About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have been a dedicated pet parent for the past 13 years. Over the years, I have worked closely with professional trainers and dog behaviorists, gaining valuable knowledge about canine behavior, training, and enrichment. My passion for dogs extends beyond companionship—I genuinely enjoy understanding how they learn and helping them feel confident, safe, and happy. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including providing compassionate support and specialized care during their later years. Having shared my life with dogs through every stage, I understand the importance of treating each pet as an individual and caring for them with patience, attentiveness, and love, just as I would my own family. work from home, which allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the day. I live in a townhouse and ensure dogs receive plenty of exercise and enrichment through two long walks daily, along with multiple shorter walks and potty breaks tailored to each dog's individual needs, energy level, and routine. My flexible schedule enables me to maintain consistency, provide regular supervision, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for during their stay. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of affection, attention, and one-on-one care tailored to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and dietary needs. Whether your pup enjoys active playtime, relaxing companionship, or extra cuddles, I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and at home. To give you peace of mind while you're away, I provide daily updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected and see how much fun your dog is having during their stay.
“I was a nervous leaving my senior dog with sitters I hadn’t met before, but Iryna and James put me at ease right away. They took such great care of my dog—he looked happy and relaxed in every photo they sent (and they sent plenty of updates, which I really appreciated!). It’s clear they genuinely love and understand dogs, and they treated my pup like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Tatiana is absolutely the best! She cared for my golden doodle for a week and took time to talk/Zoom with me beforehand to ensure a smooth welcome into her home. She sent many pictures and videos during his stay. She sent daily updates which definitely let me know she was spending quality time with my dog and getting to know his personality. She’s fantastic! When booking with her, you’ll never have to worry!”
“Joanna was extremely professional and attentive to my dogs. It is obvious that she knows exactly what she is doing. She absolutely loves and adores dogs. Her home is well equipped and safe for pets. Her communication is excellent and she is an overall friendly person! I plan on sending my two dogs to Joanna’s again and highly recommend her services to others!”
“My poodle Luke stayed with Sherine during this holiday week. He was well taken care of and she sent me updates with pics and videos regularly. She made him feel comfortable at home and also me while traveling knowing that my fur baby is in wonderful and caring company. Thank you Sherine ❤️”

“Jannatul was amazing, she came on time and made sure that my cat was well taken care. She did everything that we discussed and actually better. I received pictures of my cat getting comfortable with jannatul as days passed by and that gives me an assurance that in future I will ask for her services again.”
“Jackie is our go-to cat sitter. It's obvious that she really enjoys caring for our kitties. She always provides plenty of pictures of them while we're away which is always great to see. Jackie always goes above and beyond. She's the best!”
“Emily was our first Rover that we used since we adopted our kitty. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent very cute pictures of our kitty as well as followed all directions we gave while we were gone. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Vanessa did a wonderful job of taking care of our cats while we were out of town. Also cleaned up after one of my cat. Very thorough at her work and provided a timely care.”
“Kelly did a great job looking after our pet cat while we were away for the long weekend. She was available at short notice , was very responsive , responsible with follow up, and detailed with directions. Highly recommend.”
“Lauren was extremely friendly and communicative with me while she was looking after my cats, she went above and beyond by cleaning up messes they made and picking up packages left outside. I really appreciated working with her and would definitely book her again.”
“Amy took wonderful care of our two senior Siamese cats while we were away for a week. Caring for older cats requires patience, attention to detail, and a genuine love of animals, and Amy exceeded our expectations in every way. She reliably administered medication, carefully followed their routines, and made sure both cats were comfortable and well cared for. What truly set Amy apart was the time and attention she devoted to them beyond their basic needs. She played with them, spent quality time with them, and made the effort to build a bond with each cat, which meant so much to us. Amy also kept us updated throughout our trip, giving us peace of mind that our beloved pets were happy and in excellent hands. When we returned home, our cats were relaxed, content, and clearly had been given lots of attention and affection. We highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. We would gladly have her care for our cats again.”
“June is FANTASTIC and took such great care of our girls while we were away. Even our most critical kitty fell in love with her. She has a lovely way about making each kitty feel comfortable based on their unique personality.”
“We adore Tracy! When we met her for a meet-and-greet, we were impressed with how much she interacted with our cats while talking to us. She knows cats, which was exactly what we were looking for. During the pet sit, she was on time every time. She sent pictures of our kitties at each visit. We didn't have any worries about our house or our cats while we were away. Our cats quickly warmed up to her after 1 day, which is a feat in itself. Luke usually hides from new people. He never warmed up to our old pet sitter, whom we had for years. If you need a pet sitter, Tracy is the one to hire.”
“So grateful for Karisa's excellent care. I booked her already twice and my cat(s) was/were in great hands. She was punctual and reliable, and was able to give my cat her medication. She sent me daily updates and photos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. I'll definitely be using her services again.”

