About: Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and I’m generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
“Our puppy loves Devora!! She is communicative, prompt, reliable, and we know that our puppy is in good hands. She initiated a meet-and-greet before we booked and we could tell she was a good fit right away. She takes Nala on long walks, plays, and sends lots of cute picture updates. We are so lucky to have her watch our pup!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities over the years. I raised my own dog from puppyhood and also have experience fostering, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, crates, and keeping up with your dog’s normal routine. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust with your pet, so I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while they’re in my care. I’m also comfortable with multiple-dog households and dogs that may need a little extra patience and attention. I work from home full-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’m also able to accommodate many last-minute requests. If you happen to live in my building or nearby, even better — I’m happy to help with quick walks, drop-ins, or care when something comes up unexpectedly. I live in a secure high-rise and provide a calm, clean environment where your dog will get plenty of individual attention. I’m comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, crate routines, and any house rules you have in place. I’m very mindful about leash safety, elevators, doors, and interactions with other dogs, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know your pup is safe and happy.
“Tricia was perfect! She really went above and beyond to take good care of my cats while I was away. I didn’t worry about them once while I was gone, which is honestly a first for me. I hope to always be able to book her in the future!”
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job checking in our kitty. The photos and videos were so thoughtful and gave us a reassuring insight to our pet’s mood. She was able to easily adapt to our instructions and gave us peace of mind while away. She went above and beyond in her service and we will absolutely use her again in the future and recommend her to other fur parents are well!”
“Nedia is absolutely amazing. My pup loves her so much and they had such a great time together. She is so sweet and considerate and I feel so good knowing she’s checking in and hanging out with him! The absolute best!! If you’re looking for someone to book she is the one!!! 🤍”
About: I currently have an open schedule and can come walk and play with your dogs and cats as early or as late as you would like! I am flexible. I've just moved to Vienna, live alone, and have an open schedule. I am flexible and reliable, and would love to play with and care for your dogs and cats! I took care of up to 5 cats and 1 human, simultaneously, for 14 years. They received a lot of my love and attention. We spent lots of time in nature trails, our backyard, and on the couch. And now I'm happy to extend that to your dogs!
About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
“As always, Trent went above and beyond with our pets. This time around, our cat needed oral medications via syringe and Trent seems to be better at it than we are haha. He always leaves detailed notes with so many pictures. 100/10”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with two dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I've cared for family members' dogs, including senior dogs with health conditions that required administering daily medications and providing extra patience and attention. I've also helped care for friends' young puppies, reinforcing potty training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or a little extra care due to age or medical needs, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Also I WORK FROM HOME, makes day caring for your little ones easier. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home!! This helps with me being able to give your little one all the care and attention they need, so you can have peace of mind. I have a pet friendly condo where there are plenty of dog spots to walk and play with your loved one. I can crate a schedule around what they’re used to.

“This was our first time using Rover and working with Morgan for our dog's care, and we couldn't have had a better experience. Morgan was friendly, attentive, and professional in carrying out all the responsibilities we asked of her - from the meet and greet to each of the drop-in care/walking times we scheduled. She left detailed notes and pictures for us each time, giving us peace of mind our dog was being well cared for. We'll definitely plan to book care with Morgan again!”
“Anne was AWESOME. She was very communicative right from the beginning, showed up on time for our drop-in visit, provided frequent updates, and our dog clearly had an amazing time with her. I highly recommend Anne for future pet care needs!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Dunn Loring is $20

Alexis did such an amazing job with my senior cat, Cayenne. She gave amazing Rover reports/photos and she was able to administer fluids for my cat. He is 19 years old and needs a lot of gentle care and attention. Going out of town is generally very stressful for us to leave Cayenne at home, but he clearly loved her!! I will 100% be using her again if we go out of town.
Amanda was great as always and even had to deal with us and our door code issues, sorry! Thank you for waiting and being patient. We will definitely reach out to her again and are very grateful for her communication, flexibility, and proper care for Morris. Thanks!
Joaquin was great! He was super accommodating about changing my cat's feeding plan after her automatic feeder disconnected from the internet while I was gone, which I really appreciated. I was also grateful that he took the initiative to clean up hairballs while I was gone - with three cats, I was expecting to come back to a lot of cleaning, so this was a really nice bonus. I'd definitely rehire him
Elisabeth was an absolute lifesaver while I was traveling! She was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with my cat, Coco. I was away for over 20 days, and I could tell that Coco was well cared for and didn’t feel nearly as lonely while I was gone. Elisabeth was also extremely responsible and flexible with the key handoffs. We had to coordinate the key a few different times, and she even offered to drop it off with my friend, which I really appreciated. She also took so many adorable photos of Coco without me even having to ask. Getting all those cute updates made me miss Coco a little less while I was away. I’m so grateful to Elisabeth for taking such great care of Coco, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Coco again! ❤️

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
