everything I can to make both you and your dog feel comfortable and cared for.
About: As a proud owner of an adorable Yorkie, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like family. I have hands-on experience caring for my own 10 pound pup and feel especially comfortable caring yours. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel safe, happy and loved. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, exercise and daily routines to ensure your furry friend receives attentive, personalized care. I work a hybrid schedule during the week, which gives me the flexibility to coordinate pet care around my workday. I’m available for dog walking, dog sitting, and house sitting, and I enjoy making time for animals to receive companionship and attention they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise and affection and maintaining familiar routines. I would be proactive in communicating with you to coordinate expectations as well as ensuring that I provide dependable care while you are away. As a Yorkie parent, I understand the importance of patience, compassion and attentive care. My own dog experienced separation anxiety, so I prioritize quality time, regular meals, exercise and helping him feel safe and helping him feel safe and comfortable. I provide gentle, loving attention, follow their routines, and make their well-being is my priority. I want every furry friend to feel secure, cared for, and loved while their family is away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westover
Felipe was very helpful, patient, and kind with my energetic dog! I really appreciated how understanding and attentive he was. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Vivian is great. I have 3 large dogs (2 of them are over 100 pounds) and she didn’t flinch about walking them. She came exactly when she said she would, sent me updates and took great care of them. I can highly recommend Vivian and look forward to using her again.
Jennifer’s been walking my two dogs for about eight months, and she’s been amazing. My adventurous Cookie pulls a lot, and Luna is nervous with city noises, but Jennifer handles both with calm confidence. She’s responsible, patient, and clearly loves what she does. I always feel comfortable knowing my girls are safe and cared for when they’re with her. We’re so grateful to have found her.
Leila was great! I booked her last minute and unfortunately the app had the wrong address for me. Leila was understanding and still showed up to the correct address and did the full walk (which I did not expect her to as the address situation was not her fault). Naya seemed to have a great time and I will definitely be booking her again when the need arises. Thank you Leila!
Jessica took care of our Bruno again by giving him a daily walk while we were out of town. We can tell he loves his walks with her and we know he is in good care with her. She gave him his daily supplements before his walks and we enjoyed seeing pictures from each walk with quick recap notes.
Karly is reliable, kind, and puts your pet first! She will work with your schedule well, and will make sure your pet gets the best care. Karly consistently walked my Tucker for 30-45 minutes, making sure he got lots of exercise and even more pets and love. She also did a great job keeping me posted before, during, and after the walks. Overall, if you want great care for your furry friend, Karly is a wonderful choice!
Ozzy was awesome with Milo. He was super diligent about getting pictures and giving me updates on every walk, and always made sure Milo had water, etc. He was also incredibly responsive and flexible, which was so helpful with last minute schedule changes/work travel. I felt totally at ease knowing Milo was taken care of while I was out of town. It’s clear Ozzy loves the animals, highly recommend!
Sara has been walking Wallace consistently for a few months now. I met her in the building we both live in and booked her through Rover just so I could leave this review. She’s the best dog walker I’ve ever had, and I’ve been very fortunate to have all great dog walkers. Sara is always on time, reliable, and most importantly, she genuinely loves Wallace, and he loves her too. Every time she comes into my apartment, he brings her a toy, which he only does with a few people he’s ever met. She also checks his water bowl without me asking and refills it and stays afterward to pet him and hang out with him because she genuinely enjoys being with him and loves dogs (she also loves cats, by the way!). Wallace is reactive to certain dogs on leash, and I’ve never had to worry about Sara handling him, which says a lot. I completely trust her with him. She’s also communicative and sweet and always sends several pictures and videos without me asking every single time, even though she knows I trust her and she’s walked him dozens of times. In summary: Sara is excellent. She loves dogs (and is also obsessed with cats but I don’t have a cat), she’s reliable, communicative, and caring. For Sara, this is an “I love walking and I love dogs so this is my dream” type thing for her. She goes to every dog event our building has even though she doesn’t have a dog so she can pet and play with all the dogs. I’m actually worried about leaving this review because I don’t want her to be so booked she doesn’t have as much time and flexibility for Wallace anymore since I tend to schedule last minute, but she deserves this. I’m also not one to leave reviews often.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Westover. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
