“Madison was great with our older dog Ruby. She made it a point to share an update with us during each visit and provided pictures of Ruby as well throughout the week. We really appreciate Madison’s help while we went on vacation for the week and would trust her to checkin on Ruby again :)”

“Anna was SUCH a great caretaker of our two kitties while we were away for a week. She’s very communicative, punctual, and follows directions well. Our cats seemed like they enjoyed her company a lot and were very well taken care of.”

“Ciara was great! We were gone for a couple of days and needed someone to check in on our cats. She was communicative and the cats were well taken care of while we were gone.”

“Nicole is a wonderful dog walker. You can tell she really cares about your pet. She is also very reliable - always shows up and is very communicative via the app. Shelby enjoyed her walks/runs with Nicole!”

“Matthew is awesome! He helped me with a last minute drop-in visit request and was super patient with my senior, special needs Maltipoo, Happy. I loved the photo update and look forward to using him again.”

About: I’ve been professionally dog walking and pet sitting for 6+ years and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life and I’m truly an animal lover at heart. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy pups, leash training, and shy or anxious pets who may need a little extra patience and care. I also love keeping pet parents updated with daily photos and videos so you can feel connected and worry-free while you’re away! Monday – Friday: 6:00 AM – 5:00 PM Weekends: Flexible hours! Let’s coordinate based on your pet’s needs. Need something outside of this? I’m happy to accommodate special schedules when possible—just reach out! • Always on time and respectful of your home • I double-check doors, gates, and food instructions—no detail is too small! • I will always provide a lot of love and respect for your place (and your pup)!
“Hera was an excellent cat sitter for Hunter! She was communicative and responsive and I knew my little guy was in good hands with her. Also was wonderful to get the photos and updates while I was away!”

“Orianne provided care for my cat for the first time last week while I was out of town. I appreciated that she responded to my request sort of last minute. She was on-time and provided all the services I requested for each visit. She immediately reported an issue when it happened and it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend Orianne for pet care.”

“Daniel has been an awesome drop in sitter. Extremely reliable and a great communicator. I am happy to have his services for the duration of my stay in NOVA!”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and love to play and walk or even just hang out with them. If you need I am a responsible owner who will take your dog to the park or a long walk! I am still in school and I work part-time but I can definitely work around that. I am available most afternoons and weekends as well. I will take your pet to the dog park or a long walk or just hang out with them if they need company. Whatever is needed!

About: I had my dog for 11 years of my life, until she recently passed. I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat for two years. While I miss my pet, I would find so much joy in caring for yours! I’m currently home for the summer from college, and I have a very free summer! I am super flexible and can care for your fur babies whenever you need! I have a fenced yard, and when I am out of my house the pet would be safely confined to one room and made as comfortable as possible. I am fully comfortable walking your dog as needed, and having play time!
“Ann was so great taking care of my cat while I was gone. She provided great photos and was very good with communication! I could tell she cared for my cat like she was one of her own.”

About: We strive to provide health and happiness for your furry family member! We are a mother son team! Between the two of us, we have over 20 years of work experience caring for pets in MD, MO, DMV, VA, And TX and locally. We specialize in large and giant dog care as we have a large and giant breed dog. We enjoy spending our time with pets and their people. I accompany my 10 yo son every home we visit. He will walk, play with, feed, water, and pick up after your pets while on a walk. I usually will clean if your pet has made a mess, uses the litter box etc. I have a background in animal care including goats, cattle, horses and your pets at home. My education is in Animal Science and Agriculture. You're always welcome to follow us on Instagram Alpha_Zulu_K9 We post more pictures of our experience as pet sitters and your doggy superstar! We look forward to helping you care for your 4 footed family! Because our PRIMARY concern is the health and safety of your furry family member, before we have the stay, ALL dogs MUST provide proof of RABIES AND BORDATELLA (KENNEL COUGH). We WILL NOT ALLOW your dog to board without the proper vaccinations. I work from home. For the most part I am always home with your pets. I usually walk every morning for about 4 miles. During the summer I do not do long walks during the afternoon. Evening walks are usually about a mile. Because we don’t have a a large yard, and a doggy door animals are always on leash when they need to go out. We walk our long distances in the morning before the temperature is above 85 degrees. Summer heat can be very dangerous so we do all we can to avoid heat stress. No matter how well your doggie works with you, they might not follow commands from us. Therefore your baby is never off leash when we leave the home for walks, potty breaks, etc. The only difference is at a dog park. We do take your babies to the park with your permission.
“Kristina, was above and beyond with Max! This was our first time leaving Max with someone else and I loved the great communication, pictures, and I felt at ease with her work! Thank you for everything!!”

“Yulia gave me peace of mind for my first time leaving my kitty home. Yulia came on time, fed DeeDee, and played with her. DeeDee really enjoyed her company. I’m so happy my cat was safe with her.”


“Robert is a genuine cat (and dog) person. He gave us great confidence leaving our two mischievous cats under his care. He communicated well, sent cute photos each day, and really cared about making sure the kitties had not just food/water/litter but also friendly affection. I would hire him again any time!”

“Thomas went above and beyond with our girls! He spent lots of time playing/petting, sent great pictures and gave thorough reports. All of this gave us peace of mind that they were in good hands while we were out of the country. I’d highly recommend him!”

“Susan has been kind, considerate, and a great help with Beans! I feel comfortable trusting her with my pups. We will definitely be using her services again :)”

Arlington Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maia was absolutely fantastic! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of adorable photos and lengthy notes with updates on my cats. I have two little anxious babies and she was so good about making sure they took their meds and I could see from the photos how relaxed they were around her. When I came home they weren’t even mad at me for being gone! Would 10/10 recommend!

Ann was an incredible pet sitter. She was well-organized, always kept us informed about our cat's status, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure our cat had a positive experience. If I ever need a pet sitter, I will definitely go with Ann again, and I could not recommend her more.

I had a great experience meeting with Fernanda during our meet and greet. She's friendly, professional, and took the time to get to know both me and my cat (even though she was hiding!). I appreciated how thoughtful she was in asking questions about my cat's routine, preferences, and care needs. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best possible care. The meet and greet left me feeling confident and comfortable about leaving my cat in her care. I would absolutely recommend Fernanda to other pet parents looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
