Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Fairlington-Shirlington

“Laura is the real cat lady I was trying to find!! I had a bad experience using another Rover last time. She didn’t take any picture each visit and never filled up the water bowl for our cat. Our cat ended up with no water in the bowl for 2-3 days. So this time I decided to find a real cat lady to help while we were out for vocation. I was lucky to find Laura. She is very attentive to details, talked to my cat and gave her love to our cat. Our cat got a lot of social time. Thanks a lot!!! I will definitely book with Laura again!!!”

“Leo was remarkable! He was able to get my extremely shy girl to warm up to him. He left great notes and photos in the rover cards. I was so happy to have Leo taking care of my girl!”

About: Hi! I am an experienced dog walker coming from a professional pet care company. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid through PetTech. I would love to meet your furry friend and provide the exercise, playtime, and TLC that they deserve! I have my own dog, Buster, who I rescued from a shelter in 2015. I have experience with dogs in every age group (puppies, teenagers, adults, and geriatric) and customize my visits to suit their needs. I also have experience administering oral, ophthalmic, and topical medication. I have worked with dogs with all temperaments and will reinforce any of their previous training as needed. I have open availability during the weekdays and would love to take care of your fur baby while you are at work or out of town. I’ll stick to their routine as closely as possible to make sure they are comfortable. I would love to help make your life stress-free when you’re away! Whether your dog stays crated or loose in the house, I would ensure they are safely where they need to be when I leave. I’ll treat your home with respect and only go where I am needed in order to take care of your pup.

“Juliana was prompt and attentive. She took notes at our meet and greet and followed through on all responsibilities. We will definitely rebook her in the future!”

“Cindy took excellent care of our kitties and was so kind and understanding when I realized I had mixed up the dates requested. She took the time to get to know our cats names and they were in great hands with her!”

“Esther-Elizabeth did such a great job taking care of my three kitties over the holiday! I have one kitty who needs insulin and one who is shy and she treated them like her own! I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her as someone who thinks of my pets as family and wants to make sure they’re in good hands. I also felt her rate was very reasonable for the care she provided.”

About: I have experience caring for elder dogs with medical issues such as hearing loss, eyesight loss, seizures, and general elder issues. You can rest easy knowing I will take care of your dog as if they were my own! I'm available anytime any day! I can take your dog for a quick walk, a long adventure, or just hang out with them! I cater to the dogs needs, not my own. I will treat your dog as my own, giving them the love and respect they deserve. I also recognize it can be nerve-wracking to let a stranger into your house, I can assure you I will be respectful and follow all rules of your property. Do you have a strict no-shoe policy? No problem! Do you have a strict shoe-on policy? Also not a problem! I'm here for you and your fur-loved one!

“Susan has been kind, considerate, and a great help with Beans! I feel comfortable trusting her with my pups. We will definitely be using her services again :)”

“First time using Rover for pet drop ins but worked with Nicole (dog walking) before so I knew my kitties would be in good hands. And they absolutely were! Nicole was awesome and kept me abreast of everything. Plus my cats love her! Thanks so much Nicole!”

Kirsten B.

“Adina has been great to work with—easy going, a good communicator, and very much a cat fan. Our shy cat isn’t usually in the Rover photos because he’s hiding, but with Adina he feels safe to stay out & do his thing. He’s been in the photos this week, & that makes us happy that he’s happy!”

Mindy V.

“Ann was so great taking care of my cat while I was gone. She provided great photos and was very good with communication! I could tell she cared for my cat like she was one of her own.”

About: I love caring for my dogs! Growing up, we always had a family dog, so I’ve become very attached to fur babies. Currently, I have two adorable dogs that I adopted overseas and brought to the US because they are my forever babies! I would also love to take your fur buddies for a walk, play with them at the park, and care for them the same way I care for mine. I work late shifts, so I’m available to drop by in the mornings and usually in the evenings. I’m more flexible on weekends and can adjust to your needs as necessary. I recently moved into an apartment, so I don’t have a yard for my dogs to run around. Luckily, there’s a nearby dog park, and we go there almost every day as long as the weather permits. I make sure my dogs get the daily exercise they need, even when they don’t get to play at the park. A 30‑minute to one‑hour walk is never an issue for us! Unfortunately, I’m unable to care for your dogs in my home because my babies were traumatized by encounters with other dogs. On multiple occasions, they were approached by unleashed dogs while we were walking, and they’ve been very defensive ever since.

“Dani did great with my two cats! She was able to give them medicine and sent many pictures playing with them and giving them affection. She even gave them each a little toy for Christmas! Such a relief to know my cats were in good hands while I was gone - highly recommend Dani!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, & reptiles since I was born! I started pet care a couple years ago and strive to be a great sitter for your animals! I am currently a full time receptionist at a plastic surgeons office in DC. I am available weeknights for drop-ins and walks, and most weekends for overnight stays! I’m all about gaining trust from your pets so they can feel comfortable in their own space and under my care :) I work easily with routines, rules, and specific instructions!

“Kristen was a wonderful sitter! Her communication was thoughtful and prompt. Ruby and I highly recommend her and looking forward to seeing her again soon.”

“Kimberly was incredibly attentive and communicative when she came for drop-in visits with my dog while I was out of town. She is a professional and clearly cares for and is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. Will definitely book again!”
