She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”

“Catherine and Nikhit were absolutely amazing in caring for our dog when we were away for three weeks. The communication was seamless and we received lots of updates and photos. The best part is that we could tell that they formed a genuine bond with our dog and we had complete confidence that he was extremely well cared for. We are so grateful to them and absolutely recommend to others looking for exceptional care for their pups.”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”

“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”

Would 100% recommend Alexis and will be using her in the future”

It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Bacall was in such good hands!”
“Outstanding experience. Laura was incredibly professional and responsive, taking great care of our pets during the holidays. When we arrived back earlier than expected, Laura insisted on modifying the booking even though I offer to pay her for the originally agreed number of visits. We came home to happy cats and a clean, fresh-smelling home. Your cats are in great hands with her!”

“I highly recommend Kristy. She is responsive, communicative, reliable, friendly, and great with our cat. We had to travel unexpectedly, and it gave us peace of mind during a stressful time knowing our cat was living her best life with Kristy. We will continue to request her as a petsitter on Rover.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and I’m looking forward to taking care of yours. I have a dog of my own who is a 28lb mini labradoodle. She's super sweet and social, and part of the reason I like to dog sit is because she likes having a buddy around to play with. I work from home every day so Sage and I will be with your dog all day! I live in an apartment building but I am near a walking trail and dog park. I work from home so I'll be home during day! In case I have to run out for errands I would like to know how you board your dog when you're away. I will be available if you have any questions/concerns. **Please ensure that your dog comes fully groomed/clean!** I take my dog on a long walk once in the morning (8 am) and once in the afternoon (5:30 pm) with a short potty break mid day and right before bed. I can adjust my schedule to ensure your dog feels comfortable! If I go to a dog park but I typically go early in the mornings or mid day when it is empty. If you don’t want your dog at a dog park at all that’s 100% fine with me!

I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.
About: I have three years old golden doodle. We have scheduled potty walk and play time at least three times per day. I might spoil your dog with good caring ❤️ Morning potty walk / lunch play & walk (30-40mins) / evening play &walk (30-40mins) + before bed time pee walk. Also scheduled meal time after walk. I keep dogs happy but also safe. I normally share photos of your dog regularly to make sure you know your dog’s doing well through Rover app.
“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”
“Megan is so amazing with our Sable. She helps us with her training and takes her on plenty of walks and makes sure she is happy and comfortable. We will continue to hire Megan to watch Sable.”
“This was the first time leaving my senior pup with Valbona. He's a little skidding after some nigh life changes, but she was so caring and took amazing care of Kent.”
“I had a great experience with Suseth as Leo's sitter! She was so sweet and accommodating, even with my last-minute requests. Suseth was very responsive, and Leo came home happy, which says it all. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care! Thank you, Suseth!”
“I feel like my dog is in very good hands with Yulia. She really cares about the dogs in her care and also the owners. I loved getting pictures to see how my dog, Trooper, was getting along with the other dogs and having fun.”
About: I grew up with 4 dogs and 3 cats and found a deep love for animals at an early age. With several of our dogs, I attended training school as a pet-parent and became quite familiar with the importance of proper pet care. I am extremely comfortable with dogs, cats, and the responsibilities that come with both. Animals bring out the most genuine parts of us and I love helping out in any way that I can! I work remotely and have lots of time to dedicate to hanging out with pets! I love going on long walks and would really enjoy bringing a pup along. Taking the time to keep your pet active, cared for, and safe fits well into my schedule. I live in the vibrant community of Old Town Alexandria with my husband where we provide a clean, safe, and loving environment for any animals that we watch. When I travel to another home, I am extremely conscious of the space (I was a babysitter for 10+ years and am quite familiar with caring for a home). I am happy to crate pets, tidy up a bit, and make sure that your environment is exactly how you want it.
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Kamryn was great with my large breed dog! She was super responsive and we did a meet and greet before she kept him for the day. I picked him up happy and tail wagging!”
About: I’m reliable and I treats dogs like kids. I give them lots of attention and always try to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I recently quit my job so I am home all day. If I were to leave the house it would be for maybe 3 hours max. I mostly stay home and work on my business, paint and create content. I don’t have any pets currently, but I’ve had 2 dogs in the past. I live in an apartment complex that has lots of dogs and offers 2 fenced in dog parks!

