“Leslie was awesome! She had Trapper for day care and kept him busy playing ball which he LOVES, and took him for a walk. He really enjoyed running around her backyard which is perfect for the dogs to run and play! She sent a lot of pictures and videos to let us know what our boy was up to. We are already planning our next booking!”
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!
“Kristen was so great with our pups and made all requester accommodations. Her property really is a doggy paradise! We could tell how much fun our pups had when we came to pick them up. They were tired (in a good way) from playing and socializing. Kristen also has tons of dog gear, so no need to bring your own (unless they need their favorite toy, etc ?). We left our pups there for 2 weeks and they were clearly in great hands. We will be sure to use Kristen again!”
“Repeat customer because very pleased with the last stay. This time it was a last minute request. Maria was available and flexible with my schedule. Will continue to use her!”
“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!”
“Walter and his family continue to take amazing care of our puppy. When leaving today, she whimpered - that’s a sign of a happy girl! We are so happy to have found this loving family. Thank you again for all that you do to make Harper feel right at home. We look forward to working with you again soon!”
“Jamie, Mike and the whole family were amazing. It was very easy to book with Jamie and Mike. They were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry and answer any questions I had. They also asked questions and provided details about siting with them, that helped put my mind at ease, since I always worry about being separated from my pup. They were also very good communicating. Making sure we found a drop off and pick up time that works for us both, to sending multiple updates and photos on how my pup was doing while there. I am so grateful they opened their beautiful home, and shared their lovely family with Benjie. If available in the future, I would certainly use them to sit again, and would highly recommend them.”
“Nova had another great stay with Dana! I loved that she continued to send lots of pictures and videos. She always ensures that Nova is comfortable and shows her so much love. Nova can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Chaoran was great, she is very friendly and detailed oriented. I had no doubts my dog was in good hands. She provided plenty of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Kalley was amazing!! I needed a new sitter as my previous sitter stopped doing in-home boarding, and Kalley was phenomenal. She was very attentive and kept me updated daily on how Marley was doing via text and pictures. I knew he was extremely comfortable in her home which really put me at ease. Thank you Kalley to you and your family for taking such good care of Marley!”
“This was the first time we left our puppy with a boarder, and Stacie helped us feel so comfortable. She was very communicative, sent daily photos and videos, which really helps the kids deal with missing their dog. Her house is a perfect space for taking care of dogs. Her yard was awesome and our dog (Joy) seemed to be having a great time. Will definitely go with Stacie again the next time we need someone willing to take care of Joy for us.”
“Tara was wonderful! She was very easy to communicate with and you can tell my pup had a great time. I felt very much at ease leaving him with her and her family. All I can say is book with her, you won’t regret it!”
“Yzabella is one of the best dog sitters we have ever hired. She is very dedicated to the pets and shows them love. We can tell because our dog return back home after nearly 2 weeks very happy.

She is very caring and we will definitely be back to her and hire her for dog sitting again when we need to go on another trip where we can not take our dog with us. Great job, really thankful for everything she did. 5/5 definitely! Thank you really so much from bottom of our hearts, Yzabella! See you again soon!”
“Richard took phenomenal care of my dog, Bruno, and I could not recommend him more highly. He truly went above and beyond during Bruno’s stay. Bruno has a daily skin care routine and requires medications, and Richard handled everything perfectly. By the time we picked Bruno up, his skin honestly looked better than when we dropped him off. Richard is clearly experienced and confident administering all types of medications, including injections, which gave me a huge sense of relief and comfort. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with a dog that has medical needs, but I felt completely comfortable leaving Bruno in his care. We had daily updates which put our minds at ease You can tell Richard genuinely loves dogs. Bruno got constant attention, enjoyed his backyard, and clearly loved spending time with Richard and his family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bruno was being cared for like part of the family. We will absolutely book with Richard again. Richard is officially our new Rover when we go on vacation.”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Once again, Cindy was the best! My dog was happy to see Cindy. She treats my dog like one of the family. She makes sure she’s fed, walked, and sends me pictures and a note. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Cindy is the best!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kate! She did a fantastic job with our puppy and treated him with so much care and attention.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. My approach is patient, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy or providing gentle, consistent care for senior pets. What sets me apart is my focus on both routine care and emotional comfort. I’m comfortable with puppy basics like crate training, leash manners, and reinforcing good behavior through positive reinforcement. For senior pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs, ensuring they stay comfortable and stress-free. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I also prioritize communication with pet parents, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“This is the second time we have had the pleasure of having Lauren sit for our cats, KC and Phoenix. Lauren visited our house once a day while we were on vacation and each time sent us adorable pictures of the kitties. Lauren also took care of the less glamorous part of sitting cats and we (and the cats) greatly appreciate her. Lauren is a joy to work with and I highly recommend her for cat or dog sitting!”
“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
“Caitlin was absolutely awesome! My babies don't take well to strangers and usually leave me all sorts of surprises when I get home. Caitlin was so kind to them, she played with them and even got my super shy girl to come out. She took care of everything! Even all the vomits 🤢 sorry about that. I will definitely be rebooking her for my future travels. I highly highly recommend her for your fur babies.”
“Ariahna did such a fantastic job with my kitties, as usual! She takes extra time to give them lots of love and attention, and is patient with the shy ones. It’s always a relief to know they’re so well cared for. Thank you!”
“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!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. We have always had a pet for as long as I can remember. I love animals. I have taken care of puppies to senior animals. I have plenty of free time, so I would be able to keep your fur baby company anytime needed and give them lots of not only play time but affection. I have a fenced in yard and three fur babies to keep yours company! I can easily crate your pet if need be. Fun and loving environment.
“Amy did an amazing job- being patient with our two cats and addressing their individual personalities and care needs while we were away. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing she was checking in on them. We highly recommend her services!”

