Brooke just completed in-house sitting for our mixed pittie girl, Zoey. Zoey LOVES her! Brooke kept us apprised with updates and pictures and it is clear that Zoey has bonded with Brooke. Brooke is loving, calm, diligent, and proactive in communications. We lucked out finding her and I give her the highest rating possible!

Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3

This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.

About: I have been a dog and cat sitting going on 5 years now. With 5 consistent families I catsit and dogsit for I make it my mission to make the babies and their parents feel safe, comfortable, and confident having me care for their loved one and in their home. I have my own kitty at home and have history with caring for both cats and dogs. I provide services walking and pet sitting. I am currently self employed so my days are very flexible. When I am working it is either at my store from 8-3 or at home. When pet sitting I adjust my schedule to your pet’s eating and bathroom schedule to assure that when they are with me that they are top priority. When I am pet sitting in a client’s home, I want their fur baby to feel familiar, comfortable, and safe in their own home. I always like to know their favorite hiding spots, favorite toys, and personality characteristics to assure I can make them feel safe and sound while their owner is away. Once my stay is over I always assure to leave everything better than I found it - taking out the trash, washing dishes, washing towels, sweeping, etc. to assure the owner comes home to a clean and tidy space so they can focus on relaxing with their pet when they come home :)!

About: Hi! My name is Carleigh and I recently graduated college with my bachelor’s degree in Education. While I have a strong love for working with children, I also have a huge heart for furry friends! I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including walking, sitting, and daily visits. I also have experience sitting cats for friends, families, and rover as well. I previously had a chocolate lab–pitbull mix who was my best friend, and I currently have two energetic and loving cockapoos. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Please know I am here to help, and I look forwarding to chatting and meeting with your furry friend! Currently I am in the interview process as I enter my first year of teaching, I also work at daycare part-time some days. I am using Rover during my free time and to especially make use of my open schedule. Right now I mostly have weekends available and fully open, weekdays I can do late afternoons and evenings this is flexible though! Pets would be treated as if they were my own. I will follow the same routines needed for that pup in any type of environment.

Thank goodness I found Kally. We recently moved to Loudoun County and I was in search of a great overnight sitter for my elderly pug. Not only does Kally have a special fondness for pugs, since she had two of her own, but she is an experienced and professional dog sitter. She is organized, detail oriented, and thorough and clearly strives to be the best in the business. I chose her based on outstanding Rover reviews, but now I know why. She took care of EVERYTHING. She immediately formed a bond with my little pug, who clearly has some special needs as she is aging, and reassured me that she had experience with any potential issues. I received daily pictures and videos, and little messages that everything was going great. That made my vacation so much more relaxing, as I was initially worried about leaving her with just anyone. She was so happy in Kally’s care. Upon return, our house was immaculate. She went above and beyond. She is top-notch and I get why she is so sought after as a care giver. I am really fortunate to have found Kally, and I feel so comfortable now with such a professional and loving caregiver.

Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.

Jennifer did so great with my pups. This was my first time using the overnight part of this service, so I was a little nervous at first but she did a great job providing notes of everything we had gone over and was also very flexible with the timing of the stay. She cared for both my senior dog and puppy at the same time and did a great job with them. Would recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pups.

About: I grew up on ranches and surrounded by animals, starting my own dog walking business when I was 8 and started training dogs every summer from 12-18. Now I’m an EMT but still have a passion for animals and want to work with them on my days off. I work nights on the back end of the week Thursday-Saturday. I am willing to work with your needs for a schedule since my job is at night and most pet care is during the day I’m very flexible, so just reach out and we can make it work! I have a fully fenced in backyard and a 4 year old pug at my home. I am happy to travel to your home for check ins or full on boarding, it will depend on your needs and pets. I run daily with trails nearby because I believe exercise is necessary for well behaved pets :) If your pet has any special needs or medications it’s something I’m very comfortable with as an EMT and you can trust me to handle anything with care.

I'm a dedicated 24-year-old with a passion for pups, working from home and ready to give your dog the time of their life. My mini Labradoodle, trained as my emotional support dog, is the epitome of sweetness and charm. Together, we offer tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Plus, with the convenience of living right across the street from Shirlington Dog Park, your pup will have endless opportunities for fun and socialization. With flexible scheduling and personalized attention, your pup will feel right at home. Pet care is a cornerstone of my daily routine, woven seamlessly into each day. Mornings kick off with a refreshing walk or play session, setting the tone for a day filled with fun and activity. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on my furry friend, offering companionship and care as needed. Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment. In my home, I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, creating a safe space for pets to roam and play.

We can't say enough great things about Rasha. She keeps us up to date, and sends lots of pictures. The way she talks about our dog shows us that she is not only taking care of her, but that she generally cares about her. That is such a comfort. She takes great care of the house too. We come home to a tidy house and a happy dog. She even thoughtfully offered to water the outdoor planters.
