“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”
“Ruthy was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible and accommodating with our last minute request, and treated our pup like one of her own. Very communicative, sent many photos and videos so we could see how much fun Wednesday was having. It made us feel a lot more relaxed on our trip. Her own two dogs, Milo and Cicero, are the sweetest—clearly very well trained and very playful. Wednesday was very exhausted and happy when we picked her up. Thanks Ruthy!”
“This was Hunter’s second stay with Didem and her husband and it was, again, great! Drop off and pickup both went smoothly and Hunter was clearly very comfortable being back at Didem’s home. When we picked him up he actually had to be woken up, he had definitely found a second home! We will absolutely continue to entrust Hunter to Didem whenever we leave town.”
“Thank you again Zach! Our 3rd (or 4th?) stay with Zach and he really went above and beyond this time. We got stuck in terrible traffic and got home at 1am so he agreed to watch sunny for an extra night without any issue. Thanks Zach!”
“Rob is an excellent dog sitter. My little pup has separation anxiety and felt very at home with Rob, and eventually became their shadow. Thank you, Rob! We’ll be seeing you in the future 💜”
“Thanks to Josh for a wonderful stay! Django looked like he had a great time and seemed right at home with Josh. They say that dogs can sense great humans when they interact with them, and I can tell Josh is definitely a great guy who loves dogs. Highly recommend :)”
“Great experience with Robyn. My dog Barley was very happy when I picked him up. Robyn updated me with pictures while we were away. He was exercised regularly and taken care of really well. Super happy with his care.”
“Joann was great! She took us on with really late notice, sent updates of our cute sleepy dog, and our pup came home super happy. Would work with Joann again in the future!”
“Suzanne was awesome with my pups. From our first meeting to the pickup she was great with communication and efficiency. I could tell my pups enjoyed their stay and will definitely be reaching out to Suzanne for further boardings. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Michelle and Mandar were wonderful dog boarders. They welcomed our sweet Kaya into their home like one of their own. We received daily photos and videos with updates. It was reassuring to know our pup was in good hands!”
“Maya (Anchisa) was an exceptional sitter for our furry son. We took a 5 day family vacation and she watched our 17 lb dog. Maya sent multiple updates every day and seemed to like taking as many photos and videos of our little guy as we do! We feel very comfortable trusting Maya with our dog.”
“Jessie is the best. She was so communicative and sent so many pictures. Ellie had a great time with her, Cade and Eta. They took her on so many little adventures in the evenings and Ellie looked so happy and relaxed.”
“Kate and her family were wonderful! We just moved and Grizzly was a bit stressed. He settled in immediately at their house and had plenty of play time. I appreciated the regular updates and picture while we were away. Thank you!”
“Kristiina was great, communicative, and responsive. She followed directions, sent videos and pictures and made my nervous pup comfortable. After drop off, Kristiina noticed my dog had a bandaged leg and promptly asked about it and how he needed to be cared for. In my rush, I had forgotten to mention it. It was not a big issue (just a hot spot that was healing) but I really appreciated how observant she was and how important it was to make sure he was taken care of appropriately.”
“5/5 🌟 Olivia was friendly and flexible from the beginning of our encounter. They took great care of our 65 lbs goldendoodle and sent us daily updates. We are so happy we’ve found a reliable dog boarder so close to home.”
“Charlene is the best! She and her partner take such good care of our fur-baby we can relax knowing he’s well looked after. The photos and videos she sends are awesome! I can’t say enough good things about our experiences, we’ll be back!”
