“Aaron stayed with Albert for the night and took great care of both Albert and the house! He sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I knew Albert was in good hands while we were gone, and we would definitely ask them to stay with Albert again. Thank you so much!!”
“Caris took excellent care of my high energy cat! She was quick to respond to my messages and sent regular updates and pictures. Caris left my house in great shape and most importantly, my cat was happy/well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend booking Caris!”

“Kymberlee was great! It was our first time leaving Bella for this long and we were nervous. She provided regular updates, sent pictures, and kept Bella company the whole time we were gone. And the place was cleaner when we got back then when we left it! Will absolutely be calling Kymberlee in the future!!”
“Erin was very communicative, responsible and clean. We have an extremely nervous pup and she treated him with patience and kindness—everything that he needed. Will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Jayme is a great house and cat sitter for us. He’s very communicative and conscientious. We love getting multiple photo updates of our beloved pet, who has completely accepted Jayme into his life haha. And we appreciate Jayme’s tidiness in the house.”

“Corie did an amazing job dog and house sitting. She was great at communicating. My dog was very comfortable the whole time. I came home to happy healthy dog.”

“Adelia was extremely communicative and provided updates on Mookie throughout her stay. She was great about maintaining his everyday routine, including managing his separation anxiety medication. I’d highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Lauren is reliable and has great communication. She is very sweet with our senior dog and takes excellent care of her. She is also a clean and respectful house guest. We really appreciate her and highly recommend her.”


“I could not have asked for a better sitter! From the beginning, Beto was communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. He followed all of my instructions to the letter and asked clarifying questions that made it clear he cared about the wellbeing of my dog. He sent multiple photos, videos, and updates every day, and even went above and beyond by going to multiple stores to find the best new leash for my dog when she chewed through her old one. When I told him that my bed frame had broken right before he arrived, he offered to put the new one together for a very fair price (and he did a great job)! At the end of the visit he left me a nice card and a very cute printed photo of my dog. The peace of mind Beto provided while I was away was invaluable, and I would recommend him to anyone!”

“Thank you, Halle for your kindness and patience with my sweet boy. Thank you for being so on top of things and for all the updates ! You made me feel at ease all day knowing rock was well cared for :) Definitely will use again and recommend!!”

“Trisha watched our two dogs for 10 days and things could not not have been smoother. She sent daily pics and videos, and the dogs were clearly having a ball with her. Despite our two very messy dogs, Trisha had the house spotless when we returned. We definitely hope to book her services again when we travel.”


“Gabrielle was the perfect housesitter for our dog. They met with us ahead of time to walk through the house and meet our dog, showed up on time, gave frequent updates, walked our dog regularly, took fantastic care of our house and cleaned up after themselves, and were extremely communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would definitely work with Gabrielle again and highly recommend them to others.”

“Katelyn did an amazing job with our pups! Very responsive, organized and great with the dogs. Highly recommend her! Will definitely have her back again.”

“Alex was great with our puppy, Jovie! He was very communicative from the inquiry, to meet and greet, and throughout his stay with Jovie. Alex kept our puppy on schedule and we came home to a happily sleeping pup! Highly recommend Alex for any of your pet care needs!”

“Stephanie did a wonderful job of caring for our pup while we were away. She took great care in following his routine and keeping in touch, even sending funny narrated videos of his play. We are extremely grateful for Stephanie’s professionalism and ease with animals and would recommend her most highly.”

“John was fantastic! He was very attentive to the directions we gave him and made sure their routines were not disrupted. He also gave timely updates and has a knack for animal photography. John was also very responsive via text. Our dog and cat look forward to the next time my wife and I are out of town!”

“Savina did a great job with our dog Rosie! Rosie has pretty intense separation anxiety and Savina was super understanding and gave us great, detailed updates and pictures throughout our trip.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their Needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is always to give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)
Columbia Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brenda stayed at our place and took great care of our cat while we were away. She communicated daily and provided updates and photos and I could tell she was sweet with him and he warmed up to her despite his shy nature. I could tell Brenda has a lot of experience with pets, and she was very diligent with our home and thoughtful in her communication.

John was once again a great sitter for Hermione. He followed all of our instructions to a tee and showed up on time. Hermione can be quite needy and John made sure to spend time at our place and send pictures of her while we were away. I would hire John again. Thanks!

Macky took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog and three cats while my husband and I were away for eight days. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, asked questions when she needed to, quickly responded to questions, and was right on time for our meet and greet and the day her stay started. We hope Macky will keep taking care of our babies when we need someone!

Once again, a complete and utter stressless vacation with Alex in charge of our senior dog and our place. So many great photos sent and updates given along the way. We couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our special needs boy and our home! Alex is like family now- he even put up with our construction. 💙

Karachi We are so grateful for the amazing care our little angel received. From the moment we arrived home, it was clear how much attention and love she had been given. The studio was spotless, the sheets had been washed, and everything was perfectly organized. These thoughtful details meant so much to us. Most importantly, we could tell that Gini was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you for treating her like family. She means the world to us, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! From the moment we met Liz, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. She took exceptional care of our dog and two cats, provided thoughtful updates and photos throughout our trip, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, all of our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Liz was dependable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her communication was excellent, and it was obvious how much attention and affection she gave our furry family members. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Liz provided and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Lily! She was very patient with my nervous dog, sent tons of updates, and was very communicative and conscientious. Finn had a great weekend with her, and I had absolutely no worries about him while we were gone because I knew he was in good hands. She also took exceptional care of our house and left it very clean and tidy.
