“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!!”
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”
“Del always has a great time when she stays at Nina's. She has become our go-to sitter for when we travel, and is easy to communicate/coordinate with and flexible. Thanks Nina!”
“Julie is without a doubt the very best. Her kindness, care and understanding of Mojo’s needs was 2nd to none. My dog is now a 6 year old Havadoodle with significant separation issues. He took to Julie immediately on our first meet up and was happy to spend the week with her during my travels. I am so grateful for her many updates throughout each day, with photos that proved Mojo was happy to be in her care. If there was a 10 star review permitted, I would happily give Julie this rating without hesitation. Except for of course the dates that Mojo needs her !”

We are so grateful to them and absolutely recommend to others looking for exceptional care for their pups.”

“Brittany was great! Always responsive, great communication, and very flexible when coordinating meetup / drop-off / pick-up times despite a bit of an uncertain travel schedule. Masterfully navigated the challenge of snuggling multiple Velcro dogs at the same time without enough lap to go around. Thanks for the great care!”
“Jhony was absolutely incredible with my dog! He went above and beyond, not only following all the directions I left but also making sure to send me constant updates.

About: I may be brand new to Rover but I’m not new to caring for animals! I absolutely love cats and have had them my whole life. I’ve cared for just about every type of cat imaginable; from shy to feisty, and from kittens to senior cats needing end-of-life care. I’ve pretty much done it all. I’m also comfortable administering some medications, including pills and liquids as well as eye drops. The reality is, I low-key just want to hang out with your cats. 😂 A 30-minute drop-in is the default, but if I have the extra time, I’m often more than happy to stick around a little longer just to hang out with them. I'm also a guinea pig parent and am comfortable with guinea pig care. I'm comfortable with guinea pig handling, daily feeding, cage cleanings and fleece bedding changes. Since guinea pigs aren't listed on rover, I count 1-3 guinea pigs as the cost of 1 cat. Because, we all know, you gotta have more than 1 guinea pig 😊
“Robin was communicative and asked some great questions to make sure she could take the best care of our cats! They were well taken care of, would definitely book her again.”
“I had a great experience meeting and booking with Alison and I really appreciated her excellent communication, responsiveness, and flexibility. My cat Zoe was happy and well-cared for, as seen in her fun photos. I’m already booked as a repeat client with Alison!”
“We love having Abbey come spend time with our former feral cat while we’re out of town. We so appreciate all the photos she sends and it’s clear he absolutely adores her company. Highly recommend Abbey; we never have to worry while we’re gone!”
“Kristy provided incredible care for our kitties! It made us feel very at ease to have her checking in and on them, making sure they were healthy and safe and giving them love and attention to!”
“Becky did a fantastic job watching my two cats. She followed my instructions perfectly and sent great updates and pictures. I can tell she went above and beyond to make sure my cats felt cared for and loved while I was away.”
“Laura was AMAZING. This was my first time leaving my cat Dublin with a sitter so I was quite nervous. Laura was great with Dublin, she was communicative and sent pictures. There was so point on my trip where I felt stressed or worried about Dublin as I knew Laura was handling things! 100/10 review. Thank you Laura!!!”
“Rachel was a wonderful sitter for my cat! She sent me photos and gave me updates upon each visit, in addition to playing and giving my cat some much needed attention :) Highly recommended!”
“I believe Laura is a pet whisperer!! My frail, geriatric and sometimes cranky Maine Coon cat simply fell in love with her while I was away. The communication and pictures were so very reassuring and I returned to a calm, well loved kitty.”
“Grateful to Terez for her cat sitting services! We have a shy cat that likes to hide from sitters. It was no biggie for Terez, she's a pro. She feed Bandit and cleaned the litter box, brought in mail and communicated each day. Will book again, thanks!”

“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. 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!”

