“Cameron was great with our dog! She was able to accommodate us with short notice and attend to the special needs of our pup. Our dog had lots of play and attention. We would definitely recommend!”
“Emmanuel was wonderful , and caring with Louie. Louie came home better behaved and calmer. I will certainly take Louie to stay again He came home so happy Thank you!”
“Wonderful family, and very nice home. Kona is a very anxious dog and she settled down immediately and had an amazing time. Stacy gave me several updates every day and will absolutely reach out to her in the future”
“Chelsea-Jo and her family were great to Coco. We had a great first experience with Rover. She was available last minute when our original sitter cancelled on the night we were to leave town for a Funeral. Her house was clean and her and her husband were super friendly! She updated me many times, including pictures, on how Coco was doing. From the photos, they played with her and she was happy and treated as she was one of their own. I would highly recommend using Chelsea-Jo and will definitely see if she’s available in the future when we need a sitter.”
“Helen watched our 7 month old puppy and provided excellent care for her. She walked her and took her to a dog park. Even when our pup got a little anxious, Helen graciously cared for her and kept us informed. Helen made us feel comfortable with our first Rover experience and Millie's first night away from us. Thank you Helen!”
“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
“This was our dog's first stay with Jona, and a long one (three weeks). She was a great communicator, sending regular updates and photos about all activities, as well as quickly responding to our questions. Nike clearly had a great time and was returned in great shape (an odd thing to say, perhaps, but bad things can happen in this business). We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Sophie is so pampered with Meghan and Irene. She is older and they carry her up and down stairs to keep her safe. They fight over who is going to get to sleep next to her. They show as much love for Sophie as they do for their own dogs. Sophie is always happy to arrive at their house.”
“This was our first time ever using a sitter, and Carlos put us at ease right off the bat during the initial meeting. He was receptive to our concerns (our dog is 12), and let us know that our dog was in good hands. During our dog’s 4-day stay with Carlos, we got numerous updates during each day with pictures and summaries. Our dog looked so happy to be with Carlos and Sasha! Carlos was also willing to accommodate a late pickup on the final day due to flight issues, which we really appreciated. He even wrote us a very sweet and heartfelt message thanking us for entrusting our dog to his care. I can’t recommend Carlos enough, and we will definitely be back if we need a sitter in the future.”
“This is my pets second time and he does so well with Kelly. My Shih Tzu is very anxious and skiddesh and Kelly handles him with gentle care! I recommend Kelly to everyone!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Would definitely book with Kevin and Dakota again. My Newfie is really shy and skittish around other dogs. After his first day with Kevin and Dakota, he came out of his shell and and was hanging “with the boys”.”
“Scarlet is always so happy staying with Dan! She loves exploring his backyard, and hanging out with him or a daughter on the couch. Dan is also flexible and easy to work with when changes happen to your travel that you can't control. I always check with Dan first when I need boarding for my four-legged kid!”
“Katie and her adorable family took such great care of our little girl. She communicated with us regularly, and took her on long walks every day. We will definitely be leaving our pup with her again. This was our first experience with Rover and we were relieved that it worked out great. So much better than the commercial boarding places in the area.”

“Lenny checked in with our two cats once a day for 2 weeks and we are so thankful for her. The girls seemed relaxed, well taken care of and happy when we got home. One day seemed a little tough on them and Lenny stayed way past her time to show them the love they needed. She kept us updated on everything and send lots of pictures which was much appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Eve has done four drop-in visits in the past few months for my cats. I can always count on her to give them the food and pets they need! My cats usually hide but always greet Eve and love all the pets she gives them. Eve is definitely my go to cat sitter!”
“This was our second trip with Sarah. She is reliable, she goes above and beyond, and you can tell she loves animals. We feel so grateful to have her to look after our cat when we’re out of town.”
“Stephanie was phenomenal with my 2 cats, who can both be a little sassy in their own ways. She found all their favourites and had them waiting at the door for her visits within a couple of days. Would 100% recommend Stephanie to take care of your furry friends!”
“Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.”
About: I have taken care of at least 10 different cats, including a siamese with cancer, a polydactyl, male cats with kidney and bladder stones, cats with separation anxiety and who need pills or medication administered. I love cats more than anything and let my two cats roam all around my house because my space is their space.
“Rachel has absolutely earned her stellar reputation! She worked with us to ensure she could take care of our cats. We were totally confident in her ability and she gave us so much peace of mind. I would recommend Rachel to anyone that has animals, she is competent, confident and willing!”
“Sarah was fabulous as a drop in sitter for my cat while I was on vacation. She took pictures and gave me details about how my cat was doing while she was there. She was also very prompt with messaging before, during, and after the booking.”
“Claudia did a fantastic job for taking care of my cat Bobbie during my five weeks away from home. She showed up on time and fed and cared for the cat as scheduled. She took the cuttest pictures and filed a report every day. I have never been away from my cat for so long and was apprehensive about the change of routines but Bobbie was well-fed and cared for as if nothing has happened when I returned. Claudia is a sweetest person and very responsive and accommodating. I am sure her training as vet assistant is instrumental in helping Bobbie making the adjustment. I cannot thank her enough and will definitely ask for her next time I am away.”
“Wyneta was the best! I had to leave town for the holidays and left my two cats behind. I was nervous to ask someone to help me on Christmas, but luckily for my fur babies and I, she was available. She was very thorough and kept me updated constantly. She even made them some salmon to add to their meals :) I highly recommend her for dog or cat needs”
“Katie is the best! She’s always excellent at communicating and being thorough, and I know my cats are always in the best care when she’s their sitter. Cannot recommend enough!”
About: I first got my son two years ago as a kitten. He not has recently just turned two. We are also fostering a mom who we weren’t aware was pregnant and gave birth to 4 beautiful kittens who are all living their best lives. I have additional experience by working with many different cats at my job all with different personalities, spicy ones, sweet ones, cats who no longer hear or see, seniors and kittens.

