“Thank you so much for taking great care of Ahsoka. She was immediately comfortable with you and at your home. We really appreciate the pics you send while we are gone. We will definitely book again.”
“We recently moved to NOVA from Midlothian and had to find a new Rover Ally to watch our 2 sweet Goldens- We used someone who lived in the same town and it did not go well at all so we were very nervous about leaving them again with anyone else. I can hands down say this was one of our best Rover experiences ever!! Joel and Janelle have a beautiful place with a large grassy fenced yard! They sent periodic incredible “action” pictures and our Goldens did not seemed stressed at all when we picked them up. We are looking forward to our stay with them early next month.”
“Top notch care taker. Alexsys cares about what she is doing and is confident with handling all types of dogs. The communication, photos and videos she provider were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her and will be definitely booking again!”
“Walter G. and his loving family ? were very Wonderful! Our Beagle dog “Wrangler” felt comfortable immediately at their home. Walter and his family was very understanding and caring towards him. Our dog can be very shy sometimes and yet he seemed to really warm up to the family very quickly. Inclusive, one of his little girl’s got so adorably attached, that it was so heart warming to see her shed a couple of tears ☺️ We truly highly recommend Walter G. and his family. He will most certainly be on our top list for boarding and care and we will most certainly be honored to have them take care of our boy again.”
“Gabby is amazing! She accommodated our baby super last minute and saved a very important trip for our family. She’s extremely responsive, keeps you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and it’s very obvious that her entire family is full of animal lovers. They spoiled our big rambunctious Cane Corso puppy more than we could have wished for in a sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely use again! Thank you, Gabby and family!”
“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“We always feel reassured that our pup is taken care of and they’re happy to have her. Daisy is treated like the princess she is. I highly recommend their family to watch your beloved pets.”
“Yzabella and her family took AMAZING care of Louie. She was so responsive and sent many photos and videos. I knew he was in great, caring hands. We will absolutely be using her services again very soon 😊”
“We left our dog with Jessica for the weekend. She took great care of her & updated us with pics & videos . We will be booking with her again & highly recommend her !”
“Barbara was one of the best hosts I’ve ever booked. She’s so kind, incredibly experienced with a variety of breeds, and has amazing intuition when it comes to meeting your pup’s needs. She sends lots of fun photos and videos and I was so comforted by the fact that I knew my darling dog was having a blast and was in great hands. I can’t wait to rebook!”
“Kalley was a fantastic pet sitter. She took such great care of my pup, and treated him as though he were one of their own. Highly, highly recommended if you are looking for a caring, positive environment for your pet while you are away. She sent pictures nearly every day with updates on how he was doing. Thank you Kalley! We will definitely reach out to you next time we have a need for pet sitting! ?”

“Chris and his family are always so kind and awesome. This is the fourth time we've left our snuggle baby with them, and he always feels like he's at his own home and is so happy staying with them. Thank you once again, Chris, Carla, and Bob, for taking care of our boy like always. We will miss you guys but will keep in touch and will leave our snuggle with you, even though you are moving to a new place soon.”
“Perfect family for Ace..He loves children ..Charity is very caring and was very understanding when I had a medical emergency and had my sister pick him up when I was in the hospital..The best”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“This was Dexter's second stay with Linda. As soon as we got to the house he ran into the backyard and never looked back. It was great knowing that Dexter was in a loving home and had the opportunity to play with lots of dogs while we were away. Thanks Linda!”

