“We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.”
“truly cannot describe how great of an experience we had with carlos! everyday we were provided with extensive updates and photos, and I was immediately at ease knowing that akiak was in good hands and enjoying himself with the other dogs. we encountered some problems at drop off and pick up, but carlos was super understanding and helpful - would recommend to anyone and everyone! thank you so much again!”
“Garrett and Ana were wonderful! Kylo thinks so too! We appreciated their communication while he was with them. It gave us peace of mind that he was fine and relaxed. We also appreciated their time to acquaint him with their own dog and other boarders. We'd definitely use them again!”
“My big furry baby Dream loves to stay with Megan. I feel at ease when we go away and she’s with Megan. I know she’s safe and cared for exceptionally. Side note: I love the photos that Megan sends me of Dream.”
“Shadow had thee best time staying with Seyla! I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing my dog was in great hands and being kept abreast of the walks and feedings definitely gave me peace of mind. Shadow got to socialize with other dogs and got plenty of daily exercise! Because he was walked in the woods and forest, he did bring home about 5 or 6 ticks but I will get him on a preventative in hopes that it will help for future visits with Seyla. As a fellow dog sitter/walker myself, I highly recommend Seyla and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!!!”
“Rebecca is awesome! My puppy and I are new to the area and she made me feel so comfortable and trusting with her. I will definitely be rebooking and would recommend her!”

“We have worked with Emmanuel twice for long stays for our big friendly dog Ruben. Ruben comes home happy and is clearly very comfortable in Emmanuel's home. Emmanuel sent us updates regularly. He seems to manage a lot of dogs very well. We plan to use Emmanuel in the future when we go out of town.”
“Dana took such great care of our dog! She sent constant updates and pictures to us to show how he was doing. Her home was clean and extremely welcoming! Grateful that I found someone that cares for our pet just like we do. Thank you so much Dana. We look forward to booking with you again!”
“Chelsea-Jo provided phenomenal care for my pup! I loved the communication and overall kind and caring disposition. My boy had so much fun and is completely wore out which tells me he had a great time :)”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Rae was great! My boy, Walter, sometimes takes minute to adjust and settle in. But, with Rae he fit right it immediately and had so much fun. She took pictures and let me know he was OK, and even brought him on some errands with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Rae again.”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“David and his family did a great job with our puppy, Dobby. In fact I would say that we got Dobby back better trained and socialized than when he was dropped off for 2 weeks. Thanks for all the attention.”
“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I've had small,medium and extra large dogs! Growing up I was the kid that had rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats. I obtained my vet assistant certification to learn how to better care for my pets and have enjoyed spoiling them ever since! I'd love to help care for your fur babies. I am currently working until 4pm but I'm available any time after and on weekends. My husband is home during the day so there is always someone home to look after our pets. I have a park very close by along with nature trails for long walks. I have a 6 year old large baby who is able to keep anybody entertained.
“Kady loves and knows animals and it really shows. She's very communicative and professional. Kady went above and beyond to help clean up after a cat having new litter issues. She handled my 4 cats with no issues. I highly recommend her for anyone with cats and multiple animals. I will absolutely use Kady again in the future.”
“Nicole was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly loving, mindful, and attentive while caring for our cat. Knowing our cat was in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Nicole was also very flexible and easy to work with, which we truly appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
About: Working with animals has always been my passion. Right now I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license. I have 2 pets of my own, Pepper and Teddy ages 8 and 6. I am currently working at a pet hospital as a veterinary assistant. We see a variety of dogs and cats, so I am comfortable around different breeds, big and small. I can provide plenty of belly ribs and TLC! I love working with puppies! It's so much fun when they come to the hospital. They are so playful and cuddly! I'm easy to get a long with. I'm a very dedicated and organized person. I would show your fur babies the love and care they deserve. I would treat them as if they were my own fur babies! *Please note availability will change weekly* I currently do not have a set schedule. I will keep my calendar updated as much a possible. If you have any question please ask When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my own pets. We go on walks in my neighborhood. There are two ponds in my neighborhood both dogs have a fun time sniffing anything and everything. We'll play a bunch of games, and explore all the smells around the neighborhood. I am comfortable feeding, administering medications. I will check fence or gates before letting a dog outside. Before leaving, I'll make sure to lock the doors and do one last check. Making sure the area the dog will stay in is clean and check that all trash can lids are locked, no food is on the counters, and that any gates or crate are secure.
“Cece was wonderful (caring and dependable). So happy to have found her to care for our dog. Her love for dogs is equal to her knowledge of dogs. Excellent sitter --- we will use her again.”
“Melissa was just what we needed to cover our cat while we went on a trip! She was so sweet, kept us updated, and kept our kitty entertained while we were away! I would definitely recommend Melissa to any others looking for help with their pets!”
“Amy was absolutely amazing with our 3 fur babies!! She took wonderful care of them while we were away! I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again in the future!”
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.
“Caitlyn did a wonderful job! She came before my trip to need Ophelia and learn what needed to be done and how to care for her. She showed up each evening on time and sent pictures , brought in package for me and let me know if anything was out of the norm! I highly recommend and will have her in the future!”
“Steven has now watched our two cats twice for us while we’ve been out of town, and each time has been great. He responds quickly to messages, plays and spends time with our cats, and makes sure to keep us updated on anything that happens. Would definitely recommend Steven as a sitter :)”
About: I have watched many breeds and types of animals dogs, cats, birds, and more. I look at the type of animal it’s age and many other things to see how that animal needs to be taken care of! I can watch dogs any day on the weekend and most days after 5pm. I work in the military so that is why my schedule is so tight. (Relatively) I care for pets as if they’re my own animal! Animals are sweet and innocent and deserve the world because they take care of us when we need it.
“Brenna and Binx are in good hands when she stops by to see them and she’s got great availability. She actively updates you and communicates frequently if you need to know anything.”
About: I have over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I've consistently provided loving and responsible care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. My background includes daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, and ensuring a comfortable environment for furry friends. My passion for animals shines through in my attentive care, regular updates, and commitment to maintaining open communication with pet parents. I somewhat recently lost my last furry family member to lymphoma. I’ve yet to get another one as it is difficult losing our furry family member. I would take them out first thing in the mornings, if they didn’t wake us up earlier to go outside. Then give them their breakfast and play/cuddle with them.
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Excellent! Johnathan did an awesome job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation. Provided lots of photos and detailed reports after each check-in. Would 100% work with him again. Thanks!”

