“Joanne did an outstanding job saying with my dog Indigo! She was very dependable, kept me updated throughout my time away and gave Indigo excellent care. I highly recommend Joanne!”


“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Heather. After a few disappointing encounters with other sitters who didn’t even show up to meet our dog, Heather was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she show up as promised, but she immediately connected with our dog, treating him with genuine warmth and affection. While we were away, Heather cared for our pup as if he were her own—providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear he was in loving and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations.”

“Tara was very quick to respond and help us work out every detail for our first trip away from our 11 month old puppy, Bella. Tara’s daughter Emily had taken care of her on several occasions before, but we were still worried about our first longer trip away as she is very attached to us. Emily was extremely thoughtful about that, sending pictures and updates several times a day to put our minds at ease. She stayed in our home with Bella and not only took great care of her, following every detail of the lengthy list of care instructions I had provided, but also took great care of our home. Bella was in great spirits when we returned and our home was so neat and clean you would never have known anyone had been there while we were gone. I am so grateful for the very thoughtful care and professionalism from Tara and Emily and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for trustworthy, reliable, genuine care for their furry family members!”

About: Lifelong animal lover! Growing up surrounded by pets, I've always felt a deep connection with animals. I'm a proud pet parent to one playful puppy and three adorable cats. Caring for animals is my passion, and I'm excited to bring that love to every pet I meet through Rover! I'm free to care for your pets on weekdays, especially since I'm currently unemployed for the last month of summer before college starts in late August. Treating your pet like my own! Playing and giving lots of love to your animal. As well as taking care of them, however is needed.

About: Hi, I'm restarting my animal care business. I want to ensure a stimulated experience with a swift pace and consistent disciplined walking style of what I like to refer to as "nose to toes," where the dogs stay no further than my toe, to my sides, or behind me. I also have experience with aggressive dog behavior, so if a single walk is necessary, I can do that. I have been in the animal care business for as long as I can remember, and I know Fairlington very well since I grew up here. I now live in Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. I will be able to track my walks with a phone app that will track your dog's walking pace, distance traveled, and the route we take. I usually do pack walks of 3-5 dogs depending on size, but I can do singles if needed. I'm also able to cat-sit/dog-sit and care for exotics and birds (no insects). I'm flexible because I have my own cleaning/organizing/declutter business. I wake up however early dog might need be let out or pet given meds, and give at least 3 long 30min-hour walks depending on the energy level and few let outs throught the day if needed for young pups or older if bladder is sensitive. Plenty of loves and can work on training or stimulated play time with toys and puzzles. I will be professional and not have any guests over ever, and always keep doors locked when not there and if plants need care I can help with watering. I have 4 animals myself so it's pretty automatic to just add another pet cuz I've cared for multiple animals at a time or drop in visits when needed throughout my day. Whatever the fmaily requests for schedule when to feed, medicate(if needed), amount of walks and play time needed to make sure they're healthy and stimulated. Whenever they're ready for bed, crate if needed requested by parents, and make sure they go outside(dogs) to ensure no accidents throughout the night. I give them just as much love and attention and play as my own. And feed round same schedule unless instructed otherwise. Giving exercise and play time when needed. And kept to routine of crating if owners instruct.


“Day was truly a blessing! She took such great care of my senior dog Zeus and my home while I was away. I appreciated her communication and all of the photos she sent. So grateful I found her!”
