“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”
“Kerry was such a great find! Totally saved the day taking care of our dog after 6 hours on the road to Alexandria. Kerry was responsive and clearly loves dogs, not deterred by their quirky behaviors….theirs or their owners. Thank you so much! We hope to book time when we visit again!”
“Nina did such a great job of taking care of my small and nervous puppy Stella!! Stella warmed up really quickly and was super comfortable and happy staying with Nina. And Stella and Ricky were best friends as well. I recommend Nina to everyone and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Christine was awesome and caring, 10 out of 10 would recommend!!! Our dogs had such a great time staying with her and came home exhausted after a day of hikes and playing in her large backyard. I would not hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“Katie did a great job watching Chloe at her place while I was away on vacation! She sent multiple pictures everyday which was so nice for my peace of mind and I could relax knowing Chloe was having a blast. I would definitely recommend Katie for your dog sitting needs!”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“My beagle Beans loved his stay with Shane! He gets anxious at kennels, so we chose to board him for a week with Shane while we went away, and he seemed to settle in right away. Shane sent us daily updates with pictures of him living his best life lounging in the yard and snuggling on the couch. Beans didn't want to leave!”
“We are so glad to find Jodee and Aj! Very caring and attentive sitters who made sure to update us. They took the time to learn about Bear and make sure they made his stay alittle vacation ✨ Definitely recommend Jodee and AJ!”

“Karen was amazing & accommodating! My flight returning was delayed and she was flexible & communicative! She kept me up to date when plenty of pictures! 10/10! Highly recommended! Thank you Karen!”
“Russ and Andi LOVE dogs and it shows. Thank you for the pictures and video -- I used to think that was for helicopter parents, but they really did put my mind at ease while I was away!”
“Elena and her husband are fantastic. This was our first experience where we felt no anxiety or stress while Peach was being taken care of. They sent the best updates and we could tell how happy, healthy and loved Peach was during her stay. She instantly fell in love with Elena and it was awesome to see her not be anxious during drop off. I was so happy. I cannot wait to use Elena again!!!!!”
“Isabelle took such great care of our Halo during the stay! We greatly appreciated all of the pictures throughout her stay during our vacation and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter outside of a kennel! We all thank you soo much! 😊🫶🏻🐶💕”
“Nicole was a wonderful sitter for my Dingles - so much so that I wish I could give her more stars. This was the first time Dingles stayed with Nicole and I was a little apprehensive. But I soon started getting behavioral updates and great pictures. My dog looked happy with her new pack at Nicole’s’. I will certainly use Nicole in the future without any worries.”
“Alesha takes great care of our pups and provides a lot of updates! They always come back happy and sleepy. This past time, our pup was a little sick and Alesha went out of her way to give her special food and kept us updated on her status.”
“I am so grateful to have met a WONDERFUL dog sitter. After my dog’s meet and greet with V, I knew she was the sitter for me. I left my dog with V for four days and I felt so much peace. She is so kind and caring. She sent me daily pics and updates, which calmed my nerves. I will definitely be using her again for doggy daycare and short vacations.”
“Liz and her family took great care of my two dogs over a long weekend! I got lots of pics and updates throughout their stay and they were super content and exhausted when I picked them up. Seemed like they had a great time! Thanks for everything, they will be back!”
“Will definitely be using Erin again. She's very accommodating with scheduling, sent regular updates and pictures, and my dog loved her. So! Definitely recommend her!”
Braddock Road Metro dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was so easy to work with and took great care of my very sweet anxious pup, Pepper. She had no problems when I explained some of Pepper's triggers and helped to avoid them. She also was very flexible with drop off/ pick up and made my life super easy. Highly recommend Nicole! We will definitely be using her again.
Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!
Kimberly was so awesome with our pup, Venita, that we booked her again. Her communication and process makes rovering with her so seamless. She also sends frequent videos and pictures showing us how calm and at home our pup feels with her. We will always reach out to Kimberly first. Venita and I are so happy with her. We couldn't recommend her enough! ♥️
Michael was a great communicator and was very pleasant and professional. We had a meet and greet, which is very appreciated, and when my dog stayed with him, he also had 2 other dogs and was really diligent about caring for them individually. He does have a fenced in yard, although the fence is a little low, so I warned him that my dog could jump it, and he did take precautions. Overall, he adapted for the needs of each dog and was a pleasure to interact with. He really cared about the animals, and it shows. We would ask him for help again!
Dana & William took wonderful care of my dog Theo. I got updates during his weekend stay and it was clear he was at ease during his first stay with them (even despite him being an anxious pup 🙂). Appreciated that even despite his refusal to eat most of his regular food, they were able to get him eating with the treats I left. He had a great weekend with them! They were also super easy to work with coordinating drop off and pick-up and asked questions ahead of the booking to make sure he could have a safe and comfortable stay.
We were very happy to have Katelyn watch our dog while we were out of town for a few nights. We received regular updates and pictures, and it looked like our dog was having a great time! She got lots of walks and attention. We would recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for a dogsitter!
Yulia is a true professional — responsive, thorough and thoughtful. She takes great care in ensuring your dog is safe with the other dogs under her care. Our dog clearly enjoys her time there and gets plenty of exercise and play time. We always feel confident leaving our dog with Yulia.
