“Dana is so wonderful with our dog Maya! When we drop off Maya she’s already wagging her tail to see Dana! As pet parents, it just warms our hearts to see the bond Maya has with Dana!!!! Definitely would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!!!”
“I booked my Frenchie to stay with Amber, and my furry little lovebug was so cared for and loved! He has found his home away from home. Amber sent pics and texts daily. This was my pup's 1st time away from home, and it was just what my mommy-pup heart needed. Additionally, my plans changed from R&R to medical care, with constant schedule changes in between. Amber was extremely flexible, and she even reached out to see if additional time was needed. Amber also limits the number of dogs, the sizes, and the breeds she cares for, which is a definite plus for me. Don't hesitate to book with her; you will have such peace of mind for your pup.”
“Elly loves staying a Julie’s! She’s happy when we drop her off and happy (& very tired) when we pick her up! Julie keeps us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos.”
“Once again Cori made me feel really good about leaving my pups in her care. She’s a doll to work with. As if one quirky bull terrier isn’t enough, how about adding a 1 y/o bull terrier and leaving both for 2 weeks? Cori had her hands full but dealt with the issues the young one caused (regression potty training issues, territorial issues, etc). As always, very communicative and understanding about the young one (we figured out that since Pixie was newly rescued, that she must’ve been confused about yet another home she’d been shuffled off to and that was probably the source of the angst). Bodie wasn’t neglected or ignored in this. He may have even gotten to sleep in a human bed… 😂 We don’t have any trips planned any time soon but Cori’s still top of my list (if she’ll have Pixie again!) when I need someone.”
“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“And again I want to thank Heather for taking such a great care of my dog! Every time Floki comes home happy and relaxed. He loves her so much and knowing my pup is loved and in great hands puts me at ease while I’m away.”
“Leslie is incredibly kind and attentive. She took my dog out for a lot of exercise, and kept him happy and safe while I was away. She provided plenty of photos and video updates and followed instructions to a T. She has a big backyard and comfortable looking house in a quiet neighborhood. My dog is usually pretty shy and can take a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he was right at home with Leslie. I would definitely recommend her to others, and plan to book with her again in the future.”
“We were gone for 3 days and got constant updates and pictures and videos. When we picked up our Dixie she was wore out from all the fun she had. Could not recommend more. Will continue to use Heather anytime we need to go out of town. Thank you for treating Dixie as your own!”
“Linda and her family did an excellent job taking care of our pup Wesley. She sent me the cutest pictures and Wesley seemed to be living his best life. So grateful to have found a wonderful pet sitter. I highly recommend trusting Linda with your pet. We will book again!”
“She sent photo updates every day and Frankie had a great time and was well cared for. She also has crates and toys available so I didn’t have to pack it myself which was nice.”
“She was awesome and I didn’t worry about Simon while we were away. It was the first time we left him so at first I was very nervous. Simon had separation anxiety during his stay and she was patient and understanding. She kept us updated on how he was doing throughout his stay with texts and pictures. Will definitely be booking her again for any future trips without hesitation.”
“This is the first time I have used Rover and I'm thankful this app is out there. Jocelyn B. was wonderful. I have one dog that is easy and the other can be a handful. I was thankful that I could leave for the weekend and not worry.”
“Lana was amazing with my dogs! I needed a last minute sitter for my two pups at the last minute and she was nice enough to help me out. She is such a nice and genuine person that loves animals! My pups were very comfortable staying with her. Thank you Lana 🙏🏽”
“They were wonderful with my sweet Minerva! I got regular updates on how she was doing and they were so very kind. After an unexpected extra day of being gone, they even kept her an extra day happily. There was the cutest outside and inside area the pups had free access to. It wasn't like a kennel where she was cooped up all day. She had play time and fun with the other pups. She didn't even want to leave. As we were leaving, she kept pulling on her leash back to Brooke. This is a dog who doesn't pull on leash without being exceptionally sure of what she wants. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They also allow you to see the area the pups are kept before you book which was great!”

“I love Audree. She is so patient with my Lyric. Lyric is a diva already and such a lovable little puppy. I hate leaving her to go anywhere and this is our second time using Audree and I feel so comfortable leaving Lyric with her. She constantly updated me and sent lots of pictures. She is definitely our go to sitter. Thank you again Audree!”