About: If you haven't sign up Rover yet, here is a $40 credit to try our service for your first $20+ booking with Rover by September 6, 2026 Use this following referral link: https://www.rover.com/sit/weavej23651 Ever since I was young, I have cared for many different kinds of animals and pets, from small ones like turtles and golden fish, to later adopting my first German Shepherd and my first cat. After that, the way I felt about pets completely changed. They were no longer just animals for me to take care of. In my heart, they became companions, and eventually true family members. From a young age, I naturally became interested in learning more about animals, especially cats and dogs. I started researching pet care, behavior, and the knowledge needed to understand them better. I believe every pet is different. As animal's friends, we need to be patient enough to listen, attentive enough to observe, and willing to truly understand their feelings, needs, and personalities. This mindset and these experiences have gradually deepened my passion for the pet industry and led me to step into this field. I’m a full-time caregiver and I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer same-day requests and one-day cancellation for added flexibility. available 24/7 to support your needs. Feel free to message/call me if you have any concern. Communication is the key. I have fenced yard and a friendly dog and two cats to keep your fur buddy company. If you request a private space, I have another individual unit with no pet. I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s activity and share their little vacation through messages, photos, and videos. Whether you’re at work, attending an event, or traveling, you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing at any time. We’ll spend quality time playing, walking, and keeping them engaged, so they stay happy and never bored. If you need any in-home service, we will also make sure everything is handled according to your instructions, preferences, and household rules.
“Lupi had a great stay with Erika and the Pea! It was very comforting to see adorable photo and video updates from Erika throughout Lupi's stay. Erika also did a great job communicating with the owner. Overall we were very happy with her services and will be choosing Erika and family again!”
“Madeleine was so fantastic! This was the first time we left our dog with anyone, and I was so happy everything went smoothly. Our dog warmed up to Madeleine immediately and she was very accommodating to our needs and concerns. Thank you so much for making our pup feel safe and comfortable!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax
Shannon and Rocky were awesome! Our dog, Peanut, is 14 years old and needs more care than a younger pup. We were also gone for an extended period of time (10 days) which is unusual for us. Shannon and Rocky went above and beyond to make sure Peanut was comfortable, engaged and well cared for. They administered medications, cooked eggs and beef to top the dog food (how we get our dog to eat her food), and walked her at her own pace, which is often slow. Peanut requires a bit more work at her age and Shannon and Rocky were so lovely about it. We received updates and it was reassuring. Peanut seemed happy to be there, and we wouldn't hesitate to leave Peanut with them again.
Hy and Arlo are the best sitters we’ve used through Rover! They were extremely attentive and patient with our dogs and our pups loved their stay!!! Also, we got plenty of photos and check-ins throughout their stay. They are truly amazing at what they do and I will definitely rebook!
Iryna was so reliable for our weekend out of town, watching our dog at her house. She was flexible with drop off and pick up timing, and sent photo updates of our dog. Our pup was clearly very comfortable and happy with her. Iryna doesn’t leaves the dogs she sits alone, as her husband is also present and assists. The bonus was that our dog had a little buddy for the weekend, Irynas puppy. She was well exercised and socialized and we’d love to bring her back!
Chad was amazing! This was the first time we'd ever boarded our dog and the longest time he'd been away from us so I was quite nervous about how it would go. Chad was very reassuring and managed our very high energy pup. Our baby was happy to see us when we picked him up but I think he would have been happy to stay at Chad's place even longer. :)
Astrid took excellent care of our special needs senior dog. Our dog is deaf, has arthritis in her hips, has skin allergies and requires medication twice a day — even with all these needs Astrid took special care of Miley. She was also very professional and sent updates daily. We truly appreciate her and would 100% book again with Astrid.
Susan took wonderful care of Kiwi while we were away on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking time out of her busy schedule to meet Kiwi several times before his stay, which really helped him become comfortable with her—especially since he experiences separation anxiety. We felt completely at ease knowing Kiwi was in such caring and capable hands. Susan was thoughtful, patient, and genuinely caring throughout his stay. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take great care of their fur baby while they’re away!
Charlene is our favorite sitter! She is easy to work with and responsive about availability. Henry loves going to her house, and comes home pleasantly exhausted from running around in her yard, attempting to chase her unfazed cats, and hanging with his dog buddies.
