“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”
“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and started dog-sitting for my neighbors at 9 years old. I love all animals, but dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've worked with dogs of all ages, and over the summer, I cared for a puppy full-time for the family I nanny for. I am very comfortable with big dogs and have lots of experience with large breeds, including Corsos and English Mastiffs. I hope I can make your time away from your pets a little bit easier and less stressful! I am a full-time student at the University of Virginia (with a car), so I have classes during the weekdays; however, I do have many breaks and a few days each week without classes, so I have a lot of room for coming by to check in and help out in any way I can. What I do to keep the animals and myself safe really depends on the situation. When I walk, I always carry pepper spray, and I have collars with lights on them in case I am ever walking a dog in low visibility. The important thing to me is making sure I follow any specific requests from the owners!
“Christian has been such a blessing for us during the last month! She has been so accommodating with our schedule and the needs of our two pups, Finn and Otis. Christian is attentive, caring, and she goes above and beyond when she’s working with us and our dogs. She is a great communicator and is always punctual. We are so lucky to have found her!”
“Abby was great. Came over the week before to meet my dogs. She came over on time to play with the dogs in the backyard (it was too hot for a mid-day walk). The dogs looked happy in the pics and were happy when we arrived back home!”
“Kris diligently worked to persuade my neurotic dogs to go on a walk with her. She was very patient and understanding with them and I look forward to working with her again”
About: I'm an animal lover, Mom, local business owner, and outdoor enthusiast! I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have spent many years fostering, volunteering for rescue organizations and leading dog walks and hikes. When I'm not caring for your pet babies, I'm in the kitchen working as a private chef here in Central, VA! Because I'm self employed with a flexible schedule, your pet won't have to spend long hours alone. I focus on low-stress, individualized attention—no overcrowded group walks or forced interactions. I'm comfortable following strict feeding schedules, giving oral medications, keeping up with active routines, and showing lots of affection, kindness and respect to your animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness is always my top priority! I'm self employed as a private chef and make my own schedule, so I have the time and flexibility to accommodate your pet needs! The opportunity to spend time with animals and get out of the kitchen into the fresh air is a win-win! I always strictly follow owner instructions and offer a safe, calm, active (when appropriate) and loving space for your pets to find connection while their owners are away.
“Yana is super! My pups stayed with their grammy while I was on vacation but she can't walk them. Yana worked around her own vacation so they could get their walks! She was very good with them and even sent pictures during the walks!”
About: Growing up, I walked and dog-sat for my friends and family. I also provided dog-walking services to residents in my neighborhood, occasionally helping out with training exercises. I'm a full-time student with availability in the evenings and on the weekends. I also occasionally have time in the middle of the day, depending on the booking time and my work schedule. I'm very conscientious, and I abide by the concept of leaving a place cleaner than how I found it. This means establishing clear locational boundaries and ensuring that the pet's safety takes priority, but also making sure that your home stays clean.
About: My name is Kailyn, and I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Having grown up with 3 dogs and 2 cats throughout my childhood, I have been grown up to be a huge animal lover. As an adult, I am lucky to be a cat mama to two beautiful boys, Tito and Cosmo, that I found as strays and have raised from ~6 weeks old. I have 7 years of experience in dog and cat care outside of my home, including puppy, kitten, and senior care, as well as pets that are a bit more anxious (or spicy!) than others. I am convinced that there isn't an animal on this planet that I can't win over. I am well-versed in understanding cues and body language and take pride in my ability to earn an animal's trust through slow and thoughful first interactions. My sister, Avantae, and I also co-own a pet care business and have over 15 years of combined petsitting experience, along with over 10 years of veterinary experience that Avantae brings to the table. Booking with me will always guarantee that you have a relaxing travel experience knowing that your fur baby is in loving and caring hands. Who knows, your pet might have a new best friend by the time you return! Pet care is currently my full time job outside of Rover as well. I have full flexibility to accommodate your pets daytime needs like midday potty breaks, medication administration, etc., as well as plenty of time together in the mornings and evenings. My weekends are typically very relaxed, giving your pet and I extra time to spend getting to know each other. I keep your pet's day-to-day life as normal as possible while you are away. I will collect a detailed schedule prior to booking to make sure we are adhering to what your pet knows best.
