“Trent did a great job taking care of my two cats with just a couple of days notice. He was very easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and is obviously a pet lover. Would definitely work with him again.”
“We are very happy we used Emily to sit for our cat Lola. Lola is a shy cat, and can have some food-motivated aggression at times, but Emily handled this so well! She sent great pictures and updates every visit that made us feel that Lola was in great hands while we were away. She also left our house in tip-top shape. We would love to book with her again”
“Carole is great! Checked in at our requested times, sent photos to show us our girls were fine and gave us an update with each check in as how they were doing. Highly recommend!”
“Christina helped me greatly when I needed last-minute help with my two cats. She was so responsive and communicative and even took care of administering medication required for one of my cats. I so appreciate the smooth and worry-free experience I had, despite the last-minute nature of my request. Thank you Christina for being there for our kitties!!”
“Alex took such great care of Nellie, sending updates & photos and going above and beyond snuggling with her and taking her on good walks. So glad I found him!! Nellie has a new best friend”
About: Hey, use my code for $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/mahdoa39338 About me? I'm a WFH freelancer, and can choose my own hours. This leaves me wide open to help you and your pets on a call/text! Why me? I have loved, house-trained, and cared for nearly 25 cats and dogs over 45lbs. Several of my pets in my household needed end of life care or special medical treatment, too, which means I had extra love to give and ease their comfort. I have petsit for friends, family, and my extended network for the past 10yrs, and supported many of them through their special and unique needs and care. So, here I am, making it an official hobby. Because I am a part-time WFH freelancer, I have the flexibility to be more available and attentive for you and your pets! I'm always available, and LOVE giving PAWgress reports - pupdates and daily* mews! Reports are always more than just "daily" - pet content is a vital necessity ❤️ In any care with any pet, I listen to their expressions and behaviors for both their and my security. In your home, I will follow your pet's natural safe spaces to make sure that both of us have time and space to know each other better, which doesn't disrupt their normal routine, and keeps us both comfortable and safe. It is important for me to always listen to your pet's and your needs and concerns, more than just for safety, but also fun! This means I will need information on your pet and your rules, expectations, and specific treatment and care.
“Seth is a fantastic sitter who handles my difficult doodles with ease. He is extremely punctual, reliable and flexible. I trust him implicitly with my dogs.”
“Came on time to feed/walk our senior dog and sent alot of pictures while she was there!”
“Misa took care of our two cats and she was wonderful! She responded to my message quickly and we set up a meet and greet the same day. We will definitely ask Misa to take care of our cats and dogs the next time we are out of town!”
About: I have two rescues at home who I adore. I would love to spend my summer break caring for your beloved pups! I have a calm demeanor and I am open to all breed types. I am looking for a flexible schedule this summer while I work towards getting my driver's license. I am not taking any summer classes, so my availability is very open. In a client's home, I would give all my attention to your dog(s) and follow all given instructions for care. I am happy to walk, play with, feed, and give belly rubs to your good girl or boy. I am respectful of others' property and privacy.
“This is my 2nd time booking with Andrea and she was great as usual. She was on time, took great care of Moxxie, and sent lots of cute pictures!”
“Sarah has been fantastic with our anxious dog. Leo doesn't normally go up to anyone, even if they offer treats. Sarah seems to have won our dog's trust. She even bakes homemade dog treats to gain Leo’s trust and slowly and with lots of patience she is accomplishing the visits with Leo. We are greatly appreciative of all her work. I highly recommend Sarah as a pet sitter. Thank you Sarah!.”
“I think my dogs are more excited to see Tonya than they are to see me!”
“Willa is the best! She listened intently to our needs for our cats and did her absolute best taking care of them. I felt very secure leaving them in her care. She was flexible and didn’t mind helping with random tasks that popped up while we were gone. She has excellent communication skills and a true love for animals.”
“I cannot recommend Madilyn enough! My dog can be very nervous and anxious around new people, but she was incredibly patient and kind from the very beginning. She took the time to get to know my dog and build trust at a pace that made my dog feel comfortable. Her calm and caring approach made all the difference. I could tell that my dog was genuinely happy and well cared for during their time together. The entire experience was smooth, reassuring, and exceeded my expectations. I’m so grateful to have found someone who truly understands and respects animals. Thank you for your outstanding care!”
“William took great care of my senior cat, Honey. He had no issues giving her daily medicine and was very responsive when I asked how she was doing. Would definitely book again!”
“Amazing!! Thank you so much for helping ivy.”
“Reese was fantastic with our two cats while we were gone for a week on vacation. She was prompt on her arrival and sent pictures every day. When we got home, everything was clean, organized and our cats were happy. Will definitely book Reese again!”
“Abigail did a great job taking care of our sweet Minnie kitty and two guinea pigs while we were away for almost two weeks. She had never cared for guinea pigs before but I trusted that she would handle it well and she certainly did.”

