“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“Absolute best care of our pets and our home. Our dog and 2 cats were happy to see us when we returned from vacation and showed no signs of stress. Our home was in great shape too. We are so pleased. We highly recommend Christine.”
“Very kind, responsive, communicative, and overall great experience. Tehani provided updates throughout my dog's stay and he seemed to have a great time with her own dogs. Would recommend!”
“This is my second time booking with Helena & Nathan! Louis loves doing zoomies in their backyard and came back home exhausted. He had a minor paw injury before dropping him off which required them to clean his paw every night and they had no problem doing it. Thanks so much!!”
“Jodee, AJ and Maverick took care of our Daphne as if she was there own. She had a blast playing with Maverick and touring their neighborhood!!! Thank you for making Daphne feel at home❤️”
“Alyce and her family are the absolute best! My dog absolutely loves staying with them and is obsessed with their sweet dog Mookie. They take amazing care of my dog when he is there and are super communicative. I could not recommend Alyce more!”
“Molly was very well cared for and because of the many pictures I received I saw how she was pampered. She is a very happy little dog. If/when I need boarding for Molly I will definitely request Hyunbang P.”
“We were thankful to have Laurie and Richard for our dog sitters. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We had plenty of pictures and updates and it was a good experience!”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Aisha was excellent and I will certainly use her again!! Blanche thoroughly enjoyed her stay and Aisha kept me updated with lots of photos of my sweet girl while I was away! Aisha was also very thorough with gathering information about Blanche before our stay and she even had a large crate for Blanche to use while she was there so I didn't have to lug my own crate in. This was such a help because the crate and all of the other things that come with an overnight stay can be a lot! I look forward to booking a weekend with Aisha again soon!”
“Katerine was fantastic - she’s a naturally very kind person and took great care of our dog. She sent lots of pics and shared updates throughout our week long trip. At pick up, she gave a great rundown of the week and our dog seemed quite happy. She has a nice, fenced in backyard and a nice, grassy area for walks. All around, a great Rover experience.”
“Kevin is FANTASTIC! Morty is super fun too! They're organized, thoughtful, friendly, outgoing, flexible and kind. Our dog came home with better manners than when we left! We look forward to using their services again soon!”
“Gail is amazing. So much so that I don’t giz wanted to come home lol. She sent several updates and made me feel at ease. This is my first time using the service and I was extremely nervous but Gail put all my nerves at ease. I will highly recommend Gail if you would like a caring person who will treat your dog as her own. Thank you Gail you are AWESOME!”
“Nyla and Corey were great with our elderly diabetic pug-mix Dexter. They were very patient, followed our detailed instructions, and asked great questions. It's clear they really care and want to give dogs the best possible stay during boarding with them. Would 100% recommend and are using them again next weekend.”
“Thank you, Rae! No worries with leaving Seymour with Rae at all. We came home to a very happy, well cared for pup. Seymour loves Rae! Will definitely book with her again if needed.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Leo! John was absolutely amazing — from the very start he was super responsive and so kind. Leo can be picky about rain, lazy when it’s hot, and a little particular about his eating (clean dish every time!), but John handled everything so wonderfully. He made sure Leo got his walks (adjusting for weather!), gave him all the love, and kept us constantly updated with sweet photos and notes that really gave us peace of mind while we traveled. Coming home to such a happy and relaxed pup says it all. Truly grateful for the care, attention, and thoughtfulness John showed. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to love their pup like family!”
“Vincent was awesome! My husband and I went on vacation for 2 weeks in Italy and was the first time we could not take Chifli with us. Chifli has stayed with pet sitters for a night here and there but we were never to far. I was so nervous, but Vincent helped me leave with confidence that Chifli would be loved and cared for and that he was! Vincent would send us pictures or videos daily so I can continue to enjoy my vacation and know that he was enjoying his stay also with Vincent. Thank you Vincent!”

