About: I’ve taken care of puppies and mid-aged dogs before. Your baby will be in great hands as I make sure to stick to a routine that allows proper exercise and care! Dog sitting will benefit both of us as I love dogs, but don’t have one of my own! I work part-time in a hybrid schedule, so I have a lot of free time. I am generally free all week except Tuesdays. I attend virtual meeting sporadically throughout the day, but I chunks of free time frequently! I have been around dogs my whole life and love spending time with them. I love going on walks and having a walking companion is a plus! I also give as many picture updates as you would like to make sure you’re confident in my care.
“Alison was spectacular! We had a meet up before we left and Jasper warmed up to her instantly. She communicated often and took lots of adorable photos. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Amazing as always! We went on a weekend trip without phone service and I did not even worry that the cats were getting wonderful treatment because Erin always takes perfect care of them!”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
About: Coupon Code for your first booking with Rover :-) (giangd59383) I’ve had the honor to grow up with dogs since I was 7. I currently live with and care for a senior 15-year old chihuahua mix and a gorgeous 2-year tabby cat. It’s been a beautiful journey to navigate life with an anxious dog and a curious feline family member. I’ve learned that patience, time, and compassion is key. I am excited for the opportunity to meet your pet and get to know them 🤗 I currently have the opportunity to take some time to think about what I want to do in the next chapter of my life! I have plenty of time on my hands to spend time with your dog and/or cat! I treat your pets and home with deep reverence and integrity. I have respect for all boundaries and unwavering patience that is necessary for you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable. Trust is important to me and is a key foundation for all of my relationships. Transparency & Communication are also part of my core values, I will not hesitate to let you know if anything comes up and am prepared to give you as many updates as requested.
“I can't recommend Zosha highly enough. I scheduled daily visits while we were on vacation for our cat Chloe to be given her medication and some love - and Zosha did such a great job at both! He went out of his way to give her plenty of affection and even treats on her puzzle toy. Everything was clean and left in great shape, Zosha was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures! Chloe is definitely a fan, and so are we. Thanks again, Zosha!”
“Yiting was very attentive and caring to my cat while I was away. She was communicative and professional, and made my cat feel well taken care of”
“Ashley is wonderful with our dog! She took great care of him while we were on vacation, leaving us at peace knowing he is safe with her drop in visits. He seems to miss her, as he is looking out the door to see if she is coming by. We will definitely use Ashley again!”
“Megan and Erin always take such good care of Beau and he loves them too! We know our pup is in great hands when they watch him or visit him! Would recommend to anyone! They also have a very sweet pup, Biscuit, who also gets along with our dog and is super friendly!”
About: Your Pet Deserves to Feel at Home 🐾❤️ ⭐ Proud Rover Star Sitter I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter, and I’m truly grateful for the trust families place in me. To me, caring for a dog means more than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. It means getting to know them, respecting their personality, and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶 Real Experience & A True Love for Dogs My experience with dogs began many years ago in Colombia, where I cared for my own three dogs: an energetic Pitbull and two Cocker Spaniels with very different personalities. They taught me something I believe is very important: every dog is unique. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and play, while others need calm, patience, and extra affection. Some are social from the very beginning, while others need a little time to feel comfortable and build trust. I take the time to understand each pet and follow their family’s instructions carefully. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they are in a safe and loving home. ❤️ 🏡 A Loving Home with Plenty of Companionship I work together with my husband, Carlos, which allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship and attention during their stay. We enjoy maintaining a calm routine and following each family’s instructions so their pet can settle in comfortably. Your dog won’t simply be “another pet” during their stay — they will be part of our family while they are with us. 🐾 🚗 Convenient Door-to-Door Pickup & Drop-Off To make things easier for you, I also offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off for daycare and boarding stays, depending on my service area. I understand that between work, family, and everyday responsibilities, taking your pet to and from daycare or boarding can be difficult. I want to make the process as convenient as possible for you. 📸 Communication You Can Count On I know that leaving your pet with someone else can sometimes be stressful. That’s why I believe communication is so important. During your pet’s stay, I’m happy to send you photos, videos, and updates, so you can see how your companion is doing and have peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I carefully follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, schedules, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. ❤️ My Commitment to You My goal isn’t simply to care for your dog for a few hours or a few days. I want you to come back and find your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The trust of every family means so much to me, and I’m proud to provide care based on love, responsibility, communication, and respect for every pet’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I enjoy having a consistent routine because it helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they are away from home. I also make sure to follow each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and medication schedule according to their owner’s instructions. I’m flexible and happy to communicate with pet parents about their pet’s specific routine and needs before their stay. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and companionship. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide the best possible care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, schedules, and any special needs. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they can adjust to our home at their own pace. During walks, I always prioritize safety and use appropriate precautions to keep each dog secure and under control. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can have peace of mind. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated with the same care and respect they would receive in their own home. 🐾❤️
“Phuong is simply the best ever!! She always goes above and beyond in taking care of our cat and we are so grateful to her! We are able to relax and enjoy our vacations, thanks to her outstanding care!”
“Pamela is the best!! She took such good care of our cats, and I'm pretty sure the house is cleaner now than when we left. :) She sent detailed updates and pictures, and took extra time to play with our cats and wash our their bowls every day. She even watered our flowers outside and sent pictures of those too! We will definitely use her again and give her our highest recommendation. Thanks!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falls Church
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Aliso and felt completely comfortable knowing our dog and cat were in such caring hands. She was attentive, dependable, and treated our dog and cat with genuine love and kindness. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Mitzi was communicative, warm, understanding, and took very good care of my baby, even taking her for walks when my girl showed she wanted it! When there were difficulties with getting into our apartment building, Mitzi went above and beyond to try to help me sort it out. I have total trust in Mitzi and will absolutely be reaching out in the future!
Amanda did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were gone for a few days! They were clearly very happy when we got home and she kept us posted with lots of cute pictures while we were gone. She even left them some treats and made sure their things were tidy on her last visit. We would 100% have her care for them again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone else, and everything went perfectly. He followed all our instructions, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Falls Church choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
