“Dolly enjoys being with Courtney. Courtney is loving, competent and comforting, especially in a thunder storm. Courtney keeps us informed with daily pictures and notes and we are so sure that Dolly is enjoying her vacation away from us. Courtney is our trusted River. Thank you, Courtney”
“My two furbabies enjoyed their stay with Andrea. They came home happy & seemed to have been well taken care of. Andrea sent me pictures throughout their stay which was a nice reassurance that they were happy. I definitely recommend her services.”
“This was the best first experience using Rover! Meagan and her family was great! They cared very well for Rocko and made him feel at home. I'll definitely book Meagan again on my next adventure!”
“I'm so grateful that my first time using Rover led me to Dana, who took care of my pups, Boogie and Lilli, while I was away. She did an amazing job looking after them, and they absolutely adore her. Dana made sure they were happy and well looked after. It was clear that she really loves dogs, and my pups felt comfortable and happy around her. I'm so relieved to know that they were in good hands during my first experience with Rover. I highly recommend Dana if you need someone to look after your pups. She's fantastic, and my pups think she's the best! Thank you, Dana, for taking such good care of Boogie and Lilli. 🐾💜”
“This is the first time I have used Rover and I'm thankful this app is out there. Jocelyn B. was wonderful. I have one dog that is easy and the other can be a handful. I was thankful that I could leave for the weekend and not worry.”
“Another wonderful stay with Scott and Sarah! They are terrific dog sitters - so kind and friendly and our two energetic dogs love to run around the woods with them!”
“So helpful, my booking was last minute and i greatly appreciate Whitney being able to watch my pups for me. My dogs were so warm out from playing so much at her house. Will definitely keep her at the top of my list!”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“This was the second time I have trusted Amber to board my dog for several days. She is a great sitter, Amber sends pictures and notes every day. I would choose her again.”
“Beth is one of the best. Been using River for years and always seek Beth for day or overnight stays. She communicates clearly and promptly every time. My pup is always excited to get there and reluctant to leave.”
“I Highly recommend Joey! I boarded Piper for three days. After meeting Joey and seeing his multiple fenced yards and runs i was able to enjoy an important weekend without worry.. thanks again and look forward to having Piper there again. Stephen W.”
“This isn’t my first review for Stacie (and Ziggy), but I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate Stacie, her family and their dog Ziggy for taking care of my Nala! Her ears perk up whenever she realizes that we are packing to go somewhere and mention Ziggy’s name, and goes crazy (and goes onto tapping on our entrance door knob!!). Stacie always sends us pictures and Nala always looks happy (too happy sometimes to make me think she doesn’t want to come back home). Also, Stacie is ALWAYS honest about her schedule, the dogs that are already staying there (for the sake of compatibilities of the dogs), so she’s not just taking any dogs or however many dogs to make money. She genuinely cares and wants to provide the best service. Thank you, Stacie!”

“Barry and Cheryl were absolutely wonderful pet sitters for our French bulldog, Blu! They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly cared for our dog like he was their own. They kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and well loved. They spoiled him with treats, walks, cuddles, and so much attention — he was truly living his best life! It’s obvious they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Barry and Cheryl to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters.”
“Our experience with Audree watching our dog Cap was excellent! She keeps you updated throughout each day and sends pictures and videos! Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future, thanks again! -Mat and Joana”
“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”
“Lisa is one hour and 15 min from our house, and worth every minute to drive down to her house to drop off our dog. Exceptional daily updates, very experienced with senior dogs, and great care for our special pets. She is our go-to sitter. Thank you!!”
“Jaime and Mike were amazing, they took great care of Bear and treated him like part of the family. They were also amazing at communicating! Would definitely use them again!”

She followed all his routines, kept everything tidy, and was great at communicating. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!! 10/10!”

