“Anastasia had The. Best. Day. Ever. at Cynthia’s for doggy day care. Every time she leaves the house for a walk now, she bolts to my husband’s car. It’s new, and she’s only ridden in it once and it was to Cynthia’s, so I’m pretty sure she thinks if she goes in this car, she’ll go see her new doggy friends. We had great communication throughout the day, too. Just a delight to see our pup happy in this new, social environment.”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
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.
“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.”
“Madina was great! She was able to watch my dog last minute/same day. She was prompt with her communications and took wonderful care of Nova for the day. We would definitely book her again.”
“Sputnik had a great time with Shane. When we left him at Shane’s place he was exited to arrive and when we picked him up he was happy and tired. Really good experience !”
“Corina was great! Really responsive and great to work with. She took great care of our dog Nina. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She took Nina out on several walks during the day and even worked on training her new tricks. My dog just loved her and I can tell she was well taken care of.”
“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
“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!”
“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”
“We met Linda, Leo and Fred and instantly felt at ease! She was so warm, kind and genuine. Leo and Fred were both welcoming and friendly towards Pinot. They played so well and Pinot was well taken care of. Thank you!!!”

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience, flexibility, and genuine love for dogs, which even inspired two friends to become dog lovers and get pets of their own! I work from home, allowing me to provide consistent attention and customized care. With a fenced dog park at my place and easy access to Shirlington Dog Park, I ensure every dog has a safe and engaging environment for play and exercise. Over the years, I’ve been a reliable and loving dog sitter for many friends, caring for their pets from a few hours to week-long stays. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of dogs, including my black and tan coonhound, an elderly greyhound, an energetic golden retriever, Pitbull Boxer and a big, bold Shar Pei-Rottweiler mix. My approach is shaped by my experience rehabilitating a once out-of-control rescue dog, who, with patience and love, became a wonderful companion and backpacking partner. Whether it’s managing high-energy dogs or providing a gentle hand to senior pets, I create a nurturing and fun environment where every dog feels truly at home. As an entrepreneur who works from home, I have the flexibility to build my schedule around pet care, ensuring your dog’s needs are a top priority. I’m highly responsible and reliable, with the ability to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. My home includes a fenced dog park, providing a secure area for playtime, and I also live near Shirlington Dog Park, perfect for extended outings and socialization with other dogs. I enjoy hiking and being active for dogs that might need more exercise. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, enjoyable environment, so you can feel confident that your dog is in great hands while you’re away. In my home, I ensure that each pet feels comfortable, safe, and engaged. I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, including visits to the fenced dog park at my place and longer outings at nearby Shirlington Dog Park. I follow each pet’s specific routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to any special care instructions. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s usual environment and routine, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to every detail, keeping the space clean, following any house rules, and providing consistent updates so owners can feel reassured. My goal in both settings is to offer a reliable, caring experience that pets enjoy and owners trust.

“I didn’t realize I could be even more grateful for Vianca, but here I am!! She took the absolute best care of my best bud during an insane heat wave, even going as far as to bring him a cool bandana to wear during his walk so he wouldn’t overheat. You can’t teach this type of intuitive, thoughtful care - she is simply magic! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
“Ann did a great job with Grover. She provided pictures and thorough descriptions of the walk. I will definitely be using Ann for many walks in the future!”
About: I frequently watch my family’s dogs and cats. I also have a lot of experience from Rover at this point. I love taking pictures of the pets to send to my family members. I have a photo album on my phone with about 150 pictures in it. I work out regularly. A dog pulling will not phaze me. I like to go for long walks if your dog needs lots of exercise. Im attending school asynchronously online so I make my own hours but I need to be able to work 8 hours every day. I can split those 8 hours up to work with your pet’s schedule I’m not able to care for pets in my home right now but I can crate your dog or care for your pet in any way they need in your home.

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!!”
“Aisha was so amazing in taking care of our high energy doggo for a whole week while we were away for our wedding!! I received updates and photos every day. I was nervous at first because this was our first time using Rover or going away without our doggo, but Aisha made me feel confident and comfortable in her abilities to take care of our boy the very first hour she had him! He had a blast playing at the dog park, got to go on long walks, and made a new doggo friend with her dog. I HIGHLY recommend Aisha to anyone and will definitely be booking her again in the future (if she'll have our silly pup again!) If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She was amazing!”

Highly recommend Paul for taking care of your beloved pets.”