“Stephanie and her family are phonenominal! My dog had her first visit yesterday and was happy and tired from playing with their awesome dog, who is now her new best friend. I can't say enough about how Stephanie and her family went far above and beyond the call of duty yesterday, for us! I can't give this dog loving family enough accolades!”
“Our pups had a wonderful time with Leslie. I knew they would when we did a meet-n-greet. She is a loving dog person and they knew it right away. Her home is beautiful and accommodates dogs - lots of toys, blanket to snuggle in or rest next to Leslie on sofa. Backyard is big and fenced in - a doggies dream backyard. Leslie sent fun pictures and kept us up-to-date on their potty breaks. She walked the pups on a walking trails near her home which my dogs loved. Hopefully next time they will get to see the Canadian geese which visit the local pond regularly. We are so excited that Leslie has started Rover sitting — she is a gem and we are already signing up for another daycare sitting. 🙏🐾❤️”

“It was our first experience using Rover and Jeanetta and her family made it a smooth deal for our boy Skittle. They did so great that we booked with them again. They kept us posted all the time and shared pics and videos with us. They were pretty flexible and accommodated Skittle's needs and spoiled him too ❤️??. We highly recommend Jeanetta and her loving family.”

Dogs are given free access to fully fenced outdoor yard and free access to inside, including being on furniture.

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.
About: I've been a dog owner for 19 years, including multiple breeds and puppies. I have an extremely flexible schedule to ensure your pup gets the care and attention they need, all on 1 acre for them to enjoy. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time. I live on one acre with plenty of space to run, roam, and sniff. I can tailor care in my home to your pup's needs, whether it's crate or baby gates to keep them safe. If I'm sitting in your home, I'll always follow your guidance and instructions.
“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!”
“Peyton and Chloe were very kind and accommodating! We had a wedding where our dog was our ringbearer but we could not have him at the venue during the reception. They were kind enough to come pick him up during cocktail hour! It was our first time on rover but they made our day and everything so easy!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”

About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I have open availability for pet care, especially when approached with a job further in advance. That being said, I do keep pretty regular hours and have plenty of time so I love my last minute clients too! I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.
About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes!

Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!

About: (Brand new to Rover) I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, and dogs have always felt like big, goofy, furry toddlers — full of personality, joy, and chaos in the best way. I currently live in an anti‑pet apartment (tragic, I know), so I’m looking to fill that dog‑shaped hole in my heart by being the next best thing: your pup’s reliable walking and hiking buddy. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves long walks, trails, and exploring. Whether your dog is a tiny ball of energy or a large, gentle giant, I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, seniors, and puppies. I’m patient, confident, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks. What I offer: Long walks or trail hikes for high‑energy pups Picture updates so you can see their adventures Flexible scheduling — I’m a teacher on summer break, so I’m wide open With a friendly, upbeat personality, your dog will warm up quickly If your dog needs exercise, company, or just someone who treats them like the lovable toddler they are, I’d love to help. Let’s get your pup out exploring and having fun. As a teacher on summer break, pet care fits naturally and easily into my weekly routine. I’m active every day, walking, hiking, or spending time outdoors, so adding a dog to that rhythm feels like the most joyful part of my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility, which means I can plan walks around your dog’s needs rather than squeezing them into a tight window. (ADDITION: Until May 30th, I can only walk dogs on weekends because of my teaching and coaching schedule) Since I live in an anti‑pet apartment, all of my care happens in your home or out on the trail. I treat every dog like the big furry toddler they are, with patience, structure, and a lot of enthusiasm. Here’s what my care typically looks like: Consistent routines: I follow your feeding, walking, and potty schedule exactly as you prefer. Active outings: long walks or trail hikes for dogs who need to burn energy, or gentle strolls for seniors. Safety first: secure leashing, checking gear, watching for heat, and keeping a close eye on body language. Clean and respectful home care: wiping paws, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Photo updates: I send regular pictures so you can see your pup’s adventures and feel connected while you’re away. Calm companionship: whether your dog is tiny and energetic or large and mellow, I match their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m free all summer, I can offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extra attention, especially for dogs who thrive on activity and routine.
About: I cared for my dog Bear for 15 years until he passed last year. I have experience caring for senior dogs, giving medication, lifting and assisting walking. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have 10 acres for the dogs to walk and play. Caring for dogs fits easily into my daily routine. We love being at home and to have a dog enjoy the outdoor space makes it even better! I treat pets I’m taking care of like they are my own. I keep a close on them and monitor them to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I want them to feel at home.
About: Hello, my name is Sierra! As a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between animals and their families.