I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave my babies and would absolutely book her again.”
“Noeli was great with Spock! He just needed to be checked in on and given food but she stayed and gave him some attention and played with him, which might be out of the ordinary for a regular cat. I’d definitely hire her again!”
“Melissa was just what we needed to cover our cat while we went on a trip! She was so sweet, kept us updated, and kept our kitty entertained while we were away! I would definitely recommend Melissa to any others looking for help with their pets!”
“This is our third time having Jessica over. She is very conscientious, responsive, prompt and responsible. She works hard to befriend our kitties even though they are not cooperative, and we appreciate that a lot! We feel very safe giving her access to our pets and our home! She is a blessing and we’re very thankful!”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”

“Tillie enjoyed her day with Erica and her son. She is a young dog and enjoys spending time and playing with other dogs. She is a Cavipoo and loves everything and everybody.

About: I started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
“Nathan was great to work with! Super friendly, professional, and quick to respond. This was our first time using him so we could enjoy a relaxing lake day, and we're so glad we found him. Our pup seemed to have a great time, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again soon!”
“Danielle was great with Chloe. She took her on 3 walks and she enjoyed playing with Danielle's daughter.

Thanks Danielle!”
“Laurie was very good with my dog and very knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt that she provided very good care and that my dog was in good hands. Her fenced in backyard has plenty of shade and is great for breeds that like to be outside and roam. I recommend her for taking care of your dog.”
“Courtney took great care of my little pup =) She sent me an update while I was away with pictures and I think they both had a great time ;-) I will be using Courtney again in the future when I am traveling in her direction.”

About: I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and I love them. We currently have two dogs. I have a male Golden doodle named Bo and a female Teddy Bear named Annie. I like to walk the dogs for two 30 minute walks a day. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I have a 7 year old, 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. I have options to separate dogs if necessary. Dogs are separated at feeding time.
“Jax loves Audree!! He gets so excited when he sees her. He has so much fun with the other dogs, he's ready to go to bed when we get home in the evenings! I appreciate that ?? Audree is very attentive and takes good care of Jax and the other dogs.”

“Stephanie has been an absolute blessing! I was a nervous Nelly when it came to finding someone to help with pet sitting and dog walking for our senior Great Dane, Meena. Our family has gone through a lot of changes, including losing our other Dane, who Meena was incredibly bonded with, and our daughter moving out. meaning one less person around to love on and help care for her, especially when we travel. I interviewed three pet sitters, and Stephanie was the only one Meena immediately got excited about. So, I literally let Meena pick her sitter and she picked Stephanie! It was the BEST choice ever. The peace of mind Stephanie has given me is truly immeasurable. She is caring, dependable, communicative, and clearly loves our girl, and knowing Meena is happy and well cared for while we’re away means everything to me. If you need a pet sitter or dog walker, BOOK HER NOW! You and your pets will be so glad you did!”
“Rhonda was fantastic! I love getting pictures of our boys walking and cuddling while we were gone! She made me feel very comfortable from the very first time meeting the boys! Her communication definetly made us not worry! I would highly recommend her for any services :)”

About: As the daughter of a pet-sitting business owner and veterinary technician, I’ve been caring for animals from an early age. With over 10 years of experience working alongside my mother and in veterinary offices across Northern Virginia, I’ve learned that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care. Before moving back to Northern Virginia in 2023, I also owned a successful pet-sitting business in St. Croix, USVI. My own pets have taught me a lot as well—my pit mix, Bella, survived both a fighting-breed environment and Hurricane Maria, and my two rescue bassets struggled with separation anxiety, as well as our Moluccan cockatoo we raised from a nestling. Those experiences reinforced the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency. I’m a non-smoker, organized, and detail-oriented. I’m also available for last-minute needs and those holiday plans that sometimes run longer than expected. Above all, I take this work seriously and will care for your pet with the same love I give my own. 🐾🖤 Working mainly from home allows me the flexibility to plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. In my home or a client’s, I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, while giving them plenty of love and attention to keep them comfortable. We can work on learning new tricks and reinforcing obedience training.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs on a farm, apartment, townhouse, etc. I have experience with many different personalities, energy levels, and breed needs I currently have two dogs of my own, a great pyrenees and a golden retriever. I’ve also worked at a veterinary clinic as a vet tech, gaining additional experiences with animal care, health needs, and proper handling. I beleive no dog should be judged by their breed or put under a general label. I focus on their body language and individual personalities, while still addressing breed needs. I currently am working 32-40 hours a week that gives me a certain level of flexibility to match your schedule. I receive my schedule every Saturday, two weeks posted at a time. I will give full transparency if there are any schedule conflicts. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, they’re your family! My goal is to always make sure both you and your pet few safe, supported, and at ease while you’re away. I do my best to follow your pet’s routing exactly the way you do at home, adjusting to whatever care instructions you prefer. I am also more than happy to provide updates as often as you’d life, whether that’s daily or hourly check-ins, photos, or videos so you can see how your pet is doing. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, health, and surroundings, making sure they’re safe and comfortable both inside the home and in outdoor spaces. I keep information on local vets and emergency clinics on my phone. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own!
About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was like 5 I learned how to take care of them at a young age.Im pretty good at what I do. I’m currently working part time .I have lots of free time on my hands . Im open to almost any schedule .Just shoot me a text. Caring for pets in my client's home involves a personalized approach tailored to each pet’s specific needs and the services I am providing. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where the pet feels secure and loved. This includes feeding them according to their dietary requirements, ensuring they have fresh water at all times, and providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and play to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow grooming routines and administer medications as instructed, keeping a close eye on their health and behavior. Whether I am offering daily walks, pet sitting, or grooming services, I am committed to providing compassionate, attentive, and reliable care that respects the pet’s routine and comforts, ensuring they feel happy and secure in my care.

