“Rachel T was amazing! Took real good care of my dog! Quality visits with love, playing, feeding, and even grooming! Will definitely use her again!! Thank you Rachel!”
About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days! Contact me and we can work something out:) I am an experienced pet owner, and I am happy to provide all the basics like, cleaning cages/litter boxes, food/water bowls, refreshing water and feeding, taking on walks, and playing with the your pet, and of COURSE providing lots of love and attention😸!
“Kristin took care of my cat so well and I think my cat really liked her coming too! ? She always went to my place on time, and seems like she had a fair amount of time with my cat. I appreciate her help and I’m willing to choose her again for my cat!”
“Katie is amazing! Super friendly and great with animals. She took care of my cat and bunny we couldn't be happier. My furry little dears loved when she came round and especially enjoyed the extra pets and play time she would have with them! When I need someone to watch my pets again I will definitely go with Katie.”
“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.”
“Michelle was great! Posted notes and pics with every visit. Genuinely loves dogs. Friendly and positive interactions with her for key transfer and going over needs. Has husband as backup so all visits covered on time. Would definitely recommend.”
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.
“I was confident that our boy was in good hands with Steph! Loved seeing all the photos from each day, especially the ones of him getting some nice play time in. He was his happy normal self when we returned, and anything that was out of the ordinary was communicated to me prior to us returning. Thanks Steph!”
“We had a great experience with Kimberly! Communication was simple and easy & she was flexible with last minute schedule changes. My pups were happy and well cared for when we got home. We’ll definitely book again!”
About: I have petsat for family and friends for the past 4 years. I have experience with senior pets and taking care of medication and exercise, managed multiple dogs while house sitting for multiple weeks, and taken up requests from families I have not met the day before and petsit late night for multiple pets with different needs. I am currently working freelance and on my own schedule so I am available almost all days of the week since I adjust my own hours. I have no problem with taking pets on walks or trips to get their energy out. I have experience with crates, and helping less mobile dogs when needed.

About: I live on post at Fort Belvoir- yes base access. Hello friends! My name is Breanna and I have been working with dogs for 6 years. In 2018, fresh out of high school and not looking to work in fast food, I decided to take my love for dogs and turn it into a job. With a regular client base of 10, and 30 something here-and-there's, I was the top-dog in my small town. I could go into any pet related establishment and they'd know my name and what I offered. All of my business was from word of mouth. When I discovered Rover, I joined a bigger community of animal lovers. In 2022, I moved away from Rover to work in the doggy daycare business. After a PCS across the country here to Northern Virginia, I am now the manager at a different doggy daycare. The biggest thing I have noticed working in commercial pet care, is that not every dog needs a $50 trip to daycare. A lot of dogs I see are stressed out in the new environment, or taking the most expensive 6 hour nap. My goal is to be the person that comes along and gives you a personalized experience cultivated to your pets specific needs, and give your wallet a break as well. To offer a service that leaves you with a smile and your pup a wagging tail. I have experience with any breed you can think of, alongside basic medical care and dog training. I'm a jack-russell of all trades. I currently work 6:30-3pm most days, and my calendar will be accurately and timely updated. As mentioned, I do work full time. I also have three german shepherds at home that require a good amount of my attention. I do not offer boarding or pet sitting because of this. I request that you send me a text or leave a sheet of all your dogs do's & don't's. I have handled all types of behavioral issues, but I cannot accept any dog with aggression to people. I am well versed in dog body language and animal restraint, but I can't do that if your dog tries to go after me.
About: I’ve had and loved pets my entire life! (I was convinced I was going to be a vet until I realized I would very likely sob every time a pet got sick.) From my black lab, Raven, to my cats Lily and Langston, to now, my long-haired chihuahua, Midge, animals are just a part of the day-to-day! Since age 12, I’ve been petsitting for friends, family, and neighbors (including overnight stays) and cared for dogs who are super energetic, playful, and independent to dogs who experience some anxiety and might need a bit more attention❤️! I also have experience caring for a bit older doggos. My black lab, Raven, lived to 16 and as her mobility and needs changed, I changed with her and it really taught me to be very attentive, gentle, and adaptive to a pets needs. I’m comfortable and experienced with walking, feeding, brushing, playtime, litter boxes, and loving and attention when pets want or need it❤️! So whether your pet is super energetic and playful or just wants a calm, reassuring companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and energy and make them feel loved and at home☺️🐾! I’m a rising junior at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, working part-time as a server in the Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley area. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with your pets, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever else your pet might need😊! Mainly, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays! I make sure to stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise (or just hang out if that’s more their style!) I don’t usually host pets in my home, but I’m super flexible and want to make sure your pet feels happy and loved, and I’ll always make sure to send updates and pics📸🫶!
About: I’m a full time flight attendant who only works 3 days out of the week. I owned 2 cats and 1 jackson terrier, but they have crossed the rainbow bridge. I love being active, so I do love when they are playful and have tons of energy. No worries when I’m sitting or walking your pet- I am loving and calm and I know what to do in stressful situations. I believe pets are the best companions anyone can have especially when you build a bond with them! This fits right into my schedule as I’m pretty open many hours of the day + I don’t have extreme responsibilities to attend to on a day to day basis. I’ll make sure to follow each direction listed for and make sure I understand each pet before I take on a a sitting job. Please let me know anything I need to know before hand. Communication is important!
“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.”
“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!”
Fort Belvoir dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
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.
