“Rodrigo and Luna were wonderful partners for my dog Cooper when we needed help with day care! We really appreciated Rodrigo’s flexibility in scheduling and look forward to sending Cooper to visit again soon.”
“Pat was so accommodating with a last minute scheduling need. Hobie loved him, and it was great to get updates from Pat throughout the day. I’d love to have him watch Hobie again soon!”
“Wally loved staying there and Claire was wonderful with him. She was very responsive in terms of communication and was willing to meet up once before our stay as a meet and greet to make sure he was okay!”
“Max takes great care of my dog, Jax. He is responsive and sends updates throughout the day. He always takes Jax out to enrich his day, and even arranges play dates with other dogs for him. Jax is typically weary of new people but gets excited whenever he sees Max now. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“We found Mac on Rover and connected based on tremendous reviews for doggy daycare. Mac is outside awaiting Keely’s arrival each morning, takes her on nice walks, and communicates well with us and our varying pick-up times in the afternoon. Keely knows the name “Mac” after just one week and is so happy at morning drop off. We are thrilled with the time and attention Mac provides for Keely!”
“Asma is our senior anxious dog’s new bff! He’s always very happy and healthy when we pick him up, and Asma is a true professional - communicative, prompt, and friendly!”
“Second time using Erika for daycare- she is great! My puppy likes her and had fun playing with the other pups! Will definitely use her services again!”
“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”

“Matty has been very communicative, flexible, friendly, and most importantly great with Teddy Bear :) Best of all, he came highly recommended by people in whom I have complete confidence with regard to Teddy Bear's care, so I was able to have total peace of mind when I dropped Ted with him for the first time. Thank you, Matty!”
About: I’ve owned all different kinds of pets, from birds to snakes, to rabbits and ferrets. I love meeting all different sorts of animals, they’re amazing! I can make time for any pet job I accept, can make my current job fit around my schedule so they can always have attention I treat pets like just another member of the family, because they are, always with respect for the animal at all times, and always have fresh water available
About: Me and my roommate both grew up with dogs and love getting to play and care for them. We love to go on walks and stay active and what better than a furry friend to join us. We live close to dog parks and have a fenced in yard in our place. Our building is dog friendly and we both miss our dogs so giving love to others will make us feel the joy we have when we are with our dogs. I work till 3:30 pm and my roommate works from home so there is always someone to keep our furry friends company. We usually like to go get our steps in and taking a furry friend is even better. We have a fenced yard and dog park nearby. We also have no toxic materials or food laying around the house. Our building is secured and we have all that is needed to take care of a furry friend.
“Marc was awesome!! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and reactivity and he took those issues in stride and followed our instructions. Also super professional and provided updates.”
“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”
Columbia Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Couldn't say good enough things but knew it was kosher when my dog who hates every second away from me saw Meryl night 2 from a city block away and pulled me all the way to her. She's a kind genuine dog lover and couldn't be happier to have receiver her help. From me and Little thanks for making our trip even more special.
Sanaz (along with her partner Marty and Franklin the doggo) were wonderful dogsitters for Dimi! During rhe 8 hours he stayed over, he enjoyed exploring their home and playing with Franklin and lazing on the couch when he was tired! He also appreciated the walks, treats, snuggles, and generous sharing of squeaky toys that Franklin had no interest in. His first dogsitting experience was a true success because of Sanaz’s kindness and attention to detail.
Ranger had a nice time with Dylan and Jessica! Ranger was bossy with Dylan in the beginning but Dylan knew exactly how to handle so they became fast friends within a few minutes . Ranger found a favorite chair at their place and relaxed for most of the day :)
We had such a great experience with Diedre! From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. My dogs were well cared for and genuinely happy, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious they were treated with so much love and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Diedre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.
Kathleen was so patient with me and my dog, Drogo! She was thoughtful about making sure they were the right fit for each other through a trial day and has since been very flexible with my ever changing schedule! I get photos of cuddles and receive a smiling, happy pup every evening. Will be utilizing her for day care often going forward!
Amir was fantastic! He responded very quickly and was able to accommodate a same-day booking, which I really appreciated. Nandi was comfortable and well cared for during the stay — Amir shared photos and videos, keeping me updated throughout. It was clear that Nandi got lots of walks and exercise. I’ll definitely be booking with Amir again!
Cassidy was a perfect caregiver for Ziggy! Fenced in yard, wonderful resident pup, and a house full of toys and cozy places to lay. She kept me updated all day with pictures of Ziggy—looks like he settled right in and was immediately attached to Cassidy! We will definitely be bringing Ziggy back soon.
My dog broke his collar and Rodrigo was kind enough to replace it, asking nothing in return. Gave updates on how my dog was doing, and was extremely kind and respectful throughout the entire process. I will definitely be requesting him again in the future.
