“Jill and Sean were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gideon. They graciously agreed to a day trial run, which meant so much to us as we navigate some changes in his life. Since the passing of our older dog, Dino, Gideon has struggled with being separated from us and can become quite anxious at drop-off. Jill and Sean were incredibly patient, flexible, and comforting when Gideon became upset. They took the time to help him settle in and made him feel safe and cared for. Throughout his 7-hour stay, they sent thoughtful updates and photos that reassured us he was adjusting well and receiving lots of attention. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Gideon’s well-being and understood that every dog has unique needs. Their kindness and compassion gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitters. Thank you, Jill and Sean, for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️”
“Our dog Emmy enjoyed her second stay with Sophia while we were in CA. We can relax while on vacation knowing our pup is happy and enjoying her time with Sophia and the other pups. Sophia really understands dogs and even worked on Emmy’s training. Emmy came home even better behaved! We loved the daily pictures while on vacation.”
“Highly Recommended! I couldn't be happier with the care Barfie received! Nalleli did an incredible job socializing him and kept me updated with daily photos and videos, which I truly appreciated. It was so clear he was happy, well-exercised, and loved—I'll definitely be booking again!”
“Our dog has the best time going to Jennifer's house when we go out of town for the weekend. As soon as we pull up to her driveway he immediately knows where he is and gets so excited to go inside and play with her dog. You can tell her and her family are so warm with their pets. We feel good leaving our dog there knowing he is in great hands having the best time. Jennifer always is great about providing daily communication and pictures. We would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pup”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“As always Penny received the best care with Juli! She has a great set-up in her house and fenced in yard that is similar to what Penny is used to so she feels right at home.”
“Lily had a wonderful trail walk every day! Ivan and his family gave her love and great care while my family was in vacation! Thank you so much Ivan and Lily will happily come to your house again!”
“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Leslie took great care with our boys, Bodhi and Bear. This was the first time we left them with a pet sitter. It was reassuring to get regular updates and photos for our boys from Leslie. She did a wonderful job caring for them, giving them plenty of love and activity. They seemed to settle right in and had a great stay. I highly recommend Leslie and will use her again!”
“Andrew and his family took such great care of Ollie while we were away. They truly made him feel like part of their family and spoiled him with treats he loved. Andrew kept us updated all weekend with photos, and it was clear that Ollie was having a wonderful time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands.”
“Kendall is an excellent sitter and took amazing care of our pup. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and has a good time! I would not hesitate to book again and I hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Highly recommend Xinyi! She took incredible care of our dog, Louis. We could tell how comfortable he was with her once we got him home; he was happy and completely free of anxiety. Xinyi sent daily updates and photos, which totally put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation guilt-free. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we go away!”
“Our dogs LOVE staying with Rachel! She has kept them for us several times over the last couple of years and it’s always a positive experience for both us and our two pups, which really helps us enjoy our time away knowing they’re in such good hands. Rachel’s communication is great and she’s even been flexible with us a few times when needed. I really enjoy the picture and video updates during their stay - I can tell they feel right at home and have so much fun with her dogs as well :)”
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)

“Zeryab was amazing with both my cats. She even took the time to make a bonus trip to check in my older cat. She communicated with pics and videos and allowed my now wife and I to enjoy our wedding day w/o needing to worry about the cats.”
“Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Romeo while we were away and was very attentive and responsible. When the weather was bad and our return flight might have been delayed, she proactively reached out and reassured us that she could continue caring for Romeo until we got back. That gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was smooth, and she was incredibly thoughtful throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!”
“Paige is so wonderful with our cats and we are lucky to have her take care of them. She's conscientious and sends such adorable pictures of them. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.”
“I had to travel into town with my dog and it was going to be long work days. I was relieved to find Rachael and meet her — knowing my dog would be well cared for! Highly recommended her to others!”
“Brianna was very attentive to the needs of my pet, and I am quite pleased that I have chosen her. I will be definitely using her service in the future, and highly recommend her.”
“Excellent sitter! Great communication and prompt responses! Alexis loved on our old grumpy kitty while we were away and was super patient and kind to her. I will definitely use Alexis next time!”
“Julie S. was simply awesome. I got regular updates and pics/videos, and when I got home everything was perfect, clean and my cats were clearly relaxed and happy. Highly recommend.”

“Ana is my go to pet sitter. She's very reliable - and has helped in last minute requests. Great communication skills. I never worry about my pets because I know they are well cared for and in loving hands!”
