1. Joel E.
“Joel is the best Rover sitter we’ve used! He sent long check-in messages and plenty of photos each day. We had a few problems, like a broken glass from our kitty, which he cleaned it up and was super kind about it. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
2. Jasmine E.
“Jasmine did an amazing job watching my cat Theo. She was so attentive to his needs and I enjoyed the great photos she took of him. I highly recommend Jasmine for pet sitting!”
3. Samantha R.
“Samantha provided amazing care for my two cats. She was really attentive to their needs, including administering medication, grooming, refiling water fountains, cleaning up after one of my kitties got sick. She's great about letting the cats do their own thing; giving them space when they don't feel social or playing and giving pets when they do.”
4. Corinne N.
“My 4 month puppy loves Corinne! She communicates with me throughout the drop in visits and my puppy always looks super happy in the pictures she sends! I am able to have complete peace of mind while I’m at work.”
5. Malin M.
About: I started walking dogs and catsitting on Capitol Hill in DC with a very professional attitude at age 12. I made a website and have since had over 2 dozen clients, including long term ones, proof that I’m dedicated to dog walking. I’d love to meet even more amazing animals now that I’ve changed states for college. I am a student at the Claremont Consortium, and anytime I’m not busy with school I’d love to be outside and walking dogs! This especially includes early mornings and evenings, when I’m most able to complete a visit. When I visit a client’s home, I am very respectful of their privacy and their home’s security. I have never forgotten to lock a door or lost a key, and I always leave things exactly as I found them. I also make sure not to leave a mess around pet care areas.

“Mary Grace helped me when I was in a pinch! She’s reliable and flexible for health care workers! ☺️”
7. Bonnie H.
“Bonnie was fantastic! She offered to come over and meet the kitties and learn about their needs before the visits were needed. She was very communicative, had a great rapport with the cats, and made sure litter boxes were neat and tidy when I came home. She played with the cats and they looked very content in her company.”
8. Andrea F.
“Andrea did a great job checking in on our five-year-old cat! She sent us excellent pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
9. Emily B.
“Emily looked after my cat for a week. She played and snuggled with him, kept his water full and his litter box clean. She was communicative and sent daily updates. Highly recommend!”
10. Arianna L.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Arianna provided for Jax and Ziggy while we were away. She went above and beyond, ensuring they were not only well-fed and walked but also received lots of love and attention. Arianna kept us updated with photos and notes, which was incredibly reassuring. Both Jax and Ziggy were clearly happy and relaxed when we returned. I highly recommend Arianna for anyone needing a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter/walker. Thank you, Arianna, for taking such great care of our fur babies!”
11. Katarzyna A.
“Above and beyond sitter. Truly connects with your fur baby. Would highly recommend. Extremely professional and communicative!”
12. Anna M.
“Anna watched my cat on a last minute request after another pet sitter had to cancel. She was able to confirm the reservation and do the meet and greet the same time on short notice which I greatly appreciated. Anna was understanding and flexible with my moody cat that can be difficult.”
13. Neil K.
“Neil was a wonderful catsitter over the Thanksgiving holiday. He was a very prompt communicator, took good care of my cat, and was flexible with scheduling when I realized I needed to book an extra day.”
14. Nicole & Keiran D.
“Nicole and Keiran were excellent from start to finish. They were attentive and ensured they had all the details needed for the drop-in visits during the initial meet and greet. The Rover cards came with more than one image and a short description of how my baby girl was doing. They were also very responsive through messages. As a first-time Rover user, they exceeded my expectations, and my baby girl was happy!”
15. Briana W.
“Briana took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She took the time to befriend our princess cat and made sure she got her medication every day.”
16. Mary & Hannah & Morgan B.
“The girls were so kind and great when it came to attention to details! They were great communicators as well as super flexible in our needs. Highly recommend!”
17. Ida & Travis A.
“Another great cat sitting experience with Ida and Travis! Really appreciate the reports and photos they send, making it easier to be away from home.”
18. Chelsa G.
“Chelsa was absolutely wonderful with our pup. She was very accommodating, sent detailed report cards, and included great photos while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”
19. Gabriyela G.
“Gabriyela was awesome with my pup! She was punctual and went the extra mile with him. She followed directions and i can tell Saint really liked her! Look forward to booking her again.”
20. Dominique H.
“Dominique was the absolute best! It was the first time I was leaving my cat Esme for an extended period of time and she was so patient, thorough, timely, and most importantly, so generous with her cuddles and belly rubs for Esme. She went above and beyond to assure us Esme was being well looked after by giving us consistent updates and photos. Amid the big snow storm she was so thoughtful to help us make sure the pipes didn’t freeze in the kitchen. Dominique is a true animal lover — you and your pet will be in good hands! Can’t wait to book her again.”
