“The best dog sitters! Chelsea-Jo & Austin are so wonderful every time with our dog. They treat him like family and always go above and beyond, sending us pictures and providing updates. We are so lucky to have found them for our pup!”
“Camila was the best! She took amazing care of our pup, sent daily updates and pictures, and was very communicative. We’d definitely use Camila again in the future - highly recommend!”
“We are repeat customers. Krysta watched our two dogs, including our puppy. She sent us photos and updates. Everything went smoothly and the dogs came home happy and tired.”
“We love Telma! We can tell that our dog had a fantastic time with Telma. She also always sends us photos and is very communicative. We will definitely return for Telma’s service. Thank You once again!”
“Abby and her family were wonderful care givers of our elderly pets. Our buddies were in their care for more than a week and I can tell they were able to stick to the feeding routine. Our pets comeback in good shape. Thanks Abby and family!”
“We asked Lilly to help us watch our Yellow Lab for 7 days. This allowed us to travel for spring break. Her family and other dogs (Lima is our dog's favorite) treated our dog like one of their own. She provided pictures each day which helped my son know that his best friend was doing fine. When we picked him up he was tuckered out from all the playing and was in great spirits. Overall, I'd recommend Lilly to anyone. We'll surely be using her again!”
“Jennifer was so caring with Juno, I greatly appreciated all the sweet picture updates and regular communication communications. She was especially kind and flexible when I was delayed due to travel complications, and I felt so much better knowing that Juno was safe.”
“Stacy was a wonderful choice for our dog Bella! She informed us when she was on the way, gave us updates with pictures of her at her home, and the communication was seamless! Her kids enjoyed the time with our dog as well! I highly recommend if you need a dog sitter! A+++++”
About: Greeings! I am a full time pet sitter who also stays home full time as well. Your pup is welcome to make my home, their home, while you are away! I have a 3 level townhome with a fenced in yard, plus an upper deck area the pups love. I love having company so please feel free to reach out! I am home full time and have 7 day availability for your pup(s). I can also accept more than one dog, as long as they are from the same family. My dog passed some time ago so I do not have any pets at the moment. I have a 3 level townhome, dogs are free to roam the house or can be sectioned off for puppies. Dogs are allowed on any furniture you allow at home.
“Our pup seemed so happy with Heather. She had great communication with us was able to extend our stay when we needed a few more days. I would recommend her and use her again.”
“Migeulina picked up and dropped off the dogs, which was a huge help. Covi went to the window to see her leave! My dogs loves to play and to run around with other dogs so I'm positive that they had a great time! Usually they are running to get to us! This time it's like they were teenagers coming home after a great weekend! Irma eats very little if she's not at home, but she had no issues with Miguelina. I don't think I'll take them to any other dog sitter. My dogs probably want tio go back! Miguelina and her daughter are wonderful. I couldn't have picked a better sitter!!”
“This was our first time booking a sitter ever.We had wonderful experience with Gabriela. She sent us pics and updates about our dog every day. She was very friendly and fast with communication. Gabriela was flexible with our schedule and we are very thankful that she agreed to care for a puppy. Blueberry came home happy and relaxed. Thank you”
“My dog Batman had a wonderful stay with Vanessa and Geoffrey. They have a great set up and were very attentive and loving towards my dog. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“Grant and Yunrui were outstanding caring for our dog for over 10 days. They were kind, responsive, responsible, and flexible. Our dog, who can be challenging in that she does not like other dogs and is skeptical of strangers, quickly warmed up to Grant and Yunrui. They kindly cared for our dog, walking her several times a day, playing with her often, and even helping to settle her stomach and otherwise calming her. 10/10 rating for them! Will be using them again for our dog (13 years old Austrian Cattle Dog Mix). Look no further if you want the best care for your pet!”
“We were so happy that Michelle was able to help us out last minute. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout Titans stay with her family. We will definitely book again for future stays.”
“Mariel and her family were lovely. We received daily updates with pictures and videos. They took Remy on all sorts of fun adventures, entertained him with new toys and gave him lots of snuggles. Our pup is our baby and we would happily use Mariel again in the future.”
“We needed a sitter for our sweet little beagle mix, Cleo, over the President's Day weekend. We're so glad we found Melissa. She spoiled Cleo with walks in the woods and lots of lying outside in the the backyard in the sun (Cleo's favorite things). Melissa gave us an update each day including photos of our little girl, enjoying her own doggie vacation. We enjoyed our time away, knowing that Cleo was so well cared for.”
Lorton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Teddy had the best time with Melissa and Clay! He felt like one of the pack with their two dogs - going on adventures together! They sent so many pictures that I knew he was having a fabulous time. We even debated if he missed us because he was having such a blast!! We will absolutely be sending him back.
Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!
As always Marcella goes above and beyond for our senior pup. He’s getting older and has been struggling with different foods. Marcella cooked him different foods just to make him comfortable. It’s hard having senior dogs but knowing he’s being cared for so we don’t worry is a blessing! Thank you so much Marcella!
They were awesome! Grant and Yunrui were so great with my Miama and sent me plenty of photos and updates on how she was doing during my trip which eased my nervousness on leaving her. They were also super patient since my dog is a little reactive and were completely understanding and nice about it. I would most definitely book with them again!
MC is THE BEST! I have a senior dog and I know that MC is experienced with senior dogs and every picture I get shows me that Jezabel is so calm and relaxed. She was super flexible with me in accommodating some additional days that I had requested before the original booking. Also, she lives in a place with lots of grass and little hills for doggies to climb. MC is my go-to sitter for my sweet girl, and I highly recommend using her to care for your baby.
Nicole was absolutely wonderful. She was so responsive to everything from our meet and greet to keeping me informed & sending updates often for how our pup was doing. I knew our pup was in good hands with her - gave me a sense of calm while on my trip that my pup was safe and with such a kind and caring person. 100% recommend Nicole!
Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!
John is great. My dog got along great with theirs. Maddy is 14 years old and has arthritis. He was very attentive and let me know she was limping one day and also kept an eye where I had cut her nail too short the day before dropping her off. He sent nice photos and gave frequent updates.
Stephanie was very responsive and receptive to a meet and greet before booking. I was nervous, as our dog was still recovering from surgery, but at the meet and greet, Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and was very accommodating to Sasha. She was very open to our weird schedules for drop off and pick up. We will definitely book her again!
