“One more highly positive review for Jasper. We had to find a new cat sitter and from the start Jasper was EXTREMELY professional. He made the entire process worry-free. His communication is great and daily updates were helpful. He was incredibly attentive and loving towards our furry friends, ensuring they were happy. Highly recommended! We'll reach out to him first next time we need a cat sitter. Thank you sir!”


“Maddy was a great help while we were away on vacation. She checked on our cats and fed them. The daily check ins were so helpful to calm my anxiety. Thank you so much, Maddy!”


“This was our first experience booking a cat sitter through Rover. Meah was wonderful! When we got home it was obvious that our cats were well taken care of. We appreciated the detailed notes on her visits and photos of our cats. We hope to book Meah again in the future!”


“I highly recommend Skyler. She agreed to a meet and greet before booking the job. She is punctual, dependable, and friendly. I received daily reports and photos. When I arrived home, my cats were relaxed and happy. I will definitely book with Skyler in the future.”


“Andrea was great with our girlies (our kitties), Lucy and Stella! Thank you , so much, for the regular updates and photos! We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great caregiver for their furry family members!!”


“Fern was wonderful with our two kittens while we were away! One of our kittens is very shy, but Fern’s gentle care worked wonders-she managed to coax him out of his shell. It was a relief knowing they were in such capable hands. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn't be more grateful. Fern is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a knack for connecting with animals.”


“Brenda was awesome! She took lots of photos and made me feel at ease being away from my sweet girl, Maple. She was very easy to work with and responded quickly. I’m so glad I chose her and knew she would be the right choice! Highly recommend 🤗”



“Abby was amazing taking care of my Pandora! It took awhile for our Pandora to warm up to her but she handled it beautifully and we appreciated the care she took while we were away for 2 weeks! Thanks so much! We'll be using her again in the future. A+++”


About: I have 9+ years of experience working as a dog walker and carer. I also volunteered at a dog rescue for an additional 2 years. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and with all sorts of personalities and physical limitations. Each dog requires their own individual attention based on their upbringing, age, and physical capabilities. I am patient and affectionate with dogs and love taking them outdoors to stretch their legs and explore the world. I hope you will consider me as your dog's next new friend. I live in a house with a small fenced yard, but take my dogs (and will take your fur baby) on several walks every day. I feed my dogs on their schedule and can easily follow your dog's schedule, being mindful of his/her specific needs. When boarding your dog at my home, your pup will be treated as lovingly as mine. I cuddle, play, and exercise with the dogs. I make sure your dog is happy while you're away, and I send a lot of pictures and videos. I know I would love the same if my dog were in your hands. I generally do Rover walks Mondays-Wednesdays in Alexandria. I host dogs for daycare or boarding at my house in Manassas on Wednesday nights through Sunday nights. Your fur baby is in great hands at my home. I give lots of pets and cuddles, as well as taking your pup out to stretch his/her legs. I have a two dogs who enjoy playing tug and chase with new furry friends. There's also a shy cat who lives in the house, so your dog has to be good with cats.

“Our kitties are our furry children. Not only are they spoiled but we also have one that requires meds twice daily and not at an hour that anyone would want to be chasing a cat with medication. Katey took on the mission and finished it beautifully. At my request, she came over before hand to meet everyone and continued that while we were away. She even got to see one of our children that normally hides from the world. Somehow Katey was able to find her, put her food nearby and even got a picture! Cannot say enough great things about this sitter! She updated me with pics and texts as well.”


“Jennifer took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! She came to the house to meet them as soon as we booked and took great care to attend to their needs. I would recommend Jennifer to any pet owner. Thank you!”


“Jacob has been a great taking care of my dog while I’ve been away. He’s been great with sending updates and pictures of my fur baby. I’d definitely recommend Jacob to anyone looking to help take of their pets.”


About: I've had dogs my entire life. In the last few years I've boarded over 30 dogs at the house. I've completed over 250 services on wag with dogs, cats, and a pig while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating. References available upon request. Pet care is my full time job. Dogs will have free range around the house and I'm with them 100% of the time unless I have to go walk another dog. My house has a dog door attached to a fenced backyard which the dogs have full access to throughout the day. They're also allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a nice trail by the house which my dog and I walk about 5 miles a day on.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs from chihuahuas to bull mastiffs my entire life. One of my cats I raised from a two-week old kitten who needed to be syringe-fed every few hours when I was 15, so I am very familiar and comfortable with the amount of care that goes into raising a fur baby. I have worked in the pet grooming industry for three years now and work with all kinds of personalities every day and strive to make every experience with a pet as calm and as positive as I can. I am a full-time dog groomer, so I work 8.5-9 hours at the most 5 days out of the week, but I am able to attend to pets immediately before and following my work day. Your pet’s health and safety is my number one priority! Having worked very closely with dogs and cats (as well as having several of my own!), I am quick to identify any changes in habit or behavior in a pet. I am also super patient with pets and am more than happy to work with them to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible in my care.

About: I’m an avid animal lover with a remote day job working for an animal rights nonprofit. I previously worked as a professional dog walker in the Northern Virginia area. I've had the pleasure of providing top-notch services including daytime puppy training, dog walking, cat sitting and overnight stays to help furry friends get relief and feel safe, secure, and comfortable when their human is away from home. I also have a background volunteering at the SPCA in Charlottesville, where I assisted with dog walking and cat socialization. I’ve worked with a wide range of animals with varying sizes and energy levels. I am ready to provide your beloved animal with the love, care, and attention they deserve. I am available for in-home overnight visits during the week or weekend. During the week, I am available for morning visits between 9am-11am, afternoon visits between 1pm-3pm, and evening visits upon request. I am unable to accept clients in my home at this time. I welcome instructions from clients to ensure visits to their home run smoothly. I can easily crate dogs or leave them uncrated. I am happy to fill up water bowls and provide a treat or meal if requested. Please let me know where the leash and harness are within the home (if requesting a dog walk), and whether indoor enrichment is preferred during rainy weather. I am happy to take dogs out for a short potty break or longer walk in rainy weather but recommend a towel be left so I may dry your dog(s) off.

Deanna W.Star Sitter
“Deanna has had her dog for a while now, and I know of how she has cared for others. Even when she took in one dog that had pretty extreme behavioral issues she still put all of her energy to ensure that it received as much care as possible. I cannot imagine anyone more well-equipped or more patient to handle dogs and the particular requirements each dog may bring. She is extremely caring, but also understands that some dogs require training and boundaries to ensure that they are properly exercised and stimulated mentally.”

Daniel G.
“I call Daniel the dog whisperer. They flock to him and love spending time around him. My dog liked to lay around his head! His house is perfect for boarding with a large doggie door and a spacious enclosed yard. I love hearing the stories of all the different dogs he's met and cared for.. including his favorite pig! His special touch and attentiveness is just what every pet needs.”


Lauren H.

“I have worked side by side with Lauren for about a year and a half. We work in a popular and busy grooming shop. After 17 years in this line of work I have seen a lot of coworkers come and go. Lauren is one of those types of coworkers that has repeatedly impressed me with her ability to stay calm, kind, and in control of the dogs she is providing services for. Her love of all animals and her understanding of the importance of safety are 2 qualities that really make Lauren someone I respect. I don’t have a dog at this point in my life, but I would definitely trust Lauren to take care of them and keep them safe at the same time. She is absolutely someone I would trust to be respectful of my home while giving my pets the type of safe and responsible care and high quality snuggles they would be needing if I couldn’t be there.”
