“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“Heather was awesome to my Jax. I received several pictures while away which made me and the family happy. Heather was also very flexible with our pickup time which was a lifesaver! I can't thank Heather enough!”
“Our puppies love staying with Tracey and her family! Our shy ones feels comfortable with them which just warms our hearts! Will continue to be a repeat customer!”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter and caregiver! Kathleen (Katie) has been my go-to dog boarder for over 15 years, and I was thrilled when she joined Rover so more people could find her. She recently watched my dog for me, and it was just as fantastic as always. From the very first day we met, I knew my pups were in the best hands. Katie truly loves dogs and it shows in everything she does. When we adopted our puppy a while back, Katie was incredibly helpful — offering advice, extra patience, and gentle guidance as we all adjusted to life with a new little one. She has such a calming presence with dogs of all ages and personalities. My dog always comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Katie is professional, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I recommend her without hesitation — she’s the real deal! Thank you, Katie, for always taking such great care of my furry family members. ❤️”
“Jamie was an incredible sitter! She handled all my dog’s quirks well and both her, her family, and all her critters made my pup feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for future trips.”
“Stephen and family have provided our pups with the best vacation - this isn’t boarding - this is their other home and truly love their Rover family. Thank you for all you do - from your hearts 💕”
“My dog Batman had a wonderful stay with Vanessa and Geoffrey. They have a great set up and were very attentive and loving towards my dog. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“Rosalina was very attentive; she communicated thoroughly with me about my fur baby (Percy). Percy enjoyed himself, the amount of happy pictures concurred this, and I were at ease the whole time he was with Rosalina and her watchful care. Hoping to book again in the future.”
“Incredibly responsive and very easy to work with. Flexible with what I needed and willing to work with me to ensure my dog was well taken care of. If I could provide one point is they take on multiple pets at one time. Plus I believe they have two of their own but im not certain. If you have a pet that requires a lot of attention such as a puppy, my recommendation would be to verify how many pets they plan to have while yours is with them. Ensure your pet is social with other animals and is prepared. Other than that, excellent service!”
“Thank you, Cindy! My husband and I appreciate the photos and updates I received from you while Leila was boarding with you for a week! Will definitely rebook when needed!”
“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.”
“Ashley and her family took great care of our cat MJ! The pictures Ashley sent of MJ having fun makes us smile and laugh. We have to ask ourselves, “is that our cat?” because MJ is so comfortable and out going with Ashley and her family. Ashley - thank you for the great care you give to MJ!”
“Anthony did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs! He truly cares, sends pictures and updates daily, and makes sure he learns about each of your dog's needs. We will definitely ask Anthony to watch them again!”
“Kasandra was incredible! She sent us multiple photos a day of Piper. Piper loved her pug and was constantly playing fetch. We are so happy with our experience with Kasandra and we will be using her again for sure!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, caring for cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits of all ages. Experience with puppies and senior animals, and the extra care that requires. Available for overnights, daytime visits, and even bath time. I currently work full time but I am available in the evenings to love on your furry family member. I love taking dogs for walks or playing fetch. I have a crate to keep your pup comfortable in my home, plus a dog, cat, and two affectionate teenagers. If visiting a client’s home, I will love on the fur baby and make sure it has plenty of food, water, treats, and playtime.
“Jessie was absolutely amazing. She communicated with us throughout our trip and asked us questions if there were any uncertainties about their care. They had a nice sized backyard they could run around and I appreciated that she replicated the sort of accommodations they were used to in our home. When I went to pick up our dogs, she provided me with thorough updates and I could tell our doggies were pleased with her care. I would definitely book Jessie again!”
“Loki enjoyed his stay with Camila and her family. She sent us pictures and told us how he was doing each day while we were on our trip. Her kids were good to Loki. He is a rescue and I am sure he was anxious to be left again. Camila understood and made sure he had lots of snuggles pets to and treats. We appreciate them giving him lots of love on his first time away from home.”
“GG’s funny farm was amazing as always! I forgot to provide a slow feeder bowl, but luckily Heather had an extra one that Nova could use during her stay. Nova got lots of exercise and had a ton of fun. I also appreciate how organized and clean the dogs’ space is! I always feel great leaving Nova here because it’s like her home away from home 😊”
“My dog had a great time at Rachel's house. I was happy to receive photo updates while she was there. I plan to take her there again for future petsitting needs.”
“My pup Nikko stayed with Corey for almost a week and he had a blast there! He came home super exhausted. Corey was great at letting me know how he was doing every day and super responsive. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha was amazing!! She took care of both my babies and she was great, my cats were comfortable with her. She was very communicative and kept me updated with pictures!! It’s nice to know we have a trusted pet sitter for the next time we travel!”
About: I have cared for my dog since a young age and she is a happy 11 year old dog. I also have another dog who is three years old and I take care of both of them. I go to school in rome as well as play soccer there and I am home for the summer so I have plenty of free time. I will feed, walk, and care for the pets whatever their needs may be. Whatever the pet owners demand, I will provide to the best of my abilities.
“Brenda was such a wonderful Petsitter! I could not be any happier! She was quick to respond to my last min request (4 weeks of daily drop-ins and care for my cat). We chatted and did a meet and greet shortly after my request. She met my cat, Watson, who warmed up to her immediately. I gave her a run down of the house and Watson’s routine. She did everything I asked, coming in everyday to care for Watson and give him attention. She was easy to reach in case and sent regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her as a Petsitter! I would definitely utilize her services again in the future.”
“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!”
“Krystal was fantastic! Took very good care of our cat while we went away for Thanksgiving and went above and beyond and swept the mess of litter that the cat always makes. I’m very satisfied and would hire Krystal to catsit again.”
“Nadia is wonderful! Our cats warmed up to her immediately - even the cat that is normally very skittish. Her updates and photos were great, and I had no worries at all during our trip. I would highly recommend Nadia!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. In the last few years I've boarded over 30 dogs at the house. I've completed over 250 services on wag with dogs, cats, and a pig while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating. References available upon request. Pet care is my full time job. Dogs will have free range around the house and I'm with them 100% of the time unless I have to go walk another dog. My house has a dog door attached to a fenced backyard which the dogs have full access to throughout the day. They're also allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a nice trail by the house which my dog and I walk about 5 miles a day on.