I offer a safe and fun outdoor space, as well as cozy indoor comforts. I'm flexible and adaptable, ensuring that your pet's needs are always met.

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!
“Kristen was so great with our pups and made all requester accommodations. Her property really is a doggy paradise! We could tell how much fun our pups had when we came to pick them up. They were tired (in a good way) from playing and socializing. Kristen also has tons of dog gear, so no need to bring your own (unless they need their favorite toy, etc ?). We left our pups there for 2 weeks and they were clearly in great hands. We will be sure to use Kristen again!”
“Repeat customer because very pleased with the last stay. This time it was a last minute request. Maria was available and flexible with my schedule. Will continue to use her!”
“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!”
“Jamie, Mike and the whole family were amazing. It was very easy to book with Jamie and Mike. They were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry and answer any questions I had. They also asked questions and provided details about siting with them, that helped put my mind at ease, since I always worry about being separated from my pup. They were also very good communicating. Making sure we found a drop off and pick up time that works for us both, to sending multiple updates and photos on how my pup was doing while there. I am so grateful they opened their beautiful home, and shared their lovely family with Benjie. If available in the future, I would certainly use them to sit again, and would highly recommend them.”
“Nova had another great stay with Dana! I loved that she continued to send lots of pictures and videos. She always ensures that Nova is comfortable and shows her so much love. Nova can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Chaoran was great, she is very friendly and detailed oriented. I had no doubts my dog was in good hands. She provided plenty of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“This was the first time we left our puppy with a boarder, and Stacie helped us feel so comfortable. She was very communicative, sent daily photos and videos, which really helps the kids deal with missing their dog. Her house is a perfect space for taking care of dogs. Her yard was awesome and our dog (Joy) seemed to be having a great time. Will definitely go with Stacie again the next time we need someone willing to take care of Joy for us.”
“Tara was wonderful! She was very easy to communicate with and you can tell my pup had a great time. I felt very much at ease leaving him with her and her family. All I can say is book with her, you won’t regret it!”
“This is our second time using Erin. We rearranged our schedule a bit to accommodate her because I was more comfortable using her again than other sitters. I am nervous about leaving my little Lucy with someone because she is pretty used to being home with someone all day. With Erin, she or another family member is home with the dog most if not all the time. She also sends lots of pics and updates which is such a comfort when you are stressed about leaving your dog. My pup seemed vey content and got lots of attention! Would not hesitate to book Erin again!”
“Lauren provided excellent care for Bryce. She regularly sent photos and videos of him throughout his stay with her. Her yard is large and fenced in so plenty of space for your pup to zoom around. High recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Oliver seemed to have a good time with Pam and her family and their canine holiday guests. We were glad to receive photos of Oliver enjoying the Christmas tree and cuddling on the couch, along with periodic updates on his activities. Pam responded promptly to our initial query and to subsequent texts, and she even followed-up after we brought Oliver home. She seems to love dogs!”
“Colleen and her family were perfect for our pup! Daily photos and check-ins put us at ease and assured us we had nothing to worry about. Colleen was attentive to our puppy’s needs and her home and yard were immaculate. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”
“Absolutely amazing. Very timely response. Beautiful home with ample space for puppy play. Ember was so happy to meet Darnell and his family. There were multiple pictures sent daily with updates. Excellent communication throughout her stay. When she got home I think she missed her new puppy friends. Thankful for this family. Will definitely book again ?”
“Danielle was amazing! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures/videos. Kai’lo had a blast with all his new friends and was even very sad when he got picked up. Thank you for taking such great care of him! Will definitely continue booking with her.”
“First time visiting Northern VA, and we wanted to do some exploring in Washington DC for Memorial Day weekend. Nervous about having to leave our dogs in the hotel while we went out… we decided to give Rover a try and find a sitter! So glad we did! Upon meeting Katherine, I knew right away our two furbabies would be in the best of hands! We never once had a single worry while away! Perfect environment for our beagle and lab to explore and they enjoyed their other playmates too, because they are both wore out from their fun-filled weekend! If we are ever in this area again, we know who to call!! Thanks again!”
“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!”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
