“Maria took wonderful care of my cats. She was very flexible with her availability as I was waiting for a family member to be released from the hospital. I am thankful for her help.”
“Phoebe took excellent care of my kitty while I was away, even dealing with an unexpected hotspot and cone problem. She was very attentive, caring, and made me feel at ease leaving my baby in her care...which is not easy for me! Plus she took so many cute pics. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Christina was great as always! Pictures and updates from each visit provide peace of mind while we're away. I'd recommend Christina to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“It was our first time using Rover and using a sitter/walker for our puppy and it was great! I had a busy 2 days and I was unable to be home all day so Jon came twice each day and walked, fed, and played with my pup for an hour each visit. He maximized the time he had and followed any rules I had (due to my pup being so young he can’t explore as much just yet ). I had some anxiety about leaving my puppy for the first time since he’s only 14 weeks old but Jon made it easy. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born! Once I didn’t have a dog of my own anymore I thought why not extend care to dogs of the city. I am a teacher and have a completely free schedule for the summer. I take quite substantial walks everyday to keep active and love to take dogs with me. I am very used to pet care even for the more stubborn of the bunch. I am very comfortable feeding, walking, crating or giving your pet medicine.
“Ihana has been very reliable and communicative when walking and dropping in on my 4 dogs. She always sends pictures and updates on how the pups are doing and was very patient with my fiesty one who is not keen on meeting new people. I would recommend Ihana to watch your furbabies!”
“Elani did a fabulous job taking care of my elderly cat over the holiday. She cleaned up after an accident and upset stomach, common in old cats. She ensured I returned to a taken care of cat and home. Very thoughful and terrific person.”
About: I've trained a lot of puppies, nurtured and fed abandoned kittens and looked after all my dogs as they entered their senior years. I love to hike and play with dogs of all ages and enjoy the company of cats. I have time on my hands now and really want to spend more time with more animals. I know all the dog parks in the area including Westgrovein Alexandria (I am a donor), the Mile at Tysons, Fort Ethan Allen in Arlington, and Cabin John in Maryland. I have a lot of availability in general and with notice can accommodate most days and times including weekends. I have a 4 year old fox terrier who loves other dogs and people, so my regular dog walking includes time for him too. Our dog is always with us, and yours will be too! We no longer use a crate now that he is grown up, but have one large crate for dogs who need private space and peace. We allow off leash play wherever possible and actively seek out dog parks and trails where dogs can run and play to their heart's content.
“We used Amanda to take our pup out mid day for a week while nobody could be home. She sent pictures and communicated well. I could also tell our dog was happy in her care. I would gladly hire Amanda again.”
“Madison was a lifesaver! When our other sitter didn’t work out at the last minute she was able to take care of Jack, and even made time to do a meet and greet first. She was super communicative and on time. She sent me pics and provided updates which I always appreciate. Overall she took great care of Jack and I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: Hi, I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs mostly less than 60lb. I work from home and fur guests will get full of my attention during the daytime. I prefer only to accept 1 fur guest per time to provide the best quality service for your loving fur baby. I can provide walking, ball fetching, brushing or you can request anything. I work from home and can provide him/her potty time as often as you request or he/she requests as the day goes by. Looking forward to meeting you and taking care of your dog. :) Welcome to our loving home! I work from home but flexible to go out with your pet whenever they need for potty or walk. I love playing with them and cuddle 🤗 Always supervised putting with leash on. Try to observe pets liking and slowing trying to get close to each other. Giving them some space to learn about us too.
About: I’ve been thinking care of the dogs since I was young. I am a Nanny live-in and dogs babysit in the same time. They sleep with me in the bed when their owner is gone. I love walking them outside. I trained them to listen to me in Thai and English. I have experience in walking the dog outside. I have 2 clients who trust me to walk there dog now. I’m normally free 9 AM - 12:20 PM on the weekdays. After 7 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday And Friday. I sometimes free all day on Saturday. And I am free after 1 pm every Sunday. I would love to take care of the dogs in your house or walking them around your neighborhood. Because I don’t have my own place to take care of other dogs here.
“Jessi was fantastic at taking care of our cat while we were gone over the holidays. She was a great communicator and did such a great job at getting our shy cat to warm up to her. Would recommend hiring Jessi for your cat care needs!”
“Elise stopped in to watch our two cats, and we were all delighted with her care and communication. She was proactive about questions and accommodating to our scheduling needs. I enjoyed her updates and felt confident that my cats were being well-cared for.”
About: I provide constant care and very flexible hours! I have lived with my best friend Lucky which I have raised since he was 3 weeks old. He has lived with me for the last 10 years and I hope I gave him the love he deserves as much as I received from him. I don't know many tricks and skills, but I am fairly knowledgeable with potty training and walking. I don't offer many extra skills to go along with taking care of your pals, but I do make sure they are watched constantly and walked properly. I will try to show them an amazing time! I work full time at home so I can keep a consistent schedule! Walks and potty breaks are no problem for me as well as feeding! I like to keep a close watch to make sure their needs are met. I will try to walk often so that the dogs aren't sitting bored at home!

