About: ***I am independently insured through PetCare for greater peace of mind while you’re away*** ***Certified in cat and dog first aid*** I've recently gone through a career switch from caring for humans (I was a registered nurse) to caring for animals last year. However, I have loved and cared for several personal and friend’s pets, to include cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles, throughout my entire life. I hold a strong passion for advocating and caring for all beings with empathy, patience, and understanding. Since my career switch, I have experienced pets who need extra attention due to daily medications, reactivity, older age, anxiety, and helping to instill training (I am not a certified trainer) the clients are already teaching their pet(s) during my walks and/or pet sits. Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job now. Whether you need a midday walk or need someone to care for your pets while you escape on vacation, I’m available for either service throughout the week, weekend, and some holidays. While I do not provide care in my home, I do travel to your pets while you’re away. My approach to caring for animals is with a lot of patience and respect. I’m happy to take it slow for each animal that may be a bit timid at first. I have a lot of experience personally and professionally working with animals who are timid, reactive, etc. For new clients, I like to have a meet/greet to go over care instructions before the pet sitting/walking dates. This gives us the opportunity to ask questions and discuss further what you can expect while you’re away. My goal is to provide care the way your pet is used to. I send daily updates/pictures/video to give you the reassurance that your pet is being loved on just the way you would if you were there.
About: Hi, I’m Cortney! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for and walking my own pups. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I pride myself on being patient, dependable, and in tune with each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup’s into fast-paced walks, leisurely sniffing around the block, or just soaking up some extra love, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities and I treat every dog like my own! I’m currently a stay at home mom looking to take care of furry friends during the weekdays and weekends. I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I have a small fenced in backyard that’s suitable for a quick trip outside. Our neighborhood is full of trails and sidewalks where your pet will be walked several times per day (depending on their needs).
About: I used to work at Felix and Oscar so if you need any food recommendations, i’m your girl! I also have walked dogs for about 2 years as well as overnight care and drop ins. I just graduated from James Madison University and I am working a part time job so I am available to work mornings and afternoons as well! I have a 1 year old puppy and I take care of him as well as train him. We play, I give treats, and many walks! I also had a puppy throughout all my childhood and he lived to be 16 years old, so i have experience with senior dogs.
“Lenny is absolutely amazing! We just moved from overseas and I was worried my dogchild (he’s a senior) was going to have a problem bonding with a new sitter because he adored his last sitter. It’s safe to say he adores Lenny already and that’s such a relief. Lenny is such a great communicator and I love all the pictures taken daily. I couldn’t have picked a better person.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Seriously the best!! Asia went above and beyond for my cat, changing her water fountain and cleaning and changing her litter box for me, even taking out the trash with litter in it afterwards. She sent a bunch of pictures and took the best care of my girl. 10/10 recommend!!!”
“Jeana was so kind and communicative! I can tell that Lola absolutely loved her by the big smile on her face in every photo she took. I will definitely be requesting to book again. :)”
“Daisy goes above and beyond in her communication and care for your pets. I really appreciated her transparency during the visits, and she was very caring and attentive to my pets needs. I would easily book her again!”
“I came home to such a happy pup! Thank you so much for caring for him and my home🤍 Here’s to hoping you would be open to caring for Bubba again and he wasn’t too much lol! You’re amazing!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of our senior dogs is very anxious when we travel and has always struggled with boarding, often refusing to eat. Having him stay at home in his familiar environment with check ins with Macy made a huge difference! He was relaxed, happy, and eating well. We felt completely at ease while away and are so grateful for the care she provided.”
“Taylor has been absolutely wonderful! We booked her kind of last minute for weekly walks for our golden and she has been great. She is communicative, gives great updates and she’s flexible. We plan to continue using her services on a regular basis.”
“Wyatt took such amazing care of my sweet cat during the snow storm weekend. Very responsive and proactive even with snow in the forecast! Felt so rejected to know someone so caring was taking care of my fur baby!”
“Katrina was an excellent pet sitter while my family was away for the holidays. She was always very responsive to messages and provided detailed reports on how our cat was doing each day. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I am in experienced Trainer and groomer. All of our pets are rescue pets, except for my sons service dog, I often welcome Guest pets into my home to help local service members who are deploying. I look forward to welcoming your Pet into our home. We’re working family. A military family at that. My Husband is deployed. However, our house has a doggie door and I work close to home so that I can come home frequently to check on our guests and ensure that they are thriving We treat the pets in our home, like their Our pets. If one hand goes out to our dog, the other hand goes out to the guest dog to Pet them. When we go outside to play, everybody goes outside to play. We enjoy taking our guest pets outside for a romp in the yard. Sometimes we walk dogs together as a family. Sometimes I take them on my own. It’s a family affair.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs, breed, age, and attitude wise. I’ve been considered very reliable and efficient with the way I work with dogs. I have 3 of my own and I treat any other dog as if they were my own. This profile is for my 15 year old daughter, monitored by her parents. I recently moved from Fort Knox, Kentucky, relocated Fort Belvoir. This are a dual military family. My daughter is a high school student. During the summer she has full availability for pet sitting, walks, and drop ins throughout the day. During the school year she is available after school hours (after 3:30). She can also provide morning pr evening care depending on the booking. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow the routine instructions given by the owner. I make sure pets have all they need and all the affection they need. I keep the home clean, respect the space, and send regular updates to the owners so the know everything is going good.
“Romy was amazing with my 19yo minpin, Tex. She followed his involved routine and med needs. I received pictures and great updates also. It was so nice to be able to take a few days and not worry because he was on kind, gentle and experienced hands.”
About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of our senior dogs is very anxious when we travel and has always struggled with boarding, often refusing to eat.

This was my first time using Rover services, and I'd been anxious about it--a stranger in my house, looking after my pets? But I got a great feeling from Lisa the moment I met her, and she did a great job checking in on our dog while we were out for the day. She's communicative, compassionate, trustworthy, and responsible, and I'm so grateful we've connected!
Angela was amazing with Tofu. She spent plenty of time playing with Tofu and petting her. Normally, Tofu has a lot of anxiety meeting new people but she took right to Angela. Communication was clear and Angela arrived promptly at the scheduled time. Would 100% recommend her.
This is my third time utilizing Doreen’s services. She is the best. She took care of my cat and dog babies after having to schedule a last minute work trip. She is very responsive and highly attentive. She loves each furbaby like her own. She is the only person I trust with caring for my babies. She provides great updates every day. If you are thinking about using Doreen’s services.. just do it. You will not regret it.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Fort Belvoir 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fort Belvoir with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
