“This is our second time booking Kaitlin for our two pups while we travel. She is responsible, on time, and sends pictures of our dogs. We have never had an issue and plan on using her in the future.”

About: Growing up in Arkansas, I had all types of animals, ranging from large dogs to small chinchillas. Currently, I’m the owner of two cats — and I love animals. Looking forward to helping you take care of yours! I currently work full time Monday through Friday, but I would love to spend time with your pet on the weekends! My availability on weekends is super flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate any needs. I currently live in an apartment, where I do not host any pets. However, I’m happy to stop by or stay at your home to take care of pets! I also love walking around the city, so dog walking is the perfect side hustle for me!

“Ariana was amazing! She came to meet the kitties first and was great about communicating while I was away. I was worry free while traveling and came home to happy cats! I hope Ariana is available the next time I have to travel. Also, the absolutely adorable photos she got from the check-ins made me so happy <3”

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

About: I was the neighborhood dog walker throughout my teens. I cared for my elderly dog during the end of his lovely life. I watch cats and house sit with cats frequently. I work a standard 9-5 Monday through Friday, but have flexibility to work remote. If your pet is well behaved I also have the flexibility to bring your dog to work! I’m available to dog sit and dog walk on the weekends. I’m also available to dog walk before 8am or after 6pm on weekdays. If it works with a pets schedule/routine I am also able to dog sit during the week, but will be at work between 9am-5pm. I have a fenced yard and a pet friendly home, but I feel more comfortable visiting and watching a dog at their home. A pets safety and wellbeing is my top priority.

“Noah did a fantastic job caring for my cats over the holidays; an American Shorthair and a Sphinx. He sent pictures for each visit. Our Sphynx is very friendly, but our Shorthair is typically scared of new people. She was sitting on Noah's knee in one of the pictures!”

About: I grew up with two cats and a dog and fostered over 25 puppies and adult dogs throughout my childhood. I have spent many weekends working on local farms to support their animal caretaking. One of my favorite experiences is volunteering at a farm in VA that houses animals with disabilities! I work full time so am usually available after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays so those days allow for more flexibility. My priority is to always make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe! I make sure to approach any animal with caution and allow them to get comfortable with me before proceeding.

“Marilyn was a wonderful cat sitter. She was very thorough in making sure she knew where everything was and what needed to be done ahead of time. She came at the scheduled times, fed them per my instructions, and pilled the cat that needed medication. She sent plenty of photos of the kitties and gave me a detailed update of how things were going, and spent plenty of time with them. I really appreciate how wonderful she did taking care of my three kitties. I would not hesitate to have her come again.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 8 and have become the go-to pet sitter for friends over the years. I know every dog has their own quirks, comfort needs, and energy level, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. My goal is simple: keep your dog happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my current routine. I have a flexible part-time job that only requires me to be in the office for a few hours one day a week, which gives me plenty of availability to be home with pets for most—if not all—of the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, maintain routines, and make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and not left alone for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any household routines they’re used to. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I also keep the home tidy, clean up after pets, and provide regular updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12 - I’m new to Rover, but have spent the last 6 years dog sitting (for just a day to multiple weeks at a time) for coworkers and friends. Decided to sign up because I’d like to do it more often! I work full time and in person, so I’m available Fridays from 5pm on and throughout the weekends. Taking a weekend trip or need a break? I’m your girl! My space: I live in a two bed room apartment with plenty of space. While I don’t have a yard, I love to walk and live right next to meridian hill park and not too far from rock creek park. I have no pets of my own, so all of my attention will be making sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and attended for! In your space: You tell me what you need and I’ll make it happen. I’m respectful of others spaces and have been trusted to do prolonged dog sitting stays and have never run into any issues!

“10/10 — Would absolutely hire again! Professional, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. We have two very large dogs, including a puppy who struggles with separation anxiety, so finding someone we trust to care for them is really important to us. He took the time to make sure both of my boys were comfortable, well cared for, and settled in. He even stayed longer than required to make sure they were calm and comfortable before leaving, which meant so much to us. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again!”

“I got in touch with Maria last minute, after another sitter fell-through, and I'm so glad I did! Maria was attentive and sweet to my very particular cat. She kept in touch with me through pictures and messages and even went above and beyond to clean up a hairball! I felt at-ease knowing she was there. I will definitely ask her to sit again for me in the future--I recommend her whole-heartedly!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and they’ve always been a huge part of my life! I had two big pups to play with and grow up with and every member of my family had some kind of fur baby, whether it was a tiny little pup, a big fluffy dog or the sweetest cat. Being around so many different pets helped me learn their different personalities and needs from an early age :) When I was about 11, my mom started walking dogs in her free time as part of her wellness journey and I was lucky enough to join her. That’s when I first discovered how much I enjoy dog walking and caring for pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my sister and my two aunts do, ranging from a playful chocolate pitty to an adorable teacup poodle, so I’m still surrounded by pups regularly. At home, I have three cats that I absolutely adore!! They truly mean the world to me and are a big part of who I am. Caring for animals isn’t just something I’ve done, it’s something I genuinely love & enjoy. I can’t wait to meet and care for even more amazing fur babies! 🐾 I am a full time student at Montgomery College as a psychology & surgical tech major! I’m at the silver spring campus and live near by and have a decent amount of time through my weekdays! My kitty babies roam freely as they are all pretty mature! I try to play and entertain for 30 mins a day but sometimes it’s 15 a day, I feed them twice a day wet food only!

Abby is such a great sitter!! Cat is clearly very comfortable with her, and she is great at rolling with Cat’s moods and changing needs. The updates i get are reassuring – plus Cat always seems well cared for when I return. Thanks for being so attentive, Abby!

It’s always stressful leaving for a trip when you have a concern about a pet, and Anna did great checking in on my cats and taking some additional steps that helped ease my mind about a potential issue one of them was suspected of having. They can also be a bit shy with new people, especially the one, and Anna got them feeling comfortable by the end of her visits.

Gabby always goes above and beyond in catsitting my cat. She is always punctual, follows care instructions to a T, and genuinely cares about making my cat happy and pampered. Gabby also goes the extra mile to ensure my cat feels comfortable around her, hanging around with my cat until she’s happy and content. She also sends tons of cute pictures of my cat and sends a Rover Card after each visit. Gabby has helped me out so many times in watching my cat, sometimes at the last minute. I’m so happy to have her!
