“Shauna was fantastic! She really set my mind at ease when taking care of Stella while I was away. She was always very prompt and caring. She even took the time to wash out her food bowls so I appreciated that also. I will definitely be asking her if she can pet sit again in the future!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with Nicole’s dedication and care with sitting for our kitties. I am usually anxious with leaving our cats since they are so used to humans being around but Nicole eased every single worry while we were away. She was very communicative, provided prompt updates, and went above and beyond while caring for our cats. We most definitely recommend booking her and we plan to book her again moving forward!”

“LaurieBeth did an amazing job with my two 20-pound dogs. Her care was only exceeded by her communication through Rover. I was incredibly lucky to find a caregiver like LaurieBeth on short notice. I was able to relax and enjoy a last-minute trip. I did not worry about my pups once. They were in great hands. I would hire LaurieBeth and plan to!”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.
“Caroyln was absolutely fantastic. My dog loved her. She was very thorough, understanding, professional and was just a joy to work with. My little Ziggy says she’s a dog whisper! She get 5 🌟’s from me and she’s Ziggy approved. I will only use her moving forward. Thanks for an outstanding job Carolyn!”

“Deb is wonderful about providing me updates on my pets, and ensuring that they are well taken care of during her drop in visits. I really appreciate her communication and help looking after my crew.”

“Laura was great with my two cats! One of my boys needs meds twice a day, and she administered everything perfectly. She was sweet and kind and even gave them a special treat on the last day. Highly recommend and will be calling on Laura again next time we travel!”

About: Since I was little, dogs have always been part of my life. They’ve been with me through moves, college years, and even rescue adventures—and one very good girl even played matchmaker and helped me meet my husband. I know how hard it can be to be away from your pet, and how much anxiety it can cause for both dogs and their humans. That’s why I love sending frequent photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time. I care for every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I’m a teacher, so I’m home early on weekdays and fully available on weekends. There is always someone at home, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I also have very active kids (teenager) who love pets and happily provide extra snuggles and attention to the dogs we babysit. I’m a runner and know many great, safe trails around Reston and Herndon, perfect for walks and exercise. We also live near the Town Center, so there are plenty of fun, dog-friendly places for your pup to explore. Your dog will get a great mix of activity, companionship, and love while staying with us. I’m very active and physically strong, which allows me to safely walk and handle dogs of different sizes in our area. We have access to many beautiful trails nearby, perfect for safe and enriching walks. By default, we take dogs on three walks per day, but if your dog needs more frequent potty breaks or extra exercise, we’re more than happy to accommodate their routine. My husband is also home and helps with walks and care, so your dog will always have multiple attentive adults making sure they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I live in an apartment surrounded by green spaces in a very pet-friendly neighborhood. Inside our home, there’s a cozy bed by a window with lots of activity—my dog Layla’s favorite spot to keep an eye on the neighborhood—and many dogs enjoy relaxing there too. Your dog will be in a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can truly feel at home.
“Leah took great care of my cat during a couple of weekend drop-in visits, including meeting him where he’s at when it comes to warming up to new people. She was also very responsive and kept me updated so that I wasn’t worried while I was out of town.”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job with my cats. She gave Ukelele the time he needed to warm up to her and was able to get him to play within two days! Would reach out to her again.”

“Kendall was very attentive and patient with Wookie and Butter Scotch. She definitely went the extra mile for them and was quick to communicate any issues. Highly recommended”

“Manasa is so sweet and thorough in caring for my babies! She asked questions before, during, and after to ensure all their needs (and mine) were met. She promptly notified me when they were not on their best behavior. The picture updated really provided me with a peace of mind and I’ve already booked her for my next pet care. Thank you again so much for everything!”

“Our pet Buddy takes time to meet new people. But when Buddy met Carl for the first time, he sniffed Carl and instantly connected with him and enjoyed Carl’s company. The next time we are in need of a pet sitter, we will definitely call Carl again.”
“A massive thank you to Jake for taking such great care of our kitties while we were away on our trip! We appreciated the daily updates with detailed descriptions of the visit, and also the photos he would include for us of our boys :) Jake is an extremely reliable, dependable and communicative sitter and we will be happy to work with him again in the future!”

Nicole is an expert cat sitter. She is reliable, provides great updates on my cats well being and also makes recommendations for enhanced care both whole i am home and at home. Most importantly spends quality time with my cat. He is always a happy boy upon my return.

Caroline was amazing with our 3 kitties. She took great care of them, kept us updated and sent the cutest pictures. We have one male cat who can be a little tricky, but he took a liking to her very quickly and she knew how to handle him. She gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter.

LaurieBeth did an amazing job with my two 20-pound dogs. Her care was only exceeded by her communication through Rover. I was incredibly lucky to find a caregiver like LaurieBeth on short notice. I was able to relax and enjoy a last-minute trip. I did not worry about my pups once. They were in great hands. I would hire LaurieBeth and plan to!
