“Joy and her family did a wonderful job taking care of my dog especially after accommodating me on several fronts — including a last minute request and a dog food delivery that never arrived. She was communicative and courteous and followed care instructions to the letter. She has a great backyard with a pool! Her kids are gentle and loving with pets. Would highly recommend and definitely book again!”


“Becky was wonderful with our dog(Roxie). Roxie spent two nights with Becky and her lovely dog. She communicated about how Roxie was adjusting and sent pictures. Roxie can be a little shy and anxious about certain things, Becky knew how to handle her and make her feel comfortable in her home.”

“Repeat customer because very pleased with the last stay. This time it was a last minute request. Maria was available and flexible with my schedule. Will continue to use her!”

“As always my pugs had a great time with Lindsey! She is incredibly patient with their idiosyncrasies and general wackiness! When I ask them if they want to go see ms. Lindsey they both get excited and spin in circles to get in the car!”

“Arranging for boarding, drop-off and pick. Up was very clear and simple. They were flexible when our drop-off time changed. Rebeca & Roman and her mom made the process very easy. A daily picture let us know that our boy was settled. When they noticed something concerning they reached out to us. Highly recommend.”

“Nani was fantastic from the meet and greet all the way to the end of my dog’s stay. She was very friendly and kept me informed with great pictures of my fur baby. I highly recommend her for services.”

“Victoria was absolutely amazing! Oliver came back so happy and relaxed. It was clear he had a wonderful time and bonded really well with everyone there—he even seemed to miss them afterward! Thank you so much, Victoria, for taking such great care of him. We truly appreciate it and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the care my 12-year-old baby Dharma received! Leaving an older dog behind is never easy, but from the moment we connected, I knew Dharma would be in loving hands. Mei was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly treated Dharma like part of the family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dharma came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands the needs of senior pups, Mei is the one. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”

“Mariel was fantastic. We knew our Minnie was in good hands. We received daily pictures and updates showing us how quickly Minnie settled in to her routine at their house. We knew she was being showered with love while we were away. Awesome experience! We would highly recommend Mariel as a pet sitter.”

“Christine took great care of Douglas! I loved the updates Christine provided throughout Douglas’s stay. Douglas was a happy camper when I picked him up. He barely wanted to leave. A good sign of a good weekend! Don’t hesitate to book with Christine. 😊”

“Hoa was great! My husband and I were away for three days, and Hoa took such a good care of our puppy! She also provided daily updates, sending multiple videos and pictures a few times a day :) thanks to Hoa, we were able to enjoy our trip, and our puppy Kringsley was very happy as well! We’ll definitely come back to Hoa when we are out of town.”

“Wyatt and Liz were awesome with our two Ridgebacks. They were easy to communicate with, reliable, responsive, shared pics, and we could tell our pups had a great time. We won't hesitate to book them again and it's so great to have such great sitters close by. Thank you again!!”

“My dog had an excellent stay with Rosario! She kept me posted constantly with photos of breaks and walks, and responded very quickly to my messages. I appreciate that my dog had a big space to run around in and another dog to keep him company during his stay.”

“Camille was really great with my pup (Cersei)! She sent photos and videos throughout the stay and I could really tell that Cersei was absolutely having the best time! Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for quality care and a happy pup when you’re away!”

“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.”


“We left our dog with Noelle for a trip over Spring Break and despite his crankiness and nervousness at first Noelle was able to win him over. She fed him, loved him, and found the best ways to give him his allergy meds. We will definitely use Noelle again in the future!”

Fairfax Station pet parents share their Rover experiences
My dog is in love with Serena (and she loves him back)! It is the most joyful setting you’ll ever find for your pet, because, like humans, pets need joy too! She takes her job as a sitter seriously, he will be cared for 24/7 and she really enjoys getting to know your pet. My dog loved all the attention. Bronx thanks you so much!!
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!