New to Rover? You can get $20 off your first booking with the promo code "STEPHH14235" I am a self-employed homebody who has an extremely flexible schedule and doesn't currently have pets in the home. This means that I can provide 24/7 care and 100% focus on your little friend full-time. More importantly, your pet will be more comfortable always having a human around. I've been called reliable, honest and punctual. I take a more personalized approach and only serve one client at a time. This way I can provide the most efficient care based on their specific needs while also mitigating the risks of hosting multiple unfamiliar dogs at once. The three pillars of my pet care are safety, reliability, and comfort.
“My kitty Sebastian has found a friend for life! Michele was amazing--best pet sitter ever. She made sure Sebastian had plenty of food and water, changed his litter box everyday and sent us fantastic photos and videos of him everyday. Couldn't ask for anything more. I would highly recommend Michele for any pet setting you might need--we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“Alyssa is so very sweet and gentle with our furbabies. She’s lovely, uber-reliable (no reminders needed), and absolutely trustworthy! We appreciated communication with feedback about her visits and photos to see that our dogs were OK!”
“Having a 19 year old cat, we did not want to leave her with just anyone while we were anyway. Daniel was willing to come by for a meet and greet to make sure he was a good match. He was excellent to work with for set up and came by on schedule and spent time feeding and providing company in our absence. Daniel provided pictures for each visit which was comforting. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and friendly with your pet, he is your person.”
“Jacob was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was loved and taken care of while we were away. He’s responsible and reliable, and I’d recommend him to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Emma went above and beyond to take care of my Pooffy. I was away from home, outside of US for.more than a month. She prompty stepped in and took the best care of my fur son. She is very well communicative, fun and loved pooffy a lot. Very aptient and always ready to support the pet parents. I have been taking her services several times and definitely can vouch for her! 🌷🌷”
“Brenda stopped by our home to check on our kitties and make sure they were fed and given some love! She took a bunch of photos and did everything I asked and was very punctual. She was quick to respond and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who was looking for a trustworthy person to stop by while they’re away!”

