“Erin stayed with our golden retriever, Harvey, for two weekends in the past month. We’ve never used rover before and we were a little nervous, but Erin was so great with him and sent us lots of updates. She also was very thoughtful of our space! (I.e washing the sheets and towels, making the bed, running the dishwasher, leaving the space clean). Would definitely recommend!”

“Briana was fabulous! Both my cat and dog are picky eaters and Briana got them to eat. She was patient and conscientious. Originally we had booked her to just cat-sit, but our plans for our dog fell through and she gladly took on the challenge of taking care of our diabetic dog, insulin shots and all. We are so thankful for her!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we found a great sitter with Sarah! From the meet and greet, she had a good connection with our two dogs and from the photos we received during the trip, we could tell the boys were having a good time. House was left in great condition and we will definitely look to book with her again when needed. Highly recommend!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn. It’s so great to have someone take care of my fur baby and my house while I’m out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”


“Katherine was great with my dog! My dog has separation anxiety and she enjoyed her time while Katherine looked after her :) She came by in advance to meet my dog, which was greatly appreciated.”

“Kendra did a great job with our dog Winter, who can be a little nervous in new situations. She communicated well and sent frequent updates and pictures. She even left a custom dog treat and note for Winter. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Wonderful communication and took great care of our dog and cat. They loved her and we are so grateful to have been able to be away with all so well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Emerson was very communicative and shared regular photos of the pets, which I enjoy. He was also very helpful with some unexpected mail deliveries and minor house issues as well.”


“Robert was super accommodating for a short-notice weekend with my pups & cat. He was super communicative and took great care of them all! Would highly recommend Robert!”

“Grace had a great stay with my critters, Billie (dog) and Bill Murray (cat)!!! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous to entrust my pets with a stranger, but Grace spent an hour with us during the "Meet & Greet" and took the time to walk with us around the neighborhood. That really put me at ease! She notified me right away as things came up, and checked in each day with pictures and videos. My dog has a difficult time with other dogs and Grace was able to re-direct her to keep her safe. This time of year is always tough, too. My neighborhood was covered in a sheet of ice, followed by a blanket of snow a few days later. Grace braved the weather and kept the pets on their routine. When I got back, everything was clean and in it's place, and the neighbors only had nice things to say after meeting her! She followed instructions to a tee and the pets were as happy as could be with mom gone for a week. I've already booked her for my next trip :) Thanks, Grace!!!”

“Carolina did amazing with our pup for an overnight sitting. She communicated well and shared plenty of updates. She even went above and beyond to clean up dog dishes, etc. We're so thankful for her service and look forward to working with her more in the future!”

“Emily was great with our 9 month old Aussie mix. He has tons of energy which requires multiple play sessions per day as well as mental stimulation. Emily was able to do all of those things and help Earth adjust to us being gone for a few days. She always responded with info on how Earth was doing when I asked for updates. Our home was in perfect shape when we arrived home as well. I would love to have Emily watch Earth again in the future and would be comfortable with her watching him knowing all his needs can be met despite being a high energy pup.”


“Sofia is very sweet and respectful. She communicates well, and cares about your pets. She sent pictures and kept me up to date on what was going on. She gave meds on time and sat with the pugs to comfort them. I will definitely want to have her stay anytime we have to leave our babies home.”

“I highly recommend Olivia as a sitter. She was great with my dog Ash. She communicates often and is quick to reply to messages and is very professional. She sent photos and multiple daily updates. Thanks for taking care of my dog!”

“Connie was an absolute pleasure! She is so caring and personable. She took care of our Lola, who is a senior girl that required love and affection because her mama wasn’t there. Connie took such good care of her. Even shared some of her lunch when I told her that Lola wasn’t eating her treats or dog food.(after checking with me first). We cannot say enough good things about her. She sent us pictures and videos of Lola, providing extra reassurance that our little girl was doing ok Connie is a very genuine and respectful person. I would definitely use Connie again and whole heartedly recommend her to my family and friends!”

“Seeley took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. She sent lots of updates and pictures to make sure we knew everything was going well. We will definitely work with her again in the future!”

Columbia Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Olivia was fabulous! This was the first time we went through this app to have someone watch our dogs and I was nervous to be honest but Olivia eased all of my anxiety. She did frequent check ins on how the dogs were doing, when it was a hot day she asked about doing a shorter walk so the dogs didn’t get too hot and our fur babies absolutely loved her! If your dogs mean the world to you, Olivia is a great person to care for them!

Emily was an amazing care taker for my dogs. They are a little extra, like most dogs are lol. And she took good care of them and all their quirks. She communicated often, sent photos and videos and walked and cuddled them like they were her own. I recommend her for the care of your fur babies and hope to have her again in my home to stay with Otis and Myla 🐶❤️

Finding dog care is usually stressful in itself for us. But a family emergency required us to leave town on relatively short notice, that stress was multiplied. I work from home so our two dogs are used to having someone around most of the time. One is also a bit high-maintenance—slow to warm up to strangers, needs medication, requires frequent potty breaks, and has some incontinence issues (diapers!) due to said meds. Stephanie made the experience as worry-free as possible. She responded quickly to our booking request, and her calm, confident demeanor during the initial meet-and-greet immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she provided frequent updates and photos, giving us peace of mind that our dogs were in great hands. We came home to a clean house and two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I truly appreciated Stephanie’s care and professionalism during a difficult time for our family. While the cost of having someone stay in your home can sometimes feel like a luxury, she gave us one less thing to worry about when we needed it most—and made her stay worth every penny.

Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!

Sofia is very sweet and respectful. She communicates well, and cares about your pets. She sent pictures and kept me up to date on what was going on. She gave meds on time and sat with the pugs to comfort them. I will definitely want to have her stay anytime we have to leave our babies home.

Jennifer was amazing with our two dogs, Lady and Rex. This was actually our second time having her watch them, and she was just as incredible as the first! She stepped in on short notice and made everything so easy for us. Her communication is truly top-tier, we got daily updates and photos, which made it so comforting knowing our pups were happy, loved, and in such great hands. She also left our home spotless, which is always such a thoughtful touch. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and will absolutely continue to book with her. Highly recommend! 🐾💛
