“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy and the amazing care she provided for my dog! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. My dog felt comfortable and happy in her care, and she went above and beyond to ensure every need was met. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality truly set her apart. I am so grateful for her exceptional service and will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. Thank you, Nancy, for being so amazing!”
“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with a sitter and couldn't have left him in better hands. Shadow had a blast with Jenn and pretty much had a doggy vacation. He went on multiple walks throughout the day and enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. Jenn was sure to send us videos and pictures of shadow throughout the entire stay and communicated the entire time. I look forward to booking with her for future occasions and would highly recommend her services.”
“Dayana and her family are wonderful sitter’s! They treat Bella like family and have given her the nickname “Queen Bella”’. Communication is great - I receive morning and evening updates with pictures and videos. I recommend Dayana/Sonia 100% and will be using them as my dog sitters going forward.”
“Rebeca took my pup for a week. I was very nervous at first because I’ve never left him for so long. She sent some pictures and a video that made me feel better throughout the week. When I picked him up, he was so tired. Thank you Rebecca and Roman!”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“This was our first time using Rover, and it was also a last minute booking, but we were so lucky to find Kimberly and Michael. They are very friendly, trustworthy and professional from the start, which immediately made us feel comfortable. They took such great care of our dog Yomi and gave her so much attention. They sent us daily photos and updates while we were away. It was really reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Yomi was. We would definitely book with them again. Highly recommended!”
“Sabine is awesome! She took really good care of my pup and kept me updated on how he was doing. She was friendly, flexible with drop off and pick up times, sent lots of pictures, and treated Rambo like her own. I would definitely recommend Sabine!”
“Laurie was great with Oakley. She provided plenty of outside time and sent frequent updates with photos and videos. I could tell Oakley enjoyed her time with Laurie and her dogs.”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“She took care of my gizmo really well. Gizmo can be a hot mess sometimes and she took care of her really good. Jessica did well with keeping up with gizmos medication. We definitely be taking our other pets and gizmo back to her.”
“Teecey made me very comfortable leaving my little one with her overnight. She was very accommodating when I forgot to bring all of my dog's food and Teecey's dog was a great playmate for my energetic Frenchie. I'd choose Teecey again.”
“Very attentive with photos and updates! I was hesitant as this was my first time using Rover, but Kalyn put all my worries to bed, and even let me bring Ayla for an informal meet and greet with her dogs prior to Ayla's care there. Kayla was a dream to correspond with, and a wonderful caregiver! 10+++ 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.”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received. They took such wonderful care of him and kept me updated with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to the pets they care for. I was absolutely delighted with the experience and would trust them again without hesitation. Thank you for treating my furry baby like family!”
“It’s the second time Chili and Pepper stay with Chelsea-Jo and Austin, this time for two weeks. They are great! Took care of them, treated them as part of the family, sent texts and pictures everyday (great pictures by the way) and Chili and Pepper were happy and comfortable with them.”
“Tracey was fantastic to our little dog. She noticed a medical issue and contacted us about it immediately. She then helped us find a vet since we are not from the area. She sent multiple pictures and updates.”
“Audree is the best! She took such awesome care of my big baby, Charlie! I loved getting updates and pics. Anyone looking for top notch care for their fur baby- Audree is the one! Only downside I had is that Charlie didn’t want to leave! She is so patient and knowledgeable. I cannot sing her praises enough.”

“Stefanie took great care to see that my cats' needs were met while I was away. The photos in the report card helped me feel at ease as well. Stefanie is a fabulous fur-baby sitter!”
“Dominique did a fantastic job. She kept the litter boxes clean, cleaned up when one of the cats vomited on the rug, kept them fed, and spent time with them each day. She also ensured there food dishes were clean and rinsed out and refilled their water dishes regularly. I came home to happy and healthy cats. I highly recommend Dominique.”
“She took such great care of my 3 cats ! i’ve used this app multiple times and she was by far one of the best !! She went over and beyond for my cats & me. Provided me with great details daily and made sure my cats were in good care. I highly recommend!! Thank You !!⭐️”

“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”
“You can tell that Denisa loves animals in the way she cares for them and the attentiveness she shows. My cat had a great time with Denisa and when I came home I could tell that my cat was very happy. Denisa went above and beyond to make sure my cat was taken care of while I was gone.”
“Super amazing person!! She watched over my four cats for 10 days while I was gone on vacation. I was literally head over heels for her service; she would leave detailed and thorough messages with photos after every visit. She would also include notes about what she had done or didn’t do with an explanation. Couldn’t thank her enough for the peace of mind while we were away.”
“Great communication, We asked Ty to drop in on our very skittish cats for a week and they went above and beyond watering our snake as well! By the end of the week one of them was eating out of their hand.”
“Gabriela saved us in a pinch, she was always on time rocko looked happy when we returned, he would look stressed normally after being boarded. Definitely will call her again.”
“Paige was a very thoughtful sitter my energetic kittens enjoyed her company so much! They are very desperate for interaction when I’m gone and I am really lucky to have found Paige who is willing to go out of her way to tailor her care to the needs of a cat!”
“Cathy took wonderful care of my cat, Sky, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Sky made a great connection with her and was incredibly affectionate, which says so much about the care and warmth she provides. She truly went above and beyond, giving Sky extra love and attention and making sure he felt comfortable and happy at all times. Cathy was kind, helpful, supportive, and very proactive, always keeping me updated and anticipating anything Sky might need. She was also extremely responsive and easy to reach, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely trust Cathy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. If Sky could type, he’d probably give her 5 paws and a head boop 🐾😄”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!”

“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”

I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”

“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away.

I look forward to future bookings.”

About: I’ve taken care of smaller dog breeds since I was 10 since I was a pet owner myself. My childhood pup of 17 years recently passed. I took care of medium-to-large breeds during the pandemic and during grad school. I’m familiar with anxious dogs and older dogs, and like to give animals their space to feel comfortable around me. I’m also experienced in cat sitting (~ 5 years) and have taken care of multi-pet households before. My day-time schedule is flexible and my weekends are pretty much open, especially in the mornings. I like being outside, so I am often at a park or on a hike on weekends! I currently live at home with family, no children and no other pets. We have a large backyard. In a client’s home, I like to be familiar with all entrances and exits and am extra careful to pay attention to feeding and medicine schedules. I take care of my client’s home like I take care of their pet. I am respectful, caring, and responsible. I want the pet to feel as less stress as possible.
“Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!”
“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication.

I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule! I am a full time student at GMU but my classes are spread out so I have a lot of time to work with. I’m very willing to work something out to ensure your fur babies get good care. I will respect your home and house rules when dropping in or taking the pets for walks. I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
