“Samantha did an amazing job walking our pup Prince. She was very professional and her communication was top tier. She treated him like her own and you can tell she loves what she does. I look forward to having her walk him again. I highly recommend Samantha!”
“Michelle is awesome!!! She works with Elli to be sure she's comfortable with her new friend. She's very patient and understanding. Elli looks like she was enjoying her walk with Michelle.”
“William was great! He was reliable, flexible, understanding, patient and very nice. He did great with my two dogs. One of them requires special attention during walks. Will did exceptional. Definitely will be telling my family and friends about him so they can use him too, I know I will be! Thanks again William!”
About: I’ve taken care of older dogs as well as puppies. I’m an outdoorsy person, love going to parks and taking my doggy nieces with me! Your dog will be engaged, played with and cared for. Walks- (M-F) after 6:00pm Saturday anytime Sundays after 2pm Drop in visits- only available on weekends anytime House sitting- available 7 days a week, for M-F I will be working 8am-5pm, Saturday and Sundays available all day I love to play, cuddle and pet. I also understand that not all dogs like that. Depending on the dog’s personality and body language, I’ll typically do whatever is more comfortable for them. I have a puppy niece that is very active and is high energy and loves to cuddle and my other doggy niece (an older pitty) prefers to be left alone and watch tv lol so I’m pretty adaptable.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule!

I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
About: I am a current college student with years of experience working with animals. I have mainly pet sat and done drop-ins with neighbor dogs and cats.

I am big on communication and want the best time for you and your pets. I am a college student with pretty much all hours of availability this summer both weekends and weekdays. I have a working car so I can satisfy most any schedule. In my clients' homes, I always want to fully communicate so I understand the boundaries and guidelines of the home and care of the pet. I want to ensure that the proper tasks are taken care of in a professional manner for both you and your pets.
“Ciara did a great job walking and feeding our dog Skippy. He is finicky eater and she got him to eat all his chow. She definitely has a way with animals. I highly recommend her services.”
“I was an idiot and locked myself out of the apartment. Luckily I remembered Stephanie has a key, and she came right over and let Boregaard and I in. It’s always cute seeing how excited Boregaard is to see her.”
“I’ve had Christopher walk my English cocker spaniel a few times now and I still have nothing but good things to say. He’s attentive, he gives her good exercise, and he’s almost always available. When something seems off about her, he lets me know. He’s a really caring, great person, and I HIGHLY recommend.”

“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”

Stephen did a great job on his first walk with Ana and Elsa! He was punctual, attentive, and made sure they were comfortable right away. It’s always a bit nerve wracking trusting someone new, but he handled everything with care and professionalism. We’re very happy and look forward to more walks with him!
Shana was a pure delight! Shana walked Brooklyn for me while I was out of town - sometimes once a day and others twice a day. Brooklyn is slow to warm up to new people but she fell in love with Shana nearly immediately because of Shana's gentle and reassuringly manner. Shana is my new favorite Rover sitter for Brooklyn.

Isabella was phenomenal! She took amazing care of Mia and was available on very short notice, which I truly appreciated. She was incredibly kind, super responsive, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care—and I’ll definitely be booking her again soon!
