“Reetchel was absolutely amazing!! She sent me daily updates and took such good care of my babies. I also faced an unexpected travel crisis and she graciously watched my pets for an extra week!! Super thankful for her help, I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life 🐾 I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—their personalities, their quirks, and just making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I always try to tailor care to each pet’s needs. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just keeping them company and giving lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs, and I’m very attentive to details like feeding routines, medications (if needed), and behavior changes. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I work in a way that allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 💛 I’m currently y working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I have plenty of dog and cat toys to play with, grooming stuff etc. I have a partially fences yard and a medium size dog and 3 cats to keep your babies company. If I come to your house, I make sure I follow your instructions closely
“I’d give callen 6 stars if I could. She was great! Communicative. Friendly. Professional. She helped out on a last minute ask and did great! I highly recommend her to look after your furry friends!”

“Kaylee/Joe were amazing! I had reached out last minute for a few drop in visits while I had last minute travel. They were very accommodating, provided updates each visit with lots of pictures to know my baby was in good hands! Highly recommend!”

About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.
About: I’ve cared for many kinds of pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles. What sets me apart is the time and care I put into each pet through playtime, enrichment activities, socializing, and meeting their daily needs. I’m patient, attentive, and can even take dogs on the run or teach dogs simple tricks using sign language if requested. I’m currently senior student for Gallaudet university, doing part time so I have free time during weekdays and on weekends. Flexible on holidays as well! I always spend my time wisely by ensuring to provide their activities, playtimes, walks/runs, enrichment activities and accommodation to their physical needs if preferably of course!
“Naomi was great with our fur babies. Although we were only gone for a weekend, in that short period of time she was able to bond with our girls and they felt right at home with her. Naomi is personable and professional, she was prompt and our fur babies didn't stress out because we were gone, as they've done before in the past. I highly recommend Naomi and we will definitely utilize her services in the future.”

About: (Please note that I am deaf, so texting through your phone or messaging on the Rover app is my required and preferred method of communication) Hi there! I am Dani and I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Personally, I've grown up with several pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and ferrets at home. Whether your pet is high energy and needs long walks or a senior who prefers quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to keep them safe and happy. I graduated from college a year ago and currently work as a part-time Associate Banker, which means your pet will receive constant supervision and plenty of potty breaks. Safety is my top priority, and I always make sure to send daily photo updates so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to getting in touch with you all! I work part-time with a schedule of two full days a week, typically on afternoon shifts. Because I am a morning person and love staying active, my mornings are always open for exercise and dedicated pet care. On my work days, I focus on giving pets plenty of exercise and long walks both before and after my shifts. On my days off, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the entire day I believe in providing a comfortable and safe environment for your pet to thrive in. This includes ensuring to regular-feeding according to their needs, plentiful playtime, and walkings to keep them active.
“Michael was amazing! When there were issues accessing my apartment, Michael communicated quickly and clearly with me. He was very flexible and made sure Brady was taken care of! Would definitely trust Michael to watch Brady again.”

“We are return customers for the kind, considerate, trustworthy and patient caretakers that are Megan and Kirby - THANK YOU! Their abilities to follow instructions, be consistent and caring and even better, their efforts to actually try and "bond" with our cats - especially the skittish one - are SO very much appreciated and we're so comfortable with them taking care of our kitties when we're away! We plan to continue requesting their services again in the future, if they're willing and available! Thanks again!”

About: I currently own a 2 month pitbull and I care for my sisters dog and cat when she travels. Knowing that I’ve gained their trust and that they’re comfortable around me is one of the best feelings ever. I’m currently working part time so I’d have a little more time for drop in visits, walks, etc. The ideal time for care would be generally in the afternoon to early evenings. It’s very critical when watching any pet to make sure that the space is clear of any hazardous materials. Making the pet feel comfortable is my goal at all times. Ensuring that they’re walked with leashes,
“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.”

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.

Capitol Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

Sam was quick to be my savior for a work trip I had when a different rover who had just graduated highschool was unfamiliar with dogs and breeds and more so separation anxiety. Her quick responses and consistent check in’s had me so at ease. Would highly recommend this polite professional.
