“Kristen was great with my senior dog. He has incontinence issues and I wasn't sure I would be able to find any where that was able to care for him. Kristen was so easy going and rolled with all my boy's issues. So glad to have found her and plan to continue using her kennel in the future!”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Maria and her son were excellent companions for Moxie this weekend — super responsive and sent plenty of updates of our dog enjoying the poolside. We will be back again soon!”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. I felt very comfortable leaving my 11 year old pup with Jaime, Mike and family. Jaime sent me updates with pictures assuring me he was a happy boy. It was a mini vacation for my little guy. I will definitely use Jaime and Mike as a pet sitter again.”
“This was the first time we left our puppy with a boarder, and Stacie helped us feel so comfortable. She was very communicative, sent daily photos and videos, which really helps the kids deal with missing their dog. Her house is a perfect space for taking care of dogs. Her yard was awesome and our dog (Joy) seemed to be having a great time. Will definitely go with Stacie again the next time we need someone willing to take care of Joy for us.”
“Chaoran genuinely loves dogs and took great care of my dog. As a first-time pet owner, I appreciated helpful advice she shared when I asked. I really appreciate her great service.”
“Joanna was so loving with my dog and greeted her with so much affection. I felt completely at ease while I was out for the day, knowing that she was being cared for by Joanna. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“This was the first time leaving my puppies as I needed to go on a trip. I was at ease with our introductions and by the time I boarded my plane I started to get photo updates. Communication was consistent the entire time I was away and I can tell the family treated my puppies like they were part of theirs.”
“The BEST dog sitter ever!! My pup is so happy and we love her updates with pictures daily. It sincerely makes you feel so comfortable with the care she gives your animals. Thank you so much.”
“Gloria’s pretty awesome. Super nice and accommodating, she and her 2 dogs got along very well with my dog. I really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent to me while my dog was boarding with her. I also appreciate the good-hearted concerns and questions about my dog; let’s me know they really played with her and bonded.”
“Richard took phenomenal care of my dog, Bruno, and I could not recommend him more highly. He truly went above and beyond during Bruno’s stay. Bruno has a daily skin care routine and requires medications, and Richard handled everything perfectly. By the time we picked Bruno up, his skin honestly looked better than when we dropped him off. Richard is clearly experienced and confident administering all types of medications, including injections, which gave me a huge sense of relief and comfort. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with a dog that has medical needs, but I felt completely comfortable leaving Bruno in his care. We had daily updates which put our minds at ease You can tell Richard genuinely loves dogs. Bruno got constant attention, enjoyed his backyard, and clearly loved spending time with Richard and his family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bruno was being cared for like part of the family. We will absolutely book with Richard again. Richard is officially our new Rover when we go on vacation.”
“Tons of photos and videos of Boones stay with the family. We felt comfortable the whole time that Boone was well taken care of. Large yard for the dogs to play and he was taken on long walks. He didn’t want to leave.”
“Tatiana was simply wonderful! Our pup truly thrived in her care and seemed so happy with her and her family. She sent us so many delightful pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. I’m so grateful for her kindness and attentiveness, and I will absolutely reach out to her again to care for our fur baby. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a loving and trustworthy person to look after their pets.ss, and I will absolutely reach out to her again to care for our fur baby.

