“Thank you Dana for taking such great care of Maya during her lengthy stay with you! Your constant communication and pics gave us peace of mind knowing Maya was doing great, but no surprise since you are the Dog Whisperer!!”
“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”
“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!!!”
“Cori was great with our 3 crazy dogs. We dropped them off with her and family for the day while we hosted a party- she was responsive and provided great updates! Thanks again!!”
“Rebekah watched Jane while I was on a 10 day vacation. Everyday I received photo and video updates on how Jane was doing. It really helped me enjoy my trip knowing she was happy and well cared for. Rebekah is very professional and does an exceptional job!!!”
“Our old pup absolutely loves staying with Julie’s family. She takes wonderful care of him, navigating his picky eating and various joint medications. He comes home so tired - from both the outdoor time and the social interactions, I am sure. I trust Julie completely with his care and will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs as long as she will have us.”
“Heather and her husband are great with pets. They take care of our penny like if was her own. Heather knows what she is doing and she gave us tips on how to train Penny to be on the leash without pulling and they really work for us. She is very helpful, and her house is very good for dogs with a nice fence yard. Definitely Penny will be back.”
“Shelby was great. Very committed to ensuring Nova had everything he needed. Sent multiple updates and even had some dog friends and a great fenced in yard for him to play with/in. Would definitely use again!”
“This was my first time booking with Amber for boarding and she was amazing! Throughout the stay I received multiple pictures and quick responses. I had a delayed flight and she was very flexible and understanding about the situation. Thank you for hosting my dog and treating him like family!”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stephanie is amazing!** Stephanie took care of my dog Max for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure Max felt comfortable and loved the entire time. Her home was clean and safe, and Max came back happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Sadie and Louie were well cared for and I could tell they had a great day. My dogs got along well with sitters’ dogs and her home is large enough where they can find a quiet space to get away and rest. Dogs were taken on a nice walk and out to just potty as needed. Very happy with this sitter.🐾😁👍🏻”
“Cannot recommend Leslie enough! She took such amazing care of Cash. From the moment she met him at the meet and greet thru the stay I’ve never felt more comfortable trusting my pup with someone. Cash loved her spacious back yard, lounging around, and the long walks/runs. She even had a special treat for him since he was staying with her during Christmas. I had to say “Let’s go home” three times because he wasn’t ready to leave. So thankful for Leslie’s attentiveness, communication, and care!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My puppy, Cooper, had the most amazing time he didn’t want to leave! This was our first time using rover and being away from our puppy. Bryan was very attentive in answering and sending pictures. He calmed all my worries about being away from my pup. They were the absolute best. I will definitely rebook in future. Highly recommended!”
“Whitney is amazing! She was so sweet to our high energy dog, took her on lots of walks, spent lots of time outside with her, and even ran with her! We would use her again without hesitation!! Seeing fun pics of our puppy everyday while we were away was so reassuring that she was in great hands!! Thanks Whitney!!”
“Matisa was excellent! We had a last minute boarding request, and she was so flexible and responsive. She sent pictures within the first hour after dropping off our puppy, and continued to for the duration of the stay! She was kind, sweet, friendly, and always kept us up to date.”

“Katie watched our cat and did some house sitting for several days, and she did an amazing job! She sent picture updates that gave me so much peace of mind, and he was clearly happy, playful, and well cared for. She followed all his routines, kept everything tidy, and was great at communicating. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!! 10/10!”
“Makayla was awesome!! This is my first time using Rover but I will surely use her services again. Updated daily on them and pics of three. She did everything I asked and my cats warmed up to her.”
“Ashley is the best person you can have caring for your babies. She went above and beyond for an entire week for my various pets, which included poultry- even in bad weather! I am so grateful to her and highly recommend her for any pets you have.”
About: I had a cat from as young as 12 years old, and my job was the litter box! Of course, taking care of your cat is much more than that. I will be able to give your cat the love and attention it needs.

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.
“Debora was amazing! She took care of our two dogs while we were away overnight and went above and beyond. She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated every visit with photos and notes, which gave us peace of mind the entire time. You can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs she watches. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and caring pet care!”
“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: I have 20+ years of pet experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and more. I am available for dog boarding in my home for multiple dogs. I am comfortable giving medications. I can make multiple visits to your home while you are gone. Let me know what your needs are and we can find a suitable accommodation for your pet. They will be loved like our own. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my children. Most of our days are wide open and I can easily accommodate taking care of other pets. I will look after your pets like I do my own. I will make sure they always have the proper food and water and are never left unattended. I can meet a variety of needs for many different pets.
“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!”

“Our pup had a great day with Marguerite and her girls! He was exhausted and happy when picked him up. He got lots of walks and outdoor time, and even better he got lots of love from the whole family.

About: In our home your dog will receive a lot of love from our family and companionship from our two dogs. We have a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog. They are both 3 years old. We have bred each of them once and are used to having small puppies around. We have a large, fenced backyard for your dog to play safely. Your dog will be part of the family during their stay. We will take them on daily walks and will receive lots of cuddles. Besides intermittent outings, I will be home with your dog, the whole time. I have had dogs for many years, but I have dog sat dogs for the last two years. Your dog will be a part of our family. I homeschool my children and so we are home most of the time. We do have outings but are usually back within 4 hours. I can usually accommodate our schedule if your pet needs care more often than that, if I know in advance. I have a fenced back yard and two dogs of my own. I can also crate the dogs or separate the different areas of the house if there are any safety concerns.
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.

