“Todd was awesome! My dog is a bit special and takes time to get used to new people. I did a short daycare session with Todd to get them acquainted and they were buds by the end of the visit! He is very patient and took his time to meet my dogs needs - highly recommend!”
About: I have been a dedicated dog lover for years, caring for a variety of breeds for neighbors, friends, and family. As a former foster parent to several dogs before adopting one, I am experienced in helping pups of all temperaments feel safe and welcome in a new environment. Since I work from home, your pet will have constant supervision and companionship. I specialize in providing personalized attention to ensure your dog follows their usual feeding and exercise routine. My own well-trained dog is a friendly playmate for social guests, but I am also happy to provide solo time if preferred. Whether it's long walks or just snoozing by my desk, your pup will be treated like family. As a full-time work-from-home professional, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I structure my day around frequent potty breaks, backyard play sessions, and midday walks. Because I have experience fostering, I’m great at maintaining a consistent routine that helps guest pets feel secure. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet place to nap while I work, I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. Safety is my top priority. I have a fully fenced, secure yard where dogs can play safely under my supervision. As I work from home and have fostered many dogs, I have developed expertise in monitoring pet interactions and interpreting body language to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. At home, I take a 'paws-on' approach. I am happy to use crates for sleeping or meal times if that is what your pet is used to, or they can lounge freely in my office while I work. I treat every guest pet with the same level of care and trust I give my own well-trained pup, ensuring a stress-free stay for both you and your furry friend.
“Ninfa did a great job. She is so careful and aware of healthy care for your dog. I can tell my dog enjoy being there and enjoyed their walks. I will definitely continue to use Ninfa.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who started pet sitting for neighbors as a preteen. I have a lot of experience managing my leash- and dog-reactive dog over the years (sadly my fur babies have now all crossed the rainbow bridge). I really miss having four paws in the house, and working from home, I am able to provide lots of attention, walks and TLC to your best friend. I also have a large fenced-in backyard for potty breaks and a quick game of fetch. I exclusively work from home Monday through Friday, so I'm always here with your fur baby. I'm also available for boarding in my home once we get to know each other. I have a large, fenced-in backyard and I'm happy to crate your dog (or not) depending on their needs and your preferences. There are no resident pets in the house.
“I can’t say enough good things about her! She was reliable, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she really cared. I felt completely at ease knowing things were in her hands. Absolutely five stars.I would trust her again in a heartbeat.””
“Nandini has been an excellent dog sitter! She kept us updated with periodic photos and messages about Leo, and we could tell that he was super happy and comfortable at her place. She gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel that Leo was in safe hands, so we didn’t have to worry about him at all while we were away. Nandini is pleasant, welcoming, caring, and very easy to work with. We truly appreciate the wonderful care she gave Leo and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
“It has been a pleasure dealing with Renata from the start. I was visiting Reston VA for a few days and needed a day of daycare for my dog Nicolo. Renata and I had an intro call a few weeks in advance and then a meet and greet. Renata was calm and organized and responded to all my questions/texts. Everything went smoothly. Normally Nicolo panics when I leave him somewhere and paces and whines. He was very calm at Renatas and I got pictures and updates throughout the day. When I went to pick him up he didn’t race out to see me like he does at the vet or groomer. I appreciated the rundown of walks, naps and poops I received as well. I will definitely seeks Renatas help when I am in Reston again.”
“Sherina took great care of Billie and sent updates throughout the day. I feel comfortable leaving Billie in her care and will definitely be booking Sherina in the future!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Maggie's sister! Maggie is still a puppy, so she has endless energy and is extremely curious about absolutely everything. She also has a very sneaky habit of trying to eat anything she can find off the ground, something we’re actively working on! Greta and her sister was so patient and attentive with her and took Maggie on 7 walks throughout the day. I also really appreciated how well everything was documented throughout the day. It was reassuring to have such detailed updates and know exactly how Maggie was doing. And I absolutely loved that she nicknamed Maggie the “trash cleaner” because of her determination to pick things up off the ground. 😂 It was so accurate that we’ve decided that’s officially Maggie’s nickname until she learns to stop eating random things! It was clear that Maggie was very well cared for, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such attentive and capable hands. We would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have experience taking care of pets in daily life, including feeding, walking, and basic care. I am very responsible, patient, and detail-oriented. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m also comfortable with different personalities, including shy or energetic pets, and I treat every pet like my own. I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment for pets in my condo. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I have easy access to nearby walking trails and a dog-friendly park, which are great for regular walks and outdoor time. I always supervise pets closely and ensure they are leashed and safe when outside. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules and special needs. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.
