As a new Rover user, I was so relieved and grateful that you were able to accommodate our last-minute boarding request and your flexibility with the drop-off time was truly a lifesaver.

You both clearly went above and beyond, we truly appreciate it. We've found our go-to sitters for sure! We'll absolutely be in touch for all our future out-of-town trips.”
“Kristen and her family took excellent care of my little chihuahua, Ringo. This was my first time leaving him for a full week and I had some anxiety but Kristen sent me photos and videos every day so I could see that my guy was enjoying the same comforts as he does at home (he is definitely an "on the furniture" dog). He got lots of attention and play time. He even slept in her son's bed. Kristen was very flexible with drop off and pick up timing, which is helpful with flights that are not always on time. The surrounding area of her place has lots of nice dog walking areas. Overall, the experience was great, and Kristen is super nice and caring. I will definitely contact her again when I travel.”

She sent me pictures and videos each day showing how well Tokyo was doing and adapting to his new environment. I was immediately put at ease knowing that Tokyo was in a loving environment. Tokyo loved his time there and even began napping on the same schedule as her two other dogs…he really did become a part of their family!! I love that!!! ❤️ She brushed him and kept his eyes clean daily and he even let Nina brush his teeth at night! I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’m so happy 😀. I will definitely use Nina again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have been a dedicated pet parent for the past 13 years. Over the years, I have worked closely with professional trainers and dog behaviorists, gaining valuable knowledge about canine behavior, training, and enrichment. My passion for dogs extends beyond companionship—I genuinely enjoy understanding how they learn and helping them feel confident, safe, and happy. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including providing compassionate support and specialized care during their later years. Having shared my life with dogs through every stage, I understand the importance of treating each pet as an individual and caring for them with patience, attentiveness, and love, just as I would my own family. work from home, which allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the day. I live in a townhouse and ensure dogs receive plenty of exercise and enrichment through two long walks daily, along with multiple shorter walks and potty breaks tailored to each dog's individual needs, energy level, and routine. My flexible schedule enables me to maintain consistency, provide regular supervision, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for during their stay. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of affection, attention, and one-on-one care tailored to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and dietary needs. Whether your pup enjoys active playtime, relaxing companionship, or extra cuddles, I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and at home. To give you peace of mind while you're away, I provide daily updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected and see how much fun your dog is having during their stay.

Communication was consistent the entire time I was away and I can tell the family treated my puppies like they were part of theirs.”
“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”

About: I will treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with dogs most of my life and recently lost a dog-son to a cancer 2 years ago.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 18 years old. My family adopted a new born puppy while I was in college and he is our whole world. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, walk them, and spend quality time playing and keeping them comfortable while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic puppies and older dogs that need extra patience and attention. I always focus on making pets feel safe, cared for, and relaxed in their own environment. I’m also new to the Ashburn area and would love to spend some of my free time getting to know the neighborhood while caring for local dogs. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work fully remote and am home all day, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I take breaks between work tasks to go on walks, work along side with pups and make sure they’re comfortable and happy. It’s easy for me to maintain a consistent schedule and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get potty breaks and walks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with regular feeding, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain consistency with the pet’s normal routine and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.

About: Hi there! I'm Julie. I recently moved back into the Ashburn area after living in Germany for a few years. As a child, my parents always joked that one day when I was grown, I would have Noah's ark at my home. I grew up in the midwest with two dogs, a rabbit, and multiple fish. I quickly became the neighborhood "pet sitter" and loved any furry creature I found. I'm blessed to be able to work from home and my schedule usually allows me to be flexible most days for dog walks and drop-in care.

About: I’m a proud dog mom and lifelong dog lover. I’ve spent over 20 years around dogs, from growing up with small breeds to now raising my own little guy, Simba. I’ve trained him myself, regularly dog-sit for family and friends, and I’m the go-to in my circle for dog advice and tips. I also have young children in the home, so your dog must be comfortable around kids. That said, we always supervise interactions and make sure your pup has space to relax, play, or nap peacefully, whatever makes them feel at home. What makes me different? I treat every dog like I’d want mine to be treated, with care, attention, and a little fun thrown in. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of supervision, play, and outdoor time. Whether they’re high-energy or prefer to lounge in the shade with Simba, I adjust the day to match their vibe. Your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles are built right into my routine. Whether it’s a calm cuddle buddy or an energetic pup, I adjust the schedule to meet their needs. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy space where your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and personalized care throughout the day. Since I work remotely, your pup will never be left alone for long, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and cuddles are all built into our daily rhythm. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine (feeding times, crate use, bedtime preferences, etc.) to help them feel at home. Whether your pup is active and playful or laid-back and cuddly, I adjust the schedule to meet their needs. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.

