“Maria was such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were gone. She put me at ease, was super organized and routine with her visits, provided ample pictures and notes, and was a genuinely lovely person who I felt I could trust immediately. My cat was so comfortable with her. I will certainly use her again!”
“Aimee took great care of our shy kitty while we were out of town, giving him his space and plenty of treats. She even met with us before we left to review necessary details. We would 100% use her again!”

About: Use my code JULIEL80305 for $20 off your first booking! I grew up with dogs (one husky, one Aussie Shepherd), and also dogsat on the side back home in Denver. Altogether, I have at least 20 years of experience with high energy breeds. These days I'm here in DC, where I live with my boyfriend and our corgi Romeo. Romeo is highly socialized, very friendly and will treat your baby as part of the pack! Trust that your puppy will have a friend to play with, and plenty of outside time (I live next to two dog parks, and tons of wooded trails). I'm 100% remote, and often use the time to walk my doggy around the neighborhood and take him to the dog park or wooded trails nearby. My boy is very active, so we're outside at least 4-5x per day. That said, your fur baby will get lots of fun outdoor time! My family dogs have had health challenges such as epilepsy, respiratory, food allergy and back issues -- all that to say, I'm comfortable adhering to pill schedules, strict dietary requirements, and making physical accommodations for your pup during their stay. I'm very attentive towards doggos in my care, and strive to provide an environment that is safe & enriching for them!
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my two cats! She came over to feed and play with them while I was out of town and I can tell they loved her. She clearly gave them lots of love and attention while I was gone - they barely registered that I was back. ? She sent great updates and pictures and was great with communication both before and during the visits. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again!”
“I won't repeat all the fantastic things that have already been said about Summar from other reviewers. But here's what I learned about Summar while she cared for our cat: 1) She truly loves animals and understands them extremely well thanks to years of experience. 2) She is extremely professional - a clear communicator, thorough in her work, always follows-up when necessary. 3) She will give you peace of mind (which is priceless!) while you're away from your pet. Overall, Summar took exceptional care of our cat for a week while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“Lexy and Robert were super awesome caring for my sweet baby Nova. They were very responsive and always made me feel like she was in good hands. My go-to in Clarendon!”
About: I’ve been taking care of the dogs since I was young. I am a Nanny live-in and dogs babysit in the same time. They sleep with me in the bed when their owner is gone. I love walking them outside. I trained them to listen to me in Thai and English. I have experience in walking the dog outside. I have 2 clients who trust me to walk there dog now. I’m normally free 9 AM - 12:20 PM on the weekdays. After 7 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday And Friday. I sometimes free all day on Saturday. And I am free after 1 pm every Sunday. I would love to take care of the dogs in your house or walking them around your neighborhood. Because I don’t have my own place to take care of other dogs here.
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”
“Kyra is amazing! She took such great care of Kobe and kept me updated every step of the way. I really appreciated the thoughtful messages and how much attention she gave him. I’d definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“We are so happy we found Mira! We were able to book her for an impromptu weekend trip. She checked-in on our dog and cat daily for feedings and walks. We received updates & pictures for each visit, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be making Mira our regular pet sitter/walker. Our pets give her two paws up! Thank you Mira!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and calm, reliable presence around animals of all types. I have a background in environmental education and service through AmeriCorps, where I developed patience, strong communication skills, and a love for caring for others, including our four-legged friends. I’m especially good with dogs that need consistency and routine, including puppies who are still learning and senior dogs who need a gentle, attentive touch. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I take pride in being dependable, clean, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether it’s getting the zoomies out on a long walk or keeping an older dog comfortable and relaxed, I’m here to help your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I like having structure in my day, and pet care fits naturally into that. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding routines, or playtime, I enjoy building my schedule around giving pets the attention they need. I’m active and responsible, so making time for walks, check-ins, and quality time with animals feels easy and rewarding. Plus, being around animals helps me de-stress and stay grounded—so it’s something I genuinely look forward to, not just a task to check off. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that matches the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions—whether that’s giving medication, keeping a puppy on track with training, or making sure a senior dog gets their quiet time. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to leave everything clean and in order. My goal is always to help pets feel secure and loved, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Juliet L.
Star Sitter
“I would recommend Julie to anyone seeking a caring, responsible guardian for their dog. She enjoys going for walks, playing games, and engaging in other enriching activities depending on an individual dog's wants and needs. As an attentive mother to her corgi, and growing up with dogs in her household, I have seen Julie prioritize the comfort and well-being of animals under her care. I trust her to watch over anyone else's pets like her own family.”

Suphaphattra S.
“Suphaphattra, or Evie as she would like to be called, has taken care of my two dogs many times. She is the only person I trust to watch them if I'm not around. They love her like a second "mom"! She goes out of her way to make them feel loved and cared for. She plays games with them, thinks carefully about their safety and generally puts their comfort and happiness first. Evie is very responsible and trustworthy and I've trusted her to take care of my house as well as the dogs while I'm away and the house actually looks better then it did when I left, when I get home! I could not ask for a kinder, more considerate dog sitter who looks after my pups like they were her own!”

Alexander L.
“Alex has taken great care of my cat, Pedro, multiple times! Pedro's water bowl is always full when I get back and Pedro is always excited to see Alex come over. He is very gentle with animals and super patient, and is my go-to whenever I need my cat taken care of for multiple days. Alex helped watch my family's dogs once as well and he always gets their energy out with walks and playing with them. I trust him with my pets because I know he will take great care of them!”

“Mitch was very responsive and let our puppy out twice would highly recommend!”
Chain Bridge Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have enlisted Mikaela's help multiple times now and it is an immense comfort knowing that she's taking care of the homefront while we're away. Being able to keep the crew at home, in an environment they know, with a caretaker who's warm and exudes calm energy, is awesome.
Trustworthy, professional ,and easy to communicate with! Julia is exactly who we were looking for to care for our pets, including a special needs cat. We will definitely be using her services again as our animals seemed to really like her, and she was really wonderful with them.
Aurora did a great job taking care of our cats while we were traveling, making sure they had food, water, and a clean litterbox and taking time to give them attention and play with them. She sent great pictures and thorough updates, and she even won over our shy cat! Will definitely be reaching out next time we are going out of town
Sun did a wonderful job with our diabetic kitty. She handled the insulin injections without a hitch, and our boy was his happy, cuddly self when we returned after a week of vacation. Sun gave us great confidence and always kept us in the loop. We'll be happy to have Sun take care of our furry family member in the future.
Jules was a wonderful sitter for my cat!! She dropped in on Oreo several times over a few days. Oreo the kitty is usually very mean to strangers but she ran up to Jules and sniffed her politely (very shocking for my cat - Jules must be a cat whisperer). She was respectful of our home and prompt with communication and drop ins. Highly recommend Jules for all your kitty needs!!!!
