Pet Sitting John Marshall

“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”

Pam A.

“Krista was ultra communicative the whole time and really attempted playing with my picky boys. She put in extra that she didn't need to and checked to make sure my property was locked behind her. I can't think of anything else I could possibly expect out of a sitter. First class.”

Kraig K.

“Ali was great and took wonderful care of our pup pups - she did everything she agreed to do & was wonderful to work with!! We will use her again.”

Audrey H.

“Thane did a wonderful job of caring for our fur babies! They were thoughtful and considerate to our cats needs and kept us well informed while we were away.”

Annemarie M.

“Laura was wonderful! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Laura made me feel super comfortable! She sent so many cute pictures/videos of my kitty Poe, gave me updates, and I always felt like I could reach out to her to check in. Highly recommend Laura! :)”

About: I am a recent graduate from The University of Virginia who grew up in an animal-loving home. I am an attentive pet sitter and dog walker with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and in-home care, focusing on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining their normal routines. I’ve grown up caring for animals and currently have a friendly Bichon and two cats of my own, so I understand how important trust, consistency, and individualized care are. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and administering simple medications when needed. I’m especially patient with shy, senior, or anxious pets and always take a calm, respectful approach. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available for daytime walks and visits, evenings, and weekends, and I can accommodate pets who need multiple check-ins or extra attention throughout the day. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and extended care, as well as evenings and weekends. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to accommodate pets who need consistent routines, multiple check-ins, or extra attention throughout the day. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with one friendly Bichon and two cats who are well-socialized around other animals. I carefully supervise all interactions and can easily separate pets if needed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, prioritize cleanliness and safety, and communicate regularly with pet parents to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I am very available in the summertime (I am a teacher), and I am available on day on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I am able to travel to your pet in the morning and evening (before and after work). On weekends and on school breaks I am very flexible. I currently am a teacher, so I am available morning and evening on weekdays, and I am available all day on weekends. I am also available all the time in the summer. I am very willing to come take care of your pets at your house. I am very welcoming to all behaviors and I will follow all expectations perfectly, as well as take care of your animal with as much love as you would!

“Lexi went above and beyond. She not only cared for our cat (who loved her!!) but she also saved our home when our water heater exploded and was leaking all over our house. Seriously saved the day!!! 15/10 would recommend and will be booking with her again!!!”

Kara S.

“Danyelle is fantastic! She was patient and loving with my two cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She won over my male cat, Toast, within minutes and sent me pics of him on her lap. Even my super shy girl, Sunny, who usually hides under the bed, came out to see Danyelle and accepted some pets. I am so happy to have found such an amazing sitter!”

About: As the owner of high energy pets, I am an expert at walks and enrichment. I love animals and am often the first person my friends and family ask to watch their pets when they go out of town. I have a flexible schedule and can be available to care for your pets! On weekends, I am available for petting sitting or long walkies. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood that is good for walks. I have two pets of my own, a service dog dropout and a cat that likes dogs more than people. I am also willing to drive to your home to care for your pets.

“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”

Ryan C.

“We had a wonderful experience with Eryn while away on vacation! She was exceptionally attentive, keeping us updated and giving us total peace of mind the entire time we were away. Our roommate mentioned how respectful and completely unobtrusive she was while in our shared home. Most importantly, our pets loved her; they've actually become noticeably more social and outgoing since her visits. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be booking her again!”

A T.

“Taylor is amazing! We’ve trusted her multiple times to watch our dogs, and she truly cares about their wellbeing. Having Taylor as our pet sitter provides peace of mind when we are out of town. She’s the best!”

“Kathryn was super kind, communicative, and pleasant. Highly recommend.”

About: I’m someone who genuinely treats pets like family. I have three cats of my own, and I also help care for my brother’s 3-year-old, 90-pound German Shorthaired Pointer/Black Lab mix, so I’m comfortable with both cats and bigger, energetic dogs. I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. I’m always wondering how my own pets are doing when I’m traveling or even when I’ve just been out of the house for a long day. Because of that, I want to give other pet owners that same peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to send plenty of updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re away! I work from home in Scott’s Addition Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be flexible with pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available all days except Tuesdays, when I’m in DC for work. My workday is 8:30 AM–5 PM, but if you’re nearby, I can often stop in during my lunch break. I’m also available before or after work and on weekends. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and larger dogs, and I’m used to following each pet’s individual routine. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for in a clean, calm environment, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away.

“Fantastic cat sitting service provider. My cat came down with a sudden allergy just before I left on vacation. She was willing to apply medicine on him each day and provided updates and even drove to pick up a cat medicine that was mailed to the wrong address. She’s very nice and friendly and my skeptical cat warmed up to her quickly. Would absolutely recommend.”

Melissa B.

“Thank you so much for taking time to spend with Maggie. She loves people and it is a blessing to have you come and spend time with her!!”

Renee K.

“First time having Nick care for our fur babies! Nick is a great young man who clearly loves animals. He was punctual for our meet and greet as well as drop in visit to care for our pups! Would highly recommend and will definitely be calling on him for future needs!”

Lori W.

“McKenzie did an amazing job caring for Leo while I was away. The timely communication and follow up was top notch and kept me at ease knowing he was being taken care of in absence.”

About: My partner and I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. We carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We’re comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. Our focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. My specialty is organization and structure, my partner specializes in socialization and behavioral management. Pet care is part of our daily life. Someone is home throughout the day. We organize our schedule around the dogs in our care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. We have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside we provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place for them to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in our home or a client’s home, we focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. We follow established routines, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.
