“Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!”

“It was so easy to communicate with Amanda - quick responses to my messages and we are all set for a meet and greet, then she looked after Daisy today. She has a really cute ground level apartment right next to the Ballston Commons, and it has access to a fenced in shared yard for bathroom breaks. Daisy takes a moment to warm up to new people, but she quickly befriended Amanda and it took some effort when I came to pick her up to get Daisy to leave her curled up spot on the couch next to Amanda. ❣️. I'm so happy to have found a good Rover daycare sitter and will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!
“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Diana was great with Pisco! He had such a fun time and she took such good care of him. She’s very responsive, communicative, and makes sure to share fun memories as well. Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”


“Guy was great with my Maltese she really enjoyed spending time with him and his dog Casey and the other dogs there. He has helped her significantly with her anxiety after the loss of her sister”

“Isabella was super friendly and communicative! She was flexible with me as I had a big work day and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my boy with her!”


About: I’m a proud dog dad to Rambo, my Golden Retriever, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. Raising him has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, leash manners, and all the attention and care that comes with being a dog owner. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors, including dogs that can be reactive in certain situations. This has taught me to be patient, pay close attention to body language, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and adapt my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and constant playtime, while others prefer their space and a calmer environment. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the same way I’d want someone to treat Rambo—with patience, attention, care, and plenty of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with Rambo, my Golden Retriever. My days already include walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time dedicated to him, so caring for another pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I always make sure they’re introduced safely and comfortably to Rambo.
“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”


“A+ thank you so much! My dog had a great time and Lee was awesome! She sent me a picture of my girl as well as fed and walked her. She was also super accommodating when my plans got delayed and I had to arrive late. Thanks again!!”

“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”

“Kerstyn was great today with our recently adopted pup Ginger! She made her feel right at home and helped create a fun environment especially with her dog Freya who she played with. I’m sure we will have Ginger go back to visit soon!”

“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”


About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Katerine and Brian did a great job watching Mia, and she enjoyed her time with them. She got to interact with other small dogs they were watching and was spoiled with a lot of snuggle time. Katerine also took some Christmas-card-worthy photos of Mia. Would happily leave Mia with Katerine and Brian again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and volunteered at a local animal shelter during high school and college. I was responsible for training my family’s dogs (lab mix and goldendoodle) basic commands as well as potty training and crate training. I also have prior experience dog sitting for neighbors and friends. I recently moved away from my family and am definitely missing doggy love! I’m currently between jobs and am doing an online, self-paced class in the mean time, which means I have all day to take care of pups! I would love nothing more than to spend my free time hanging out with your dog. I live right next to a big dog park and several great walking paths. There are always friendly dogs out and about near me. As a former student-athlete, I am responsible, disciplined, manage my time well, and will make sure your pup is well taken care of!

Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!
So grateful that Haley was not only able to accommodate a last minute request but also took amazing care of my puppy, Izzy. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and videos and Izzy clearly enjoyed her time there! I highly recommend Haley as a sitter to anyone in the Court House/Clarendon area.

It was so easy to communicate with Amanda - quick responses to my messages and we are all set for a meet and greet, then she looked after Daisy today. She has a really cute ground level apartment right next to the Ballston Commons, and it has access to a fenced in shared yard for bathroom breaks. Daisy takes a moment to warm up to new people, but she quickly befriended Amanda and it took some effort when I came to pick her up to get Daisy to leave her curled up spot on the couch next to Amanda. ❣️. I'm so happy to have found a good Rover daycare sitter and will definitely be booking with Amanda again!

We always have a great experience booking with Michel. Our rescue pup struggles with us leaving, but with patience and kindness, he settles in well with Michel. She is very responsive and asks questions to know our preferences (e.g., with treat giving). We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.

Nyla and Corey took excellent care of my pets while I was visiting my brother in Alexandria. They were able to accommodate a last minute request due to an unforeseen work situation I was in. Corey was able to pick up my pups and bring them home which was a huge help, as I am not very familiar with the DC Metro area in addition to the horrific traffic. They sent me photos during the day to let me know how my dogs were doing, which was great as I am a helicopter pet parent. What began as a last minute doggy day care issue became a blessing as I will always utilize Corey and Nyla in the future when visiting my brother in Alexandria. I should also mention that I have a bossy female toy poodle Lu and a mini Aussie puppy Finn. They are both well trained but get super excited being around new people and Finn needs mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. They both came home to me happy and sleepy, I know that Finn would not be sleepy if he did not get the stimulation that he needs especially at this stage of his life. Thank you, Corey and Nyla! I appreciate you both so much and would give you more than 5 stars if I could! I will be a repeat customer, hopefully not last minute next time! Thanks again for caring for my babies!

Kristin took excellent care of my nervous 3 month old puppy. My puppy had never stayed at someone else’s home, and I felt super comfortable leaving her with Kristin. I got photos throughout the day and a tired happy puppy at pickup :) will definitely hire again!