“Abby did a great job checking in on our cat Simba while we were away! She spent time with him giving him all the butt scratches and making him feel so loved! I recommend Abby to take care of your pets!”
“Nouf did a great job taking care of our pet cat while we were away for a long weekend. She was very responsive, prompt and completed all tasks perfectly. Will definitely hire her again if she is available.”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities since I was young, helping neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, litter care, playtime, and companionship.

“Left Flash, my 5 year old Bichon under the care of Zach for a day and Zach was so responsive and sent regular updates about Flash. He took great care of Flash and we were assured that Flash would have had a great day with Zach. Thanks Zach and would recommend Zach.”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Nina was wonderful, attentive and very caring towards my 2 dogs. She was in constant communication with me and very flexible and accommodating to their needs.

About: I’m a proud dog mom and lifelong dog lover. I’ve spent over 20 years around dogs, from growing up with small breeds to now raising my own little guy, Simba. I’ve trained him myself, regularly dog-sit for family and friends, and I’m the go-to in my circle for dog advice and tips. I also have young children in the home, so your dog must be comfortable around kids. That said, we always supervise interactions and make sure your pup has space to relax, play, or nap peacefully, whatever makes them feel at home. What makes me different? I treat every dog like I’d want mine to be treated, with care, attention, and a little fun thrown in. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of supervision, play, and outdoor time.

Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles are built right into my routine. Whether it’s a calm cuddle buddy or an energetic pup, I adjust the schedule to meet their needs.

Whether your pup is active and playful or laid-back and cuddly, I adjust the schedule to meet their needs. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.

“We could not have dreamed of a better walking experience for our Skye than Amy’s sniffaris with him during the past two weeks!

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from puppies to senior dogs and even very large breeds. I worked at Dulles Pet Hotel & Daycare, where I provided attentive care, maintained clean and safe environments, administered medications, and monitored the health and behavior of all pets in my care. Beyond professional experience, I have been dog-sitting for multiple families throughout high school and continue to do so while in college, providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering medications. I love pet sitting because I strive to give the best care, I provide the type of pet care I would want my puppy to have. (and I love my dog with my whole heart, she’s my baby)I also have my own dog, which has given me daily hands-on experience with training, care, and attention. I also love love love big dogs, I used to have a Mastiff growing up which made me fall in love with dogs! In addition to my pet care skills, I worked as a sales associate at Good Dog Rocky, where I built strong relationships and developed trustworthiness and reliability—qualities I bring to caring for every pet. I will take care of your dog like it’s my own, and you can expect nothing short of the best care from me, ensuring your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I’m currently a college student at VCU studying Economics and Statistics. My class schedule is fairly light, which gives me plenty of flexible time to walk, play with, and care for a furry friend throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your dog’s needs. I currently live on campus in a dorm room, but back at home, we take excellent care of our puppy! She has a spacious playpen where she can run, play, sleep, and do whatever her heart desires. I bring the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after in their home!
About: Hi, my name is Samantha! I have been caring for dogs for most of my life and bring a genuine passion for animal well-being to every booking. Growing up, my family had a Collie, and from an early age I took on full responsibility for her day-to-day care — managing her feeding schedule, ensuring she received the specific amount of exercise her breed required, and keeping her happy and comfortable at home. As she aged, her care became more complex, and I became the primary person responsible for administering her medication. This experience gave me hands-on confidence with the often-tricky task of getting a dog to take a pill — a skill many pet owners truly appreciate. More recently, I have cared for my neighbors' dogs on multiple occasions over the past several years, building a trusted, ongoing relationship with both the pets and their owners. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to honor those routines so your pup feels safe and at ease while you're away. Whether your dog needs gentle companionship, an energetic walk, or attentive care around a medical routine, I am fully prepared to provide it with patience, reliability, and plenty of love. I am currently a college student on summer break, which means dog walking fits seamlessly and generously into my routine right now. With no classes or academic commitments pulling at my schedule, I have wide-open availability throughout the week — mornings, afternoons, and weekends included. If you need a consistent daily walker this summer, I am in an ideal position to provide exactly that. Having this kind of open schedule means I will never be rushing to fit your dog's walk in between other obligations. I can be fully present, unhurried, and attentive every single time — which makes a real difference in the quality of care your dog receives. Beyond availability, walking dogs is genuinely one of my favorite ways to spend time this summer. Getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals is something I look forward to every day — your dog will not just be a booking on my calendar, they will be the best part of my afternoon. Before every walk, I will arrive a few minutes early to greet your dog calmly and allow them to get comfortable with me before we head out. I will always check in with owners beforehand to understand their dog's specific routine — preferred walking routes, pace, any leash behaviors to be aware of, and whether there are other dogs or triggers to watch out for along the way. During the walk, your dog's safety will be my top priority. I will keep them securely leashed at all times unless the owner has explicitly designated an off-leash area, and I will stay fully attentive — no distractions. I will match the walk's length and energy level to what the dog needs, whether that's a brisk, stimulating outing or a more relaxed stroll. After the walk, I will ensure your dog is settled back home comfortably — wiping muddy paws, refreshing their water bowl, and making sure they are calm and secure before I leave. I will send a post-walk update with a photo so you will always know how the outing went, giving you peace of mind wherever you are.
“Alexis was so sweet to Izzy and was always on time and sent me pictures as I requested. She was also willing to be flexible with times and that was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you Alexis so much!!!”

