Elise gave great regular updates while she checked in on my cat while I was gone. Her questions and info gave me the confidence to not have to worry while away, and I returned home to a happy cat and tidy food and litter areas. I'll definitely look to book Elise again next time.

About: Hi! My name is Barb. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals for over 10 years, including my own pets. I am available for daily walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, litter box cleaning, and medication routines. I have experience with active and senior pets, shy cats, and animals that need extra patience and reassurance. Puppies and kittens are also welcome. Hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m available for both recurring and occasional pet care, and I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and care instructions, pay close attention during walks and visits, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, calm, and secure in their environment.

Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!

About: I only host 1–2 dogs at a time, so your dog gets a calm, low-stress stay—not a crowded environment like other daycare or boarding facilities/Rover homes. Hi! I’ve had 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog from puppyhood through his senior years, so I truly understand the patience, attention, and love dogs need at every stage of life. I now offer care on Rover and treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I love spending time with your pets. I enjoy outdoor so I like walking the dogs outside as well. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible daily. Looking for a safe, comfortable place for your dog while you’re busy or away? 🐾 I offer both dog boarding and daycare in a spacious, home-based environment where your pup can play, relax, and feel at ease. With personalized care, plenty playtime, and lots of attention, your precious is treated like family. Whether it’s for the day or an extended stay, your furry friend will be in a clean, secure, and loving space. 🐶 Message me to learn more or book your dog’s spot!

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

About: hello, my name is Julian. I'm a college student working as a veterinarian assistant. I have had dogs in my home since the day that I was born, and I'm never someone who passes up saying hi to one on the street. my experience makes me especially well suited to handle your dog's medical needs. I've experienced taking care of dogs old, young, big, or small. I just so happen to be a fan of them all. If you're not sure if I can provide a service, please ask! I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on your animals or hang out with them as needed. Especially for animals who have special needs / with special requests, your family member takes priority. just like I would value your pet as my own family member, and care for them as such, I would treat your home with the same respect. I know very well how messy some animals can get, especially when their parents aren't home. So I would be more than happy to make sure your home's sanctityis preserved while you're away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a live-in nanny, and I also care for the family’s dogs. When their owners are away, the dogs stay with me and even sleep in my room so they feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time as a live-in nanny, which allows me some flexibility for pet care. However, I do have a busy schedule with regular dog-walking clients, so availability can vary. Please message me first to confirm scheduling before booking. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs if I have an open time slot. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special requirements provided by the owner.

About: With over 5 years of experience, I provide a nurturing 'home away from home' where your pet is welcomed as a true member of our family. As a full-time housewife, I am dedicated to your pet’s care 24/7, providing constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and immediate attention in our calm McLean home. I am experienced in caring for senior pets with the utmost patience. My husband has his postdoctoral training in the College of Veterinary Medicine and is available to assist with any pet-related issues or health concerns that may arise. My two daughters also share my deep love for animals and assist me in providing gentle social interaction and affection, ensuring your pup feels loved and never lonely while you are away. Inside our home, your pup will enjoy a balance of physical play and focused mental enrichment through interactive pet puzzles and snuffle mats to keep their minds sharp and engaged. As a full-time housewife, my schedule is entirely dedicated to your pet's happiness and safety. Our household operates like a well-oiled team to ensure constant care. The day starts early at 4:30 AM, when my husband gets up for work, both of us will provide the first potty break of the morning for our guest pets. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will never be left unattended and will receive frequent potty breaks every 2–4 hours. We follow a structured routine that balances physical activity with mental enrichment. Mornings and late afternoons are reserved for neighborhood walks or trips to the community park near our home to explore 'new smells'. During the day, I utilize our sunroom and fenced yard to provide a safe environment for play and relaxation. Evenings are a time for wind-down and cuddles, and you can expect a detailed update from me daily. To ensure total transparency, I keep a daily log of eating, potty, and activity habits to share with you at the end of the stay. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I am professionally insured and bonded , providing you with total peace of mind during your pet's stay. I live in a single-family home featuring a temperature-controlled sunroom for lounging and a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and exercise. To ensure the highest level of safety, my husband’s postdoctoral training in the College of Veterinary Medicine provides an expert layer of oversight for all our guests. To maintain a healthy environment, I sanitize and clean our pet spaces daily, and all puzzle toys are sanitized between guests. My daughters have been taught strict ground rules for interacting with guest pets: they only approach dogs who are relaxed and never disturb a pet while they are eating or sleeping. All interactions between guest pets and my children are 100% supervised by me at all times. We love to explore the community park near our house and go on neighborhood walks, and I will keep you at ease with frequent photo and video updates of your pet’s stay. To ensure total transparency, I keep a daily log of eating, potty, and activity habits to share with you at the end of the stay.

Madison was a lifesaver! When our other sitter didn’t work out at the last minute she was able to take care of Jack, and even made time to do a meet and greet first. She was super communicative and on time. She sent me pics and provided updates which I always appreciate. Overall she took great care of Jack and I would absolutely recommend her!

About: I've grown up with a Bullmastiff and later a Retriever. So I know my way around bigger and heavier dogs as well as more active and energetic ones. I am looking forward to apply those experiences to sitting and walking your four-legged companions with the similar dedication. In addition, we’ve recently lost our Charlie (my golden retriever) and would love to spend time with your pets to try to fill in that gap. But we are in the process of getting a new golden puppy, so puppy requests are welcome as well!

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!

Manrong went above and beyond in caring for and feeding Moonbeam our cat while we were out of town for a few days. She was very thorough in cleaning out dishes, refilling fresh water, mealtimes, playtime, and did her utmost to open/close shades and maintain a great home environment every time she stopped by to take care of MB. She also gained MB’s trust each day. She was punctual, communicative, and asked questions/ shared updates frequently. She gave us so much of peace of mind! I would recommend her as one of the best petsitter’s we have come across!
