“Paola stayed with our very energetic puppy and two kittens for a weekend and did such a great job taking care of them. She was very patient with our rambunctious pup, who is still very much learning good social skills.”

“Danielle was awesome. She was punctual, asked excellent questions and took very good care of our Noodles. Unfortunately, there was an issue with our apartment during the stay. Danielle managed this situation professionally and as calm as possible. We are very glad she came through for us when our original Rover sitter had to cancel at the last minute. 5 stars!”
“Lisa did an amazing job of taking care of my dog and cat for four days. She sent me regular updates with photos and was a great communicator. I also came back to a clean home. I would strongly recommend Lisa and will be asking her to homesit again. Thank you Lisa!”
“Shamiso watched our somewhat anxious pandemic pup for 4 days at the last minute. She was fantastic. Before the booking, she was communicative. During our pre/booking chat, she asked thoughtful questions. And she took great care of our pup while we were gone. I loved her updates of what they were up to, and she left the house as clean as (or probably cleaner) than we left it. Thank you Shamiso!”
“Such a breath of fresh air! Prince and Pepper felt very comfortable around Gabrielle from the moment she walked into the door. They are both in continued training and she was very supportive in making sure to reinforce the training based on their individual personalities. Walks, meals, training support and positive redirection... Thanks Gabrielle I really appreciate you and your help today!”
“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”
“Erin is THE BEST!!!! She literally came to the rescue when we had an emergency need for a pet sitter- we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and were in a bit of a panic. Erin jumped in and truly saved the day! She is a wonderful communicator, she sent us photos and updates the entire time we were gone. She was quick to respond to all of our questions. Our house was left spotless and most importantly our babies were all happy and healthy when we got home. She truly treats your pets like they are her own! We could not recommend her more!!!”
“Pond watched my two cats and one dog at my house and was absolutely amazing! Sent the cutest pictures, very responsive and left our house spotless. My animals were very happy and I will definitely have pond take care of my many animals again!”
“Mimi was amazing! She communicated clearly and was really patient with our two big energetic dogs and enthusiastic cat. She sent frequent updates and adorable pictures and handled daily oral medications and some behavioral quirks with skill and care. She even managed some unexpected fireworks-related dog meltdowns, all in very cold, snowy weather! Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Mimi!”
“We needed Molly on short notice. A family member had passed and we needed to leave town for 5 1/2 days. Molly came over before we left and I gave her a quick rundown of my two dogs schedules and a tour of the house. My two dogs are great but not with strangers and they bark incessantly. Somehow Molly got them to warm up to her and I couldn’t have been more relieved. Molly gave us regular updates and photos. When I texted her she responded immediately. There is such peace knowing your dogs are well cared for. I highly recommend Molly.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve been a dog walker for several households in my neighborhood. I’ve been an active participant in dog training since I was 11 (taking dogs to training classes and learning how to teach commands via the clicker reward system). I also have experience cat sitting. I am currently a doctoral student at the university of Maryland, so I am free anytime after 6 PM on week nights, and my weekends are flexible. I also tend to run early in the morning (usually by 6 AM) if you’re dog would like to join me I can certainly make that happen, or I’m happy to include them in the warm up or cool down if walking is more their speed ! I have a fenced in backyard if your dog wants to hangout here for the day. I also have a playful 2 year old cat who LOVES his canine buddies! He also enjoys playing with other cats, he’s never met a person or animal he didn’t like! However, if your pet is more of a Lone Ranger there is ample space to separate them as well.

Dwayne D.
“Dwayne looked after our senior dog over Christmas and New Years of 2024. He stayed at our place, and took excellent care of both our home and our dog. He took her on daily walks, sent us regular updates and pictures, and even learned her favorite game so that he could keep her better entertained An unfortunate incident arose while he was caring for her (in no way his fault), and he handled the situation with professionalism and care. He was quick to notify us, give us precise details, and assure us of the wellbeing and safety of our dog. Throughout the entire process he was responsive and communicative. He followed our instructions to the letter and always asked clarifying questions when needed. He put us at ease about what was happening back home so that we could enjoy our time with family and friends. My husband and I would count ourselves lucky to land Dwayne again for our future pet-sitting needs! He comes highly recommended by our little family.”

Adelphi pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mimi was wonderful! During our pre-booking meeting, Mimi asked thoughtful questions about Gimli's care. Gimli was immediately eager to be around her and relaxed due to her calm and gentle nature. On the day of the booking, Mimi was communicative and arrived on time. During her stay she checked in with us multiple times and sent many photos. When we came back, she gave a full report about his temperament. Gimli was in great hands!
Elias was soooo sweet to our pets. Our Collie became his fluffy shadow. Male cat slept with him and our timid female cat came out for good. Even the guinea pig.got loving. Elias even went and got more fresh veg. I would use him ahead and would recommend him. To bad he is not in college near by.
Andre is an expert in caring for dogs and I would absolutely recommend him! He took exceptional care of Ty including walks, play time, and helping with separation anxiety. Andre provided regular updates (photos and videos) without me even asking. He's also very personable and 100% reliable. Many thanks, Andre!
Allison is an incredible pet sitter. She has done two house sitting stays with our 3 cats and she has done a wonderful job both times. She is fantastic at communicating, sending us daily updates with adorable pictures. She provides amazing care to our cats and they love her. She continues to be one of the very few people we trust to care for our cats and home. Best pet sitter in DC!
Grateful for the care of our furry handful—he really can be a handful due to his dog aggression—and the excellent communication that Dwayne provided. I felt comfortable and confident leaving Pongo in Dwayne's care, which has not always been the case with other sitters. When we returned home, Pongo looked fat and happy. (He always looks fat.) And our house looked great.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Monica watching our dog for a week in our home. She was incredibly communicative and friendly, and our dog warmed up to her almost immediately. She spent lots of time with her, sent daily updates and photos, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. She was also a respectful and helpful housesitter, leaving our home tidy and well cared for. We will enthusiastically book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring petsitter
Kelly did an amazing job taking care of Burly. She’s attentive, responsible, and great with animals — I highly recommend her to anyone seeking pet care! She’s a sitter that I trust to care for my dog like he’s her own and will definitely be using her services again :)