“Our dog has the best time going to Jennifer's house when we go out of town for the weekend. As soon as we pull up to her driveway he immediately knows where he is and gets so excited to go inside and play with her dog. You can tell her and her family are so warm with their pets. We feel good leaving our dog there knowing he is in great hands having the best time. Jennifer always is great about providing daily communication and pictures. We would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pup”
“Thanks to Lisa and her som! I can't thank you enough for the exceptional care you provided for KoKo! As a new Rover user, I was so relieved and grateful that you were able to accommodate our last-minute boarding request and your flexibility with the drop-off time was truly a lifesaver. It was such a comfort knowing KoKo was enjoying daily walks and had so much space to run and play. The photo updates were absolutely wonderful and really put my mind at ease. You both clearly went above and beyond, we truly appreciate it. We've found our go-to sitters for sure! We'll absolutely be in touch for all our future out-of-town trips.”
“Smitha has been amazing. She sent updates at regular intervals and followed instructions to the T. Bruno in general is a shy guy but adjusted pretty quickly and felt at home at Smitha's home and Smitha family treated him like their family. We felt very comfortable leaving Bruno at Smitha's place. I would be more than happy to rebook with Smitha.”
“Teo had an excellent weekend and a great time playing with Maui. It is the second booking, and I’ll definitely book again. Teo was cheerful getting there, which tells it all.”
“This was the first time our dog, Shira, stayed with Catherine, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Catherine asked a number of questions about Shira so that she could make her feel comfortable and relaxed as Shira can be anxious in new environments. Catherine also took Shira on multiple walks and gave her lots of attention so that after just a few hours Shira was feeling right at home.”
“Xinyi was a phenomenal host to Auto. Seeing him settle in under her care was heartwarming. She took him for walks, sent us daily pictures and updates. We could tell Auto enjoyed his stay. Thanks for having him at your home!”
“Sarah and Joshua took great care of Sadie and Rey!! We were staying nearby for a wedding in Leesburg, VA. They made it so easy for us to drop off and pick the dogs up. The dogs had a great time playing with their dog, Remington in their beautiful home! Sarah and Joshua kept us updated with pics and texts. I would recommend them without reservation! :D”
“Liane is our go to dog sitter. We always feel comfortable when Zoey, our Jack Russel, gets to vacation with her. Liane really goes out of her way to accommodate us. She is the best!”
“I’ve left Rosie with Sujan many times and am confident she receives excellent care and enjoys her time there. She’s always excited when I pull the car up in front of his home.”
“Our dog always has the best time visiting with Darlin and Victor. They treat her like one of their own and she always is so happy and content in their care. They also are so kind and accommodating. Can’t say enough wonderful things!”
“Sandy was great! She was super sweet and her son was the perfect playmate for Bailey. It’s obvious that Sandy loves dogs. She was very accommodating with our schedule too! Thank you🫶🏻”
About: I have lots of dog experience, as I had my own dog for 6 years and loved training him and taking him outside! Although I do not have a yard, there is a small fenced park for dogs very close to my house and usually very free! I love being in the outdoors and making sure your animal is well taken care of🐾 Currently, I am pretty free and will be home most of the time. I can definitely stick to any schedule your pet needs and am very flexible! I have no open doors or pet doors in order to ensure safety. There are no in house plants that may cause issues and I make sure to always keep in contact frequently with the owners with updates!
“Hannah was amazing with our dog Zoe! She kept us updated with photos and messages, and we could tell our pup was happy, safe, and loved the whole time. She handled meds and quirks with so much care. We feel really lucky to have found her and would definitely book again!”
