“Chelsea was a pleasure to have as a sitter. I had a mixup with booking and she was so flexible and adjusted her schedule to accommodate me. She is very responsive and followed instructions. My cat loved her. Will book again!”

“Thank you, thank you! Bex was amazing to my cats Simba and Cookie. They took excellent care of my cats and provided a report card (and pictures) after every visit. They were on time and kept the pet areas in clean order. Thank you so much, Bex. When I travel again, I will definitely send you a request.”

About: I had a black lab growing up and now I have a 7lb chihuahua named Chloe who is super chill, harmless who keeps to herself. She acts more like a cat. I've dog sat for friends in the past as well as been a dog walker for neighbors. I work from home and have been for years so I'm pretty flexible. I may only leave to run errands but I am usually not gone for long periods of time. I walk my dog 3X a day, we take actual walks. She is getting old and doesn't like to be out much, but I really do enjoy the outdoors. My dog roams free when I'm home. I usually crate her and will crate your dog as well if I step out. I live in a large community with plenty of walking space. I have two kids, 10 and 14 who love dogs as well, but I'm responsible for walking and taking care of the dogs. My son is the one who really likes to play with other dogs because Chloe is not a playful, fetching type of dog. I've used Rover myself a couple of times when I was out of town.
About: cat mom to 3 cats, including a special needs cat with asthma and anxiety! long time dog lover! there for cuddles or getting energy out on a long walk! Teacher off duty for the summer! I’d love to spend some time outdoors walking your dog or get a break from the sun cuddling inside. Open availability. I have a pet of my own and know that safety is the biggest priority. When I am with your pet, I will make sure to be present and aware of surroundings.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. During the summer it was all I did. I’m currently unemployed so I want to have as much fun as I can with pets before I go back to school and work. Well I don’t care for pets in my home but eventually when I have my own space I would absolutely adore sharing my space with everyone’s pets.

About: My partner and I work together to provide reliable and attentive house sitting and pet care throughout the DMV area. I currently work part-time as a concierge, which has strengthened my professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for building security and residents’ privacy. My partner is studying online to become an electrician, which gives him a flexible schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and problem-solving. We also have a cat of our own, so we understand the importance of routine, litter care, enrichment, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. Caring for animals in their home requires patience and attentiveness, and we take that seriously. Together, we have experience caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. Working as a team allows us to provide consistent supervision, maintain routines, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We are comfortable with: • Small to large dogs • Senior pets • Multiple-pet households • Following detailed feeding and care schedules We prioritize clear communication, cleanliness, and maintaining a calm, secure environment at all times. Our goal is to provide dependable care so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. I work some night concierge shifts, which gives me flexibility during the day to maintain feeding schedules, walks, and check-ins. Spending time outdoors with pets is a great balance after overnight work, and I enjoy being active with them. My partner studies in the evenings, so we are both structured and routine-oriented. Having pets in our care fits well with our schedule, as we prioritize consistency, fresh air, and daily activity. Because of our schedule flexibility, we are able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care while ensuring pets receive attentive and reliable supervision.

“Delina was so hopeful when we need drop in pet care very last minute. I was able to coordinate with her while I was out of town and very quick comms. She was very communicative, put me at ease, and did a great job with my reactive senior pups. I will certainly contact her for assistance again in future.”
“Naomi was amazing again for our three girls and helped me out with a couple of asks around the house I had forgotten about before we left like plugging in our furbo and turning off our sprinkler. She’s phenomenal!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a little extra love and patience. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m reliable, flexible, and always treat your pet like family because that’s exactly how I’d want mine treated. What makes me different is my calm, caring energy and attention to detail. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort zones whether they need active play, gentle handling, or medication reminders. I have experience with crate training, leash walking, and helping anxious or shy pets feel at ease. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet feels at home. As an educator, structure and consistency are a big part of my daily life and that carries over into how I care for pets. My schedule allows me to dedicate time before and after work, as well as weekends, to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I approach pet care the same way I approach teaching: with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for helping others (whether they walk on two legs or four!). Caring for animals brings balance to my week and gives me joy it’s my way to unwind while doing something meaningful. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routine from feeding times and walks to their favorite toys or chill spots , so I can keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets have a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and playtime. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels at home while you’re away. It’s all about trust you trusting me with your pet, and your pet trusting me to care for them like family.
“Callen did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Willow! She was very responsive and communicative and sent plenty of photos, and Willow took right to her. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Aliyah was Great! Super responsive went the extra mile beyond just what I asked her to do. Sent pictures and definitely seems like she has a great love for animals. Will definitely book her in the future.”


About: I have been an animal lover as long as I’ve been alive. For 15 years I have been responsible for caring for a variety of animals but mainly Dogs and Cats. I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of medical issues. I understand the importance of consistency when it comes to caring for a pet in general but especially when they have health concerns. Comfortable around all breeds and sizes. Knowledgeable in leash training, potty training, and crate training. Just like people all animals have their own unique personality. Excited to care for your best friend like they were my own! I do occasionally work on the weekends so there could be 7-8 hour periods between me being with your pet. Would let you know my work schedule if that overlap with care. If no fenced in yard at residence will keep dog on a leash at all times outside the home. I am respectful of peoples homes since that is your safe space. My yard is fenced at my residence so if you wanted your pet to stay with me they would need to be comfortable around 2 fosters cats and children.
“Mikaela is such a find! We were in a bit of an emergency situation with the dogs and she was able to save the day with her responsiveness, availability, and kindness. She gave super detailed reports on the dogs with every visit and it's clear how much she loves animals. Two massive thumbs up!”

About: I have over six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through raising and caring for my own dog, Lucky. During that time, I handled daily feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, administering basic medications when needed, and providing lots of love and attention. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and exercise. During walks, I use secure leashes and stay aware of my surroundings to keep pets safe. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Chanell was a wonderful sitter for our dog. Our dog took to her right away (which was a relief as he can be choosy about his friends) and she let him warm up and get to know her. She sent photos during her drop in and updates on her arrival before the stop over as well. We will definitely book with Chanell again in the future.”

“Erica was great with our cat. She was very responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond, e.g. by also bringing the mail inside and stopping by for an additional, next-day visit. Would definitely recommend her and work with her again. Thank you, Erica!”

About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Capitol Heights
Natalie is amazing and went above and beyond at very late notice to make my Dante happy and comfortable while I was away for work. She was flexible with a very rushed meet-and-greet and remained flexible throughout the stay, even as I added another sameday drop-in. She had great treats and toys for him and took tons of pictures. I know he loved the walks and getting outside. I’m very appreciative and grateful for her time and care! Will absolutely be booking again.

They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.

Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.

Stephanne is great with my 3 dogs. She can handle taking all 3 of my dogs on walks together, has so much experience with dog behavior, and she’s very attentive to their health and well being. She is incredibly reliable; I have such peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of my dogs.

Ehuniz did an amazing job sitting for my dog Asja! I can pretty much fill out a potential sitter during the Meet and Greet. Ehuniz was very warm and calm which made me quite comfortable (my dog feeds off energy). Ehuniz was very responsive when I made initial contact with here to sit for my dog which was a pretty quick turnaround due to a last minute issues with the person originally scheduled to sit for her. I highly recommend Ehuniz if you are looking for a reliable sitter!

It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.
