“Sarah was amazing with Miso! Dropped by every day and gave my sweet girl all the attention she deserved. She also took some amazing pictures of her to send to me! Will definitely book again next time I’m out of town. Thanks Sarah 🫶🏽”
“Cindy was responsive for our last minute request! She always takes great pictures and provides updates. We were so grateful for the help! Our pups love seeing her”
“Hayley was amazing! Arrived early/on time and took lots of pictures. We asked for help on short notice and she delivered! We came home to a happy dog and cat. Will definitely use her again!”
“This was the first time I used Rover and someone I did not know to take care of my dog. Sydni did more than take care of my pup, she took care of my worries. She was so thoughtful in the texts. Matrix was beyond happy. I would use her anytime. It was easy to meet with her, and she kept me updated twice a day on how he was. She cut the walks short if it was too hot outside, considered how he might react with the fireworks, just incredibly caring.”
“Marion was so generous while checking on our cats during the holidays. She gave them extra love and attention above and beyond what we expected! We came home to very happy cats that were almost disappointed it was us walking in the door rather than her! Thank you so much, Marion!!”
About: I have years of experience walking, feeding, and taking care of dogs, even puppies! My priority is to keep your fur babies safe and happy I have open availability. I am a college student that is home for summer break, meaning I am available any time of day, everyday, even on weekends. I will care for your pet, however I am told to do so. I will make sure fences and crates are used if told to do so. I just want your pet to be happy and safe.
“Anton was great with my two kitties. Hey played with them everyday and sent lots of pictures. It was really easy to communicate with him all week. I would definitely use him again. One of our cats is usually shy, but after the first day we saw pictures of the cat hanging out with Anton.”
“Neesa came to our meet and greet with prepared questions! Our anxious dog immediately warmed up to her, and she was able to read his body language easily. She sent plenty of cute videos and pictures during her drop ins!”
About: I grew up with dogs and as a teenager assisted walking our dogs and foster dogs of varying sizes. I also know how to take care of cats. I've worked at dog boarding facilities where I've taken care of unfamiliar dogs. I can work Friday to Sunday any time and mornings during the week days due to other responsibilities such as taking care of my own pets Monday to Thursday. I trust in my ability to handle any dog under 40 pounds. I am willing to walk well behaved dogs from the same household together. I would be uncomfortable handling large pully or reactive dogs but can handle calm or heel trained dogs up to 70 lbs.
“Teffni did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby Ollie, daily updates shared happy playtime & loving scratches during her visits. She even indulged him with his balcony time (mid winter in DC) and his secret love of drinking from the bathroom sink ! My apartment was well looked after and pet items kept neat and well stocked for his needs. Thank you so much for loving him in my absence!”
“Jazzel was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was punctual, informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Jazzel. I will definitely work with her in the future.”
About: I'm excited to have your furry friend over and will give them all the TLC they deserve while sticking to their regular schedules. I've been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of our family dog, Lucky, since he was a puppy up until he passed away due to old age at 17 years. I now have a 6 year old Shiba Inu, Sumi, and a 10 year old cat, Ellie. Sumi was a rescue mill mama and was extremely fearful. With patience and love, she's finally come out of her shell. I've managed to teach both the dog and the cat tricks and work on training with them daily. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am home most of the day. I'll stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to so there won't be any confusion when they return to you. Our neighborhood is pretty large and also has a walking trail, so walks can be as short or long as you'd like. There's a dog friendly space downstairs with plenty of room to run around and play with toys, or if they prefer to chill, there's plenty of pet beds and blankets in the living room. I have a very chill and friendly Shiba Inu and Husky/Shepherd mix at home that can keep your dog company. I do have a cat that has their own room and can be separated if your dog doesn't get along with cats. I also have a large crate and two pens available if that's something you're used to doing. Baby gates are set up between each floor, but are usually left open for my dog. There are cameras on each floor so that I can keep an eye on the pets if I'm leaving the home or on a different floor.