“Yulissa was very friendly and really cared and took care of my pup while I was away. She was also very flexible and was able to accommodate a schedule shift when my plans went a bit longer than expected. 10/10!”
“Jim has been our go to guy every single time we're traveling. We always know that leaving the pups with him means they'll be cared for and get plenty of exercise while they're at it. We usually get Winnie and Ollie back happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing all weekend. 100/10!”
“Our dog LOVES Benji, his dogs, and his home. We are so glad to have found him. We will bring our dog to him every week for a visit, even just to give him a fun play date. We highly recommend Benji and we hope other dogs with loving owners will get to have the same experience!”
About: "Always do the right thing even when no one's watching." With decades of experience caring for big/small pups, cats, farm animals, Guinea pigs, and more, I offer a cozy & loving environment in my peaceful Cottage-style home for your furr babie(s). I have a big fenced yard for the pups to securely play, run, and a convenient doggy door for their convenience. Your pup will get lots of love and cuddles, guaranteed. ❤️ IMPORTANT: When requesting to book me, you will be promoted to select one of the two services I provide: The first is "Boarding", which means your pup will stay with me overnight for consecutive days in a row and getting lots of love and endless attention 🤗. The second service is "Doggy Day Care", consisting of your pup being dropped off by you (or designated guardian) and picked up that same day by you or guardian of choice. This also means your pup might get to play with other client's fur baby in my home for Doggy Day Care, and not staying overnight. If your fur baby requires overnight care even on a day that is not consecutive, and you prefer they're not around other client's pets but mine (Teddy & Daphne), then the service you want is definitely "Boarding". Happy to clarify this with you during our first Meet'n Greet" and modify the booking for you if necessary. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 I'm the favorite aunt of many furry babies care for within the safety of my home for friends and families. I'd be so happy to provide the care and love to fur babies needing a getaway while their parents go on vacation :). If you're interested in a house visit or a meet'n greet for your pup(s) to meet my two little pups before booking, that works great! Simply send me a message and I'll coordinate with you :) I am available holidays too!! Warm Hugs! ENVIRONMENT: I have a 0.22 acre fenced yard, a doggy door, a patio with a Ring Camera and sensor lights. I have cameras all around the house as well and will never walk the babies without their leash and harness. Your pups will not leave my premises or be under the care of no one else but me. Depending on what service you need, the pups sleep with me, and will receive endless cuddles, and meals (following the owner's instructions), and will get along with my very two friendly small dogs, Teddy and Daphne.
“Pup was so happy when I got back and she even went above and beyond to clean him up after he went to town on the dirt. Felt like she loved him as much as I do! Thank you, Tracey!”
“We were SUPER pleased with Saroj as a sitter for our pup! Her house and grounds are BEAUTIFUL and she and her husband were lovely, kind people. If you are looking for a superb and safe place for your pets, book with Saroj! PS: IKEA is very near Saroj's house!”
“Cindy does an amazing job with Milo. Milo has separation anxiety and he’s blind. She takes care of him as if he was her own and it means so much to us. We trust her completely to leave Milo with her at any time. She’s very accommodating with both of our work schedules and is always available for us when we need help with Milo. we would recommend her service to anyone. Looking for great care for their pets.”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”
“As an anxious first time dog momma I was so nervous to leave my pup with anyone. Krystal and her husband made it so easy to leave my sweet boy behind (14 week golden retriever) . I got frequent pictures lots of updates & he loved her dogs! Thank you Krystal for treating my puppy like one of your own!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a quiet cuddle. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.

About: Hi, I’m Emma! Animals have always brought me the most peace and joy so naturally, dogsitting is one of my favorite things! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, timid pets, and can administer medication. I will treat your pet like the king or queen they are and provide them with love and comfort! I currently am a sophomore in community college with a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet! I have my own transportation that makes my availability open and free. I spend a lot of time getting to know an animal to in-force trust and to create a comfortable environment . In my experience, I notice that this is key to easing any pet that is feeling weary about their owner not being present. This gives me room to follow instructions such as walks, medications, etc. effectively.
“We can’t say enough nice things about Michele! In the few months we have had our dog, Michele has visited Kiki on short notice, been flexible enough to move around times and days, picked her up to spend the day at her house and always sends lots of cute pictures! Michele has even helped out with puppies we were fostering and visits our two kitties when we are out of town. Glad we were able to find Michele and really appreciate how well she treats all our animals. Thanks, Michele!!”
About: I grew up caring for my dog, Roxy, who taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the love that comes with caring for animals. After losing her a year ago, I realized how much I really miss being around dogs, which is what inspired me to start pet sitting. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work at a children’s swim school, but I pick up shifts as needed, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I’m also off for summer break right now, which gives me even more availability to dedicate time, attention, and care to your pets throughout the week. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always make sure animals feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I’m happy to follow any routines you have for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or special instructions, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with respect while making your pet’s safety my top priority.

“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”

“Stephen H did an exceptional job walking our 2 dogs. He came on shorter notice than I would normally provide due to a family emergency. He was always punctual and brought sunshine to the dogs and their owners. He trained our 3 y/o greyhound mix to walk on a leash in 3 days. He took care of the dogs so well that I will always go to him first for future dog walking jobs. Thank you, Stephen H.”