“Lina is extremely attentive and caring towards our pets. Even our usually shy kitty has learned to come and greet her at the door. We feel at ease leaving our pets knowing they are in the best hands!”
“Mitzi was really great! Communicated consistently and her care for my cat while I was away gave me real peace of mind. And my cat was definitely much happier when I came back home.”
“Sarah is the best! She took great care of my cat as always and was super flexible and accommodating when we had some logistical issues come up. We've booked her several times now and will definitely book again!”
“Molly is amazing! I have used her a couple times now and Ive been so amazed at how my shy cat lets her interact with her! Shes also incredibly reliable and easy to communicate with”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone else, and everything went perfectly. He followed all our instructions, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha is a great sitter! I never worry when she is at my house and the cats love her! Run up to her like she was me. Highly recommend her as a sitter. I had a last minute booking and she took care of me. Always flexible and caring. Even noticed that my cats unplugged their automatic feeder and took care of it. I have used her on multiple bookings and will continue to do so. She is my cats favorite sitter!”
“Kelly did great stopping in and watching my cat for the week I was at the beach. This was the first time I had someone watch my cat since he went on his meds and since his brother passed away, but Kelly did a great job administering his medicine and I loved the updates showing all the hugs and playtimes my cat was receiving while I was away! Thanks Kelly!”
“Trent was fantastic! Super professional and responsive. He sent us info after every visit and was great with our two cats, one of whom wouldn’t eat last time we were away (with a different sitter). The cats responded very well to Trent’s easy going manner!! Will hire him again for sure.”

About: I have had cats my whole life and used to pet sit for them for family friends in high school and college! My favorite cat was our family cat, "Fat Cat," named because he had the attitude of a mob boss. To that end, I love cats with a little sass and the one that are snuggly.
“Elisa is a total pro. Our cat warmed up to her as soon as he met her. She had no issues at all with his complicated schedule of oral and injectable meds. And, from the great pictures we received, it looked like he was thoroughly enjoying every visit!”
About: With eight years of firsthand experience caring for my own beloved husky, I understand the importance of companionship, routine, and unconditional love in a pet's life. This deep bond motivates me to provide the same level of care and attention to every dog I have the privilege of caring for. My schedule is currently flexible. I can make almost anything work. I'm okay with both early mornings or late nights. Whatever I can do to help! Since my experience comes from taking care of a very demanding husky, I'm used to having to be ready for playtime 24/7 or an 8 hour nap days.

“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
About: I’ve loved dogs since as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always the friend who would come over and play withy friend’s dogs as much as possible since we couldn’t have one due to allergies (my dad). I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, as I got my own puppy in summer of 2022. My dog is super social/friendly with other dogs and loves to play all day long. I also frequently watch my friend’s dogs whenever they are out of town. You pup will be treated as if they are part of my family! I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so your dog will be in good hands no matter what! Just let me know any specifics for care and I’ll be sure to take the best care of them! I primarily work from home during the week, so I’ll be around to watch your pup during the day and night! Weekends I am also available to watch the pups! I typically am flexible on whether I leave the dogs home alone and for how long, so just let me know what works for you! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and have one dog of my own who is very social around other dogs. There’s also quite a few parks/fields around me where I typically take my dog, so your pup can get plenty of exercise! We take our dog out 3-4 times a day, but can be flexible for your pets needs! We also have a crate if needed, but we do not crate our dog whenever we leave him at home. We do allow our dog on the furniture (even though he never snuggles us), but can be flexible for whatever you prefer. We also have a doggy camera to keep a close eye on the pups when we aren’t there.