About: *** I wanted to let everyone know that I’ve made the difficult decision to step away from dog sitting through Rover for the remainder of 2026 as I navigate some significant personal life changes. I deeply appreciate all of the support, trust, and loyalty from my clients and their beloved pets over the years. Thank you for everything. ❤️ *** Animals—especially dogs—are my passion! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting and grooming dogs, and have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and sizes in my home since I was very young. I have always been particularly passionate about caring for and working with dogs. I am the proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, who I enjoy training in behavior and agility. If you're in need of someone who is loving, patient and trustworthy to look after your dog(s), please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your beloved fur babies, and promise to love them like they’re my own while you’re away. *I have experience working as a dog groomer—I offer bathing services at an additional cost! Feel free to ask.* I currently work remotely full time, so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide attentive care to your dog(s). I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly Australian Shepherds to keep your dog company. Your dog will have as much supervised outside play time as they would like, and will have free roam of the main floor of my house at other times. If you prefer your pet to be crated at times, just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to accommodate. ***Note: to avoid stomach upset/any allergic reactions, dogs in my care will ONLY be given food and/or treats supplied and approved by their owner. Additionally, to help protect my family, home and other dogs in my care, I ask that owners please ensure their dogs are up to date with flea/tick/worm preventative. If parasites are found, a $100 cleaning fee will apply.***

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs on a farm, apartment, townhouse, etc. I have experience with many different personalities, energy levels, and breed needs I currently have two dogs of my own, a great pyrenees and a golden retriever. I’ve also worked at a veterinary clinic as a vet tech, gaining additional experiences with animal care, health needs, and proper handling. I beleive no dog should be judged by their breed or put under a general label. I focus on their body language and individual personalities, while still addressing breed needs. I currently am working 32-40 hours a week that gives me a certain level of flexibility to match your schedule. I receive my schedule every Saturday, two weeks posted at a time. I will give full transparency if there are any schedule conflicts. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, they’re your family!

I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, health, and surroundings, making sure they’re safe and comfortable both inside the home and in outdoor spaces. I keep information on local vets and emergency clinics on my phone. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own!

If our dogs got along we could potentially plan on having your pet come stay with us for a week/weekend! Additionally, we do have enough space (2 level home), a crate, and a fenced in yard so we can accommodate having another dog who does not get along with other dogs.

Whether I am offering daily walks, pet sitting, or grooming services, I am committed to providing compassionate, attentive, and reliable care that respects the pet’s routine and comforts, ensuring they feel happy and secure in my care.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. 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

“Thank you Dana for taking such great care of Maya during her lengthy stay with you! Your constant communication and pics gave us peace of mind knowing Maya was doing great, but no surprise since you are the Dog Whisperer!!”
“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”
“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!!!”
“Cori was great with our 3 crazy dogs. We dropped them off with her and family for the day while we hosted a party- she was responsive and provided great updates! Thanks again!!”
“Rebekah watched Jane while I was on a 10 day vacation. Everyday I received photo and video updates on how Jane was doing. It really helped me enjoy my trip knowing she was happy and well cared for. Rebekah is very professional and does an exceptional job!!!”
“Our old pup absolutely loves staying with Julie’s family. She takes wonderful care of him, navigating his picky eating and various joint medications. He comes home so tired - from both the outdoor time and the social interactions, I am sure. I trust Julie completely with his care and will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs as long as she will have us.”
“Heather and her husband are great with pets. They take care of our penny like if was her own. Heather knows what she is doing and she gave us tips on how to train Penny to be on the leash without pulling and they really work for us. She is very helpful, and her house is very good for dogs with a nice fence yard. Definitely Penny will be back.”
“Shelby was great. Very committed to ensuring Nova had everything he needed. Sent multiple updates and even had some dog friends and a great fenced in yard for him to play with/in. Would definitely use again!”
“Cannot recommend Leslie enough! She took such amazing care of Cash. From the moment she met him at the meet and greet thru the stay I’ve never felt more comfortable trusting my pup with someone. Cash loved her spacious back yard, lounging around, and the long walks/runs. She even had a special treat for him since he was staying with her during Christmas. I had to say “Let’s go home” three times because he wasn’t ready to leave. So thankful for Leslie’s attentiveness, communication, and care!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My puppy, Cooper, had the most amazing time he didn’t want to leave! This was our first time using rover and being away from our puppy. Bryan was very attentive in answering and sending pictures. He calmed all my worries about being away from my pup. They were the absolute best. I will definitely rebook in future. Highly recommended!”
“Whitney is amazing! She was so sweet to our high energy dog, took her on lots of walks, spent lots of time outside with her, and even ran with her! We would use her again without hesitation!! Seeing fun pics of our puppy everyday while we were away was so reassuring that she was in great hands!! Thanks Whitney!!”
“Matisa was excellent! We had a last minute boarding request, and she was so flexible and responsive. She sent pictures within the first hour after dropping off our puppy, and continued to for the duration of the stay! She was kind, sweet, friendly, and always kept us up to date.”
“Nathan is phenomenal! His drop-off and pick-up procedures are highly efficient! It allowed our big baby to transition with ease! He is attentive and provides updates based on personal preferences. Our circumstances were slightly different. He recognized our overall concern (our pup spent Christmas Day in Urgent Care!) and took a proactive approach sharing regular updates. Clyde adjusts easily with Nathan! He thoroughly enjoys the other fur friends and the spoiling he receives!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”
“Magda and Chris were amazing. So kind and caring with Mogi. Magda sent me regular check ins that showed how comfortable Mogi was with them. It was great knowing that Mogi was safe and happy during my weekend away.”
