“Sarah took great care of our dog for almost 2 weeks. She showed a lot of patience with our young dog and communicated well, sending photos everyday. Coco got along with her dog Maizy well, and clearly enjoyed her stay.”

I got photos and numerous updates everyday and she handled my feisty 1-year-old little terrier, Ruby, like a pro. tons of exercise, love, and a window to the street for some people and dog watching met all of Ruby's needs. I totally trust and appreciate the outstanding care and attention she provides.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, a lifelong animal lover and professional belly-rub provider. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and have also cared for bunnies, fish, and birds, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I've volunteered at animal shelters and pet sat for family friends, giving me experience with everything from energetic zoomie enthusiasts to professional couch potatoes. I offer walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of dog-friendly walking areas nearby, giving pets lots of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Before caring for your pet, I'd love to learn about their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions. The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I offer free local pick up within 3 miles!

“Aisha did a great job with my new rescue dog. I had only had Maggie for a week before I unfortunately had to leave her for the weekend, but Aisha took excellent care of her. We did a meet and greet in advance that was really helpful and made Maggie familiar with Aisha and her home. Aisha sent me a number of pictures and frequent updates. She was also very patient with Maggie even when she had a couple accidents. When I came to pick Maggie up it was clear that she really liked Aisha. I would not hesitate to use her again. I really appreciated her help!”

From the start, it was clear she was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared about their well-being. What really stood out was how quickly our cats warmed up to her—they’re usually a bit selective with new people, but they took to her right away and were even giving her snuggles. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for with feeding times and individual play sessions, but also happy and comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Claudia came very early each morning to give my elderly Devon Rex breakfast. She was also in charge of forcing her atenolol pill into her mouth, which, although tiny, is adamantly refused by her. She kept me informed and was willing to come an extra day after I heard a number of times: “D.C passengers: Your flight is now delayed until…..””
“Julie was great! Short and sweet communication, photographs not just of my cat but of the care (food provided, litter cleaned, etc) which I really appreciate and gives me extra assurance that my kitty is being well cared for. Would absolutely book again. Very grateful.”

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!
“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.

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for homes, people, and pets. Throughout my work in housekeeping, many clients entrusted me with the care of their pets, including both dogs and cats, often in households with multiple animals. I am experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, walking dogs, basic grooming support, monitoring well-being, and providing both playful and gentle companionship depending on each pet’s personality and needs. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and administering basic attentive care when required. As a former CNA, caregiving has always been second nature to me. Whether caring for people or animals, I lead with patience, compassion, and responsibility. I understand the importance of trust when someone is away from their loved ones human or furry and I take that responsibility seriously. I am also skilled at multitasking and managing busy households while still ensuring each pet receives individual attention and care. My goal is simple: for pet parents to feel completely at ease knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for in a calm and loving environment. In addition to pet care, I teach classes on Zoom twice a week as part of my regular routine. This allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and plan my availability in advance. Because of this, I am able to reliably provide dog and cat care services throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings as needed. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent attention and care while their owners are away. I provide pet care directly in the client’s home so pets can remain in a familiar, comfortable environment and keep their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, litter box maintenance, and any special care needs. I also make sure pets receive companionship, attention, and gentle interaction based on their personality whether they are playful, shy, or more independent. I am very mindful of keeping the home clean, secure, and respected at all times. With my background in housekeeping and CNA work, I am used to being responsible in other people’s homes and understanding the importance of trust, privacy, and consistency. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe and cared for, and that owners return to both happy animals and a well-kept home.
“Rebecca was a very caring and personable sitter! She supported miley when she had an upset stomach and was anxious. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay as well. I would recommend anyone looking for a quality rover to seek Rebecca”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, starting with my own family pups. In college, I gained even more experience through another dog-walking app, giving me the chance to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or keeping your dog company for the weekend, I treat every pup like they’re part of my family! I have flexible plans on weekends, perfect for boarding. I also have free time to do walks after work on weekdays or throughout the weekend I live in a pet-friendly condo close to many walking paths and Old Town Alexandria. Dogs will enjoy safe walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention
“Amazing dog sitter! Nirvana always kept me posted on how my boy Kai was doing, it looked like they had a blast together, and she was very flexible and accommodating on my flight delay back home. Highly recommend.”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Carolyn was a fantastic host for my dog Jenny. Jenny fit right in with her two pups. There were some minor hiccups that she informed me about at pick up, but overall they treated her as one of their own. Carolyn made sure that Jenny was well exercised, taking her on the trails nearby almost every day. She also made sure Jenny took her medication everyday. I would gladly rebook with Carolyn the next time I need someone to watch Jenny!”