About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!
About: I have always been a dog lover and love to provide a fun comfortable loving environment for all pups! I have experience with all size and breeds! I love everything from chase and running around together to chillin and giving cuddles! I will make sure while you are away from your pet that you always feel at ease knowing they will be in great hands! Currently I am at home full time so any time you need me I am there. I would just prefer a 2-3 heads up! I can help weekends as needed as well! I will make sure your pet feels right at home while they are away. Nurturing to your pets needs always and accommodating any way that makes them feel comfortable!
“Awesome experience! Jason and Jeremy were wonderful and gave us piece of mind that our dog was having a great time as opposed to being locked up in a kennel all day. Thank you!”
“Hyun took great care of Coco. She sent me lots of photos. I can tell she's a very experienced dog sitter especially with small breeds. I wouldn't hesitate to schedule another day with her.”
“Our dog's stay with Katie was great! I really appreciated how she took the time to get to know his quirks and habits, and he was very well taken care of. You can tell that she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: Hello I'm a fellow dog owner. My Charlie is a 30 pound sheltie mix and gets along with everyone. He's super friendly so he'll get along with your dog. I work from home two days out of the week and I'm available on weekends for doggy daycare where they'll play in the backyard, get walks, I'll make sure they eat, and get enough water. I can do over night any day of the week as well. The days I work from home are Tuesdays and Fridays. If you have questions please feel free to ask. I'm very accommodating but obviously I do have concerns. I have two crates and two beds on my own they can used so you don't have to bring your own.
“Russ and Andra are excellent dog sitters! They are very reliable and treat our dog like one of their own. They always send cute pictures and videos of our pup running around, playing, and relaxing. Our pup Twyla has the best time when she visits Russ and Andra!”
“Just overwhelmed by the kindness, I genuinely was scared to leave my fur baby alone for the first time with someone new but Matthew made the process simple, kept me updated, and made arrangements with us that worked even tho it was last minute. 100/10”
“Megha and Irene were amazing! They sent us photos of Trixie and she seemed very happy. Thanks again both of you - for making my T feel at home and giving me peace of mind!!”
“Christin took such wonderful care of Vinny! We received regular updates with messages and photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Vinny was clearly so happy and comfortable with her — they went on walks, and she was flexible with a later evening pickup. When we got him back, he was calm and relaxed, which is not something we experience very often. It was clear he felt safe, cared for, and truly enjoyed his time with Christin. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care.”
“Jenny did a wonderful job of taking care of Ringo. She is incredibly conscientious and caring. She pays attention to her charges and made provided pictures and updates on Ringo’s stay. Will be using in the future as well.”

“Lenny did a great job taking our 2 Great Danes on daily walks. The girls really like her and were very excited when she arrived every day. It is apparent how much Lenny likes animals and her enthusiasm and care for them really shows.”
About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days!

