“Andrea has been amazing! The dogs love her. She is very responsive and gives great updates in her visit details. She was willing to stop by ahead of our first scheduled drop-in to meet the pups. I’ve rebooked with her and plan to continue!”


“Aura took such good care of our cat, George. She provided daily visit reports and pictures. George who is sometimes shy warmed up to Aura instantly during the meet and greet. Aura followed all the instructions we provided. We will definitely use Aura again and recommend her to anyone.”


“We currently have a very playful 13 week old puppy and Sweta is amazing with him. This is our very first puppy and we were very nervous of leaving him home alone. We decided to find a dog sitter on Rover. We are so happy that we decided to book with Sweta. Our pup is always happy whenever Sweta checks in on him and I never have to worry because I’m confident that she will take good care of our pup. We’ve booked multiple times with her and she’s always very responsive. She gives updates while she’s with our puppy and would check with me to ask if there is anything else my puppy needs before leaving him alone, which I really appreciate. If this is your first time booking a dog sitter on Rover and you’re looking for an amazing sitter who will take good care of your fur baby, book with Sweta!”


“Dominique is excellent and I am so appreciative for the professional and attentive caretaking she provided my pups. She is responsive and professional, and provided well-written, detailed updates on how my pups were doing, along with pictures. I truly appreciated her taking the time to meet and connect with my dogs in advance of the job, even during a busy pop-up holiday weekend. One of my dogs can be difficult to walk on leash, and Dominique handled her so patiently and supportively. I absolutely recommend her and would work with her again. Thank you, Dominique!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in the home. I love being the dogs and cats best friend. While I am not the best discipliner. I can ensure your best friend has a great time while they wait for your return. I am in a flexible job. I only need to go into the office twice a week but I can adjust the days as needed so my availability is pretty consistent. I will care for them as if they were my own. I do have a crate that I can set up in case they need a den like atmosphere. My apartment has a small dog park I can take them to if they get along with other pups. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with plenty of dogs around. We would also go for some walks and watch some TV on the couch.

“Janna is absolutely amazing and my Leo loved her right away. I especially appreciated that she set up an initial “meet and greet” with me to make sure everything would go smoothly.”


“Ben was on time and was great with our dogs. This was a quick meet and greet to prep for a longer house sitting stay and everything went really smoothly.”


About: I was a manager at a pet care company in Fairfax for seven years before the business closed due to COVID. I have experience walking with dogs of all sizes and also pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I am currently in search of a full time job so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks and in-home pet sitting I have seven years experience in the pet care field so I have truly seen it all and know how to react to any situation that may arise

About: My work is really flexible and I take breaks a lot with my dog to go run and play in the park nearby. I can do any training you want me to do while your dog is here! I'm also experienced in administering meds and senior dogs. I am happy to tire your dog out while you're at work for you and I can start early and end late as you need. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide daycare services during the week at the moment as my hybrid-remote agreement has been canceled by recent executive orders. I am still home on the weekends!! I have some dog toys and do training every 2 hours with a short walk. Once a day we take a long walk or run.

“Allie was so great with both of my dogs and always sent very detailed notes on their time together. I will definitely reach out to Allie again when I needy girls checked in on!”


About: Growing up spending weekends on my grandparents’ farm, I learned to care for animals great and small. I am a fast-learner with a warm heart for all critters. I have experience with the elderly and those born just a week ago. Now, living in the city, I care for my little critters, demonstrating a broad range of pet-care experience. I am a university student on break! I have plenty of time and am very flexible with scheduling. Anytime of the day works for me! As an engineering student, I follow all instructions carefully and am good at communication (believe it or not haha!). The same applies to my clients. I am a very clean, detail-oriented person.


About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of a variety of dogs and cats and love watching dogs in my home! We have an energetic and very friendly two-year-old dog Eddie that especially loves having dog friends stay over! I am very responsible and will communicate with you about your pet as much as you would like. I will only board one dog at a time, in addition to my dog so your pup will get lots of attention and care. Happy to have your pup sleep on the bed and relax on the couch with us! We do also have a senior cat in our home but we can easily keep him separated from your dog if needed or requested. He is very used to being around dogs however. I have availability between Thursday-Sunday when I will primarily be at home, however someone is always at home as my husband works remotely. We have a large fenced in backyard and also will take your dog on plenty of walks. And your dog will get a lot of playtime and exercise with my high energy dog Eddie and our two kids. I have a fenced in backyard and will also take your dog on walks. I will treat your dog as our own when they are in our home and we do allow dogs to sleep on the couches and beds. We also have a large and small crate available if your dog prefers a crate.

As a stay at home mom I have the flexibility to come in the morning or evening. Being able to care for your pet the same way as if you would be there. Not being in a rush to get in and out. Being a pet owner myself, I know what to look out for when it comes to what has to be done. The importance of a good walk and picking up after the dogs is so important to me. For cats being able to have time to play with them and groom, them is a priority to me, making sure that they are well fed, and litter is cleaned out. My intentions would be to clean up after myself, not make it a task for the homeowner to do after they get home.

