“Elena took extra care of my cat while I was away on a business trip. She was very kind and thoughtful and went out of her way to go and check on my cat when my flight was cancelled on my way back home. I will definitely rebook Elena in the future!”

“Ilana is an amazing sitter! She organized a meet and greet to make sure she knew everything she needed to about Juniper. She checked in if she had any questions, and juniper loved her!”

“Andrea has been amazing! The dogs love her. She is very responsive and gives great updates in her visit details. She was willing to stop by ahead of our first scheduled drop-in to meet the pups. I’ve rebooked with her and plan to continue!”

“Adriana is the best! Extremely flexible - full of love for our dog and just a perfect dog walker with excellent communication! We’re much looking forward to the next time”

“Our second time having Erin check on our two cats was just as great as the first! She is truly wonderful, always communicative and sent lots of great photos. Our cats love her! Thank you, Erin!”

“Katie is so thorough and so thoughtful. We have two dogs, one is a little rough around the edges and she still treated her like her own! We absolutely trust Katie and can’t wait for another chance to have peace of mind when leaving our pups!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life ranging from our own family dogs (up to 5 at one point). To training hound puppies for a local fox hunting kennel. I have experience with dogs ranging from 2-4 lbs up to 75-100lbs! I’m currently WFH so my hours are flexible. Anything around lunch time or early in the morning is the best for me but with heads up I can make time. I have dog sat for close friends at their apartment only as mine does not pets. I have been able to follow specific instructions on feeding and attention as well as walking dogs that aren’t overly friendly!
“Liza watched my cat over the holidays and she was fantastic! She was great with the instructions I left and gave Felix lots of love and playtime while I was gone. I could tell she loves cats even from the meet & greet and it can be rare to find a sitter who likes cats as much as dogs. I definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”

About: I have experience with many different types of dogs (and some cats!) My family has had dogs my entire life from Rottweilers, to Bull Terriers, to Frenchies! Your pup will get all the love and attention it needs with me. I currently work full-time in an office Tuesday-Thursday, but am able to go home for breaks if your pup needs to go out during the day. I do have a very friendly 2 year old old Frenchie, so your pet must be able to be around other dogs. We go on daily walks and outside 5+ times a day. Pets are allowed on all furniture and can be on the bed if potty trained. I do have stairs so just one thing to keep in mind!
“It was great working with Tia! She’s prompt in responding, provides updates with pictures and was very patient and kind with my pup. I greatly appreciate the extra care you gave her. I will definitely reach out again in the future for a drop in visit. Thank you so much, Tia!”

About: Currently work as a Pediatric Physician Assistant and love doing Rover on the side! I raised a puppy when I was 11 years old who lived for a really long time before she passed and now currently have a 2 adopted rescue from South Korea. I’ve been doing Rover with all different types of dogs. I love getting my steps in and would love to have another friend join me whether in the hot or cold weather. Currently working full time and have more time to spend with other dogs on the weekends! I would love meet your dog and give them all the love. I love getting my steps in so we could go on walks together, but also if your dog just needs some attention at home I would love to stop by and let them on a bathroom break and give them lots of love!
“Nina was great and took good care of my Ivy girl! She sent videos and photos, and followed all of my instructions. Will use be using her again in the future.”

About: I have big family with a lot of different pets in it😅 is that how I know that pets love me and everything gonna be awesome I’m having a remote job and a lot of free time so I can for sure fit around your schedule. We definitely can figure it out I’m totally OK with going to the clients home. I also live here in S. Lee St. Alexandria. But I’m not looking to host the pet in my house regularly
About: I've taken care of dogs all ages and breeds since I was about 8, and have spent a great deal of time caring for small breeds and seniors. I'm experienced in senior care involving medication regimens, dietary restrictions, and attentiveness to exercise and bathroom needs, as well as all the extra loving in between! Conversely, I have a good deal of experience in sticking to the puppy training schedule and command words as well as the patience necessary in the learning process. I'm currently a graduate student on summer break and have all the time in the world to look after your fur babies! I am available most (if not all) weekends as well as during the work week through the end of August I am able to commute to your home to care for your pets and adhere to whatever their daily schedule may look like. From walks, meals, nap time, and everything in between I am able to accommodate most services to keep them comfortable in your absence!
“Cynthia and her family always take incredible care of our cats. It gives us great peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. We’re so appreciative and highly recommend Cynthia.”

“Carolina is incredible, she is our go-to sitter for our cats and we could not be happier with her service and care. Our cats love her and she keeps us updated with photos and notes. I highly recommend her and will book her for all of our future travel plans”

About: Substitute teacher during the school year, looking to walk dogs and house sit this summer. As for experience, I grew up with a sweet and feisty Chihuahua named Taco, and for the last 11 years I owned a hyper and loving Australian Shepherd named Josie, who needed lots of activity and attention. Such a fun dog! Currently my school is on summer break, so I can walk dogs during all week days until the beginning of August, except for two week-long trips. My availability has been updated on the Rover app. I provide attentive care that is tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I ensure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of affection and supervision. I follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, training, and household rules to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I keep the environment clean and safe, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate regularly with owners by providing updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for.
“Robin always goes above and beyond to take care of our babies. This was our 5th booking with her and our cat was a bit rambunctious, knocking over our legos and humidifier and throwing up every few days. Robin sent us many pictures daily to update us and kept our apartment clean and orderly throughout the week. We trust her fully and feel so at ease during our trips. She is the best pet sitter and deserves all the stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Sophia was great to work with! She was willing to accommodate my request with short notice and was flexible when I needed to modify plans. She was very communicative and sent photo updates. She gave great attention and care to my two pets. They were immediately comfortable with her. I will definitely book her again!

Brittany is the most reliable, kind, and considerate sitter! She LOVES our dog, we joke Brittany and her daughter are our pup's second family. During this stay we had a horrific travel experience which got us stuck for 24hrs extra out of town and Brittany was so understanding and reassuring that our dog was taken care of. We cannot recommend her enough!

Andrea was wonderful. This was our first time leaving our puppy for an extended period, and she made us feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy a night out. She was flexible with our fluctuating schedule and kind in every interaction. Our puppy loved her, and the ample updates and pictures showed it—they became friends fast, and our pup was always excited to see her come through the door. A great experience all around. We’ll be booking with Andrea for anything we need going forward.
