About: Lisa and I work from home, so we will take care of your pup with the same love and care we treat our own Blue Caring for our dog is like taking care of our own, love and attention throughout the entire day, play, walks, the same way will care for your fur baby. Your dog will feel right at home here. We have a spacious house with plenty of room to roam, including a few quiet rooms perfect for naps or solo time if your pup prefers their own space. Our backyard is fully fenced, so there’s room to play safely outside. We live with our sweet 7-year-old dog, Blue, who’s friendly and calm with other dogs. My partner Lisa and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone—we’re around all day for walks, playtime, and cuddles. We know how important it is for dogs to feel safe, loved, and part of the pack while you’re away, and that’s exactly what we aim to provide.

“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”

“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”

About: Since I was a kid I have been surrounded by animals: cats, dogs, parrots, turtles, hamsters… I have lots of experience with many animals and find joy in caring for them. I moved to DC recently and I truly miss having pets. I’m hoping Rover will help me to spend some time with little cuties. Moreover, I work remotely and I love to be outside, my schedule is flexible. I am available weekday mornings, evenings, short periods during the day and weekends. I love to spend time playing with and getting to know new pets. I am reliable and will feed, walk, clean up and look after your family members. I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, and birds so my experience is extensive. I am able to adjust to your needs whether they involve endless zoomies or midday naps.

“Zeeba enjoyed her time with Sarah. Zeeba took some initial minutes to get use to Sarah’s dog, but once I left, Zeeba was in great hands. I would book her again.”

“Luna (15 week lab) loved all the attention she received by Miryam and her family. She was well taken care of for the day (meals, walks, Love)… Miryam kept in touch with plenty of photos which allowed me to not worry and enjoy my event.❤️ I would definitely use Miryam and her service when needed. Luna & I say Thank You Miryam❣️”

“Iuliia was an awesome sitter for our 8-month old goldendoodle, Lili! Not only did I feel like Lili was in great, caring hands with Iuliia, but Iuliia was great at communicating prior to our booking and scheduled meetup time. It was the first time Lili went with someone she didn't know, and I was a little worried how she would do separating, but she felt immediately comfortable with Iuliia and all was smooth start to finish. Iuliia provided photos of the day's events and followed the given care instructions to the T. Overall, working with Iuliia was a seamless experience from first contacting her here on Rover to her handing over Lili back to us. I would definitely work with her again and would recommend her to others.”

“Simone was super communicative and easy to work with! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so painless for me! She took pictures and videos of my dog, and when I was running late for pick up she was happy to accommodate me. Will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I've taken care of several dogs of various personalities and ages, and I'm a former pet owner (of a cat) myself. I enjoy taking care of animals and making owners reassured that their pets are A-OK. I have taken a buyout offer (deferred resignation) from my federal agency, so I am not currently working and have a very flexible schedule that allows for pet-sitting. I live in a dog-friendly condominium community. My condo unit is up a single flight of stairs from the building entrance making it easy to hop out for walks around my community. There is a very popular dog park along a stream (Four Mile Run) within about a 10-minute walk. There is also a woodsy park with a walking/biking trail across the street. Within my condo unit, I have space for a crate if needed. My condo unit also has a balcony overlooking a tranquil courtyard area with birds and squirrels to look at.

“Belle had a great day with Diana! Belle was happy & tired when I picked her up. Will definitely book again!”

About: I am deeply committed to providing the best possible care for pets under my watch. This means not only fulfilling their basic needs like feeding and exercise but also ensuring they feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. In summary, my combination of experience, specialized skills in training puppies and caring for senior pets, dedication to high-quality care, and strong focus on client satisfaction makes me a standout choice as a pet sitter. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a priority for me, as it requires consistency and attention to detail to ensure the well-being of the pets under my care. Here’s how I typically integrate pet care into my schedule: Daily Routine Morning Routine: I start my day by feeding the pets and providing fresh water. This is followed by morning exercise or playtime, tailored to the pet's needs and energy levels. Midday Check-ins: If needed, especially for puppies or senior pets, I schedule midday visits to provide bathroom breaks, meals, medication if required, and some companionship or playtime. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage the pets in activities that stimulate them mentally and physically, such as training sessions, interactive play, or walks. Evening Routine: I ensure pets have their evening meal on time and another round of exercise or play to wind down their day. For senior pets, this may include gentle activities to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Bedtime Routine: Before bedtime, I make sure pets are settled, comfortable, and have everything they need for a good night's rest. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that meets their physical, emotional, and social needs. Here’s how I ensure a high standard of care: 1. Safety and Comfort 2. Daily Routine 3. Socialization and Interaction 4. Health and Hygiene 5. Communication with Owners 6. Emergency Preparedness

About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and I am available Monday-Friday after 4pm and anytime during the weekends to take care of your dogs and to give them the attention they need when you are away! Since I will be responsible for checking on your pets, I will make sure that their necessities are being met. I promise your dog will receive the love and attention it deserves.

About: I'm a single woman living in the Arlington area, eager to meet, play with, and care for your beloved pet. I have years of experience of caring for pets--both mine and others'. Most of my experience is pet-sitting in their home, but I am excited to branch out to walks, play dates, and caring for your pet in my own home. I have owned and cared for pups ranging from the small (shih tzu) and highly active (terrier mix) to larger breeds, like German shepherds and labradors. I recently lost both of my senior pets after many happy years, so I am eager to spend time with your babies and give them lots of love. I recently returned to the US after a couple of years abroad and am consulting from home. This means I have a ton of flexibility and can spend as much time as needed walking and playing with your pets. I would love to give high quality, attentive care to your precious pets, in your home or mine! I recently moved back to the United States and am currently consulting from home. That means I have a very flexible schedule and am available to provide care for your animals on their schedule. I can take them on walks during the day and am available to stay at your house while you're on vacation if you prefer for your pets to be cared for in their own home. I live in a condo but have a lovely garden area for walks and am in a residential area. I am happy to care for your pets in my house or in yours, wherever they will be the most comfortable.

About: I am 29 years old and am currently on Paid Leave/Not Working full time, so I’m back on Rover for the time being! I was born and raised around pets of all kinds in my household. From Great Danes to German shepherds to miniature poodles, I’ve cared for many furry friends (even birds, snakes, and goats!). Growing up, I always had three dogs at once as well as cats. I learned to handle and care for them at a young age and enjoy continuing this experience today. I have been professionally pet sitting for 3 years now. I have a lot of energy, so I am able to go on long walks or runs for any dog to get the daily exercise they need! Cats can be a little more independent, but it’s still important to establish a friendly presence around them so they don’t feel alone. I look forward to meeting and caring for any pet in need! A few times a week, I provide walks and meals for dogs of my friends’ who are required to work in an office and cannot make time to tend to these daily needs. I have a flexible schedule and work remotely, so I have ample time to look after animals. When pet sitting, I make sure to give attention to pets essentially at all times. I have experience staying on a schedule and feeding animals at appropriate times. I also enjoy making runs to pet stores to get treats and toys to surprise the dogs. Depending on the age and size, I walk the dog 2-5 times per day and have some play time as well.