About: I’ve been wanting to adopt a third dog, but my husband won’t let me, so doing Rover instead! I love dogs more than humans (at times), and fully believe that happy dogs make a happy home (aka they’re allowed on ALL the furniture and get ALL the love and attention 💕). I work from home full time and have a backyard, amazing walking trails, and am in short walking distance from a dog park where I go during lunch. I have a fenced in back yard and one fur babt of my own for doggos to play with! Our home is their home, so they’re welcome on the couches, beds, etc. They’re members of the family and deserve to be spoiled!
About: I've always been the family, friend, & neighbor go-to for pet care! I'm friendly, reliable, and I have a huge heart for furry friends. Your baby will be happy and free to roam the home all the time and play with an energetic, pup-friend (my boxer/hound rescue). Daily walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love are guaranteed. I am comfortable administering medicine, and your pup is welcome on the furniture. Any questions just ask! I am a teacher who is home weekends and most school holidays and can pick up/drop off your pet if needed. Last minute & holiday bookings are welcome. I have a large crate and access to smaller crates if needed. Otherwise, pets are welcome to roam free indoors all day & night. I'm in a 2 bedroom, garden-style condo. with a small patio that pups can be on a lead if they like. Otherwise, we can go to a little-known dog park that is grass surface and play for an hour every day (depending on weather). In your home, I can play with your pup, feed, medicate, whatever is needed. Overnights at my home are easy with last minute bookings. Thanks for reading :)
About: I have had dogs since I was 12 years old. I currently have a lovely Samoyed and he is the best! Gets along with other dogs and it's super playful. I treat furbabies like family I work from home so I'm available to play, feed and take care of your fur baby all the time, and, best part is, they will have a loving play pal! There is a lot of green areas around my apt so it makes it easier to go on walks and play. Also, my dog is super friendly and makes a great pay partner!
“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
About: Pet sitting/walking is the best occupation, and I enjoy it on a daily basis. I am available to hang out and care for animals 24/7, which makes it perfect for pups or cats that need that extra attention. Rover is my full time job and I absolutely love what I do. I prefer to give dogs their needed exercise or leave them alone if they are feeling lazy. In either case they are always under supervision. Cats are also my specialty as I have been caring for cats my whole life. As a mature pet sitter, I believe it provides a certain level of trust for my clients, they rest assured their loved ones are taken care of by someone who understands. Cheers! :) I am available 24/7 to care for your furry children. I am available any time throughout days and evenings. We are very flexible with scheduling, don’t hesitate to ask for schedule modifications. We do not have fenced in yard but have trails and woods right nearby. W&OD trail is walking distance from my house. We walk daily for at least 3-5 miles, if the pup is excited to do so. We can crate or not. We allow the pups on furniture and treat them like family members.
About: Your fur baby will have a great/safe time! I am an all around animal lover who believes you treat pets as a part of your family (as they are!) Your doggy will enjoy ample outside time, walks, cuddles and all around the clock loving! The only requirement is your doggy will have to be small kid friendly as I do have an 9 and 4 year old. Does your dog require medication? No worries! I am familiar with administrating medication. Need anything additional to provide for your dog? Ask away! I am very flexible. I look forward to spending time with your fur baby! I stay home full time and will be able to cater to your dogs every need and your every request. This makes it very easy for me to send plenty of pictures and updates. During your dogs stay they will be looked out for with care. During walks they will remain on a leash. I can also provide a crate if needed as well, dogs will only be crated per owner request.
“Deeksha was very communicative and easy to contact. I love that she took our pup for two short walks during her stay, and sent great photos. I look forward to having her watch my little one again soon!”
“Vivian was wonderful with our dog! She sent updates and pics throughout the day. She followed our instructions. She also accommodated her with some steps to get onto the couch and made a nice perch for her to look out the window. Thanks again Vivian!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dranesville
Jeanne was a godsend when I had an unexpected family emergency in the area. I was traveling with a puppy and needed to find someone who could watch her while I was at the hospital. She was so good with my very energetic pup. It was such a relief to know she was in good hands while I spent the day with my mom at the hospital!
I can’t say enough good things about her! She was reliable, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she really cared. I felt completely at ease knowing things were in her hands. Absolutely five stars.I would trust her again in a heartbeat.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dranesville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.

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 .
