“We had a great experience with Janelle, as always! We feel so much more relaxed when we have to be away from the house for a few days knowing she’s helping take care of our cats.”

“Mikeala took great care of my cats! She made sure they were eating, scooped their litter box, and went out of her way to clean up their little messes. I’d be happy to use her again! Thanks Mikeala!”

“Emily is a wonderful cat sitter, and went above and beyond for my cat on relatively short notice. In addition to the usual timely visits and communication, Emily went out of her way to disable a broken smoke detector that was causing stress for my cat. I would recommend Emily to any cat owner in need of drop in visits.”

“First time puppy owner and Rover user and I highly recommend Melissa. I unexpectedly had to work out of my DC office which means we had to travel to town and I had to leave my 14wk puppy crated for much of the day for the first time. He's not fully vaccinated yet so he can't even go for a walk and I needed someone for multiple times a day. Also, he's a handful. I was SO worried! Melissa was AWESOME and from the meet and greet just put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with photos that let me relax and focus on my job knowing he was in good hands. I saw he went to the bathroom, ate and drank and got out his puppy zippies - a productive half hour I aspire to! She even got him to #2 on the puppy pad, which is still a challenge for him! Next time I'm in need of a walker or a sitter in DC, she's at the top of my list. Thanks again, Melissa!”

“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!”

Janine S.

“We are return customers for the kind, considerate, trustworthy and patient caretakers that are Megan and Kirby - THANK YOU! Their abilities to follow instructions, be consistent and caring and even better, their efforts to actually try and "bond" with our cats - especially the skittish one - are SO very much appreciated and we're so comfortable with them taking care of our kitties when we're away! We plan to continue requesting their services again in the future, if they're willing and available! Thanks again!”

George G.

About: I’ve watched and walked dogs since I was a kid, I’m always attentive, and protective of animals. Cats and dogs are naturally drawn to me because I have great energy. I’m a student but I’m available to care for your pets throughout the week, and I’m always available on the weekends. Or whenever needed. Caring for pets in my home or a client’s home starts with understanding each animal’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medical requirements. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I also follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as administering medication, maintaining training consistency, and keeping the pet comfortable while the owner is away.

About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

“Jennifer was a great and fantastic caretaker for the cantankerous Florence!”

“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 🙌🏽”

About: I have owned several dogs over the years, but as my life got busy I could no longer care for a dog in my home. I really miss having a pet but, cant commit to having one full-time. I really wished services like this were available to me years ago and now that it is available I hope to help others keep their pets! It helps me too! I get to enjoy the love of a dog or cat for a few hour a day or a few days per week while you get to take care of your personal business. I am a HR Professional by day and animal lover at all times! I am currently working a hybrid schedule where I have some days in the office and at least two or three days of work from home a week. However my schedule is pretty flexible. I recently picked up some contract work where I am 2-3 days a week in the office 9-5 and then the other days 100% remote. There are some hours during the week where I'll be away from home, but if you need to message me about the schedule or your specific needs, I'm sure we can figure something out. I live in a condo building so dogs who are reactive to noises or activities by other pets when looking out the window may not be a good fit if they bark a lot, as my neighbors are used to a quiet environment. I require meeting the parents and the dog before I provide services. This way we can agree on the needs of the specific dog rather than focus on my needs. I use that meeting to decide and help the parents decide if I am the right caretaker for their fury loved one. I live in a secure condo building with plenty of pets in a neighborhood that is very walkable and has plenty of dog parks around. If your dog is not friendly to other dogs, children or people, my neighborhood might not be the best fit as there are a lot of dogs out and about on our daily walks. I am the best fit for dogs who are well leash trained, used to a quiet home environment, and are friendly to both dogs and people. I do not allow large dogs on furniture. I make an exception for small dogs under 15 lb.

“Had such a great experience working with Gabrielle! She was very communicative throughout the entire booking and actual care process. I also want to thank her for being flexible, and for overall taking such great care of my pup. My first ever Rover experience, and she made it super stress free. Will definitely be booking her again!”
