About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

Marissa immediately agreed to extend her services when I told her what was going on. When I (finally) made it home, Peaty was happy and well-cared for and my apartment was pristine. Would work with Marissa again in a heartbeat!”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!

About: I’m an active, dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy everything from neighborhood walks and playtime to feeding, check-ins, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine and instructions, and I’ll always provide clear communication, photos, and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I also have a flexible schedule, making me available for weekday, weekend, and many last-minute requests. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and extended care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate both regular bookings and many last-minute requests. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention while they’re with me. I have a fenced-in yard that I keep well maintained and a clean, comfortable home. I’m careful about following each owner’s routines and instructions, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care.

Emily did an outstanding job dog sitting for us! She was professional, friendly, and communicative throughout her stay. She seems to really understand our quirky senior hound. We returned home to a spotless house and a very calm dog. I highly recommend Emily!

Stephanie was such a great sitter and we are very pleased with our first experience using Rover because of her! She took amazing care of our dog, our 2 cats, and home for 7 days. Stephanie was able to meet with us under short notice before our trip and was very friendly. Throughout her stay, she sent lots of updates and pictures, gave our animals lots of attention, and even went out to buy our dog a toy she thought he would enjoy. She took care of our dog when he got himself into trouble and cleaned him up thoughtfully. Stephanie was attentive and we would re-book with her again!

Isabelle was wonderful with Maverick while staying at my home for nearly two weeks! She gave him lots of love and attention, took him on regular walks, played with him often, and helped him socialize with other dogs. It was great knowing Maverick was happy, getting plenty of attention, and in such good hands while I was away. I really appreciate the care she gave him and the effort she made to keep him active and entertained. I would absolutely hire Isabelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

Conrad went above and beyond with taking care of our two dogs! Super responsive, friendly, careful with their needs (1 is a reactive dog, other has anxiety and is accident prone). When my dog started limping mid-stay, Conrad made sure to notify me and follow instructions perfectly and administer medication. I felt very comfortable knowing that Conrad was taking care of them diligently, ensuring they had the love, company, and support they needed when we were away for 3 days.