As someone who tries to maintain a balanced schedule, pet care is something I like to do when I have the free time during my day.

I like to make sure that dogs are in the safest environment as well as being loved.

About: I’ve been around animals most of my life and some of my favorite people are Furry Ones! I’m always up for walks, visits and snuggles! Summer Hours Update: I am available anytime during the summer! I’m not limited to my school schedule until August 10th, 2026 I’m looking to make some new furry friends! I teach elementary school, so I’m up early and at work by 7am, and out of work by 3:00. I’m available most weekdays for walks and visits 3-10 pm. I also am available most weekends all day! I will take care of your pet as I would my own! I am available to come to your home, and when I am caring for your pets I will give them extra time and attention. My drop-in visits are usually at least an hour, especially if there are more than just one pet. Our cat prefers to be a consistent Only Child, so bringing your pet to my house is unfortunately not an option currently. If you have them, I prefer written specific needs/directions so that there is no confusion about what your pet’s needs are.
About: My children and I currently have a golden doodle named Phoenix! He's been a member of our family shortly after he became 8 weeks old. With all of his energy, he keeps us on our toes and we've helped him to learn about 36 commands together in a brief timeframe. Although, our time together has only amounted to a couple of years, I also grew up with a family that had two border collies, Midnight and C.J., as part of our family. #FourLeggedFun Different from how it was growing up, over the last few years, I have quickly learned about how essential it is to understand canine philosophy and pack mentality with dogs. This has allowed our family to train Phoenix in a way that puts his needs first while still allowing us to get the benefit of loving on him in a way that he can feel loved too. I currently work until the early afternoon on the weekdays. So, I have plenty of time to get a few walks in before bed time :-). On the weekends, I am available from the early afternoons until late evening. I would love to share some outside time with your furry friends. Safety is key for both your pet and myself. As such, I will treat your pets with love, respect, and kindness just as if they were my own. I'll be mindful of the temperature outside, as well as, the walking path that we may take. And, if I notice anything out of the ordinary about your pet during our walk I will be sure to keep you informed. Additionally, please let me know what your pet(s) are accustomed to and I'll do my best to accommodate their needs.
About: I love taking care of dogs, i’m very patient and understanding. I pay attention to detail and am very respectful of your house and dogs.

I spend time with them daily and go on daily walks. I enjoy feeding and giving them treats and am flexible to any rules.

About: Hi! I'm a 19-year-old responsible and energetic pet lover based in Ashburn, VA. I've grown up with dogs (a lovable senior basset hound and a prickly Pekingese who has passed on) and a cat (spunky Lulu), which has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy spending with animals and making them feel loved. Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with a range of personalities and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I tailor my care to match their routine. Services: Services: • Boarding: Dogs stay in a safe, comfortable home environment with plenty of attention and care. We have a friendly dog and a cat in the home, so boarded dogs should be comfortable around other animals. Someone is typically home for much of the day, allowing for regular supervision, interaction, and potty breaks. They'll be treated like part of our family! • Drop-ins & walks: Feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins while you’re away • House sitting: Keeping your pet comfortable in their own home with overnight care and routine support House Sitting Info: My overnight house sitting includes evening, overnight, and morning care (feeding, walks, and companionship). During the day, pets should be comfortable being left alone for several hours. If your pet needs a midday visit or more constant daytime care, I’m happy to accommodate—just let me know so we can adjust the plan accordingly! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate different routines. For boarding, I’m able to provide regular supervision, breaks, and attention throughout the day. For drop-ins and walks, I’m available at a variety of times depending on location and schedule. For house sitting, I provide consistent morning and evening care and stay overnight. I may step out for several hours during the day, so pets should be comfortable being alone for that time. If additional daytime visits are needed, I’m happy to discuss options. No matter what the environment, safety first is my top priority. I always follow your care instructions carefully and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite. During walks, I keep dogs securely on a leash/harness. For drop-ins and house sitting, I keep the house secure and get in contact with you right away if there are any issues.

