“Julian was great! I wanted to visit family last minute this Christmas, leaving behind 3 pets for a few days, my dog and cat, and my girlfriend’s cat. He was very playful with our pets and very cooperative annd respectful even with our lengthy requests, absolutely thankful and will definitely be contacting again!”

“Natalie was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in on very short notice to care for my dogs and made the entire experience stress-free. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, was incredibly kind and professional, and kept me updated with regular check-ins and lots of photos. Knowing my dogs were so well cared for gave me incredible peace of mind while I was away. She was so great, I've booked Natalie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Daniel has been an awesome drop in sitter. Extremely reliable and a great communicator. I am happy to have his services for the duration of my stay in NOVA!”


“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”

“Victoria was absolutely wonderful. I was so happy with the care she provided and I completely trust her with my dogs. From the very beginning she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with pets. My dogs adore Victoria. They were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept them on their usual routine, and sent regular photo. That gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly loves dogs. I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Victoria!”


About: I own one small dog and have taken care of two - four dogs for more than 10 years total. Happy to help if you have senior pets or a cat that needs some socialization. I was recently laid off so I am available until my clearance gets approved. I am also local to Arlington via walking or car so I’m flexible. Having had bad sitters in the past, I am for safety and transparency. Pictures will also be provided upon request. My number one goal is making sure families are at ease as if the pets were my own.

“Laci was amazing! She took care of our two dogs over the 4th of July weekend on very short notice, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy the entire time. We would absolutely book with Laci again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!”

“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”

About: I have a Chihuahua Yorkie mix and a Schnauzer mix so I am very familiar with high energy dogs and I will give your dog the attention they need! I really enjoy training with dogs and can reinforce or begin any training that you would like me to! I have experience training dog agility, nose work, fun attention games, and many different positive reinforcement techniques for different dogs. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, so I am very familiar with avoiding triggers, counter conditioning, and have taken classes on managing reactivity! Our other dog is a tripod, and became so through multiple surgeries while we had him, so I have experience working with dogs with different mobility needs and during surgery as well. I love to spend my nights and weekends cuddled on the couch with dogs or walking around new places, and I'll happily incorporate your dog into whichever they prefer, or both! I have a flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walking, playing with, or cuddling your dogs just like I would mine! I prefer to take care of your dog in their known environment so that they can stay comfortable. I will do my best to stick as closely to your routines as possible so that they know what to expect. However, we will add some fun, so that they have a great vacation too!
About: I’ve had pets since I was born, including dogs, cats, and rodents, which led me to volenteering at animal shelters! I loved them all and found caring for animals to be one of the most rewarding experiences in life I am currently a student at NOVA taking classes online! This means my schedule is extremely flexible so I’d love to help whenever I can! Your pets health and safety are my top priority! In any environment there can be risks and concerns, I will do everything to make sure your animal is safe, healthy, and happy

About: I have always loved being around dogs and enjoy caring for them. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with their pets, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I will care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention and exercise while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I live in a pet-friendly environment and provide a safe, clean, and loving environment. Your pet will be supervised, treated like family, and crated if needed.

About: I love all animals and have experience dog/cat sitting for the past 8 years. I walked dogs while in college and high school. I’ve taken care of numerous people’s pets while they have been out of town and enjoy doing so! I’ve had a dog all my life she lived to be 18 years old and she was one of my best friends! I hope to help you with your furry friends. I am available to walk and look after dogs on weekends. I work but work from home 3 days a week and can walk around that schedule. I am located right next to a wonderful trail to have the animals walk. I live in a spacious apartment that welcomes animals. I’ll make sure pets have everything they need. I make sure to feed them and let them know I’m there for anything they might need.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life. I grew up with both small and large dogs with all kinds of different needs. Truly, I understand that each pet has its own unique needs which I’m patient and willing to understand. As an adult I’ve owned/lived with 3 small dogs (pug, 2 cavalier King Charles spaniels) and a cat so I’m fully capable of taking care of multiple animals at once. I’ve cared for both my cavaliers from puppy through their seniors years including one being in a wheel chair his last year of life so I have experience with dogs in all years of their life. My cat was adopted as kitten so also familiar with cats during all years of life. Over the years I’ve done pet sitting and walked dogs for friends and neighbors in addition to my own pets. My work schedule is flexible with a blend of in person and remote work so we can discuss a schedule that fits your pets needs. Safety, trust, and respect are extremely important to me. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and maintain a calm, safe environment. I treat every home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I believe clear communication builds trust, so I provide regular updates and photos and am always available if you need to reach me. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet and your home are in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Forest
We had a great meet and greet! Jenna was friendly, responsive, and clearly has a good understanding of cat behavior. She asked all the right questions and was thoughtful about learning Fifi’s routine and needs. I really appreciated her attention to detail and feel confident she will take great care of Fifi!

Stacy was wonderful! She took such great care of Louie while we were away, and it was such a relief knowing he was in kind, capable hands. She was reliable, thoughtful, and attentive to his needs, and I really appreciated the care she put into looking after him. It’s not always easy leaving your pet behind, but Stacy made the whole experience so much easier. Louie was in great hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Vivian. She was extremely dependable, followed Sebastian's routine, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. Sebastian was happy and relaxed when I got home. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust completely. Plus she lives close by!!!—10/10!

Brittany was so wonderful with Daisy. Daisy is very nervous about strangers entering the house, but Brittany was a pro and knew all the tricks to put our pup at ease. She was able to get Daisy to go for a walk with her, and do some backyard play. I can see why Brittany is a star sitter, and look forward to having her hang with Daisy again!

She was SO great!! She took such great care of my cats. She gave them their meds every night right on time. She sent lots of pictures as well! She sent pictures of the litter box, water fountain, and food at every check in as well, which was a great peace of mind. 12/10 recommend!!

Rachel has been wonderful with my tuxedo cat on multiple sittings and has been a life saver on short notice. She followed exact instructions for feeding, play, and litter box clean up. She’s incredibly communicative with detailed notes, quick response times, and photos. She definitely provides a playful and carrying environment for my tuxedo. Her warmth and care of means I can come home to a happy, relaxed, albeit a bit chatty cat.
Carrie is the best. Scout is an outgoing and social kitty who loves nothing better than a great play session and she gets this from Carrie. Carries daily report and "action shots" show paly and pets. When I return Scout is sleek, chatty and happy. Her behavior shows she's had a good time while I'm gone. Thanks, Carrie for your excellent care. You are a star!

Kate is amazing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her kitty care! She not only went above and beyond taking care of my baby, but she was able to take a shy, scared kitty and allow her to come out of her shell. What an amazing person and sitter. Animals know when someone truly cares and Kate does! Thank you Kate for taking care of my sweet girl and putting this nervous mama at ease! You are special beyond words! 💕
