“Colleen did a wonderful job taking care of my dog so I could go to an important business meeting. Trixie is young, lively, and had only been with me three days when Colleen came to sit for her. Colleen is very knowledgeable about dogs and had Trixie under control and doing obedience exercises when I left for my meeting. Thanks so much Colleen! I was able to concentrate on business and not worry about my new doggie.”
“Fantastic!!!We have two young, large dogs (German Shepherd and Bernese Mountain mixes) and Pamela earned their trust immediately and was super trust worthy while we had to be out of two for work unexpectedly. We don’t board our dogs, so we couldn’t leave them anywhere last minute and decided to use Rover for the first time. We will definitely use Rover going forward and highly recommend Pamela to everyone.”
“Alison was amazing! My cat is usually super shy but he came out for her to play and eat. I felt very comfortable with her coming to my place in my absence and will definitely book her in the future!”
“We used Amanda to take our pup out mid day for a week while nobody could be home. She sent pictures and communicated well. I could also tell our dog was happy in her care. I would gladly hire Amanda again.”
About: Hi! My name is Andrés, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly enjoy spending time with them, going for walks, playing, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m based in the Tysons area and I’m very adaptable to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a calm walk, a drop in visit for food and playtime, or full-time care during the night, I’m here to help. I’m responsible, punctual, and very attentive to detail. If your pup needs medication, a special routine, or just someone to give them lots of love while you’re away, you can count on me. I speak both Spanish and English, and I’d be happy to answer any questions before we begin. Your pet will be in good hands! I’m available Monday through Thursday from 6:00–10:30 AM and after 7:30 PM. On Fridays, I’m fully available. On weekends, I’m available from 6:00–9:30 AM and after 8:30 PM. Whether you need a responsible dog walker, a drop-in sitter, or someone to give your pet extra love and care while you’re away, I’m here to help. I understand how important it is to trust someone entering your home and caring for your beloved pet. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and professionalism, just as I would my own. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s routine, and leave everything exactly as I found it. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. My oldest dog turning 20 this year. I’m currently a student, which makes my time more flexible and I would appreciate some extra income. I love dogs and I have two of my own and I know they’d love to have friends as well! I’m a student, which makes my time more flexible. I can help out almost everyday, from Wednesday-Sunday! Let me know if you need any help! I have an apartment which makes it a bit difficult for a dog to play, so having a moderate level of playtime and activity would be best at my place. I will bring my dogs out 2-3 times a day to play at the dog park, so if your dog likes to fetch, let’s go together :)
“Jane has been excellent with our 9-month-old beagle during her checkin service. She informs me of any unusual things that she observed, in addition to taking care of our dog. She also kept a close eye on our dog’s after-surgery suture area, sharing pics and building rapport with our dog. Highly recommend!”
“Tara brought Connor and Sterling out of their shells very quickly. They are normally quite shy around new people, but they took to her at once. I had special dental needs for them both and she made sure they were attended to. It's always good to come back to happy, well-fed cats, and that is exactly what Tara made happen.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love taking care of them! I’ve even had an aggressive dog so I know how to deal with all types of animals. I’m looking forward to making your pet the happiest they can be! I’m home from college for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I’m looking forward to adding some pet sitting/dog walking into my schedule! I have a dog and 3 cats at home so I wouldn’t want to stress anyone out by bringing another animal into that. I’d gladly come over and play/keep your fur baby company as long as they need!
“Sarah was the best, most attentive and patient sitter for my cats. She was so communicative and sent me pictures everyday, which means a lot as an anxious cat mom:) I will absolutely go to her again whenever I need a sitter. She will keep your pets safe and house clean, all while sending you helpful updates on your fur babies!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family since I was a teenager, ranging from indoor and outdoor cats to dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’m currently in-between full-time jobs at the moment so I’m pretty open most weekdays. I’m happy to drive anywhere in and near Fairfax County, VA. I can walk dogs on a leash around the neighborhood and/or monitor them while they play in the backyard. I can crate dogs after visits if needed. Cats I can confine to certain rooms of the house or let them roam.
“Chloe was fantastic! I was traveling with Winnie, a Boykin Spaniel puppy, and I had to stop for a few days of Work in the DC Metro. Chloe came over to the hotel and made sure that Winnie was fed, watered, walked and entertained while I worked all day. I'm sure this was a unique situation but Chloe made it work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend using Chloe, Thank you so much!”
