“Ashley is a blessing. When we met I felt like she was part of the family. She paid close attention to details, checked in often, and took excellent care of my dog.”

Linda M.

“Damian was great and very attentive to our pups while we were gone, and kept us well informed. We will gladly use his dog sitting services again!”

Brittany B.

“Absolutely wonderful! We have 3 big dogs and they are a handful! The one had to warm up to him a few times, so Jacob came to do meet and greets before the day that was needed. He took pictures and gave updates! Would 100% recommend! We will be using Jacob again!”

Mallory S.

“Jillian was great! Communicative, caring, responsive...she sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on all the goings on around the house. Would recommend her for anyone, and will definitely use her services again!”

Matthew M.

“Sam was exceptional. He was so kind in meeting our family and furry baby before we left for the weekend. Was so attentive and friendly, our two year old toddler adored him and our furry friend has the best weekend! We got pictures and updates as well as felt so safe with sam watching after our fur baby at home. Our labradoodle was so happy to see us but all of the pictures we received from sam showed a happy and loved dog. We can’t wait to have sam look after our pup again in the future and have already booked him for the end of the month!”

“Leigha was amazing! She was on time, very personalable, and sweet! She loved on our boys for us, sent pictures. She quickly responded to any questions I asked and I felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!!!!”

Kristina H.

“I could rave about Cory all day! Cory was hands down the best pet/house sitter we have ever had. He watched my two dogs and one cat for our new years trip. He followed all instructions and requests to the letter, he always kept me up to date about everything, sent all the photos, let me know if he had to leave the dogs for more than a few hours, and just was an all around pleasant person to interact with. I did not need to follow up for and updates like i usually do and my chiweenie, for once, did not gain 2-3 pounds while i was away but actually seemed like he was in better shape when i came back. I would 100% recommend Cory as a petsitter to anyone who asks. It is clear that he absolutely loves all kinds of animals and will treat your pets like his own when you are away.”

Umi H.

“Natalie was an excellent sitter for our family's fur babies. I felt very assured they were being taken care of as she sent updates and daily pictures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Natalie and will for sure ask for future bookings.”

Jodi M.

“Katherine was absolutely amazing. I have a medically complicated baby (meds 4x a day) + 2 kittens. (I’d also just recently lost my 2 elder babies so to say I was both stressed and nervous about leaving them is an understatement). She was understanding and communicative. Also I felt so safe about her staying out my house. No issues. 10/10 recommend. & if I need a sitter again in the future, I will absolutely be contacting her.”

Emma-Claire Z.

“This was the first time we were away from our 7 month old kitten for any length of time, and the thought of her being alone except for a daily drop-in broke my heart. I looked for someone who would be willing to stay in our house with her and give her as much love and attention as we would. Kristi went above and beyond our expectations! Not only did she make Anya home made treats, but she took her to a follow up appointment at the vet, gave her her medicine and washed our bedding at the end of the week! Kristi sent us daily updates and pictures of our girl and it was clear that our baby was loved and happy. We will definitely use Kristi again and recommend her to everyone!”

About: I have multiple pets of my own and feel confident in my abilities to adapt and learn. I have been taking care of animals my whole life including my own pets as well as others. I have a large breed dog who has daily medication and have taken care of elderly/animals with special needs. I love all animals and I even rescued a cat in Guatemala! I work two part time jobs but am available outside of those! I can do overnights on weekdays and most weekends if my job doesn’t interfere. I can do home drop ins before 3pm on weekends and after 6 on weekdays! I love cuddles or even just existing in the same space as any animal. Walking your dog will be the highlight of my day and I have a dog who would love to join for walks too! I love spending time with cats as well!

About: I've had a deep love for dogs since childhood, and my passion has only grown over the years. I currently have a miniature labradoodle named Finn, whom I've potty trained, taught a variety of tricks, and worked with on behavioral improvement. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience at Doggstuff, a local pet store, where I had the opportunity to learn dog training techniques directly from a professional trainer. I'm also well-prepared to handle any emergency situation involving dogs, ensuring they are safe and well cared for at all times. My combination of personal experience and professional training sets me apart as a reliable and knowledgeable pet sitter. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of availability during both weekdays and weekends. I’m free from Friday to Sunday and can accommodate overnight visits during this time. On weekdays, I’m available outside of my class hours: - Monday: 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Tuesday: 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Wednesday: 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Thursday: 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM During the week, I can provide both short and long walks based on your pet’s needs. Weekends are perfect for extended overnight stays, so you can rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands! For overnight visits and walks, my priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your dog. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to maintain their routine and environment as closely as possible. I create a secure and calm atmosphere, ensuring your dog feels at ease while you’re away. For walks, I tailor the length and intensity to your dog’s energy level and preferences, whether it's a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. I also stay alert to their body language and surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. I’m committed to building trust with both you and your pet, offering constant updates and staying available for any questions you may have during the service. Whether it’s overnight or a simple walk, I treat your dog as my own—providing love, attention, and care throughout the entire visit.

“Jess always does a great job with my boys. The boys are always happy and healthy when I come home. She's super communicative and sends lots of pictures to keep me in the loop =)”

About: I used to volunteer at my local animal shelter for about 2 years then I started dog walking in my neighborhood. I have had dogs my whole life and I really get along with them! I am a part time community college student (online) while also working a part time job, but I do not have long shifts at all! Luckily my work is located very close to the highway so I can conveniently get somewhere pretty quickly! I have a very large fenced yard at home! I do have a cat but he grew up with dogs since he was a kitten making him very used to them and paying no mind 😄

For new clients: for any potential bookings, please reach out at least three weeks prior your prospective dates with availability for M&G. All new guests must complete a Meet & Greet before boarding and daycare services** What does a stay with me & my family look like? For starters, we enjoy being around dogs and take great pride in showing love & affection to our own fur child as any parent would- making sure they are safe, healthy, and comfortable. So we know how your world circles around them too. So who am I? I'm a local dog mom that has moved back from living in NoVa. I'm pretty familiar with taking care of dogs considering I currently dote and center my life around a sweet 4yr old black lab mix named Sage and grew up with a couple Maltese fur babies. Within the past few years, I’ve helped family & friends with boarding, drop-ins, dog-walking, and house-sitting. I officially joined Rover in 2022 and have made some connections with some wonderful clients- some routinely, some occasionally, and some just once. Additionally, I’m a registered foster parent through the local shelter. One of the most rewarding experiences as a sitter or fur-friend is building a relationship with the fur babies and seeing them excited to come over. I am lucky to be working a full-time job at home with a flexible schedule that allows me to enjoy caring for pets. When staying at home with me and my family, your furry friend: - will have someone present as a caregiver, furry friend, and cuddle buddy - will have access to the backyard to potty or enjoy some outdoor sunshine - will have someone present for a lunchtime nice stroll in the neighborhood or ride for a pup-cup When visiting for a drop-in or walk at your home, you & your furry friend: - will have someone that respects your home, your sanctuary - will have a friend that will love to hang out with them, introduce them to some audiobooks, or explore some music - will have a caretaker that provides relief and detailed updates along with photos At home, I will be able to supervise pets full-time and have the added bonus of a fenced backyard which we regularly tend to. We have a crate on hand, extra bowls, pet bed/bedding, pet steps, and toys for the occasional overnight stay. I wash and sanitize these items on a regular basis so they are ready for friends. At your home, I honor your privacy and provide detailed reports of how time was spent with your fur-friend(s) during drop-ins and walks.
