“Tamara was great! My dogs had a great time at her place and they were very well taken care of. My senior dog needed medication and to take it easy and Tamara had no problem accommodating him, while my younger dog was playfully active and Tamara also took great care of her.”
“Bella is an amazing Pet Sitter and dog groomer! This is the first time anyone has ever kept my Pom so I was a little nervous. All those nerves were put to reset the moment we met and you assured me my puppy was in good hands. I appreciate all the messages and photos you sent. These are some of the best photos I have of my puppy! I will definitely book you again and recommend you to outer pet owners.”
“Desirae was absolutely wonderful and treated our pup like family. Her and her family are super sweet and she would send us pictures and keep us updated on how our girl was doing. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter since we adopted her. It was hard leaving her for the weekend, but it helped knowing that she was on good hands. Thank you so much Desirae!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pup!! I couldn't recommend her more!! She is SO kind and caring. I could tell from the moment we had a meet and greet with her and her pups. She provided us daily updates on our pup and treats your pets just as she does her own. I was so relieved to find someone that I can trust our beloved furbaby with from now on. I was kind of upset that my pup wasn't more excited to come home, but that's just a reflection of the good time she had on her little vacay!! 🤣 Highly recommend Lauren for all your fur baby care!!”
“Our pup had a great time and felt right at home! He enjoyed hanging out with the family (human and canine). Cindy was very communicative during his stay, and we enjoyed seeing pictures of their walks plus playtime and snuggles.”
“Buck had another great stay with Katherine. He played with puppies and she helped him learn how to play as an older dog without getting over enthusiastic. She always sends videos and pictures which I love.”
“Lori agreed to sit our pup Rowena, who we had only had for about 3.5 weeks by the time of our trip, and we were fairly nervous about leaving her so soon! However, Lori was so friendly and excited about meeting/watching her, and she and James were clearly very attentive and encouraging to her for the duration of the stay, even as she was more reserved and shy than at home. Lori communicated throughout the stay and sent a happy Weena home with a neckerchief and a bone. We hope Weena can visit again soon! Thanks so much, Lori. ??”
“We left our dear Rose with Kristen for 9 days. She came back a very happy pup. Kristen was really amazing and was very responsive to all our questions throughout. She also shared pics when asked for. I will definitely recommend her and Rose has found a permanent home away from home.”
“Jordan was amazing. In her profile she mentions last-minute options & that saved our last minute trip. I'm new to Rover & expected people's availability was accurate but over a dozen people provided bad info. She accepted hours before we dropped our dog with her. She was kind & brought my dog on errands & Starbucks for a pup cup.😂 Her location is super convenient driving from Arlington to 81 on 66. She has a few children that loved playing with Opal. She didn't introduce her dog with ours which is fine. Would definitely reach out again if we go that way.”
About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!
“Top notch care taker. Alexsys cares about what she is doing and is confident with handling all types of dogs. The communication, photos and videos she provider were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her and will be definitely booking again!”
“Erin was great with Scout! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures of him while we were at my brothers wedding at The View at Bluemont! It was nice to know he was loved and got plenty of attention while we were away for weekend. I am sure he will miss them!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”

