“Jasper and Zoey bonded immediately. He kept us updated with many pictures. It is comforting to know you can leave town and your baby is in good hands. Thank you Jasper!”


“Ty was very responsive to our requests for updates and the dogs seemed loved and well cared for. Our fish died while we were gone and Ty helped take it out and dispose of it. The house was clean and as we left it upon our return”


“Daniel took care of our two boys while we were away. He gave them lots of love and attention providing us with daily photos. He was very respectful of house rules. We will be using him in future.”


“Maddy is a great sitter. This was our first sit with her and she adapted well to an unexpected heavysnow storm and took great care of our 3 fur babies. Her communication and responsiveness were excellent..”


“Andrea is an excellent caregiver! She stayed in our home with our 14 year old Havanrse who suffers from separation anxiety. She was patient and loving with him. We look forward to her visit and cate for our fur baby again!”


“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”


“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.”


“Took the best care of my pups. They got all the love and attention. Excellent choice if you’re looking for someone attentive, kind, and that truly cares for your animals!”


About: I pet sit for my friends i like to have fun with dogs play around with them take them out for walks. We have a Shih Tzu in our house. We adopted her at 8 weeks old. She is now 3.5 years old and a joy to be around. I take her out every four hours to pee and / or poop. We are a family of 3 and pride ourselves in the love we share for our puppy and our friend animals when they need help. Your loved one will never be left unattended and we can’t wait to welcome them into our home. Will keep you posted with pictures and videos throughout their stay. Rather it’s an overnight stay, someone to play with your little one or take them out for a walk. We can and will be happy to assist you. I currently work from home 2 days a week but one of my daughters are home the rest of the time. We are are very flexible. We doggie proof the house and allow the fur babies to roam free. They all treated like family, no different than one of our kids.

“Kaylee was AWESOME!! I booked last minute and Kaylee responded quickly. She was a little early coming over the day we were leaving (thank goodness). I was very worried about leaving my babies....dog and a cat and she made me feel so at ease :). Both Mena and Leo got along with her right away!! Kaylee sent me pictures and texts which made me feel good to see my babies! This was my first experience with Rover and thanks to Kaylee I now know both my husband and I can both leave with no worries. I would definitely use Kaylee again and would recommend her to anyone!! Thank You Sooooooo Much Again Kaylee!!!!”


About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines, and I take pride in making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their families are away. My current schedule is very flexible, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays after mid-afternoon and have open availability on weekends. Whether it’s a daily walk, a weekend stay, or overnight care, I can work with your timing and your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where your dog will feel right at ease. My space is clean and secure, with a fenced yard for outdoor play and relaxing sun time. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

“Michael was absolutely amazing with our sweet big boy for 10 days while we were out of town. Our guy has newly started having seizures and while we hoped he wouldn’t have one while we were gone he ended up having 4. Michael was not experienced beforehand with sitting with dogs who have seizures but made sure to ask all the questions before hand to make sure he knew what to do. And thankfully he did. He even ended up giving our guy a rectal suppository after the regular medications were not working sufficiently and stayed with him until we were home to ensure a safe handoff. To top it off he also checked in with us later to see how Moko was doing. We could not recommend him more. Thank you again Michael!”


“Shannon is wonderful!!! I came home to a happy dog and a clean house!! She was very communicative during my time away and I felt so comfortable with her services. She is kind and so gentle with my senior dog! I can’t say enough nice things about Shannon! She is so good!!!!”


“Ann is a fabulous dog sitter!!! She took such good care of our puppy even when he kept her up half the night… she sent us lots of pictures and has wonderful energy. We definitely will work with her again :)”


“Sarina did a great job with my two German Shepherds. Both of them have very specific diets and medical needs and I can tell by their condition, that she followed all the instructions that I left for her. My dogs and the house were in great condition when I returned. Also, I got great reports and pics of my dogs daily. I will definitely use her again .”


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.