“Kind, accommodating and extremely gentle. My dog misses her instantly and she will always be the person to care for him. She sends pictures and videos and truly is remarkable. Highly recommended”
“Katerine and Brian did a great job watching Mia, and she enjoyed her time with them. She got to interact with other small dogs they were watching and was spoiled with a lot of snuggle time. Katerine also took some Christmas-card-worthy photos of Mia. Would happily leave Mia with Katerine and Brian again.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, so I know the little things that make a dog comfortable, from reading their body language to knowing when it's walk time versus nap time. I also regularly dog sit for close friends, so I'm used to adjusting to different routines and personalities (every dog's got them). My husband and I both work from home with flexible schedules, so your dog gets real company throughout the day, not just quick check-ins! We've also got a dachshund, Alfie, who's super friendly and always down for play time. Any dog we watch gets treated like part of the family, lots of walks, lots of belly rubs, and lots of love! I work a part-time, work-from-home job, so I have a lot of flexibility built into my week. My husband works from home too, so there's always someone around during the day. We have a big yard for dogs to run and play in, and on rainy days we've got plenty of toys to keep things fun indoors. Our neighborhood is also very walkable, so daily walks are an easy part of the routine. Whether it's a boarding stay or a full day of daycare, your dog will get lots of attention, exercise, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. We will treat your dog like family! Your dog's safety and comfort come first, always. We have a fully fenced yard, so playtime and potty breaks are secure, and dogs are never left unsupervised outside. Indoors, they've got space to relax, plenty of toys, and a calm environment to settle into, plus a friendly playmate in our dachshund, Alfie, if they're feeling social. We stick close to your dog's normal routine (feeding times, walk schedule, bedtime habits) so the transition feels as seamless as possible, and we're always happy to send photo or video updates throughout their stay. If your dog requires extra care, just let us know, we're happy to accommodate!
“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
“When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dogs! She took excellent care of them and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.”
“Thank you Sophie for treating our girl like your own, she’s always in the best hands with you. She had the best time sniffing your gardens, playing with Love, getting sprinkler time, and all the pets - she didn’t want to leave today 😆 .”
“Leila was absolutely lovely! She took so many pictures and videos of my little Hadley and gave him lots of love, attention and walks. I would book her again.”
“It was so easy coordinating Milo’s meet-and-greet and first daycare day with Asia. All the great reviews are well deserved—we’d absolutely recommend her. Milo was clearly well cared for and came home happy and healthy.”
About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
“Lily and Eric are great! They were able to accommodate a last minute booking and are flexible with pickup time which is so appreciated. Chance didn’t want to leave this evening!”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”
About: We had a Shih Tzu for 4 or 5 years her name was Nyla and she was apart of the family and we loved her I'm looking for a something to do with not working at this time, I am trying to get in shape as well and this would help I live in an apartment but it's pet friendly here with bags to clean up behind them and a dog park so they can exercise
“Keith and Jessica were very responsive and so sweet! We had a meet and greet before I dropped Charlie off to stay with them for a day and I could tell they just love having dogs around. I’m so glad I could take him to such a kind and caring home!”
“Our pup loved staying with Andrew! It was our first time leaving him since we got him and we were at ease knowing he would have a blast! When we picked him up he immediately passed out in the car.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs like Boston terrier, golden retriever and cockapoo for years. Neighbors, families and friends, they all are comfortable with me for petting their loved ones. I have experienced with staying with dogs overnight, playing, walking dogs and blushing and cleaning them. I’m pretty easy to get along with any kind of dogs. I’m currently working a part time job, so I have plenty of time for taking care of the pups! I would be available after 6pm on weekdays and full day on Sunday. I’m pretty good and easy to get a long with any kind of dogs with warm heart. I can create and make your loved ones feel safe and comfortable with me.
“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
About: I love being around animals and have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I own a rescue dog, which has taught me the importance of patience and providing a safe, loving environment for animals of all backgrounds. I have volunteered for the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation and the Animal Welfare League of Arlington where I have looked after dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule and committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their families are away. I have recently graduated from William & Mary and have an open schedule with the flexibility to walk, feed, care, and tend to your pet during your preferred times of day. I am also available to house sit and stay overnight with your pet. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure the needs of your pet are prioritized. I will provide updates, send photos of your pet, and communicate clearly. I am respectful, accountable, and will closely follow any instructions you have set for your pet.

