“She was amazing! She came to help us out in a pinch, and I’m so grateful she was available. She was on time, followed all of my instructions, communicated really well, and kept me updated. She was super helpful and took great care of my dog. When I got home from work, he was happy and TIRED in the best way, so I know he got a great walk in! I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“My boy loves Heidi! She always goes above and beyond and you can tell from the pics what a good time they have. She is my go to sitter. Highly recommend!”

“I really appreciate how Nicole communicates with me about Sam's walks time, esp if the weather is rainy or very hot. She makes sure he gets his exercise and water while I'm away”

“Lindsay has done an amazing job with our little guy! She handles his high energy so well and makes sure to give our pup tons of love. Very thorough and great at communicating.”

“Patricia was fantastic with our dog Mackey. She kept us updated with pictures and told us about their walks. She is reliable, communicative, and obviously cares a lot about making sure our dog is happy and comfortable! We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Lucia has been walking my puppy and my senior dog almost every day for the past month or so and has been great. She is very communicative, providing photos and updates after every walk. She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”


About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and species. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats requiring extra patients, medication, and specialized care. I understand that every pet has a unique need, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. In addition to cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience, caring for reptiles, including maintaining proper habitat, control, modern touring temperature and humidity, feeding specialized diet, and following individual care routines. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, medication, or simply a calm and compassionate companion, I can provide dependable and attentive care tailored to their needs. I work remotely three days a week and my weekends are open. I can pop in between meetings to care for your pet and provide the attention that they deserve. My priority is maintaining their normal routine, so they feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while you are away. I follow each care, instructions closely, including feeding schedules, freshwater, medication, walk, exercise, playtime. I also make sure your home is treated with the same respect as your pets. Communication is very important to me, so I send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind that your pets are happy, healthy, and receiving the care that they deserve. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was two years old. I grew up on a farm with many cats, kittens, puppies, dogs, goats, chickens, bunnies. etc. I love ALL animals and strive to give them the best care while their parents are away! Anytime. Both my husband and I are always home throughout the day, as we have opposite schedules. Your babies will have eyes on them at all times and we can do drop ins whenever needed! I treat every animal as if they are my own. It's extremely important to take care of these babies with patience, care, love and attention!
“Simi is amazing. My pup loves her, she gives him a great walk twice a week. Simi communicates well and regularly, and even went above and beyond to clean his foot when my dog was bothering it. She is incredibly kind and compassionate, I highly recommend her.”

“Cindy is amazing! I loved how we had an introduction call the night before for logistics and my Coraline looked so happy on her walk with her new friend Bentley!”

“Daniel was great! He was super reliable, communicative, and made my dog comfortable. He prioritized good, long walks which was exactly what I asked for. Would have him back again!”

“Erin is reliable, caring, and took great care of Louie. Communication was great, and we appreciated the updates and photos. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Patrick has been a tremendous help with my dog’s midday walk. He is reliable, shows up even when it is raining, and gives me helpful updates so I know what has happened on the walk. Definitely recommend him.”

About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.
About: I am not just a sitter but a passionate pet enthusiast. With years of experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities, I take the time to gain their trust. Whether your cat or dog is playful, energetic or shy I am dedicated to providing a tailored experience that best suits them! I work a 9-to-5 job with WFH flexibility and week-to-week scheduling variability, making it easier for my walks, check-ins, visits with your pets! Ensuring the happiness and health of your beloved companions is my top priority. I will treat your pets like my own while in your home. I am familiar with emergency protocols and can handle any unexpected situations with calmness and urgency

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlington-Shirlington
Laura was wonderful with Hanna. She let me know when she was coming to pick her up, walked and took her to the dog park, and sent me pictures of Hanna living her best life. She also shows Hanna’s brother Rennie (a cat) some love when she picks Hanna up and refills their water bowl before she leaves. She has been a life saver!

Brogan was fantastic! We hired her to walk our dogs, Aiko and Luna, once a day while we were away on our honeymoon, to help my mom who was watching Aiko for us. She made the whole experience completely stress free. Communication was excellent. Anytime we reached out, she responded quickly, and she kept us updated without us having to ask. She was also proactive about planning around days with rain in the forecast, which we really appreciated. She was punctual every single time. Most importantly, both dogs loved her. As their walk time got closer, they would actually wait by the door for her to arrive. That tells you everything you need to know. I would 100% recommend Brogan and would absolutely book her again in the future. Book with Brogan with complete confidence!

Victor is very friendly and responsive. He walks my dog on a regular basis and often is gone longer than the scheduled 30 minutes. He also took the liberty of cleaning my dog’s crate when she made a mess in it, which I really appreciate, and he also provides my cats with some love too during his visit, which I know they enjoy!

Anyone would be lucky to have Karalynn as their dog walker!! My dog instantly loved her and this was due to Karalynn’s calmness! She listened to all of my dogs needs and gave her lots of love! I am so happy to have found her and can’t wait for her to keep walking my dog for years to come!
