“Great dog walk! After a good meet and great, felt very comfortable with Kim, she gave us a great run down. Will definitely have her walk our guy again!”


“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”


“Great job, my pup came back all smiles.”


About: I’ve been caring for/living with dogs since my teens! Always joke with my friends (who agree) saying that I was probably a dog in every life but this one! Your family member is in good hands with me 😊 I work mostly early hours at my full time job, and am available most late afternoons. Pet care is not just work for me, I love animals. Caring for your family member is not just a job, but a genuine passion. *I am able to house/pet sit overnight on Fridays beginning at 5pm. Unfortunately the calendar won’t allow me to adjust individual hours during the day.* I live close to trails and parks in Fairfax! No pets allowed in my apartment currently. But I can care for your pet in your home or follow instructions on what you’d like to do!


“Absolutely wonderful person. Dogs love her. Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve had family dogs for my entire life! I currently own a sweetest dog named Rocky! Everyday I feel like I get to attached with them more than I do with people! Love taking them out on a walk, dog park, or wherever they want me to take them! I have a summer break until like beginning of September! Would rather have weekends to myself until 2-4pm! If you need me during weekends we could definitely make it work! I live in an apartment so it would be better if your fur babies want to stay at their homes! I can do whatever works the best for them!


“Linda was very kind and gentle with Chase. I will diffently use her again. Thanks for your services.”



About: I used to raise a pug of my own since he was born. He lived until ten and half years old and passed away in 2023 due to hemangiosarcoma. He had it growing slowly over time for few years until the end. There is not much treatments to it which was frustrating and heartbreaking. But he had lived his best life and actually lived his life to the fullest with his silly, wild, and stubborn personalty along with his three legs. He will always be my half and in my heart forever. I am sorely missing him forever. He had been taken care of with plenty of food, love, attention and toys! He met so many people, other dogs including cats! He traveled to many places because he loved to explore! His favorite thing to do is sniff every plant in the nature and mark on them! He is fond over stuffed toys. I take him to vet regularly as necessary to keep tracking on his good health. I also has a lot of experiences with medium to large size dogs before such as black lab, German sheperd, and pit bull. I believe that dogs should be treated as family members with care/love and they are so much alike us emotionally. After all, I am a crazy animal lover and love the compassion/company from furkids. I have plenty of treats and toys for your loved furkid to play with! I love to walk the dogs through the nature trail, too. You are more than welcome to contact me about my dog/cat sitting service! Available almost 24/7. I currently work four overnight shifts a week, but I do sleep five to 8 hours and often woke up to do errands around the house to take care of everything. So, I am mostly available at all times for anything except sleep hours. I tend to sleep at 8am to 2pm or 3pm, but after I woke up, I always check to feed, refill fresh water, and take the pets to restroom and check around the house. My place is near to some parks with long trails which is great for dogs who enjoy the walk! My place have a large space in the neat wooden floor basement (first floor) which will be a great play pen! The basement have the light windows and doors to the backyard! We also have large living room with big couch which our pets love to jump around and play! As for cats, I have a large bedroom which is quiet with door locked at all times. I often access to my bedroom everyday. My cat is currently loving his cozy life in my bedroom with everything of what he have including his own famous cat tree!

About: I got my first dog Roxie at 8 years old. My mom made me a big part of her training and I assumed full responsibility after a few months. Summer 2021, I adopted a dog for myself and it’s been a blast! I have experience handling surgery recovery and medication administration. Douglas and I would love to have some more company over the summer! I work part-time at Lasertron which is only open Thursday-Sunday and though my schedule isn’t the same every weekend I know my shifts are 6-9 hours long. The other days I will be at home with Douglas doing summer classwork and hanging out, and I may volunteer once a week at the hospital though the day has not been set for that yet. I have a 1 y/o 11lbs Yorkiepoo named Douglas living here with me who loves other dogs of all sizes and is extremely tolerant of cats. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but there’s a small dog park and sidewalks throughout the whole neighborhood. Doug generally alerts when he needs to use the restroom and grazes on food, but if there’s a bathroom and food schedule you’d like just let me know.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love being around them. I’ve walked and cared for neighbors’ dogs for years and even volunteered at the SPCA throughout middle and high school, where I got experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m calm, patient, and attentive—especially with puppies who need a little extra guidance and senior dogs who need extra care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort and happiness. I’m available all day, every day for pet care and super flexible with scheduling. Starting in July, I’ll be available part-time—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends—so I can still dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for! I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets—whether in my home or at a client’s. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and make sure each walk or visit is tailored to the dog’s needs and energy level. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I also have my own transportation, so I’m able to drive to homes to let dogs out, take them for walks, and spend time playing or just keeping them company.

