“Jared walks our dog regularly and cat-sits for us when we travel, and he is great with all our furry friends. They are well cared for, and Jared is very communicative. We're so happy to have him to take care of our babies.”
“I did a last minute request and he was available and accommodating! He listened to everything, reviewed my dogs’ journals without me asking, and followed through. He made sure my dogs had water prior leaving. I would definitely use him again! Thank you!”
“Amani, is outstanding. Leah came home happy and ready to se her daddy. I really want to say thanks Amani for helping me today. I really look forward to working with you a lot more”
About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by houses periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.
“Our dog Finley loves having Alexandra and her dog Gus come and play with her. Alexandra is very active with Finley, and Finley is well exercised and much calmer afterwards! Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve lived with five dogs and two cats of my own over the last 15 years, and they’ve all been family. More recently, I've fostered many dogs with different needs and temperaments in my home during the last year. I’ve cared for everything from zoomy puppies to sweet old-timers who needed help with stairs, meds, and the occasional mess. I’m calm, gentle, and totally happy spending hours just hanging out with animals. Whether your pet wants playtime, walks, or snuggles, I'm game. I'm self-employed with a flexible, hybrid schedule. With a little notice, I can tighten my away from home work hours to 4 or less most days. As both a sitter and an owner, I know that communication is key and details matter. Just let me know your pets needs and quirks and I will treat them as you would.
About: I am a loving pet sitter with over 3 years of experience. I love all animals and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend. I currently work from home and spend most of the day at home and have more than enough time to care for your furry friend. I have a nice sized house with a fence for dogs to run and play I also have a nice neighborhood to go on walks.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide reliable walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets happy and comfortable. Safety, routine, and positive reinforcement are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra exercise, medication, or quiet companionship. Your pet will be treated like family :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have open availability to provide flexible and reliable care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays throughout the week. In the future, my schedule will shift to three days a week, but I will always keep my availability updated and communicate clearly in advance. My goal is to remain dependable and consistent so pets can maintain their routines without disruption. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I make sure the home is kept clean and secure, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so clients have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Lesly was fantastic and took great care of my pup. He was always so happy when she would show up to take him for a walk. Top notch and would highly recommend.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Virginia surrounded by cows, horses, wild animals, and beloved pets — including the long-haired mini black and tan dachshunds we bred, trained, and raised. Starting at age 9, I helped birth litters of both puppies and kittens, and went on to train two mini dachshunds of my own using intermittent reinforcement (no small feat with such a stubborn-but-brilliant breed!). I cared for them throughout their entire lives. Beyond my own animals, I have years of experience caring for and training friends’ dogs and cats. While this is my first time on Rover, my hands-on experience with animals goes back decades. I’m available for boarding, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I live in a townhouse in NE DC with a private backyard where pups can play and a great neighborhood for walks. I’d love to help care for your furry family member — don’t hesitate to reach out! Working part time, that means I have more time to take care of pups! Love walks and bringing a dog along to have some fun. The most important part about care is to listen to the pet parent and learn all the peculiarities about their special family member and treat them with the kindness and care that will keep them happy when you return home with no messes to deal with!
About: My husband and I grew up with dogs and have had a dog together for 8 years. We have experience training dogs and caring for a range of breeds and levels of need. We recently bought a house with a fenced-in yard and figured our dog would like some new friends! We are educators so we work throughout the week until summer break when we will be home throughout the day. We look forward to meeting your pup and caring for them like they’re our own! We are both in education, so we are currently working throughout the week but are free on the weekends or can care for dogs that are used to being home. We do have a dog of our own to keep others company while we are away. During summer break, we will be home all day every day to care for your dog! We have a house in a quiet area with a large fenced-in yard that your dog will love to run around in. We also have a dog of our own who loves to make new friends and play. We have experience as dog owners for 8 years, and we are comfortable with any care needs as a result. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home!
About: I’ve taken care of various types of dogs. When I was in elementary, I would walk the dogs of my neighbors. I would come to them and take their dogs for a walk and to have some free time. Pet care as far as dog walking and feeding fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I am a college student, so my schedule is hectic. I would be able to utilize the time between classes to care and provide for these beautiful dogs I may have the pleasure of meeting. I care for pets by trying to be as empathic as possible. Of course I would care for pets within the parameters of the dogs’ owners. I would ask myself what I need or want if I was a dog. I would take this into account and tend to the dogs needs.
“Sam is completely reliable. He wrote informative and lengthy descriptions of each walk. He also clearly cared a lot about our dog’s happiness. We have used Sam before and would use him again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 as well as my own. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and all temperaments. I am always open to spending time with your dog if you are away and can give them the play time and active time that they need. I am on the job search, so my days are pretty much free. I would be able to be with your dog for as much time as needed to play, walk, cuddle, and hang out. Outside time would be walks and backyard/dog park (if applicable). I can crate if needed and I always make sure the leash/harness is on correctly for safety and comfort.
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I've always had cats of my own. I have cared for many of my friends’ pets while they are away. For many years I had friends for whom I used to dog-sit and cat-sit in their home. They had two cats and two dogs--medium size, collie mix and lab mix, dogs. I have experience walking the dogs, feeding, taking to vet appointments. I have experience walking and caring for my in-laws dogs (golden retrievers and springer spaniels). I am energetic and love playing with cats and dogs. I’m currently working from home (9 to five) so am available throughout the day and evenings and weekends. I’m happy to walk dogs as needed throughout the day. I can host or do over night stays. I have a fenced backyard, though note there are a flight of stairs to get down to the backyard. It is small with some bushes and trees and a paved patio. I enjoy walking (as many times as needed per day) and there many grassy areas near by. I don’t have an issue with dogs in the sofa or beds.

“Jennifer was a great help and made sure to give Cricket the best experience - she took the pup for an extensive walk and sent photos along the way. She made sure that Cricket was well hydrated after too, given the heat. I’m sure Cricket will want to see Jennifer a lot more!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chillum
Kymberlee is a gem. Starting with our meet-and-greet we could tell how kind and comfortable she is with dogs and what a wonderfully warm and upbeat person she is. She has stayed at our home to care for Bax while we were away and has also walked him when we were gone for the day. It is clear from the many photos Kymberlee sent us and our email communications that she gives him fun and cuddle times and makes sure he gets enough exercise. In addition, she left our house clean and neat. We will continue to have Kymberlee care for our guy anytime we are away.
Tyler Jade was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and made the entire experience easy and stress free. I really appreciated her care and flexibility, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!
Shahnaz was amazing! She was so kind and flexible, making a last minute booking easy and stress free. I really appreciated her willingness to accommodate my needs and provide such wonderful service. I would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!
Madison was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly accommodating and came through for a last minute dog walk, which I truly appreciated. She was responsive, reliable, and so helpful. I would definitely recommend Madison to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!
I cannot even begin to thank Alex enough he truly saved me today. I’ve been sick and slept through my alarms it was just a terrible start and delayed day for me. Then rover sent him an old address and he had to walk back home and drive to the correct address. Throughout it all he was reassuring, kind and patient. If anyone needs a dog walker, this is your guy. I am eternally grateful for him today! 🥹
Arvand was an incredible person to work with. Unfortunately, there was a mishap because our Rover address was outdated, which caused Arvand to commute to SW instead of NW (where we currently live). Despite this inconvenience, he remained incredibly understanding and accommodating, ensuring that our request was still fulfilled while we were preoccupied with wedding preparations. I highly recommend Arvand for any pet-related services.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
