“I highly recommend Krysta and Alex for dog sitting services! They took excellent care of our dog, providing a fenced-in yard where he could run and play freely. Our dog also enjoyed the company of their friendly dogs, which was a huge plus. We loved the daily updates and pictures, which reassured us that he was happy and well-cared for. They went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their care!”
“Awesome sitters, communication was amazing. If you’re looking to find a family setting for your pet when your family is away, they are perfect. Thank you, we hope we can have Waffles see you guys again soon.”
“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!”
“Camila was awesome! Despite my travel plans adjusting last minute she was extremely accommodating and very communicative throughout the stay. Grateful for her passion and professionalism.”
“Jennifer was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Bear. This was our first time leaving Bear with a sitter in a while and she made us feel very comfortable from the start. Communication was prompt and clear with lots of picture updates :). Her dog JJ was also a sweetheart. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jennifer as a pet sitter. Thank you 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 are repeat users of Lilly as she not only takes amazing care of our dogs, she also knows that we appreciate updates and pics. The daily snaps of the dogs at her house relaxing make leaving them easier because we can see that the dogs are being spoiled. This was their third visit and the dogs even greeted her as a dear friend. I was better able to enjoy my vacation because I knew my dogs were happy. I highly recommend Lilly!!”
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.
“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!”
“My senior dog was so well taken care of, and came home happy, healthy and rested. I loved receiving photo updates while away on my trip, and I would definitely book with Miguelina again!!”
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our two pups for over a week! Communication was great, and she consistently sent photos to keep us updated. I could tell the pups enjoyed their stay with Michelle, and we'll definitely try to book with her again in the future.”
“We would highly recommend Gabriela’s dog boarding services. She’s very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. Gabriela also sent updates with photos and funny videos throughout our dog’s stay. It’a always great to return to a happy dog in good spirits. Thank you Gabriela! J & S Ross”
“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.”
“Faith, was a life saver! I needed boarding at the last minute and Faith was available without hesitation. Easy to coordinate with & accommodating. Turned my stressful experience into a breeze. Would definitely recommend.”
“Fern & Sherlock love their stays at Nicole’s home! My fiance and I know that they are having lots of fun and are well taken care of while we are away. We also love all the photos and videos Nicole sends us!”
“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!”
Lorton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Grant and Yunrui were wonderful sitters to my scaredy cat, called Bean. We adopted Bean at age 5 and she was "foster fail", because she would not allow anyone to get close to her to pet her. Around strangers, she takes a long time for Bean to warm up to anyone. Grant and Yunrui were understanding. They sent pictures when possible - Bean is a great hider. They also kept us updated on her adaptation to her new environment and her eating. They were also very adaptable when my flight was delayed and I could not pick her up at the appointed time. I appreciate how laid back and flexible they were. You pet is in great hands if you choose them! Thank you Grant and Yunrui for the love and care that you gave our pet, Bean!
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!
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!
