“Molly is the best cat sitter we've had from Rover! I felt at ease during our vacation knowing our cats were in her care. She paid lots of attention to our kitties and played with them. She arrived on time and communicated very thoroughly! 100% will be booking her again in the future!”

About: I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I had a lab growing up and have rescued 3x dogs since. I am off work this month, so I am hoping to help you take amazing care of your dogs near Old Town! I am off work all of April so I’m frequently available! Same day bookings accepted! I am available at all times during the month of April. I am comfortable around all types of dogs. I can run with or extensively play with your high energy dog if requested! For the more senior, sleepy, and smaller dogs, I give great pets!
“Cynthia was great with our cat! It was our first time using Rover and she made it a very easy experience. She's super communicative and kept us in the loop the whole time. Would definitely book with her in the future.”

“Hilary is fantastic! She sends wonderful photos and leaves great notes on Josie. She is communicative, reliable, and came to help when I needed her last minute. Highly recommend!”

“Shane is a wonderful sitter. He was very communicative and I felt very confident that my kitty was in good hands with him. He made sure to let me know how she was doing while I've been gone, sent very cute pictures, and let me know how she was doing. Highly recommend, and I plan on asking for him to sit again in the future”

“Julie always goes above and beyond for our furbabies. We’ve worked with her a lot on another app so I hand-picked her for a 4 day trip when I saw her on Rover. She was highly punctual and communicative and followed all instructions. I’ll be booking with her again!”

“Andrea was wonderful! She had excellent communication and checked in every time on schedule. She also asked questions to make sure Charlie’s care exceeded expectations! I will definitely be keeping her in mind for the future!”

“Our second time having Erin check on our two cats was just as great as the first! She is truly wonderful, always communicative and sent lots of great photos. Our cats love her! Thank you, Erin!”

“Abbey took great care of my two cats while I was away! She was very communicative, sent many photos, and even stayed longer than necessary. The cats loved all of the attention they got from Abbey!”

“Rachel took great care of Salem, who is a pretty mellow guy. She was especially helpful when we had an issue with our door unexpectedly, and communicated all challenges. We are so grateful for her!”

About: I’ve had a dog almost all my life, very comfortable with big or small dogs and whatever their walking/ feeding/ playing needs are. Can adjust accordingly. I am available for walks either early in the morning, after 5 pm, and anytime on the weekends! I am working full time but given enough heads up I can adjust my schedule around work. I live in an apartment which is very spacious. There is grass downstairs but I would typically walk a long the building and into the neighborhood nearby.
“Elena took extra care of my cat while I was away on a business trip. She was very kind and thoughtful and went out of her way to go and check on my cat when my flight was cancelled on my way back home. I will definitely rebook Elena in the future!”

“It has been so great having Allison to drop in on our dogs during the day! She is consistent and communicative. It definitely is a weight off our shoulders knowing the dogs get some play time while we are at work.”


About: Life long dog owner with experience and reliability. I currently have an 8 year old medium-sized Goldendoodle named Simon. He’s my best bud and is always ready for a walk or car ride for any adventure. I’ve owned several types of dogs throughout my life such as labradors, Lhasa Apsos, basset hounds, and mix breeds. I believe daily exercise and interaction is essential for dogs and it brings me so much joy to interact with a dog. I have experience with all dog sizes and have trained several puppies over the years. I’m very comfortable with older dogs as well and can give them medication if required. I spend my late afternoons and evenings coaching soccer, which means I have a good amount of free time during the late mornings and early afternoons to walk your dog or just give them a visit. I will take the upmost care for your dog during walks and closely monitor their behavior and interactions with others to ensure they enjoy their exercise and time outside.
About: As a pet-owner and rover-user myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust take care of your pets when you aren't available. I am passionate about giving dogs happy highlights to each and every day, and I love to play with them and take them on long walks to sniff and enjoy the outdoors. As a work-from-home employee, I am often free during work hours to pay your pet a visit or take them on a nice walk to help break up the day while you are away! I can be free on evenings and weekends as well, and would be happy to spend time playing with your pet and giving them happy moments each and every day while they wait for you to return. My dog loves to play indoors, which means I am extra vigilant that the house is safe for him should he get zoomies and run around the furniture. I would be careful to provide that safe environment for your dog as well, in your home or mine.
“Thomas went above and beyond with our girls! He spent lots of time playing/petting, sent great pictures and gave thorough reports. All of this gave us peace of mind that they were in good hands while we were out of the country. I’d highly recommend him!”

“Alexandra was dependable and had great communication! She watched our 2 cats for 5 days and made us feel at ease leaving the cats in her care. She did a great job - thank you!”

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).
Old Town North pet parents share their Rover experiences
Al is truly an amazing sitter. My cat Titi is a happy camper when he is dropping in to visit with her. She’s getting older and sometimes has trouble with the litter box and Al is always so thorough with cleaning and monitoring for any changes in her eating and drinking. Thanks, Al!

Naomylee truly is amazing. Without a doubt. I managed to book her on short notice when I had to leave town for a wedding. Unfortunately, I caught the flu the day before my trip, but Naomylee went above and beyond to support and care for Remy, despite everything. I highly recommend her for watching over, walking, or just checking in on your loved ones!

Gratitude to Megan for cat sitting our old scaredy cat for a week. Megan provided daily drop-in visits to feed, scoop the litter box and take in the mail. We received prompt communication after every visit and even though our cat hid (nothing personal - she does this for all cat sitters!), we knew she was happy and well-taken care of in Megan's care. Will book again.

Emileo was wonderful!! he really treated our little lady like she was his own baby. he took videos of what was going on and spent real quality time with her. we were so at ease and not worried at all. we will definitely use Emileo again, and absolutely recommend him to anyone else!!

Byul and her husband did another fantastic job watching my kitties! We were out for 2 weeks so I was quite nervous being gone for so long, but Byul was very communicative and put many of my worries at ease. All instructions were followed and they made sure all their areas were cleaned when a few accidents came up. I came home to 2 happy kitties!
