“Lucy had a fun day with Russ and the two resident dogs. She loved being outside in the yard. Russ was easy to work with and very accommodating even when I had unexpected delays. Lucy can’t wait to come back!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 6 years! From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pup like family. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once, administering medications if needed, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. My experience includes walking, bathing, feeding, and even a bit of basic training for good manners and leash behavior! I currently work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! Your dog will get personalized care, cuddles, and plenty of playtime when they’re with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a fenced-in dog park for both small and large dogs—perfect for playtime! Your pup will have great company with my sweet 11-year-old West Highland Terrier who is easy going loves making new friends. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: Hi! I'm Emily, and lived with a dog since I was four years old. My sweet resident dog Poppy and I would love to take care of and play with your pup while you're away! I have a large fenced in yard to play and relax in, and morning and afternoon walks are almost always in our schedule. As a dog mom for about 6 years, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs, and can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I am also a volunteer and occasional foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and previously volunteered at the MSPCA. I am on a hybrid work schedule, and typically am in the office Mondays and Wednesdays. I walk the dogs before work and after work, and when I'm home I'll have more than enough time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I'll make sure your pup has a fun and safe day! We'll have playtime, walks, and cuddles. Fresh water and a comfy dog bed (or sofa!) are always available.

About: I have a variety of pet care experiences that set me apart from other sitters. I was a volunteer puppy raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation for two years. During this time I raised an 8-week old puppy and trained her to be a service dog. I have experience in potty training, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, and reactivity training. I have also fostered animals for local shelters including a bonded pair of cats, a 4-week old puppy, and a senior dog. I have experience in administering a variety of medications for both cats and dogs and am comfortable doing so. I have also personally owned a cat and currently own a young dog! I currently work a 9-5 job during the week. I work remotely 2 days a week and am available on weekends. I work very close to home, so I am able to come home during days I am in the office to care for pets if needed. I have an open apartment with room to play and snuggle with your pet. I am right by a park and lots of green space to play with your pet. I am also in a very friendly neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I have extra supplies if needed including a crate. I am happy to accommodate special requests if needed. I can also drop by and take care of your pet(s) at your home if you prefer!

About: Experienced, energetic, attentive and loving dog mom, who has raised several much loved and well cared for dogs over the years with my adult children. I will walk your fur baby in my Old Town, very walkable neighborhood, every 2-4 hours, providing lots of love and care😊 I am planning for an early retirement with the Dept of State. I live in a modern condo, located in Old Town, Alexandria. I am available for doggie daycare and boarding in my home, Monday - Sunday. I have lots of green space right outside my door and a park across the street. We will take neighborhood strolls, and hit the dog park. I will provide treats throughout the day and evening - providing photos along the way. I have blankets, doggie beds, games, toys and a crate, if needed. I will do my best to follow current habits you have established in your home for consistency. I do not have any pets at home. Tender care and safety are my number one concern. I will only board 2 dogs at a time, the only possible exception would be d/o & p/u overlap. I have lots of green space right outside my door and a park across the street, perfect for free play! Also will provide a discount for long term boarding, (1 month or more).

“Simon is so wonderful with our pup Rosie! He is thoughtful with his updates throughout the day and is attentive with our anxious pup! We are extremely grateful to have found him to watch Rosie!”

“Samantha was great with my pup. I had a previous bad experience with a Rover where my dog was pretty shaken up for days after returning. This was not the case with Samantha. She has renewed my faith in Rover. Theo came home tired but happy. I will definitely be using her for future daycare days/overnight stays when I am away.”

About: I have previously stayed at friend’s houses to pet sit for them and have taken in friend’s dogs to stay with us for the past year. I’m currently I full time student with Mondays being my longest days out of my apartment but Tuesday-Thursday I am home before 3 and Friday-Sunday I am home all day and available to be there for your pets. My apartment building has its own indoor dog park and I have my dog and cat to keep your pets company. If your pets prefer being on their own we also have a guest room they can play comfortably on their own.

“Abigail was incredible! It was my first time using Rover for the “doggy day care” and I’m definitely sticking with it. Abigail kept me posted throughout the day with personalized updates. Boba and Mila got along so well! I always feel a bit anxious leaving Mila behind while I’m at work, but I felt so much better knowing she was in Abigail’s care. I’m so grateful it worked out, and I’ll definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Angela — a lifelong animal lover with 15+ years of real-world pet care. I’ve raised my own dog since puppyhood and have cared for a senior dog who needs extra support, including harness walks and structured 3-hour outdoor time for an entire summer (twice). I also have a cat of my own and spent six months nursing a sick foster cat with dedicated, loving care until she made a full recovery. I know what it takes to keep pets comfortable, calm, and cared for — especially when they need extra attention. I offer more than just pet sitting — I offer peace of mind. Pet care is a part of my everyday life. As someone who works from home, I’m able to provide consistent love, attention, and structure throughout the day. From scheduled walks and playtime to medication and cuddle breaks, caring for our furry friends is already built into my routine. Whether it’s sticking to a senior dog’s schedule or making sure a cat gets their cozy window nap undisturbed, I’m here — present, reliable, and fully tuned into their needs! I’ve cared for animals my whole life — including my 15+ year-old dog and a senior pup needing extra support with harness walks and daily routines. I also have a cat, including one who’s so comfy she lays belly-up and is well-socialized with both dogs and other cats. I recently nursed a foster cat back to health with daily meds, patience, and lots of love. I work from home, so your pets will get full-time care, cuddles, and attention!

“I could not be happier with the love and care Daniel showed to my pup during doggy day care! Daniel shared multiple pictures throughout the day and I could see Deacon beaming in all the pictures! I had complete peace of mind that he was in good hands, which was such a relief after multiple stressful doggy care care experiences. Deacon came home happy and exhausted after playing with his pup all day and receiving multiple walks. He loved spending so much time in their backyard and was spoiled with the birthday treats! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