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 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.
About: Hi! I’m Sharyll, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Back in Nicaragua, I volunteered at Lucito Shelter, where I helped rescue, feed, and care for animals in need — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of earning every pet’s trust. Currently, I work at PetSuites, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I handle feedings, playtime, walks, and comfort for both dogs and cats every day. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my professional experience in a structured pet care environment. Whether your pet needs active playtime, gentle walks, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like at home. ❤️ I’m available 2–3 days a week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust depending on your needs — whether it’s daily walks, weekend care, or occasional visits. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before starting. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. I make sure doors and gates are secure during visits, use leashes properly for walks, and keep pets supervised at all times. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — just like when you’re home. ❤️

I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.

“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“Heather was awesome to my Jax. I received several pictures while away which made me and the family happy. Heather was also very flexible with our pickup time which was a lifesaver! I can't thank Heather enough!”
“Our puppies love staying with Tracey and her family! Our shy ones feels comfortable with them which just warms our hearts! Will continue to be a repeat customer!”
“Jamie was an incredible sitter! She handled all my dog’s quirks well and both her, her family, and all her critters made my pup feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for future trips.”
“Stephen and family have provided our pups with the best vacation - this isn’t boarding - this is their other home and truly love their Rover family. Thank you for all you do - from your hearts 💕”
“My dog Batman had a wonderful stay with Vanessa and Geoffrey. They have a great set up and were very attentive and loving towards my dog. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“Rosalina was very attentive; she communicated thoroughly with me about my fur baby (Percy). Percy enjoyed himself, the amount of happy pictures concurred this, and I were at ease the whole time he was with Rosalina and her watchful care. Hoping to book again in the future.”
“Thank you, Cindy! My husband and I appreciate the photos and updates I received from you while Leila was boarding with you for a week! Will definitely rebook when needed!”
“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.”
“Anthony did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs! He truly cares, sends pictures and updates daily, and makes sure he learns about each of your dog's needs. We will definitely ask Anthony to watch them again!”
“Kasandra was incredible! She sent us multiple photos a day of Piper. Piper loved her pug and was constantly playing fetch. We are so happy with our experience with Kasandra and we will be using her again for sure!”
“Jessie was absolutely amazing. She communicated with us throughout our trip and asked us questions if there were any uncertainties about their care. They had a nice sized backyard they could run around and I appreciated that she replicated the sort of accommodations they were used to in our home. When I went to pick up our dogs, she provided me with thorough updates and I could tell our doggies were pleased with her care. I would definitely book Jessie again!”
“Loki enjoyed his stay with Camila and her family. She sent us pictures and told us how he was doing each day while we were on our trip. Her kids were good to Loki. He is a rescue and I am sure he was anxious to be left again. Camila understood and made sure he had lots of snuggles pets to and treats. We appreciate them giving him lots of love on his first time away from home.”
“GG’s funny farm was amazing as always! I forgot to provide a slow feeder bowl, but luckily Heather had an extra one that Nova could use during her stay. Nova got lots of exercise and had a ton of fun. I also appreciate how organized and clean the dogs’ space is! I always feel great leaving Nova here because it’s like her home away from home 😊”
“My dog had a great time at Rachel's house. I was happy to receive photo updates while she was there. I plan to take her there again for future petsitting needs.”
“My pup Nikko stayed with Corey for almost a week and he had a blast there! He came home super exhausted. Corey was great at letting me know how he was doing every day and super responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Michael and Alaina (and doggie Deji) were amazing hosts. We had a fairly last minute request for them to watch our golden, Penny, for eight nights, including a holiday weekend, and they were more than accommodating. They were communicative, sent pictures several times a day, and took Penny on lots of walks and multiple outings (Great Falls, Ft Ward and Starbucks to name a few). We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Penny with Michael, Alaina and Deji again and they will be our first message when looking for a dog sitter in the future.”

“Maria goes above and beyond to care for dogs. She cooks for dogs in her care. There were times I was thinking “my dog is eating better than I am”. She sends multiple daily photos and videos. You could immediately tell, it was more than just a job to her. Her, and her entire family, went above and beyond to make my dog feel right at home during my last 2 weeks away. I would recommend her for anyone who feels that dogs are a member of the house and I will be using her again for future trips from home.”
“Kenneth watched my older husky for just over a week and I couldn’t be happier for his help! He sent lots of pictures and updates throughout my dogs stay, he was very communicative with everything and overall I would love to have your help again with watching Charlie and would definitely be recommending you to others! Thank you so much!”
