About: With 20 years of experience for caring my dogs through puppy phase to old age, I’ve handled my chihuahua who passed at 15 and my German Shepherd that passed from Lymphoma. My compassion for animal goes beyond a simple walk and feed. We are their whole lives and I treat them as such especially when they are in my care to give both you and them, the comfort in your absent. Thank you for trusting me to be in your home and caring for your loved ones. Any excuses to enjoy our beautiful northern Virginia weather with a cute buddy by my side! I love walking and allow your dog to guide me on their trail and where they want to sniff or indoor play time with your cat. With the care experience I have, I know my time with them is short while you are away therefore, I want to make the most of it with their comfort as my top priority. Home is our safe place and sanctuary. With the up most respect to your home, I will only care for the pet and the things you allow me to touch. Thank you for allowing me in your home
About: I’ve grown up around pets and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’d like to say I graduated from TikTok University with a degree in pet care. I’m attentive, patient, and big on keeping things clean and sticking to each pet’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease! I recently graduated from VCU and am looking for a fun and fulfilling way to spend my free time doing something I genuinely love! I have a huge soft spot for animals and would love to help take care of yours. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! When someone else is caring for my own cats, I know how reassuring it is to receive pictures and updates throughout the day, so I make it a priority to do the same for you! I believe in treating others the way I’d want to be treated, and that means keeping you in the loop, respecting your home and instructions, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect regular updates, cute pictures, and the peace of mind of knowing your fur baby is in good hands!
“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my cat, Kafka, while I was out of town. She made sure he had his food, gave him his medication, and spent time playing with him and also send me pictures of him. Since Kafka is 19 years old, I really appreciated her care and attention. I highly recommend Nicole!”
About: Hello to every cynophile and ailurophile on here. My name is Carmen and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and if you are familiar with people from LA, you know we LOVE ALL animals. I grew up with a big family who loves animals and since I can remember we’ve always had pets at home. Back in LA we have 4 dogs, 1 turtle and now added to that 5 love birds! Anyways, I no longer live there and moved to the east coast with my partner about 2 years ago. Our new home now houses just 2 cats. One of them is a tabby cat who is 6 years old named Blinchik. He is a very outgoing cat that loves everyone and everything. My other cat is named Nala (Siamese/Tabby) and she is quite the opposite from Blinny boy. She loves to keep to herself and takes a while to trust anyone but once she is warmed up you can see her beautiful shy personality. I used to be a nanny which also meant I took care of their pets as well. I have lots experience taking care of other families pets as well as administering medications when needed. Since I’ve been a dog and cat mom, I treat other families pets like they are my own. I’m currently in grad school to become a Speech-Language Pathologist which gives me a lot of extra time to take care of your fur babies 🩷 I’m currently in my graduate program to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I’m in school Monday-Thursday with only one class a day. That being said, it gives me lots of extra time in the afternoon/evening to fill up with some dog walking, pet sitting, and playing time. My home has a fenced yard so if your fur baby is staying with me, they will have the yard all to themselves to run around and have fun. If I am coming to your home, know that I will respect it and get the job done as well as loving your pet as if they were my own.
About: Hi! I'm a Sterling-based dog lover offering dependable, attentive walks for your pup. Whether it's a quick midday potty break or a longer energy-burning walk, I treat every dog like my own — with plenty of patience, positive reinforcement, and photo updates so you know your dog is happy and safe. I'm reliable, punctual, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am currently engaged in full-time employment; therefore, I am available on weekends. Additionally, I am able to accommodate drop-in visits during weeknights as required. I have a German Shepherd, and he needs a lot of exercise, so I take him on three walks a day and throw the ball for a quick run.
“Raechel was great - super communicative, very flexible and always sent pictures. I would absolutely use her again for check ins with my cat, or to stay at my apartment and take care of both my pets.”
“Thank you so much again for taking such great care of my cat while I was away, and for all extra cares like watering the plants and handling the garbage!!! That was really thoughtful of you❤️ Hope to work with you again for any future trips!”