“Wonderful experience! She was great to work with—always prompt with communication and reliable. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands while I was away.”
“Charlotte did a phenomenal job! We had pictures and a short report from every visit and knew our fur babies were well cared for while we spent a few days away. Our cats were both happy and so were we! We will definitely be calling on her again next time we need a sitter.”
“The kitties had a great time with Zach looking after them! Our second time with him as a sitter, and he continues to provide great care, with consideration that puts him a step above. Thank you, Zach!”
“Absolutely amazing with my anxious senior cat with constipation issues. 10 out of 10 recommend. He normally hates everyone, including me half the time, but he loved Christin.”
“Ashley took excellent care of my cat Tala while I was away (even when Tala was not at her nicest!). Ashley made sure she understood my instructions at our meet and greet, and sent photos and updates for every drop-in visit. She was friendly, reliable, and professional—everything you want for someone watching your pet.”
“Lauren was very caring, responsible and communicative. She is amazing and I 100% recommend her. I will try to book her all the time we need visits for our cat. Thanks Lauren!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, including kittens and newborns 🐾 I have assisted with cat births and cared for newborn kittens, including cases where the mother was unable to care for them. I understand cat behavior well, including independent, shy, or sensitive cats, and I always respect their space and personality. I am attentive, patient, and always make sure each cat feels safe, calm, and comfortable.
“Nothing but great things to say about Molly. She was on time, stayed the whole length of visit, was kind and generous to my boy and gave him lots of attention and play time. I received multiple photos and videos of him being a total goober with her. She made me feel reassured and secure in knowing that he was in very capable hands. 10/10, would recommend!”
“Sherry was amazing! We decided to go on a last minute trip and she met with us the night before we left. She was so nice and a joy to be around so we knew Charlie would love her! This was our first time leaving him but we were reassured by her personality. She did everything we wanted and more. We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Taylor was amazing when I needed a cat sitter at the last minute! She was so patient and gentle and my shy kitties quickly warmed up to her. It was such a relief to know they were in great hands! I highly recommend Taylor and won’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“I used Rover for the first time and chose Jordan because of experience based on her photos with bigger dogs. She booked a last minute with a 3 day commitment requiring 2 drop in visits per day. She communicated with me quick and well, sent photos etc. I was unsure about using Rover and thought I might need to call or text, but now fully confident in the service. I would book with Jordan again in the future and probably won't go back to boarding. Our dog seemed happy to stay at home, and not stress being away from us and at a kennel.”
“So helpful and communicative as always! I consistently book Madison to check on my cats when I'm out of town and am always at ease knowing my cats are cared for. She is reliable and my cats enjoy her company. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had cats since before I can remember, and have dealt with orphaned kittens and treating infections. I get along with cats very well because of my calm personality and I have experience with all sorts of personalities and quirks. I am very attentive and consistent of what you and your cats needs are.
“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”
About: I have walked and dog-sat for 7 years now with great reviews. Taken care of small 15 pound dogs to 80 pound dogs. Able to care with full attention and provide the best support. Flexible schedule, with willingness to negotiate certain times. Own 1 dog of my own, and have always had a dog in the house. I do not have any prejudice against specific dog breeds. Friendly personality, easy-going, and willing to match any dogs energy levels. Any restrictions, such as food or physical, are able to be accommodated and discussed. Possibility of last-minute scheduling, but be mindful of possible conflicts. I would need to know if the dog has any history of violence or biting, as that is a key factor for me to plan. I am a freelancer and have no major commitments that require my attention so I am able to fit pet sitting into my schedule very easily. I am able to do walks short or long, play dates, travel, medications, crating, dietary challenges, and most requirements that would come up for a pets needs.
“Sunanda was immensely helpful with the care of my cats while we were away. With her great attention to detail and love for animals, I can definitely recommend her services for any pets needs. Definitely will rebook!”

