“Tetiana did a lovely job looking after our dog, Charlie. Thank you for the photos and updates while we were gone! We'll definitely have Charlie stay with Tetiana again! Thank you!”
“Erin was an incredible host for our dog, Coco!!! She went above and beyond in so many ways to make Coco feel at home, and kept me updated with photos and texts all along the way. While we were away we felt like Coco was having her own amazing vacation with all the walks, cuddles and special care Erin and her family gave her. Now they feel like her adopted family and we won’t hesitate to leave our dog with Erin again. Best Rover experience ever!”
“My dogs love Tamara, she takes amazing care of them. I was recently gone for two weeks and during that time my senior dog needed a visit to the vet for medicine and Tamara had no issues taking him in and getting his medicine for him. Such great peace of mind when your dogs are in good hands and well taken care of. Thanks, Tamara!”

“Absolutely recommend! My dog was treated like family during his stay. We received lots of photos (love that), updates daily and it was obvious he was getting lots of TLC. Definitely will rebook for our next vacation. This sitter is a true dog lover.”
“Kristen took really excellent care of our precious Holly! Holly came home happy and relaxed and actually more confident about going places and meeting other dogs — we could see a difference when we took her to the groomer today. Will absolutely use her again!!”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”
“Min & Matthew were great! My pup has some anxiety problems. They were very patient with her and were able to settle her down without using the medication I sent just in case she needed it. I loved all the pictures and videos. They gave our dog lots of love and snuggles. Will absolutely will be using them again in the future.”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”

“We are so grateful to Elisa, Jim, and their son for taking such wonderful care of our pup while we were away for over two weeks. Since he was only 4 months old, we were extremely anxious about leaving him at such a young age. However, Elisa’s daily photos, updates, and sweet messages quickly put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. They showered our pup with love, treated him like family, and ensured he was happy and well cared for every day. They are kind, reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communicators. We highly recommend them to any pet parent!”
“Chris and his parents were great! Such loving dog people who went above and beyond! They sent me frequent updates with pics and even sent him home with gifts and treats! Mojo seemed very happy and comfortable there :)”
“I can’t say enough great words about Cindy. She took great care of our precious Hank. She sent photos during his stay. She responded quickly and so friendly to our text whenever we checked in.

“Lydia provided above and beyond care while dropping in on our two kitties during our vacation. My usually shy and skittish cat warmed up to her almost instantly. When my typically social cat decided to play hide and seek, Lydia didn't just move on. She made sure to lure him out, even having me record my voice to help call him, although a good old bowl of food is what finally did the trick lol. To top it off, when our AC went out due to a tripped breaker, she noticed right away and fixed it so our cats wouldn't get overheated!! She is attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. Receiving her detailed daily updates gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pets were in the best possible hands. Do not hesitate to book Lydia. I truly can’t say enough good things!”
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Mia! Erin is very sweet and Mia liked her a lot (which says something!) Would definitely recommend Erin for anyone needing pet sitting.”
“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Lauren took such good care of our two cats Misty & Cleo, while we were gone for a month! They were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. She was always on time for our twice daily visits, and we appreciate the daily updates. We have already booked her for our upcoming summer trips!”
“Margaret went above and beyond for our cats, and we appreciated how friendly she was and communicative while we were away. We will be booking her again in the future!”
“Hailey is amazing! She’s so patient, kind and loving with our sassy fur babies - and goes the extra mile to love and care for the cats that live in our yard! She’s handled some stressful situations with our cats while we were away and I couldn’t be more grateful to have someone so compassionate watch over our cats while we’re gone.”
“Celina is awesome! She was great with communication and kept us well updated after each visit. Even though it was our first booking with her, it felt like she had known my cats for years. They were so comfortable with her and it was obvious she really cared about them. I will definitely be booking Celina again!”
“Disha is so kind, energetic, loving, thorough, and attentive to my kitty! He adored her!! And I am thrilled with her!! Thank you so much Disha, we appreciate! Needless to say, We highly recommend Disha!!”
About: I currently have 2 cats. One is 4 and one is seven. I love them with all my heart and I promise to look after your babies like they are my own. I’ve had lots of experience giving meds and cleaning litter boxes. I’m also very good at keeping them entertained and happy.
“Zeel was great! We were gone for an 8 day cruise and she sent pictures, videos, and stayed in contact with me the whole time. We paid for 30 min visits and she ended up staying much past that several times! When first meeting Zeel, she made us feel much more calm about leaving our “kids” for so long. She is truly passionate about their well-being and care, she always provided love and fun! Thanks Zeel!!!”
“Michael maintained great communication with us. Our cat was elusive, but he was kind enough to stop by an extra time or two to make sure she was eating and drinking. We appreciate his dedication!”

