“My cat told me right away that Guiselle was perfect. She’s not a friendly cat, but she immediately liked Guiselle! I was extremely happy with her service and would definitely hire her again.”

“Juliana took on the strange task of caring for my bird. She made sure Mango had fresh food and water every day and sent lots of photos. I’d definitely use her again.”

“McKenna was amazing with Goose and Roo! We came back to tired, content puppies. McKenna was great with sending regular updates and pictures. We definitely plan to have her watch the dogs again next time we’re out of town!”
“Diego was great cat sitter for our two cats! He did well communicating and accommodating our requests. I could not recommend him enough and will definitely rebook him in the future!”

“Thao was incredible. Super communicative and super loving towards our senior dog. We never had any doubt that he was being well cared for. Will definitely use her again at any opportunity!”

“Emili was excellent; she took great care of our cat. She sent numerous photos and kept us updated on all interactions. She was very respectful of our cat, giving him the time and space he needed to acclimate. We will definitely use her services again!”

“Toni was great! She took care of our two young cats for several days stopping by twice to feed, play, and give both oral/topical meds to them. She sent updates and pictures to let us know our girls were in great hands!”

“Sophie did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. She was extremely attentive to our cat's needs and followed our, frankly, excessively detailed instructions on feeding, litter box care, and play. During each visit, she sent us photos that showed our cat engaging and playing with her — no small feat when dealing with a skittish, young feline. It was our first trip since adopting our cat, and Sophie helped us feel confident that she was in good hands. Thank you, Sophie!”

“Sent amazing pictures and was very communicative and able to accommodate my last minute request to watch my cat! I would highly recommend her and book with her again.”

About: I’ve spent the past few years caring for puppies and dogs while house-sitting for family and friends. I regularly walk, feed, bathe, brush teeth, and groom pets, and I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes—including those who may struggle with anxiety. I'm currently working full time, but have lots of flexibility on the weekends and sometimes during the week for house sitting, dog walkings and more with advanced notice. I have an open outdoor space and walkable community that is very pet friendly. I have lots of open space in my one bedroom apartment to run around and play.
“We could not be happier with Anne! Between the quick and professional responses when we first contacted her, to Anne quickly taking care of an issue we created while we were rushing to catch a flight! (We forgot to leave food for our kitty, and needed Anne to start a day earlier than scheduled. No problem!). Communication was prompt and perfect, even over a holiday. We recommend Anne without reservation and we look forward to having her look after our pets in the future ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😸”

About: My family has pampered and spoiled our yellow Labrador for 15 years of walks, runs, fetch, cuddles, and treats. We’ve cared for him from his crazy puppy years to his gentle old soul. I’m a whole-hearted dog lover and care for other dogs like they’re my own. I have been a Rover dog walker/sitter for over five years now, and have loved each and every dog! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule! I am a graphic designer, so I often work independently with a light meeting schedule. I can accommodate one walk during the work days, and any other walks needed in the evenings. While walking dogs, I make sure to walk them safely distanced from traffic and passing cars. I am always respectful of my client’s homes and neighborhoods, and make sure to clean up after their pups!
“Imagine leaving your beloved cat with a sitter who transforms from a stranger to a trusted companion, all while you’re miles away. This isn’t just a wishful thought; it’s my reality with Stacy, the remarkable sitter for my cherished Einstein deCat. Stacy has ‘sat’ for Einstein a couple of times, and each experience has been warmly received by him. Before the pandemic, I traveled frequently, and Einstein was accustomed to my absence. What initially attracted me to Stacy was her commitment to spending a full 30 minutes each visit, not merely completing the basics. As I resumed extended travels, I knew Einstein needed someone to be that other ‘hooman’ in his space, and Stacy was the perfect fit. Her daily pictures and occasional videos weren’t just updates; they were windows into the growing bond between her and Einstein. I’ve seen him allow her to comb his fur, a privilege he doesn’t give to just anyone, and relax next to her on the couch, a testament to their mutual affection. This isn’t mere pet sitting; it’s creating a caring environment for Einstein in my absence. I am confident in Stacy’s ability to manage any cat crisis. Should the need arise, I trust her to communicate effectively with me and any vet care providers, ensuring continuity and care tailored to any new circumstances. In a world where genuine care and trust are rare gems, finding Stacy has been a blessing. She doesn’t just watch over Einstein; she provides peace of mind, a happy cat to return to, and the freedom for me to enjoy my travels. Stacy isn’t just a cat sitter; she’s a guardian angel for both me and Einstein deCat.”
About: Hey there! I’m Briana, a devoted lover of all animals big or small. Whether your dog is a playful pup, a couch potato, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like my own—with plenty of love, attention, and (if allowed) treats! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m happy to accommodate their unique needs—long walks, cozy cuddle sessions, or just keeping them company while you’re away. My goal? To make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and loved while you enjoy peace of mind. I’m especially versed in the needs of our more reactive friends. I’d love to get to know your furry friend! I am a teacher who works from the end of August to mid-June! My schedule works perfectly for dogs who are ok being left alone for a couple hours and are willing to get lots of walks/playtime at night! In the summer, I’m free to spoil your pet morning, noon, and night! If drop-off or pick-up fall during school hours, I usually ask my boyfriend to assist me. He’s also a big pet lover! I’ll follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of love, and send regular updates. Safety is my priority, ensuring a stress-free experience for both you and your pet while you’re away!
Arlington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anna is an amazing sitter and I would definitely rebook her again. I initially was nervous about using rover since it was my first time, but Anna reassured me by being communicative while she was with my pups. My dogs are rescues who take some time to warm up to folks and Anna was willing to be patient and extra cautious when she was with them. The dogs also had some accidents while I was away and Anna was kind enough to clean up and even adjusted the dogs’ food portions to ensure that they were ok. She’s an excellent and caring sitter!
Guiselle was amazing! Our rottie named Ozzy was so well taken care of, and unlike other Rover’s in the past, Guiselle not only wanted to take care of Ozzy but find games in his room that would mentally stimulate him! She’s amazing, and we can’t wait to use her services again. Thanks Guiselle!
