About: I’ve had a dog of my own who will always hold a special place in my heart. 🐶💕 I’d love to give your pup the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I work full-time, but I live very close to home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to check in on your babies throughout the day. I’ll make sure they get regular walks, attention, and care while you’re away! I have two friendly cats who are happy to keep your pets company! 🐱💕 If your pet prefers their own space, I also have a spare bedroom where they can relax comfortably and have some quiet time. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I got my first dog when I was 6 and cared for her until I moved abroad at 17. I also adopted a cat at 15 and have been responsible for her daily care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am generally available on weekdays and weekends with flexible hours. Monday–Friday: 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM Weekends: Available all day (morning, afternoon, and evening) I am able to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed and can accommodate regular or recurring walks as well as occasional bookings. I am especially flexible on weekends and during school breaks. I always prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.
About: I personally have a 2 year old Siberian husky back in Colorado that I dearly miss. I have taken care of smaller dogs like Yorkies as well. I enjoy their company and taking them on walks I’m free mostly on weekends. If you need me to drop off or take them for a walk during week days, I can do so. I work from home Monday and Friday and Tuesday- Wednesday I’m at the office. I prefer to take care of pets in your home. I follow instructions and make sure that their meds/ food or walk requirements are all met.
“She did a great job with my cats when I was on the vacation for a week. She went above and beyond on her drop in visits and even left a nice bonus of printed pictures of my cats. Which is understandable because they are very photogenic.”

About: Growing up, we had almost as many dogs as we did kids in the house. My parents were huge pet people, so I guess they just passed it down to me as well however, even as a child, I always had a love of animals. There were many times that I brought home birdies with broken wings, or tried to sneak frog in the house without my mom noticing. My love for animals only grew the older I got but also my education. Being able to work directly under licensed veterinarians, gave me the opportunity to understand treatment plans for minor and major issues that animals can face. I was given the opportunity to work with newborn animals along with those that require senior care. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of animals that are expecting and helping to bring new life into the world. It was during this time, but many friends and neighbors took the opportunity to ask me to watch their animals. Anytime they went on vacation or maybe just had to take a long business trip. Even when an animal is in their home, having a new person around can still sometimes be nerve-racking. But I take pride in knowing that I’m able to make sure they feel comfortable and loved even when their parents are away. I work from home teaching English as a second language. This allows me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I have open availability Monday through Friday. I’m also able to help out on the weekends depending on the timing. However, I’m willing to be flexible. Traveling as an adult with pets can sometimes be difficult. I remember being stressed over whether or not I’ve picked the right boarding facility, or worrying that they would have too many differences in their day-to-day routine while I was away. Pets deserve to feel just as loved and cared for even when moms and dads need a vacation. I would love to be able to provide both you owners and your pets with a sense of trust and security.
“Afnan is so wonderful. I always know my kitty is in great hands when Afnan is watching her! I even joke that my kitty likes it better when I leave and her favorite cat sitter gets to come spend time with her. Perfect communication and flexibility. Thank you again 💜”
“Yasmeen settled my cat Leela who was not happy about being left alone, and in just a day or two all issues disappeared. Incredible cat rapport, I can't say enough good things about how the cat visits went. Yasmeen is a cat therapist, way more than a sitter, and I will unhesitatingly ask for her help again.”
About: I have taken care of a family pet for over 8 years and helped with friends and cousins pets as well! I have a gentle yet firm approach and comfortable with dogs from 5 pounds to 99 pounds. I work from home 3 days a week and my schedule allows for flexibility with dogs of various breeds and sizes! I am available for most services and happy to discuss any not listed on a case-by-case basis. I do not have a yard myself and I am well prepared to care for dogs in apartments, houses, or any other homes regardless of yards or not.
About: [NOTE: I was active on Rover before the star system was employed, so I have reviews, but no stars yet as I jump back in!] I'm Tom, based in Falls Church near the National Cemetery. I work from home as a consultant with a lot of flexibility during the week, so weekday middays are actually open rather than squeezed around something else. I'm looking after all kinds of dogs, from easy ones who just want their loop around the block to dogs who need a little more thought. My own dog is Buddy, a 70lb pittie who was very reactive towards people and animals. I've also fostered for Lost Dog and AARF in Baltimore, which meant a steady rotation of dogs showing up with almost no history, so you learn to read a dog quickly and adjust rather than run everyone through the same routine. Some of those fosters were reactive, on leash with other dogs or with strangers approaching, and a few were both. It's an area I am familiar with and I'm glad to take those dogs on. It also just made me a better walker generally. I pay attention to the small stuff, the ears and the pause, and I'd rather pick a calm route your dog actually enjoys than a scenic one that leaves them wound up. If your dog does better in a particular harness or with a specific setup, tell me and I'll use it! I used to pet sit here on Rover, and these days I stick to weekday walks and drop-ins close to home so I'm never rushing between neighborhoods. I've got a car, so rain doesn't change anything and I can get to a vet fast if I ever need to. I ask for a meet and greet for reactive dogs before every first booking. I want to meet your dog on their turf with you there, and hear how you read them, since nobody knows them better than you do! Non-reactive dogs can have a meet and greet too, but it isn't mandatory. Available weekdays, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Would love to hear about your dog! I'm currently off-season for my job, so I can reliably be scheduled from 9AM to 3PM (so I can do daycare pickup)! I have lots of flexibility this time of year. Happy to be a recurring friend! I follow whatever routine you set. Tell me where the leash and treats live, how you want the door handled, and any quirks I should know about, and I'll stick to it exactly. I leash up before opening the door, check the collar or harness fits properly, and confirm the door is locked behind me on the way out. Keys or codes stay with me and aren't shared. If anything seems off with your dog, you'll hear from me right away.
