“Savannah was so wonderful and easy to work with, and made me feel SO much better about leaving my cat for a couple of weeks! The regular photos and detailed check-ins lifted such a weight off my shoulders. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Nina provides top notch care! She went out of her way to do a meet and greet, was very thorough and ensured that my Lacey had the best care. I will 100% be booking with her in the future.”
“She is absolutely amazing! We needed her last minute when our sitter fell through when we were out of the country. I was very nervous and she jumped in right away. Kept us constantly updated with pictures. Truly could not recommend her more!”

About: All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I’ve been a kid! Growing up my family would own 3 dogs at a time ranging from small to big dogs I’m working part time so I am usually available! I am also very flexible when it comes to cancellations or delays! I understand things happen! I consider pets an extended part of the family! The best way to take care of a pet is to give it plenty of attention!
“My wife & I had a fantastic first rover experience with Tameka and her Husband Jerry. We are absolutely thrilled we have found trustworthy, pet loving people to take care of GSD, Hugo. We have established a returning schedule with them and hope you do the same!”

About: I've taken care of many of my friends's cats my friend's cats and a couple of dogs. I am a quick learner and will respect you, your dog, your cat, or any animal you have. I wouldn't want to have to worry about my dog, so I wouldn't want you to worry either! I am mostly available throughout the day, just make sure to contact me with time! I am typically open most weekends and I can work with your schedule if it is at last minute and I'm free! The area that I live in has a pretty walkable area, with plenty of trees to sniff and roam. The apartment complex is pet friendly and safe.
“Sarah Jo was great with Rio. I felt totally at ease knowing my pup was in her good hands and well cared for during the drop ins. She was always on time and flexible when I had a last minute change. I look forward to booking her again.”

“I’d give callen 6 stars if I could. She was great! Communicative. Friendly. Professional. She helped out on a last minute ask and did great! I highly recommend her to look after your furry friends!”

“Michael was amazing! When there were issues accessing my apartment, Michael communicated quickly and clearly with me. He was very flexible and made sure Brady was taken care of! Would definitely trust Michael to watch Brady again.”


About: Hi! I recently moved to the DC area after graduating with my B.A. in Biology. I have four years of experience working in veterinary medicine, where I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m currently taking a gap year while applying to veterinary school, so animal care continues to be a major part of both my professional life and future goals. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pets who need plenty of exercise to older or more anxious animals who may require extra patience and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for I currently work full-time as a veterinary technician in Crystal City. My hours and days are as follows: M; 8:30a-6p, T/F/Sat; 7:50a-6p. Outside of these hours, I am available to do drop ins and walks, and would be more than happy to provide house sitting if your schedule aligns! In your home, I always like owners to let me know beforehand what is expected of me. This includes walking times, feeding times, potty times, medications, and, for overnight stays in your home, I like to know basic home amenities, such as how often to bring in the mail and when to take out the trash. I also would like to know how many times throughout the day you'd like to be contacted, whether that be an update on your pet or photos.
About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys
“Kordell was great! He was communicative and easy to work with. He came over before we left to get to know our cat and understand our setup. My cat had a bit of an attitude with him but Kordell was understanding and patient. I would happily recommend him.”

I have rebooked with Manasha multiple times, and she is truly the best! She is always so kind, responsive, and reliable. Most importantly, she takes the absolute best care of my fur baby! She always leaves thoughtful updates, the sweetest pictures, and detailed notes that give me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I never have to worry knowing my cat is in such good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!

Brianna took such great care of our cats while we were away, and it was wonderful having peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands! She was incredibly responsive, responsible and thoughtful throughout. She sent regular, detailed updates and tons of photos, which we really appreciated. She also went above and beyond, even bringing them a new toy when their favorite one broke! I would absolutely hire Brianna to watch my cats again in a heartbeat!

Ziiomi did an excellent job taking care of my pug. I was really in need of a last minute drop in visit and they not only replied promptly but also had time for a meet and greet to make sure we communicated everything my Eva would need. She was on time each and sent me multiple pictures of my pets as well as the additional care they provided which wasn't even required. 10/10 and I will be booking with her again!

Kayli did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, Cheeto and Fina. She was kind, reliable, and attentive to their needs, making sure they were well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate her help and the care she showed our cats. We would happily recommend Kayli to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would definitely book her again!