“Katie was very attentive, helpful, and took the absolute best care of our cats. She was very accommodating and asked any questions or concerns she may have which we really appreciated. We felt confident that our babies were well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely recommend booking her.”
“April is very easy to get along with and gave excellent care to our cat Miss Pepper. April sent me pictures of our feline at each visit and informed me of package deliveries. Upon my request she checked the water taps drip to ensure the water doesn’t freeze. I highly recommend her.”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“Ronda watched our cats for a week and made sure they were fed, safe, and given attention while we were away. We appreciated her help and the care she provided during our time out of town.”
“Farrin was the zen to our panic when leaving our two cats for a trip for the first time. She was extremely calm and understanding, especially when concerning our cat with anxiety. She was patient, attentive and provided us with the feedback/support we needed to calm our nerves. Great service!”
About: I have had pets all my life. Right now I have a rescue dog from China and another dog I just adopted from the culpeper shelter! I have 2 cats as well.

My husband also works from home 2 days a week. NO CHILDREN in the home. I have a very large quiet yard to let your dog out to play (fenced in) . I have room to set up crates and food stations. Must be friendly towards other dogs and ok with being crated during bedtime.
“This is our third time having Jessica over. She is very conscientious, responsive, prompt and responsible. She works hard to befriend our kitties even though they are not cooperative, and we appreciate that a lot! We feel very safe giving her access to our pets and our home! She is a blessing and we’re very thankful!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was younger, cleaning the litter box once a day every day. I deep clean it with a hose, and dawn dish soap once a month and refill it with new litter. I spend about an hour playing with them or until they get bored. Cats are by far my favorite animal and I love them dearly. I also tend to feed the strays around my house.
“Amber is a wonderful pet sitter. You can feel confident that your pets are well cared for—she recently looked after several cats across two households and managed everything smoothly over the holidays. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave my babies and would absolutely book her again.”
About: As the daughter of a pet-sitting business owner and veterinary technician, I’ve been caring for animals from an early age. With over 10 years of experience working alongside my mother and in veterinary offices across Northern Virginia, I’ve learned that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care. Before moving back to Northern Virginia in 2023, I also owned a successful pet-sitting business in St. Croix, USVI. My own pets have taught me a lot as well—my pit mix, Bella, survived both a fighting-breed environment and Hurricane Maria, and my two rescue bassets struggled with separation anxiety, as well as our Moluccan cockatoo we raised from a nestling. Those experiences reinforced the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency. I’m a non-smoker, organized, and detail-oriented. I’m also available for last-minute needs and those holiday plans that sometimes run longer than expected. Above all, I take this work seriously and will care for your pet with the same love I give my own. 🐾🖤 Working mainly from home allows me the flexibility to plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. In my home or a client’s, I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, while giving them plenty of love and attention to keep them comfortable. We can work on learning new tricks and reinforcing obedience training.

About: I have owned at least one dog for almost 20 years. For the last 8 years, my husband and I have owned and trained Labrador retrievers and gun dogs. I enjoy spreading our knowledge to those around us to include basic obedience. I have an outdoor area set up to take care of multiple pets. I currently work from home full time and am home all day long so your pet will be closely monitored and taken care of with ease. I have a fenced yard and outdoor kennel areas. I also have a large area inside my home where your pet can be kept inside. I do prefer crating all pets at night for their safety. Whether you prefer your pet to be inside or have no preference whether your pet stays inside or outside, we have both options. I have multiple pets in our home. **Please note if you are a new client and have not stayed with us, I do require proof of up to date pets vaccinations. This can be a quick photo of their records or a link to their records.
“Tillie enjoyed her day with Erica and her son. She is a young dog and enjoys spending time and playing with other dogs. She is a Cavipoo and loves everything and everybody.

“This was our first time using Rover and were unsure of what to expect. But, Ms. Cori made the experience really comforting with communicating through out the day and sending pictures. Kingsly had an amazing time and is looking forward to spending more time with Ms. Cori and her family.”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to birds, bunnies, and even livestock. I grew up working alongside an equine veterinarian and have spent years collaborating closely with small animal vets, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs meds, special care, or just a little extra love, I specialize in supporting animals with medical needs and take pride in being calm, compassionate, and highly attentive. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a lifelong animal caregiver who treats every pet like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it's midday walks, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles, I’m consistently present and available to keep your pets happy and stress-free. My routine is built around their needs—because their comfort and well-being come first. 🐾 In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. My own friendly dogs are always happy to welcome new furry friends, but if your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I can provide a quiet, relaxed space just for them. I tailor the experience to match each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they love to socialize or just want a calm companion.
“Linda and family took great care of Layla. She stresses easily in her old age but not at all stressed with them. They communicated with me several times during her stay and even sent pictures. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and I love them. We currently have two dogs. I have a male Golden doodle named Bo and a female Teddy Bear named Annie. I like to walk the dogs for two 30 minute walks a day. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I have a 7 year old, 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. I have options to separate dogs if necessary. Dogs are separated at feeding time.

