“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”


“Thank you so much for looking after my Chewy! He came back very happy and Well taken care off! I got 2 pictures of how he was doing and was told how he was when I came to pick him up. Would definitely rebook again whenever I get the chance!”


“We had a great experience with Saroj! We were able to drop Chewie off early for our day trip, and Saroj sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”


About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I’ve owned breeds with bold personalities, including my current Airedale Terrier, Elvis, who definitely keeps things lively. My Scottish Terrier, Scarlett, was one of the best dogs I’ve ever had—loyal, loving, and full of charm. While I don’t offer in-home boarding due to having young children, I specialize in reliable drop-in visits and dog walks. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk to burn off some energy, or some companionship while you're away, I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to their needs. I’m calm, patient, and tuned in to what each dog needs to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family and always provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I’m already used to structured walks, feeding schedules, and giving dogs the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits and walks. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and comfortable. I understand that dogs feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I follow your instructions closely to make sure things like feeding, walks, and playtime happen just the way your pet expects. I always check that doors and gates are secure, make sure your pet has fresh water, and keep a close eye on their behavior and energy during each visit. Whether it’s a slow-paced walk for a senior dog or a game of fetch in the yard, I take the time to meet your pet’s specific needs. Trust and communication are important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”



“Stephen is extremely responsive and so accommodating for a new young pup and first time dog owner. He has a wealth of knowledge and provides helpful tips and updates. Lenny LOVES playing with Lucky- so thankful to have this duo!”


“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”


About: I have had a passion and love for taking care of pets since I was a little girl. In my adult life, I still carry on this passion greatly. In the last 20 years, I have a puppy who 2 years old. She is so well behaved and loves playing with other dogs! Because of this, I have a lot of understanding with dogs and their natural behaviors! I have also had some experience taking care of pets for my friends and family! It’s safe to say that you can call me the dog whisperer. I am currently a teacher working from home. Therefore, I am pretty much available everyday to take care of your precious doggies. I am very flexible! During the covid 19 pandemic, my family and I are being very cautious, following social distancing guidelines and taking all the necessary precautions to ensure health and safety! I have a large fenced backyard where your dog can play, two individual crates if the dog needs to be crated, and my wonderful 2 year old dog to keep your furry friend company! I take our pup for a walk at least twice a day. Therefore, if your doggy needs a walk we can surely take them. Taking care of pets is a natural thing for me. I can always find time to take care of them. I plans ahead of time to fit the next day to accommodate my chores, work and pets needs. I make sure to always watch the dogs that I watch and supervise play, as well as make sure they receive all the attention and care that they need. I will treat your furry friend like a family member!

“I need someone last minute to take care of my dog due to work schedule and Penjulee came through quick! She responded fast, accepted my care, and I paid right away. She kept me updated and sent me pics and videos of my dog. I appreciated her very much for taking good care of my big boy. Would definitely recommend!!”


“Mila was outstanding! My dog was recently brought home from a shelter and Mila was not only kind and understanding but my dog didn't even want to leave her when it was time to come home. She took plenty of pics so I knew the dog was okay and her timeliness is out of this world!!! She did pickups and drop offs on time and had great communication the whole time. We will definitely book her again!”


About: My fiancé and I have been taking care of our family pets and pet-sitting for neighbors since we were kids! I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rodents to cats to corgis to german shepherds and more! Currently, we are in the process of training a service dog and raising our cat mandy. When I was in high school, I also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and learned a lot about pet care there. We are excited to meet and take care of your fur babies! I currently work part time so we are able to take care of your pets whenever they need throughout the day! We have a dog of our own, so they can have a playmate and we have a big yard for them to run around in. At our home, we have a large fenced in yard for pups to play, as well as lots of toys and treats. At your home, we will be sure to follow any and all instructions you provide for taking care of your pet as well as your home!

About: Hi i’m Gairie! I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, I’ve taken care of a variety of ages and sizes and breeds of dogs. and i’m looking forward to giving your furry friends the most fun and comfortable time while you’re away!!! Im currently doing online school in college, so I will have plenty of time to give your pups all the attention they need, this also goes for potty breaks, eating and things of that nature! While I don’t have a backyard my community does offer a dog park, and i’m more than happy to take your pups out on walks for the potty or to play!

About: Hello, my name is Jackie, I am 39 years old, I recently moved to the Woodbridge area and I am currently studying pre-med at Nvcc. I am quite passionate about animal rights and animal welfare! I have spent time in the past volunteering at the Alexandria Animal Welfare League, and I have loved being around animals all my life. I have also worked as a long term foster for TRU Rescue in Maryland. My very first job was starting a dog walking business at just 9 years old. Since then I have owned quite a few of my own pets including many dogs. I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs. I love spending time going on walks outside every day as a part of my meditation practice, and I’d love to include some more fuzzy friends along with me while I walk. I also really enjoy having the dogs with me inside for cool down/chill sessions afterward while I study and listen to healing tones as I work! I have 2 very small chihuahua dogs living with me at the moment, one is 6lbs and one is 7lbs. I am currently taking off work to focus on my studies. I have flexibility to make time for walks and playtime for any animals in my care. I am available for dog walking within the Woodbridge area. Please message me to work out details on possible distance I will travel. Dog boarding is possible after a meet and greet establishes that your dog gets along ok with my two little ones. They do well with dogs that are not too hyper or are not too young. Male dogs must be fixed.

About: I've been pet sitting and caring for animals of all types - dogs, cats, and horses - since I was 15 years old. I have had Louie, my German Shepherd, since he was a puppy and trained him myself to be a (mostly) obedient, friendly giant. I adopted my senior German Shepherd, Wolf, when he was 8 years old and have endless patience for pups that tend to have a mind of their own! Happy to work with pups and cats of any size! My schedule is currently very flexible. Chances are, if I'm not available, I can adjust my schedule to ensure your fur family is well taken care of. I have a fenced-in yard and two pups that would be the perfect playmates for your medium (35+ lb) and large pups. They have plenty of space to run around and are always happy to have new friends to play with!

Potomac Mills dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again

This was our first time using Anna, and she took great care of my Chloe! Chloe was right at home with Anna and her family, which enabled me to relax and have a nice trip to the Lake. She communicated promptly and sent me pics throughout Chloe’s stay. I will definitely use Anna again!

Dana was amazing with my 1-year-old Doberman, who struggles with separation anxiety. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I came to pick him up, he was completely relaxed and clearly happy in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Cheri was the perfect caregiver. My miniature schnauzer, Maci was recently diagnosed with diabetes and we needed a sitter last minute to attend a wedding. Cheri gave her dinner followed by her insulin shot and took great care of her. Plus she sent me photos throughout the evening of their time together. Super grateful - highly recommend !!

Kelly was kind, considerate, and attentive to everything Alfie needed. She will be a regular for us. We would definitely recommend her. She took the time to get to know our dog and his needs and met them. She is perfect with Alfie and we are so happy we found her!

Joel.B did well. My pets were returned in the same condition I left them. If your a pet parent with seperation anxiety and need repetitive updates then Joel isnt for you. If you need an affordable convient pet sitter then he is your guy. My only knock is he wasnt up yet when I arrived, but what young man is at that time. Would definitely use his service again in the future.
