“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.

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.”
“Can’t overstate how great Christine was with Ellie. Ellie is often shy with new people, but Christine was patient and clearly made Ellie feel incredibly at home in a shockingly fast period of time. What’s more, when our flight back got cancelled, Christine didn’t even hesitate to accommodate our delay. And Christine was very diligent in giving us updates during the stay.”

“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard.

We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”

“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”

About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and am typically available to host your pets on Fridays after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends. However, since I am currently on summer break, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide care throughout the day and accommodate your pet's needs while you are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. My goal is to provide a positive and stress free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that I will treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring their needs are met and they feel loved and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats Daisy and Lucy. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.
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.
“Iuliia sent pictures and was very communicative throughout our dogs stay! It was a great experience having Pepper stay with her and we will definitely be back.”
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for years and also helped friends and neighbors with their pets. From feeding to walks and playtime, I make sure every pet feels safe and loved. I work part-time and Lídia works from home full-time, so there’s always someone around to give your pets love and attention every day, even on weekends. We have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and care whenever needed. Your pets will always feel safe and cared for in our home. Lídia works from home all day, so your furry babies are never left alone.

“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
“Kind, accommodating and extremely gentle. My dog misses her instantly and she will always be the person to care for him. She sends pictures and videos and truly is remarkable. Highly recommended”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and cats taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have also volunteered with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for two years, where I have gained additional experience caring for animals and learning about different behaviors and temperaments. In addition to general pet care, I have informal training experience with dogs, including helping reinforce basic commands, positive behaviors, and good routines. I enjoy working with young pets as they learn and helping senior pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is always to provide the same level of attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely four days a week with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I am able to accommodate a pet’s normal routine, whether that includes letting dogs outside for breaks, taking them on a midday walk, providing playtime, or simply spending time with them while they relax. I enjoy creating a consistent and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific instructions. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on providing consistent care, attention, and companionship while respecting the owner’s home. For each pet, I take time to understand their personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful, shy and independent, or require extra patience and care. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!

I will be getting a puppy July 2026 as well so please take that into consideration when booking boarding. I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!

We would absolutely callI on her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi! I’m a recent Physician Assistant graduate from EVMS with over 10 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant.

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 🤍

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life — from our childhood Irish Setter, Sadie, to our five cats and three birds. Beyond family pets, I’ve also cared for my own animals, including my boss’s elderly Chihuahua, Tu, who is now a sweet 15‑year‑old “little old lady” that I look after entirely, as well as my pony, Sea Star. I bottle‑fed Sea Star as a child, trained him to ride, and taught him to pull a cart throughout high school. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I dog‑sat for our neighbors for two summers, managing their eight rescue dogs with no issues. I also volunteered to feed and care for a friend’s 13 horses once a week, morning and night, throughout an entire winter. Over the years, I’ve taken responsibility for all of our family pets as well. I’m comfortable with animals of every temperament, size, and background, and many people say I have a natural ability to get animals to warm up to me quickly. I treat every animal as a valuable, sentient creature deserving of respect, patience, and kindness. My priority is always to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have full availability on Friday and Saturdays. Sundays I am usually busy from 8am-3pm. As for Tuesdays-Thursdays I am available throughout the morning up to 12pm and then my availability reopens at 6:30pm-7pm. I'm specifically looking for housesitting/pet-sitting jobs! I believe that they way a person treats animals reveals their true character so I go out of my way to show honor, patience and tender love to all animals, no matter there species or personalities. I will prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every animal. I will also follow all rules and routines to ensure that every animal under my care is comfortable and not thrown off. In a client’s home, I will maintain their established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any training or behavioral expectations the owner has in place. I make sure water is always fresh, the space stays clean, and the pet receives plenty of attention and any reassurance they need. I’m attentive to body language and comfort levels, and I adjust my interactions to match each animal’s personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double‑check doors, gates, and enclosures, monitor for any signs of stress or illness, and ensure that walks, playtime, and outdoor time are supervised and appropriate for the pet’s age, energy level, and temperament. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for, and for every owner to know their animal is in trustworthy, capable hands.
About: I grew up with a Newfoundland which made me very comfortable and loving of large breed dogs! I also spend a lot of time with an adorable dachshund! I believe being around this range of sizes has made me aware of their needs and specific care and how they differ. I’m an animal lover and will take care of your dog as if it’s my own! I work from home three days a week with a flexible schedule that allows for walks or potty breaks and some much needed play time! I live in a first floor apartment with grass all around! The space is cleaned frequently and easy for a dog to roam around. It’s right across the street from big area with grass to run around in and a very walkable spot or Arlington! There are no other animals in the home.
“Jocelyn took great care of Rosa during her walks. Very responsive, on time, and sent lots of pics. Will definitely be reaching out to her again, and highly recommend her.”

Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adjust to their individual needs and energy level. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet has a fun, stress-free experience. As an active-duty U.S. Army Soldier, I take commitment and reliability seriously. My work schedule follows consistent weekly shifts averaging 6-8 hours, so I know my availability well in advance. I’ll be away during my scheduled work hours on weekdays, but I provide attentive care before and after work with walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. Weekends allow for even more one-on-one time with your pet, and I’ll always communicate my schedule clearly to ensure we’re a great fit. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust with every pet I care for. I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Oh goodness, April is such a sweetheart. She's a very thorough and caring sitter. Ensured I was well informed and my fur babies were well looked after. 10/10 care and accountability from her. Her logs are my favorite part!”
About: I’m an animal lover that will take care of your pet like my own. Although I will care for your pet, I live with my partner, three year old son, my dog Ares, and two cats. We’re a family that loves all animal and are opening our home to extend that care. All pets I’ve cared for tend to leave my home with new skills or new training while they’re with me as that’s very important to me. I am a fully time stay at home parent and have a very flexible schedule to care for your pet. My open availability can accommodate last minute requests. I live in an apartment with an indoor dog park, outdoor dog park onsite, and a large apartment with plenty of space. My pets are very friendly and take into visitors very well. Our son is also very good with animal of all sizes and respectful of boundaries.
“Great sitter for the dogs! They had a blast and she was very good at communicating how they were doing. Would definitely ask her to watch the dogs again next time we leave town!”
“Cooper had a great stay with Melanie’s family! He had a great time and she sent us many adorable photos! Would recommend to anyone and will be booking again for our future travels!”
“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!”
“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”
“Brian was fantastic with our two dogs. He sent great photos of them going on multiple daily walks, running around the large fenced in back yard, and being exhausted on their beds after all of the activities. Will definitely book with him again- thank you for taking such good care of our pups for over a week!”
