“Everything went well Erica was always ready for my to drop off Cosmo despite it typically be very early. Cosmo can be kind of a dirty dog, but she kept him clean and well taken care of. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures.”



“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”


“My dog Diego had never been in doggie daycare before and I was nervous to leave him. Also being a puppy, I felt bad knowing he doesn't always know his strength and when to go out. He was evidently a good dog, and I didn't have to come get him early. I highly recommend Eldeen!”


“Seyla provides excellent care for our dog, Bleu! Bleu is given opportunities for exercise, socialization with other dogs, and experiences many adventures involving hiking and running. Seyla is an excellent doggy daycare provider!”



“Stephen is extremely responsive and so accommodating for a new young pup and first time dog owner. He has a wealth of knowledge and provides helpful tips and updates. Lenny LOVES playing with Lucky- so thankful to have this duo!”


“Outstanding Doggy Day Care of Leila and Ranger. Alaina and her family adored my two dogs. She and her family treated Leila and Ranger as if they were there own dogs. It was obvious each day was filled with activity including walking and playing. Leila and Ranger were returned to me each day exhausted, and very happy to have received great doggy care. I appreciated the photos of my dogs each day showing them having fun. I also appreciated Alaina's understanding when I was a little late meeting her for return of dogs. Alaina is the best Dog sitter we've ever experienced and look forward to contacting Rover.com to get Alaina as our next Pet Sitter. Sincerely, Vic and Leah Riveras”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Pet Sitter – Highly Recommend! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Penjulee on Rover! From the start, she was professional and communicative. She took the time to understand my fur baby’s routine, needs, and personality, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Penjulee provided regular updates, including photos and messages, so I always knew how my fur baby was doing. I knew she was cared for, happy, and comfortable. I highly recommend Penjulee to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Katelyn was the PERFECT person to watch after my baby Snipa! This will be the second time she was available to watch after him, will definitely be a regular fur friend in Snipa! So excited Oliver and Snipa played well together, its always a good feeling to a fur mom is loved extra special while away.”


“We were visiting from out of town for our sons wedding and needed a last minute sitter. Thankfully we found Megan! Olive had a great time with Megan. She was a happy and worn out pup by the time we picked her up.”


About: Hello, my name is Aiden! I have experience in caring for farm animals large and small to your typical furry indoor friends. I myself have two cats at the moment. They are friendly to humans and animals alike. Even if your furry friend doesn’t get along with other animals there’s plenty of space for comfortable separation! Many people have entrusted me to provide a safe home away from home for their animals. I also have experience in administrating medications and special care if needed given detailed instructions. As long as it’s within my abilities to do so! I’m available full time (unless otherwise stated) to give your pet all the attention, love, and exercise they need! As long as I have open spots I’ll happily take care of all your pet needs. There’s plenty of room to play and relax indoors for your pet if you choose to board or use my daycare service! As well as a small fenced in yard, parks, and trails right outside the door to explore!

“Morgan is amazing ! I’m in the process of selling my home and had a pre-planned event prior to scheduling my open house. Morgan came to pick up my boys they had a blast and he dropped them home after the open house was over! Morgan is a great communicator and it’s evident that he loves dogs and they love him!”


About: I've had dogs in my life ever since I could walk! I have always loved furry friends and the joy that they bring. I've personally owned bully breeds, labradors/labradoodles, and shelties. I have cared for dogs as large as Mastiffs and as small as Yorkies. I currently own a friendly, loving, labradoodles named Beau! I'm currently a stay at home dog mama. My schedule is very flexible! I can help with walks, check ins, boarding in my home, and daycare in my home. I have 3 children ages 8,7,5 who share my love for furry friends. I have a labradoodle named Beau who is very friendly, playful and would be thrilled for some playmates!

About: I can accommodate your pets needs. My home is ideally suited for pets–a spacious, fully-fenced backyard for dogs to run around safely, I will maintain a calming presence with your dog. Walking/ running, fetch the ball are some outdoor activities to strengthen the bond with your dog. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a dog and have kept dogs for others. I take our dog out for walks and play-time with other dogs in the neighborhood . Diesel is very friendly, energetic and loving. My house has a large fenced yard. It’s not my practice to crate dogs. However, I can crate your dog if requested. I provide dog beds and allow dogs to move about freely. No one else will be assisting me with caring for your dog.

About: I have taken care of other people's pets for 15+ years along with housesitting. I have also worked for Wag! (Dog walking app) for years and I have also worked professionally for Queen City Pet-sitting in North Carolina. I am energetic, outgoing, patient, experienced, adaptable, and passionate. I am also a professional contemporary dancer and teacher. I have owned dogs, cats, fish, birds, hermit crabs, and a turtle. I am friendly, reliable, punctual, and would love to take care of your dog! Let me know if you have any questions or anything else you’d like to know. My availability is flexible so any time you need me, I can help out. I also have my own car so transportation is not a problem. I have a fenced in yard. I also live close to a greenway for nice long walks. I can easily crate your pet if needed as well.


About: If you're looking for a great alternative to a kennel while you travel, we're your solution! My single family home in South/Eastern Prince William County has a large fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, and our house is pet friendly. We have a 3 year old Berne Doodle who loves having sleepovers, and your fur-kid can live with us just like he/she's family! I am a teacher and handle the evening and night care and my husband is retired and plays with the pups all day! All visitors must be up to date on shots, and we can add on a bath while they're here for an extra fee. Being able to leave town and not worry about your family pets is important! I take puppies who need extra playtime, older dogs who need extra loving, and hungry hounds who need extra treats! I care for your guys as if they were my own, and you can enjoy your trip without worry! Drop off and Pick up Times are flexible, but early morning drop off and next day evening pick ups would be 2 days. I teach high school, and am usually home by 3. My husband is now retired and is home with the pups during the day. We always feed in the mornings before I leave (unless your pup needs to eat later) and I’m back for dinner and afternoon walks. We have a fenced yard and we generally keep the dogs right with us at all times. The dogs are allowed anywhere in the house and are treated as if they lived here, too!

“I was a ball of anxiety over the idea of needing to board my dog for over a week for the first time later in the year. I figured that a doggy daycare stay for an afternoon would help ease us all leading up to the big trip. The drop off process with Sean was painless. He began trying to work with my dog and gain trust immediately. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog in his hands for the day. Upon my return later in the evening, Sean and my dog came walking towards me in the driveway and my dog looked as happy as can be. The relief I felt was immeasurable, and my dog had a great nap in the car on the way home. I will 100% trust Sean with my dog again in the future, as should anyone reading this.”
