“Elise is wonderful with both my cats. She ensures their litterbox is fresh, the food bowls are clean and they get lots of love and pets. I appreciate her care so much.”

“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”
“hillary did a great job with my three kitties! :) she also went above and beyond and helped me out with my litter robot that was having problems. would definitely trust her and book her in the future!”
“Charlie again dropped in on my cat at the same time as boarding my dog and was a lifesaver! I have a very difficult cat and he always approaches the situation with compassion, humor, and even some creative thinking 😁 it’s really hard to find a sitter like this for Scotty and we’re lucky to have him.”


“As always, Heather was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat Mr. Pickles. She checked him daily to make sure stitches from a recent procedure were looking good and totally reassured me all was well with him. Thanks to Heather for dependable service and taking care of Mr. P.”

“My dogs took to Laura immediately as if they’d know her for years! She is extremely prompt and very attentive to the fur babies! So happy to find someone that works into our family so perfectly! It takes so much stress and worry off my plate knowing she is there for my dogs!”

“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”


About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve been dog sitting since 2021, and I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and breeds, including puppies and senior dogs. I have experience helping multiple families with their pets and understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love being around dogs and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also work from home which gives me the flexibility to take dogs out during the day, stay on top of feeding schedules, and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. In addition to dog sitting, I’ve been around dogs for many years through my own family and previously lived with dogs as well, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I work from home every day so I will have time to take care of your dogs all throughout day. I’m available to walk, feed, and watch your dogs every weekday. I would let pets roam or lay around my apartment and play with them when I have the time. If needed, I can put them in a crate, but I do enjoy their company.
About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and then a zoologist. Neither career panned out, but my love for animals remained. Now I get my fill of furry friends by providing excellent, worry-free care for your pets! As a proud mom of three urban hens, I know how nerve-wracking it is to be away from a beloved pet. That’s why I provide frequent updates and pictures to my clients so that they can go about their workdays or trips without anxiety. I specialize in cats, dogs and birds. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently freelancing part-time, which provides me with an extremely flexible schedule to care for your pets! From walks to drop-ins to overnight stays, I can provide a variety of services to DMV pet owners When in your home whether for a drop-by or overnight stay, I am committed to making your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible in the absence of their person/people. I follow my clients’ instructions and specifics of their pets’ routines, and follow them closely. I also provide lots of love and cuddles (or love from afar for pets that don’t like to be touched!)
“Catherine did a wonderful job with my cat Ripples. She was very responsive and diligent, pleasant to deal with, and got my very shy cat to open up as the days went by. Would use her again, and definitely recommend her.”

“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”


“Megan took great care of my senior cat, Betty White! My request was super last minute and Megan was a lifesaver. She was super communicative and was able to do my cats medication as well. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a full-time remote Digital Marketing Specialist with an active lifestyle and a passion for pets. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for pets since 2021, with experience handling dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with a family dog (black lab) and am now a proud pet aunt to a corgi named Betty, a golden doodle named Archie, and a black cat named Vivi. While I don’t have pets of my own, I love every opportunity to care for yours through Rover. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I create an stress-free, fun environment where they feel comfortable and loved. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m a quick responder and can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Since I’m fully remote, my schedule is pretty flexible depending on my meetings. I’ll make sure to keep my calendar updated so you can easily book the times that work for you and your pet. I am not allowed pets in my apartment but can go to the fur baby’s home to watch and care for them! I am located in Courthouse.
“Spencer and Julia were fantastic! They were super flexible for a meet and greet before completing a drop in visit for me. During the visit, they messaged me when they arrived, made sure to leave a note about how my dog did, and reassured me that they had locked the doors back when they left — all without me asking first. They sent multiple pictures and went above and beyond what I had asked them to do to care for my pup! Can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Julia is the best dog sitter we've ever had. She is very patient with our dog and observant of her habits and tricks. She really understand a dog's behavior and personality. Her professionalism and patience overcame our dog's initial wariness and won and quickly won her trust. She was great with communication, always sending detailed reports with highlights and photos. We would definitely book again for future needs.”

“Tiffanie was wonderful! She provided detailed notes and lots of pics. My cats tend to be a bit shy/anxious when I’m gone but they seemed to warm up to her quickly :) def will rebook with her in the future.”

Colonial Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
Gracie did a great job watching my two cats. She was accommodating and flexible with the drop-in visit times, which made the entire experience stress-free. Communication was great throughout her visits, which I feel is one of those important parts of pet sitting. I would definitely recommend Gracie to anyone looking for a reliable and adaptable pet sitter
Erin always does a great job! Every time I come back from a trip, my cat looks happy, healthy, and well cared for. My cat is very shy and skittish, but I think she’s come to understand the she's in good hands while in Erin’s care. I’ve met some great sitters on Rover, but Erin has been the absolute BEST!

Maia was absolutely fantastic! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of adorable photos and lengthy notes with updates on my cats. I have two little anxious babies and she was so good about making sure they took their meds and I could see from the photos how relaxed they were around her. When I came home they weren’t even mad at me for being gone! Would 10/10 recommend!

Sarah took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town! He’s normally very shy, so when he immediately went up and nuzzled her, I knew it was a good sign :) Sarah took FANTASTIC pictures, gave us thorough updates on how he was doing, and left our apartment perfect and clean.

I’ve been so fortunate to find William to help me with my other sitter while I’m away in Alaska on a traveling nursing contract. He has been incredibly detailed, dependable, trustworthy, and loving with my fur Baby. He takes the most amazing photos! Just incredible- I’m saving every single one of them, they’re just absolutely precious!! To be able to trust somebody in your home while you’re away for months at a time is just priceless, but most importantly, while away with a furry family member - has just brought me such immense peace and comfort. My little girl Violet absolutely loves William and took to him immediately! He’s been so patient and helpful as well, especially when there was a mistake on my end with medication dosing. He makes excellent suggestions about her care (he’s so observant) and is a superb communicator as well; so eloquent in his notes to me about his time with my girl! I look forward to them daily! :) Thank you so much William -God bless you for all your help, I’m so grateful that I found you! - Dani and Violet 💜🦄😻
