“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”

“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”

“Kind, accommodating and extremely gentle. My dog misses her instantly and she will always be the person to care for him. She sends pictures and videos and truly is remarkable. Highly recommended”

“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”

“Madina was great! She was able to watch my dog last minute/same day. She was prompt with her communications and took wonderful care of Nova for the day. We would definitely book her again.”

“Luiz and Lidia were great with Rolo! They kept us updated throughout the day with lots of photos and gave us a thoughtful summary of how his day went. We really appreciated their care and communication and would happily book with them again!”

“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and am typically available to host your pets on Fridays after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends. I am happy to provide reliable and attentive care throughout your pet’s stay and accommodate their individual needs while you are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. My goal is to provide a positive and stress free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that I will treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring their needs are met and they feel loved and cared for at all times.

“It was so easy to communicate with Amanda - quick responses to my messages and we are all set for a meet and greet, then she looked after Daisy today. She has a really cute ground level apartment right next to the Ballston Commons, and it has access to a fenced in shared yard for bathroom breaks. Daisy takes a moment to warm up to new people, but she quickly befriended Amanda and it took some effort when I came to pick her up to get Daisy to leave her curled up spot on the couch next to Amanda. ❣️. I'm so happy to have found a good Rover daycare sitter and will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”

“Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!”

“I feel like my dog is in very good hands with Yulia. She really cares about the dogs in her care and also the owners. I loved getting pictures to see how my dog, Trooper, was getting along with the other dogs and having fun.”

“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”

About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
“Mochi had the best time at camp with her auntie and uncle and friend Ricky 🐾. Great communication and nice hosts. Thank you! Mochi can’t wait for her next camp day!”

“Corina was great! Really responsive and great to work with. She took great care of our dog Nina. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She took Nina out on several walks during the day and even worked on training her new tricks. My dog just loved her and I can tell she was well taken care of.”

“Keith and Jessica were very responsive and so sweet! We had a meet and greet before I dropped Charlie off to stay with them for a day and I could tell they just love having dogs around. I’m so glad I could take him to such a kind and caring home!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up with cats and other small pets, have owned dogs myself, and have cared for both dogs and cats for friends, family, and pet-sitting clients. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I work full-time remotely, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and pet sitting depending on the day, including evenings and weekends. Since I work from home, I can also spend plenty of time with pets staying with me rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like my own and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, boundaries, and individual needs and will always follow your feeding, walking, medication, or other care instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority, and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while they’re with me.
“We met Linda, Leo and Fred and instantly felt at ease! She was so warm, kind and genuine. Leo and Fred were both welcoming and friendly towards Pinot. They played so well and Pinot was well taken care of. Thank you!!!”

So grateful that Haley was not only able to accommodate a last minute request but also took amazing care of my puppy, Izzy. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and videos and Izzy clearly enjoyed her time there! I highly recommend Haley as a sitter to anyone in the Court House/Clarendon area.

Gianna is awesome! She took great care of my rambunctious 20 month old pittie, Eddie. He got several walks, hung out on her patio, and snuggled on her sofa watching Dog TV. Gianna sends adorable photos throughout the day. I’m definitely going to continue to use her for daycare.

We always have a great experience booking with Michel. Our rescue pup struggles with us leaving, but with patience and kindness, he settles in well with Michel. She is very responsive and asks questions to know our preferences (e.g., with treat giving). We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.

Nyla and Corey took excellent care of my pets while I was visiting my brother in Alexandria. They were able to accommodate a last minute request due to an unforeseen work situation I was in. Corey was able to pick up my pups and bring them home which was a huge help, as I am not very familiar with the DC Metro area in addition to the horrific traffic. They sent me photos during the day to let me know how my dogs were doing, which was great as I am a helicopter pet parent. What began as a last minute doggy day care issue became a blessing as I will always utilize Corey and Nyla in the future when visiting my brother in Alexandria. I should also mention that I have a bossy female toy poodle Lu and a mini Aussie puppy Finn. They are both well trained but get super excited being around new people and Finn needs mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. They both came home to me happy and sleepy, I know that Finn would not be sleepy if he did not get the stimulation that he needs especially at this stage of his life. Thank you, Corey and Nyla! I appreciate you both so much and would give you more than 5 stars if I could! I will be a repeat customer, hopefully not last minute next time! Thanks again for caring for my babies!

This was Augie’s first time spending time away from us with strangers and Marie was very welcoming and seemed to understand dogs and Augie felt at home. Marie also had a good size enclosed yard. She communicated and responded to my texts about on how he was doing. I would use her again, if I was traveling through Washington DC.