About: In my experience, cats are much more comfortable in their own homes, with visits from a caretaker person. I have had cats and been around cats all my life. I understand cats and won’t push them to be friendly if that’s not the cat’s personality. Kittens are another matter entirely. Please know that if they are destructive or high-energy, that is going to be a problem.
About: I’ve always loved cats and grew up with two family cats. I’m very familiar with their personalities and care. While I don’t currently have any cats of my own, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that means playtime, keeping them company, or just giving them all the pets!!!! I understand that every cat is different, from super social to more independent, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes your cat feel most comfortable. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been working at a five-star pet resort in the Dulles area for several years now; therefore, I’ve had experience with all kinds of pets and behaviors. I have classes on my college campus Monday through Thursday, work at the pet resort on Fridays, so I’m only really available on the weekends at the moment. I can spend time with your pet indoors or outdoors depending on what you prefer. If we’re outside, I have a really long leash so your pet can run around and play, but remain safe.

“Hanieh is absolutely amazing!! Casper got soo much attention & loving from her that he took himself to bed when he got home😂 He immediately felt comfortable with her which was a huge relief. Casper will definitely be spending more time regularly with Hanieh!”
About: I have been caring for animals since 2018 and have experience working at multiple dog boarding facilities. At one facility, I worked for over six years, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, supervising playtime, and ensuring dogs feel safe and comfortable in a structured environment. I also have personal experience caring for senior dogs, which has helped me develop patience and attentiveness to animals with special needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets, and I understand the importance of providing gentle, calm care for small animals. My schedule is flexible, and I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and small animal care throughout the week. I am available during weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every animal receives the time and attention they deserve. The safety and well-being of every animal in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, quiet environment and always supervise animals closely during my care. I am attentive to details such as feeding instructions, medications (if needed), and safe handling. I also make sure pets are kept in a clean, secure space and follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.
About: I started dog sitting for neighbors when we lost our dog in 2013 and we really missed our Lab, Bailey. We adopted a lab mix about 4 years ago, who gets along well with dogs that visit. We have a good amount of experience and about 5 regular clients who come back again and again. I have one teenager at home who also can help. We have a pretty good set up with a cabinet for dog food, drawer for doggie medicines and a place to hang leashes. We have a big deck and fenced yard, so dogs often lie in the sun on our deck. Come visit! I work from home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. So dogs are never alone for long. I walk dogs twice a day at least and play in the yard sometimes. I hade a fenced yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Very little traffic and very friendly neighbors. We have woods around as well so dogs love it.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my calm, patient, and gentle approach to each dog. I pay close attention to their body language, needs, and comfort. I'm especially good with puppies who need gentle guidance and basic training, as well as with older dogs who require more leisurely walks, extra care, and a loving, comforting presence. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with the same kindness, respect, and affection I would want for my own. I recently moved and have free time since I have online classes during the week on alternate schedules, so I have time to play with your little ones and shower them with warmth and attention. Within my family, three of them are a furry friend named Balu who is 7 years old, a cat named Copito who is 6 years old, and a kitten named Lucas who is 5 years old. I am used to taking care of them and keeping them under constant supervision, not only in their diet but also in their physical and emotional well-being.
“LaurieBeth did such a wonderful job with my pup, Mocha! I dropped off Mocha for doggy day care for the first time and I so appreciated the photo updates to see how she was doing. LaurieBeth was very communicative and Mocha enjoyed her stay. We already can't wait for the next visit!”
“Ana is very kind and flexible with her schedule. She was able to watch my puppy last minute and he had the best time. He always comes back tired from all the fun! He loves playing with her dog Pluto and she is very easy to get ahold of. I always trust my puppy to have a great time. Super thankful to have found someone near me who provides a safe and fun place for my puppy to be during the day.”
“Mandana did an amazing job with our very energetic doberman pup! When we picked him up it was obvious he had a great time. Highly recommend Mandana; she’s very friendly and did a great job taking care of the pup (including walks/feeding). We will definitely be back!!”
“It was my first time dropping of my 14 week old Samoyed and I was so nervous! Tom is wonderful and very accommodating with the drop off/pick up times. More importantly, Enzo was a very happy camper and enjoyed his stay with Tom. Will definitely ask Tom to watch Enzo again!”
“Jennifer hosted our dog for doggy daycare. He had an absolute blast and became best friends with her and her lovely dog Sunny. Jennifer sent cute pictures and great, detailed updates. Our dog can’t wait to return!”