“"Michelle(Mahdokht) was absolutely amazing with my cat, Greyscale! From the start, she was kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with feline care. Greyscale can be a bit particular, but Michelle took the time to understand his quirks and made him feel totally at ease. I got regular updates and adorable photos that showed just how relaxed and happy he was. It gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Michelle again—she’s a true cat whisperer!"”

Fairfax Station dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kim was responsive, friendly and great at giving updates on our pups! She spent time with them and communicated very well. We appreciated her flexibility and willingness to love on our pups!
Jing is our new pet sitter, and we've been very pleased with her. While we appreciated our previous pet sitter, every time we had to leave for personal reasons, it left us heartbroken because Leo, my fur baby, has a hard time adjusting to new people. However, Jing made an instant connection with him. She was very gentle and patient, allowing him to feel confident and comfortable. She truly is a very good pet sitter I would highly recommend.
Lena is honestly the best. When we went on a vacation and she took care of my pup she did everything she could to make him comfortable and happy, even when he got sick and had a few accidents in the house. She cleaned them up without question and even spent a little extra time with him hoping to offset his nerves some. Once you have lena take care of your pet you'll never go back.

What an incredible young man. Took care of my Colt like he was his own. Strongly recommend. Smart and capable.
I reached out to Forest at the last minute, and Forest was kind enough to accommodate us on such short notice. Forest is reliable, friendly, and did a great job taking care of our dog.
Sharon did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs. They can be a bit of a challenge, but Sharon was great with them. She provides excellent communication and lots of great pictures. We highly recommend Sharon for taking care of your dogs.
Great communication and my dogs are so excited to see Sheila! I know that the dogs are getting the potty breaks they need while I am at work.
Annabelle took amazing care of our dogs! She went above and beyond to make sure Louis and Opal got extra love. She also did a great job keeping us up-to-date with reliable check-in and status updates.
My boyz 🐾 were well cared for and completely at ease. They didn’t miss a beat while we were away! Huge thanks to Beth for the wonderful care and attention—knowing they were in such good hands gave us peace of mind.
Five stars not enough! Two weeks of service, didn't miss a day and the puppies were happy and healthy upon our return....Thanks Again!
Rachel is an incredible dog sitter/walker; she takes great care of our older Siberian husky and shares incredible stories about their conversations. She is also very proactive and communicative with any questions she has. We are very thankful for her!
We used Willa for over a week to care for our two dogs while we were out of the country, and she was great! She visited them three times a day, always sent updates and photos, and it was clear our pups were happy and well cared for. She’s a true animal lover, and we’re so thankful she made time in her schedule for such a long stay. We will definitely be using her again!
Regina was a lifesaver when we needed a dog sitter last minute for the holidays. She was quick to respond and made sure our dog was well taken care of. We would definitely recommend Regina to anyone in need of a reliable sitter. Thank you again!

Loved the photos and good communication too. She reached out promptly when issues arose. We were very pleased.
I will definitely use Grant’s services again! He was wonderful with my animals and very responsive to me. Thanks Grant!
"Absolutely fantastic service! Our dog sitter went above and beyond by stopping by our house midday to let our dogs outside. Not only did they make sure our pups got some fresh air, but they also spent a good 30 minutes sitting with them, giving them love and attention. It was such a comfort knowing our dogs were in such caring and reliable hands. Highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!" Will definitely contact her for future service.
