About: A lifelong animal lover, I'm passionate about providing exceptional care for your furry friends. I have three years of experience providing pet sitting and care for three lovely cats at home. Professionally, I have cared for both cats and dogs short term and recurrently. I am comfortable caring for more than one pet at a time. I have experience with special needs pets, particularly older pets and pets that take oral medications. I enjoy helping shy pets feel comfortable and loved. Punctual and responsible, I offer peace of mind to pet owners. I'm excited to meet your dogs and cats and give them the love and attention they deserve! I am available as a full time sitter and dog walker. I have enough flexibility to make caring for your pet fit comfortably within my weekly routine. I make sure to make pet safety and comfort a priority. I take into account my own experience caring for pets, the owner's guidance, and the pet's comfort and body language into ensuring a safe environment for pet care. I am a reliable, trustworthy, and punctual pet sitter with years of experience caring for both my own and other's pets.

I have a fenced in yard, safety is always on my mind, and I’m very detail oriented. I take my job seriously, and treat your pets as if they are my own.
“Elena was wonderful and took good care of my two boys. I got routine check-ins from her each time she came by and spent good quality time with them. She saved my skin before I was due to be on holiday for 2 weeks in Europe. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again to stay with my dogs.”

About: I’ve been working with pets my entire life. From living with pets my entire life to currently owning a Siberian husky, I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs. I have worked with walking all sorts of dogs, small to big and also have taken care of various pets at their house. I have 5+ years of experience in working with pets and hope to work with yours too! I currently have a full time job but I’m always free to help out on the weekends at anytime And I’m the afternoon. To make sure your pet is safe and okay in the environment while you’re away, I always make sure to send photos to clients of their pet and make sure to spend quality time with their pet so they also can get as much love and affection as possible.
About: I personally have a 2 year old Siberian husky back in Colorado that I dearly miss. I have taken care of smaller dogs like Yorkies as well. I enjoy their company and taking them on walks I’m free mostly on weekends. If you need me to drop off or take them for a walk during week days, I can do so. I work from home Monday and Friday and Tuesday- Wednesday I’m at the office. I prefer to take care of pets in your home. I follow instructions and make sure that their meds/ food or walk requirements are all met.
About: Both my mother and grandmother were professional dog trainers so I've been around many different breeds of dogs for a long time. My grandmother used to own her cat-sitting business and I regularly helped her twice a day whenever I visited her. I helped to prepare food and water for the different cats while also playing with them and making sure they felt comfortable and safe. I often had to deal with very feisty cats so I'm well experienced with more temperamental animals. I am currently a full time high school student so I'll be busy from 8-1:30 weekdays. My only other restrictions is that I have Physical therapy twice a week and Im not available on weekends. Whenever I go to someone else house I'm respectful and courteous to the people living there. Always making sure to follow any specific instructions I was given so the client feels as comfortable and stress-free about me being in their home. I always clean up after myself and try to leave the house looking better than when I first arrived.
“Cindy took excellent care of our cat and our new kitten while we were away for our wedding weekend. At a time where we wanted to be completely present and in the moment, Cindy gave us the mental reassurance to not worry at all about how our cat babies were doing, and that’s the most important quality in a cat sitter. Could not recommend her services enough!”
“Laura was responsive to my request and easy to communicate with. I needed someone to give my dog an insulin injection while I was out of town because my husband doesn’t do shots. We had a meet and greet visit in advance. I found Laura to be pleasant and good with the dogs. The day of Laura’s visit, my husband said she was on time, polite, professional, efficient. We would hire her again.”
“Sarah did a phenomenal job yet again. Even our most skiddish and scared cat came out of hiding by end of day one (second drop-in). Idk what it is about Sarah, but she brought out the best in our cats. All instructions were followed regarding meals, water bowls, medication, and litter scooping. She even brought in our trash can without being asked. All around considerate and thorough. Thanks, Sarah!”