“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”
About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
“Alexsys is absolutely amazing and super sweet!! I had a last minute booking that she was able to take!! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day showing how much of a good time my Rheya had!! I also LOVE that she was able to play with some other furry friends and had a back yard to get her zoomies out! 100% will be booking with her again!!”
“Erin is the best sitter I have ever found. She loves my baby like her own and makes him feel part of her family. She is sweet and very responsive. I definately recommend her.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Heidi made Louie part of her family while he was there. She sent me pictures and videos all day of him being loved and spoiled. Fantastic communication and care.”
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”
“Renee took great care of our dog at daycare! Good communication and sent pics/updates. Our fur baby came home happy and tired from a day of fun playing with Renee and her two dogs. Would recommend to anyone in need of doggie daycare and will definitely use her services again!”
About: For years, I've walked the fields and trails along the Potomac River with a furry companion - most recently with Flannery, my family's Great Pyrenees who loved romping in Virginia Bluebell flowers and sinking her paws into mud. Animals have always been a part of my life. I've mucked stalls, herded ewes and lambs, evaded headbutting rams, cuddled pigs, milked goats, trimmed hooves, and named a farm dynasty of cats and kittens names like "Nefertiti" and "Isosceles" (after Egyptian royalty and geometry terms). Animals and their personalities are a source of endless interest for me. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.” ~James Herriot I have a flexible work schedule at home and welcome an excuse to enjoy fresh air and exercise together with your pet. I'm available for daycare and dog-walking every day except for Sunday mornings. Your dog can stay indoor in my apartment or outdoor in the fenced-in yard, as needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walking. If additional space is needed for running and walking in the open countryside, I am also happy to take your dog on a "field trip" to my family's little farm.
“Arlene welcomed us into her lovely home and we immediately sensed that Sky was in a safe and loving place. It was evident throughout our contacts during the day that Sky was content and receiving good care. We highly recommend Arlene’s services for doggie daycare and will use her again when visiting the New Bern area.”
“Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!”
“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
“Jenn was fantastic with my pup, Sami. This was Sami’s first visit with Jenn. It won’t be the last. Jenn was extremely nice to me and my pup. She provided photos and updates. Excellent experience!”
“Abby and her husband were great hosts! Awesome communication and everything was made easy and smooth for a last minute request. Their dogs Maple Syrup and Moose were such good puppy hosts and played well with our dog. We received plentiful videos and pictures of the fun!”

“Erin is amazing ….professional, on time and so kind to my pet! I have used Erin’s services more than once and will continue to call her first when I need to be away from my pet!”
About: I have 7 dogs at my house and been around animals my whole life we have 3 cats as well and chickens! I love taking cares of any time of animal you just need teach me! I am available anytime in the afternoons ranging from 12:30pm-9pm. From the time I wake up to the time I go to bed I usually am taking care of my animals but I can always fit in time for yours too!

