“If you love your dog, you want this family to pet board/sit while you’re away. Phenomenal to work with. They love animals and it shows with the care they take. I am very particular about what sort of people are allowed to watch my dog (commutative, social, can follow the walking scheduling etc) and they passed with flying colors.”
“Thank you, Marcela, for taking such good care of Cooper this weekend. We really appreciate your flexibility, kindness, and compassion. We look forward to seeing you again soon and know that Cooper does too!”
“Rebeca is such a sweet girl and very communicative. My puppy is very shy and she treated her so well. I will definitely will call her again. Thank you Rebeca.”
“Thoroughly enjoyed having them as my puppy's pet sitters. They were great, very communicative, lots of pictures, lots of texts. Would use them anytime again. Can recommend anytime.”
“We recently hired Carlos to take care of our Bichon mix “Gus” while on vacation in FL. Gus is five years old and we've had him since he was 10 weeks and he has never stayed with anyone other than family or close friends. Therefore, we were a bit nervous about leaving Gus with a stranger. Well Carlos was amazing! We cannot say enough good things about the way he not only took care of Gus but also reassured us on a daily basis through photos and detailed texts how great Gus was doing. What a relief! Gus interacted very well with Carlos’s dog as well as a couple of small dogs that came and went during Gus’s fun stay. We highly recommend Carlos and look forward to letting Gus camp out with him again! What a great decision we made to use Carlos!”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter! I was nervous to leave my dog for the first time but she put any fears at ease. She was communicative and it’s obvious our pup had a blast!”
“Melissa was fantastic! She made Cooper feel like he had a second home and family while I was out of town for a few days. I will definitely make Melissa my first choice next time I need to take a trip.”
“David and his family are amazing! He is very diligent in sending pictures and updates. Otis loves going over there. They give him lots of love, cuddles, treats, walks, and exercise. Otis is excited every time we pull up to the house and I know he is well taken care of when he is there.”
“My previous sitter canceled at the last minute. She responded quickly and we were able to arrange a meet and greet. She outlined her routine and made me feel at ease. Woodrow seemed to enjoy his time. I would definitely book again.”
“Yolismal and her family took very good care of our two small dogs for the weekend. They have a friendly and welcoming household and lots of experience caring for pups of all kinds—ours didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended!”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“Jona takes such good care of our dog. She takes the time with each dog to find out what they need and makes sure they are always comfortable and feel safe. Our dog loves to spend time with her!”
“Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Grant and Yunrui are a lifesaver! They handled my elderly dog with care and detail, even taking time for special medication/feeding routines. It is obvious they truly care about animals and go above and beyond. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“My cat Raven loves Diana! Diana is super friendly and made sure that Raven was fed, provided clean water, litter change, and received a lot of attention. Definitely recommend her.”
“Kristin is an awesome pet sitter. She keeps us informed everyday about our cats, even keeping on eye on possible health issues that I was concerned about. The house is immaculate when we return and the cats are totally happy, even after a 13-day vacation! She responds immediately and it's clear she really cares about my pets.”
“Sarah was fantastic! She took great care of my cat, sent plenty of updates, and was very responsive. My guy was in good hands, and judging from the pics Sarah sent, was also very happy. I highly recommend Sarah for your cat-sitting needs, and I plan on using her again!”
About: I grew up with cats and have since cared for many since my career switch. I absolutely adore their many personalities and love playing with them, if they’re in the mood. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds as well as ages.
“Another great visit with denisa. Very thorough and always responsive. Kitty was really happy to see her and was very loved. Used her in past and will be using her every time we go away.”
“Emily and her husband are the best! They do drop in visits for our cat Lola while we are away, and we always feel like she is in great hands. They are very timely, clean, and send great Rover card updates. Lola is in great spirits when we return. We would strongly recommend them!”
“Paige took such an excellent care of our cat. She is responsive, kind, considerate and very caring. She visited him once a day for 6 days while we were away and always updated us about anything that was going on. I highly highly recommend her. Thank you Paige!!”
“Daniella did great with checking in on our dogs! They seemed to enjoy their walks with her and didn't have any issues. She left good notes about her visits and was easy to communicate with. We needed additional care for the week and she was willing and able to continue helping out, which was greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend Daniella and rebook her.”
“Mara was great with our kitties! She kept us on the loop for her visits (notifying checkins and checkouts), sent pictures of our dear babies every visit, and kept us updated on how Papaya and Someday were behaving during her visits. Our kitties were happy and relaxed when we got back home. We definitely recommend her!”