“Shane truly cares about the dogs in his daycare and treated my dog like a member of his family! I feel so fortunate to have discovered Shane on Rover. He is a true animal lover with a perfect daycare setup in Alexandria.”
About: I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet. I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home. We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.
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.
“Iuliia is amazing! Maverick loves going to her house to play with all the great pups -- the outdoor space is a great place to get out all of his puppy energy and Iuliia is always so good about sending pictures or videos during the day.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Dogs have been my whole heart for as long as I can remember. I have 10+ years of hands on care and a lifetime of loving them. I share my home with my own 80lb Bernedoodle, who's wonderfully social and great with other dogs, so visiting pups feel right at home from the start. I'm experienced with puppy training and socialization, and I'm comfortable giving medications, so dogs with extra needs are in safe, steady hands. I don't have a yard, but there are plenty of parks nearby that I visit often, so your pup gets real walks and proper playtime rather than wandering alone. Best of all, I have the time to give them my full attention and plenty of cuddles. I'd love to hear about your dog! Reach out anytime to set up a meet-and-greet. So here's the good news for your pup: I'm currently funemployed, which is just a fancy way of saying your dog has my full, undivided, no-meetings-to-rush-to attention. I've cared for every size and personality of dog—from pocket-sized lap warmers to gentle giants—and I treat each one like my own. That means real walks, real playtime, and a watchful eye on the stuff that matters: feeding schedules, meds, and knowing when a dog just needs a quiet cuddle! Whether your dog stays with me, I come to your home, or I drop in for visits and walks, my goal is always the same: to keep your pup comfortable, safe, and happy on their own terms. I offer boarding, house sitting, doggy day care, and drop-in visits and walks. Rather than a one-size-fits-all routine, I follow each dog's own rhythm, matching their usual feeding times, walks, play, and rest so nothing feels unfamiliar. In my home, your dog becomes part of the family alongside my friendly 80lb Bernedoodle. In your home, I keep their space and routine just as they know it. And throughout the day, I'll send photos and texts so you can see those happy tail wags for yourself =)
“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.”
“Sarah and Ben took such great care of Brady! I couldn’t have asked for a better setup for my golden. This in-home doggy daycare was the perfect mix of comfort and socialization—especially with another golden there to play with. I had peace of mind knowing that he was safe and being cared for during my long work shift. He came home tired and clearly very happy. The one-on-one attention, safe environment, and built-in playmate made all the difference.”
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 cannot say enough good things about Megan. She really went above and beyond for Ollie and it shows. He crashed every time he came home which shows just how much play he got at Megan’s. We will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life and have about 5 years of dog care experience. We have a happy cat, guinea pigs, and go on frequent off-leash walks in a fenced park. Your pet will feel right at home I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I have a very dog-like cat and two guinea pigs. It’s always quiet and calm inside, and I love to take leisurely walks around the neighborhood.

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!!”
“Cait took such great care of my dog, Zelda. I had long work hours and I felt relieved knowing Zelda was getting great mental and physical exercise with Cait! She provided thoughtful updates and checked in on any additional needs for my pup. I can't thank her enough!”
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.
“Jackson always does a wonderful job with my dog. He is a trustworthy person and truly a dog lover. I couldn’t ask for a better walker to walk my dog. Thank you so much Jackson!”
“Caroline was amazing! She was willing to work with me last minute and took such good care of Milo. She was aware of how hot it was outside and adjusted the walk plan accordingly. I will definitely use Caroline as a dog walker again!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Patrick took great care of my pup, Jake! Patrick was attentive, very quickly responded to my new booking request, was flexible with timing, and more than accommodating! Jake was a happy pup after Patrick took care of him on a great walk. Thanks again, Patrick!”
“Bailey was great with my dog Trinity this past week. She was punctual and a very good communicator with great pictures. I hate being away from my dog and Bailey created a quick rapport and trust in Rover!”
About: Dog owner in the DMV with experience walking friends', families' and neighbors' dogs, providing top notch care. Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I work from home 4 days a week and depending on my meeting schedule am available for mid-day short walks or drop-ins. Always happy to discuss timing that works for everyone. I abide by the instructions set by the client, but place a premium on pet safety. Pets will not be forced into harnesses until they feel comfortable with me, I take care to make sure no pets escape, and that I leave every home as I found it.
“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!”
“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!”
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.

“10 stars!!!!! My Layla is a 90lb American Bully who is scared of her own shadow. But upon first meeting, Layla loved the backyard and enjoyed playing with the other dogs and the sitter’s son!! The sitter allows the dogs to wander freely in the yard and home but also ensures that there are controlled zones for safety. My Layla is a very sensitive dog so I can tell from her temperament if she feels comfortable. When I came to pick Layla up she sat on the front porch with me letting the sitter pet her. I believe I have found a second home for her that will treat her like family when I am away!!!!!❤️❤️❤️”
