House Sitting in Virts Corner

“Jaida was fantastic! She stepped in last minute to help with a house sit for our pup and even managed to fit in a meet and greet beforehand. Our anxious dog took to her right away and even slept with her in the guest room which isn’t her norm so I assume she really liked Jaida! Jaida also sent some super cute pics and left our house in great condition. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care and hope she can sit for our dog again in the future!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including a 15-year-old dachshund. I provide a daily routine, health monitoring, and a comfortable, enriched life for senior pets. I am available to board your pet in our home. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your needs. I have experience in caring for all types of pets and will provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pet while you are away. I have a fenced yard and a 13-year-old dachshund. I am happy to puppysit for you. While you are away, your furbaby can stay at our home, where I will treat them like our own.

“Mercedez was communicative and I was able to enjoy my time away from my dog, Abi, knowing that my dog was in capable hands and had a new friend to snuggle with!”

“Brooke just completed in-house sitting for our mixed pittie girl, Zoey. Zoey LOVES her! Brooke kept us apprised with updates and pictures and it is clear that Zoey has bonded with Brooke. Brooke is loving, calm, diligent, and proactive in communications. We lucked out finding her and I give her the highest rating possible!”

“Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3”

“Thank goodness I found Kally. We recently moved to Loudoun County and I was in search of a great overnight sitter for my elderly pug. Not only does Kally have a special fondness for pugs, since she had two of her own, but she is an experienced and professional dog sitter. She is organized, detail oriented, and thorough and clearly strives to be the best in the business. I chose her based on outstanding Rover reviews, but now I know why. She took care of EVERYTHING. She immediately formed a bond with my little pug, who clearly has some special needs as she is aging, and reassured me that she had experience with any potential issues. I received daily pictures and videos, and little messages that everything was going great. That made my vacation so much more relaxing, as I was initially worried about leaving her with just anyone. She was so happy in Kally’s care. Upon return, our house was immaculate. She went above and beyond. She is top-notch and I get why she is so sought after as a care giver. I am really fortunate to have found Kally, and I feel so comfortable now with such a professional and loving caregiver.”

“Emma did an amazing job taking care of our dog and home while we were away! Our dog does best with someone home, and Emma made sure to keep him comfortable and happy during her stay. We came home to a clean house and happy dog. We would absolutely recommend!”

“Took great care of our two fur babies. Regular texts and pics were provided. Fabulous team effort-- we will be repeat customers!”

“Joanne watched my 2 Russell terriers for a week at my house and did a great job following their usual day. She took them for walks and every day sent me pictures of them and how she was doing activities with them since they are old and set in their ways. I felt very comfortable having her with them since this was my first time with Rover. I would definitely recommend her for someone who will be away and know they are well cared for.”

“Celina was the best! She took great care of Theo and kept me updated while I was overseas on my trip. Theo loved her, and he’ll definitely be seeing her again.”

About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)

About: Growing up, my family has owned many dogs and other pets, and I have always been heavily involved in their care. I had a dog walking business a few years ago, and I regularly watched the dogs of our friends and neighbors. My family also fostered a dog for a time, which I was heavily involved in. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to walk and care for many different dogs through Rover. Throughout all of these experiences, I have had to care for many different types of dogs, both big and small, and old and young. As a result, I am comfortable with all types of breeds and know how to navigate challenges when it comes to pet care. Most importantly, I love dogs! I am available every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I am very flexible and can always find time to accommodate other schedules. Please check my calendar for any days marked unavailable. When caring for dogs in the homes of others, I make sure that they are comfortable, well fed, and loved. When walking dogs, I always make sure to go at their pace, pick up after them, and keep them safe.

About: I grew up with so many animals and was taking care of them as soon as I could walk! We had at least 3 dogs at a time, a cat, etc. I love to take my dogs on long walks! I’m currently working at a restaurant during the weekday nights but available daytime and mornings! My family moved away and took the animals so I’m wanting that animal love back in my life! I just make sure they’re being taken care of and getting lots of exercise and pets! Pet affection is the best type of love and I miss it!

“Camille was an angel taking care of our babies! She was in constant communication with us and sent tons of photos and videos!! She left the home even cleaner than the way we left it and are so thankful for her. We hope to use her again in the future, our dogs love Camille!!”

About: I grew up with large dogs my whole life and have watched a number of friends/family's dogs over the years! I love taking dogs on walks and spending time caring for pets. I am home for the summer before I move away for my post graduate education. I would love to help take care of your fur baby! I live in a very safe and walkable neighborhood, with a dog park and great walking trails, that way your pup stays safe, entertained, and gets their exercise!

About: Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Are you seeking top-notch care and companionship for your furry friend? Look no further! I'm a dedicated 24-year-old with a passion for pups, working from home and ready to give your dog the time of their life. My mini Labradoodle, trained as my emotional support dog, is the epitome of sweetness and charm. Together, we offer tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of love.

Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment. In my home, I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, creating a safe space for pets to roam and play.

“Jo Anna went above and beyond for our dog while we were on vacation. It was so nice having peace of mind that everything was being taken care of, so we could fully enjoy some time away.”

“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”

“Camila was so sweet and understanding of my dogs quirks. She took great care of my boy Oscar. Responds promptly to messages provided updates and was respectful of our home. Your loved one will be in good hands.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years—whether in my home or theirs. Dogs are such fun, always ready to play, and both my children and I love spending time with them. They truly bring so much joy to our days! I have a flexible job and check in a few times a day. I also work from home some days, so there’s always an adult home for TLC and potty breaks. I now live in a pet-friendly condo that still offers plenty of comfort and care for your furry friend. While I don’t have a backyard, my dog Onyx and I enjoy daily walks and outdoor time on nearby trails. We look forward to giving your pet lots of love, playtime, and a cozy stay!