About: Hi! My name is Sarah. I grew up taking care of our family dog, rabbit, guinea pigs and fish. I feel comfortable and confident walking/caring for all different sizes and ages of dogs due to previously working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in the NOVA area during 2016-2017. During that year, I was also was responsible for overnight stays, and day time cat visits. My primary experience with pet care since that time has been taking care of my own dog (his name is Rudy, he is a toy poodle who has been the best friend we could dream of for almost 10 years and counting). I am in the medical field and am currently in between jobs, which allows my schedule to be flexible. I am available every weekday (and most weekends). For house sitting, I will keep to your desired schedule as my Rover schedule allows (as I will likely need to leave a few times during the day for other pet visits). I am comfortable staying overnight in your home. For dog walking, your dog’s safety is my top priority. I will avoid other dogs and if walking 2 dogs at the same time, I use a waist leash. I prefer to use a harness and non-retractable leashes (when available). Before or after their walk, we can also play fetch/play with toys inside or outside (if you have a fenced in yard). For cat visits, I am happy to clean their litter boxes, feed them, and play with them inside your home (only if they are interested, of course!) For either dogs or cats, I am able to administer oral or injectable medication if needed.
About: I have taken care of and trained both senior dogs and puppies, additionally i have 2 dogs of my own, along with 2 cats, a boy and a girl, who have bladder stones and separation anxiety respectively. I can administer pills to all pets along with oral shots and antibiotics. I am available all day everyday, willing to stay over night, can work weekends and holidays, and i am always available. Whenever you need a pet sitter i will have time for your pets! I can play with your pets, feed them, take them for walks and outside whenever necessary, spend lots of time with them so they’re not lonely, and make sure they are happy even when i’m not there. I am good at following clients schedules and specific routines, as some pets won’t eat unless everything goes according to the routine!
About: I have taken care of and fully trained high drive dogs since I was 12. I have experience with German pointers and Dobermans. I am able to provide whatever it may be to give your pet comfortability. I am home 24/7 do I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am also extremely active so trust your pet will be worn out and receive plenty of enrichment. I have a huge fully fenced yard, and a personal kennel big enough for a Great Dane. I am also able to drive and fit your pet in my car. I am also able to play with your pet within your home and do more as needed.
About: I’ve always had dogs since I was a little girl. I would love your fur baby as my own. I will take good care of your fur babies they will be in good hands I have a full-time job and I work from home so your fur baby would never be left alone. We will go on walks and I will give your fur baby all the love he or she needs The care I would give your fur baby is lots of love and attention and walks throughout the day if needed, your fur baby will be in good hands and will be loved very much
“Jessica was great - I needed a last minute dog walker to step in and it worked out well! She was very good communicating with me and did well with Izzy! I am planning to work with her again!”
About: With my current job at a pet resort i’ve gained experience caring for dogs of all ages, weight, and personality. Me and my coworkers at work are responsible for taking them out, cleaning up after them, enrichments and taking them out so they can do their business. We’re met with senior dogs who may need to be carried to the cutest puppies entering the teething stage. This is why I believe i am capable of taking great care of your pets. Im currently in college, mondays and tuesdays I am available after 12, Tuesdays and thursdays after 5, and fridays after 12. I am also available on weekends anytime before 2pm. My cat is strictly indoors. He gets taken outside on a harness to be safe.

“We had the pleasure of having Natalie take care of our dog while we were on vacation, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. She was absolutely wonderful with administering our dog's medications, ensuring they were given exactly as prescribed. Natalie also followed our dog's walking and feeding schedule to a tee, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We returned home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since I was very young. Through my former work at a local animal shelter, I gained valuable experience with pets of all species, ages, sizes, and needs. My days are very flexible, so I’m easily able to fit in visits at most times throughout the day. If we schedule recurring visits, I prefer they mostly stay at the same times from week to week. At this time, I am only able to care for your pet in your own home. If you have any questions about my services, please message me. I will do everything possible to accommodate the individual needs of your dog or cat.
“We love Steph! She is super easy going and fun. She takes great care of Charlie and also a ton of really cute photos during her walks. I look forward to the pictures during my work day! Steph is awesome and I highly recommend her to care for your pet. In fact, we have gained a trusted friend thanks to Rover! ?”
About: What sets me apart is my experience as a veterinary assistant, which gives me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and emergency care. I’m confident caring for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies who need training and structure to senior pets requiring gentle handling, medication, or special attention. I prioritize safety, consistency, and love, treating every pet like family. Whether it’s playing with them or just providing a calm, reassuring presence, I’m here to give your pet the best care possible! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’ve built my schedule to make them a priority. As a veterinary assistant, caring for pets is already a big part of my life, and I extend that same dedication to my pet sitting clients. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I plan my day around each pet’s needs to ensure they get consistent, loving attention. I’m usually available weekdays in the afternoon and Friday’s and weekends I’m free pretty much all day to care for your fur babies! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and patience. I will also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away! My goal is to make your pet feel like you’re never gone! :)
“Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!”