“Lindsey is always prompt and professional, plus we can tell she really likes animals! This is her second time taking care of our crew and she is already scheduled again. Thank you!”
“Clay was absolutely phenomenal when it came to cat sitting my cat, Itty Bitty. She is typically very shy, but when Clay came over to meet her for the first time, she was immediately smitten with him. She just wanted all the love and attention, which made me feel completely at ease. Itty Bitty struggles with separation anxiety, but she had no issues while I was away. In fact, she didn’t even seem bothered by my absence because of the exceptional care she received from Clay. Clay always stayed in touch, sending frequent updates and plenty of pictures. You can truly tell that he has a good soul and genuinely cares for and loves every animal he meets. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I am a lover of all animals and I currently have my tabby cat, April. My first pet sitting experiences started with my sister and long time friend, both of whom own two doggos. I like to send updates and pictures about every 2 hours and go on extended walks if your pet enjoys that. I’m also not scared to ask questions to ensure I’m giving your baby the best care possible. Special food instructions and medication with pill pockets have been common. Clients in the NOVA and DC area have emphasized that I’ve given them a peace of mind while they are away! I am a full time pet sitter and dog walker! I have plenty of open slots for walking. Recently I’ve been working with clients that I’ve met in person or through groups on Facebook, which is why you don’t see recent reviews on here. Feel free to follow Soso’s Pet Care on FB! When caring for your fur baby, I will carefully follow any instructions given to me regarding feeding, play time, and walking. I’ll always ensure the safety of your pet comes first, staying aware and cautious of other dogs, bikers, and traffic. Gaining their trust and giving them affection follows right behind that!
“Megan was very cheerful and helpful when taking care of my little kitty over the weekend! She sent cute photos and little updates about how he was doing after each visit and followed all of my instructions well! Thanks Megan :)”
“Brooke was consistent, reliable, communicative and caring for our two cats while we traveled for a week. We looked forward to the check in pictures Brooke sent everyday. Brooke — thank you SO much for taking such great care of our two boys while we were away. We could tell they were comfortable and happy with you, and they truly enjoyed your visits!!”
About: I got my first dog in 2011. He was a rescue pit bull and suspected to be a former fighting dog. Since he passed away, I have fostered puppies through Wolf Trap Animal Rescue and To The Rescue Inc. In November 2023, I adopted one of my fosters from WTAR. I have also dog-sat for various friends and family. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I go into the office 3 days a week. I can generally arrange so that day isn't while I am watching your pet. If I'm sitting for 5 straight weekdays, I will need to leave them for about 9-10 hours on 2 of the days. I love going for walks or having snuggles on the couch while I watch tv. My goal will be to keep their schedule as close to normal as possible. When I'm watching your pet, I treat them like my own. I want to give them all the love they get when you're home. I will treat your house with the utmost respect and make sure everything is left as I found it.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dranesville
Caroline took a wonderful care of my cats when I was away for 3 weeks. In addition to feeding the cats with wet food and cleaning the litter box, Caroline also played with the cats, watered my plants and did little cleaning after the cats. Caroline always sent pictures of my cats on every visits and was very responsive. I highly recommend her.

Michelle was wonderful taking care of Leo and Lucia. She sent detailed updates and photos after each visit, and we really enjoyed reading about her interactions with Leo. She was attentive, thoughtful and even took care of a few things we hadn’t asked her to do. You can tell she genuinely loves cats, and her updates gave us a few good laughs. We’d definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Brittany did a wonderful job taking care of Turtle while I was away! She sent photos and updates every day, and I could tell from the pictures that Turtle was happy, comfortable, and really enjoying her time with Brittany. That gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I really appreciated her attentiveness and the care she showed Turtle. I would absolutely book with Brittany again!
Allison was so great with our cats - responsive, communicative, and proactive! Couldn't ask for anything more in a cat sitter. We came home and our cats didn't seem desperately starved for affection, so I know they were in good hands with Allison when we were gone!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
