About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“Jodee and AJ are the best and take care of Winnie like she is part of their family. Pretty sure Winnie thinks their house is hers too. Can not recommend them enough!”

“Donna was very warm and caring towards our dog. She was very thoughtful in ensuring our dog felt comfortable and we really appreciated it. She was also fantastic in communicating with us! She clearly loves dogs and we highly recommend her!”

“Thank you again for having Wave! She always comes home so exhausted and happy. We love the updates throughout the day and will continue to recommend you to our friends! Thank you again :)”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

“My Luna 🐾 came home ready to be “mellow” and take a nap… that tells me she can’t wait to come back again! I am SO glad to have found you for future “outings” for Luna… Matthew & family, we will see you again soon. Thank you, Luna🐾 & Mary”

“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”

“Diana was a lifesaver for me and my puopy Ezra when I needed help on short notice. She communicated well and kept the process smooth. Most of all Ezra loved her from the start and was so haopy to see her each day. Definately reccimend!”

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”

About: I I’ve grown up caring for dogs—especially large breeds—and genuinely love spending time with them. I’d be thrilled to help care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse and work just three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home to provide attentive, reliable care. I am comfortable and experience in giving all types of medications as well and as a nurse I am very attentive to detail! I also have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy of my own, Nola, so I’m very familiar with the needs, energy, and personalities of bigger dogs. We spend a lot of time playing in our backyard aince it is fully fenced, front and back, and going on neighborhood walks, and I’d love to include your pup in the fun! We have a huge backyard that your pup can enjoy and a playmate as well! Look forward to taking care of your pups :) I am currently looking for something part-time to pick up and help out here and there when it is convenient in my current weekly schedule I am a very trustworthy and organized person. Being on time is key as well as being able to fulfill the tasks that is expected.
“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats and would prefer to only board other female cats to ensure harmony in the home. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.
“Ester and her husband were incredibly kind and reassuring when I left my little Rocco with them. They asked many important questions about his routine, toys, and personality which I greatly appreciated. When I came to pick up Rocco he seems content and relaxed and even continued his usual 17 hour slumber at home. I will definitely reach out in the near future!”

“Jen was a fantastic dog sitter!! She was super flexible with my schedule and was lovely about sending updates throughout the day. Thanks Jen!”

“Alexis and Doug were awesome! She was super prepared and detailed at first, making sure she understood all of our instructions and Kole's quirks. She was very communicative through the day by sending lots of pictures, and very flexible when our plans ran longer than expected. Kole was super happy and tired when we picked him up. 5 stars, definitely recommend!”

“Cynthia took fantastic care of Woody during his daycare visit. She took the time to learn his likes/dislikes and quirks so that he felt comfortable in a new place. And she managed to tire him out with fun and adventures with her and the other dogs.”

I was very fortunate to find Elizabeth at the last minute when I traveled to Alexandria to visit my son and family. Although I only needed her to watch Demi for several hours over the weekend, she quickly established a relationship with my sweet, traumatized dog and greatly eased my burden of having her watched when I had to attend some functions without her. I’m glad to know I can rely on her during future visits.
Yejin accommodated miley on short turnaround notice the evening prior to the stay. She took miley out on an outdoor adventure and gave her all the attention she needed. Pictures were provided at the end of the day care. I recommend Yejin to any rover clients in need of a sitter!