Brianna K.
“Some will likely think I'm biased because Brianna is my daughter. However, I write this with as much objectivity as I can. I watched as my daughter took care of a little Yorkie for one week. Prior to taking the assignment, she took our dog over to meet the Yorkie to ensure they would get along. Once she started dog sitting duties, she ensured that each dog got individualized attention and walks. She allowed them to play together but also to be separate. She dutifully walked the Yorkie as needed and ensured that each dog only ate their own food (they were both fascinated by each other's food). I was very proud to see her show this level of responsibility and the review she received by the Yorkie's owner only supports my review. She has ALWAYS been a dog lover and shows love to all dogs she meets. ”

Springfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are so grateful to have Thy watch our fur babies while on vacation. Thy is so easy to work with and very responsive. She took great care of our 3 dogs and even cleaned up after them so nicely. We really appreciate that too, since our dogs left a few messes. We were kept informed the whole time (with texts/pics) and knew that they were in good hands. We would def recommend Thy to others and would def book again.

Kelli was great - my frenchie, Ghost, immediately felt comfortable with her. Will definitely book again!

Steve has continued to be an excellent sitter for our dog Shannon. Shannon developed a medical condition that required our return to take her to the vet. Steve alerted us to the situation and sent us information that allowed us to make a sound decision to return. Thanks Steve. You are the best! Shannon is doing great now.

Arial was wonderful! We booked her last minute for a trip when our original plans fell through. She offered to come to the house before our trip to meet our pup and learn about her routine. While we were away she provided detailed updates and lots of pictures. We know our dog is in great hands with her and hope to book her again for our next trip!

Did a great job taking care of my puppy! I will book her again in the future! Winnie looked so happy in the photos!

Nicole is always so responsive! I had a last minute request on a weekend, and she was able to flex and help me out.

Alanna is the best communicator and definitely one of the best dog sitters in this W. Springfield neighborhood. There are some dog sitters in Cardinal Forest who don’t even return a message 😬. Alanna loved my dog Jack and remained flexible when he ended up sick. She really knows how to love up on dogs and isn’t anxious or fearful of them, a must to be a dog sitter, but surprisingly not as common as you’d think. She’s definitely going into my Rolodex!

She was amazing with Scooby. Super helpful and reliable with tips! Definitely will book again with Lucy!

Krysta is always great at watching our pets! We love getting updates and she’s always responsive! Highly recommended!

Sabrina was great! She responded quickly and was able to meet Sascha before her actual sit, which was very helpful. She checked in and out on time and provided a quick update on her sit. She confirmed info which was also reassuring. I would definitely use Sabrina again when needed.

We gave Dee a chance because he was available and lived nearby, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. From the start, he was punctual, kind, and attentive with our dog Thor. He followed all the instructions we left, took Thor out for his walks as agreed, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we came back, everything was in order, and Thor was happy and well taken care of. It’s clear that Dee has extensive experience with dogs, along with a lot of patience and genuine love for animals. We definitely recommend him and hope others give him the same opportunity we did. Thank you for everything! Danny, Damaris & Thor

Madison did a wonderful job taking care of Smudge. She was patient while Smudge got to know her and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We missed our pup but knew she was in the best care! Highly recommend Madison!

William T did a great job. For our 2 dogs. Excellent communication and our dogs loved his attention.

I can’t say enough great things about Jade! She truly went above and beyond when I was out of town and had to find a last-minute replacement for a sitter who wasn’t working out. She stepped in seamlessly, took amazing care of our pup, our cat and our home, and kept me updated the entire time, giving me total peace of mind. Since then, she’s become our most trusted dog walker, and I couldn’t be happier with her care, reliability, and love for my pup and my home. She’s attentive, professional, and truly treats my dog like her own. If you’re looking for someone you can rely on and trust completely, look no further—she’s the best!

Kennedy recently started taking care of Banjo thru two weekly drop in visits to our home. She has been excellent! Always sends multiple pictures and a description of what they did/played with. She’s also very mindful of cleaning his paws before coming back inside to help keep our home clean. She’s been great!

Justine was absolutely amazing with my corgi! From the start, Justine was professional, communicative, and caring for our dog. Justine provided regular updates, photos, and made sure my pup got plenty of attention. We came home to a happy corgi that was well cared for, and I could tell appreciated the attention. I highly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

Jesus has quickly become a light in our life. We trust him wholeheartedly to look after our pup, who has dealt with reactivity in the past. His patience and understanding with both humans and fur friends alike is rare. Anyone would be lucky to use his services. Thank you, Jesus!

Melissa is friendly, easy to communicate with, and obviously loves dogs. She performed multiple mid-day drop-ins when I had long work days & my crew was obviously happy in her photos and when I got home. I already plan to hire her for additional drop-ins & overnights and would recommend her to others.
