“Emily did a fantastic job caring for our critters and home while we were away. She provided daily updates, photos, and even a video or two. We really appreciated her good communication and reliability. Thanks for a great experience!”

“Rose was fantastic, we couldn’t ask for a better pet sitting experience. All of our pets adored her and seemed more than happy in her care. She sent lovely updates/photos of them and wasn’t afraid to reach out with questions. It was the most worry-free pet sitting experience and we look forward to travelling again knowing our pets will be safe and loved in her care.”

“Kristen was wonderful! She took excellent care of Pepper and Merlin while we were away. She was attentive to their routines, followed all medication instructions, and made sure they received plenty of attention and quality time. Communication was great throughout, and she kept me informed, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages that arrived while we were away. Most importantly, I came home to two happy pups! I would absolutely book with Kristen again and highly recommend her!”

“Kacey was SO AMAZING during her stay with our puppy! She is caring, thoughtful, professional, and gave her full attention to him. She gave us updates and provided pictures of Cooper that we absolutely loved! We are excited to book her for future stays and so happy to have found Kacey. Highly highly recommend.”

“Allison is a terrific person to take care of a house and pets. Good communication, willing to bend as needed. She pet-sat during the single month when my long-haired dog sheds constantly. We have to be vigilant with cleaning the house to keep up with it. She left the house super clean. I felt like a real adult was taking my place. She's not the type who will accept a job, then change her mind and leave you stranded. She's responsible, a person who could manage any situation as well as could be expected, and is up for what comes her way. Allison kept up with our flight arrivals and offered to stay an extra night if we experienced cancelations. She visited first and I showed her the routine which is just so helpful. All good!”

“Ella was wonderful! Great communication and she took excellent care of our house and pets. Would definitely book with her again!”

“This was my first time having someone stay at my house with my pup instead of bringing her somewhere. I completely trust Oli with her, it went well! I look forward to Oli helping my pup again for a wedding in September :)”

Allison H.

“Nina did a fantastic job dog sitting for Gertie and Gussie! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. We highly recommend!”

“Margaret did a great job watching Max! Would definitely use her again.”

“Andrew was amazing! He took such great care of our three cats and our dog while we were away. He walked our dog twice a day and spent a lot of time playing with her and keeping her company. We also came home to a super clean house, exactly how we left it. We’d definitely use Andrew again and highly recommend him!”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

“We had a great experience with Kelsey. She was professional, communicative, and always punctual. Most importantly, she was incredibly attentive to our pet’s needs and made sure everything ran smoothly while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Jenna is amazing! She took such great care of our 3 dogs and even taught them new tricks! She is extremely communicative and sent us photos and videos often. She left our house spotless and even watered my plants for me. She is now our go to person!”

“Jakiya was awesome, kind and flexible as our plans changed slightly last minute. Our dog Ruby needs a little time to warm up to new people and Jakiya was super gracious and patient in this process. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Maggie did a great job watching our dog Audubon for the weekend. In addition to being very sweet and playing with Aud, she was proactively, timely, and followed Aud’s schedule to a tee. We got lots of updates and photos from Maggie and she left our house just as she found it! Would absolutely book again.”

Katie Q.

“Ashley did awesome! Took care of the animals and the house great. I would highly recommend.”

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.

“Lupe was amazing with Taco. Great communicator and sent lots of pictures. She made me feel at ease and I knew Taco was being cared for and was safe.”

About: I have been working with animals for ten years now! I owned a dog care and behavior management business in Richmond before taking a break to continue my education and now hold a BS in animal behavior and cognition. I have worked with dogs of all shapes, ages, sizes, breeds, and backgrounds…name it and I’ve probably done it or at least have a related funny story! I specialize in adult and senior dogs who exhibit behaviors such as reactivity, fear, aggression, and anxiety and dogs who have specialized health conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, gastrointestinal issues, joint pain, and cognitive decline. Given my background and specialty, I’m a huge advocate for consensual interactions and give the dogs in my care as much choice and autonomy as possible. I’m also a big fan of enrichment activities that encourage species typical behaviors and tailoring care to each individual dog’s unique needs. Dogs will always be my first love and I can’t wait to meet yours! I owned a business working with dogs full time and hope to continue that journey through Rover! I am available for 30 minute visits and hour long visits Monday-Friday from 9-6 and am available for overnight care + housesitting Monday-Sunday. As of right now, I am only available to care for animals at the clients home. I have found through experience that animals typically do better when in their own homes surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and smells. This also allows me to follow the dog’s exact schedule and routine which aids in reducing any anxiety the dog might experience. I like to tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. Some dogs love to power walk for an hour straight, others prefer to cuddle on the couch with a five minute potty break, and some prefer interactive playtime with lots of verbal praise! Each dog is unique and deserves an individual experience based on their needs and the clients needs.
