“April is awesome! I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent. She also took my pup Layla to her favorite park :) I came home to a happy pup, and it was clear she was well taken care of. Will absolutely book with April again and highly recommend anyone looking for a caring and communicative Rover sitter!”


“Lydia has been wonderful taking care of our two dogs, one puppy and one senior dog. She's always communicative and makes us feel completely at ease leaving our dogs in her care. I truly recommend her to anyone looking for trusted and caring pet care.”

“My dog is 15 and has health problems. It is difficult to trust someone with her care because I struggle with it. I have been super lucky to find some great people on Rover that are gentle and kind with my dog. Caris took great care of her was responsive when we needed her in a pinch. I highly recommend Caris!”

About: Looking for folks who can give your dog love and affection? We're excited to welcome them into our home, or pop over to yours, where they can play, relax, and just be a dog in a chill, comfortable environment. We make sure every pup gets outside time throughout the day, whether that's a walk, potty break, or time to play in the yard. We also have our own fluffy pup, so yours will have a companion to play or relax with :) We offer both doggy daycare and drop-in visits, and we tailor each visit or daycare to how you and your dog like to do things - play, lounging, feeding or medication schedules, whatever keeps them happy and healthy. We're lifelong dog people with flexible work-from-home schedules, so we're genuinely present throughout the day, not just popping between meetings. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of our daily routine. Since we have flexible work from home schedules, we have plenty of time to prioritize walks, playtime, and feeding. Our own dog helps keeps us on a regular schedule, so we're already used to planning our days around pet needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday play session, or evening wind-down, we work your pets seamlessly into our schedule. With a bit of advance notice, we are able to adjust my schedule to accommodate different routines. Whether we're caring for pets in our home or yours, our top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We follow your routines as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walking routes to preferred toys and training cues. We make sure your dog (or cat!) gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and downtime as needed. If we’re hosting in our own home, your pet will have a cozy, quiet environment with plenty of room to relax and play, and will be treated just like part of the family, including supervised outdoor time, snuggles on the couch, and lots of love. We try to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Every pet is unique, and we take the time to get to know their needs and personality so we can provide the best possible care.
“Joseph was excellent and took great care of our dog. He even went above and beyond and picked up after the dog when in our own backyard which was not something we asked of him. We look forward to working with Joseph again!”

About: Hello! My wife and I would love to take care of your dog. We both love dogs and have been taking care of dogs for the last three years. We are a very fun and active family. Together with our beautiful lab dachshund mix, Lucy, enjoy going on long walks, mostly in the mornings and afternoons. Most mornings we end up going to the dog park since we love that our Lucy and the dogs we are watching have fun and spend their energy. We live in an apartment, and will be able to cater to any of your dog’s needs. I work from home so I am almost always available for dog sitting and boarding, just let me know and we’ll figure out the best times for your schedule. I take the dogs outside every couple hours, and for a walk in the morning and evenings. I also have a large crate if your dog is crate trained, dog beds, and many toys.
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 to always 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! :)
“Great at providing a lot of pictures during visits, when I got home after the 2 days I was gone, litterbox was clean and food+water were full. Very thorough, would book again.”


“Jackie took great care of our two kitties! We loved the photos of them rolling for her. We know that they were comfortable with her and we appreciate her great care of them! We will book with her again. ❤️”

About: I have been trusted to take care of dogs, cats, and even birds since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to provide loving care to their pets. I am dedicated to providing individualized care to your pet, based on their needs. I am newly pursuing a masters degree and maintaining part-time work. I am excited that this transition has allowed me to commit more availability to Rover. My calendar is reflective of my availability when I am not in-person at work or at school. I love walking around the city and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets is something that I look forward to incorporating into my new routine! I have been trusted to care for pets in their owners’ homes since I was 12. I will show you and your home respect as I provide loving care to your pet.

“Caden was great at taking care of Thelma & Louise for a last minute booking. He communicated well and showed pictures of them eating since one of my cats eats fast especially when anxious. He did a great job sending pictures too. Highly recommend Caden for your summer vacations!”

“Tabitha was great with our dog, she helped us out when our usual sitter was unavailable and I will definitely book with her again! She was on time, sent updates, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Highly recommend her!”
“Maya was willing to meet before the trip and shared prompt updates with photos. She managed my cat’s feeding and medicine while giving him some much needed attention during drop in visits.”


“Naa did such a great job taking care of my two cats, she made sure to give them lots of cuddles and playtime, and I loved getting such cute pictures and detailed updates with every visit.”
“Michael was great—easy to communicate with, thorough during each visit, and provided excellent daily updates. He was wonderful with my cat and clearly an animal person. I’d definitely book with him again.”

“Jamie is my go-to whenever my dog needs a visitor or walk when I can’t be there. She’s fantastic — whether my pup is feeling lazy or has the zoomies. She’s super communicative and can fill in on last minute notice. My dog loves her and don’t know what I would do without her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Heights
Hunter and Joey had the wonderful experience of having Jacquelyn as their drop-in sitter. I decided to try drop-in visits, after several unsuccessful attempts to find boarding options. I liked Jacqueline’s profile and she was the first person that I contacted. Fortunately, she accepted and was the perfect choice for Hunter and Joey who are rescues. Hunter likes to adjust to people on her own terms; Joey is terrified of everything and everyone. During our meet and greet, both became comfortable with Jacquelyn and it was obvious that she loves dogs, has extensive experience, and understands how to handle different temperaments and personalities. She provided photos and detailed notes of her visits and interactions with them. Jacquelyn is 5 stars+.

Marilyn was a wonderful cat sitter. She was very thorough in making sure she knew where everything was and what needed to be done ahead of time. She came at the scheduled times, fed them per my instructions, and pilled the cat that needed medication. She sent plenty of photos of the kitties and gave me a detailed update of how things were going, and spent plenty of time with them. I really appreciate how wonderful she did taking care of my three kitties. I would not hesitate to have her come again.

Phil was a reliable and committed cat sitter! He sent tons of pictures and detailed updates. I often have anxiety while traveling because I’m worried about my cat. But with Phil, I knew that she was kept company and genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Phil!!!

Karin took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! She came to my apartment to look after them, played with them, and made sure they always had access to food and fresh water. She also kept me updated on how everything was going and let me know about the little mischievous things my cats got up to while I was gone. What impressed me the most was how quickly my cats warmed up to her. Within just one day, they already seemed comfortable with her and trusted her, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Karin is caring, attentive, and reliable, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets!

Lily took such great care of Ginger! I was out of the country and a little difficult to reach but she was super responsive and sent plenty of photos, updating me on Ginger’s mood and how snuggly she was being. The apartment / Ginger’s food area was also cleaner than I left it. Would definitely recommend Lily and book her again in the future!!

It's nice to know we can count on Hannah. Our kitty is comfortable with her which makes it more comforting when we need to travel. Hannah is thorough in her reports and is diligent about following up to make sure she has the most current information about feeding, playtime, and in general all-around care. ❤️
