About: Hi! I have a genuine love for animals. I have a cat and dog of my own and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes—from teacups to Saint Bernard mixes—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets. I’m patient, caring, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently am not working outside of the home and am a full time student with a very flexible schedule and am able to help with pet care almost everyday! I am flexible in how I am able to care for your fur baby. I can play with them within your yard, if fenced in, as well as in your home after a walk outside!

“Corina was great! Really responsive and great to work with. She took great care of our dog Nina. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She took Nina out on several walks during the day and even worked on training her new tricks. My dog just loved her and I can tell she was well taken care of.”

About: I have been an animal person my whole life - and have a Bachelor’s of Science in Zoology to prove it! I have 3 years of professional experience in pet nutrition and have fur babies of my own. My late dog required monitored, elongated feedings, adapted walks, multiple doses of medication, and supplemental IV treatments during his end of life care. Prior to this he was super active and needed a lot of stimulation - I can do both! I have personally owned multiple cats and am comfortable administering medication for them too. I love interacting with animals and can cater to each pet’s individual needs at that immediate moment. Pet care is my full time job, so when you need me to be there I can be there! I try to update my schedule as often as possible to reflect my best times available. I am a morning person so I am happy doing drop ins with the sunrise! It is important to me that my home is safe, comfortable, and fun for your pet. I love to play games with dogs and cats and give them a lot of pets and rewards. I have one cat currently and he is given fresh water and has litter changes daily.

“Mary and Brian did an exceptional job of taking care of our Darla. They took the time to walk her and play with her and just fell in love with her. They are great people and worked with us and our crazy schedule during our stay in DC. Thank you again and we will be back and booking the two of you again.”

“Iuliia was an awesome sitter for our 8-month old goldendoodle, Lili! Not only did I feel like Lili was in great, caring hands with Iuliia, but Iuliia was great at communicating prior to our booking and scheduled meetup time. It was the first time Lili went with someone she didn't know, and I was a little worried how she would do separating, but she felt immediately comfortable with Iuliia and all was smooth start to finish. Iuliia provided photos of the day's events and followed the given care instructions to the T. Overall, working with Iuliia was a seamless experience from first contacting her here on Rover to her handing over Lili back to us. I would definitely work with her again and would recommend her to others.”

About: I’m a huge dog person and so happy when I get to meet a new pup. I’m familiar with dogs aged from puppy to senior and even know how to teach some of the basic tricks! I currently work remotely and have the perfect schedule to board and walk your pups. I am available during the week and weekends! I couldn’t ask for a better balance. I do live in an apartment, but it’s a dog friendly community. I have a 1 bedroom apartment which has proven to be a good size for small to medium size dogs. I take daily walks on my own, so having your pup with me would be an added bonus!

“Erin watched our dog Theo during the day when we all had to be out of our house. Erin was a wonderful host and very communicative! Theo had a great time playing with Erin’s dog and we were so happy that we booked another stay immediately! Highly recommend Erin!”

“Natalie was amazing! I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She took great care of my Franklin who has severe separation anxiety- he was calm and enjoyed his time!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for 4 years now (and am a happy Rover customer) and just started sitting dogs via Trusted Housesitters. I spent my childhood taking care of family members’ pets whenever I could! I’m home all day and am not working. My boyfriend works from home 3 days/week. We love visiting the many nearby dogparks or taking long walks on nearby trails. I have a friendly, medium sized hound named Jack (see the many pictures from his Rover walks!). I’m very attentive to animals’ needs (both attention and alone time) and love to see pets get lots of movement and love.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience, flexibility, and genuine love for dogs, which even inspired two friends to become dog lovers and get pets of their own! I work from home, allowing me to provide consistent attention and customized care. With a fenced dog park at my place and easy access to Shirlington Dog Park, I ensure every dog has a safe and engaging environment for play and exercise. Over the years, I’ve been a reliable and loving dog sitter for many friends, caring for their pets from a few hours to week-long stays. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of dogs, including my black and tan coonhound, an elderly greyhound, an energetic golden retriever, Pitbull Boxer and a big, bold Shar Pei-Rottweiler mix. My approach is shaped by my experience rehabilitating a once out-of-control rescue dog, who, with patience and love, became a wonderful companion and backpacking partner. Whether it’s managing high-energy dogs or providing a gentle hand to senior pets, I create a nurturing and fun environment where every dog feels truly at home. As an entrepreneur who works from home, I have the flexibility to build my schedule around pet care, ensuring your dog’s needs are a top priority. I’m highly responsible and reliable, with the ability to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. My home includes a fenced dog park, providing a secure area for playtime, and I also live near Shirlington Dog Park, perfect for extended outings and socialization with other dogs. I enjoy hiking and being active for dogs that might need more exercise. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, enjoyable environment, so you can feel confident that your dog is in great hands while you’re away. In my home, I ensure that each pet feels comfortable, safe, and engaged. I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, including visits to the fenced dog park at my place and longer outings at nearby Shirlington Dog Park. I follow each pet’s specific routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to any special care instructions. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s usual environment and routine, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to every detail, keeping the space clean, following any house rules, and providing consistent updates so owners can feel reassured. My goal in both settings is to offer a reliable, caring experience that pets enjoy and owners trust.