“Jordan was amazing! I plan to book her again if available! I can tell my pup was excited & happy with his doggy daycare visits. Not only did she accept my last minute booking, but she was open and very negotiable with pick uo & drop off times. She frequently sent pics, walked my pup multiple time a day & had no doubts leaving my dog in her care. Would highly encourage anyone to consider booking her for pet services!”
“Cav and his wife took great care of our sweet Parsley while we were in Luray for a quick family getaway this past weekend. They showed us the area where Parsley would be staying, safe and clean with little white boards for each doggy detailing their needs (they had only one other canine customer at the time that Parsley was there). Their land is beautiful and they sent us pictures of Parsley while she was enjoying her time with them. Cav and his wife are kind and professional humans who are clearly committed to taking care of the dogs staying with them. We will be back!”
“Lauren was a great sitter! She was very conscientious about making Max’s stay comfortable for him and checked in with me throughout the day. I would definitely have her watch him again”
About: Hello all! I’d love to help you with your pet care needs. I have had pets most of my life, and am the current owner of a 3 year old chihuahua mix, and an 12 year old chocolate point siamese. I started using Rover over the summer a few years ago and have had so many amazing clients! It has also been a great experience when it comes to socializing my young pup. Before using Rover, I took care of family members pets and would find my own boarding, dog walking and drop in clients. I currently do pet sitting in addition to my full time job. I work for a high school so I get plenty of dates off including winter, spring and summer breaks. During these times I’d be home full time. Otherwise, Monday-Friday I care for the dogs when I wake up, go to work, come home and continue their care. That’s pretty much all I do. I have a fenced yard that gives my boarders (as well as my pup) plenty of room to run and play! Boarders stay on the main level of my house and are allowed on furniture, unless discouraged by owners. You are more than welcome to bring anything you think would make your pet more comfortable during their stay (ex. Beds, crates, favor toys or treats). If you crate your dog/s at night or while no one is home, I will do the same. I work full time but can balance your pets needs with my schedule. They will have a morning routine of going outside to potty and eating before I head to work. I often leave a tv on for them and I also have cameras to keep an eye on them while away. When I return home, they will have free roam from being inside to going out to the fenced yard to play and explore whenever they would like. I’ll feed again in the evenings (based on your feeding instruction of course) and eventually tuck them in for bed. :) For boarding, your pet will have access to my fenced in backyard where they can play and explore. When I’m away from the house, I can crate your pet upon your request. I leave it up to the owner! Your pet will be boarded on my main level. I NEVER leave pets outside and unattended while away from the house.
About: I have experience with working on obedience training, dog walking/sitting, I have worked at animal shelters and with police dogs. I can guarantee the best care for your pet ensuring you and your pet will be satisfied! I’m not currently working so I have wide availability ensuring that I can make busier times work and ensure your animals are well cared for! I never leave food or candles out so they can never swipe things off the counter. I also never socialize with people or other animals unless approved by parents.
About: Dogs have always been part of our life and are treated as a member of the family. When in our house the dogs are allowed on furniture and we will treat them as they were our dog. We welcome calls to check up on your animal while they are staying with us. We will give them plenty of attention and someone will be around in the house to make sure they are doing well. We look forward to having your animal stay will us and giving them attention while they are here. We can even send you pictures or videos while you are gone to see how they are enjoying their stay. I am retired as a special education teacher and enjoy animals. Last year I lost my dog Sammy who was 19 years old and look forward to being with dogs. Our family treats pets like part of our family. We like to spend time with them and interact in the house as well as outside.
“Siska did an incredible job watching Prayse . She kept me informed with pics and updates ; which , helped me feel very relaxed with the care I knew Praise was receiving . Would highly recommend.”
“Emily was fantastic with my dog. She is a very caring pet parent as well as pet sitter. She gave great communication and pictures. I could tell Dolly was super happy to be there. I will continue to use her in the future.”
“Cara is the best! She is prompt and professional and her kind and calming presence made our Daisy take to her right away. Daisy absolutely loves her and we are so happy to have found her! Thank you!”
“Haejin & Herscel were wondering caretakers! They were open to taking my dog for daycare a few days before and treated her so well. I liked that they only take a few dogs a day to reduce exposure and ensure they are all being watched. I loved the occasional photo and video updates, which her other daycare doesn't do it all. She came home very tired from playing all day, which was exactly what we wanted. I look forward to using them again!”
“Rippy spent 2 days with Alexsys and had an amazing time. Alexsys kept us updated and sent pictures. It was clear that our doggie loved his time with her. Alexsys was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. We will book with her again when we come to town.”
“Sophie enjoyed her day with Aaron! She was right at home with him as soon as she met him. Aaron sent pictures and it was obvious Sophie was content and having lots of fun! I did not worry at all. I highly reccomend Aaron and we will definitely be bringing Sophie back!”
About: I've always had a love for animals and love working with them! I've grown up with dogs and love to be around them. My mom used to breed labs and I would help her socialize and take care of the puppies to prepare them for their new homes! My family always had at least six dogs at a time that I would help take care of as well! I also used to work for a kennel for almost two years, I have worked for a doggie daycare as well for about 2 years! I am currently enrolled in an online vet tech course and plan to finish that in the next year or so. I currently work a full time job 8-430 but am available weekends and would love to watch your pets!
About: I grew up on a mini farm surrounded by animals — from lizards and hermit crabs to dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from anxious puppies and kittens to senior dogs with health or mobility challenges, as well as cats with special needs. Every pet in my care receives the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m available to provide flexible care around errands and appointments, giving your pets love, attention, playtime, companionship, and comfort throughout the day, tailored to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to ensure comfort and familiarity. Pets are supervised at all times, with fresh water, treats, and attention. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, adapting to any special needs, mobility issues, or anxieties. Safety, consistency, and love are my priorities, so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I introduce pets safely, separating them from my own during initial meetings. I provide a secure space for each pet and use mini fencing to ensure safety, even though my property is not fully fenced. I follow the same level of care and safety as I would in your home.
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”

About: I got my first dog at the age of 10 and trained him myself, aswell as other family dogs we grew to love over the years. Now 30, I have 2 pups of my own that I’ve given my whole world to. I love my animals as if they are family and yours would be no different. I believe animals bring out the best in us & I try to bring the out the best in them when I can instill any behavioral help! I’m currently working part-time and spend the rest of my day as a homemaker while my son is in preschool so I would have plenty of time to handle your pups after I drop my son off in the morning. I can provide walks, medications, feedings and free play in our half-acre fenced in back yard. I follow your guide lines with meal times and breaks. What’s important to you is what I aim to achieve in my visits wether that be play time, picture updates or cuddling on the couch making sure they feel comfortable when they stay for a visit or I come into their space. If your pup is one that can be ornery and needs more supervision rest assured I’m always home and do not leave them unsupervised unless we have arranged for them to have a crate if I need to run out. These are all things we can discuss in a meet and greet!
About: What sets me apart is my personal experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. I’ve raised and cared for five dogs throughout my life, including Labs, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, and German Shepherds, so I understand the very different needs of small, medium, and large breeds. I trained my own puppy from 8 weeks old, teaching her a wide range of tricks and good behaviors, which gave me a lot of patience and training skills. I’m also comfortable handling more challenging dogs as one of my Chihuahuas was very aggressive, which taught me how to read body language and safely manage reactive pets, from a young age. In addition, I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve helped raise multiple dogs into old age, including a German Shepherd that lived until 15, and a Labrador Retriever that lived until 17! I understand the gentleness, and care older dogs require. Overall, I bring a lot of confidence to this role because of my genuine understanding of dogs at every stage of life. I just finished my undergrad and plan to be home all summer. I begin graduate school in the fall online and will practically have no big everyday commitments. I have a few vacations planned but besides that I am an open book willing to work anytime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. (Dogs know their schedule!) I follow all instructions closely and carefully for any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I have cared for dogs that experience extreme distress from their owner being gone and I have developed my skills to better care for dogs experiencing this. I’m also very attentive to behavior and health, so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect my client’s home by secure and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make both the pet, and the owner feel completely at ease, just as I would want if my dog was being watched.

