About: I have always had animals in my life. I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, birds, horses, ducks, chickens, turkeys and goats. I currently have 3 cats and a dog. For as long as I can remember animals have always been in my life! I’ve worked with animals from young kittens and puppies to seniors, I absolutely love spending time with other people’s pets along with my own. I am a college student taking classes in the summer. I am available to take care of your pet babies overnight and in the morning to afternoon to early evening I give all our cats and dog the best treatment possible, I wake up and feed them, take our dog on walks, cuddle up with the kitties while doing homework and spend the night with all of them sleeping in my bed with me (I love them so much I let them sleep on my pillow and steal 90% of the bed space😂)
“Eugene was responsive, reliable, punctual, polite, and thoughtful. We scheduled him for a last minute walk with our two large dogs, who are also rather quirky. Eugene asked smart questions, listened attentively, and did a great job. We're hiring him again already.”
About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well! For cats I love being with them and keeping them company, while feeding and providing clean up.
“Extremely great experience. Our dog is always excited and happy when Siria arrives for a walk. Very professional at all times and takes care our dog extremely well! Highly recommend!!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities, from playful and energetic cats to shy or more independent ones. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and keeping up with each cat’s normal routine. I’m patient and gentle, especially with cats who need extra time to feel comfortable around someone new. I’ll always treat your cats with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can make time for feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your cat’s usual schedule as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I always make safety and comfort a priority when caring for cats/dogs in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding and litter routine consistent, and make sure doors and windows are secure. I understand that some cats are shy or cautious around new people, so I’m patient and let them approach me at their own pace. I’ll keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and playtime if they want it, and treat both your cat and your home with care and respect.
“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”
About: I provide dependable, personalized care by treating every pet like family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with special routines, and I always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part-time as a virtual therapist, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and personalized care. I make sure every pet receives the time, care, and updates they deserve while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep their environment clean, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: A animal lover who truly enjoys taking care of animals (any species). Currently residing with 5 best friends-3 cats, 2 dogs -German Shepherd (female 3 years old) and Amstaff Lab Mix (9.5 years old),of course the cats run the show! I have trained puppies and older dogs basic obedience. I have experience giving medications to dogs as well as wound care.

I’m currently not working and have plenty of time to care for dogs, go on walks with dogs and play with dogs. I am able to provide an environment for doggy play dates in my backyard that is 5 acres fully fenced. I am also able to board dogs, if needed. I have a fenced backyard on 5 acres where your dogs can run free, play with toys, cool off in a pool (during summer time) as well as play with my 2 dogs.

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!

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 Yocum. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
