“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.”
“Monique was a great sitter! She asked questions, followed the pet/house sitting instructions I left and communicated timely. She sent daily updates with pictures and gave Heidi lots of love. I would definitely it book her again.”
“Esther took really good care of my pups while I was traveling, kept me informed and sent lots of pictures. Also frequently took them for long walks. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 Years old. Since then, I have owned 3 German shepherds and have dog sat, walked and trained before. So I have experience in all aspects! I work about 4-6 hours a day Monday through Saturday so I have majority of the day to walk and play with pups anytime in the late morning through evening! Depending on the home, I can take the pets out on a leash, or play with them in the backyard depending on their energy and how playful they are!
About: I have owned and cared for pets all of my life and cannot imagine life without them. To be honest, I wouldn’t choose a life without them. In my lifetime, I have raised and cared for 3 cats and 8 dogs (one dog was completely deaf from birth) I am a seasoned veteran when it comes to caring for animals and know what it is like to fall in love with a pet. I often feel like I love animals more than some humans 😁 I guarantee that I will take fantastic care of your fur babies and treat them just as I treat my own pup! You will never be disappointed with the fun and support that I will provide to your pet. If you want the best care possible for your pets while you are not able to be with them, contact me and rest assured that your pet will be safe and happy under my care! I am currently to focused on this pet care business of mine because I am tired of 9-5 in an office and what better way for me to make a little money than being with pets! I love this job! When I am with your pet I am always on the lookout for any challenges. I never let your pet out of my sight. Safety always comes first with me.
“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!”
“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!”
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. Plus, with the convenience of living right across the street from Shirlington Dog Park, your pup will have endless opportunities for fun and socialization. With flexible scheduling and personalized attention, your pup will feel right at home. Pet care is a cornerstone of my daily routine, woven seamlessly into each day. Mornings kick off with a refreshing walk or play session, setting the tone for a day filled with fun and activity. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on my furry friend, offering companionship and care as needed. 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.
“Almendra was fantastic, she was very responsive and took great care of my dogs while away... I appreciate the pictures from walks or meals and updates throughout the day. Definitely made my trip less stressful, I know who to contact if I need someone to check in or stay with my pups. ?”
“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!”
“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”
“I was nervous to use Rover as i have had the same pet sitter for 10+ years. Eden put my worries to rest very quickly. She was extremely professional and very kind from the very first meet and greet visit. She sent pictures and updates throughout my trip. I will be using her in the future when we travel again.”
“We have used Phillip multiple times now and every time he is very communicative and accepting of our requests which is helpful when dealing with separation anxiety. This time we had an extra dog and extra complications and he still handled everything and house was in great condition when we came back (despite my dogs themselves making messes that he cleaned) Would use again”
“Arabella was great with our girls and made sure they were loved while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and made us comfortable being away from them and will absolutely hire her again!”
“Rosemary did a fantastic job with our dog while we were at our son's college graduation. She also helped with watering plants and getting the mail. She spoiled our dog with attention. Will book her again.”
About: I have a lot of experience working the mornings at the animal shelter, learning all of their special traits and qualities. It is my passion in life to work with animals. I’m fully dedicated to providing the best, quality care to all the cute fur-babies out there. My routine is malleable for the foreseeable future, so pet care would fit into my day to day life depending on my clients and their needs! Depending on what you need of me, I will cater each pet-sitting experience to that of the parent of the fur-baby. I want to make sure each visit is personalized to each client and their pets. Furthermore, I would love to learn about your pets favorite hobbies, so after all their needs are fulfilled we can have lots of fun!
About: I have 1 year of hands-on pet care experience, working with non-profit organizations, adoption agencies, and volunteering in animal centers. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. My experience includes walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and providing a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home. On weekends, my days are centered around the pets I care for. I start mornings with fresh walks or playtime at the nearby dog park to help them burn off energy and start the day happy. Throughout the day, I schedule regular potty breaks, cuddle sessions, and playtime to keep them engaged and comfortable. Because I live near several beautiful parks and trails, I love incorporating longer walks or outdoor adventures into their routine. Evenings are all about winding down with calm activities, belly rubs, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed before bedtime. Your pet becomes my priority for the time they’re with me — I treat them like family while sticking closely to the routines you’ve set for them at home. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow their routines closely to keep them happy and comfortable. I provide regular walks, feeding, play, and lots of affection, along with photo updates so you know they’re doing great. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving them the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away. I also have a gentle, pet-loving 6-year-old who enjoys spending time with animals, giving them even more love and attention.
Waxpool pet parents share their Rover experiences
Esther was a godsend. We left our Yorkie for 8 days to travel across country and she housesat and cared for Dillon. I left extensive instructions for feeding, walks and medication and she not only followed them to a tee but also sent messages and video of each interaction. I mentioned he had started the bad habit of wanting to be hand fed, unfortunately, and she did so without question. I think she eventually broke him off it as we haven't had to do it since returning. She left the house in perfect shape. She is positive, communicative and responsible. I would highly recommend her to any pet parent.
Adila was very communicative and professional throughout our last minute vacation and the entire time we had no worries about our dogs (who are a bit crazy) because she kept us well at ease. She also was willing to adapt to our dogs schedule. We would and will use her again
Polly is wonderful with Lenny. She understands his wishes to run away and keeps him close and tight so he is safe. They had happy walks together Lenny enjoyed Polly’s son who even had Lenny singing/howling with him. I love having Lenny stay with Polly. I know he will be safe and happy
Beth is a wonderful pet sitter. She stays at our condo with our 2 dogs. We have used her multiple times and for some longer (2 weeks) trips. The dogs are always happy to see her and I know they get lots of attention and love. Beth goes beyond expectations with communication- she replies quickly and always puts our mind at ease. We highly recommend Beth.
We were extremely nervous about leaving our high energy 90 lb dog and our spoiled princess of a cat for our 12 day vacation. Sophia is responsible, smart, energetic, and patient. She sent numerous pictures and updates daily which really allowed us to relax knowing the animals were doing well. Sophia was very communicative via text keeping us informed of their eating habits and activities. Both animals thrived under Sophia’s care! She started out as our pet sitter but honestly feels now like she’s part of our family.
Preston was able to house sit my two dogs on short notice, has stellar communication skills, and made me feel at ease from initial contact throughout the stay. He sent regular updates, my dogs were very well taken care of, and he left the house in better shape than when he arrived. I can’t thank Preston enough and my dogs look forward to seeing him again!
Amulya, was so helpful when our other sitter had to cancel at the last minute. She took great care of our senior doggie. I felt at ease leaving Robin with Amulya. She sent lots of pictures and communicated with me throughout our time away. She made Robin comfortable and even carried her up the stairs when she struggled bc of her arthritis. She is not a small dog. Amulya is super kind and I will not hesitate to use her in the future.
