“Rylee did a phenomenal job watching my two mini poodles, Callie and Millie! She was very patient with them (they can be little divas) and she provided excellent communication throughout her stay. AND my house was cleaner than when I left it! Will absolutely be hiring Rylee again!”

“We had a great experience with Paris. She was responsive, sent great pictures of our pup, and took wonderful care of her while we were away for the weekend. We would absolutely use her again!”

“Fernanda was so helpful! We booked her last minute before a trip out of town for Memorial Day and she was able to accommodate us and stay at our own home with our two pups. She’s so responsive and gives updates every day. We are so glad to find someone who we can use in the future!”

“Kylee did an amazing job with our anxious pup! She couldn’t have been more patient or inventive, and our house was in great condition upon our return. We’ll definitely use her again!”

About: I have ten years of experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to elderly. I've trained and socialized puppies, ran with energetic younger dogs, and gone on leisurely walks with elderly dogs. I've also worked with rescues to promote a calm and trusting relationship. I currently have a set schedule with several established clients, three in the morning and two in the afternoon. I am otherwise available at your convenience! I live in an apartment building with several parks nearby. I'm happy to travel within the Arlington area so that your dog receives the best care.
“Orianne was amazing with our girl Brandy. She took the time to work through Brandy’s anxiety and was so patient and understanding along the way. It’s hard to come across sitters that pay attention to every little detail, but Orianne is beyond detailed oriented. Will definitely be booking her again without hesitation.”

“We’ve been using Hannah for a few months now and she’s the best! Super reliable, communicative, and always attentive to Azul’s routine. He has separation anxiety so there’s a few extra steps involved in his care, and she’s always so thoughtful about handling everything. It’s such a relief having someone dependable we can trust with him :)”

“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”

“Aly did an overnight with our pup and was great. She is a fabulous communicator and is very responsible. Our dog was having tummy problems when we left him so we had to change up some of his food and she jumped right in and helped make things super easy!”

“Paul and his wife stayed at my house with my elderly dog. They were fantastic communicators, sending lots of messages and pictures and asking questions when they needed to. I highly recommend them. I have already signed them up to watch Gert again!”

About: Hi! I’m a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties who are nearly two years old. I’ve always loved animals, but I have a special bond with cats and feel very confident caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family care for their cats, feeding, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them the attention they need while their humans are away. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own. I’m available to stop by for feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and snuggles (if your kitty is into that!). I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I'm usually available after 4 PM on weekdays, and I’d be happy to drop by in the evenings to feed, play with, and care for your cat(s). I can typically stay for a couple of hours to make sure they’re comfortable, entertained, and well cared for. On weekends, I’m more flexible and can stop by anytime. As long as I have a bit of notice, I’m happy to plan my schedule around your needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I make sure doors and windows are securely closed, keep an eye out for any hazards, and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding routines to litter box cleaning and favorite hiding spots. I always take the time to get to know each cat’s personality and comfort level, so they feel safe and relaxed while their humans are away. Whether they’re playful or shy, I go at their pace and provide gentle, attentive care. Trust is very important to me. I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, and anything I notice, so you always know your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. In college I fostered about 10 different dogs age ranges from 12 weeks-14 years old. Lots of different dog types, personalities, and foster reasons. I love them all and will love to spend time with your pup! I work from home 3x a week and my schedule is flexible! I walk everyday and would love to have a walking buddy while helping out an owner! I have a fenced in yard if needed for a dog to play. I am very responsible when it comes to the care of the dog and the home of the owner. It would be like I wasn’t even there!
About: I've taken care of several dogs both small and large of different kinds since I was 12. This includes a Chihuahua mix, a Maltipoo, a corgi mix, and a Labrador Retriever. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, walk and play with their pets over the years including homesitting up to two weeks. I’m in between work, taking small audio editing, or software projects - all remotely! So i got the time and flexibility to take care of your pets! I don’t mind sleeping with pets or setting boundaries to keep their routine disciplined! I am mindful of other pets on walks and redirect dogs when they get amped up
“We appreciated Nicole’s attentiveness with our pups, updates and photos, and knew our dogs were so well cared for while we were gone for Thanksgiving.”

“Korrey was amazing! He was very attentive and understand with my concerns regarding general care, as well as my dog’s previous health issues. He kept me up to date with everything they were doing from her behavior, her day-to-day routine, etc.! He was extremely charismatic and went the extra mile for my girl. I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!”

“Angela took incredible care of our dog and our home while we were away for the weekend! From start to finish, she was extremely responsive, polite, and completely respectful of our space. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay with detailed check-ins and sent plenty of wonderful photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while away. It was clear our pup was happy, well-loved, and kept right on his routine. We couldn’t have asked for a friendlier or more trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their dog!”

Livvy was super conscientious. She asked good questions at the onset about our pets schedule, needs and preferences. We heard from her throughout her stay with our 13 y.o. dog with photos and updates. We didn’t worry a minute and could fully enjoy our vacation. She even cleaned so we came home to a house better than we left it!

Troy was great with our senior dog! He house sat for us for a week and was communicative with needs and questions. Our pup can be anxious when we leave and he had no problems with Troy. Also, our place has never been so clean after a Rover stay. We would definitely recommend Troy!

Paola was a lifesaver! She was able to do a short notice booking and was nothing short of awesome in caring for our babies and our house. She sent frequent updates, took great care of our cat and elderly dog, and was extremely responsive. She also took very good care of our house and was very respectful of the property. Absolutely recommend Paola and will definitely be booking with her again in future!

Karalynn cared for our dog and 2 cats while we attended a wedding out of state. We cannot thank her enough. Karalynn is communicative, loving, and hard-working. She incorporated all the care plans we left for our family without a hiccup. And she sent some really cute and funny photos! She honestly made the entire experience of leaving your family at home easy. Thank you so much, Karalynn.

Angela took incredible care of our dog and our home while we were away for the weekend! From start to finish, she was extremely responsive, polite, and completely respectful of our space.

We’ll definitely be booking Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their dog!

This was our first time leaving our dogs with Vivian and she was wonderful! Our dogs really connected with her, including one that's a bit on the shy side. She left our home in great shape, is incredibly responsive, and sent photos and updates along the way that put my mind at ease. Highly recommend her!

Molly took wonderful care of our two cats: administering medications, playing, and giving them time and attention. Molly has a wealth of experience with animals, and is patient and thoughtful. We came home to two happy, healthy cats, and we’ll be booking with Molly again for our next long trip. It’s a huge relief to find a pet sitter that you trust completely!

Richard was fantastic! He took wonderful care of our two Frenchies and our home while we were away for a long weekend. It was clear that the pups were comfortable with him and got plenty of love, attention, and care. Richard was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease knowing everything was in good hands. We came home to two happy Frenchies and a clean, well-cared-for house. We’d absolutely have Richard house sit for us again and highly recommend him!