“Carolina is great! She communicates well and does a great job communicating. My partner has been deployed the past year and I couldn’t have done it without her.”
About: I've been a long-time cat-person who also has experience adopting a rescue dog and raising her from her puppy years to old age - I'm knowledgeable about training, medication administration, and handling reactive or nervous pets. I've been a pet sitter and house sitter for many years, and would love to support you and your family in your pet care needs. I'm an academic librarian new to NOVA with work from home flexibility. Over the month of December, I have extended time off for the holidays and will be staying in the area. I've been a pet and house sitter and feel confident about coming to your space and paying attention to the details that matter to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe. I live in an apartment complex and have a cat myself, which I imagine folks will take into consideration in case they want to leave their pet with me.
About: I have dogs and cats, and experience with all types from high energy to seniors! My sweet Australian cattle dog was reactive and high-energy, so I am familiar with training and walking those types of smart dogs. I also have a soft spot for seniors who want to move at their own pace and just want love and attention. I want to help make your life easier and make sure your pets are happy while you're away, I know how much that peace of mind matters when you're away from your babies! I work remote from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I may have meetings during the week that I can't move, but if time off day for drop-ins or walks is flexible on your side, I can find a time that works. I'd prefer to always do a meet and greet first to know where everything is if I need it -- from leashes and toys to cleaning supplies and emergency contact and vet numbers.
“Randy is an incredible dog sitter. He is communicative, timely, thoughtful, and just all around an asset to the Rover community. He sends plenty of pictures and updates and is incredibly patient with our Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. I can’t recommend Randy enough!”
“Laura is fantastic. We came from out of town to our daughter’s wedding and she made it so I didn’t feel bad leaving her home alone. Caring and reliable. Great communication. I highly recommend her!”
“Mounia was fantastic! Great communication throughout, lots of photos, and really patient with both me and my pup - which is especially appreciated since we just moved to the neighborhood. Will definitely book again!”
“Jolene and Squiggy give two paws up! Erin did an amazing job helping us with the pups as we did engagement photos. (Not the usual dog walk!) She helped them look at the camera and squeezed the squeaky ball/called their names. Erin is so helpful and easy going and we loved having her help with this special event! Our dogs love her.”
About: I have a flexible schedule working from home, so I can give your cats the time and attention they deserve. I’m reliable and professional and will ensure your cats are well cared for. I will treat your home with care and respect when I come to care for your cats. I can be trusted to follow instructions, communicate clearly, and take good care of your place. I’m also happy to bring in mail/newspapers, water plants, or take care of any other little task that needs doing.
About: 30 years of experience raising, sitting, and living with dogs and cats in all phases of their lives. My husband and I had our own two dogs for 14 years and are excited to be “aunts and uncles” to others’ pets until we get our own again. I currently work remotely and am very active during the day. Hoping to add a furry friend to the mix so I don’t have to walk alone. Can also pay home visits to care for them as you need. I will respect your home as if it were my own, adhering to any specific security, sanitization, and pet-specific requirements. Your home will be left exactly as I found it.
“Elena was amazing with my dog! Not only was she sweet to Josie, but she was communicative, organized, and kind. It made my whole week better knowing that I didn’t have to worry about my dog. I’ll definitely rebook!!”
“Adriana deserves 1000 stars!! I actually booked a dog walk for someone else - My friend is home with a newborn baby and two rowdy labs so I wanted to get her dogs out of the house for a little to help. Adriana messaged me back immediately and was happy to help! She was incredibly accommodating, professional and asked me all of the important questions so she was prepared when she arrived. She sent photos and handled the two labs wonderfully. The dogs loved her and she absolutely made the new mom's day. I would trust her with my dogs any day. Thank you so much Adriana for your kindness!”

“Ilana has been walking our dog for about a year and has also hosted him overnight for a few days. We recently moved out of the neighborhood and will miss Ilana dearly! Our dog looked forward to seeing her every week and always comes back very happy from his walks with her. We are so grateful for Ilana and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter or walker.”
“Nathan has been walking my dog, Obi, consistently 3 days per week for two weeks and has done a great job! He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.”
“Jessica is great! She has a good rapport with Franklin, is communicative, trustworthy and flexible. We will continue to work with her and recommend her to any other pet owners :)”
“Hilary was great with our pug! She was reliable and provided updates and was even able to get our girl back in her crate after her walk, when she can be a bit stubborn. She was communicative and made booking and everything easy! Will definitely book Hilary again!”

Don’t hesitate to schedule a stay with Brian...pet will enjoy every bit of their stay!”