“We had to attend the funeral on the weekend and we were very late. Azaria was very flexible and make us feel comfortable. She had good care of our dog. I would love to ask her again next time. Thank you !”
“Our long-time star Rover host had to go back to work in the office. I am lucky to have found Veronica who lives five minutes away from my job site. She is reliable and promptly responds to my inquiry and booking. My dog, Mr. Blinky, a three-year-old miniature poodle, is usually cautious around new people and dog. She warm welcomed him into her house and he made fast friends with her dog, Zachariah. Blinky goes for a walk and plays with Zachariah who is the same size as him. He enjoys his stay there a lot and now becomes her weekly regular.”
“Garrett, Ana and their children were wonderful with Piper. They treated Piper like a member of their family. I would definitely recommend and call on them again.”
“Jen is kind and caring about the dogs she sits. Her older dog and Bella do well together. So does the other dog who is also older than Bella. And she has enough indoor space and outdoors on deck and grass for the dogs to have variety in their surroundings. She also walks them 2 or 3 times a day, another plus. And her doggie healthy biscuits that she bakes has Bella begging for more!!”

And making sure they are well cared for! I have a fenced and spacious yard. My home is dog-friendly, clean and safe. I’ll keep you updated on your fur baby with photos, videos and messages.
“Apollo loves coming here and being able to play with other dogs. After a not so great experience with a different Rover sitter, Alex and Eddie have put my mind at ease for our 10 month old German Shepard puppy who needs to be running around at all times.”
“Thank you so much for looking after my Chewy! He came back very happy and Well taken care off! I got 2 pictures of how he was doing and was told how he was when I came to pick him up. Would definitely rebook again whenever I get the chance!”
“Milo had a great time with Marcela. Marcela is a very kind and gentle person and Milo look an immediate liking to her. She look after Milo with great care since he is a 3 month old puppy.

From Milo and Jay!!”

“This was my first time using this app and Candice made it a great experience. She is awesome and took really good care of my 4 months old puppy, she sent me morning and evening updates and was pretty responsive. She made me feel so comfortable as she answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner, but most importantly she made my puppy feel like he was part of her family as he was sad to depart her home and said bye to his new friends. If you want someone who is truly trustworthy she is your person, thank you Candice, I will definitely take Maximus back.”

“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies/kittens to senior pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and care needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away because they know I'll treat them like my own. I'm patient, dependable, and happy to stick to each pet's normal routine. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm currently looking for a full-time position, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they're happy and comfortable is something I genuinely look forward to. I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and provide consistent care. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed as possible while you're away. I know every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before I begin caring for them. Whether I'm in your home or caring for them in mine, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment. I'll follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any house rules you have. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care.
“Jordyn was great - very flexible with timing which was a huge help since we were on the road and weren't sure exactly when we would get there. Zeke had a really great time with her - sad for him since it was only for one night! We will definitely be contacting Jordyn again in the future when we come to the area again!”
“Jessica has become our go to for Doggie Day Care. Our dog Missy loves her and so do we. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She takes wonderful care of our little fur baby. We highly recommend!!!”
“Benja is an amazong dog sitter! She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Ollie was an extremely gracious buddy for Lollipop throughout the day and very kind to share toys and play with her. My dog came back happy and tired. I would highly recommend Benja for any dog and will happily be leaving my dog with her and her wonderful family again!”

“Mateo was amazing! He was incredibly responsive when I needed a last-minute dog walker and made the whole process stress-free. He was respectful of both me and my home, communicated throughout the visit, and gave my dog plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I could tell my dog was in great hands. I’d absolutely hire Mateo again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.”
“Grace is so wonderful! I am so glad I found her. My sweet almost 13 year old beagle absolutely loves her! She sends me lots of pics and keeps me updated with how the visit/ walk is going. She is easy to communicate with and very personable! She’s very trustworthy and I felt comfortable right away. Highly recommend!!! I know my fur baby is well taken care of when I go to work and I don’t have to worry with having someone that I can trust!”
“When I got home Ali seemed so happy. I am so glad I was able to find a good walker and look forward to continuing their help! Ali loved grant and it was so nice to know they liked her too!”

