“Luciana has kept our pup numerous times—for long stays and day boarding. We always know he’s in fantastic hands and completely trust her for all aspects of care. She send great photos and videos regularly. We will definitely continue to use her for any babysitting.”


About: Since I was a kid I have been surrounded by animals: cats, dogs, parrots, turtles, hamsters… I have lots of experience with many animals and find joy in caring for them. I moved to DC recently and I truly miss having pets. I’m hoping Rover will help me to spend some time with little cuties. Moreover, I work remotely and I love to be outside, my schedule is flexible. I am available weekday mornings, evenings, short periods during the day and weekends. I love to spend time playing with and getting to know new pets. I am reliable and will feed, walk, clean up and look after your family members. I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, and birds so my experience is extensive. I am able to adjust to your needs whether they involve endless zoomies or midday naps.

About: Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small pets—feeding, walking, grooming, administering medication, and providing loving attention. Reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. I am a full time accountant that works from home with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate pups needs. I am available weekdays and weekends. I live in a smoke free, child free apartment complex with my husband. I can only care for one pet at the time and I do not have any other pets.

“I can’t wait until my Joey-Boy can visit Hk again! It was my first time leaving him and I can tell he had a GREAT time! He went to sleep right away as soon as we got in the car :). I received videos, pictures, and updates throughout his stay. So grateful for the sweet care my puppy received today!”


“Jisoo is so incredible! I’m not sure anyone is ever comfortable with leaving their pet but Jisoo was so communicative and thorough that you feel like you left your pet with family. She’s amazing.”


“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”


“We had a great experience with Shaina! She was flexible with our fluid schedule, accommodating, communicated quickly, and took good care of our girl. Would definitely recommend!”


“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”


“Amal and Pepper know how to make other peoples’ dogs feel welcomed and cared for. This is the second time I have left my dog with Amal, and it’s been another great experience. Definitely recommend to other owners in the area.”


“Maiya was wonderful. She took care of Mochi for the whole week. She walked her and made sure she was cared for and happy. Loved getting her pictures; they were so cute! Thank you so much Maiya!!!”


“Simone was super communicative and easy to work with! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so painless for me! She took pictures and videos of my dog, and when I was running late for pick up she was happy to accommodate me. Will definitely be using her again!!”


“Sabrina is awesome! Our dog can be a little anxious or defensive, but Sabrina made him feel right at home and by the time we arrived to pick him up, they’d become fast friends. Highly recommend doggy daycare with Sabrina.”


“Scruffy loved his three days of doggy daycare with Miryam! She took him for lots of walks and he came home very happy. She was a great communicator and we look forward to seeing her and her husband again!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—starting with the family dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters I grew up with. Over the past 20 years, I’ve provided trusted pet care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a senior dog needing extra support, a shy cat who takes time to warm up, or a high-energy pup who needs structure and play, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---

“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”
