“Trent did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! He gave us great updates and we knew she was in good hands. We’ll definitely reach back out to him when we need another sitter.”


“As always, Carole was prompt, professional and engaging with my girls. She went above and beyond, checking on their automatic litter box to make sure it was working (it wasn't, so she fixed it). Highly recommend Carole and will definitely rebook in the future.”


“Christina has always been an amazing sitter for my pets! She is always reliable and very communicative if anything seems out of sorts. She has also been very attentive to my pet’s needs. I would recommend Christina to anyone for their pet sitting needs. Thank you Christina!”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, if it wasn’t me helping out friends or family with their pets, it was my own. I have 2 of my own large dogs and have had several cats in the past. I currently work fully remote and have an extremely flexible schedule. I have 2 large dogs of my own, so I’m not new to animals in any way. I will treat your pet(s) like they are my own and will respect your home in the process. Whatever they need, they will get! 😀

About: Have fostered, owned, and cared for dogs most of my life. Work from home in a townhouse and am flexible with any size dog care. I work from home, so out of home walks I schedule before/after work and/or at lunch time. Dogs being boarded, walks are more frequent/flexible. We can go to a dog park after work time (if allowable by owner). Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a loving, secure, and stress-free environment where your furry friend can thrive. Whether we’re enjoying playtime, going on walks, or snuggling up for quiet moments, you can rest assured that your pet will feel right at home. I always use safe, pet-friendly practices and keep a close eye on their well-being. I understand how important trust is when it comes to caring for your beloved pets. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind every step of the way. My goal is to create a nurturing and fun experience for your pet while making your life easier.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and love getting to know their personalities. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and demeanors and look forward to becoming friends with your pup! I am currently working as a teacher, and am looking for a summer/weekend gig. I am also available after school hours or early mornings to take care of your companion. I will ensure all instructions are followed and make a habit of communicating frequently with owners unless they prefer otherwise. I am happy to send pictures and videos whenever requested.

About: Hi! My name is Holland, and I am a recent college graduate. I have a remote job in Northern Virginia and take care of fur babies on the side. I absolutely love animals and treat them with respect and care. I will treat your pet like I would my own🥰 I have a remote job with a very flexible schedule. I have great availability and am always free on the weekends to pet sit. If your home has wifi I can keep your pets company for long periods of time. I usually will be given a code or key for the home to enter when the client is not home. That is how I let out the animals to be walked and to feed them.

About: My entire life I have always had such a love for all animals. I love to be very sweet to them and know ways to not look dominant or intimidating when meeting a new pet. I love animals; I have worked in dog shelters and also have had a few pets, including my 14 year old beagle who I love dearly. My friends and neighbors have asked me to watch their pets or walk their dogs and I always enjoy doing it and feel comfortable! I have plenty of time that I have available during the weekday and weekend. I am a very flexible person that is able to switch up my schedule when needed. I love to keep pets entertained by playing with them, being sweet, or just being loving to them. I feed my pets at home on a schedule and whenever I have watched people’ pets I feed them exactly how I am instructed. I make sure pets are safe and happy and feeling comfortable with me.

About: I share my home with two dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and quirks. Whether your pup loves long, adventurous walks or prefers a slower sniff-around-the-block, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I am not currently working, so my schedule is flexible. If you need someone to fill in last minute, your friendly neighbor will be on her way :) As a fellow dog mom, I prioritize my dogs’ safety and happy walk time. My service will provide pictures and details of how the walk went so you can see regular updates of your happy pup! You can count on me for safe, reliable walks, plenty of love, and a friendly face your dog will look forward to seeing.

About: I am a stay at home Mom to 3 children (6,14 & 16) and 1 dog (Huck, 10) and I adore caring for others. I grew up with multiple pets and am positive that I can help look after your lovable furry friend, using a kind and gentle, yet confident, approach. As a stay at home Mom, I am primarily available during school hours Monday through Friday each week for your pet care or dog walking needs. I am flexible though and very happy to discuss early morning, after hours or weekend assistance. I am available to take your pup on a walk and/or give him or her attention and/or a meal & fresh water in the comfort of your home.

About: I am a shih tzu owner and I love all animals. I have major experience with small and medium size dogs and they will have a great time wagging their tail walking outside or playing with my own bebe if you wish! I work from home everyday so my schedule is relatively flexible in the morning (before 9 am) and late afternoons (usually after 3), and I can make time for the evenings too If you are boarding your dog at my house, I do ask for hyper allergenic types of dogs because I’m slightly allergic. And they can stay with me in my living room while I work and play with dog, or if you have special request they can stay in my fenced backyard too. If I do drop in, I’ll do what you ask.

About: Hi! I will take care of your fur-baby as if they were my own. While I am new to Rover, I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I have a clean and quiet home where your baby will get my undivided attention as I only care for one pet at a time. I have a wonderful dog-friendly, safe neighborhood for walks and a nearby dog park. If I have to leave the house your pet will come with me, if they like car rides, or they will have free-reign of the house - unless you prefer them in their crate or placed in a safe space in the house. Your dog must be current on distemper and rabies vaccinations and must provide a copy of their Vet’s certificate. I currently work from home except Tuesdays and Thursdays but can be flexible. Drop off is after 8am and pickup is by 8pm, unless otherwise negotiated. Walks and meals can be adjusted according to your pets routine. I have no pets of my own currently. I can crate your pet if they need it and I offer a quiet, loving and calm environment.

Yichen M.
“Yichen is one of the most loving pet caregivers I know. She treats her sweet dog, Ube, like family and she does the same with my two doggies, Teddy and Freddie. Every time she’s around them, you can see how much she genuinely adores animals. She’s patient, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make pets feel safe and loved. Teddy is more playful and hands on and Freddie is more reserved. Yichen always knows how to handle each of them based on personality and needs. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like her own - even if it is just for an afternoon walk!”