“Heather is the perfect dog walker for Winnie!”


“Jenna is wonderful with my shy pup Finn. He warmed up to her very quickly and she does a wonderful job taking him out daily. She’s very reliable and flexible with my crazy schedule. 100% would recommend!”


About: I love pups .. yours and mine! My friends call me the dog whisperer 😊. I’ve had pups for many years .. large and small breeds. I’ve cared for, and love, a sick German Shepherd .. when many others would have given up. Regardless of which service is needed, you can be rest assured that your pup will have all of the attention, affection and play time he or she needs.. then some! I can offer dog walking, house sitting .. or pups can come hang with me in my home. Pups will love running around in fenced back yard. Whether it’s a day or a month, you can rest assured that your family member will be cared for as much as you would! That is a promise 😊 I am retired and I don’t take pets in unless I am certain that I will be spending quality time with them. Most days they are here, I will be here full time with the exception of occasional doctors appointment or store run. Fenced back yard with a great neighborhood for walking. Pups sleep with me and are allowed on furniture 😃. Pups are my priority when I have them.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets my entire life! I have experience caring for them by feeding, walking and playing with them. I have dog sat for a couple of friends before and i’m looking forward to gaining more experience! I’m currently a student at Nazareth University, so during the summer I will be very available! I plan to continue using Rover into the school year also. At home I have two dogs and two cats! When at a client’s home I will make sure to keep an eye on their pet and follow whatever instructions I am given for care.

“Excellent. My dog adores her. Very reasonably priced, punctual, and communication is great”


About: Hello, I grew up with pets my whole life, and I understand how much it matters to have a reliable and kind person to care for pets when you are unable to. I will do everything you ask to be done as I am respectful of the owner's wishes! I work part time - early in the mornings! I am always available by noon... and for the rest of the day! I look forward to being your sitter! I will do whatever the owner's wishes are! I can play with the pet, sit and cuddle the pet, take him/her outside, feed them, walk them, anything!

“Julie is amazing and loving and and easy to work with she goes above and beyond”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I looked after neighborhood dogs when the family would be out of town. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and have had dogs stay with me at my home. I take care of my own dog and we are very active. Being active is part of my dog’s breed and is something I could provide for animals that are at home while owners are at work or out of town. I live in a townhome with one dog that will keep your pet busy! Sage loves to play, run, and swim. As far as going to other homes I have stayed in the home for a couple hours playing with the animals. Either one works for me. When we do have another dog stay with us, we constantly stay active and also have time for rest. Dog parks, hikes, walking on the beach, are some examples of activities that I have done with other dogs.

“Thank you for another pop in Sarah! I can always count on you to take care of my fur babies and send the cutest picture updates :)”


About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of pets in high school, college, and finally had the opportunity to get a pup of my own. I have taken care of special needs pets, even working with a deaf pup to teach him commands using sign language and a cat that has diabetes. I am responsible, my own pet needing special care due to separation anxiety and a sensitive stomach and skin. He has given me more joy than I could have imagined I look forward to meeting your bundle of joy too! I’m going to school online and have time to make sure your pup is happy, healthy, and well exercised! I know what it’s like to worry about your pet while you’re at work/ doing what you need to do! I’m here to make sure you are at ease! I have one neutered male doggo that loves friends! We love to explore the local parks and we work on leash training every day! I have a large fenced in backyard perfect for playing! If we aren’t exploring, we can be sun bathing, or playing in the backyard!

Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some quiet company, Tanner always shows up with patience and love. I’ve seen firsthand how animals respond to him — they adore him!

Debbie H.

“Right from the start I knew it was going to work out having Debbie dog sit for me, her love for animals is apparent. One of my dogs doesn’t usually like new people, which makes it difficult to leave him too often, but Debbie was able to win him over in no time!! He loves her and it makes going out of town so much easier knowing he is being taken care of and isn’t a nervous wreck the entire time we are gone! I’d highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for that special person to watch their little fur babies!”

Morgan B.
“Morgan is one of the most responsible friends I have, especially when it comes to her dog, Sage. The love and care she has provided to Sage is that similar to a mother and child. This is probably because of Sage being a rescue dog; Morgan saw the needs of a scared dog and created a loving and trusted relationship. I know this would be extended to any dog Morgan is in charge of the care of. You’d be incredibly lucky to have Morgan care for and walk your dog :)”