About: I've had pets—cats, dogs, etc.—for the majority of my 34 years on earth. Today, my wife and I have 2 dogs, Abbie (an 8-year-old pit mix) and Scout (a 2-year-old husky-shepherd mix). Both our pups are rescues! I have experience administering oral medication. Both of our pups are medicated for anxiety, so I'm quite comfortable with most medication. I also have some experience administering medication to cats. I work from home as a product designer, so my schedule is quite flexible. I typically let the pups out first thing each morning at around 8am, work through the day, but take periodic breaks for potty breaks and playtime. I'm flexible enough to pivot based on the needs of your pet! First and foremost, I have a conversation with every client to determine their comfort level with things like walks...some things I ask to get started: 1. Does your pet get along with other animals? If not, what are the circumstances or triggers? Abby, for example, doesn't do well with larger dogs because she was bullied as a puppy, so we avoid those triggers to keep her safe. 2. Is your pet a chunky muffin who is being calorie-restricted? Or is it challenging to get them to eat anything, period? 3. How does your pet handle on a leash? Should I watch out for lunging? Do they chase postal service workers? 4. Does your pet chew things that could be dangerous, like electrical cables? These questions help me keep your pet safe and happy at all times!
“Thanks again Hieu and Anna for being so attentive to our pup! Prior to the drop-in, our dog had a stressful experience in the morning that put her on edge for the rest of the day--Hieu and Anna were so great about making sure she felt safe and comfortable. We're so glad to keep working with her new fave aunties!”
“Kerry has been fantastic about taking care of Max, my Boston Terrier. She has been terrific for house sitting and drop-in visits. My dog loves her — I bet yours will, too!”
“Tatum was wonderful! This was the first time using her services and I will definitely reach out to her next time we need to travel. We have 2 kitties, Priscila and Pepper and Tatum took great care of them and played a lot with Pepper who is extra needy. I highly recommend Tatum, she is amazing and we couldn’t be happier with her services.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12! I used to work at a small business where dogs would get dropped off while their owners are on vacation. I actively walk dogs/ pet sit in the Fairfax County area! I am currently a student at NOVA so I am very available! I work my schedule around the animal and their needs, so whatever you need I can help with! I have three dogs of my own and I love them to pieces! I enjoy playing with them in the backyard and taking them on walks, or just hanging around with them.
About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Over the years, I've cared for a Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Chocolate Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also been the trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat all pets like they were my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Because I have plenty of availability, your pet will receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care you can count on. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, and I'll always do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. Many dogs are happiest in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That's why I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care in your home while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. While you're away, I'll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular photo and message updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
About: I have a pembroke welsh corgi who is nine years young and a chow chow diva who is five years old. My pooches have polar opposite personalities but are both bundles of joy. My corgi has been with me since puppy-hood and my chow was rescued a year ago. I am a very lucky fur-parent :) Dogs are definitely more than just a pet. With that in mind, I have no problem providing lots of attention, rubs, treats, and playtime to pamper your fur-child. On the other hand, I can be strict and make sure everyone is playing by the house rules (and staying off your leather sofa!). I will be providing strictly one-on-one attention to your pooch and will not have any other dogs with me. Whatever reasonable requests you have, I will be sure to accommodate. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask! I am currently a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. That ensures ample time is spent with your furry loved one with lots of attention to give. I ensure all doors that are meant to be closed are securely shut and I am mindful of escape artists. I ensure the house is in order so there are no safety hazards.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burke
We had a great experience with our dog sitter! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Suki and for sending photos and updates while we were away. It was so nice to see how she was doing and know she was in good hands. We really appreciate the care and attention you gave her!
Rachel was the best! She is competent and communicative. It was easy to go out of town because she loved on my dog and sent wonderful photos and fun stories about their adventures! Both my boys are older (13 and almost 15) and one has 3 legs. She was great at keeping my reactive big dog calm and he loved all her cuddles and treats and trips outside! She comforted my small tripod through the thunderstorm and he greatly appreciated her lifting him up onto the couch for snuggles and her carrying him home when he got tired after she let him explore and sniff out all his fave places. Thanks and the boys say woof!
Michelle is absolutely fantastic and took such good care of our boy! She made sure to give him a lot of attention, playtime, and pets. We just moved and our dog is still adjusting, she was very attentive to this fact and definitely helped him have an easy day. Her narratives are so great and really paint the picture of her time with our boy. We would highly recommend Michelle!
Rachel has been great with our adult dog and our very young puppy! We needed someone to come and check in on the puppy while we're at work, feed him, and take him out. She gives a comprehensive update everyday and has taken some very cute pictures of the dogs, including our older girl who refuses to look at a camera. We're very grateful she's been able to give us a hand!
Ella took amazing care of Bailey while we were away. She was attentive, patient, reliable, followed our routine perfectly and sent the best daily photo updates. I was able to relax on my trip knowing my fur baby was well taken care of. We will definitely book Ella again!!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burke choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
