“Josefa was wonderful with our dog Toby (mini schnauzer, 8 yrs old, 30 lbs) when she looked after him for the day. She was so warm, welcoming, communicative, and made sure that Toby was comfortable while in her care. Toby was super relaxed when we picked him up, which is a great sign. We're so glad to have found Josefa and will absolutely reach out again for doggy day care. Highly recommended! :)”

“Aaron & Paweena were great and accommodated me so last minute! My sweet boy can be a bit nervous at first when it comes to settling in but he had such a great day and was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day! I came back to him chewing on a treat they gave him & he barely acknowledged me picking him up lol this won’t be my last time booking!”

About: I have grown up with dogs from a young kid and they have always been a constant in my life. My kids always had at least 2 dogs in the house and even though they are gone, I still loving pets around. I specifically like to take care of small to medium dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that are house trained. I am very excited to start this journey on Rover and meet and take care of your dogs. I am retired and am at home full-time which gives me the availability to fully cater to your dogs. I like to go on walks in my neighbourhood and spend time in my fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in backyard with plent of room to play and run around. I also have a very walkable neighbourhood and have an extra room for your pet to have their space.
About: We welcome your pet into our home and will accommodate their needs. Dogs will be housed between our Garden apartment and the upstairs kitchen both of which have direct access to the backyard with plenty of roaming and playtime. Cats are lodged in the rest of the house where there is ample climbing and playtime. Pick-up and drop-off may be available based on availability. Cost based on travel time. Grooming may also be availability upon advanced request. Mother/daughter team will make sure to provide the best care and attention and follow individual instruction for care. We are home most of the time to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy! Your pet is invited to join us in our home. Dogs are lodged in the kitchen and/or garden apartment with direct backyard access. Human sleeps in apt when dogs are here. Cats are lodged upstairs and we can accommodate depending on their own needs and personality. It is also helpful to have their crate and/or bed so they have a familiar space and can get some respite from other cats if needed.

“I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.”

“WOW! for our hyper-attached dog's first 1/2 day with Angela, we are so impressed! When we picked Skippy up, I had to throw a treat to lure her away from Angela 🥳 Then Skippy wanted to walk a bit on Angela's street and afterward Skippy went to Angela's gate instead of to our car. That behavior speaks volumes about Skippy's comfort level with Angela. Angela appears to have a very calming influence on Skippy 🥰 Thank you, Angela!”

“Jasmin looked after our dog Toby for the day, and did a wonderful job of sending sweet pictures throughout his stay. Toby can be skittish around larger dogs, and she did a great job of keeping him apart and comfortable (while also making friends with her Frenchie!) :)”

“Stephanie and Shawn are amazing! They’re an incredibly warm and hospitable family with three amazing pets that my beagle seemed to love. I felt that my pup was incredibly safe and comfortable, 15/10!”

About: Based in Petworth/Brightwood Park in NW DC, I am a lifelong animal lover and professional pet care provider with 15+ years of experience. I founded my own dog walking business in DC in 2009 and have built a loyal client base on one thing: treating every dog like my own. Experienced with all sizes and temperaments, I maintain my own professional liability insurance for your peace of mind. I share my home with two miniature pinschers of my own, so I understand what it means to leave a dog you love in someone else's hands. I work remotely, which means I am home and attentive throughout the day. Boarding dogs are never left alone for extended periods. They get regular outdoor time in our fully fenced yard, midday walks, and plenty of attention morning, afternoon, and evening. I require a meet-and-greet prior to all first-time bookings. Please reach out at least 5 to 7 days before your requested stay. Returning clients are welcome to book with 48 hours' notice. For holiday weekends, I recommend reaching out 2 to 3 weeks in advance as spots fill quickly. Pickup and drop off are available upon request for an additional fee. Please message me with your location for a quote. I serve clients in Northwest DC and surrounding neighborhoods. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. Boarding guests have a dedicated first-floor living space with access to a large deck and a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time throughout the day. I maintain my own professional liability insurance for added peace of mind. My home is dog-proof and calm. I do not overbook, keeping the number of guests small so every dog gets individualized attention. I provide regular photo and message updates throughout every stay, so you always know your pup is happy and well cared for.
“I felt very confident my dog was being very well-looked after. Cassidy sent me frequent photos and updates and seemed very happy to have my dog. I will definitely contact Cassidy the next time I need daycare of boarding.”

“Michael is always reliable, this my second rover experience with michael and he’s always on top of communication, sending me photos of sevyn, asking any questions he might have. He’s honestly been such a big help on days I need someone to take care of sevyn even if it’s last minute”

About: Hi there! I'm a dog-mom of an energetic boxer, Gus. Gus is my first dog, but from a young age, I always walked dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I had over 4 years of experience with doggy roommates. I have experiences with many different personalities and sizes so I'm very comfortable with them. I am very active and love taking long walks or light jogs, just like your pup! Gus is also an excellent walking buddy who is good on the leash. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so it's very easy for me to pop out before work, lunchtime, it after work to take a long walk. If it helps lighten the load when packing, I havethe following items already: Extra dog beds Dog bowls including a slow feeder Toys Feel free to pack these items if course if they will make your pup happier to have their own. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so it's very easy for me to pop out before work, lunchtime, it after work to take a long walk. I will walk them in the neighborhood and will avoid busy streets. I also don't introduce them to other dogs while walking them to avoid any accidental negative greetings in my care.
“Taurus was great. Highly recommend. He’s communicative throughout the process. He suggested and then we easily arranged a meet and greet before he sat the dog. Great service”

“I would like to say thank you to Christian well my first time using Rover and helping me feel comfortable with my fur baby saying with her. She did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures letting me know what’s going on and making this days feel so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anybody and using her in the future, thank you so much.”

“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”

“We love Shantell! She’s become our go-to dog sitter. So sweet, great communication, great photos, flexible, kind. Leo bounds up to her door and always comes home relaxed and like he had a great day.”

Chillum dog parents share their Rover experiences
Holly was absolutely amazing with Stella! Stella can be incredibly nervous in new environments, but Holly showed so much patience and gentle care to help her settle in. She truly went above and beyond to make Stella feel safe, comfortable, and loved. It is incredible to find someone who understands anxious dogs so well. We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!

Zachary and Christina are the best kept secret in DC. I tried a few other dog sitters when I moved to the area and none are as attentive. My picky dog loves going over and I’m quickly ignored as he scampers inside. They send phenomenal pictures and videos throughout the stay and my guy looks playful and happy in each one, another great sign of these thoughtful sitters.

Chanelle has been walking my beagle since February. She is dependable, personable and Poppy looks forward to their walks. I have since engaged her for daycare and this summer she will be boarding for 10 days. I am so happy that I have found Chanelle to help care for my dog. I highly recommend her.

Michael is always reliable, this my second rover experience with michael and he’s always on top of communication, sending me photos of sevyn, asking any questions he might have. He’s honestly been such a big help on days I need someone to take care of sevyn even if it’s last minute

Rita was absolutely amazing with my dog, Natalie! Natalie can be reactive and typically needs time to adjust to new environments and people, but Rita went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to really understand Natalie’s needs, triggers, and what makes her happy, which made such a difference. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and keeping me reassured the entire time. It’s clear Rita genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort, and because of that, Natalie had a great experience. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Rita!
