“One of a kind! Kendall is incredibly reliable and a wonderful communicator. We felt our animals were in good hands the entire week. Last minute our cat got an infection and she didn’t bat an eye to administering his medication daily. Our cats were both relaxed and happy when we got home, plus the dishes were done and the house was tidy!”

“Emily stayed with our pup while we were away for our first anniversary trip. She is, without a doubt, the best sitter we have ever had for Kobe. Not only did she send pictures every day, she took him on walks at the park, monitored his eating habits, brought in our mail, and came to the rescue when the breaker flipped and AC went out. We came home to a calm and happy pup! We are so grateful for her and trust she’ll be great with your pets too. Kobe can’t wait until he sees her again 🥰”

“Triston was incredible! We had to book last minute and Triston stepped up to take care of our 2 dogs and 4 cats! I will definitely be booking with Triston in the future!!”

“Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10”

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.
About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

“Maria was very communicative and did not hesitate to ask any questions which made me feel more comfortable her first time house/dog sitting! She left the place spotless, would have never known she was there! Won't hesitate to hire again.”


“Andrew was wonderful with our Mega Dane , Max and older girl, Bella. He was dependable and cognizant of the our fur babies’ needs. The house was neat and straight on our return. The pups enjoyed their activities with him and were disappointed when he didn’t show up the next day! Max runs to the door when I ask where’s Andrew! It was a very positive experience and we will definitely ask for his help again. Thank you Andrew.”
“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”


“Celeste was great with our menagerie of somewhat quirky animals. We were out of cell service for the majority of our booking, but I appreciated coming back to pictures and happy animals. They were respectful if the space. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Mitch was great! He took good care of my dog while I was out of town and was easy to communicate with. He shared updates while I was gone and I would definitely recommend him and use his services again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also frequently pet sit for family members, which has given me experience caring for different pets with their own personalities and routines. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, feeding, or just giving them attention, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a student and work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care! Although I don't live with my dog anymore, I'm used to balancing my responsibilities and making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow the owner's instructions closely. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or theirs, I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment. I also respect each pet's boundaries and make sure they feel comfortable with me!
“Kate was very easy to communicate with and set everything up. She gave us updates and lots pictures and videos while we were away. We really feel like she took care of our pup and house while we were gone.”

“We had a great experience with Kaleb. He took excellent care of both our dog and cat, sending regular updates and pictures so we felt at ease while away. He left our home in the same good condition he found it, and most importantly, our pets were happy and well cared for. He’s trustworthy and reliable, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”

“Lucky was lucky to have such great care from Rico 🤩. Communication was excellent and the pics sent thru during his stay captured Lucky’s personality wonderfully…did he even miss us 😬. Any pup would be in good hands with Rico’s care and attention. Have already booked him for another upcoming trip. Highly recommend!”

“Eddie was fabulous. We were gone for a week and when we returned the house was in perfect shape and the dogs were happy. He sent lots of welcome communication, cared for one of our dogs with an injury, and even watered the outside plants when they looked dry! He's among the best dog sitters we've had and we hope to rebook.”

Isabelle was wonderful with Maverick while staying at my home for nearly two weeks! She gave him lots of love and attention, took him on regular walks, played with him often, and helped him socialize with other dogs. It was great knowing Maverick was happy, getting plenty of attention, and in such good hands while I was away. I really appreciate the care she gave him and the effort she made to keep him active and entertained. I would absolutely hire Isabelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Conrad went above and beyond with taking care of our two dogs! Super responsive, friendly, careful with their needs (1 is a reactive dog, other has anxiety and is accident prone). When my dog started limping mid-stay, Conrad made sure to notify me and follow instructions perfectly and administer medication. I felt very comfortable knowing that Conrad was taking care of them diligently, ensuring they had the love, company, and support they needed when we were away for 3 days.
This was the longest stay Daniel has had with Onyx and Eve and everything went perfectly! Daniel sent lots of photos and updates while we were gone for a week and a half. He also took great care of our house and grabbed our mail and packages throughout the sit!

Morgan is reliable, professional, and super communicative in caring for our dog & cat. We were able to enjoy a weekend away without worrying about our boys, knowing they were in great hands. Definitely recommend Morgan - we will be using her again in the future!

We try to rebook Maria whenever she is available. It’s so nice to come home from a trip knowing our needy pup has so well cared for, and we get that from Maria every time. She takes great care of our home and provides great communication and photo updates, which I love!

Amelia took incredible care of my senior pup. She took his health challenges in stride, navigating his pill dispensing and bathroom breaks with ease. She sent pictures and updates, left my home immaculate, and was so lovely during our meet and greet. Easily an above and beyond sitter, thank you again Amelia!
