“Mariela was great! She’s everything you want in a sitter - interested in your dog’s personality, flexible, and good at sending regular updates and pictures. Right from the introductory meeting, she was observing Nelly and asking me questions about her habits and quirks, and I felt perfectly at ease leaving her in Mariela’s care. Would 100% books again!”
“Supon watched our dog Finley for a few days while we were out of town and boy did she have a blast. From sunning herself on the roof to visiting nearby embassies to tons of hanging out with other dog friends—my husband and I started to wonder whether Finley was having a better vacation than we were! Supon took amazingly good care of Finley, and it was such a relief to know she was in good hands (and a joy to get the photos updating us about her weekend). We can’t recommend Supon enough.”

About: Raising a dachshund, a large Pitbull mix, and caring for friends' pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs, have given me extensive canine experience. I am caring, attentive, and flexible, tailor my approach to meet your dog's unique needs and personality. Working from home as well as my own need for daily walks, gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for pets through out the week. I prioritize reliability, trustworthiness, and safety when caring for pets. I can follow specific instructions, ensure a secure environment, and provide attentive, care to meet their needs.
“My 12lb mini poodle turns into a sled dog, pulling me to Supon's front door, every time we're on the street. We're all so grateful for Supon's caring environment and fantastic communication.”
“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!”
“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 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.
“Had a great experience with Fengyuan providing daycare for Marigold! Got lots of photo updates during the day and she made a new friend out of Chicago 🤗”
“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!”
“Holly was fantastic!! She took the best care of my boy Jax. Her communication was great and I could tell Jax had the best time with her! I would highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student on break, and most of my classes during the semester are online. This means I’m home full-time on all non-clinical days and have plenty of time to give your pets my full attention. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Jack was fantastic!! He took great care of our 8-month-old puppy. He took her on lots of walks, taught her a new trick, and sent us regular photo and text updates. I would use him again in a heartbeat. Our dog was happy and tired when she came home!”
“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.”
“So happy to have found Nina & Chris for my dog. They were very communicative and gave many updates during the day. We did a daycare text-run ahead of a work trip I have scheduled in a few weeks, to see if my dog fit into their household. Glad things went well!”
“Kanishka was great with Farley and her little pup is so sweet. Photos and regular updates showed a happy, comfortable dog. I will definitely look her up again for a return visit.”
“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!!!”
“Lina had a great time with Helena and Nathan. The backyard is huge, and she loved running with her new dog friends. Didn’t get to meet Nathan this time, but Helena was wonderful with Lina. We will definitely book again.”

She’s incredibly communicative and so flexible with my unpredictable schedule—I can book her a few days in advance, and she always accommodates.

Both my girls are so comfortable with her—she’s truly a gem! I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! I took a break from pet sitting but I am so excited to be back! I love all kinds of animals! I have patience for those animals that may be timid or nervous. I can work with training or to just give an opportunity for exercise. I am up for anything! Dogs have become a passion of mine, and I am here to help you take care of your furry friend. They are precious companions and deserve a life where they are loved and paid attention to. That's what I am here for! I can help both your furry friend and help you by providing services and to love on your pet. It can be worry-some to hand your companion over to another so I am here to alleviate that stress. I am between jobs so I have lot of time for walks, play, stimulation etc. Your pet's health and well-being is my priority. I am happy to take your pet on any walks. There are plenty of trails around the Arlington area that are pet friendly. I am happy to play with your pet and give them lots of love!

“We are so happy with Albedardo. He is such a kind, conscientious and intelligent young man. We’ve always worried when trusting someone new to look after our furry children, but with Albedardo it was immediately clear that he is organised, professional and thorough. He made sure to learn as much as possible about our pups before walking them which really put us at ease to know that he genuinely cares about our pups’ wellbeing as well as delivering a quality service. I highly recommend contacting Albedardo if you want someone who is organised and transparent, who loves to do his best, and who earns your trust.”

“Brian did such a great job caring for my boys! They are tired and happy! I could tell they felt very comfortable with him and in his home. He has a big yard, which I think any dog would love.

“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!”
