Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Potomac Yard-Potomac Greens, Alexandria, VA

“Literally look no further than Andrea! This was my first time using Rover and it was so simple! She sent photos of each of my cats which was reassuring and also impressive since the grey one likes to hide. She also showed them playing and petting them which just put me at ease. Pretty sure she cleaned up a hairball or two which is above and beyond really. Boxes were clean and trash was even taken out. Andrea is my new go to for anytime I’m out of town! Thank you 🩷”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve petsat for neighbors, and I’m comfortable around all breeds. Growing up we always had big dogs (St. Bernards, bulldogs, and other large breeds) a few years ago we adopted my first small breed, a chihuahua named Moxley. I am currently working part time, but it’s overnight. I am available anytime from 9 am to 6 pm. I don’t drive, but I have a bike, and I can get anywhere in the city reliably. I love connecting with pets. Our dog Moxley was from a hoarding situation and it took a long time for him to start trusting people, the day he let me pick him up was one of the best days of my life. I have no problem walking, feeding, cleaning up after, or just spending time with anyone’s pet. I understand how important it is to trust the person that is looking after your pet, and I promise to do whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable while you’re away.

“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”

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.

“Holly was wonderful with our Macy and Oz! She was attentive and caring and was able to put Macy at ease, who is a very tentative pup, and takes a while to warm up. Would definitely use Holly again!!!”

About: Hello! I am currently pet-free, looking to get some experience with having animals in my and my family's lives. I will be the responsible party taking care of your pet, but plan to be assisted by my 9-year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals. We would love the chance to take care of your pet while you're away or during times when you need an extra hand for whatever reason. We love to play and snuggle as much as possible - if they're the snuggling type, of course! Weekend pet care is ideal for us, but we can make long weekends and longer stays work! We have no pets in our home, so your little one would get our full attention. I am able to travel around the Del Ray area to provide drop-in care or walks. If the pet stays with us, I do have a fenced in yard for small to medium dogs. I would follow the owner's preferences in terms of whether the pet prefers to sleep with people around (in which case they'd stay with me in my room), or not.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Ellen take care of my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats. She followed all of my care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure my cat was comfortable and well-loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear my cat was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. I came home to a clean space and a content kitty. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter, I highly recommend Ellen!”

About: I'm a full-time remote employee looking to provide care, affection, and attention to your pet(s)! I love all animals and am in a position to offer lots of companionship throughout the day. Family, friends, and neighbors have asked me to look after their pets since I was a child - a responsibility which I adored and was very grateful to have. Taking a work break to care for pets, whether it be checking in on a cat or taking a dog for a walk, is often my favorite part of the day! I look forward to continuing my pet sitting services through Rover :) Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs! I work from home Monday through Friday and have a flexible work schedule, so am able to care for pets throughout the day at most times. Your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance! I’ll do everything I can to make sure your cat or dog feels safe, loved, and cared for.

“Gracie was quick to reply to my request for a drop in visit and even came by to meet me and Aston prior to the scheduled date. She checked in and let me know he was good and everything was taken care of. I will definitely use her in the future. Thanks Gracie!”

“Katie took amazing care of my cats — feeding them, scooping the litterbox, playing with them, and sending me lots of pictures of them! My cats were very happy and healthy when I returned. I highly recommend Katie!”

“We felt stress-free knowing our cat was in Alexandra’s hands. Our cat is very skittish and doesn’t trust new people, but was letting Alexandra pet her only a few days into watching her! Every night, I looked forward to the photos and updates Alexandra would send. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!”

“This was my first booking with Katarina and she is AMAZING! Extremely detail oriented and followed my instructions well. She shared tons of pictures of my cat and detailed descriptions of what they did together during each visit. Great experience and would book again!”

“Jimena is great with our cats. They are 16 and 17 so we definitely needed someone caring and gentle and that’s exactly what she is. Highly recommend.”

“Hannah was awesome! She was very communicative, easy to work with, and left us many notes and pictures every day. It’s clear how much she loves animals and wants to shower them with love.”