About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had a dog in my life, taking care of them was my main priority in my house! Making sure they ate, went on walks & bathed. I am currently unemployed since I just had my baby. So I have all the time in the world to make sure your furry loved one is taken care of! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play & a big back yard where they can run & play. At your house I will let them also get out & enjoy their time outside as well as inside. Will make sure they are bathed & fed & taken out when needed to.
About: Hello, my name is Sierra! As a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between animals and their families. With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, I've honed my skills in providing compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. I'm excited to extend my love for animals to your furry friends. I am seeking a rewarding opportunity to utilize my free time. I'm available most days and times and would love to offer my services as a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Your pet will feel right at home in my caring environment. I offer a safe and fun outdoor space, as well as cozy indoor comforts. I'm flexible and adaptable, ensuring that your pet's needs are always met.
About: Grew up dog sitting many different breeds and ages. Had a beagle myself growing up. While in the military and overseas I got my German shepherd. I fostered a pitt, Frenchie, and a mastiff overseas as well. Very comfortable providing care needed and medication. I am in school full time online, this provides me with a lot of free time that will allow me to provide extra care for your animals. I live in a great area where I can walk and care for different animals. Your animals will feel very safe with me caring for them.
About: I have over 5 years of experience house sitting and pet sitting . I have experience from puppies to seniors! I’m comfortable in giving meds I own my own business and work a part time job but they both allow so I’m able to make my own schedule . Day I care for pets in Clients home with all the respect of there home and follow all the guidelines the client sets for their pet
About: Hi, I'm restarting my animal care business. I want to ensure a stimulated experience with a swift pace and consistent disciplined walking style of what I like to refer to as "nose to toes," where the dogs stay no further than my toe, to my sides, or behind me. I also have experience with aggressive dog behavior, so if a single walk is necessary, I can do that. I have been in the animal care business for as long as I can remember, and I know Fairlington very well since I grew up here. I now live in Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. I will be able to track my walks with a phone app that will track your dog's walking pace, distance traveled, and the route we take. I usually do pack walks of 3-5 dogs depending on size, but I can do singles if needed. I'm also able to cat-sit/dog-sit and care for exotics and birds (no insects). I'm flexible because I have my own cleaning/organizing/declutter business. I wake up however early dog might need be let out or pet given meds, and give at least 3 long 30min-hour walks depending on the energy level and few let outs throught the day if needed for young pups or older if bladder is sensitive. Plenty of loves and can work on training or stimulated play time with toys and puzzles. I will be professional and not have any guests over ever, and always keep doors locked when not there and if plants need care I can help with watering. I have 4 animals myself so it's pretty automatic to just add another pet cuz I've cared for multiple animals at a time or drop in visits when needed throughout my day. Whatever the fmaily requests for schedule when to feed, medicate(if needed), amount of walks and play time needed to make sure they're healthy and stimulated. Whenever they're ready for bed, crate if needed requested by parents, and make sure they go outside(dogs) to ensure no accidents throughout the night. I give them just as much love and attention and play as my own. And feed round same schedule unless instructed otherwise. Giving exercise and play time when needed. And kept to routine of crating if owners instruct.
“Thanks Alyssa. When we are walking Tucker and I always stop and let people walk past. Just to keep everyone at ease. Not all dogs are as friendly as our boy. Tucker was acting out of respect.”
“Selena is great! She's so friendly and thoughtful with her updates on how walks went and taking photos to show my dog is having fun. Definitely happy to have found her, and very grateful for the help!!”
“Kenneth took great care of our dog; even though my dog was nervous and uncomfortable with people outside of us taking care of him. He did an amazing job, and made me feel so peaceful about having someone caring and responsible taking care of our dog as we had to travel due to an emergency.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 5. I’ve always believed that they should be shown so much love and compassion. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of varying ages. I have looked after animals of all sizes and ages so I am well prepared. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, bathing, nail trimming, and medication giving. I currently am putting my full attention into pet care so I will have plenty of time available to take care of your furry family members. I am available all week days and most weekends. I have no problem staying nights if needed. I treat my fur babies like they are family and I give them lots of love. I will treat your pets with the same love I show mine. I have no problem following whatever routine and habits that will make your pets feel comfortable.
“Alexia was very accommodating and gave our Riley lots of attention and a good walk! Photo sent was added bonus. We highly recommend her to anyone staying in Harpers Ferry . 5 star service!”
About: I have a wide variety of sitting experience as I have cared for dogs, snakes, chickens, goats and even emus! There is no challenge too big and as long as you’re willing to show me how to care for your pet, I’ll be quick to learn! I generally have a very open schedule. I like to keep busy by spending my time in valuable ways and am always down for an afternoon of play! I am a detail oriented individual and, unless otherwise requested, I keep a detailed log of what I do when so that families know as much as possible about how their pets have spent their time. This also gives assurance that in the case of emergency, you’ll be able to see if anything happened that may have caused an adverse reaction in your pet. More of a precaution than anything as you can never be to careful when it comes to your precious animals!

They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”