I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs.

I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Ligia is by far the best doggy sitter in the world! I had never left my fur baby with anybody else before but Ligia reassured me that he would have a great day and he sure did! Every time I leave Harley at her house, I get pictures of him playing with other dogs and constant updates on how he’s doing. Ligia has helped Harley be able to socialize with other dogs and the best part is that I know he has a fantastic time with her. He’s always super excited to go to her house and play with his best friend, Ducky. I am so happy and blessed that I found Ligia! I absolutely recommend her and her services. Harley and I couldn’t be happier!!”

About: I'm an animal lover that grew up in the northern VA area. I've had pets since I was a child, large and small. I'm willing to care for furry, feathered or caged friends, as well as, farm animals. To me, no home seems complete without a loving pet around. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I can provide morning visits, afternoon visits, evening visits, house sitting, walks, etc. I’m experienced with senior pets, chronic illnesses and injuries, as well as administering medication. I'm flexible and ready to provide you a wonderful service and loving care. I'm here to help keep your pet safe and happy when you’re away. My availability is open to care for your animals, we can discuss your needs and determine a preferred plan. I will come to you as needed. I can offer my services in the comfort of your own home throughout the day, caring for your pets and house sitting if needed. We can walk, play or just give some attention.
About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.
“Toni is kind and fabulous with our dogs. She is always on time and a great communicator. All three of our big girls love her, even the cranky one. Highly recommend this young lady!”
About: I've consistently had at least one cat and dog in my household at all times, if not two! I took Small Animal Care 1&2 in high-school. Durring summer breaks I went to horse camp where we learned how to safely handle, ride, and groom horses. I occasionally take care of my neighbors chickens when they go on vacation. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is made on a monthly basis. I'm available most weekends and weekdays after 1pm. Can do early mornings and late potty breaks. The house I live in has a large front yard and a larger backyard. It is unfenced but in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for walking
“Tiffany has been a lifesaver for us just moving here. She Is patient and consistent with our dog helping him to adapt better. She spends time with him outside as well as inside making sure he has food and water before leaving.”

“Madison did a wonderful job and even took pictures of Kukka! She’s a young pup so I was nervous to leave her—- it was nice to get the updates and see how she was doing :) I hope I can coordinate a time with Madison again!!”
About: Hi there! 🐾 With over 10 years of equine handling experience and many years of dog and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great pet care goes beyond simply being present, it’s about being observant, consistent, and reliable. I take pride in providing calm, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and individual personalities, and I believe patience and consistency make all the difference in helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I value clear, open communication and always make it a priority to keep owners informed and at ease. From daily visits to extended stays, my goal is to provide a dependable, low-stress experience for both pets and their people. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’d be honored to care for your pets and farm animals alike. Rates are not set in stone, I am happy to work with you to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. This flexibility gives me the ability to provide consistent, attentive care, accommodate a variety of routines, and spend meaningful, unhurried time with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very mindful of both the animals and the space they live in. I approach each visit with a safety-first mindset, taking care to secure doors, gates, and feeding areas, and to follow all instructions exactly as given. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior or environment and respond calmly and responsibly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home, and I treat that responsibility with respect and professionalism. My goal is to provide a steady, reliable presence so pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and owners can feel confident knowing their home and animals are in careful hands.

About: I’ve grown up with different animals, from cats and dogs to rodents and fish. I have experience administering medication, simple training and of course tons of play time! I have experience with young to adult and senior animals. My schedule is open Friday nights to Sunday nights as I work full time during the week days. With proper notice an occasional week day is possible My yard is fenced though small but plenty of room to release the zoomies! Caring for animals is a passion and I take as seriously as if it was my own pet. My current dog has some health issues that require home cooked foods and daily medication, so I am no stranger to the extra but rewarding work that animals are!

