“As always, my boys and my house were confidently in the best of hands with Mallory. Both my dog and my cat absolutely love Mallory and my house is always under exceptional care. Seriously couldn’t recommend a better sitter.”


“We felt at ease when Emily stayed with our 10 month old great dane pup and 7 year old Border Aussie. I got pictures everyday we were gone and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Bonus points for the house being clean when we got home! We are hopeful to have Emily care for our pets and home again!”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.
“Cheyenne did a wonderful job caring for our 3 aussies in our home while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and responsible. We will definitely hire her again for our pet care needs!”


“Collette was a dream sitter. Stayed full time with my senior pups and my house was exactly as it was when I left. No dishes in the sink, no mess. If anything, they are exhausted from being spoiled to pieces. It’s hard to find a sitter who won’t leave the pups alone for hours on end…if you’re looking for someone who truly cares, book Collette!”

“Emily stayed with our pup while we were away for our first anniversary trip. She is, without a doubt, the best sitter we have ever had for Kobe. Not only did she send pictures every day, she took him on walks at the park, monitored his eating habits, brought in our mail, and came to the rescue when the breaker flipped and AC went out. We came home to a calm and happy pup! We are so grateful for her and trust she’ll be great with your pets too. Kobe can’t wait until he sees her again 🥰”

“Deanna was great with my dog, Stella! She gave her plenty of exercise and hung out with her during the day like Stella is used to. I received updates throughout the week with pictures / videos of Stella which I appreciated. She also was a clean house guest! I would recommend.”

“Kaleb took great care of both my pups and left my apparent in great condition for when I arrived home from my trip! He stayed a week in my apartment with my dogs and sent daily updates with clear communication. Both dogs seemed to enjoy his company and were kept busy with 3 walks a day. Kaleb was kind and easy to work with, will use his services again!”


About: I’ve been watching, and caring for dogs, cats, and puppies growing up. My parents were always at work and it was my responsibility to make sure they were looked after. The past couple years my senior cat had a thyroid disorder and needed me to crush pills, groom, and assist physically. I helped train and care for both my dogs when they were puppies until adulthood, as well as a ferret. I’ve watched dogs for friends and family throughout the years and always enjoyed it. Im currently a full time student at VCU. I’m available all day Saturday, sunday, Friday, and on mondays till 5:30. I don’t have a car but I’m comfortable walking and taking the bus within 2 miles. I enjoy spending time with all types of animals and will be sure to give your pet all the love while your away. I’m a very respectful house guest and I’ll treat your space and pets with the same care I treat my own.
“Over the moon with Ellie! She took great care of our two boys whilst we were gone easing so much anxiety. Ellie is responsive, professional, cared so well for the doggies, and went above and beyond!”

“Blue is thoughtful, thorough, and did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home after we had a sitter situation fall through last minute. Blue was communicative and very sweet with our fur babies (Alaskan malamute and very shy cat). Will definitely be working with Blue again and you should too!”

“Daniel was awesome as always! Great with our cats, even managed to get our older cat his transdermal medication successfully. He's also respectful of our home- we never feel any anxiety with having him in the space.”

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.
“This was the first time leaving Gracie for several days. Mel did such a great job keeping her anxiety level low. We felt keeping Gracie in her own home environment would be the best. Mel did such a wonderful job taking care of Gracie. We will definitely use Mel the next time! I would highly recommend her!”


“Andrew did an excellent job house sitting our dog and cat. It was the first time my husband and I had hired a house sitter and we very much appreciated the work and time he put into putting us at ease. We found him to be trustworthy, honest, very responsive, and kind. I was also grateful to see that he understands both cat and dog behavior (an uncommon characteristic, I've found!) and let our fur babies get used to him in their own time. I hope to book with him again in the future!”

Conrad went above and beyond with taking care of our two dogs! Super responsive, friendly, careful with their needs (1 is a reactive dog, other has anxiety and is accident prone). When my dog started limping mid-stay, Conrad made sure to notify me and follow instructions perfectly and administer medication. I felt very comfortable knowing that Conrad was taking care of them diligently, ensuring they had the love, company, and support they needed when we were away for 3 days.
This was the longest stay Daniel has had with Onyx and Eve and everything went perfectly! Daniel sent lots of photos and updates while we were gone for a week and a half. He also took great care of our house and grabbed our mail and packages throughout the sit!

Morgan is reliable, professional, and super communicative in caring for our dog & cat. We were able to enjoy a weekend away without worrying about our boys, knowing they were in great hands. Definitely recommend Morgan - we will be using her again in the future!

Ashley is an absolute pleasure to work with. She handled my small high energy dog and two high maintenance kitties with ease and they loved her. I came home to happy content pets She kept me updated throughout, sent photos, brought in packages, and is extremely tidy. I look forward to working with her again! Thanks Ashley!

We try to rebook Maria whenever she is available. It’s so nice to come home from a trip knowing our needy pup has so well cared for, and we get that from Maria every time. She takes great care of our home and provides great communication and photo updates, which I love!

Sam was wonderful with our two big dogs, Gertie and Gussie! She kept us posted with lots of updates, and everything went perfectly. She’s super flexible and quick to respond, she even stepped in for an unexpected last-minute trip. I’d definitely recommend her if you need an in-house sitter.