About: My passion for pet care began in 2019 while I was a senior in high school, when I started walking my neighbor’s dog after classes during my half-day schedule. What started as a simple after-school routine quickly grew into a career working with animals full time. From 2022–2024, I worked professionally with Heart and Home Pets, LLC in Silver Spring, where I cared for 15–20 repeat clients on a regular basis. My experience includes dog walking, play groups, house sitting, and caring for pets with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and physical needs. I’m comfortable working with energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy or anxious pets, and multi-pet households. I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners, and I always strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I work a full time day job from 8-5, so for dogs that are used to being alone during the day, i can pet sit any day of the week! Weekends are the only times I can accommodate dogs who require closer care. Before beginning any pet care service, I prefer to meet both owners and pets at least 24 hours in advance. This helps pets become familiar with me and allows me to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs ahead of time. I always appreciate a walkthrough of the home, including where everyday pet care items are kept such as food, leashes, litter supplies, medications, cleaning products, and any comfort items your pet uses regularly. I also ask pet parents to leave written instructions that include feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, emergency contacts, and any other important details about their pet’s care — even small things that help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. For overnight stays, I ask that clean linens and towels be made available. I’m always happy to tidy up after myself and will gladly change bedsheets before leaving your home. My goal is to provide dependable, respectful care for both your pets and your living space so you can travel with peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life—I was always the one begging my parents to take in every stray I found 🐾 I’m currently a nursing student, so I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and focused on safety. I also have a prior military background, which has taught me discipline, reliability, and consistency in everything I do. I’m very active and love running, so I’m great for high-energy dogs who need walks and exercise, while also being calm and patient with cats and more relaxed pets. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention, and keeping you updated with pictures so you always know your pet is happy and safe. My schedule varies with school during the week, but I’m available outside of those days, along with mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I also have occasional required skills hours, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs 🐾 During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care based on their personality—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company. I always prioritize safety by ensuring secure leashing, clean water, and a safe environment before leaving. I also provide regular updates with pictures so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away 🥰
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and know how to take care of them. I’ve had a dog of my own until he passed away recently. The care and safety of your pets is my top priority. I believe in effective communication, so I will try my best to keep you updated throughout the process. I follow all my clients’ instructions and preferences, so you don’t have to worry about your home while you’re away; I make sure everything is locked up, treat your belongings with respect, and leave your home just as you left it so you can come back without extra stress, especially knowing how exhausting travel can be. I work fully remote so I work from home, so I can pack up and stay in your home whenever I'm available. I tend to adapt my daily schedule around my new roommates' schedules, so they don't get stressed out by the situation. I can also be of assistance for drop-in visits and for walking service. I work currently from Sunday to Tuesday so from Wednesday to Saturday I’m available to take care of your pets in whatever need they may have. I am unable to care for your pets at my home since my apartment doesn’t allow pets. Thank you for understanding. However I’m willing and able to care for them at your home.
“Oliver was great! They took care of all my cats’ needs, communicated solidly, and sent pics of them playing that helped soothe the pain of being away from my beloveds lol. It is such a relief to go away and know that my babies will be taken care of! I’d love to book again in the future :)”
“This is my second time booking with Ruby. As always, she did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was out of town. She also took some precautions due to Covid, which I appreciated.”
Colesville cat parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley did an amazing job caring for our cat. She provided detailed daily updates and pictures of our cat during her visits. We appreciated the consistent communication and felt she was very reliable. Ashley was also flexible with scheduling - we had to shorten our trip at the beginning and she was accommodating and came instead an extra time throughout the time we were gone. We can tell she had a gentle and caring approach with our cat, and understood what the cat needed. We’re grateful for it all!
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Elona! She took care of our senior cat for a week, and the level of attention and care she provided was truly above and beyond. She diligently administered his anxiety and arthritis medications, kept all four of his water bowls fresh daily, played with his favorite toy to keep him happy, and even took the time to talk to him so he never felt alone. Our cat can be a handful with his special needs, but Elona handled everything with ease and genuine love. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet like family!
Betty took great care of our two cats. She also did a great job communicating, letting us know if she was going to be a bit late to a check-in and even sending pictures of proof of cleaning the litter boxes 🙂. She also made friends with our less social cat, which was wonderful to see!