“Dana is so wonderful with our dog Maya! When we drop off Maya she’s already wagging her tail to see Dana! As pet parents, it just warms our hearts to see the bond Maya has with Dana!!!! Definitely would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!!!”
“Elly loves staying a Julie’s! She’s happy when we drop her off and happy (& very tired) when we pick her up! Julie keeps us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos.”
“Once again Cori made me feel really good about leaving my pups in her care. She’s a doll to work with. As if one quirky bull terrier isn’t enough, how about adding a 1 y/o bull terrier and leaving both for 2 weeks? Cori had her hands full but dealt with the issues the young one caused (regression potty training issues, territorial issues, etc). As always, very communicative and understanding about the young one (we figured out that since Pixie was newly rescued, that she must’ve been confused about yet another home she’d been shuffled off to and that was probably the source of the angst). Bodie wasn’t neglected or ignored in this. He may have even gotten to sleep in a human bed… 😂 We don’t have any trips planned any time soon but Cori’s still top of my list (if she’ll have Pixie again!) when I need someone.”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“And again I want to thank Heather for taking such a great care of my dog! Every time Floki comes home happy and relaxed. He loves her so much and knowing my pup is loved and in great hands puts me at ease while I’m away.”
“Leslie is incredibly kind and attentive. She took my dog out for a lot of exercise, and kept him happy and safe while I was away. She provided plenty of photos and video updates and followed instructions to a T. She has a big backyard and comfortable looking house in a quiet neighborhood. My dog is usually pretty shy and can take a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he was right at home with Leslie. I would definitely recommend her to others, and plan to book with her again in the future.”
“We were gone for 3 days and got constant updates and pictures and videos. When we picked up our Dixie she was wore out from all the fun she had. Could not recommend more. Will continue to use Heather anytime we need to go out of town. Thank you for treating Dixie as your own!”
“She sent photo updates every day and Frankie had a great time and was well cared for. She also has crates and toys available so I didn’t have to pack it myself which was nice.”
“She was awesome and I didn’t worry about Simon while we were away. It was the first time we left him so at first I was very nervous. Simon had separation anxiety during his stay and she was patient and understanding. She kept us updated on how he was doing throughout his stay with texts and pictures. Will definitely be booking her again for any future trips without hesitation.”
“This is the first time I have used Rover and I'm thankful this app is out there. Jocelyn B. was wonderful. I have one dog that is easy and the other can be a handful. I was thankful that I could leave for the weekend and not worry.”
“They were wonderful with my sweet Minerva! I got regular updates on how she was doing and they were so very kind. After an unexpected extra day of being gone, they even kept her an extra day happily. There was the cutest outside and inside area the pups had free access to. It wasn't like a kennel where she was cooped up all day. She had play time and fun with the other pups. She didn't even want to leave. As we were leaving, she kept pulling on her leash back to Brooke. This is a dog who doesn't pull on leash without being exceptionally sure of what she wants. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They also allow you to see the area the pups are kept before you book which was great!”

“Thank you so much, Riza, for taking care of Princess\ the photos you sent gave me peace of mind\. I truly felt that Princess was in good hands\. I really appreciate your kindness and the love you showed her\. I would definitely trust you to care for her again\. Thank you\!”
“Matisa was amazing! She is so kind hearted and made me feel comfortable within minutes of meeting her so I was automatically at ease leaving my dog there - on very short notice by the way (so grateful!). I could tell Loki felt right at home with her family and family dog. He had a big yard to roam, which I’m sure he loved. Matisa sent updates and pictures often which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Christie took excellent care of my two dogs. We also loved receiving the videos and updated on how they were doing. We will definitely try to book with Christie whenever we go out of town and need a great dog sitter.”
“Whitney was wonderful! She made our pups feel right at home and eased their sitter/ boarding anxiety by taking great care of them and sticking to their routine. She accommodated our last minute booking request and sent updates so our minds were completely at ease while our 2 large rescue dogs were in her care. I highly recommend Whitney to care for your pups!”
“Lisa is a terrific Rover. She took care of our two girls a German Shepard and a senior Chihuahua. Lisa communicated with us daily and our dogs were able to have fun adventures making sure they were happy, safe and healthy. We hope to use Lisa for all our pet sitting needs. She is our 3rd state, 3rd Rover and the best.”
“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”
