“Nalleli and her family took wonderful care of our 15 yr old dog, Kiki. She was loved, had lots of cuddles and snacks and was very happy at Nalleli. I appreciate the care that Nalleli provided and look forward to booking her again to look after our pup when we’re away.”
“Jill and Sean were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gideon. They graciously agreed to a day trial run, which meant so much to us as we navigate some changes in his life. Since the passing of our older dog, Dino, Gideon has struggled with being separated from us and can become quite anxious at drop-off. Jill and Sean were incredibly patient, flexible, and comforting when Gideon became upset. They took the time to help him settle in and made him feel safe and cared for. Throughout his 7-hour stay, they sent thoughtful updates and photos that reassured us he was adjusting well and receiving lots of attention. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Gideon’s well-being and understood that every dog has unique needs. Their kindness and compassion gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitters. Thank you, Jill and Sean, for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️”
“Leslie took great care with our boys, Bodhi and Bear. This was the first time we left them with a pet sitter. It was reassuring to get regular updates and photos for our boys from Leslie. She did a wonderful job caring for them, giving them plenty of love and activity. They seemed to settle right in and had a great stay. I highly recommend Leslie and will use her again!”
“Andrew and his family took such great care of Ollie while we were away. They truly made him feel like part of their family and spoiled him with treats he loved. Andrew kept us updated all weekend with photos, and it was clear that Ollie was having a wonderful time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands.”
“Fen received the best care while staying with Jennifer, her family, and their pupper Henry. Jennifer provided photos and updates throughout the weekend and always responded within minutes to my messages. Would love to have her care for our Fen again anytime!”
“Kendall is an excellent sitter and took amazing care of our pup. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and has a good time! I would not hesitate to book again and I hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)
“Sujan, was very caring of my 4-year-old Schnauzer. He is very comfortable around dogs and takes care to treat them as if they were member of his family. You can see by the way he cares of his own dog that he loves dogs. He kept me posted every day of my dog's activities and wellbeing. This was my first time boarding my dog and I am very happy that he took care of my dog.”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Joanna was so loving with my dog and greeted her with so much affection. I felt completely at ease while I was out for the day, knowing that she was being cared for by Joanna. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kiran was polite, efficient, and a good communicator. He also was timely and considerate of my time. He sent photos throughout the stay and responds in a timely fashion. He followed our routines for our German Shepherd and overall very cordial. He was adept at handling a large strong dog and had a positive style of interacting with him. We would not hesitate to request his services again.”
“Catalina is an amazing caregiver. This was my second time leaving my baby, and she took exceptional care of him. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of my little guy, so I could always know what was happening. Her attention to detail and the way she made me feel secure in his care were truly commendable. Thank you so much!”
“Sophia was fantastic. She has a nice big yard for the dogs to play and explore. She is great about sending pictures every day to let us know how Cooper was doing. Very easy to schedule. Would definitely use her again.”
“Alana is reliable and very flexible with timing, which made scheduling so much easier for us. Our dog was well taken care of, and we really appreciated her responsiveness and attention to detail.”
About: I am on a short career break while waiting for a clearance to come through to start my new job. Looking to fill my days with some furry friends while I wait! I have always been a dog lover and have lots of experience with doodles specifically but love all dogs. I have one pup (Lulu, 2 yr old 35lb mini Bernedoodle) that loves everyone and everything. Currently between jobs and at home most of the day! I am up and at it early during the week either on runs or at the gym. I have a small fenced in yard and live a few steps from 3 of the Reston trail entrances! I am very active and love to go on walks with my dog.
“We had a great experience with Youyou! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and comfortable, and we truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents🩵”

“Michiru did a wonderful job taking care of my boys!! Very responsive to questions, punctual with meeting times and pet care. My cats LOVED her, when she came by to drop off my key, they were all over her. 100% will try to rebook when I need pet care next!”
About: I’ve been Mom to Thumbelina since I was in 5th grade and more recently, my adorable Bean!

“Leah took great care of my cat during a couple of weekend drop-in visits, including meeting him where he’s at when it comes to warming up to new people. She was also very responsive and kept me updated so that I wasn’t worried while I was out of town.”
“Kelly has been walking our dog, Hemi, for over a year now and is always absolutely wonderful. I’d not trust anyone more with our baby! She’s very flexible with dates/times/last minute add ons or cancelations. She’s very attentive with our dog and spends a lot of time throwing the ball, walking and giving treats to her. Further, today my dog had pooped in our house in multiple places, then had diarrhea- this is extremely unlike her. Kelly cleaned up the mess and brought the issue to our attention so we could head home to check on her. Your dogs in amazing hands with Kelly!!”
“Nicole is amazing and did so well with our kitties. We have some personalities in our cats and she was so accommodating to each of our cat’s needs. Thank you so much, Nicole! Book her now!”
“Shauna was great with our 2 cats. She was willing to show up twice a day to give Max his medication which is hard to find. They were well taken care of and healthy and happy when we got back.”
“Brianna was very attentive to the needs of my pet, and I am quite pleased that I have chosen her. I will be definitely using her service in the future, and highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.
About: I’ve always had dogs, birds, and lizards surrounding me ever since I was young! I love animals more than anything, and dogs are my absolute favorite, although I am a lover of all furry friends. As a 30 year old and throughout my 20s I have had a mastiff mix, and now still with my husky/German Shepard mix, Cocoa. She is 9 years old and has been with me every year of her life! I love to take care of her, and will do the same for your pets! I have pet sat for many of my friend’s cats and adore their funny personalities as well! I am currently a student, and my classes are in the evening for a short time, so I have some free time to be able to pet sit and walk your pets! My classes end in the evenings early on so if someone needs their pet checked on and walked/ water and fed I am able to come later on in the evening! I have an apartment with lots of walking space, but can drive to anyone to dog sit or walk, and keep your pet comfy and happy with lots of walks, play time, and making sure whatever their routine is, kept accordingly! I also am familiar with crate trained doggies, which I have had my dog do in the past when she was younger. I am here for whatever your animal friend needs!

