“Just picked up Del from Andrew & his family - Del had a wonderful stay, and I felt very comfortable leaving him there and clearly both Del and Andrew & family got along so great! I am delighted with this connection and will gladly make more arrangements. Very attentive, friendly, interactive and responsible care, highly recommend! Many thanks Andrew and family!”
“Leslie is THE BEST! We were a little worried because this was the first time we left our dog with someone new, but after doing a meet and greet we knew our dog Roxy would be in great hands. During the stay she sent us plenty of pictures and videos updates and Roxy was smiling on them haha we could tell she was happy and enjoying her time with Leslie. She took her on walks, concert, dog park and gave her plenty of cuddles, which Roxy is a big fan! I would/will recommend Leslie to friends and family and here too! She will be the best person to take care of your furry baby with lots of love and fun! Again, thank you Leslie!!!”
“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.”
“We have used Cesar multiple times and he is so fantastic with our dog. Our dog gets lots of exercise and we get a lot of pictures. We always have peace of mind leaving our dig with Cesar.”
“Karen was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. My chichahua loved staying with her! Karen sent us photos and updates each day. It was a relief to see how much fun my dog was enjoying and how well she was cared for. We will leave my sweet dog with Karen every time we need a sitter.”
“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!”
“Staci was wonderful! Zola had a great time and was completely tired out when I got her home! Staci was also very understanding and flexible when we hit some unexpected traffic and got back a bit later than planned. Would absolutely use Staci again!”
“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 👌”
“Jill and her family made sure to keep our dog on his medication schedule and monitor his healing knee injury. It wasn’t an ideal time to go on vacation but Jill reassured me and explained to me that she had experience giving medication and that her home would be a safe environment. I came back to a happy dog that was moving better than when I had dropped him off.”
“This was our first time leaving Baylor to go on a trip. We were really nervous at first, but Taylor provided multiple daily updates and pictures, and she was honest about how Baylor was doing! Taylor is good at following unique schedules for each dog.”
“Everything about boarding our fur baby with Shiva was 5 star perfection. From our meet and greet to drop off and pick up we knew we were in excellent hands. Our dog was relaxed and happy with Shiva and her other pups. It’s obvious that Shiva knows and loves dogs! Shiva’s house and yard are great for any dog to exercise and explore. Our dog was instantly at ease at her home and it’ was a pleasure to go away knowing our dog was in Shiva’s care. She provides excellent updates and photos at the end of every day so you can go to bed knowing your dog is happy and safe. Shiva was an excellent communicator. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Mario took such great care of Luna!! He kept me updated throughout her stay and sent lots of pictures :) will definitely be booking with him again next time I go out of town!”
“Kendall pampered our pups with attention. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Both our dogs arrived happy and left happier. Daily updates, picture and a send-off gift to boot! Thanks Kendall!”
About: While I grew up in a household where I got a baby brother instead of a dog, I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid! It started with walking my neighbor’s dachshunds and eventually became pet sitting for the entire neighborhood - including puppies of all ages! I’ve done everything from spraying down pee spots while house training to helping senior puppies get around. I have yet to have my own puppy, but most of early 20’s included a furry roommate. My favorite de-stressing activity while studying for my CPA exam? Taking my roommate’s dog to the dog park! I have lots of love to share and I’d love to share that with your furry family member! I do have a full-time corporate job, but it’s work from home with flexibility in the hours I work! So it’s very easy to accommodate pet care! You set the tone! I want your pets to feel as comfortable as possible, whether in my home or yours. Similarly, I want you to feel comfortable while I am hanging out with them. Need them in a crate? You got it. Keep them on the leash in the backyard? No problem. Always keep them in the room with me? My pleasure!
“Carl is very communicative by sending me photos of Mochi with lots of updates! We met ahead of time at the dog park to make sure our dogs got along and he was very accommodating with all the time changes! Will definitely book him again to look after Mochi!”
“Leanna was fantastic with Odin and super flexible with pickup and drop-off. You can tell she really loves dogs and is well prepared for any that could happen. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Gail did a great job helping to take care my little doggie Lena. Lena was super happy! I’m super happy and feel lucky to have her pet sit Lena. I love all the pictures Gail sent me during Lena’s stay. Those lovely pics all made my days while i was traveling! Thank you!”

