“Colleen and Sean have been watching our puppy chief since he was only 7 weeks old! They have provided puppy drop-ins each week while my husband and I are at work and we know that he is under the absolute best care! Colleen and Sean are reliable, wonderful, caring people that have treated Chief (and our home) like their own. They are great communicators and send us several photos each day, and always keep us up to date on chief’s “personality” that day lol. They have helped reinforce his training and even taught him how to “shake” in only a couple of weeks! We highly recommend using Colleen and Sean for all of your doggy needs. We couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy sitter for our little fur baby and are so lucky to have them!”
“Alison did a great job taking care of my cat for the week. She is punctual, reliable, and great at sending updates throughout the day. I really appreciated that she took care of my cat’s basic needs but also took time to give him love and attention.”
“Outstanding! Jingle 🐕 loves Sarah B. ❤️ He waits for her every morning 🌄 and 🌌. Sarah feeds 🐕, takes 🐕 outside for "buisness," and for play and magnificent photos and videos! Sarah spends time training 🐕 on new "steps" to get up and down on bed and his throne (since the jump is beginning to be harder for 🐕) and reinforcing his potty training. Sarah pours lots of love, attention, and "pets" upon Jingle. 💖 Sarah has made my 13/14 y.o. 🐕 feel like a puppy 🐶 again. It's a beautiful 😍 thing! Sincerely, Jingle and Theresa”
“Ashley is wonderful with our dog! She took great care of him while we were on vacation, leaving us at peace knowing he is safe with her drop in visits. He seems to miss her, as he is looking out the door to see if she is coming by. We will definitely use Ashley again!”
“Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Andrew was excellent with our high energy 2-year-old pup! His calming presence was the perfect match for Abe, and we had a happy dog upon returning home. Will book again!”
“We always come back from our trip with a peace of mind with Nicole as our sitter! She takes care of our cats like they are her own. Highly recommend her every time!”
“Trent did a really great job giving our animals the best care! He was on time, consistent, and bonded very easily with our pets. He sent wonderful photos at each check in and ensured that our pets received top tier interaction while we were away. Thank you Trent!”
“Morgan was a great caretaker for our cat with daily updates and ensured our pet was taken care of, we appreciated the peace of mind and would book with her again!”
“Phoebe has watched our two cats twice now and I will always book her to watch them when we’re out of town. The cats love her and she always sends cute updates and pictures everyday. She doesn’t just feed and water them, she interacts with them and gives them lots of cuddles while we’re away. She is so appreciated!!”
About: I'm happy to walk and play with big dogs. I am patient and calm around wary cats but happy to be playful, too! I've been lucky enough to parent three dogs and four cats. I like all pets, and I think they like me, too. I'm a teacher to widely available in the summer. I'm available to house-sit including weekdays. I'm up early to exercise so happy to make early morning visits or walks. I have cats, so I don't plan to care for other pets in my home. In your home I will treat both your pets and property with care and professionalism. I'm happy to just pop in for food and bathroom breaks or to stay and keep your pet company for a while. I love playing with both cats and dogs, including just sitting with them on my lap.
About: I’ve cared for dogs&cats since elementary school. I’d find myself naturally responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning, and loving them. I’ve done cat sitting for a friend for as long as a month, and dog sitting basically all my life since I grew up them. I’m experienced in caring for pups less than a year old, and older dogs as well~ I worked at Dogtopia where I handled over 40 dogs in one room! I have experience handling dog scuffles and managing dog behavior. My current schedule is open and free Sunday through Saturday. The holidays being an exception as I will be out of town for the week of Christmas. I am prepared to meet the needs of your 4-legged loved one in any way that they need. Request and I will deliver as best as I can. I believe our furry friends deserve respect and have boundaries as we do.
“Phuong is so amazing! I had forgotten to mention our cat’s medicine and not only did Phuong remember, she remembered the dose from the last time she cared for our cat! She is simply fantastic!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school. I have taken care of animals in their home, my home, and also had stop ins to feed and walk animals. I have fostered dogs for the past few months and have been working at a dog grooming and training business for months now. I am currently working through a rescue finding foster homes for dogs and working to find their forever home. I’m a college student at Virginia Tech in my senior year! I only have class on Tuesday and Thursday, so I have plenty of time during the week for your animals! I currently have my foster fail, Ellie, living with me. She is crate trained and can remain in her crate if needed. If you pup needs a playmate, Ellie is the perfect girl for the job. She loves to run and play and enjoys her long walks with her brother, Huck, whenever we’re home in Northern VA with him.
“She did a great job with my cats when I was on the vacation for a week. She went above and beyond on her drop in visits and even left a nice bonus of printed pictures of my cats. Which is understandable because they are very photogenic.”
“Gail was so great! She took great care of my cat Newton. She was so well organized and prepared when she came to meet him and she sent the best updates that really showed she was getting to know him! I would absolutely trust her to take care of him again.”
Jefferson cat parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you Alison for the fantastic photos and detailed information about the information I’ve conveyed I care the most about. And going above and beyond and my baby boy (cat) leans into you even without prolonged exposure or time btw you two which means you give off good cat instincts :) thank you for doing what you do! I trust you in my house and w my boy :)
Lindsay was the best! I have a very clingy cat and she didn't hesitate to sit down and spend some time with her every visit. I received text and photo updates every day. It was a big relief knowing my favorites were taken care of while I was away. I'll be booking Lindsay for my time away in the future for sure!
Virginia was great with our two cats while we were away for our wedding, it was great to have peace of mind that they were in good hands. She very clearly loves cats and treated them with so much respect from their very first meeting! She also gave us updates through the Rover app each visit letting us know what mischief the cats got up to!
Katrina was the first pet sitter we have had outside of family members. She is responsive and caring. She was very flexible with the changing needs of our three senior cats and took the time to make sure they got what they needed. She communicated with us during the booking and adapted as needed. We recommend Katrina and are planning to rebook for our next trip.
Joshua was so amazing with my furbabies! I have ring cameras and could see how calm he was around them and did everything perfectly! Would highly recommend!!! Incredibly responsive, professional and caring. And he was a total lifesaver with a last minute booking!!! 10000000000000% satisfied customer.
She was exactly who we needed to care for our finicky sweet cat. Abby communicated with us every time she visited with photos and videos of our kitty. She updated us on our kitty’s patterns and eating habits and learned when she wanted attention and when she needed a little space (so important for cats!). She was flexible with needing to find supplies in the house like trash bags when we didn’t leave enough out. Our cat clearly loved having her there and warmed up to her quickly. Bubs is usually visibly stressed after we are gone even with care but this time she was happy and relaxed when we got back. Abby was really the perfect cat sitter for us!!
We had to request a last minute sitter for our cats and Zosha was immediately responsive. He was such an amazing sitter for my two kitties! He definitely made me feel like they were in safe hands the whole time and made it very easy to enjoy my trip away without any anxiety. We got pics and updates every single visit. One of my cats required eye ointment twice a day and Zosha did such a great job despite how squirmy my one cat can be. Cannot thank him enough and will definitely be rebooking in the future!!
We feel so lucky to have Phoebe as Smokey’s sitter for years! She consistently takes such wonderful care of our cat, and it gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. You can tell Phoebe genuinely loves animals. Smokey absolutely adores her and is always so happy and comfortable in her care. Phoebe is reliable, attentive, and always keeps us updated, which we really appreciate. It is clear Smokey isn’t just being looked after - she is being cared for and truly loved. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust!
