“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”


“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”



“Eddie was very happy with his visit to Heather, she kept him busy (which he loves) and showed him all the attention he craves as well. Highly recommend Heather for everyone's fur babies.”


“This is our second time booking with Saroj, and I think everything went great. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating, sending us pictures and videos of Chewie throughout the day. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Pet Sitter – Highly Recommend! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Penjulee on Rover! From the start, she was professional and communicative. She took the time to understand my fur baby’s routine, needs, and personality, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Penjulee provided regular updates, including photos and messages, so I always knew how my fur baby was doing. I knew she was cared for, happy, and comfortable. I highly recommend Penjulee to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


About: I’ve cared for many dogs throughout my life, but my current golden retriever has taught me the true meaning of patience, loyalty, and the deep bond that forms between a pet and their owner. We went through training lessons together, which gave me great tools for understanding dog behavior, building trust, and handling different situations calmly and confidently. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to take care of furry friends and have fun with them! I’m also available for boarding even on holidays weekends! I have a a safely fence yard that fits perfectly for friends who are looking to have fun freely, also friends who are interested in having a great time playing with others furry friends!

“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”



“Stephen is extremely responsive and so accommodating for a new young pup and first time dog owner. He has a wealth of knowledge and provides helpful tips and updates. Lenny LOVES playing with Lucky- so thankful to have this duo!”


“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”


About: Hello, my name is Jackie, I am 39 years old, I recently moved to the Woodbridge area and I am currently studying pre-med at Nvcc. I am quite passionate about animal rights and animal welfare! I have spent time in the past volunteering at the Alexandria Animal Welfare League, and I have loved being around animals all my life. I have also worked as a long term foster for TRU Rescue in Maryland. My very first job was starting a dog walking business at just 9 years old. Since then I have owned quite a few of my own pets including many dogs. I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs. I love spending time going on walks outside every day as a part of my meditation practice, and I’d love to include some more fuzzy friends along with me while I walk. I also really enjoy having the dogs with me inside for cool down/chill sessions afterward while I study and listen to healing tones as I work! I have 2 very small chihuahua dogs living with me at the moment, one is 6lbs and one is 7lbs. I am currently taking off work to focus on my studies. I have flexibility to make time for walks and playtime for any animals in my care. I am available for dog walking within the Woodbridge area. Please message me to work out details on possible distance I will travel. Dog boarding is possible after a meet and greet establishes that your dog gets along ok with my two little ones. They do well with dogs that are not too hyper or are not too young. Male dogs must be fixed.

“Mila was outstanding! My dog was recently brought home from a shelter and Mila was not only kind and understanding but my dog didn't even want to leave her when it was time to come home. She took plenty of pics so I knew the dog was okay and her timeliness is out of this world!!! She did pickups and drop offs on time and had great communication the whole time. We will definitely book her again!”


“Maria is awesome! This was my second time leaving my pup with her. I texted her with an emergency at night requesting day care for the very next day with a 7am drop off. She answered very quickly and was super accommodating.”


About: I've been pet sitting and caring for animals of all types - dogs, cats, and horses - since I was 15 years old. I have had Louie, my German Shepherd, since he was a puppy and trained him myself to be a (mostly) obedient, friendly giant. I adopted my senior German Shepherd, Wolf, when he was 8 years old and have endless patience for pups that tend to have a mind of their own! Happy to work with pups and cats of any size! My schedule is currently very flexible. Chances are, if I'm not available, I can adjust my schedule to ensure your fur family is well taken care of. I have a fenced-in yard and two pups that would be the perfect playmates for your medium (35+ lb) and large pups. They have plenty of space to run around and are always happy to have new friends to play with!

About: My fiancé and I have been taking care of our family pets and pet-sitting for neighbors since we were kids! I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rodents to cats to corgis to german shepherds and more! Currently, we are in the process of training a service dog and raising our cat mandy. When I was in high school, I also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and learned a lot about pet care there. We are excited to meet and take care of your fur babies! I currently work part time so we are able to take care of your pets whenever they need throughout the day! We have a dog of our own, so they can have a playmate and we have a big yard for them to run around in. At our home, we have a large fenced in yard for pups to play, as well as lots of toys and treats. At your home, we will be sure to follow any and all instructions you provide for taking care of your pet as well as your home!

Dale City dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again

This was our first time using Anna, and she took great care of my Chloe! Chloe was right at home with Anna and her family, which enabled me to relax and have a nice trip to the Lake. She communicated promptly and sent me pics throughout Chloe’s stay. I will definitely use Anna again!

Dana was amazing with my 1-year-old Doberman, who struggles with separation anxiety. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I came to pick him up, he was completely relaxed and clearly happy in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Cheri was the perfect caregiver. My miniature schnauzer, Maci was recently diagnosed with diabetes and we needed a sitter last minute to attend a wedding. Cheri gave her dinner followed by her insulin shot and took great care of her. Plus she sent me photos throughout the evening of their time together. Super grateful - highly recommend !!

Kelly was kind, considerate, and attentive to everything Alfie needed. She will be a regular for us. We would definitely recommend her. She took the time to get to know our dog and his needs and met them. She is perfect with Alfie and we are so happy we found her!

Joel.B did well. My pets were returned in the same condition I left them. If your a pet parent with seperation anxiety and need repetitive updates then Joel isnt for you. If you need an affordable convient pet sitter then he is your guy. My only knock is he wasnt up yet when I arrived, but what young man is at that time. Would definitely use his service again in the future.