“Zeryab was AMAZING! Very communicative throughout the booking. Truly took care of my babies like her own. I cannot thank her enough. She went above and beyond in making sure they didnt feel lonely while I was away and also made extra trips as her schedule allowed, just to check on them by herself. No extra charges. I am so very grateful to have found a trustworthy caretaker for my furbabies. Will always book with her in the future.”

“Kelsey was fantastic with our cats! She was excellent in keeping with their routines; especially our older cat who has some medical issues and requires medications/an inhaler. It made it easier to enjoy our trip knowing that the cats were in such good hands, and warmed our hearts when Kelsey would send videos of the cats playing.”
“Allison was great with her drop-ins for my two cats. She made the effort to find my shy cat and play with the other high energy one every time. Helped clean up any messes including the mouse my cats caught! On time and communication was easy, highly recommended.”
“Keara was AMAZING!!! One of our cats is extremelyyy shy and always hides from strangers but Keara was so patient and loving with him that by the second visit he was out and about and sharing snuggles ? We received so many cute photos and great consistent communication that made us feel so comfortable. Thank you, Keara!!! Jabba and Rey miss you ??”
“Jake was incredible with my two cats while I was traveling for work. He was communicative, attentive, and sent thoughtful updates. I came home to two happy, relaxed cats and couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

“Katie provided excellent care to our dogs. She followed up with us to make sure we were informed on their behavior and any concerns. The dogs love Katie and feel safe and comforted by her. She is a great dog sitter!”
“Erin did an amazing job taking care of our two cats. She followed our instructions closely and the cats loved hanging out with her and warmed up to her really fast. It’s so nice to come back home seeing the place so tidy and cats so content. Thank you, Erin!”
“Sarah was an excellent cat sitter! We got in-depth notes and the cutest photos with every drop in. Her questions and attentiveness during both the meet and greet and actual sitting period showed that she cared about our cats’ routines/happiness during our absence. It’s always nerve-wracking to allow someone new into our home to care for our babies, but Sarah really put those nerves at ease. Def recommend her to anyone looking for a new sitter in the area and we hope to book her again the future!”
“Kimberly was amazing taking care of Artemis! She has great communication, letting us know everything with the cutest pictures. She went above and beyond everytime and also Artemis had a great time having a furry friend to play with too!”

“Desiree did a wonderful job watching my puppy. She sent updates and even had a nice raincoat for her to wear since I forget hers at home. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. God Bless.”
“Praneet and Venkatq took very good care of our pet. They made sure he got comfortable in the new place and gave him the human comfort he needed. Shared photos frequently during his stay.”
“Sake always enjoys spending time with Carla and her family during doggie daycare. She is well cared for while I am away at work for the day. Carla sends plenty of videos of her eating her food, walking around the neighborhood, enjoying her snack time, playing with her doggie daycare friends and pays special attention, as needed.”
“Harlie enjoyed her stay! This was our first time with Karen. We received many updates and pictures and Harlie went on walks and was kept busy during the day. Have already rebooked for a weekend stay!”
“Highly recommend Kiran. We were able to do a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and got along. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the day which made us so happy to see how at home our pup had made herself, and how welcomed she was into their home. I’m so happy to have had Penny cared by Kiran and will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
“Leanna is fabulous! Accommodated a last-minute change to the schedule and took wonderful care of our furry girl. She so clearly cares about our four-legged friends and I will not hesitate to use her again.”

“Jason&becky is a very considerable dog sitter. Milo had one-day with Jason who shared updates / photos every other hours. Milo played well with their two pups, we are very happy for Jason&becky ‘s service today!”
“Finley had a total blast with Supon. She played, she sunbathed, she hung out at his feet while he worked. We moved to the suburbs recently and Finley isn’t as used to going to dog sitters’ as she was, so she was skittish when she arrived. But very quickly it was clear from photos and videos that she was having the best day ever with new dog friends, Supon, and his expansive outdoor deck. I also appreciated how much Supon kept me updated throughout the day. Finley can’t wait to go back.”
“Taylor was a very kind and let me know how they were doing and sent me pics which I truly appreciate and we hope to count on her for upcoming sitter daycare and possible boarding for our vacation days!”
“Dale and Karen were very sweet and cared for my dog like they would their own. They were very flexible and accommodating. They even had a little report card at the end of the day to let me know how he did. They are my go-to sitters now.”

