She is so kind and caring. She sent me daily pics and updates, which calmed my nerves. I will definitely be using her again for doggy daycare and short vacations.”

Will DEFINITELY be using there awesome services again!”

Our dog certainly ate something wrong during his stay and felt sick, Sush gave us details and information very often during her sickness and ask for news even after. We should told her in advance that our dog doesn't have to eat anything else then her food.She also gave us some vet around us if needed. We thank you Sush and Aby her son for taking care of our Dachshund Gaia. We recommend her as our dog could not be alone at any time she stays at home with her. Thanks”

Fairlington-Shirlington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our Bernard had a great stay with Emily and her family - they have a wonderful fenced backyard for him to explore and he got frequent walks. Emily was very accommodating when our plane was cancelled and she had to keep Bernard for two extra days. We would highly recommend Emily!
I highly recommend Karen! My dog Minnie stayed at Karen's great place recently for 5 nights. I was a little nervous. I recently lost my other (older) dog so this was Minnie's first time boarding alone. I had no need to be worried. Karen gave her tons of walks, playtime & love. Minnie had a great time. I couldn't have been happier.
Amazing sitter! Becky was extremely attentive and provided regular updates. She is very gracious especially when our dog had an accident inside. We absolutely trust Becky with our pup. If you’re looking for a reliable and response sitter, look no further! You’ve found the best one.
This was our second time booking with Eva, and she is very clearly Sienna's favorite sitter.. Sienna also loved Eva's dog, Rey, which is unusual for her because she typically prefers adult humans. Rey was an excellent hostess. We will continue booking with Eva for as long as she is pet sitting!
Our dogs could not have been happier bunking with Austin and Sydney! Austin is organized and thorough, he asks great questions so he can provide the best care for your dog while you're away. First time on Rover, great experience! We will be using Austin again, and our dogs can't wait to play with Sydney again.
Daniel did such an amazing job with our dog Scotch. He was so friendly when we went for a meet and greet, and the home was perfect for her. Daniel sent so many pictures and updates on the daily, which is something we have not gotten from any sitter. He was able to relieve all the tension of us leaving our dog elsewhere while we were away. He took all of our normal expectations for a dog sitter and exceeded them. She was constantly watched over, played with, fed on time, and walked multiple times a day. It would be difficult not to book Daniel again, which is why we will always go to him first! Anyone who chooses Daniel as his sister will understand why he does such a great job. On top of all that, the pictures that he sent were wonderful. Especially because it was of both our dog Scotch and his dog Frito. We are absolutely booking him again in the future. Thank you again!
Fantastic sitters! We were gone for a long weekend and never had to wonder what our dog was up to because Jack and Julie sent us plenty of photo updates. The pictures showed that she was happy in a clean and quiet house with a yard. We’d very happily leave Z with Jack and Julie again.
Jordan and his family took great care of our active 3 year old lab for 3 nights. Communication with Jordan before and during her stay was great. We got lots of pictures. Our pup was happy and clearly well cared for at Jordan's - we'll definitely be reaching out to him when we need some overnight pup help again!
Angela is AMAZING! She watched Kali for an extended weekend while I was out of town, and was able to adjust to multiple last minute changes due to issues with my flights and work schedule changes. She even let Kali stay an extra night when I found out I wouldn’t be getting home until much later than expected! Angela was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, and she sent lots of photos of Kali during her stay!
Nicole was great with our dog Shira, Shira felt right at home. Nicole kept me informed and sent me daily pictures of Shira lounging on the sofa, bed, being the spoiled princess that she is. Nicole also took care of my cat, and we will be using her again. Highly recommended.