“Jessica is very sweet and took the time to let our dog warm up to her. She took great care of our pup and kept us updated on the walk from when she got there until the end. We would definitely use her again for the future!”
About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

About: I've consistently had at least one cat and dog in my household at all times, if not two! I took Small Animal Care 1&2 in high-school. Durring summer breaks I went to horse camp where we learned how to safely handle, ride, and groom horses. I occasionally take care of my neighbors chickens when they go on vacation. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is made on a monthly basis. I'm available most weekends and weekdays after 1pm. Can do early mornings and late potty breaks. The house I live in has a large front yard and a larger backyard. It is unfenced but in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for walking

“Beth is one of the best. Been using River for years and always seek Beth for day or overnight stays. She communicates clearly and promptly every time. My pup is always excited to get there and reluctant to leave.”
“I Highly recommend Joey! I boarded Piper for three days. After meeting Joey and seeing his multiple fenced yards and runs i was able to enjoy an important weekend without worry.. thanks again and look forward to having Piper there again. Stephen W.”
“This isn’t my first review for Stacie (and Ziggy), but I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate Stacie, her family and their dog Ziggy for taking care of my Nala! Her ears perk up whenever she realizes that we are packing to go somewhere and mention Ziggy’s name, and goes crazy (and goes onto tapping on our entrance door knob!!). Stacie always sends us pictures and Nala always looks happy (too happy sometimes to make me think she doesn’t want to come back home). Also, Stacie is ALWAYS honest about her schedule, the dogs that are already staying there (for the sake of compatibilities of the dogs), so she’s not just taking any dogs or however many dogs to make money. She genuinely cares and wants to provide the best service. Thank you, Stacie!”
About: I have 20+ years of pet experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and more. I am available for dog boarding in my home for multiple dogs. I am comfortable giving medications. I can make multiple visits to your home while you are gone. Let me know what your needs are and we can find a suitable accommodation for your pet. They will be loved like our own. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my children. Most of our days are wide open and I can easily accommodate taking care of other pets. I will look after your pets like I do my own. I will make sure they always have the proper food and water and are never left unattended. I can meet a variety of needs for many different pets.
“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”
“Lisa is one hour and 15 min from our house, and worth every minute to drive down to her house to drop off our dog. Exceptional daily updates, very experienced with senior dogs, and great care for our special pets. She is our go-to sitter. Thank you!!”
“Jaime and Mike were amazing, they took great care of Bear and treated him like part of the family. They were also amazing at communicating! Would definitely use them again!”
“Our old pup absolutely loves staying with Julie’s family. She takes wonderful care of him, navigating his picky eating and various joint medications. He comes home so tired - from both the outdoor time and the social interactions, I am sure. I trust Julie completely with his care and will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs as long as she will have us.”
