House Sitting in Fairfax

“I've had Lori to come in and walk my dogs for me about 2 or 3 times but this is my first house sitting experience with Lori and she did a great job with keeping me updated on walks, feedings, and taking pictures, though I was busy on vacation, however, when I had time to check my phone a message in and pictures of the fur babies were waiting. 10out of 10 recommend for whatever family/pet care needs.🥰👍🏽”

“I got home to two pups who were excited to see me, but otherwise calm and happy. Dylan is a kind, chill presence and it seemed that Rocko and Hazel took their cue from that, and followed suit. They were obviously well cared for. The ability to remain home, for these two anyway, went a long way in giving me the peace of mind to be away for a few days. I would not hesitate to recommend Dylan to friends, neighbors or family needing care for their pets, nor will I hesitate to place Rocko and Hazel in Dylan's reliable hands in the future. Thank you so much, Dylan!”

“Kezia is great! She has watched my senior Westie last minute. Very caring and communicative. Daily check-ins photo and videos!”

“Amanda was great! I was worried about my dog because she’s older. But she was very well taken care of and Amanda made sure Reese’s was in good hands! I will definitely rebook with her.”

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds, as well as cats. From high-energy playtime and daily walks to providing the gentle, attentive care that senior dogs need, I know how to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to feed, walk, and look after their furry family members. I maintain a flexible part-time routine, which gives me plenty of dedicated time to focus on your pets! I am fully available for weekend boarding, and on weekdays, I am ready to step in for walks, playtime, and companionship anytime after 2:00 PM. Because my schedule is highly predictable, you can count on consistent routines and timely updates for your furry family members. Keeping pets safe and comfortable matters most here. A spacious, completely enclosed yard offers plenty of room for supervised outdoor activity. The household runs quietly, adjusting smoothly to each pet’s habits. Crating happens when preferred by the pet or requested by you. Every detail, including feeding schedules, medications, and special directions, is followed exactly as given.

“Amber is absolutely fantastic! I was anxious about leaving my dog for a full week when I went out of town due to his separation anxiety, so I appreciated Amber was willing to stay at my place all week so he would feel comfortable in his own home. My dog requires daily medication and a special diet, and she administered his meds with no problem, and even went out of her way to cook him some of his favorite food when he ran out! She left the house spotless, and she is now going to be my go-to sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Wow, Maya is incredible and such a sweetheart!! Our pups were so well taken care of while we were gone and our house, too. We will be using Maya again ?”

“I really wanted to keep Brianna, but she communicates well when securing the job but her communication is hit or miss when sitting. Also, the last visit she was late and I asked for her to modify the visit to a drop in since she came late even after me asking for a cancelation. I still have not gotten half of my money back even after contacting Rover, which Brianna has nothing to do with. She was great with my pet and I appreciate that, but as a traveling fur mommy, communication is non negotiable and I still want my refund from Rover.”

“This was a repeat housesitting stay with Jessica, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. We will happily book with her anytime she's available. We have two cats and a dog, and all three love her. One of our cats is extremely shy and typically takes a very long time to warm up to new people. During Jessica's first stay, she was incredibly patient and respectful, allowing our cat to set the pace for interactions rather than forcing attention. Because of that, our cat clearly remembered her and trusted her. Within minutes of Jessica arriving for this stay, she came right up to greet her and even allowed Jessica to pet her again, which is something she rarely does with people outside our family. Jessica communicates well, follows instructions carefully, and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. She sends regular updates and lots of wonderful photos, which always help put our minds at ease while we're away. Seeing our fur babies happy, comfortable, and well cared for means so much to us. One thing that really stood out to us was what happened when she wasn't available for a previous booking. Rather than simply declining, she introduced us to her sister, Natalie, who is also a Rover sitter. Because we'd had a bad experience with another sitter in the past, Jessica went out of her way to personally come to the meet and greet with Natalie to help everyone feel comfortable and make the transition smooth. She wasn't being paid for that time and wasn't even the one caring for our pets during that booking, but she still took the extra step because she genuinely wanted us and our pets to feel at ease. That meant a lot to us. Jessica is reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and professional. She also takes excellent care of our home. When we return, everything is clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. You'd hardly know anyone had been staying there. Most importantly, our pets are happy, relaxed, and stress-free when we get home. We couldn't ask for more and highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.

“Cindy did an excellent job keeping Peanut company while we were away and kept us updated with lots of pics. She was always responsive and I would gladly use her in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been pet/house sitting for the last couple of years. The most animals I’ve worked with at one time is 4. I’m great with a schedule if your pet needs it. I love all pets and I can’t wait to get to know yours! I’m available most of the time I’m not working right now so the only time I won’t be free are for personal matters. I am looking for new work so this may change. I have worked with both larger and smaller dogs. If they are still working in training I can continue to work with them on what they know. I have helped train in the past but I haven’t done any primary training myself.

“Brittany may be tiny and innocent looking but she was a pro handling my 2 little psychos and my 80# brutt . I felt so comfortable leaving my brood with her for 9 days and came home to a clean and neet home and very happy healthy dogs. Will definitely call on her again‼️thank you rover for sending her my wayn”

“Jackie was great with our cat and our home while we were away. She was able to recognize signs of stress and adjust the care she provided to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable (he is typically on the skittish/nervous side as it is, so we wanted to make sure he was in good hands while out of town). She also sent us photos and updates while we were away. She was very kind and respectful. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

Karen S.

“This was our second time using Raniyah. She is so kind, gentle, and patient with our scaredy-cat dog and provides lots of playtime for the kitties. She sends tons of photos and interacts freely if she needs anything — which I appreciate. I’m so happy to have found her and hope to use her again soon. Highly recommended! 😊”

“Kristie was amazing!! We did not worry about our fur babies, or our home, the whole week we were gone. She made sure to reach out to us several times a day with pictures and updates which put our minds at ease knowing she was here with our fur babies. We will 100% for sure be using her again for house sitting.”