“Very nice and professional. Amber went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable with her. Our hyper pitbull puppy wasn't to much for her. Both dogs took a liking to Amber immediately. Both were fighting for her attention. My wife and I definitely will use Amber again.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, horses, dogs, cats, and even fish. Additionally I have been responsible for taking care of dogs since high school and love being around them. I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. Including administering medication. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and provide you as many updates as you like through our your trip. If you have any questions please reach out to me. I have a wonderful older lab that gets along great other dogs (and cats) both young and old. He loves making new friends!
“Winnie is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She genuinely cares about our cat, taking time to understand her personality and needs. We received daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while away. Our cat was relaxed and well cared for when we returned, and everything from playtime to litter box cleaning was handled with care. If you want someone who treats your pets like family, Winnie is the one! Highly recommend!”
About: I’m very careful with puppies and senior care. I have experience with abused animals and I have the perfect touch for them bc I’m a massage therapist. I’m absolutely flexible trustworthy and respectful of all animals. I just lost my dog from cancer so I will spoil your fur baby with love. I have a beautiful huge back yard that’s fenced. Inside lots of space too. It was used for a daycare once it’s very Very safe.
“Ozgenur did a wonderful job caring for Bo. She was courteous, kind, and on time. She made sure that I was notified about their day while I was away and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you!”
About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a part time employee so weekdays I’m free from 11:30 to around 3 but on Fridays and Saturday I’m free all day. Sundays after 4pm I can feed, play, or walk any animal and can adjust to all personalities. I can ensure that whatever instructions you give me I will do my best to make them happen and make sure you animals is well taken care of.
About: Hi there! If you’re looking for a cozy, safe, and super loving environment for your furry best friend, you’ve definitely found the right place. I’ve been surrounded by paws and purrs my whole life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from tiny, energetic 1-month-old babies to sweet, 15-year-old seniors who just want a quiet place to snuggle. My wife, our friends, and I are all huge animal lovers, so your pet will get endless cuddles, belly rubs, and attention here! I'd love to help you with boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. For boarding, we have an awesome setup in McLean: a comfy 1-bedroom place with a fully fenced backyard. It’s absolutely perfect for safe, off-leash zoomies and relaxing in the sun! We also have a house in Vienna, which is home to our three chill, 2-year-old American Shorthair cats. As a devoted pet dad myself, I know exactly how hard it is to leave your babies behind. That’s why I treat every pet exactly like my own. I pay close attention to healthy diets, love setting up fun enrichment (I even grow fresh cat grass!), taking the pups on nice long walks, and I don't mind giving them a bath if they get a little messy from playing. I promise to send you lots of cute photo updates so you can relax knowing they're having a great time. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care is a seamless part of our daily routine! My wife works fully remote, meaning someone is almost always home to provide round-the-clock love and attention. I work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office two days a week. By teaming up, we guarantee your pet gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of midday cuddles. You will never have to worry about your furry family member being left alone for long stretches—they will always have a loving human companion nearby to play with or snuggle next to! For dogs, our McLean location features a fully fenced backyard, providing a perfectly secure space for off-leash zoomies and safe outdoor play. For cats staying at our Vienna home, we offer flexible setups: a social 'Youth Hostel' vibe with our three friendly resident cats, or a quiet 'Private Suite' for pets who need their own peaceful space. Because our own cats are notorious little thieves who are always trying to sneak a bite of our bread and human food, we’ve become experts at pet-proofing! We maintain strict habits to keep our entire home meticulously clean, organized, and free of any accessible hazards. You can rest assured that our whole house is a 100% pet-friendly and secure environment. We strictly follow your feeding and medication guidelines, always double-check that gates and doors are secure, and tailor our care to your pet's needs. Whether that means taking dogs for long, stimulating walks, setting up engaging enrichment activities, or giving them a gentle bath after a messy play session, your pet is in safe and loving hands!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Loring
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Aliso and felt completely comfortable knowing our dog and cat were in such caring hands. She was attentive, dependable, and treated our dog and cat with genuine love and kindness. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
We love having Tricia do drop-in visits for our 2 dogs when we’re out of town! She is great with our dogs and they love her. She always communicates anything we might need to know and she lets us know how they are doing. I highly recommend entrusting Tricia with caring for your fur babies!
Sophia was amazing and very communicative. She is very perceptive about the needs of your pets and has a natural ability to make the pups feel like everything is still business as usual, even without the owners being present. Our boys loved her and we came home to happy pups! I will definitely be booking with her again!
Mitzi was communicative, warm, understanding, and took very good care of my baby, even taking her for walks when my girl showed she wanted it! When there were difficulties with getting into our apartment building, Mitzi went above and beyond to try to help me sort it out. I have total trust in Mitzi and will absolutely be reaching out in the future!
Amanda did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were gone for a few days! They were clearly very happy when we got home and she kept us posted with lots of cute pictures while we were gone. She even left them some treats and made sure their things were tidy on her last visit. We would 100% have her care for them again.
