“Maren and her family provided excellent care for our dogs- a large mix and a senior beagle (and the peculiarities that come with an older hound- 2x daily pills, frequent potty breaks). Maren is very kind and thoughtful; I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care while we were out of town. Maren sent photos daily. My dogs had a great weekend with Maren and her family!”
“Rebeca is so caring and sweet. It’s the second time that we use her service and my puppy loves her so much. She stays calm and happy. Highly recommended.”
“Cheryl and Gustavo took such wonderful care of Noah. They kept me updated throughout the day and always sent sweet photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They made sure Noah went on nice walks, and she looked so happy and loved in every picture. I’m truly grateful for their kindness and care — I would happily trust them with Noah again anytime.”
“David and his family took great care of Rocky. Good communication, reliable, friendly and they sent photo updates frequently. I appreciated his kids giving Rocky lots of love and attention. Will definitely book again!”
“Carlos took fantastic care of our dog Eddie! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Eddie's stay and also took Eddie on several walks a day. He really took great care of Eddie and it was really the best Rover stay Eddie has had yet! I could tell Eddie had a great time going on walks, playing with Carlos's dogs and I will definitely have Carlos watch him again in the future!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and I must say it was such a great experience! Veronica was super laid back and made me feel that Jax was in great hands. I was so worried to drop him off with someone other than family but I will most definitely be reaching out to Veronica in the future. Thanks Veronica!”
“This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”
“Jim did it again for us! He took care of our dog, Keetna once again. Jim has become a home away from for him. It makes it so much easier to leave him when we can trust Jim with his care (and some loving on him).”
“Candice was an excellent sitter for Ahsoka. They took to each other immediately and she sent me plenty of pictures. Ahsoka was very loved and I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“Mariel and her family were lovely. We received daily updates with pictures and videos. They took Remy on all sorts of fun adventures, entertained him with new toys and gave him lots of snuggles. Our pup is our baby and we would happily use Mariel again in the future.”
“Our second time booking with Jorge & Alejandra, they are wonderful! Took such great care of our pup, she got more playtime with them than she ever gets at home! Will definitely book with them again.”
“Fantastic experience overall! Heather did a great job taking care of our high-energy pitbull during our 8-day vacation. She kept us updated regularly, sent lots of pictures, and really helped put our minds at ease. Thank you so much, Heather!”
“Rosario was amazing with my dog Blaze! She gave him lots of walks, playtime, and activities, and he loved making new friends with her dogs. She treated Blaze like her own and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Karen took great care of our little anxious dog. She sent lots of pics and reassurance that Sophie was doing great and well taken care of. She sent lots of pics and updates everyday!”
“I recently used Nancy to take care of my furry friend on short notice, and I couldn't be happier with the service! I could see the genuine care and attention she provided to my pup. The regular updates and photos were delightful, and offered peace of mind. I highly recommend Nancy for anyone seeking a reliable, friendly, and passionate dog sitter.”
“Foggy had such a great time at Joanna & John’s. He got along great with their dog and came home tuckered out and very happy. We would happily book with them again!”

Fairfax Station dog parents share their Rover experiences
Serena was a true lifesaver on this trip for us! She took such excellent care of our dog, who needed special medications and a specific diet while we were gone. Under her care, he was back to his normal self in no time and had a great time during his stay, as usual. We were so grateful to be able to go on our planned trip knowing he was in good care. Serena was great at sending us regular updates and giving Tucker lots of TLC during his stay. Would recommend 1000%
Natalia and her family were excellent caretakers of our two dogs. She was very much in touch with us, sending pictures and texting with comments to keep us informed. The dogs seemed happy and calm after staying with them for 8 days. Definitely recommend this pet sitter and will absolutely schedule their services again!
This was my first time having a non family member take care of my 16 year old dog. I found Suzi on Rover and felt comfortable with the reviews showcasing how great Suzi was with other senior dogs. Once I reached out to her and I got to visit her and get to know her as a person and her caretaking experience I knew I had found the right person to care for my dog for a long weekend trip. My dog felt right at home as soon as she arrived to Suzi's house and from then on she received only love and the best care. I got daily texts from Suzi telling me how things were going which helped me feel comfortable and enjoy my trip more. Suzi was 100 percent focused on meeting my senior dog's needs and medical limitations. I plan to continue using her caretaking services many more times. I feel very lucky to have found her.
Henry took excellent care of our dog, Rusty, while we were away. He made sure Rusty got plenty of walks, attention, and exercise, and he kept us updated throughout our trip with frequent photos and messages. It was very reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Rusty was while we were gone. Henry was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Rusty’s well-being. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would gladly book with him again!
Mariel and her family are simply awesome! When I dropped off my puppy (OK, he's 5yo now, but still my puppy), I could immediately tell that she is a gentle person, and a "dog person." You can just tell when people are dog people. My shy Border Terrier quickly got very comfortable with her in her home. I was worried b/c for his entire life, he's only known my house, my backyard, and walks around the neighborhood. I haven't socialized him enough (bad daddy), so he is a bit nervous around new people. It took him minutes to settle down and get comfortable with Mariel. She sent us photos throughout his stay, and she kept me apprised with frequent text messages to let me know exactly how he was doing. I am a nervous daddy with my boy (like seriously over-protective), but Mariel is now my go-to sitter when I need to leave town again. She rates every one of these 5 stars, and if you are looking, I don't think you will find anyone who will love on your four-legged family member more than Mariel!
Very happy to have my sweet pittie boarding with Alexis and Ducky again! She ran up to the house with great excitement and was welcomed warmly! Alexis also gave wonderful update pics and info on Envy's stay! She is easy to coordinate and communicate with! Will be bringing my pup back (:
Christopher and Ellen (and Harbor) took excellent care of my little old ladies, Ellie (17) and Spotsy (15). Ellie has very stiff hips, but needs frequent trips outside, so the fenced back yard that's only 2 steps down was ideal. Christopher and Ellen will be my first choice for boarding whenever I leave town.
Leigh helped Chloe get acquainted with the other dog she was sitting, her new surroundings and the other humans in her home. They went for a long walk around Burke Lake which helped Chloe adjust and bond with Leigh and her new dog friend! Looking forward to having Chloe stay again!
