“Christina is great with my two boys! They each have their own speeds, one almost 12 and the other 6 years old. They also have their individual quirks, and Christiana is very patient with them.”


“Stefanie is my go-to cat sitter! She is so sweet with my fur baby, and she pays attention to the details and follows instructions to the T, which gives me great peace of mind, given that I have to leave detailed instructions re: food and meds for my cat's medical condition.”

“I’m so glad I met with Tony, she seems very nice and knowledgeable. Chip immediately warmed up to her and they became good friends. I hope she will be able to take care of my boy very soon. I will not leave him with just anyone, so this experience was very nice. So glad someone told me about Rover!”

“Christopher helped me with a last-minute situation and followed all instructions. He even cleaned up a mess my dog made without being asked, truly going out of his way. Thank you so much!”

About: I worked at 2 dog daycares & also have been helping my dog training friend with his small business in total i have 15 years experience as when i was small i would take my neighbors dogs for walks & had my own dogs to care for i only care for 3/4 dogs at a time to insure your dog has the best experience Dog boarding : We have a high fenced yard & a free ranged home which means they can be in the house & roam around & the back door will be wide open if they decide to go outside we keep water inside & outside for these HOT summer days Besides taking care of dogs i do have another business at home but it doesnt prevent me from watching your dog/s & giving them attention In the summer we play outside & i have a baby swimming pool that i use i also use cooling pads to keep the dogs comfortable & they have fresh water available at all times. to sleep : they sleep with me in the garage so i can keep a close eye out on all of them (my room) I have Dog beds but also Dog crates if they prefer it In the winter: we keep your dogs mostly inside when its waaay to cold , UNLESS they like the cold (some dogs do) we open the door every 2 hours for potty breaks & take for walks we only have water outside in the morning/day time at night we have water inside so their always hydrated we have cameras that show us where every dog is & have special locks in every door outside & inside I DO dog walks so your dog has to be okay to be left alone without having anxiety and destroying anything for atleast 2/3 hours while I do walks & dinner time Before we can book I will ask you a few questions to make sure we are a good fit I spend most of the time at home so I have plenty of time to give your pup all the love and attention it needs We have a 6ft tall fence, we do own crates , I do feedings in separate rooms or crates if your dog is crate trained
“This is our first time having a dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dogs! Penjulee is super communicative and attentive during our booking and we have always had a peace of mind while away. She went above and beyond for our dogs and our dogs love her already. Will definitely book her in the future and we highly recommend her service!”

“Loved having Luz taking care of my kitties! They felt comfortable enough to come out a lot more quickly than with other sitters. She's reliable and follows instructions for the kitties. Would definitely recommend😊”

About: I grew up being the neighborhood go-to for pet sitting. I've even done long term stays with pets while their owners are gone. I love every animal like they are my own and am great with both cats and dogs. I am currently a full time student at George Mason University. Summer break is around the corner and my schedule will better allow for me to care for your pets! In the meantime time, my availability is as shown on my profile! While I do not have the capacity to bring other animals into my home, any pet trusted in my care will be treated with love and respect in the comfort of their own space.

“Grace was excellent with our two cats. One of them is very shy but she went out of our way to make sure she saw him and ensure all was well. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Emily and Ben are FANTASTIC! They took such amazing care of my girls! Even my skittish girl who we’ve only been able to have a couple of close friends watch without issue is absolutely in love with Emily. They went above and beyond to give both girls love and affection, not just a quick drop in to make sure they were fed. It really put my husband and I at ease knowing our girls were in such great care...and all the pics and videos were an added bonus. I would recommend them hands down!”
“Samira took amazing care of my cat Reese and went above and beyond—even when the app had issues. They found other ways to keep me updated and made sure Reese was happy and comfortable. I came home to a relaxed cat and a clean space. Highly recommend if you want someone who truly cares!”

About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
About: I have been a foster parent for many dogs from animal shelters for about 4 years. Until I foster failed and kept my furry friend Hannah. I have done Rover for years and have the time to play and attend to your fur babies! I have more then plenty of time to play with and be with your pup! I can ensure lots of walks will occur during their stay. I have a fenced small yard. Dogs are able to go use the bathroom outside and play or can play indoors. Hannah loves other dogs.
“Paige took such an excellent care of our cat. She is responsive, kind, considerate and very caring. She visited him once a day for 6 days while we were away and always updated us about anything that was going on. I highly highly recommend her. Thank you Paige!!”

“Jasmine was outstanding! She took care of our elderly cats over Christmas and we are so grateful we found her. Having Jasmine care for our cats soothed this anxious cat mom’s fears, and she got our elderly kitty’s supplements mixed in his food just right so he ate everything! Very communicative and we were comfortable having her in our home.”
“Andrew is an absolute dream dog walker! He’s communicative, takes fantastic pics of our pups, and executed lots of complex instructions on short notice. He came to meet our pups before a week away and they love him. We are definitely going to request him again for future needs!”

“Kaley was super accommodating and took great care of our cat Billy on short notice. He took to her right away, and she sent lots of great photos/videos as well which we loved seeing!”

Dale City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amazing pet care! It was our first time leaving my older shiba behind and they took such good care of him. He was very wary at first but by the end was cuddling up to them and giving kisses! Very good at communication and very good response time. Absolutely will be rebooking them in the future

This was my first time using Rover, I also needed a dog sitter really last minute so I was pretty nervous but Brenda put me at absolute ease with clear communication from the start. My dog is kind of a handful because she’s only 9 months old & this was the first time she had been taken care of by a stranger but I don’t think there could have been someone better than Brenda. She understood all the details, asked the right questions during our virtual meet & greet, & provided me with all the useful information I needed to have as a first time user. She took such good care of my pup, we will definitely book her again. Thank you so much Brenda for being so accommodating & kind, we had a wonderful experience.

Christina is great. I had a last minute obligation after work and she came to my rescue by meeting my fur baby and myself the day before for a meet and greet. She took a lot of pictures and my fur baby looked happy. She came by and walked my fur baby for two days. She lost my fob and immediately sent me the money to cover the cost of a replacement fob. She felt really bad about it. Sometimes things happen in your life that are unexpected and you move on. I was not upset because she rectified it immediately. I will be asking Christina in the future for walks and stay overs. I am happy with her services. 😃