“We were totally delighted with Jennifer's care of our two cats. She was communicative, responsible and available if I had a question or needed to reach her. We will definitely use her again when we need a pet sitter. She also watered my new outdoor plants which is so helpful during the spring season.”
“So very pleased with Melissa. She checked in daily on Sammy and always sent photos and a detailed — often humorous— update on how he was and what he was doing. I will definitely hire Melissa again and highly recommend her.”
“Sonja was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with her and her pups. I can tell Zoe had a wonderful time playing with Sonja's dogs in her beautiful home and yard. I would have no hesitation leaving Zoe with her again!”
About: I've always loved animals, they have been my weak spot for as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals in house. I have also taken care of friends and family's animals including cats, dogs, fish, goats, chickens, and ducks. I currently have 3 dogs ranging from 35lbs-80lbs, a horse, and chickens! I love coming home to my animals being excited to see me, in my opinion it is one of the best feelings!
“Stephanie is a wonderful pet sitter as well as a delightful person. After our “meet and greet” and felt completely comfortable with her as a pet and house sitter. She took perfect care of our cat and our home! We highly recommend her and plan to use her (if she’s available) every time we go away! A perfect experience!! Bob and Susan B.”
“Our first Rover experience, and no problems at all. Our two boys were fed while we were away, and when we got back, there were the correct number of toes, tails and ears. Thank you, Ginny!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Courtney! I accidentally booked the wrong weekend for our cat care, and as soon as I realized the mistake and contacted her, she immediately offered to head right over to take care of my kitty. That level of kindness, flexibility, and reliability meant so much to me, especially while traveling over a holiday weekend. She stayed for at least a full hour each visit, sent tons of photos and detailed updates every day, and clearly spent quality time making sure my cat was comfortable and cared for. The updates really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing my kitty was in such good hands. I truly appreciated her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care for animals. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Lexi made 3 drop-in visits to check on our cats Ashes and Whiskers. She visited once before we left to see to all the arrangements and then reported on her visits during the drop-ins. Great communicator and pet care provider! Two thumbs up.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Cynthia, she is absolutely amazing. She took great care of my cats and fish including one cat who requires insulin. She went above and beyond again when I asked to extend my trip, then continued to help after I got sick and had to delay it again.”
About: I love animals Have always had an animal in my life. Not sure if I would function without one. Looking forward to caring for other animals. I currently have open availability. Not currently working outside of my home. Looking forward to helping others with their pets and making them feel comfortable being away from them Prefer to car for pets in your home.

“Maggie was very thorough with her check ins on our cats. She sent us updates each time with tons of incredible photos. We really appreciate her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, small animals (like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters), and even large animals. Whether it’s daily care, feeding routines, exercise, or just companionship, I’m comfortable and confident in providing attentive and loving care tailored to each animal’s needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments—puppies and kittens, energetic adult pets, and seniors who need a little extra patience and support. I’ve also worked with animals that have special needs, such as those requiring medication, specific diets, or behavioral understanding. From walking dogs to mucking stalls, from playtime with curious cats to maintaining proper enclosures for small animals—I treat every animal with the same level of compassion, respect, and responsibility as if they were my own. As a part-time pet sitter, I’m available mornings and evenings during the week, and have open availability on weekends. This schedule allows me to provide dependable care around your pet’s routine—whether that’s early morning walks, breakfast and dinner feedings, or evening check-ins for some companionship and play. On weekends, I’m fully available for more extended visits, drop-ins, walks, or boarding if needed. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in your absence. Even with a part-time schedule, your pet will receive focused attention, affection, and reliable care every time I visit. At my home, your dog will have plenty of room to run! We live on 45+/- acres and my dog will be happy to run with yours and give them a tour of the farm! Whether your pet is in care at my home or yours, I will send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I’ll reach out with any questions or concerns.
About: I've grown up around pets all my life. Fun, caring, and loving of all animals. I've owned small and big dogs and enjoyed them all. I've enjoyed training dogs basic commands and exercising them. I work full-time, however I do have evenings, weekends, school breaks, and summer time availability. I'm willing to work with the client to better meet their needs. I own a wide open 3 acre lot that provides excellent exercising possibilities. I'm not near a major road which allows my own dogs the freedom to run. I have older kids and a wife that have the same love and compassion for animals.

“Alexsys is absolutely amazing and super sweet!! I had a last minute booking that she was able to take!! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day showing how much of a good time my Rheya had!! I also LOVE that she was able to play with some other furry friends and had a back yard to get her zoomies out! 100% will be booking with her again!!”
“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
“Gabby was exceptional taking care my dog, Luna! It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and using Rover and she made the experience so much easier. She loved on my pup and sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout her overnight stay. Gabby is professional, friendly, and caring towards the pup and their human. I needed some handholding and she was super kind. I’d recommend Gabby any time!”
“Shaghayegh made Tucker feel right at home. He went into her house happy and excited. I received photos of their walk. I’m happy and I highly recommend Shaghayegh.”

I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet in my day and I can even stay with your pet for the day while taking my classes with them sitting by my side.

About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I'm passionate about keeping them happy and active with fun walks. I also have experience managing multiple dogs on walks.

