“My very first time utilizing Rover service providers. I’m so thrilled and pleased with the care that Christine provided. Our initial meet & great definitely eased my anxiety and Marlee took to her right away. Christine provided updates and photos during Marlee’s stay. I could see from the pics that Marlee was enjoying her time and blended well with the other dogs present. Definitely plan to board w/ Christine again. Thanks for taking good care of my fur baby and easing her separation anxiety.”

“Supon is our most trusted dog sitter. Supon has been watching dog Teddy (Yorkie-8 years) since 2018. He is very attentive to our dog Teddy & sends us updates and pictures throughout the day. Teddy loves going to Uncle Supons house for a vacation while Mom & Dad are away! Thanks again for another wonderful stay, Supon.”

“Melanie, Greg, and their family were very kind, patient, and communicative about Phoebe during her first overnight stay away from home. We would definitely book them again!”


“Aisha was so amazing in taking care of our high energy doggo for a whole week while we were away for our wedding!! I received updates and photos every day. I was nervous at first because this was our first time using Rover or going away without our doggo, but Aisha made me feel confident and comfortable in her abilities to take care of our boy the very first hour she had him! He had a blast playing at the dog park, got to go on long walks, and made a new doggo friend with her dog. I HIGHLY recommend Aisha to anyone and will definitely be booking her again in the future (if she'll have our silly pup again!) If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She was amazing!”

“We are so lucky we found Virginia! She was flexible and so sweet with our dog, Patches. He became best buds with her dog Sofia, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Looking forward to the next time we go away so Patches can hang out with his new friends again!”

“Tater had a great little staycation with Michelle while we were out of town. We got so many photos of him just having an absolute blast. Their dog Murphy welcomed Tater to toys and cuddles. We were able to enjoy our trip without having to worry about if Tater was okay or enjoying himself. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve wanted a dog ever since I could remember. At 16 years old, my dream finally came true and my family was blessed with our wonderful Maltese, Toby. He is now turning 12 years old this year! In addition to having experience with my own dog, many friends and family have asked me to take care of their fur babies. I’ve had experience with dogs as old at 16 years old and others as young as less than a year - I absolutely love them all! Saturdays and Sundays are free! I work 9am-5pm on the weekdays, Mondays and Fridays I work remote. Tuesday through Thursday I am in office, but my husband will be home to help. I live on the second floor of a condo, so no need to wait for an elevator to get outside! We also have a huge balcony if your fur baby just wants to get some fresh air. If we are in your home, I will make sure to follow all rules and ask questions if I’m unsure about the safety of your pet.

“Amazing experience - Blue had such a good time and I can tell was so happy! We got pictures along the way as well. I knew he was in good hands. Thank you so much Sarachai!”

“Brian has become a trusted and dependable for this single, working dog mom of 2! He is a great communicator and has been incredibly patient and flexible with me when there are travel delays outside of my control. My boys get so excited when we pull up to his house and always return home tired (in a good way!) and happy.”

“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”

“Seamus absolutely loved staying with Yasmine! She was terrific with above and beyond care (special meals, treats, walks, playtime and just hanging out time). We will definitely be repeat customers and recommend Yasmine enthusiastically and without hesitation!!”

“Kristine was absolutely amazing, superb communication and her place is super pup friendly. Jameson is also an awesome pup and got along great with my doggie. Kristine provided daily updates and pictures and made me feel super comfortable with leaving my four legged best friend with her. I would recommend her 1000/1000 times over!”

“Susan and her husband were great to my little dog and treated me with warmth and openness. I loved the daily pictures they took of Autumn and videos of her playing with other dogs. When I had a concern Susan was very understanding and I truly appreciated that. I would love to rebook her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”

“Once again, Lauren was really fantastic with my neurotic little pup. As he has gotten older, he has become more quirky. She adapts wonderfully to every situation. She sends regular updates as well. I would trust her with any dog. Thank you Lauren!”

“Amazing caregivers! My dog had a fantastic staycation and they treated my pup like family. Fantastic communications and timely updates. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM 😊👍🏻”

“We all had such a good experience with Erin! Great communication, loved the pictures and Sherman had such a good time on their walks and outings. Highly recommend. Thank you so much, Erin!”


“Our dog had a great time over a long weekend. He got to play with other dogs outside and had a loving family to stay with. We feel comfortable to having our dog stay again in the future.”


“We were so happy with our experience with Helena and Nathan! After another Rover cancelled on us last minute, they fit us in and truly saved the day! Their yard was amazing - especially for our 95 lb mutt who just loves to run. And our little old man loved the cozy beds around the house. They sent pics and videos every day and our boys came back happy and healthy. As a bonus, while we have noticed our dogs often come back from Rovers smelling like a kennel, after a weekend with Helena and Nathan they came back smelling great!”

She was friendly, punctual and patient, taking the time to get to know both of our skittish kitties which we really appreciated! She sent daily updates with photos, giving us peace of mind and helping us feel connected while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We won’t hesitate to book Sarah again the next time we’re out of town!”

