“Marie is amazing!!! My pets were thoughtfully taken care of and she provided me multiple updates and pictures while I was away! Would recommend and definitely will book again!”
“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”
“Renee went above and beyond taking care of our dog, including leaving him rose petals on Valentine's day! She provided regular updates and was sure to snuggle up with him a ton while we were away! Thank you so much for the wonderful care!!”
“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”
“I recently booked Julia to house sit and look after my young cat while I was on vacation. My cat hasn’t been away from me for long and I was worried about leaving her. Julia was incredibly helpful and responsive, completely making me feel at ease throughout the process. She is professional, an intelligent communicator, and very gifted with animals. My cat is very shy but I could tell that she was happy and comfortable with Julia through the many pictures and videos I received. Highly recommend. Thank you Julia! I will be booking again!”
“This was the third (and longest) stay that Strider was with my 3 dogs and it was just as great as the last. He provides thorough updates, even when I’m too busy to reply, and you can tell my dogs are very comfortable with him. He leaves my home in great condition (stripping the bed, dishes in dishwasher and trash out). He’s even gone so far as to unload my dishwasher for me! Thank you so much for being reliable during this very busy month for us!!”
“Addie was great! Our dog can be very anxious, especially with new people and in new places, but she seemed to trust Addie very quickly and we felt much more comfortable leaving her with someone while we went out.”
“Carrie was great! She was accommodating, communicative, and clearly loved by our two dogs, who she took care of over the holiday. She gave meds and walked them daily, sent photos, and snuggled them. She also kept the house clean and was considerate about taking the garbage out and starting the laundry. I would recommend her!”
“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”
“We booked for Christina for house/dog sitting over the weekend and had a great experience. She sent daily updates of our dogs and left our house in great condition. We'd definitely book with Christina again.”
“Whitney watched our new puppy so we could finally have a day away! We felt so comfortable and confident after our meet and greet, and our pup Luna seems to have had the best time! And we got super cute photo updates!! Bonus! Highly recommend”
“Mya is wonderful!! She took great care of Violet while we were gone for a week. We got daily pictures! Mya provided a lot of snuggles and love. We are already booking with Mya again!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Zoe! Bailey - who is a great judge of character - like her so much he even slept in the bed with her! Without asking she brought in our recycling and trash bins in addition to bringing our packages indoors - truly going above and. Highly recommend her if you want a trustworthy, loving sitter!”

“Shereen has been absolutely WONDERFUL! Took pictures everyday and kept me informed everyday! So grateful and thankful to have found her as this was my 1st experience leaving my dog with someone!! Will definitely use her again and again !!! My dog 🐶 loved her too !!!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and genuine care. What sets me apart is my calm and consistent presence, which helps pets feel safe, especially in their own home. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m available every week day between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, which gives me a consistent window to dedicate time and attention to pets. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so walking dogs or caring for pets during that time fits perfectly into my schedule. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also keep the environment clean and give pets plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
“Alston took great care of my dog, Leo. She was able to help me on short notice after another sitter cancelled on me. Alston sent me daily updates with photos. Leo was happy and healthy when I returned. She also took great care of my home and It was just as clean as when I left. I would be happy to use her services again in the future.”

Arlington Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
My dog took to Ariel instantly and I could tell from the pics she sent that he was a happy, goofy boy while I was away for a few days. Ariel took terrific care of him and obviously loved on him. She left the house immaculate and communicated excellently during her stay. (Took the best photos of him I've ever seen!) I would definitely book Ariel again and would trust her to take care of my fur child! Thanks Ariel!
We were so happy that we found Ali to house sit for our 2 dogs and cat! She is incredibly kind, respectful, and answers promptly. Ali accommodated a short notice meet and greet that helped put us at ease, knowing that our crew would be in great hands. With a new house and a 2yo GSD recovering from CCL surgery, it definitely was a challenging sit & not easy for anyone to jump into. We recieved plenty of updates, pics, and helpful/insightful post-visit notes. Thank you again Ali for handling this like a true professional! We hope to have you back soon!
Grace did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She went above and beyond taking care of them. And best of all, it seemed like she really enjoyed spending time with them which is always comforting when you’re away from your pets! She is a true dog lover and I would recommend her to anyone :)
Liudmyla was an OUTSTANDING dog and house sitter. I am so lucky to have found her. She stayed in our house for 10 days while we were out of the country for a wedding, and it was such a relief to not have to worry about our clingy 6 month old puppy while we were gone. Liudmyla sent tons of photos and videos and was not shy to ask questions when our instructions were not clear. We will definitely be booking Liudmyla again!
Hani treats Pearl like a beloved family member, and we’re so grateful! He and his wife, Cat, are such caring people. I trust them with my baby girl 100%. Expect your dog to get lots of love if you have Hani dogsit for you. Pearl is always so happy to see Hani, Cat, and their whole family. Don’t hesitate to book with him!
Wow. I was in a bind and needed someone to house sit my senior dog last minute and Carolyn went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. She asked all the right questions and even sent cute pictures of my baby while I was away! She is beyond trustworthy and I feel so lucky that she was there to take care of my dog!
Karly did amazing with our 2 dogs for a 7 day house sitting. She took amazing photos everyday and gave us the peace of mind while we were away. As a fellow Rover Sitter myself I would highly recommend Karly and we will be using her again in the future.
Dana is a real gem! She is communicative, caring and punctual…everything you hope to experience with someone who is watching your pet or home. She even dealt with an unexpected lightning strike to a tree near my home with professionalism. I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone looking for a quality sitter.
Clarise was absolutely amazing and took great care of Chadwick. She was extremely responsive and communicative. She shared lots of pictures and spoiled Chadwick rotten! I look forward to continuing Clarise’s care with Chadwick! She’s the best pet sitter and we highly recommend!
Laura was amazing with our senior cat. Laura ensured that she was eating and drinking (including some creative methods to increase appetite!), gave her regular exercise, and provided constant updates with lots of photos and videos. The cat couldn't be happier. Laura treated our home with respect and is generally a kind and friendly person. Highly recommend!
