About: Experienced dog sitter who raised and trained five puppies, provides senior and special-needs care including insulin administration, with therapy dog training and genuine love for dogs. I’m home throughout the day and evening, allowing me to provide consistent care, scheduled feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Dogs are let outside in my fenced backyard every 1–2 hours. Pets in my care have a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment with a designated indoor dog area, toys, dog beds, and crates if needed. My fenced backyard has extra-tall fencing for dogs who are jumpers, allowing safe outdoor play and frequent potty breaks.
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Michael and his girlfriend were absolute lifesavers this weekend! They took such incredible care of my dog, Mr. Bear, and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. From thoughtful updates to plenty of outdoor time, they treated him like family — which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Bear can be a little picky (and has some specific dietary needs), but they followed every instruction with care and patience. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved — which says everything. You can truly tell these two are dog people through and through. I would 1000% book with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their pup. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of my big guy! 🐾💙”
“Loki, my one year old beagle, had a fabulous time at Saroj’s home. She sent pics and videos daily and let me know how Loki was doing. She opened her beautiful home to him and treated him like one of the family. I will definitely request her services again and I highly recommend her. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Rover and finding Vronnie...and, I'm so glad we did! My daughter and her dog felt right at home during our meet and greet. Her home and conversation was so warm that she felt like family. During her stay, Vronnie sent us pictures and a little write-up everyday, which my daughter loved. Her puppy looked like she was enjoying herself and the many walks that Vronnie took her on to get exercise. I'm glad we found Vronnie and have made her our permanent dogsitter.”
“Erin was especially delightful and attentive to our pup. I knew we made the right choice from the moment my wife and I were greeted. Erin and her husband politely introduced themselves and then gave us a brief tour of her home, reassuring us that the environment was safe and pet friendly. Our dog is especially shy, but took to Erin almost instantly. During the days spent away, Erin took the initiative to send us plenty of photos and briefly updated us on how our dog was acclimating to her home. This was especially appreciated because our dog is high energy, sensitive, and on medication. When we went to pick up our pup, he was both excited to see us and exhausted from the time spent bonding with Erin’s family and her dogs. Erin, thank you for opening your home up to Beau. You are very trustworthy, and accountable and it really shows in the way you cared for our pup.”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“This was Simba’s very first boarding experience, and it couldn’t have gone any better. He seemed so happy and comfortable during his stay, and it was clear he was really enjoying himself. The updates and photos were reassuring, and I could tell he was well-cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful for such a positive first experience. Simba will definitely be back!”
“Jessie was absolutely amazing. She communicated with us throughout our trip and asked us questions if there were any uncertainties about their care. They had a nice sized backyard they could run around and I appreciated that she replicated the sort of accommodations they were used to in our home. When I went to pick up our dogs, she provided me with thorough updates and I could tell our doggies were pleased with her care. I would definitely book Jessie again!”
“Carlos provides customized and compassionate care! We left our older Beagle for 2 weeks with Carlos and he sent daily updates and photos. He modified her diet when her stomach wasn’t well and made sure she took all of her medications. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Maggie was in such great hands. If you are looking for attentive dog sitting, excellent communication and responsiveness, and peace of mind, then you should book Carlos!”
“Very responsive ! I can tell he has good experience with dogs. Always kept me updated and sent me pics. I was comfortable at my trip knowing Leo is being taken care of well. I definitely recommend and will for sure book with Gustavo again!”
“Garrett, Ana and their family were so wonderful. They were very communicative and took care of our golden, Pretzel so well. Pretzel had the best time with their family! My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving pretzel with them. We will definitely book with them again!!”
“My dog had a great stay with Jessica! She closely follows care instructions and spends time catering to the dog's needs. She also sent pics and updates throughout the stay which is much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again!”
“Marina took great care of my dog Solomon. She updated me with lots of pics of him while I was away. My mind was at ease knowing my senior fur baby was well taken care of. I would definitely use use her again!”

I do work part-time and would love to spend my free time taking care of your babies whether that’s walking them, playing with them or simply giving them attention.

“This was a short boarding experience of only 2 nights but everything went well. Our dog came back happy and healthy and we were happy with the updates and pictures. It felt nice to leave him with a friendly happy family.”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. From fostering dogs in California to rescuing countless stray cats and dogs over the years, caring for animals is more than a job it's my passion. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it's what I genuinely enjoy doing. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have the time to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's a quick walk or an overnight stay, I'm committed to making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm stopping in for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Available for overnights, daytime visits, and even bath time. I currently work full time but I am available in the evenings to love on your furry family member. I love taking dogs for walks or playing fetch. I have a crate to keep your pup comfortable in my home, plus a dog, cat, and two affectionate teenagers.

I don't know where to begin. I guess it all started even before the boarding - excellent communication, asked relevant questions, and just demonstrated overall enthusiasm and care for the boarding. During the stay, she provided pictures and updates, and again, just excelled in communication which made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was also very flexible with me with the pickup which I valued. 10/10, don't hesitate to book with her!
Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.
Great communication, very responsive and detailed with all concerns as a first-time client. My crazy little Boston terrier opened up to her day 1 as if he had always known her :-) Would absolutely book with again, thank you for providing Ozzie a true home away from home!
We had a great experience with Michael and Alaina and would absolutely book with them again! They have a beautiful, spacious home with a large fenced yard that gave our dogs plenty of room to run around and play. One of the highlights was that our dogs became great friends with their dog, Deji. They had so much fun playing together, and it was clear from the updates that everyone was getting along wonderfully. We also really appreciated the daily photos and videos they sent. Seeing our dogs happy, relaxed, and having a great time gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring to know they were safe, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Bryant and the family were outstanding. They took such great care of my fur baby Chance. They gave constant updates and videos of their interactions and having fun with the doggie! They were by far my he best caregivers we have ever had using Rover. I definitely recommend them and hopefully they will be available for the next time. Thanks again for taking such good care of Chance!!!
We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️
What a relief that I found Nancy! I knew from the moment we met that she genuinely loves and cares about dogs!! She took great care of our little guy, sent multiple pictures daily during his stay, and made everything so easy. We found a winner and will absolutely seek her out again!
Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.
Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!

There are 6,802 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dale City. About 90% of Dale City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