“Karen is great. She uploaded photos of my dog Clio. She was very accommodating when I had to move my boarding date. She took care of my dog even though she was in heat. She kept me updated on Clio during her daycare visit.”

About: I have been around pets my entire life. I have been taking care of neighbors and friends pets while they are away since childhood and have been a proud pet owner since adulthood. I would love to provide a positive and fun experience for your pet while you are away! I am a teacher but am preparing to go on summer break. I will have lots of free time to ensure that your pet receives copious amounts of love and attention. I always try to make sure that I follow any guidelines set by the owner. I make sure to give them multiple walks and feedings a day, and plenty of 1 on 1 play time and attention.
“Phil and Amanda are amazing. Our two pugs can be skittish around other dogs and Phil and Amanda paired them with the perfect duo to help them get more comfortable. They took them on numerous walks and even let them snuggle in bed on an early morning drop off. I can’t recommend them more and I’ll use them again when we come to town.”
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Over the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with rescue organizations, fostering puppies as young as 1–2 weeks old. This has involved full-time care- feeding, socialization, basic training, and monitoring their health - until they are ready for their forever homes. Because I’ve cared for so many dogs at different stages of life, I’m very attentive to routines, diet needs, medical instructions, and behavior changes. I’m calm, patient, and confident handling shy, energetic, or anxious dogs, and I make sure each pet feels secure and comfortable from the moment they arrive. Safety and communication are extremely important to me. I follow owners’ instructions closely, maintain a clean and structured environment, and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. Whether it's a puppy, an adult dog, or a senior with special needs, I’m committed to giving every animal the same level of care and consistency I give my own. My wife (a full-time homemaker) and I ensure that your furry family member is never left alone while staying with us. One of us is always home, providing constant supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their visit. Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced, secure play area and 2–3 walks per day. We live on 2 acres of land with plenty of open space for safe exploration and exercise, along with an 11,000 sq. ft. home that provides ample room for your pet to relax and feel comfortable.

“Tom and Cynthia have been extremely helpful when we’ve needed a last minute dog walker. Tom is fast at responding, which I appreciate. I can tell he takes good care of our dog :)”
About: Since I was little I always have had a love for dogs. I used to walk to my neighbors house and ask to walk their dog, because I of how bad I wanted one. Once I got my dog, I feel in love right way. I love and know how to care for dogs of all sizes, and needs! I'm free all days of the week! Right now I am taking a NOVA summer class to get ahead, so I will need to allocate some time to that. But my class will end after the first week of July. I have a fenced backyard, so I let my dog go out when he wants while also watching him. Also my dog is very calm, and doesn't run off. So When he wants to sit in the front yard, I let him off the leash but I stay outside to make sure nothing happens.
“Brianna has been great with my dog Taz. She is always on time and makes sure he is taken care of. I’ve had to contact her last minute and always responds with quick response. I highly reccomend using Brianna for any of your dog caring needs.”
“John is excellent with our Cody. He was scared at first and growled at him but John was kind and patient with him. He asked about all of his triggers and how to handle certain situations to make it as stress-free as possible for our boy. ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from 8 weeks to 15 years old. I’ve spent a lot of time with dogs throughout my life, particularly my beagle which was adopted by my family at the young age of 8 weeks. My family has also adopted cats at 4 months of age. I’ve experienced all kinds of shenanigans with animals, including persistent tugging because the dog I’m walking wants to play with someone else’s dog, cleaning up plants my cats knocked over, and mitigating playtime between several dogs. As such, I’m prepared to meet the unique needs of every pet and will be patient through any issues that may arise during a visit. I currently work part time with flexible scheduling, so I can come in at any time between 6am and 11pm to check in on your pet, whether it’s for a walk, refilling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, playing frisbee, or just generally keeping your pet some company while you’re away! I’m always gentle with both my and other peoples pets, and always resort to positive affirmation rather than scolding. I pay close attention to detail and always ensure to make note of the instructions I’m given for each pet. I always make sure all care instructions were met before leaving a visit, even if it takes more time than I’m contracted for.