As well as giving them ample food and water in the mornings and evenings. And of course we can talk more about how I can better take care of your pup.
“Lauren was amazing with our two pups! She clearly cared about making sure they got what they needed while enforcing boundaries which we appreciated. She sent lots of photos and it was clear that our pups had a blast. Thank you!”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com so we were a little apprehensive. Linda made that first time experience wonderful. Words cannot describe how pleased we were with response, friendliness and most of all the care our fur baby received. Would recommend her service without hesitation.”
“Let me start by saying that I’m a dog lover to the extreme so finding someone to watch my babies was a tough decision. Specially a stranger that I don’t know. From the first second me and Kodiak stepped foot in May and her husbands house I felt at ease. You can tell they love animals. My Kodiak is a rescue and a husky so he’s stubborn and not really trained yet being that I’ve only had him for a few days but May didn’t mind of him jumping all over her. I am so happy I came across her and him on rover. If i could give a 10000000 star rating I would. Thanks so much both of you for the best dog sitter experience. Kodiak loves y’all.”
“Tori is a great person and you can tell loves animals. My spoiled dogs hate to be away from us , but Tori made them comfortable and gave them tons of love with time to run off the zoomies. Thank you for caring for my lugs. I would definitely recommend Tori.”
About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
“Haejin & Herscel were wondering caretakers! They were open to taking my dog for daycare a few days before and treated her so well. I liked that they only take a few dogs a day to reduce exposure and ensure they are all being watched. I loved the occasional photo and video updates, which her other daycare doesn't do it all. She came home very tired from playing all day, which was exactly what we wanted. I look forward to using them again!”
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”

“Lisette is WONDERFUL and her family is also so nice. She was very friendly and lovable, super communicative, helpful, and also flexible. She took great care of my dog and sent photos throughout the day, and he was really happy and relaxed (and in no hurry to leave) when I came to pick him up so I know he loved being there! I definitely recommend her and will send my dog there again anytime she's available!”

I would love to include more animals in my life by helping you take care of yours from drop-in visits, dog walking and more!

My goal is to make sure that your dog is fully sated from our walk so that when you get home you have a relaxed doggie! Having had more than one dog of my own in the past I am experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time, so if you have 2 or more dogs that need daily walks I am up for it!

“Briana and Jeremy were great as always. Penny and Dex felt right at home and had a staycation while we went to a wedding. Thanks you guys for taking such good care of our pups!”
“I had to leave on a business and Lisette was able to look after my cat Ogden. Communication was quick and simple, and Lisette was very accommodating . I have no problem recommending this sitter.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“I can't say enough wonderful things. Katherine very appropriately vetted my dog to make sure he would be a good match with other dogs prior to agreeingto have our guys stay for a week. She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the week putting my mind at ease that everything was going well. The space is wonderful with lots of room and he came back home exhausted from playing with new friends. Our dog did not come home with any issues picked up from a new environment or new dogs. This was an absolutely wonderful experience and I have full trust in leaving our dog with Katherine.”
“Charlie was wonderful as always. I never worry about my pup when she stays with him. Shes very much a baby, and im grateful he takes such good care of her! Whenever I say, do you want to go to Charlie's? She runs to the car. I feel relieved that she is so comfortable with him and that he takes such great care of her.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I fostered a dog for five months, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to help a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I have also spent years pet sitting for family and friends while they were away, providing reliable care, daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication when needed, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to make each pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer routine, I will treat them like they are my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have cared for dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's regular routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel secure. I also believe in regular communication and am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Rocky was terrific watching our sweet Zoe! Taking her on walks, the beach and even inviting her to watch a playoff football game with him (she is an Eagles fan). We could tell by the pictures and video he shared that we were not missed. We truly appreciate his kindness and care. He is Highly Recommended! From Zoe: “Thank you, Rocky, for taking such good care of me!” Steve & Teena.”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“Jennifer was great and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their dog well taken care of. She provided constant updates, gave him lots of play time, and sent plenty of pictures of him having a blast while I was away. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Abby has watched our dog Rocky several times and has always done a wonderful job! Rocky is a rescue, and a terrier, and she let him take his own time getting to know her and her 2 dobie's (both great). This last time presented some unusual challenges, and Abby went above and beyond to make sure Rocky felt safe with her and that we could continue our vacation. She has always communicated well, and has been fantastic with all of her care. I would highly recommend her for your pet!! I can't say it enough. She's great.”
“Ashley was super reliable and helpful. My dog had a weird issue which she handled professionally and responsibly. My dog loved playing here with all the other pups and didn't seem to miss me at all for most of it!”
