“Douglas was great with our dog Tigressa! He kept us updated with photos and was super easy to communicate with. We felt totally comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We had an amazing experience with Melissa! She stayed in our home for a week with our two dogs, one of whom has severe anxiety. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, gave him the space he needed, carefully read his body language, and earned his trust. She was reliable with his daily medications and patient in helping him feel comfortable. Our home was left spotless and respected, and it was clear she treated both our dogs and our space with great care. She even surprised us with a kind and thoughtful gesture at the end of the stay, which meant so much to our family. We are so grateful to have found her and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional sitter!”
“Zamiya was absolutely outstanding, very communicative and took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely book with her again!!! I never had to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me updated with pics and videos which I loved because I didn't have to reach out to see how he was doing. I already knew!!”
“Brittney watched our dog for 5 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We received photos and videos with little updates every day. It’s hard to trust someone staying in your house or taking care of your “baby” but Brittney made us feel at ease and we could fully enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog is in great hands.Additionally, she left the house super clean! Would highly recommend Brittney!”

“Andrea was extremely friendly and accommodating as a first time Rover user, and she took great care of my 3 cats. She was awesome with communication throughout the time she was house sitting, and sent me pictures/updates regularly. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch the boys again soon!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”

About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.
About: I have taken care of many different dogs in my neighborhood for over 5 years. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs, as well as multiple dogs at a time. I also live with several pets at home, including a dog and two guinea pigs. I am currently in college and taking classes in the mornings Monday through Thursday. I am free to take care of pets in the afternoons or any time on the weekends I make sure that dogs in my care are given at least two walks a day, as well as exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I also adapt my care to each dog's needs and owner requests.
“Vanessa was so communicative while we were away for a week and we were so happy to know our dogs were getting such great care! Vanessa also helped out by collecting our mail and watering plants. Thank you, Vanessa!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Brandi. She’s definitely spoiled, and her irregular eating habits are just part of her missing us—it’s nothing to do with you. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of Brandi. It truly means a lot to me!”
“BOOK!! Best person I've ever booked with! So thankful for her quality of work, attention to detail, and consistency. She's everything you're looking for and more!!”
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Ana! I’m an energetic dog parent to a young German Shepherd, so I know exactly what it’s like to handle high energy pups, snuggle bugs, and everything in between. 🏡 A Comfortable, Dog Friendly Home. Your pup will have everything they need during their stay from extra leashes, bowls, food, and treats to lots of room for play and rest. I always make sure each dog feels right at home. 🏠 House Sitting & Drop Ins. I’ll give your pets the same love and attention I give my own feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship and enjoyment!! 🦮 Dog walks. I bring my own leash and supplies to keep things simple, clean, and stress free!! 🍲 Homemade Meals with Love. I also enjoy preparing fresh, home cooked dog meals made with real ingredients like chicken, turkey, beef, or fish, plus healthy veggies such as carrots, sweet potato, peas, cucumbers, and pumpkin. Let me know if I can share these delicious warm meals with your pup!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day I create a safe, calm, and loving environment by supervising all pets closely, keeping spaces clean and secure, and following each owner’s care instructions to make sure every pet feels comfortable and protected.
“She’s definitely great! Very attentive to my cat. Came twice a day and played with him, feed him and made sure his litter was changed. Will be reaching out to her again in the future.”
Dale City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Clara was absolutely amazing with our dog, Leo, while we were away for over a week. She took such great care of him, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Clara was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Leo was so comfortable with her, and we could tell he was well cared for when we got back. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Douglas did a great job caring for our pet! His communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’d absolutely book with Douglas again!
We will always have Xiomara watch our dog and cat as long as she’s available, she is incredible. She sends constant updates, pictures, videos, and my dog LOVES her. So does our cat. She is such a wonderful person and she leaves our place sparkling clean. Having peace of mind about our precious animals makes traveling a thousand times more enjoyable. Thank you so much Xiomara ❤️
Angelica was phenomenal. She was amazing with my fur babies. They gave her a run for her money the first few days but eased her up once they got comfortable. She kind, caring, communication is a 10 and kept my house CLEAN. I was very impressed with her service. Angie is my NEW go to for when I have to go out of town. Thanks again Angie.
I was really pleased with Ty and Charlie. Their setup worked extremely well for our very Velcro-needy guy. I was initially a little hesitant about having two people watching him, simply because we’d never had a couple before, but if you’re on the fence like I was, don’t pass them up — it worked perfectly for us. They arrived on time for both the meet-and-greet and the sitting job, and they checked in to confirm the times I had listed before coming and when they were scheduled to leave. Our guy is very routine-oriented, and they followed my detailed instructions (yes, I’m that parent!) to a tee — including giving his meds on time, which was huge for us since some past sitters have struggled with that. I truly couldn’t have asked for better sitters; they’re probably my favorite so far. I’ll absolutely continue to use them and am already working to see if they’re available to sit for us again. I would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!
We are so thankful for Carleigh! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about his comfort and routine. Our dog was anxious about us leaving at first, but Carleigh was incredibly patient and kind with him while he adjusted. She sent regular updates and photos which gave us peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Carleigh to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.
Kelly watched our older dog and cat while we were gone for a week. We came home to two happy and healthy fur balls! As always, Kelly was super communicative the entire time and sent a ton of adorable pictures of them. They love her! Highly recommend booking with her, she leaves you with some happy fur babies! The house was exactly as we left it, she is also extremely respectful of your home and property. She is our go to Rover!
Caitlin did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Holly! From the start, communication was great, and we felt completely at ease leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
Our family is so thankful for Noe and the way he cared for Max and Holly while we were away. From the very start, he was warm, professional, and dependable, which gave us complete peace of mind. Noe made sure both dogs felt comfortable and loved, and he handled their different needs with so much patience and attention. Max requires a little extra care, and Noe took the time to make sure his routine was followed, while also giving Holly plenty of playtime and affection. We received regular updates and could see how happy and relaxed they both were in his care. It meant the world to our family knowing that Max and Holly were safe and cared for like they were his own. We would absolutely recommend Noe to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Jackson was amazing with our pups over the weekend! 🐶 From the start, he was responsive, professional, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs looked relaxed and well cared for when we got back, and it was clear they enjoyed their time with him. We’ll definitely book Jackson again—highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