It was such a comfort knowing KoKo was enjoying daily walks and had so much space to run and play. The photo updates were absolutely wonderful and really put my mind at ease. You both clearly went above and beyond, we truly appreciate it. We've found our go-to sitters for sure! We'll absolutely be in touch for all our future out-of-town trips.”
“Teo had an excellent weekend and a great time playing with Maui. It is the second booking, and I’ll definitely book again. Teo was cheerful getting there, which tells it all.”
“Valerie is a very dedicated and professional dog watcher. Her whole family is involved in taking care of the dogs and cares for them as their own. Her dog Nutella was also a great companion for our dog- she is mellow and I think that helps the dogs adjust to the home. Valerie kept us informed with daily pictures and videos which allowed to enjoy our vacation without worry. We highly recommend Valerie to care for your dogs while away!”
“Xinyi was a phenomenal host to Auto. Seeing him settle in under her care was heartwarming. She took him for walks, sent us daily pictures and updates. We could tell Auto enjoyed his stay. Thanks for having him at your home!”
“Liane and her family were great with my dog while we were gone. Received updates and pictures every day and was very happy with the care my dog received. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have been a dedicated pet parent for the past 13 years. Over the years, I have worked closely with professional trainers and dog behaviorists, gaining valuable knowledge about canine behavior, training, and enrichment. My passion for dogs extends beyond companionship—I genuinely enjoy understanding how they learn and helping them feel confident, safe, and happy. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including providing compassionate support and specialized care during their later years. Having shared my life with dogs through every stage, I understand the importance of treating each pet as an individual and caring for them with patience, attentiveness, and love, just as I would my own family. work from home, which allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the day. I live in a townhouse and ensure dogs receive plenty of exercise and enrichment through two long walks daily, along with multiple shorter walks and potty breaks tailored to each dog's individual needs, energy level, and routine. My flexible schedule enables me to maintain consistency, provide regular supervision, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for during their stay. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of affection, attention, and one-on-one care tailored to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and dietary needs. Whether your pup enjoys active playtime, relaxing companionship, or extra cuddles, I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and at home. To give you peace of mind while you're away, I provide daily updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected and see how much fun your dog is having during their stay.
“Christine is very personable and responsible. She asks the right questions and adapted to my dog’s personality and needs. I appreciated her daily updates and continuous communication. I felt like Taro was in good hands!”
“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”
“Elisa and her family were fantastic! They took great care of our Yorkie and sent us updates with pictures every day, which really put our minds at ease. I could tell that she was loved and pampered. We will definitely be booking them again. Thanks again.”
“Helen did a great job with our dog, Sofi, who can sometimes be wary of people she doesn't know, but she warmed up to Helen fairly quickly. Helen was very patient and attentive to Sofi's needs, and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which is much appreciated!”
“Elizabeth takes such good care of my Chloe. She lets me know if there are any concerns regarding her care. She truly enjoys taking care of my little dog and I am very comfortable leaving her.”
“Sean took excellent care of my Abby girl while I was out of state for 10 days. He sent me narrated videos nearly every day of her in action with his dog, Bolt, and the other dog he was sitting at the time. She’s been soundly asleep in her bed since she came home today so I’m 99.9% sure that she had a blast. Can’t wait to have her with Sean and his family in the future.”
“Just picked up Del from Andrew & his family - Del had a wonderful stay, and I felt very comfortable leaving him there and clearly both Del and Andrew & family got along so great! I am delighted with this connection and will gladly make more arrangements. Very attentive, friendly, interactive and responsible care, highly recommend! Many thanks Andrew and family!”
About: I am a college student with plenty of experience taking care of pets! I have a friendly 4 year old Labrador Retriever who I take care of on a regular basis! I have plenty of time to take care of pets in my schedule. I am home for the most part, so scheduling is currently not an issue. I have 1 friendly Labrador Retriever to give the pets company. I have a fence with toys where the pets can actively play with, and a trail nearby for plenty of walking time.
“Bandit was well taken care of during our short trip into the city. I know he was well taken care of and got a lot of good walks in during his stay. Harshitha was very communicative. Easy drop off and pick up. I would definitely recommend and will use her again.”
About: I have lots of dog experience, as I had my own dog for 6 years and loved training him and taking him outside! Although I do not have a yard, there is a small fenced park for dogs very close to my house and usually very free! I love being in the outdoors and making sure your animal is well taken care of🐾 Currently, I am pretty free and will be home most of the time. I can definitely stick to any schedule your pet needs and am very flexible! I have no open doors or pet doors in order to ensure safety. There are no in house plants that may cause issues and I make sure to always keep in contact frequently with the owners with updates!
“Rachel is a gem. She was so patient with my very anxious and quirky rescue pup. Rachel works from home and offers a very calm, cozy environment which is perfect for skittish or anxious dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving Bagel with Rachel. She communicated frequently so I was never worried about how things were going. I would recommend Rachel without reservation.”
“Sandy was great! She was super sweet and her son was the perfect playmate for Bailey. It’s obvious that Sandy loves dogs. She was very accommodating with our schedule too! Thank you🫶🏻”
