“We had a great experience leaving our dog Otto to spend a day with Amina. She communicated very well and gave Otto the attention he needed. Otto also had the opportunity to enjoy the time with Snowy (Amina’s lovely dog). Thank you very much for the great care. Looking forward to have Otto spending more time with you soon.”

About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.

“Fernie had a great first day care experience with Jodee and AJ! We did a meet and greet the day before with Maverik and their other regular day care pup, Winnie, to make sure everyone was compatible. Fernie had a blast sniffing and running all around the yard and Jodee sent me picture and status updates throughout the day.”

About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs all of my life. I work from home with a nice fenced backyard and I live across the street from Bluemont park with lots of fields and trails for exploring. I have a 9 year old golden Cavalier (Clover) and we go on long walks in the park and around the neighborhood. Your dog will be allowed on the furniture and the bed if you like or in their crate when needed if that is your preference. I’m home all day and give lots of attention to the dogs I care for. I will only care for one dog at a time along with my dog. I am self employed and work from home so your dog will get lots of attention. Your dog will rarely be left alone and if so not for a long time. I take daily walks (2 times a day) so that is already part of my routine. I have a fenced yard and a doggie door if your dog likes to use that. I also have a 9 year old golden Cavalier to keep your dog company.

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

“We had a last-minute booking with Nati and it worked out perfectly. She was communicative, attentive and reliable. Would definitely book again!”

“I am so grateful for Karol who took such good care of my 11 month old active dog. She communicated well throughout the day, sent pictures, and was very kind and caring to my dog that is not used to being left with others. I highly recommend Karol and appreciate her help.”

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me over the years to care for their pets, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m very attentive, patient, and love giving updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have an open and flexible schedule and genuinely love spending time with animals! I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, playing, cuddling, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved throughout the day. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly treat them like family members and best friends. Whether your pup loves playtime, relaxing, snuggles, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are very important to me. I have a spacious apartment with a cozy doggy den area where dogs can lounge, relax, play, and feel comfortable. I also have a dog park right downstairs, which is perfect for walks, exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love animals, snuggles, and puppy kisses! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always make sure they receive lots of love, attention, care, and supervision while staying with me.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats and would prefer to only board other female cats to ensure harmony in the home. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.

“Leila was absolutely lovely! She took so many pictures and videos of my little Hadley and gave him lots of love, attention and walks. I would book her again.”

“Keith and Jessica were very responsive and so sweet! We had a meet and greet before I dropped Charlie off to stay with them for a day and I could tell they just love having dogs around. I’m so glad I could take him to such a kind and caring home!”

“Iuliia sent pictures and was very communicative throughout our dogs stay! It was a great experience having Pepper stay with her and we will definitely be back.”

About: I am 30 years old and am currently on Paid Leave/Not Working full time, so I’m back on Rover for the time being! I was born and raised around pets of all kinds in my household. From Great Danes to German shepherds to miniature poodles, I’ve cared for many furry friends (even birds, snakes, and goats!). Growing up, I always had three dogs at once as well as cats. I learned to handle and care for them at a young age and enjoy continuing this experience today. I have been professionally pet sitting for 3 years now. I have a lot of energy, so I am able to go on long walks or runs for any dog to get the daily exercise they need! Cats can be a little more independent, but it’s still important to establish a friendly presence around them so they don’t feel alone. I look forward to meeting and caring for any pet in need! A few times a week, I provide walks and meals for dogs of my friends’ who are required to work in an office and cannot make time to tend to these daily needs. I have a flexible schedule and work remotely, so I have ample time to look after animals. When pet sitting, I make sure to give attention to pets essentially at all times. I have experience staying on a schedule and feeding animals at appropriate times. I also enjoy making runs to pet stores to get treats and toys to surprise the dogs. Depending on the age and size, I walk the dog 2-5 times per day and have some play time as well.

“They are so nice!”