“Kiran and his dogs Mysti and Maya were great company for my 65 lb lab-pitt mix Dudley. Dudley would run to the door every morning waiting to go see them and return home in the evening satisfied and tired. Kiran is super friendly and considerate. I hurt my leg one evening, on my way home from work, and Kiran was kind enough to squeeze in one extra walk right before I retrieved Dudley to get him to poop so I wouldn’t have to with my bum leg. This is after he kept Dudley for a very long day. I highly recommend his services and am saving him to my « favorites » list. :) Thank you, Kiran!”

“Our Australian Shepard had a wonderful time with Yulia and Tomas for doggie day care! We could not have been more happy with their kindness, communication, care, and activity level for our dog.

“Wow, what a lovely person! Jennifer truly cares about doing a great job caring for animals- specifically my dog and two cats!!! I’m so grateful for her incredible communication and dedication to her job!!!”
“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”

“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”

About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)
“Sujan, was very caring of my 4-year-old Schnauzer. He is very comfortable around dogs and takes care to treat them as if they were member of his family. You can see by the way he cares of his own dog that he loves dogs. He kept me posted every day of my dog's activities and wellbeing. This was my first time boarding my dog and I am very happy that he took care of my dog.”
“Kiran was polite, efficient, and a good communicator. He also was timely and considerate of my time. He sent photos throughout the stay and responds in a timely fashion. He followed our routines for our German Shepherd and overall very cordial. He was adept at handling a large strong dog and had a positive style of interacting with him. We would not hesitate to request his services again.”
“Alana is reliable and very flexible with timing, which made scheduling so much easier for us. Our dog was well taken care of, and we really appreciated her responsiveness and attention to detail.”
About: I am on a short career break while waiting for a clearance to come through to start my new job. Looking to fill my days with some furry friends while I wait! I have always been a dog lover and have lots of experience with doodles specifically but love all dogs. I have one pup (Lulu, 2 yr old 35lb mini Bernedoodle) that loves everyone and everything. Currently between jobs and at home most of the day! I am up and at it early during the week either on runs or at the gym. I have a small fenced in yard and live a few steps from 3 of the Reston trail entrances! I am very active and love to go on walks with my dog.
“Carla and family is amazing. I boarded biscuit in the last minute and they treated biscuit as their own dog. Biscuit had an amazing time there and Carla sent me a lot of pictures and updates on biscuit. I will highly recommend Carla !!”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
“Jason & Becky were wonderful with Juneau. They were very responsive, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout her stay. It’s clear they are experienced dog owners who treated her with kindness and great care. I received frequent updates with photos and videos, along with helpful information about her behavior and daily routine, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you both so much—Juneau is definitely looking forward to coming back!”
“Carl was a fantastic sitter and took great care of our dog. We have never come home to her so happy after a vacation. We would absolutely recommend Carl, and plan to use him again in the future.”
“Kaylyn and Naman are great pet sitters! I highly recommend them. They took great care of our dog Alli, she was very happy and relaxed with them! They were attentive to her every need and always made sure she had walks and outside time. Alli had an eye problem and they took really excellent care of her. I would definitely trust your pets with them, they’re great!”
“I love using Candice to take care of Ahsoka. She is reliable and flexible and consistently sends me pics, and she was this time as usual. I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“This is our second time leaving our furbaby, Peach, with Poornima and she did a wonderful job looking after her! Poornima sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. Her dog, Arjun (also lovingly known as Joe!!), is very sweet and the best pup friend Peach could ask for. We highly recommend Poornima as she is an amazing and attentive sitter!!!”
“Jean was awesome as a dogsitter. He took good care of my Golden. He sent pictures and videos, and walked her daily. Most of all he was friendly and wide open to any request that I had on how to take care of her. I will definitely be bringing my dog back in the future. I feel like we finally have a go-to for a sitter.”
“This is our second time with Yulia. I would say she is the absolute best sitter we have had for Sadie. Sadie loves playing with Chuck and Yulia’s children. During her stay Sadie was well cared for. She went on multiple long walks. Yulia sent several updates with several pics of Sadie and the family daily. I recommend Yulia very highly for your pet. We will be going back again.”
About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”
“My first time using Rover and Joyce was very helpful throughout the whole booking process. She is also very quick to respond to messages and communicate with. Joyce did a great job watching Riley while we were out of town for a few days. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures she sent. Riley looked very happy and comfortable in all the pictures. I highly recommend Joyce!”