I am able to work with you and I can watch your pets at your home or take them to my home if needed!

About: I’ve regularly lived with/taken care of pets in my adulthood. Walking, pet sitting, house sitting are all activities of which I am fond and familiar. Always happy for any chance to spend time with dogs/cats and help relieve stress on their owners. I work from home full time and have an incredibly friendly/energetic dog of my own. He loves playing with other dogs, so you can count on their constant stimulation. I have a house with an unfenced yard located in the Apple Mountain Lake community. I will generally crate your pooch overnight, and may ask you to bring one along if you are boarding more than one dog at a time.
“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

About: I have had dogs since I was a toddler and have grown up caring for them. I currently have one of my own (8yrs) who is my entire world. I currently work full time for a consulting firm but I am looking to do pet care part time. My weekends are usually open and weeknights are also pretty flexible. Pet sitting is my way of stopping myself from getting another dog. I love spending time with all animals, but especially in places where they feel comfortable. Each visit will involve a walk and some play time and a lot of love. I try to get my own dog out as much as possible so I would aim to do the same for yours as well.
“Courtney went the extra mile by coming to meet us the day before our booking, which we truly appreciated. She’s not only friendly and punctual but also has a deep knowledge of dogs that immediately put us at ease. Our high-energy Australian Shepherd, Millie, was thrilled to meet her, and Courtney handled her enthusiasm with ease. Today, Courtney came by to walk Millie while we were out, and once again, she was punctual and professional. She left us thorough notes and sent a few photos, so we knew Millie was in excellent hands. We’ve already arranged for Courtney to stay with Millie for a few days while we’re away, confident that she will be well cared for.”

“Desirae was absolutely wonderful and treated our pup like family. Her and her family are super sweet and she would send us pictures and keep us updated on how our girl was doing. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter since we adopted her. It was hard leaving her for the weekend, but it helped knowing that she was on good hands. Thank you so much Desirae!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pup!! I couldn't recommend her more!! She is SO kind and caring. I could tell from the moment we had a meet and greet with her and her pups. She provided us daily updates on our pup and treats your pets just as she does her own. I was so relieved to find someone that I can trust our beloved furbaby with from now on. I was kind of upset that my pup wasn't more excited to come home, but that's just a reflection of the good time she had on her little vacay!! 🤣 Highly recommend Lauren for all your fur baby care!!”
“Our pup had a great time and felt right at home! He enjoyed hanging out with the family (human and canine). Cindy was very communicative during his stay, and we enjoyed seeing pictures of their walks plus playtime and snuggles.”
“Buck had another great stay with Katherine. He played with puppies and she helped him learn how to play as an older dog without getting over enthusiastic. She always sends videos and pictures which I love.”
“Lori agreed to sit our pup Rowena, who we had only had for about 3.5 weeks by the time of our trip, and we were fairly nervous about leaving her so soon! However, Lori was so friendly and excited about meeting/watching her, and she and James were clearly very attentive and encouraging to her for the duration of the stay, even as she was more reserved and shy than at home. Lori communicated throughout the stay and sent a happy Weena home with a neckerchief and a bone. We hope Weena can visit again soon! Thanks so much, Lori. ??”
“We left our dear Rose with Kristen for 9 days. She came back a very happy pup. Kristen was really amazing and was very responsive to all our questions throughout. She also shared pics when asked for. I will definitely recommend her and Rose has found a permanent home away from home.”
About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!

“What can I say? Sarah was fantastic! The whole experience was so easy and wonderful for our dog. Sarah was flexible and very responsive. Super accommodating. She kept us supplied with lots of updates and photos during the whole visit. Our hound sometimes has anxiety during new experiences but she was so well cared for that she felt immediately at ease when we arrived and through the whole visit. Sarah and her wonderful family took such good care of her that I would absolutely want my dog to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