“Franky has been walking my 57 lb, 12 year old boxer/lab mix for a week now and I’m very pleased. He asked good questions at our meet n greet before the first walk and is taking excellent care of my girl. He’s super nice and clearly loves dogs and knows how to treat them well. 5 stars.”
“We have two mini dachshunds and Maeghan did a great job. We had her come in to walk our dogs one hour each day while we were on vacation. She showed up one time and adjusted for outdoor temperatures and dog attitude about walking. She sent pictures daily with a message, which made our vacation more relaxing as we could see they were in good hands. We will definitely hire her again.”
“My two dogs really enjoy their time with Anna! She goes above and beyond to accommodate last minute requests and it’s very nice knowing I have someone I can trust to be with my fur babies.”
“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”
“Vinnie is extremely communicative, response to emails/texts, and SO friendly. Our dog absolutely loves him and she is so happy to see him each morning. Vinnie is very professional and reliable and we can always count on him to be there for the scheduled days’ walk right on time and with a smile on his face. He also provides photos of the walk adventures which gives us great peace of mind. Highly recommend Vinnie!”
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)
“Carole was great! Arrived on time, my dog was excited to see her and they had a good wander around the neighborhood. She took time with him during the meet and greet to get to know him as he can be anxious. All went well. Plan to book reoccurring walks with Carole!”
“As a first time Rover user, I was very nervous about having a stranger come into our home and care for Greta. Ainsley was great! She answered all of my questions and put me at ease that Greta would be in good hands. Ainsley followed the directions that we left for her and we were kept informed about the visit. We would highly recommend Ainsley and we will definitely use her again.”
“Mel was so great with Jack! It’s so clear that she loves dogs and they love her too. She’s now my go to for all the dog walking and care needs I need help with. Can’t recommend enough”
“Keara was so patient and attentive with my pup! He’s a bit nervous so she can prepared with treats and knew exactly how to get him comfortable! I would totally book again! Thank you for taking such great care of my pup!”
“Nic and his wife Carmen were great on their walk with Scuba. He’s a young and mouthy puppy and tries to eat everything during walks. They handled him with care and he seems to have enjoyed his walk. I’d recommend them!”
“Ashley is truly a gem! I can’t recommend her enough, 10/10 experience all around. She was my go-to dog walker for over three months while I was away for work, and her consistency, communication, and flexibility were exceptional. Thank you so much, Ashley, for taking such great care of Stella. It means a lot knowing she’s not only getting her walks in, but also having fun and getting plenty of playtime while I’m away.”
“I had my son’s wedding and was desperately looking for someone to come let my 2 dogs out both weekend days. One of my dogs can be particular who she lets in the house. From the first minute Skylar came in the house Maddie liked him & never hesitated to go for her walk. Skylar seemed to know exactly how to connect with her. Skylar was very flexible when our times changed a few times when i needed him to come feed and let out the dogs. Because I knew the dogs were in good hands it allowed me to enjoy the wedding without worrying. I am going to continue to use him in the future for dog walks & drop ins. I highly recommend Skylar for any pet needs you have.”
“Ashley was an absolute angel watching my Romeo!! She was extremely thorough and followed my instructions to a T (there were many! Lol) she was inquisitive and took pride in being helpful and making sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was always early or on time and always gave my baby lots of love! I would and WILL be asking her to dog sit again! Thank you so much Ashley!! ⭐️”

About: I have cared for animals for most of my life and have extensive experience providing attentive, compassionate care for pets of all ages and needs. Most recently, I raised a Carolina Dog named Jake, who passed away. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, exercising, administering basic care, and ensuring animals feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am also available to provide service weekends and holidays as needed. I'm generally available, as I currently work from home. Care instructions will be passed on customer needs and requests. You pet would have company during the day, in a safe, clean environment. I live in Dulles Station in Herndon, adjacent to a dog park and walking trails. There is also plenty of room to walk in and around my immediate neighborhood.

I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter who is attentive, communicative, and truly loves what she does.”

Catherine also took Shira on multiple walks and gave her lots of attention so that after just a few hours Shira was feeling right at home.”
“My dog Anna loves being there. Xinyi sends me so many updates and pictures so I’m very reassured that Anna is very well taken care of. 100% recommend! She is quick to respond as well.”
