“Kayli did a fantastic job checking on my cat! Her Rover cards were very detailed and she provided great photos! She is the sweetest and went above and beyond throughout her sessions, even watering my plants when she noticed they needed it! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a drop-in pet sitter.”

“We just got our puppy and had to leave for a wedding so we decided to book with Rover. Savannah was great with our puppy and made sure he received love throughout the day!”

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!
“Kaylee did a wonderful job taking care of Lily! She was very attentive and gave Lil all the pets, cuddles and love! I could tell it made her very happy! 🥰”


About: I have had experience interning at animal centers and walking big dogs . I have 4 cats of my own ,so I understand the individual identity that they have and how to be respectful to there needs. I'm currently a recently college graduate,I have a lot of times on my hand as of right now since I am taking a gap year. I have pet sitted for families friends on vacation, making sure the environment is the same as the owners left it .I am respectful of other belongings and stay to areas I was trusted to remind in.
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.
“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 🙌🏽”

“Mickela was very professional, quick to respond and kept me updated! My pups (even my anxiety case) were comfortable with her. I will 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.”
“Knowing Jannelle was taking care of my cats put my mind at ease. She provided a detailed update and sent the best photos of my pets after each visit, which I appreciated! I am definitely hiring her again. Thanks again, Jannelle!”


“Melissa is highly professional, thoughtful, communicative, and courteous. She took excellent care of our two cats who both warmed up to her immediately. This was my first time using Rover and I am so pleased I found Melissa! My husband and I could not be happier with Melissa’s service and we absolutely plan to book with her again in the future!”

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.

About: I'm comfortable with everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to giving medications. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I treat every pet like my own: I stick to your rules & routine, send photo updates, and make sure your best friend is well taken care of! I have a friendly lab named Maple that is happy to socialize with your dog or stay home! I’m currently a medical student and love interacting with animals in my free time and as study breaks. I’m fairly flexible during the day and evenings I am happy to stay at your home or bring the dog to mine. I do live in an apartment and ask for the dog to be crate or pen trained if staying at my place!
“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.”

About: As an Experienced Veterinary Technician, I offer more than basic pet sitting. I have hands on experience with senior pets, reactive pets, medication administration, and pets with special medical needs. My veterinary background helps me recognize health concerns early and provide safe, compassionate care tailored to each pet. Pet care fits into my routine as a consistent part of my day and week rather than something occasional. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, play, and any specific care instructions so pets stay on a steady routine. I also stay flexible for last minute needs like check ins or extra exercise. I follow each pet’s routine closely feeding, walks, play, and meds as instructed so they feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I also keep things clean and respect their space. I pay close attention to behavior and adjust care for seniors, anxious pets, or special needs.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Anacostia is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anacostia
Great experience! John took great care of Mochii over the last few days, making sure she was fed, had plenty of playtime and got lots of attention. He was very responsive and sent pictures with every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. Reliable, communicative, and clearly great with pets. I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely book with him again!

Emilee was great with my girl! Laney can be unsure of some people but she warmed right up to Emilee and enjoyed her walks and play with her. Emilee was even kind enough to clean up Laney’s pee from the excitement of seeing her. Emilee communicated consistently and provided lots of updates!

Sarah has consistently been great in taking care of Lily even in times she has needed extra special care instructions if she was sick. I'm glad Sarah has been available to give Lil extra care and attention when I couldn't be there. I certainly will continue requesting Sarah's rover services in the future! Your pet will love her as much as Lil does!

Ehuniz was a wonderful sitter for our cats. We reached out at the last minute to request daily check ins during a two week trip and Ehuniz was able to accommodate us. We received daily updates and pictures. In the past we had issues with sitters who wouldn’t clean the litter boxes and the house would be a mess upon our return. This was not the case here; Ehuniz kept the house spotless! Could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be asking Ehuniz to take care of our pets again.

Hannah was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Murphy! He absolutely loves her and was always so excited to see her for his walks. Hannah was incredibly communicative, reliable, and flexible, which made everything so easy and gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely book with her again!

Jillian truly went above and beyond for us this week! We needed someone last minute to check in on our puppy, Winston, twice a day for three days, and she made the entire experience seamless. From our first phone call, she immediately eased my stress and assured me that she was more than happy to care for Winston in the way we needed. Throughout the week, she sent us updates and pictures, gave Winston plenty of time to go potty, and stayed to play with him and give him attention afterward. She was also incredibly thoughtful—she left everything neatly organized and even shared observations about Winston’s behavior that were helpful to us as new puppy parents. Every time my partner came home, Winston seemed happy, relaxed, and completely at ease, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that Jillian genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, while also understanding how important it is to make their owners feel comfortable and confident that their pup is in good hands. We would absolutely hire Jillian again and are so glad Winston now has someone we trust and who cares for him so well. Thank you again, Jillian