“Melissa has been absolutely wonderful! She is 100% dependable and very responsive. She has been caring for my two young blue heelers on a weekly basis for several months and I don’t have one complaint. She’s able to manage their over-the-energy and naughtiness without a hitch. I’m so glad and relieved that I found her!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet person who grew up with a whole host of cats and dogs. I love all pets but my favorites are big dogs and old cats — I have a 21 year old cat and a French Mastiff back home. My background as a teacher, nanny, house manager, and personal assistant means I’m reliable, organized, and great at keeping routines smooth. I’m happy to share references and I love meet & greets to make sure it’s a perfect fit. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! My law school classes start in the late morning and are spread throughout the day, which gives me flexibility for morning visits, midday check-ins, and walks. For clients in Charlottesville, I’m able to come back to the home between classes, so pets aren’t left alone for long stretches. When I care for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, relaxed, and never feeling alone. I spend time with them in common spaces so they can get used to me. If they’re comfortable, I let pets sleep in my room at night so they don’t feel lonely or miss their owners too much. Safety is a top priority for me—I never take dogs outside a fenced yard without a leash, even if they’re well trained, and I’m very careful with doors and entryways (I know all the kitty-proof tricks to prevent curious cats from sneaking out). I enjoy playing with pets who are able, I’m very clean and tidy, quick to handle messes, and I treat your home with care. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I’ve taken care of animals of all ages from puppies to senior animals. I work at a school, so this is not my full time job. It would be best to contact me directly for my availability and to figure out what works best for you and your pet(s). I prefer to do meet and greets so I can see the pet(s) usual environment and learn more about where I’ll be staying. I never take pets outside without a leash on for safety reasons.

I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I promise to treat yours like family. ✅ 5 years of veterinary field experience ✅ Comfortable with pets needing meds or special medical care ✅ Experience with dogs (all sizes), cats, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs & more ✅ Skilled with post-surgical, senior, blind/deaf, or mobility-challenged pets Whether you're heading out for the day or away on a trip, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. Let me know how I can help! I work a hybrid work schedule, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’m happy to drop in during the day while you're at work or away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, medication, or a bit of playtime, I can fit it into my daily routine with ease. Note: My husband also lives in the home and may be present during bookings. If your pet has shown fear or aggression toward men, please let me know in advance so I can ensure the best setup for everyone’s comfort and safety. I live in a pet-friendly area with lots of nearby grassy areas and quiet walking paths. Whether I'm in your home or mine, your pet’s safety, routine, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“Robert was on time and gave my dog lots of care and attention while I was out of town for a couple days. He was responsive to messages, asked good questions, and sent photos daily.”
“Great initial meet n greet and walk with Hailey! She was punctual, followed instructions/route and the dogs seemed to have a great time :-). Will certainly book again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve had big and small dogs. I currently have two small Morkies, Pickle and Penny. Pickle requires a special diet and pills to be given daily. Penny loves to be close and cuddle. My parents dogs is a black lab who over the past few years I’ve helped take care of. She has Addison disease and requires medication daily. She also needs a special routine to help keep her from getting overwhelmed. I’ve also had cats throughout my whole life and frequently had to give medications to my last cat Tilly. I really am looking forward to an opportunity to help be involved in your pets life. Whether it’s for a short walk, a play in the park, or just cuddles. I can’t have cats or other dogs because my wife is allergic to them. I’ve recently moved away from my family and looking to be able to still be able help other animals. That’s why I know getting on Rover is a great choice for me!! A little about me is I have been a nurse for ten years, and currently am a charge nurse. I love caring and helping people but I also love caring for animals. My schedule is different every week but I am able to visit anytime I am off. I have two dogs of my own at home. We have a dog park in the neighborhood that is fenced. I am able to be flexible with your animal needs. I can walk and play or just hang out with them. I can crate them before I leave, or give medications. I am overall very flexible and willing to meet your animals needs!
“Ireland was available on short notice and great with our dogs. She was on time, loved-on the dogs, took pics of them, and let us know how things went when she was done.”
About: I've been pet sitting since age 12, grew up with dogs, and started fostering cats and dogs in college. I have a cat of my own now! I have experience with both puppies and kittens, as well as with senior pets. I have also given oral medications and eye drops, and am comfortable with large and small dogs. I just finished up grad school and am working on job applications, so my schedule is pretty open! I am free any time during the week and on most weekends. I am more than happy to walk your dogs, take them to the dog park, or just hang out with pets who have separation anxiety! I have no problem giving medications of any kind, helping out with training, or keeping senior pets comfortable.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 Wildwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
