Jackalyn and her husband were amazing! They looked after our dog and cat and did a terrific job. They walked our dog 3 times a day and fed and played with both of our animals. Jackalyn was very easy and responsive to reach and sent us photos of our animals everyday. I would gladly let Jackalyn and her husband watch our dog and cat again, and appreciate the terrific job they did! Would highly recommend Jackalyn to all of my friends and family or anyone else.

Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!

Mark and his family were absolutely amazing! The communication was great from start to finish, which really gave me peace of mind. This was Coco’s first time being away from me overnight, and honestly, I wouldn’t have gone if Mark and his family weren’t available. Coco can be full of energy, but I love how they were so patient and accommodating with her. I also really appreciated all the pictures and the positive, loving vibes from the whole family, it truly made a difference. Thank you all so much, and we will definitely see you again!

Fathia was so awesome! She took such great care of Thelma and welcomed her into her family! She was warm and attentive and fun and was so joyful having Thelma with her. Got great update pics and feedback and Fathia had such a warm, confident and competent vibe, which is so important when you are far away. She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Tony! Janel is kind, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Tony had never stayed in a different home before and has been pretty isolated. Janel was patient and loving to Tony and sent me cute pictures and notes. She was also very communicative and flexible when we had to change our pick up date. Tony adapted well to his new friends and I could tell he missed them after he left! Janel is the best!

OMG where do I begin. Ms. Crystal is AMAZING!😍😍😍😍😍 From beginning to end our experience was top notch and extremely professional. She began with meeting us virtually prior to our booking date to detailing what she offered and what was to be expected. Everything she stated was true. She treated our fur baby🐕 as her own! She took our baby on nature wallks, sent pictures daily and checked in with a refreshing text message of the details of our pups day. She even gave valuable insight on our pups behavior, calming techniques for her anxiety and personal experiences from 24 years of knowledge which we happily soaked up. This was our first time with Ms. Crystal but she now our go to. Our fur baby just loves❤️her. We would recommend her to everyone!

She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.

Malvi, Andrej, and Max are like Ozzy’s second home. I feel so comfortable leaving Ozzy there when I travel for work, because I know how comfortable Ozzy is with them! They honestly treat him like their own and it makes me feel so much better being away. They are so communicative with their schedules and send lots of cute updates. I also completely trust their judgment with other dogs they sit, so I know Ozzy is always safe and has plenty of new friends to play with every time.

About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.

Jeff was excellent! By far the best Rover experience I have had. He helped me out last minute and was super accommodating and friendly. He communicated with me multiple times a day about how my dog was doing and I could tell her genuinely cared for her well being. He also has an awesome fenced in back yard which is a dog’s dream. I would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! From the moment we met, I knew my dogs were in amazing hands. She treated Niko and Meeka like family and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved, comfortable, and cared for. She provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my dogs and paid attention to every detail of their routine. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, which speaks volumes about the level of care she provided. Finding someone you trust with your dogs is priceless, and I truly feel like I found a gem. She is reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such exceptional care of Niko and Meeka, we are so grateful!

Johnathan is great with Apollo while I was out of town for the weekend. He’s what I expected as a dog sitter. Although Apollo is a reactive dog, Johnathan is a considerate person and made it work with him! He’s a good communicator and gives the updates about Apollo while I was on away. I trust Johnathan dog-sitting Apollo. Seeing Apollo being comfortable around Johnathan made me happy. Definitely book him again in the future.

Myesha is such an angel! This is the second time I’ve booked with her almost 6 months apart. When I went for drop off, my Prada instantly became a big puppy. You could tell she remembered her, enjoyed her, and was really happy to be back. That means a lot to me! Even on pick up, Prada was prancing around so happily as if she would see her again. That energy was so genuine and I truly appreciate Myesha. I’m not even sure Prada would let me book with someone else! ♥️.