“Jesus was so wonderful with our dog, Mack. Mack is an anxious boy and is fearful of most strangers, so we have had difficulty finding someone who he felt comfortable with and could care for him while we’re away. Initially, we were nervous dropping him off because we weren’t sure how Mack would be, but he walked right up to Jesus and everything went great! Jesus provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which we really appreciate. My wife and I felt so much relief and were at ease knowing Mack was enjoying his day with Jesus. We are so happy to have found Jesus and will certainly be using him again in the future. Mack can’t wait to be back!”

“Jordyn was great - very flexible with timing which was a huge help since we were on the road and weren't sure exactly when we would get there. Zeke had a really great time with her - sad for him since it was only for one night! We will definitely be contacting Jordyn again in the future when we come to the area again!”
“Emmanuel was a superb caretaker for my senior pup with vertebral pain. I am grateful for the care he gave Ferby, especially on short notice, so that I could return to work at school. Ferby had a great day in his care!”
“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”
“My pup Lucy loved her time with Michelle! Michelle has great communication and was flexible about drop off and pick up times. Very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”

I take our dog out for walks and play-time with other dogs in the neighborhood . Diesel is very friendly, energetic and loving. My house has a large fenced yard. It’s not my practice to crate dogs. However, I can crate your dog if requested. I provide dog beds and allow dogs to move about freely. No one else will be assisting me with caring for your dog.

“Romeo felt really welcoming by the family. He was shy at first but went along and didn't even notice I was gone. I felt very confortable leaving him. He had a great time with other dogs as well. Thank you we'll be back....”
“I have been using Rebecca and Roman for daily daycare services since April 2025. This is my first time using Rover and I have been very pleased with their services. Rebecca and Roman treat my pet as one of their own and they give me the peace of mind I need to focus on other responsibilities I have during the day. Rebecca and Roman notify me right away if there are any concerns they have regarding my pet so I can address them immediately. Rebecca and Roman send me pictures of my pet often which I love. If you are looking for daycare services in a loving home, I recommend Rebecca and Roman. ❤️”
“Jona was amazing with Caruso who is a very shy dog and has separation anxiety. She made him feel very comfortable within a few minutes of our arrival and he responded to her quickly. He usually backs away from strangers and hides behind me but she was able to establish a rapport with him quickly by sitting on the floor and talking to him until he became comfortable enough to let her pet him.”
“I'm really glad I found Nikhita because she was wonderful - easy to communicate with and made the whole process easy. She's flexible along with having a welcoming, clean home that our 6-month old puppy was very comfortable to be in. We'll definitely reach out to Nikhita again in the future!”
“Russ and Andra are excellent dog sitters! They are very reliable and treat our dog like one of their own. They always send cute pictures and videos of our pup running around, playing, and relaxing. Our pup Twyla has the best time when she visits Russ and Andra!”

