“Andrea was so great with my shy cat Louie! I was nervous to leave him (he’s a pandemic kitty, so I’d never left him for multiple days before)- but Andrea made being away SO much easier. She sent me daily updates and so many photos that put my mind at ease. Louie even came out of his shell by the end of the week. I’ve already rebooked for later this year, I know Louie is in good hands when he’s being taken care of by Andrea!”


“Melissa was fantastic as always! When our plane coming home was delayed, she was able to schedule a last-minute visit with our cat. We can’t recommend her enough and she’ll always be first on our list for pet sitting!”

“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”


“This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy. She was incredibly communicative, gave Nico very well rounded visits (lots of snuggles, all of his favorite toys, etc.), and made sure to ask all of the right questions before our trip began. We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”

About: Im a DC based management consultant with a soft spot for “furry baes”! I’m an experienced pet owner looking to help out my neighbors. You can count on me to be affectionate, trustworthy, and professional. When I’m not working or pet sitting, you can find me at a gallery opening, a new restaurant, at the local movie house, or spending time with my cat Javier. I fostered a dog this summer, and although I loved her dearly, I found her a fantastic home and taught her a few tricks! I love animals of all kinds, and they love me back! Contact me to schedule a visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I was unfortunately laid off last year from my consulting career. But that’s ok! I now have more time to connect with nature, decompress, and nurture my inner animal lover! I believe the best sitters and walkers enter your home with good energy, as animals often recognize when a human is well intentioned. I know how to approach pets, and most importantly, wait for them to approach me.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) and have had several dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a dog. I’ve also spent time learning about dog training and behavior, which has helped me better understand how dogs communicate, learn, and respond to their environment. I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and adjusting my approach to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after work and on weekends to assist with your canine companions. I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care and give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’ll work with your schedule and do my best to make things convenient and stress-free for both you and your dog! I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog at home who loves to play and make new friends! Your dog will have a safe space to enjoy some outdoor time, play, and get plenty of attention. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting yours, I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same respect, love, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Kaylee/Joe were amazing! I had reached out last minute for a few drop in visits while I had last minute travel. They were very accommodating, provided updates each visit with lots of pictures to know my baby was in good hands! Highly recommend!”

“DeShayla is an amazing sitter! She provided so much care and love to my cats, who are naturally shy but warmed up to her quickly! I will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”

“Nina was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time hiring a cat sitter, and she made the entire experience completely stress-free. She sent thoughtful updates with photos and videos twice a day, which allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation knowing my kitty was happy and comfortable at home. She went above and beyond my expectations, and I couldn't recommend her more!”

“Emily was so helpful in caring for our three cats while we were on vacation. She made sure our one cat that needs medication got it on time every single day and she was so friendly and sweet during her visits. We will definitely be asking her to help whenever we go away again!”

“Mickela was awesome. She did an amazing job with Sasha and would definitely use her in the future She showed up on time and took care of Sasha. Thank you.”

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!
“Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anacostia
Brianna was great! She took great care of Max, gave us fun stories of how their visits went, made sure he was fed, played with and got lots of pets. Max was very happy with all the play time! He was so spoiled that when we got home, he was upset we wouldn’t play 24/7! Brianna has a lot of respect for our space and kept things clean, following our instructions and made us feel at ease. 10/10 recommend Brianna!

Lily took such great care of Ginger! I was out of the country and a little difficult to reach but she was super responsive and sent plenty of photos, updating me on Ginger’s mood and how snuggly she was being. The apartment / Ginger’s food area was also cleaner than I left it. Would definitely recommend Lily and book her again in the future!!

Victoria was a great drop in sitter for my cat! Victoria is very easy to communicate with, both over messaging and on the phone. I knew my cat would be in good hands while I was away. Victoria provided details updates and photos during the visit. I’d rebook with Victoria in the future!

Hadley did such a great job watching my two kitties! Successfully gave my cat his meds and even picked up their wet food from the front desk when the delivery was delayed for after I left. She was thoughtful and punctual in her updates and pictures she sent me. I’ll definitely be asking her to cat sit again!