“Karen has been a real lifesaver! She has helped out on several occasions (with very short notice) to check on my two dogs and cat. I really appreciate her and my beasts look forward to seeing her again soon!!”
“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
“Amy was a fantastic sitter for our 3 cats! She she stayed in touch every day and sent photos after every visit. When I got home, they seemed disappointed not to see her. I will definitely be having Amy come back when I go out of town again!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Mary! She took amazing care of our fur baby! I 100% plan on using her services again. She was reliable, kind and loving. We were able to go overseas for a week without worrying, or feeling guilty. We highly recommend!”
About: I provide reliable, attentive pet care and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while their owners are away. Every booking includes morning and evening updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once, including dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they need. I've cared for family pets, friends' dogs, and pets with unique care requirements. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for other animals such as lizards and fish, which has taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully and maintaining consistent routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, stress-free experience while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I'm often available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during house-sitting stays. I'm currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and varying times of day. This flexibility helps me accommodate your pet's routine and provide consistent care while you're away. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm often able to spend more time with pets throughout the day than sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs, helping them receive more companionship, exercise, and attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet-sitting experience. Since I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you're away. During walks, your pet's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid potentially unsafe situations such as busy roads or unfamiliar dogs. I take the time to understand each pet's behavior, personality, and comfort level to ensure safe and enjoyable walks.
“We had a wonderful experience with Kate! She did a fantastic job with our puppy and treated him with so much care and attention. It was obvious right away that she genuinely loves animals, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We’ll absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with puppies!”
“Pam stayed at our house and watched out dogs while we were away on vacation. She was very good at keeping us posted on how our pets were doing, and watching our house. All went very well, we would use her services again!”
About: I’ve always have had a huge heart for dogs and cats since I was a child. As an adult, I donate to local animal shelters, help out where I can for these cuddly animals of ours! I am a super friendly easy going animal lover who walks, feeds, bathes.. Etc anything you need! I currently work part time, work from home Wednesday’s and the weekend is when i’m the most flexible.( I can also watch dogs or cats every evening) I also take my puppy with me everywhere if I can! I have a french bulldog puppy who is super cuddly, go on walks with her all the time. My home is puppy and dog proofed, and i have a large backyard to play in!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. My approach is patient, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy or providing gentle, consistent care for senior pets. What sets me apart is my focus on both routine care and emotional comfort. I’m comfortable with puppy basics like crate training, leash manners, and reinforcing good behavior through positive reinforcement. For senior pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs, ensuring they stay comfortable and stress-free. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I also prioritize communication with pet parents, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“Ella took wonderful care of our 3 cats, 2 of which require medications twice a day. She communicated regularly which provides us peace of mind and left the house spotless.”
“This is the second time Lauren has worked with us to provide care for our cat. She is flexible and provides excellent care. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking care for their pet.”
“Alexandra was such a great help. I submitted a last-minute request for someone to come feed my two little furry guys. She quickly responded and we went over the details for their care. She kept them fed and happy and provided me with great pictures/updates. I will definitely request her services again.”
“Caitlin was the best! Our little Hobbes became fast friends with Caitlin in one day. By day three she got a present from him ? ? Daily pics with a fantastic and funny write up of her visit was the chefs kiss!! Bravo! We will be using Caitlin again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I share my home with three amazing best friends — two German Shepherds and a Labrador — and I love spending my free time outdoors with them. I spend a lot of my off-shift time hiking the beautiful trails around Loudoun, and for dogs who would enjoy joining me, I offer safe, supervised Hiking Outings. For my day job, I’m a firefighter with Loudoun County, which gives me a unique schedule with plenty of days off. That flexibility allows me to dedicate real time and attention to caring for other people’s pets. Before joining the fire service, I worked in Emergency Veterinary Medicine as a receptionist, where I saw firsthand how important it is to notice the little details in a pet’s health and behavior. That background taught me to spot potential red flags early and communicate clearly with owners if something ever seems off. Professional, reliable, and compassionate, I’ll treat your best friends like family — making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work a 24-on/48-off schedule as a firefighter, which means I have plenty of full days off to fit in visits, walks, and even hiking outings. My schedule gives me the flexibility to spend real, quality time with your pets rather than rushing in and out. I’m also open to house sitting! Because of my shifts, we’d just need to plan coverage for the times I’m on duty. I have trusted contacts in the local pet care community, or I’m happy to coordinate with another sitter of your choice to make sure your pets always have consistent care. My primary focus is to treat your pet like he or she was my own. When your pet is under my care, you can rest assured that they will be loved, respected, and protected! I will provide an environment comfortable for your pet to be themselves and enjoy our time together, and maintain a safe and proper experience for them!

I have worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, frogs, turtles, snakes, and pet rodents. I am available Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM.