About: I have had several dogs but do not currently have any pets. I have had to give medicine to dogs and lots of experience with puppy “accidents”. I’m a teacher, so during summer and breaks I have lots of free time. I have two boys, both of whom love animals. They would love to have a pet visit our home. I can only house-sit when I don’t have my children with me, but can board an animal anytime. Important to note that during the school year my Friday availability is evening only. I have a fenced yard. At my home, I can almost guarantee your dog or cat would get to sleep in a child’s bed and be loved like family. At your home, I would respect any rules you have set.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have taken care of my friends and neighbors dogs whenever they need a dog sitter. I also worked at Olde Towne Pet Resort for two years working with both dogs and cats. I also worked at Pender Veterinary Centre for two years, where I administer treatment and care of dogs, cats, and even exotic animals! I just graduated college and haven’t found a full time job yet so I will be able to have my full attention for your pet! :) I love taking the dogs on long walks and know of great trails nearby my house and I also understand that some dogs need time to warm up to new people, so I always make sure to approach them calmly, be patient and help them feel comfortable and safe.
About: Huge lover of dogs and puppies of all sizes and breeds! I grew up with family dogs and fostered dogs throughout college; it was a super rewarding and FUN experience. I’ve dealt with shy dogs, dogs with anxiety and pups as young as 6 weeks. Eventually I adopted my own and I can now say I’ve spent hours on end at dog parks. I am a happy owner of a 5 year old mix named Tucker (DOB: 9/20/17) and 1 year old golden retriever puppy named Skye (DOB: 3/20/22). My fiancé and I as a team will both be responsible for your fur babies so you get 2 dog sitters for the price of 1! We would love to meet, care and play with your pup and I'm sure our dogs will too. Just to note: Tucker is weary with humans and will bark his head off the second he sees a PERSON he doesn’t know... but other than that, he has no problems with other dogs and would love to hang out with yours! My work schedule changes weekly based on my team's attendance that week, but typically I am in the office Mon-Thurs. On days I’m in the office, I’m gone from about 9am–4:30pm. We have a pet cam set up for when we are hosting other dogs so that we are able to monitor them sleeping on the couch all day. If your dog is house-trained and/or crate-trained and is comfortable being in a calm environment, they are welcome to come hang out with Tucker and Skye during the day! As soon as me or my husband are home from work, we’re back to playing, going on walks around the neighborhood, or heading to the dog park. On days I work from home, your pup will get tons of attention. There’s lots of playtime with my dogs and walks throughout the day. We live in a super dog-friendly area with plenty of walking paths and parks, so there’s always something to do. When your dog stays with me you can expect: 1. A team of 2 dog sitters for the price of 1! (my husband & I) 2. Lots of play with our two dogs 2. Walks around the neighborhood 3. Photo updates to show that you’re dog is happy, comfy and settling in okay! A couple things to note: 1. We have 2 dogs in the house currently (your dog must get along with other dogs). Both our dogs are typically low-key and just laze around with us, but they are also always ready to walk and play at all times. 2. We have a (small) fenced patio area out back for them to potty and be outside. They will have plenty of space inside and outside to play with each other, however, since we don't have a full yard, your dog(s) will join ours on our neighborhood walks.
About: I’m a teacher who is looking forward to working with pets! I have had my own dog for 10+ years and have taken care of other dogs as well! Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am also an active dog sitter who lives near Algonkian Park! During the academic school year my availability is a little different, but my summer schedule is very flexible. I love spending time with my own dog and will take her out during various parts of the day if the weather allows. I firmly believe that pets are such important members of the family and giving them all the care and love is priority! When I care for pets, I make sure they are fed, taken outside on their daily walks and have some fun! When going on a walk, I make sure to carry a water, portable water bowl, bags and treats. I also check the temperature and make sure the heat index has not surpassed the recommended temperature for walking dogs. When feeding pets, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule and the amount recommended by their owner. I also check with the dog owner, if the pets have any allergies, medication or other health concerns. I ensure a safe, loving and welcoming space for each pet. My summer days are super flexible. I am also open to do super early walks, or late check-ins for dogs. My schedule during the day is open. I’m also available to housesit during the weekends. I try to update my calendar every two weeks. I treat any pet as my own pet. I ensure that they are comfortable, that they are fed, that they are also having fun and they feel safe. I know changes can sometimes cause pets to become anxious, and I want to ensure that while their human goes on trips, or is away, they are feeling like they are taken care of and feel safe!