Can’t wait to use your help again soon 💜”

“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.”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“I cannot recommend Scarlett enough. My pup has the BEST time with her and Lassie. His tail is always wagging when he comes see her for his regular daycare. Scarlett’s communication is excellent and I really love all the pictures and video updates she sends throughout the day. She makes sure your pup has a great balance of walks, enrichment, and rest throughout the day. I can see how she really takes the care to love your pup like her own. I couldn’t be happier, thank you Scarlett!!”


“Jack is fantastic with Rolo! You can really tell he’s a dog person, and Rolo clearly feels comfortable and happy with him. He even ate during daycare, which is unusual for him! We’re very happy with Jack and will definitely book again.”

“Supon is the best sitter my dog has had the to stay with! Supon LOVES his doggie clients and my Shih Tzu loves to stay with him. I trust Supon completely, sends great pictures and treats his guests like his own dogs. You couldn't find a better sitter.”

“Diana was great with Pisco! He had such a fun time and she took such good care of him. She’s very responsive, communicative, and makes sure to share fun memories as well. Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”

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.
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all different kinds from a young age! I have a strong love and appreciation for all dogs and their unconditional love. I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years so patience, organization and an intense sense of care are my strongest skills. I am currently in the process of finding a new remote job and am home during the week and most weekends! I love to walk and having a buddy to come with me would make my day. My hours and days are pretty flexible ♥️ I live in an apartment with plenty of outside space around the building to take any pups outside to play with. I don’t have any pets at home so your pet will have my full undivided attention 🤍
“Mochi had the best time at camp with her auntie and uncle and friend Ricky 🐾. Great communication and nice hosts. Thank you! Mochi can’t wait for her next camp day!”

“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.”

“Our pup loved staying with Andrew! It was our first time leaving him since we got him and we were at ease knowing he would have a blast! When we picked him up he immediately passed out in the car.”

“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”

“Watson enjoyed his day with Alainie and her two pups. She is a very responsive and flexible host that accommodated a few last minute changes for our recent booking. We're looking forward to booking with her again!”

“We met Linda, Leo and Fred and instantly felt at ease! She was so warm, kind and genuine. Leo and Fred were both welcoming and friendly towards Pinot. They played so well and Pinot was well taken care of. Thank you!!!”

“Anastasia had The. Best. Day. Ever. at Cynthia’s for doggy day care. Every time she leaves the house for a walk now, she bolts to my husband’s car. It’s new, and she’s only ridden in it once and it was to Cynthia’s, so I’m pretty sure she thinks if she goes in this car, she’ll go see her new doggy friends. We had great communication throughout the day, too. Just a delight to see our pup happy in this new, social environment.”

“We asked Susan to watch our pup for a few days and were so thrilled with her service! Ruby loved playing with The Boyz, and couldn't wait to see them again each morning. Ruby is a shy dog with people she doesn't know, but she bonded with Susan very quickly, and even fell asleep in Susan's arms, which we were amazed by! Susan has a beautiful yard for the dogs to run around and play, and was fantastic at keeping in touch; sending us videos and photos throughout the day. We will definitely ask Susan to dogsit for us again in the near future!”

Happy to check in multiple times a day or whenever preferred. I can drive to your home to accommodate you and your pets schedule. Also happy to send pictures, updates and spend however long preferred with your furry friend.
“Dominique was amazing. I was in a little bit of a bind and he came through for me. Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.”

“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. Every breed from labs to doodles to yorkies. I’ve trained puppies and cared for dogs after health emergencies. I’m excited to meet your fur baby! I’m a full time medical resident who’s interested in walking dogs in the evenings and sitting for dogs on weekends. Interested in incorporating your dogs schedule into my routine I attentively listen to the instructions of the guardian to ensure full understanding of their expectations. I actively observe the surroundings both outside and in the home to avoid issues before they arise. My goal is to have a safe, fun adventure with your companion before they excitedly return into your care
“This was my dog’s first walk with Youlee. My dog was nervous at first but when she came home she was so happy! Youlee was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. I’ll definitely hire her again.”

“Al has proven to be trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I have booked Al a couple of times for dog walks while I’ve been out of town, one booking was multiple days in duration. Al is very communicative and attentive. He respects our home and asks questions if he is unsure about something- like access linens to wipe our dog down from the rain. He does little things like this that assure me that Tacoma is well taken care of in our absence. I peak at the cameras from time to time and my Tacoma’s tail is always wagging when he sees Al. He has become our go-to.”

About: I love being around animals and have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I own a rescue dog, which has taught me the importance of patience and providing a safe, loving environment for animals of all backgrounds. I have volunteered for the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation and the Animal Welfare League of Arlington where I have looked after dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule and committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their families are away. I have recently graduated from William & Mary and have an open schedule with the flexibility to walk, feed, care, and tend to your pet during your preferred times of day. I am also available to house sit and stay overnight with your pet. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure the needs of your pet are prioritized. I will provide updates, send photos of your pet, and communicate clearly. I am respectful, accountable, and will closely follow any instructions you have set for your pet.