“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
About: I just love animals! I have worked for an animal advocacy organization and received ongoing education about the care of companion animals. I volunteered at Fairfax County Animal Shelter walking and showing dogs, and fostering dogs, cats, kittens, guinea pigs, rabbits and more. I know how to meet a pet where they need me to be, whether it's lots of snuggles or lots of personal space. I grew up in a house full of animals and I look forward to meeting you and your precious pet. I'm only in the office 2 days a week so I have good flexibility to take care of your treasured pet and look forward to meeting you both! I have a fenced in patio area for lounging outdoors and great walking paths with lots of things to sniff. I love playing fetch and teaching new tricks if you're up for it!

About: I've been dog sitting for neighbors since I was 14 (I'm 20 now). I also have three dogs of my own and love animals! I have trained my three dogs in basic skills and have cared for senior dogs as well. Each dog deserves a daily walk and I would love to make that happen! I am a flight attendant, so I am gone on the weekends. I usually have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off, and occasionally Mondays and Thursdays. I would be a great person to walk your dog two or three times a week, or in the case that your other dog walker is busy! I prefer to meet at my client's home since that's a familiar location for dogs. From there, I would walk around your neighborhood for the distance that the dog needs.

“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“This is my second time booking with Helena & Nathan! Louis loves doing zoomies in their backyard and came back home exhausted. He had a minor paw injury before dropping him off which required them to clean his paw every night and they had no problem doing it. Thanks so much!!”
“Alyce and her family are the absolute best! My dog absolutely loves staying with them and is obsessed with their sweet dog Mookie. They take amazing care of my dog when he is there and are super communicative. I could not recommend Alyce more!”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Aisha was excellent and I will certainly use her again!! Blanche thoroughly enjoyed her stay and Aisha kept me updated with lots of photos of my sweet girl while I was away! Aisha was also very thorough with gathering information about Blanche before our stay and she even had a large crate for Blanche to use while she was there so I didn't have to lug my own crate in. This was such a help because the crate and all of the other things that come with an overnight stay can be a lot! I look forward to booking a weekend with Aisha again soon!”
“Nyla and Corey were great with our elderly diabetic pug-mix Dexter. They were very patient, followed our detailed instructions, and asked great questions. It's clear they really care and want to give dogs the best possible stay during boarding with them. Would 100% recommend and are using them again next weekend.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Leo! John was absolutely amazing — from the very start he was super responsive and so kind. Leo can be picky about rain, lazy when it’s hot, and a little particular about his eating (clean dish every time!), but John handled everything so wonderfully. He made sure Leo got his walks (adjusting for weather!), gave him all the love, and kept us constantly updated with sweet photos and notes that really gave us peace of mind while we traveled. Coming home to such a happy and relaxed pup says it all. Truly grateful for the care, attention, and thoughtfulness John showed. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to love their pup like family!”
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Shanti boarded our pup, Koda while we were on vacation for over a week. She provided excellent care, sent pictures, and reached out with updates. Koda seemed very happy when we returned for pick up. We will be reaching out again. Thanks Shanti!”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“Khristie was excellent with my dog Goose who is somewhat needy and shy. He was immediately comfortable around her and she took great care of him. He had a ton of quality cuddle and play time. Can’t thank you enough!”
“We had an amazing experience with April! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our dogs absolutely adored her, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to keep us updated and made sure they were happy and comfortable the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future—highly recommend!”
“Trinity was amazing! Cash and her did well at the meet n greet. She informed me of the walk schedule, sent plenty of pictures and even noticed he needed a little extra TLC and jumped right on it. She was patient with his anxiety and even took him to the dog park daily. I look forward to working with Trinity again. Cash loves her!!”
“I’ve booked with Asia several times and she’s great! Very communicative and kind, and my dog Layla is so excited to see her when her car pulls up. I feel very at-ease leaving her with Asia!”
“Andrew was kind to send us pictures. Our dog can be a little anxious, but he adjusted well for the week we were away. Andrew’s place is very convenient, and has a large yard.”
