“Lindsey was a wonderful companion for our very particular dog Kona. Her calm demeanor is fantastic! Lindsey took great care of both Kona and our house. I highly recommend her services.”

“This was our second time using Katie and once again, we could not be more pleased. This visit showed us just how responsible and caring Katie is (we already knew this of course, but this visit made it even more impressed). Katie is ALWAYS consistent with her communication and photos, is super flexible with scheduling and overall just a wonderful sitter. We love Katie and will absolutely use her again !!! :)”

“Brianna did a fantastic job of sitting with my crazy pups! One of them can be fear aggressive (bluffs a lot) and Brianna was great with her. So great I got a picture of them cuddling on the sofa the first day! The other pup is super people shy and warmed to Brianna immediately. When she didn't want to eat (which I warned about), Brianna reached out immediately for ideas on how to get her to eat. She didn't wait! I really appreciated that. I gave her a couple of suggestions and she got her to eat! Brianna is fearless and conscientious. She clearly loves pet sitting. I highly recommend her!”

“Start to finish, Laurie was wonderful to work with; great communicator plus attentive, kind, and patient with my spunky pup (& he’s a handful!) Highly recommend for dependable, no-stress caretaking.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets owned by family and friends for over 10years. Specially experienced taking care of senior dogs and cats (meds, special diet) I’m the person who says hi to any dog walking on the street. I took a training course to help anxious dogs. Be sure I’ll take care of your pet as of my own and will send you many pics. Fresh water bowls, refresh litter boxes, food, plays, treats, you name it. I’m near old town Alexandria and while I navigate a career transition (ex federal contractor), I’ll be very happy to take care of your furry babies. I can do overnight stays, or walk them through the day. I love walking and I’ll be happy to take your pup for a walk, play with them, treats, and praise them. I don’t sit on my place as I have a beautiful 13yo cocker spaniel. If you could see my dog, you would know that I’m an animal lover. I have a 13yo cocker spaniel and I know how important is to have someone that takes good care of our pets. I don’t do overnight on my place or bring my dog with me when taking care of another pet. I’ll always walk your dog with a leash, pay attention they don’t eat something they shouldn’t eat on the street, give them their meds, fresh bowl of water, play, praise them for being good pets. I’ll send you photos of your pet to keep you updated.
“We’re so grateful to have found Nicole; our dogs genuinely love her. Everyone will miss her as we relocate, and we’d highly recommend her to anyone who asked”

“Cassie was absolutely amazing with our old rescue!!!! We had a family wedding to go to out of town then got hit with the snow storm and she stayed an extra day to make sure our girl was taken care of and communicated so well that I didn’t have to stress at all about the situation. Honestly we couldn’t be more grateful for her taking her time to understand our dog and take care of her.”

“Audrianna was a fantastic sitter for my senior kitty, Jackson! She sent pictures and updates often as requested, provided tons of play time, and most importantly, I came home to a happy boy. Highly recommend!!”

“Erica has quickly become our big guy’s new best friend! She is great with our pups, filling their high needs of love and attention, and sends regular updates while we’re away.”

About: Hi! My name is Jess. I live in the Braddock Road/Old Town North area in a very dog friendly building with a dog park. I’m originally from CA where I used to walk dogs and dog sit while in college. I have grown up around dogs all my life and would love to spoil your dog with love. I love cuddling and giving rubbing belly’s. Please know that I will walk your dog and make sure it is happy and safe while in my supervision. You can also count on me to take cute photos of your pup. I’m guilty of a photo feed full of dog pics haha. I‘m excited to meet your dog!! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. Best, Jess Bright and early, I usually head down to the dog park with my dog for a morning potty break and allow her to run around. I work from home so I’m able to take breaks in between my day and head down to the dog park. Once I’m off work, I like to go down and stay at the dog park for about 30 minutes so the dogs can play. Then, I usually do an evening walk with my dog. I also make sure to take my dog out in the evening before bed. The dog park in my building has a fenced dog park that I can take your dog so they can run around freely. I take my dog down daily, so I’m very familiar with all the dogs and their owners.
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”

“With Wayne, both my pooch and my home were in excellent hands while I was away for several nights. I also appreciated his responsiveness to my texts and the daily updates and photos every morning. A stress-free experience that I look forward to repeating on my next trip!”

“Zhanna was amazing! It was so nice to meet her in person and to have her meet our dog before we left. She did a great job making our dog comfortable and adjust to her in the house. When we got home, our house looked great and the dog was happy and healthy. Thrilled to have Zhanna watch our Finley again!”

“Nathan took amazing care of my dog. This was the first time I had used Rover for an overnight stay, and it’s been an great success. I’m thankful to have a reliable sitter that my dog loves. Couldn’t recommend Nathan more highly.”

“Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!”

“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”

“Alayza was great! My husband and I had to leave town quickly for a funeral and Alayza came over the same day I put in my request to Rover so we could meet each other. I have a 16 yr. old Border Collie with kidney disease and a complicated diet and a need for two good walks a day. Alayza was willing to take our request and stayed at our house for some nights. When we returned after 5 days, the house was spick and span but more importantly, we have never seen our dog in such good spirits on a return from a trip!! We are so grateful for Alayza and plan to use her again in the future.”

Northeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elesha gave our senior dog excellent care while we were away for a weekend. Throughout the entire trip she provided lots of great updates and photos and was also careful to follow all our instructions. We came back to our pup relaxed and happy! We highly recommend her!

Katie, Katie, Katie! The other dog whisperer. From the moment Bow and Alannah met her, they were in love, mesmerized. Katie was the best sitter we've ever entrusted our fur babies to and we HIGHLY recommend her. Don't hesitate. Katie is wonderful! Thank you, Katie. You're the best!

Nikole took care of our two puppies for 5 days, she dis an excellent job sending us updates and pictures of them while we were on vacation. She stayed in our home every night so the puppies don’t stay alone during the day she kept the schedule we requested her to follow. I will definitely book her again.

Tabby has been our dogsitter for 4 years now! We are so grateful to have found her. As our girl has gotten a bit older, Tabby has not missed a beat adjusting her care to our dog's changing needs (medicine, etc). We feel at ease knowing our dog and home are being watched over by such a kind person!

This is the second time Ahmed has stayed with Bella. Ahmed went above and beyond in making sure Bella was taken care of while we were away. He made a trip to our house before the stay to make sure he understood her medicine and feeding routine. He was very communicative and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Also there was a problem with many of the smoke alarms in the house and Ahmed went the extra mile to take the units down to stop them from making the alarm. I couldn’t recommend Robin and Ahmed more highly. Kind and good people.
