“Asked Ann to walk our dog two times now, she’s diligent and dependable. Provides a lot of details about the walk, and is very observant about how our dog was feeling.”

“Laura was so amazing with our 2 cats! she made us feel so comfortable leaving them at home for our wedding week! She fed them wet food, gave them fresh air on our balcony, scooped the litter, played wit them and sent great photos! we could not be happier and neither could our cats! would definitely recommend and we will certainly be rebooking :)”

“Daniel has been an awesome drop in sitter. Extremely reliable and a great communicator. I am happy to have his services for the duration of my stay in NOVA!”

“Emily is a PHENOMENAL cat sitter! I cannot recommend her services enough! Great price point and super flexible with availability. I used Rover for the first time recently and during Emily's 1-hour visit with my cat, she provided ample photos of him as well as thorough notes on her visit (including notes on things he knocked over, his affect, ensuring his Litter Robot was working, etc.). During my time away, my cat had thrown up over a night that a friend checked in on and I reached out to Emily immediately to see if she could squeeze in a last-minute 30-minute visit the following day. She was (once again) thorough with her notes and photos. If you're an anxious pet owner, Emily is the right sitter for you. I plan on reaching out to Emily for her services next time my cat has to be home alone!”

“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!”

“Nicole is amazing! She is communicative and sent updates on how my 2 boys were doing and asked questions if she wasn’t sure. I would 100% use use her again and recommend her for your pet sitting need.”

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.
“Juliana was the perfect dog sitter to watch our boys! She visited beforehand to make sure she knew how to take care of and walk them, and diligently recorded everything about the walks and feedings and sent a message on how it went and a photo. Would book again!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Ever since I can remember there have always been pets and animals in and around my family. My family had dogs and cats growing up, I've also had fish, turtles, and geckos. I have some experience (not certified) in dog training, as I trained my current dog with my brother. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, having grown up around larger breeds. I currently work in the evenings, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays. This leaves me free in the mornings and afternoons to walk and take care of pets. I make sure I have all the information I need about whoever I'm looking after. I ask for the owner's preferences with types of walks, length, play, treats, etc. I report any potential issues with the pets to the owners.
“Esther-Elizabeth is great person to take care of your furry babies! She is great when it comes to communication and she is always makes sure your pets get the best care! I have been booking her visits many times and will continue to do so!”


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!
“Dani was so amazing and took great care of our cats😸 We recommend her services to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to detail for their pets. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we need someone!”

“Kristen was great! My dogs loved her when they met her and she was wonderful with them. The visits were on time as requested and very thorough. Will definitely be requesting her for dog visits again!!”
“Sam is a great cat sitter--very patient and respectful of the shy cats so they have the best chance of feeling safe to come out and be friendly. Sam is also is also responsive and kind in communicating.”

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!

“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”

“Erin did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat! She even stopped by to meet my cat before the scheduled visit to make sure it was a good fit. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth dropped in to check in on our 2 cats. Excellent communication, lots of pictures and updates during the visit. Overall a great experience.”

Olivia is awesome! She took amazing care of our dog Gracie who can be standoffish at first, but was comfortable with Olivia nearly immediately. Olivia is thorough, asking all the right questions to get to know your pup and I would recommend her to anyone. She even has experience with reactive dogs and interpreting dog body language which is a HUGE plus for any dog, reactive or not. We will absolutely be booking with Olivia again and are so happy we found her!

I had the pleasure of re-booking Daisy to watch my cat for another weekend. She was wonderful in providing timely updates and in dealing with some of the mischief my cat got into while we were gone. I am so grateful for her kindness in caring for our new cat and flexibility. Thank you Daisy!

Emili did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitty. She was super easy to communicate with and was as kind as can be. I felt very reassured leaving my pet with her as she shared lots of pictures and updates during her visits. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area!

Laci was amazing! She took care of our two dogs over the 4th of July weekend on very short notice, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy the entire time. We would absolutely book with Laci again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!

We were so excited to find Erin last minute to watch our kitty after our regular sitter wasn't available. She was responsive, made time for an advance phone chat, and sent lots of notes and photos, which we love! Will definitely reach back out to her if we are out of town again!