About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!
About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I have open availability for pet care, especially when approached with a job further in advance. That being said, I do keep pretty regular hours and have plenty of time so I love my last minute clients too! I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.
“Jes provides exceptional services and is extremely thoughtful and considerate when working with my dog. I sincerely appreciate his professionalism and caring attitude! Dogs are the best character judges and mine approves! Thank you!”

About: Hello all! I'm Julia, your fellow friendly Middleburg resident. I am located on a 3 acre property, the perfect place for your pet to get a vacation while you’re on vacation! I've always had a passion for taking care of animals and grew up with German Shepherds. This is the first time in my life I haven’t had a pet and I travel too frequently to be able to get one right now, so I REALLY miss being around dogs & cats. I’ve always been told I’m an animal whisperer and even the most skittish, shy animals seem to feel comfortable around me. If you are interested in booking with me, please don’t hesitate to reach out!🐾🐶😻 I am currently working full-time doing Sales & Marketing, but I do work from home so my schedule is very flexible! As long as I am not traveling, I am available on holidays as well. I am very informed when it comes to dog training as we always had to have our German Shepherds trained. I am comfortable walking dogs in the area, taking them to nearby dog parks, giving treats, and of course lots of pets!!☺️
About: I’ve been solely in change of taking care of my family’s dogs since 2020 when I raised my dog over covid, I have also fed and let out neighborhood dogs when needed. I’m working part time at a restaurant while I’m home from college this summer so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your dog! I will not differ from your instructions unless necessary but when necessary I can act quickly to adjust on my feet. I know that dogs are unpredictable so I am prepared for whatever comes.
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I care for my pets on a daily basis so I am always improving my skills and knowledge about the best care practices. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.
About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

You can expect: • Plenty of exercise and playtime • Consistent routines • Clean food and water bowls • Lots of affection and attention • Regular photo and video updates I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I communicate clearly and promptly so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect fit. I’m currently working part time and am available for drop ins, walks and cuddles Thursday - Sundays - I am happy to overnight board as well I have a fenced yard with 3 acres and beautiful country roads for strolling and spending quality time with your pup - we currently do not have pets
About: My husband and I have been taking care of dogs / cats of all sizes and ages for multiple years now. We provided training and grooming while we were in NYC, we continued with rover while we lived in PA and we are so excited to now be in Reston. We both work from home so your pet will always get a ton of love and attention while staying with us. We know it’s always hard to leave them so we make sure to send you daily updates and photos. My husband and I currently WFH and are available during the day. I can walk / feed your pup and other animals during prime times of the day. We live in an apartment that’s perfect to make your pup feel very cozy while having a lot of open space for them to run around and play. I am very active so your pup will return exercised, played out and ready for cuddles
“Abbey takes such excellent care of my dog Tater and he is always so excited to see her! She communicates very clearly and send the best photos and updates. I sincerely appreciate her expertise, professionalism, and effort when it comes to taking care of Tater! Would highly recommend!”
About: I’m a dog owner myself. I have fostered and found forever homes for abandoned puppies through volunteer work with a rescue organization. Additionally as part of my college studies, I have done research on support animals and their effects on mental health. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get consistent attention and care. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. Having grown up with pets, I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, medications, and exercise. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior to keep them happy and healthy.

“Kristen was great with my senior dog. He has incontinence issues and I wasn't sure I would be able to find any where that was able to care for him. Kristen was so easy going and rolled with all my boy's issues. So glad to have found her and plan to continue using her kennel in the future!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. I felt very comfortable leaving my 11 year old pup with Jaime, Mike and family. Jaime sent me updates with pictures assuring me he was a happy boy. It was a mini vacation for my little guy. I will definitely use Jaime and Mike as a pet sitter again.”
“This was the first time we left our puppy with a boarder, and Stacie helped us feel so comfortable. She was very communicative, sent daily photos and videos, which really helps the kids deal with missing their dog. Her house is a perfect space for taking care of dogs. Her yard was awesome and our dog (Joy) seemed to be having a great time. Will definitely go with Stacie again the next time we need someone willing to take care of Joy for us.”
