“Kay and Marc were fantastic! They took excellent care of my two dogs and treated them like family. Kay updated me every day and sent pictures. I will continue to use Marc and Kay every time I’m away. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Kay and Marc!”
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our two pups for over a week! Communication was great, and she consistently sent photos to keep us updated. I could tell the pups enjoyed their stay with Michelle, and we'll definitely try to book with her again in the future.”
“1st time using this service and was extremely happy with the care Tamara provided. She was accommodating to a last minute booking and her communication was quick, responsive and thorough. I received multiple updates, pictures and videos. My puppy had a blast playing with her dogs and came home happy and exhausted.”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! My dogs were happy, well cared for, and I received regular updates with photos while I was away. It’s clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. highly recommend! 🐾”

“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bella! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”

About: I understand just how much our pups mean to us - they're family! Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, each with their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I love getting to know what makes each pup special and providing gentle, attentive care that helps them feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pup with the same patience, kindness, and affection I give my own. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible to allow for regular potty breaks, playtime and meal schedules. I provide calm, clean, and cozy environment, with a fully fenced yard where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I also send regular photos and updates throughout their stay.
“Mariel was fantastic. We knew our Minnie was in good hands. We received daily pictures and updates showing us how quickly Minnie settled in to her routine at their house. We knew she was being showered with love while we were away. Awesome experience! We would highly recommend Mariel as a pet sitter.”
“I would highly recommend Aime. She watched our dog Zuko for 3 days and was amazing. As a rescue he can be reactive and not always the easiest to walk and we felt very comfortable with her. She did a great job of keeping us up to date with plenty of pictures too.”
“Kristi and Drew take such good care of our dog! They treat her like she’s one of the family, and I never have to worry about anything while we’re on vacation. I highly recommend them!”
“Elizabeth and her family were great with my husky. They were flexible with my situation and ensured my dog was in a comfortable place. They took him to the dog park and treated him as part of their own family. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Cadence was excellent and took great care of Charlie. She provided constant updates and was very flexible in our scheduling needs. Will definitely book with her again! Thanks Cadence!”
“First time working with Stephanie and she was awesome! She was also very close by. I would definitely ask for Stephanie’s help as long as she’s available!!! Thank you Stephanie!!”
“Finding Vincent on Rover.com was such a blessing for our short vacation. After visiting the kennel, I knew I would be more comfortable if our Westie stayed at someone's house, since that is what she is used to. Vincent was quick to respond and set up a meeting to see if it would work and it did. She loved the huge backyard and the personal attention. The pictures and videos he sent of her playing were a fun daily surprise. We look forward to having Vincent watch her again when we travel.”

I had a great experience with Erin and her family while they took care of my dog, Thor, for an entire week. They treated him with care and attention, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands while I was away as she kept me posted every day with pictures and telling me how it was going. They made the whole experience stress-free. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure Thor was well cared for. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I would absolutely book with them again!
I don't know where to begin. I guess it all started even before the boarding - excellent communication, asked relevant questions, and just demonstrated overall enthusiasm and care for the boarding. During the stay, she provided pictures and updates, and again, just excelled in communication which made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was also very flexible with me with the pickup which I valued. 10/10, don't hesitate to book with her!
We love Lilly and her family! They always take such great care of our dog. They have been watching her off and on for years, back when she was young and now that she’s older and has oral meds to take. She is always well cared for and it’s hard to get her to leave at the end of her stay!
I can't say enough great things about Debra! As a first-time Rover customer, I was a little nervous about leaving my two pups, but she quickly eased all my concerns. From the very beginning, she was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves animals. During the meet-and-greet, she treated my dogs like family! My travel plans included flying, and I ended up dealing with delays on my way home. Even with the unexpected schedule change, Debra remained incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Debra is the person to call. She has definitely become my go-to sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again!
Veronica was great with our dog. It was most important to us that she only took a single client at a time. She has two small dogs as well who get along very well with other dogs, including ours. She was very responsive and engaged and sent us daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring to us while we were on vacation.
We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️
MC is THE BEST! I have a senior dog and I know that MC is experienced with senior dogs and every picture I get shows me that Jezabel is so calm and relaxed. She was super flexible with me in accommodating some additional days that I had requested before the original booking. Also, she lives in a place with lots of grass and little hills for doggies to climb. MC is my go-to sitter for my sweet girl, and I highly recommend using her to care for your baby.
Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Occoquan home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Occoquan.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Occoquan sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
