“My dog had such a nice time hanging out at Cynthia’s beautiful, dog-friendly place! She gave great updates throughout the stay. Trust her completely and highly recommend!!!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and my first time using Jackalyn. From the start, she was helpful with answering my questions since I am new to the platform. The communication throughout this process was clear, and she was responsive. I never needed to reach out to her as she kept me up to date throughout the stay. I appreciate the love she's shown my dog and feel confident that she will be our staple sitter from now on.”

“Vania was incredibly sweet and kind with Vader and with us. She was always very responsive, keeping us updated about our cat, Vader, and was very active in sending us pictures of him. She was also very accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We will definitely be using Vania from now on! 😊❤️”

“Lia was responsive and sent detailed updates throughout each day. Lia was also very flexible with some last minute changes I needed to make to the booking. Foxy had a great time staying with her!”

“This was my first time leaving Jules with a sitter for two weeks and Shelby was the best! She provided daily updates along with pictures. Although Jules was timid at first, Shelby and her dog Rona were very patient with Jules warming up in their home and her quirkiness (like finding weird spots within their home to chill out). Will definitely use Shelby's services again!”

“Another great visit! Beth always takes such good care of Atticus. Beth takes really cute pictures of Atti and sends daily updates. So nice to have someone who treats our dog like her own.”

“Alli was amazing and took on Grover, my golden doodle, for a few days on short notice. She was extremely caring, professional, and all around pleasant and a pleasure to interact with. Thanks, Alli!”

“Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!”

“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Diego did an amazing job taking care of my puppy, Zulu, for a full week! He made sure Zulu ate on schedule, stayed active, and got plenty of playtime with the other dogs in his care. It was clear that Zulu felt comfortable, happy, and well looked after the entire time. Diego has become my go-to sitter for both short and long-term stays, and Zulu absolutely loves him. Highly recommend!”

“My partner and I were literally just discussing about how amazing Frida and her partner were with constant love and affection to Jester! Frida was phenomenal and made Jester not only feel at home in their home l, but shared updates of my happy little dog. Frida you are The Best! We look forward to bringing Jester again! Much Appreciation, Dave”

“Best sitters ever. I can’t say enough good things about Don and Jeffrey in taking care of our little man. They were just excellent and their love of dogs really shows! We will 100% use them again!”

“Sky has taken care of our precious Simone twice now and Simone was so excited to come back this time! She’s wonderful about keeping in touch, sending cute and important videos and making Simone feel at home. I highly recommend her!! Will always choose Sky.”

“Abigail did a great job caring for my dog over the 4th of July weekend. I was able to relax knowing my dog was in good hands. As a bonus my pup had a great time playing with sweet Stella. Abigail was easy to coordinate with, gave regular updates and also was very knowledgeable about dog play styles/dog behavior. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

“Zuleirys did an absolutely fantastic job with Agnes. Agnes and Zule's dog Zoro quickly became best friends and I got frequent photos and notes about the dogs' adventures together, playtime, snuggles, and meals. Zule is super communicative and totally understands each individual dog's quirks and needs. I hope Agnes will get to stay with her for many weekends to come!”

“Elena and her husband are fantastic. This was our first experience where we felt no anxiety or stress while Peach was being taken care of. They sent the best updates and we could tell how happy, healthy and loved Peach was during her stay. She instantly fell in love with Elena and it was awesome to see her not be anxious during drop off. I was so happy. I cannot wait to use Elena again!!!!!”

Anacostia dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover for sitting and Scott put us totally at ease. We set up a meet and greet beforehand and he asked important questions and shared some additional details about himself. We were out of the country for a week and Scott made sure to give us updates and send pic mail throughout our trip. When we picked up Zoey, she was full of energy and looked like a happy girl. We would gladly book with Scott again in the future

Vanessa was amazing with Oliver! She responded quickly and made the whole process really smooth. As soon as she picked him up, she sent photos right away, which made me feel very reassured. Vanessa is super sweet and friendly, and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would definitely book with her again if she’s available!

Sadie had a wonderful stay with Alli and her family! I am very grateful that Alli was able to accommodate our stay on such short notice with my last minute work trip. Excellent communication and very easy to work with, including a picture update each day. I could tell Sadie had a fun time with the other dogs and with Alli’s family and kids. She took such great care of Sadie, including following instructions with her two medications. Also appreciated that Alli spends the majority of her time at home with the dogs so the dogs get a lot of supervision. Definitely recommend Alli and will be using her again! Thank you for an excellent experience!

Shelby was wonderful! She was very receptive of my pup's needs and went above and beyond to make sure Jasper was well cared for. I received multiple updates and the cutest photos of Jasper while I was away, which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. I’ll definitely be using her again!