“I strongly recommend Catherine as a loving and responsible pet owner and pet caregiver. I have known her and her husband for about 15 years. They have always been dog owners, and they adore their their two little fox terriers. Catherine is also a professional accountant who has kept our church's financial books for about 15 years as well. I say this to endorse her strong understanding of fiduciary duty and responsibility for the interests of others. She will be a loving and caring walker, feeder, and caregiver.”

Suphaphattra S.
“Suphaphattra, or Evie as she would like to be called, has taken care of my two dogs many times. She is the only person I trust to watch them if I'm not around. They love her like a second "mom"! She goes out of her way to make them feel loved and cared for. She plays games with them, thinks carefully about their safety and generally puts their comfort and happiness first. Evie is very responsible and trustworthy and I've trusted her to take care of my house as well as the dogs while I'm away and the house actually looks better then it did when I left, when I get home! I could not ask for a kinder, more considerate dog sitter who looks after my pups like they were her own!”

West McLean pet parents share their Rover experiences
Five Stars for Nicole — Twice Over! Nicole has watched my cats twice now for 5-day stays, and both times have been absolutely seamless. My cats can be a little particular, but they were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved under her care. She sends great updates, sweet photos, and really pays attention to the little things — whether it’s keeping the litter boxes clean, following feeding routines exactly, or just making sure the cats feel safe and comfy. I came home each time to two relaxed cats and a spotless space. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone like Nicole while I’m away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — just don’t fill up her schedule too much, I need her! 😄
It was our first time using Rover and using a sitter/walker for our puppy and it was great! I had a busy 2 days and I was unable to be home all day so Jon came twice each day and walked, fed, and played with my pup for an hour each visit. He maximized the time he had and followed any rules I had (due to my pup being so young he can’t explore as much just yet ). I had some anxiety about leaving my puppy for the first time since he’s only 14 weeks old but Jon made it easy. Highly recommend!!
We are so grateful to Suzzy & Soliman for taking care of our cats. They sent pictures and updates, as well as leaving everything tidy and bringing in some packages. They were easy to work with, and I would definitely use them again and recommend them. Thank you!
Roshni did an AMAZING job and will definitely be reaching out again if I need a pet sitter. She went above and beyond on caring for my 2 kitties. She spent time playing with them, giving them love and even cleaned around the litterbox. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of my fur babies!
Leslie is very attentive, intuitive, and responsive. She provided regular updates, including photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It's clear that she genuinely cared about my cat's well-being by taking the time to ensure she met her particular needs. I highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Will definitely book again!
Emily has been popping in to check on our dogs mid day for multiple days now, and has been absolutely wonderful. She is communicative, reliable, and has asked good questions about making sure the dogs were tended to properly. Emily even supported us on a day when a flight got delayed coming back to VA and we were going to be very late to letting the dogs out - wasn’t even a worry for us because Emily was there to step in and help. Out our minds at ease. We’re thrilled to be able to keep having Emily as a wonderful human to check in on our dogs. Would give ten stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
