“Stephanie is everything you could hope for in a dog walker—she’s communicative, responsive, careful, dependable, and genuinely caring. You can truly tell she loves what she does, and it shows in how she treats the dogs in her care.”

About: *** I wanted to let everyone know that I’ve made the difficult decision to step away from dog sitting through Rover for the remainder of 2026 as I navigate some significant personal life changes. I deeply appreciate all of the support, trust, and loyalty from my clients and their beloved pets over the years. Thank you for everything. ❤️ *** Animals—especially dogs—are my passion! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting and grooming dogs, and have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and sizes in my home since I was very young. I have always been particularly passionate about caring for and working with dogs. I am the proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, who I enjoy training in behavior and agility. If you're in need of someone who is loving, patient and trustworthy to look after your dog(s), please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your beloved fur babies, and promise to love them like they’re my own while you’re away. *I have experience working as a dog groomer—I offer bathing services at an additional cost! Feel free to ask.* I currently work remotely full time, so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide attentive care to your dog(s). I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly Australian Shepherds to keep your dog company. Your dog will have as much supervised outside play time as they would like, and will have free roam of the main floor of my house at other times. If you prefer your pet to be crated at times, just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to accommodate. ***Note: to avoid stomach upset/any allergic reactions, dogs in my care will ONLY be given food and/or treats supplied and approved by their owner. Additionally, to help protect my family, home and other dogs in my care, I ask that owners please ensure their dogs are up to date with flea/tick/worm preventative. If parasites are found, a $100 cleaning fee will apply.***
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs on a farm, apartment, townhouse, etc. I have experience with many different personalities, energy levels, and breed needs I currently have two dogs of my own, a great pyrenees and a golden retriever. I’ve also worked at a veterinary clinic as a vet tech, gaining additional experiences with animal care, health needs, and proper handling. I beleive no dog should be judged by their breed or put under a general label. I focus on their body language and individual personalities, while still addressing breed needs. I currently am working 32-40 hours a week that gives me a certain level of flexibility to match your schedule. I receive my schedule every Saturday, two weeks posted at a time. I will give full transparency if there are any schedule conflicts. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, they’re your family! My goal is to always make sure both you and your pet few safe, supported, and at ease while you’re away. I do my best to follow your pet’s routing exactly the way you do at home, adjusting to whatever care instructions you prefer. I am also more than happy to provide updates as often as you’d life, whether that’s daily or hourly check-ins, photos, or videos so you can see how your pet is doing. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, health, and surroundings, making sure they’re safe and comfortable both inside the home and in outdoor spaces. I keep information on local vets and emergency clinics on my phone. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own!

“Ronda was great and went above and beyond. We needed to book last minute, and she did a meet and greet the same day. Ronda was thorough which put our minds at ease that our baby was well looked after.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10.

I have a friendly Pitbull to keep your fur baby company and a crate in case it is needed for your friendly caring loved animal
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
About: I have 7 years experience as a veterinary technician and many more just in general. I have a bachelor’s degree in pre-veterinary biology along with many animal internship experiences.

I am also able to keep small and exotic animals. Please only reach out if you are a serious inquiry.

About: I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 1+ days at a time for about 11 years. I treat every home with respect and all pets as my own. I love bonding with and meeting new animals! Each family I've sat for has called me back to sit for them again! Additionally, I have met many new doggos when babysitting in new family's homes. I always treat the pets just as well as the kiddos, giving them lots of love and behind the ear scratches. My family has always had dogs and I've loved dogs of all breeds since I was a little girl. I am a full time speech-language pathologist during the school year, but have flexibility in my schedule and I’m working from home half of the week. I am available for am/pm/afternoon drop in/walk visits and some weekends depending on location and dates. In your home I am comfortable and confident in my abilities taking your dogs out for walks on leashes, or leaving them out in the backyard to get some movement. I can stay and play for a while as needed to give them attention. I have a loving pit-mix at home. If our dogs got along we could potentially plan on having your pet come stay with us for a week/weekend! Additionally, we do have enough space (2 level home), a crate, and a fenced in yard so we can accommodate having another dog who does not get along with other dogs.
About: I am owned by my Australian Shepherd mix Luke, Flat Coat Retreiver Mack, chihuahua mix Dover and Jack Russel Dallas and I am here to put your mind at ease while you go on vacation or out of town for a business trip! I also have extensive experience with the feline variety. I am an EMT-B for humans, but I have also taken training classes in dog/cat CPR and Heimlich. Not that we will need it. I have experience in administering medication by mouth, IM injections and testing blood glucose. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I would prefer to stay in your home so that the fur kid will be more comfortable and maybe it will help with any separation anxiety. I do not mind bringing in the mail or any other task that may be similar.

I care about animals and take care of the pets I sit as if they were my own. I love animals, especially dogs! I have had dogs all my life. My father and brothers were dog breeders. I grew up with 14 dogs at home (ranch/farm), cows, horses, chickens, bees, bunnies, chicks, roosters, and lots of dogs. I have the privilege of being Kahlúa, Bailey and Brandy’s “hooman”! They are part of the family and travel with us everywhere. They are well cared for, well fed, groomed, exercised, socialized and constantly stimulated with dog obedience training. Kahlúa is a "Therapy Dog" for Fairfax County Pets on Wheels (local nursing home). I look forward to spending time with your four legged babies! Thank you for taking the time to read "About Me".

I will always call for questions and not assume something on your property. I'm fine with taking videos and pictures
Fairview Acres dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katie has been absolutely amazing with Cas, he’s a bit of a tough cookie requiring lots of patience due to him being older and partially deaf/blind. Me being chronically ill and working with long commutes, Katie has been a lifesaver and accommodated last minute requests! Highly recommend.