“Jill and Sean were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gideon. They graciously agreed to a day trial run, which meant so much to us as we navigate some changes in his life. Since the passing of our older dog, Dino, Gideon has struggled with being separated from us and can become quite anxious at drop-off. Jill and Sean were incredibly patient, flexible, and comforting when Gideon became upset. They took the time to help him settle in and made him feel safe and cared for. Throughout his 7-hour stay, they sent thoughtful updates and photos that reassured us he was adjusting well and receiving lots of attention. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Gideon’s well-being and understood that every dog has unique needs. Their kindness and compassion gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitters. Thank you, Jill and Sean, for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾❤️”
“Our dog has the best time going to Jennifer's house when we go out of town for the weekend. As soon as we pull up to her driveway he immediately knows where he is and gets so excited to go inside and play with her dog. You can tell her and her family are so warm with their pets. We feel good leaving our dog there knowing he is in great hands having the best time. Jennifer always is great about providing daily communication and pictures. We would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pup”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“As always Penny received the best care with Juli! She has a great set-up in her house and fenced in yard that is similar to what Penny is used to so she feels right at home.”
“Andrew and his family took such great care of Ollie while we were away. They truly made him feel like part of their family and spoiled him with treats he loved. Andrew kept us updated all weekend with photos, and it was clear that Ollie was having a wonderful time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands.”
“Kendall is an excellent sitter and took amazing care of our pup. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and has a good time! I would not hesitate to book again and I hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Highly recommend Xinyi! She took incredible care of our dog, Louis. We could tell how comfortable he was with her once we got him home; he was happy and completely free of anxiety. Xinyi sent daily updates and photos, which totally put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation guilt-free. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we go away!”
“Our dogs LOVE staying with Rachel! She has kept them for us several times over the last couple of years and it’s always a positive experience for both us and our two pups, which really helps us enjoy our time away knowing they’re in such good hands. Rachel’s communication is great and she’s even been flexible with us a few times when needed. I really enjoy the picture and video updates during their stay - I can tell they feel right at home and have so much fun with her dogs as well :)”
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)
“This was our first time using Rover.com, and we could not be happier! Evvery expertly guided us through the process - from the meet & greet, to drop off, to daily updates and photos, to a very happy reunion. We knew Ivy was in good hands - getting long walks along the lake, naps in an oversized guest bed, and plenty of cuddles and treats - and as a result, we enjoyed our time away even more. We cannot say enough good things about Evvery and her care. She is amazing!”
“Amanda was very communicative and took great care of my dog for a long weekend! I got regular updates, and he seemed to get along well with Amanda’s dog too. I would happily leave my dog with her again.”
“Phil and Amanda are wonderful, they clearly are passionate about animals. I really appreciate the quality of care they provided. While away, they kept me updated with photos, messages and videos of how Arlo was doing, which went a long way to show me how safe and cared for Arlo was. In the short time they met Arlo, you could see Arlo instantly felt at home like part of their family. They took Arlo out on tons of walks and exercised him regularly. We can’t thank them both enough. We highly recommend Phil & Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible care for their pet, they are a rare find.”
“I was in MD for July 4th celebration and needed to find a dog boarder for one night. I found Dawn through Rover as a last minute choice. Right choice. Dawn was very good with my golden doodle who has separation anxiety. My dog felt right at home and had a very wonderful time.”
“Thank you Johanna for taking such good care of our Rosie. She seems to really enjoyed yourself and to have bonded with you and your sons. We felt very leaving her with you and look forward to maybe getting to use you again. I would highly recommend you for doing such a good job! O”
“Alana is reliable and very flexible with timing, which made scheduling so much easier for us. Our dog was well taken care of, and we really appreciated her responsiveness and attention to detail.”
“Jean was awesome as a dogsitter. He took good care of my Golden. He sent pictures and videos, and walked her daily. Most of all he was friendly and wide open to any request that I had on how to take care of her. I will definitely be bringing my dog back in the future. I feel like we finally have a go-to for a sitter.”
“James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.”
“Grateful to Sujan for taking care of our senior dog with unique needs during the holidays, even making her food when she wouldn't eat. Good communication and appreciated the photos. Thanks again!”
“Kiran has been amazing with my dog Gus! Have never had any issues and he makes sure to send daily updates. He’s also been great with caring for Gus, who is older and has arthritis, and I never worry about Gus while he’s staying with Kiran. He’s a great person to watch and care for your dog!”
“Deborah and Leanne (and Lotus!) took wonderful care of our Vader this past weekend! They were super accommodating and communicative. They sent updates and photos of Vader enjoying his stay. For the holiday, they even dressed him in a festive bandana and treated him to pup cups and puppy ice cream! We will definitely book with their family again.”