About: I have been around all kinds of cats and dogs. I’ve been petsitting in my neighborhood since the summer of 2019. I am offering overnight services! I am not in season for volleyball and I am on summer break until August 15. I am taking summer classes this summer so I am not available Monday-Thursday 11:30-1:30! I will plan to drop in before and after my classes though! I prefer not to bring any pets into my home. However, I am more comfortable with staying overnight in the owner’s home with the pets!
About: I have always had a love and passion for animals since I was a little girl. I started in elementary school by offering to walk my neighbors' dogs just so I could have the opportunity to play with them. Over the years, I have gained even more love and experience in properly caring for all animals as if they were my own. I am a student at JMU who is looking for something part time. I have a lot of free time in the afternoon and most weekends which I would love to spend my time with your wonderful animals! I currently live in an apartment building but is willing to take them in, take them to dog parks, and go on long walks. I am comfortable and flexible on what I would need to do to ensure the happiness and safety for your pets!
About: I offer a professional pet care service dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized attention to your beloved pets. I offer a full range of services, including dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and overnight stays, all tailored to your pet's specific routine and needs. I provide peace of mind for pet parents by ensuring their furry friends are happy, safe, and well-cared for. As a remote employee, I can integrate pet care services into my daily routine by strategically scheduling client visits around my work hours and using flexible breaks. Depending on the service, I prioritize their physical and emotional well-being by maintaining routines, ensuring safety, and providing plenty of affection. Most importantly, I will follow the client's specific instructions and provide frequent, reassuring communication.
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.
“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”
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’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child starting with my personal dog. I have experience with administering medication and treating wounds. I also have experience with taking care of dogs that are not mine. I have taken care of my family friends dog for about a year. I have experience with taking care of dogs of all sizes. I am currently working a 9-5 full time job I will be able to take care of pets anytime after work and I have full availability on the weekends. When taking care of pets I always stay respectful and mindful of the owner’s boundaries. I make sure to show the animals plenty of love and care.
About: We are an active, young family and we are dog lovers! Our dogs are very friendly with tons of energy, so yours will benefit from plenty of exercise and attention. We have a fenced in yard but we also enjoy daily walks around the neighborhood. We understand the importance of making sure your pup is both happy and healthy. In our home, your dog can roam freely from room to room and spend time in a family environment where they will be treated just like one of our own! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me! We are happy to provide any additional photos and videos during visits to show that your dog is well cared for and happy! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and dependable care I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, fresh water, cleanup, and plenty of attention and affection.
About: I’ve worked with other dogs before and genuinely enjoy making them happy. I also love observing how well I get along with them and forming connections with them. It fits perfectly because I work with dogs every day, and I love coming back to hang out with them every chance I get. I love making connections. I ensure that they have access to certain things and refrain from feeding them anything that could make them ill. Additionally, I provide them with information about the activities they can engage in to prevent them from falling sick.
“Erin has provided daily mid-day walks for my senior beagle mix, Amigo, for more than a month now. She is utterly reliable, punctual, organized, friendly, and simply a joy to work with. Erin is kind and affectionate my dog, and he adores her. She has a wealth of experience in caring for pets and gave me great ideas that I hadn't thought of for making things run smoothly, such as getting a lock box for the house key as well as advice on comforting a dog who's alarmed by thunder and other loud noises. She is a smart, polished professional and the ideal person to hire to care for your beloved pet.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, and can’t imagine life without a furry companion or two. Or three. Or a hundred. But I can’t have a hundred critters in my apartment, so I have to fill those critter-shaped gaps with YOUR fur babies! I have 20 years of experience with cats, and about 8 years experience with dogs. Over the years, I have fulfilled multiple house and pet-sitting gigs spanning as long as two weeks, or as short as a single walk around the block. I am happy to learn how to administer medications or provide reasonable levels of support for any animal’s medical or behavioral needs. I’m currently looking to fill gaps in my schedule left by a sudden reduction in hours from my regular work. Because it is hopefully a short term issue, I’m putting my name out there to help my community and their pets during my newfound availability. My schedule is pretty flexible. As a renter, I cannot offer my own spaces at this time. However, I am more than happy to drive out to care for your pets at your home! With instructions communicated to me, I am happy to water plants, rotate lights, adjust blinds, etc. as well.

“Yolismal and her family took very good care of our two small dogs for the weekend. They have a friendly and welcoming household and lots of experience caring for pups of all kinds—ours didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended!”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”

“We booked last minute and Cortney was incredibly accommodating and transparent about her availability. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, sending just the right amount of updates. Our pup came home happy and relaxed. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Duke was very happy after his weekend with Vanessa and Geoffrey. Their setup is amazing and I got several updates and pictures while away from my fur baby.”
“If I could give Heather more than 5 stars, I would!! She was EXCELLENT with my foster dog, Sam & took great care of him. She sent me updates throughout the day and made sure Sam was comfortable & at ease. It was my 1st time leaving Sam with anyone & because he's so fearful of strangers I was very nervous about how he'd react to being left with some he didn't know. Needless to say, he had fun & I didn't worry about him. If you're looking first a great sitter for your dog, u won't go wrong with Heather.”
“Tex really enjoyed his time with Sarah! He had plenty of play time with doggy friends which he loves and we got regular updates and photos from Sarah! Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!”
“We are so grateful that Krysta was able to watch our baby boy while we traveled out of the country. She was great about sending photos every day so we could see how well Archie was doing and how much fun he was having. Archie settled in quickly and seems to have so much fun with his new friends.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking care of animals, spending time with them. I’m willing to work with your puppies or senior dogs providing good care.

And making sure they are well cared for! I have a fenced and spacious yard. My home is dog-friendly, clean and safe. I’ll keep you updated on your fur baby with photos, videos and messages.
“Cheryl & Gustavo were great! Shared lots of pics and kept me updated on how my baby girl was doing. They were flexible with drop off and pickup. Will definitely use them again!”
“Ana is an exceptional dog sitter. She treated my pup with so much care, kept his routine, and sent frequent updates with photos and notes throughout the stay. He came home happy and relaxed, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. Five stars—would absolutely book again!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!”