“Nicole has been great with my dogs. I made a last minute request for dog walking and she made herself available. I appreciate that she has showed up on time and has given my dogs good quality care.”
“Cece has been really great! She always takes my girl out for an extended stroll in the park and I so appreciate her for it. If there is ever an issue or something that may need your attention she is very commutative. And when ive had unforseen circumstances and needed someone last minute she has definitely come through. I would highly recommend Cece”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds all my life. I currently have my own 2 year old labrador mix who I have raised since he was 5 weeks old. I absolutely adore pets and know how important they are to owners and all pet parents.

About: I have been taking care of my friends and families’ pets since I got to VA in 2019 and if I love doing it for free, don’t you worry that I will not love or care about your fur babies. I have had my own baby back in AZ and he passed away right after I got to VA. So it took a toll on me and I decided that every baby deserves to be taken care of and so much loves. I am a full-time student for my bachelor's and a reservist. I will keep my calendar updated based on my availability. Most of my days should look similar, but when I have my travel plan, I will update my calendar. I will make sure to send pics of your pet after every walk before I leave your place. Their safety and your place's safety during my stop by is my top priority. Please text me anytime if you want to see your fur babies while they are with me. I understand every paw parent is different, so I do not mind.
“Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!”
“Very nice lady. Was available last minute to help me walk my dog while being sick. Yuki enjoyed it very much. He came back exhausted which helped me get more rest. Will be rebooking her❤️ Thank you Kaitlyn”
“Steven is fantastic. I had a family emergency and the person who normally walked Tully was unavailable. Contacted Steve and he came right away for a meet and greet. My dog is a rescue so he doesn’t always do well with strangers but he was so happy with Steve right away. Steve asked if he could take Tully on a short introductory walk to make sure they were a good match which made me much more comfortable. Definitely would recommend Steve! Amazing with both families and fur babies!”

When I am at your house I will make sure that my time with them is well spent and make sure they are happy no matter what!
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats.

I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!

“Renata has taken amazing care of my 10-year-old Husky, and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s incredibly trustworthy, honest, and attentive, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves dogs. Whether it’s pet sitting or day walks, she’s wonderful and always goes above and beyond. My Husky can be a bit particular, but Renata handles everything with so much patience and care. I always have total peace of mind when my dog is with her, which means everything.”
About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.
About: I have taken care of family, friends and my own pets all my life. I am really responsible and have a love for all animals. I am very detailed oriented and I have a flexible work schedule. I can readily accessible at any time of the day to accommodate anyone. I have a large fenced in backyard which allows non caged or crated stays, where pets are allowed to play and roam off the leash

“We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.”
“My big furry baby Dream loves to stay with Megan. I feel at ease when we go away and she’s with Megan. I know she’s safe and cared for exceptionally. Side note: I love the photos that Megan sends me of Dream.”
“Shadow had thee best time staying with Seyla! I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing my dog was in great hands and being kept abreast of the walks and feedings definitely gave me peace of mind. Shadow got to socialize with other dogs and got plenty of daily exercise! Because he was walked in the woods and forest, he did bring home about 5 or 6 ticks but I will get him on a preventative in hopes that it will help for future visits with Seyla. As a fellow dog sitter/walker myself, I highly recommend Seyla and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!!!”
“We have worked with Emmanuel twice for long stays for our big friendly dog Ruben. Ruben comes home happy and is clearly very comfortable in Emmanuel's home. Emmanuel sent us updates regularly. He seems to manage a lot of dogs very well. We plan to use Emmanuel in the future when we go out of town.”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“David and his family did a great job with our puppy, Dobby. In fact I would say that we got Dobby back better trained and socialized than when he was dropped off for 2 weeks. Thanks for all the attention.”
“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Dasia was fantastic again! It’s so great to find someone you feel comfortable to watch your pet. Dasia provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was amazing.”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Stacy and her family took wonderful care of Curie! We got plenty of updates. The level of communication assured us that she was in good hands. She was happy when we picked her up but also wasn’t too eager to leave the people that gave her all the treats and belly rubs :) Thank you so much!”
“We couldn’t have found a better person to take care of our dog while we were away. Jim was responsible, sincere, caring and very responsive. He is really experienced with dogs and their behaviors. His expertise not only helped us feel comfortable but made us find a second home for our dog for our future travel plans. I definitely recommend!”
“Helen watched our 7 month old puppy and provided excellent care for her. She walked her and took her to a dog park. Even when our pup got a little anxious, Helen graciously cared for her and kept us informed. Helen made us feel comfortable with our first Rover experience and Millie's first night away from us. Thank you Helen!”
