“Lucy and I had a great experience with Evan and his wife! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”
“Alyce and her family were so welcoming of Breck for his recent sleepover. I got lots of updates and felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with them for a stay. They made us feel like family! I will 100% book with them again.”
“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Amal is such a gem! She did a wonderful job making sure Rumi had a lot of fun and a lot of love while I was away. Rumi had no anxiety during her stay and was happy and comfortable in all her photos. I highly recommend Amal, you can rest assured your pup will be in the best hands!”
“Kelly has watched my older lab a few times now and we are so thankful to have found her. She takes great care of him and has helped me out of a couple binds (last minute drop-off/pick-up changes and stays).”
“We’re so grateful for the care our sitter gave our two pups during their stay. What began as a few days of boarding turned into a longer stay because of an unexpected medical emergency, and she was incredibly kind, flexible, and accommodating the entire time. Knowing our dogs were safe, cared for, and in good hands brought us real peace of mind during a very stressful situation. We truly appreciate her compassion and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Chris is amazing and patient with my girls. I love how he sends videos and photos often. I feel so confident that they are being taken care of and that they are happy!”
“Briana was a very caring rover by updating me throughout the day with pictures and activities. Her boyfriend was an additional helping hand to look after miley as well. Would recommend to others in need of a pet sitter!”
“Outstanding host! She took excellent care of our English bulldog and provided funny notes and photos throughout his stay. We will absolutely book with Jen again! 5 stars!”
“Our dog Sonny stayed with Aisha for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. We were very grateful for her daily reports - she provided a lot of thoughtful commentary about our dog's behavior and numerous picture updates. From our meet and greet to drop off and pickup, Aisha was an absolute pleasure to work with and it's easy to understand why she has so many repeat customers. We 100% recommend her and look forward to another opportunity to board!”
About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.
“Nala had such a fun sleep over with Nyla and her other dogs. I appreciated all of the updates and photos and videos! I rescued Nala just 3 weeks ago and was grateful to Nyla for understanding that I don’t know everything about Nala yet. I’d love for Nala to be able to return to her loving care.”
“My dog Shira had yet another wonderful stay with Nicole when my husband and I went abroad for a wedding. Not only Nicole took care of Shira in her home, she sent us many pictures of her stay. Nicole also visited our cat Morris every day and because our cat was feeling especially lonely, Nicole showed him extra loving and care with daily brushing and cat teaser play. Shira and Morris are looking forward to spending more time with Nicole right before Christmas, Nicole is a wonderful petsitter and communicator.”
“Katherin is wonderful! Very friendly and attentive. She took great care of my dog and was very communicative and regularly sent pictures with updates. My dog enjoyed their weekend together, highly recommend booking with Katherin!”
“Joel and his family took excellent care of my dog when I was away for 10 days! He was communicative, relaxed, and sent lots of pictures and updates. They have dogs, so are really good with them and provide a safe, fun, stable environment. I will definitely use Joel again!”
“Jorge and Alejandra were AMZAZING!! I have a very anxious girl (dog) Roo and they made sure she was very comfortable and felt right at home! They were great about sending updates and putting my mind at ease! Roo had a great time and was very tired when she came home! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them! They truly treated her like part of the family and I will be contacting them when needed again!”
“Everything that my special dog tells me about Supon and his care is 5 stars and above! Bremen tells me in the wonderful photos and captions I receive during his stay that Supon sends me so that I am seeing how much joy and love there is where he is. And, he tells me when he bounds into my arms with total satisfaction of a time well spent. Supon is a special, first-rate, caretaker of dogs like mine - special.”
“We were so happy with Troy watching our Husky! He was communicative and sent photos. He took our dog for a walks and stayed active, so our dog came home happy and sleepy. Would definitely book again!”
Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!
This was my first time using rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. John was reliable, communicative, and cared about Bella well being. I would receive updates and photos which gave me peace knowing she was good while I was gone. Bella was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. John would take her on daily walks which Bella loved. Great service would recommend!!!!
Alaine took care of our pup for over a week and we could not be more pleased with the care and attention she provided. She gave us updates with photos twice a day and provided a great environment for Watson. We look forward to using her daycare and boarding services again in the near future!
Paul was fantastic with our dog, Theia. He really knows dogs and understands them. Theia is a high energy pointer. a rescue weary of people, that loves social interactions with other dogs. He let her warm up to him at her pace and did not try to force the relationship. He posted photos and let us know how she was doing. By day3 she was going under his desk while he was working and by day 4 she was going between his legs and letting him pet her a little. He praised her and let her interact with his 11 week old kitten, which she’s never done before. We would have Paul care for Theia anytime.
Shannon was excellent with our high-energy dog, Tito! Her experience with dogs was obvious from the start, and it really showed in the way she cared for and handled him. She was attentive, communicative, and provided great updates throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing Tito was in such good hands. Highly recommend! 10/10
