About: Currently work as a Pediatric Physician Assistant and love doing Rover on the side! currently have a 2 adopted rescue from South Korea. I’ve been doing Rover with all different types of dogs.

“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”

About: I I’ve grown up caring for dogs—especially large breeds—and genuinely love spending time with them. I’d be thrilled to help care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse and work just three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home to provide attentive, reliable care. I am comfortable and experience in giving all types of medications as well and as a nurse I am very attentive to detail! I also have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy of my own, Nola, so I’m very familiar with the needs, energy, and personalities of bigger dogs. We spend a lot of time playing in our backyard aince it is fully fenced, front and back, and going on neighborhood walks, and I’d love to include your pup in the fun! We have a huge backyard that your pup can enjoy and a playmate as well! Look forward to taking care of your pups :) I am currently looking for something part-time to pick up and help out here and there when it is convenient in my current weekly schedule I am a very trustworthy and organized person. Being on time is key as well as being able to fulfill the tasks that is expected.
About: Hi, my name is Kate! I recently moved to the Alexandria area and am without a dog for the first time ever, so I am super excited to walk/play/stay with your pup! I have had dogs of all kinds throughout my life - from 30lb terrier to 100+lb labradors - so I know the drill on how to best care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I can’t wait to learn more about your pup and help lovie and care for them whenever you need! I am currently job searching, so am free at most times on most days. I will soon be starting part time work at a restaurant, so will have more availability in the mornings and afternoons, but for now I am available at any time to care for your pup! I am currently in an apartment, but am sure to take the dog(s) outside at least once per hour to ensure they have as many opportunities as possible to get all their energy out!
About: I’ve had a dog almost all my life, very comfortable with big or small dogs and whatever their walking/ feeding/ playing needs are. Can adjust accordingly. I am available for walks either early in the morning, after 5 pm, and anytime on the weekends! I am working full time but given enough heads up I can adjust my schedule around work. I live in an apartment which is very spacious. There is grass downstairs but I would typically walk a long the building and into the neighborhood nearby.
“Allie is great with Asher and took his special needs seriously. Asher made the transition to her as a new daycare very well telling me he is happy. I look forward to working regularly with Allie.”
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.
“Abigail and her super sweet and well behaved pup, Boba, were so welcoming and warm with Willar, my senior chiweenie. Abigail was attentive, asked thoughtful questions, and did a great job with the instructions for Willar's special diet. Abigail catered to Willar's needs which is very comforting for a pet parent of an older dog. I'm very grateful!🙏”
“Chynna did a great job with my 4 month old puppy for daycare! She was very responsive, sent great pictures, and my pup had the best time romping around for four hours with Chynna's two resident dogs. I would definitely book again!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for welcoming my little buddy into your home & treating him like your own. I can tell he loved spending days with Charlie & you. Great peace of mind knowing he was happy & well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Kathryn was great with Jasper. He played with her dog and had a nice walk. Probably got a bit spoiled as well. Definitely will be using Kathryn again in the near future.”
“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: I've been a devoted pet owner for most of my life, and about 1.5 years ago, I had the joy of adopting my current dog, who is now two years old. I understand the deep bond we form with our furry friends, and I promise to care for yours with the same love and tenderness as if they were my own. I understand how much your furry friends mean to you, and I'm here to provide them with a loving and caring environment while you’re away. As someone who works from home, I’m fully dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cherished during their stay with me. I am wholeheartedly committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and truly loved while they are in my care. Your furry friends deserve to experience warmth and compassion, and I will do everything I can to provide that during their stay.

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.
“Laura was fantastic! Quick responses, clear communication, and super patient with my energetic - and sometimes mischievous - lab mix pup. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have owned and loved pets my whole life. Growing up I owned dogs, and took care of neighborhood dogs and cats. Now, I own two cats, and love visiting with and taking care of pets of friends and family. I am available most days and times, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Flexible scheduling, and happy to work with your pets routine care and needs! I know how deeply people care for their pets, as a pet owner myself. Each pet has their own personality and attention needs. Whether it be an excitable dog, or a cat that needs a little extra space to feel comfortable, I think it is important to make sure the level they need is appropriately met!
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.
“Paul was great with our senior dog! He was very patient with her on their walks. He was also quick to respond and kept us updated each day. Will definitely use him again!”
“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.

“Nathan has been walking my dog, Obi, consistently 3 days per week for two weeks and has done a great job!

About: I grew up having dogs and have always loved caring for them! I've been dog sitting for 6+ years for friends and family and treat all dogs as my own. They're always part of the family and allowed on furniture, get plenty of play, walks, attentions, and of course treats (if allowed by you!). Flexible office/WFH schedule that will be tailored to your dogs needs! We will start each day with a walk or yard time (whatever your dog prefers), make sure they are let out every few hours, and always get exercise in the evening (whether it's another walk, yard time, or the dog park if they're up for it!). Fenced in front AND back yard! My 3.5 year old doodle, Millie, is friendly and loves everyone. She mostly loves to nap but gets excited to have other dogs over and likes to play - in small doses :).
“As always Melanie, Greg and their kids did a fantastic job taking care of our pups. They always come home happy and exhausted. They will continue to be our go-to Rover sitters!”
“I’d definitely book with Christian again. She took great care of my dog. Sent pictures everyday and was very attentive during my dog’s stay. Sometimes with other Rover stays, my dog acts differently or shy for a few days. My dog was in perfect spirits after her stay with Christian.”
“Jennifer is an exceptional catsitter. My cat is very fearful when in an unfamiliar environment, but Jennifer put time, patience, and consistent effort into making him feel relaxed, and he became so comfortable, that he'd brush up against her, allow her to pet him, and sit next to her. Not everyone has a way animals, but Jennifer definitely does. I highly recommend her services.”
“Bhumika and Ravikamur were really great sitters for my dog, Kobe. They have a dog of their own so I was happy to know that he had someone to play with. They sent me pictures everyday and it was clear that he was very comfortable and happy during his stay. They were also accommodating and flexible, but also really kind overall. I’ll definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Sarah is a fantastic sitter. Previous to my dog's stay, we met up, and she introduced her lovely pup to my boy. It was an instant hit! Sarah was quick to respond and easygoing, which helps with my dog's Type A personality. Finding the right sitter has been a bit challenging, but Sarah hits all the right marks. She kept me updated with my dog, and I could tell he was having a great time! I feel comfortable and secure having Sarah watch my dog, and I would book again.”
