“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”


“This last visit was the 3rd time I've booked Aisha to watch my dog, Blanche! She has always been great and flexible when it comes to drop off and pick up times. She's very reliable and takes good care of my sweet pup while I'm away! Very considerate and thoughtful! I truly appreciate it and know I can rest assured any time Blanche is with her! ”

“Eli had a fantastic time with Carolina. He has never been boarded and we had never used Rover, Carolina reassured us that he was in great care and gave us frequent updates. Even gave Eli a new toy to bring home because he loved it so much while with her.”

“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”

“Christine was so fantastic. She boarded my baby girl for a week. Christine was very flexible and consistently sent me updates and photos of Dolly. Dolly also takes daily medication, and I truly appreciate the extra effort from Christine. Dolly clearly had a lovely time. I'm so happy she got a chance to hang out with other dogs and be at Christine's welcoming and wonderful home!”

“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”

“Jodee and AJ are very experienced and took great care of my pup even providing pictures and updates. Being her first time with a rover I was slightly apprehensive but it couldn’t have gone smoother. The family was very attentive!”

“Elizabeth cared for our pup for the first time on our longest period away from her during an international trip. We never had to worry or wonder how she was because of how consistently Elizabeth kept us in the loop. We are so thankful we found her, she took amazing care of our baby!”


“Kristen and Josh were great sitters! Their dog and our dog were not a great match but Kristen was really good about communication and managing the dogs environment during Sammi’s stay. Would highly recommend for others!”

“Noah is the best! He goes above and beyond caring for our dog. We have never left our dog for an extended period of time with anyone other than family but when we couldn't bring our pup with us on a trip- we knew he was in the best hands! I would recommend Noah to anyone! 100/10!”

“Nina was great with Ghibli!!! She sent lots of photos of a busy, happy boy and he came home very pleased with himself. I don’t think he missed me at all.”

“Alyce and her family were amazing. They were fantastic with updates and we felt so reassured and comforted knowing Teddy was getting all the loves while we were away. Can’t recommend them enough!☺️”

“Kelly was great. She was quick to respond initially and during Brandys visit sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. Brandy seemed very happy upon coming home. I would recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a stay. I will book again when needed.”

“Lily and Lina felt so special when they had their Rover vacation with April. They had play dates with friends, lots of belly scritches, and so much love! 11/10 would definitely recommend! Hoping to book with April again!”

“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

“Danyelle was great! She was communicative & flexible with drop off & pick up and she sent plenty of pictures of my little guy while away. Would definitely recommend her service. Thank you for the peace of mind.”

“It was our first time using Rover and having anyone outside of our immediate family watch Sherlock. We had a meet-and-greet the week before we went on our weekend trip. We came back to a happy and tired puppy. We know that Sherlock loved playing with Joel's dogs!”

About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.
Columbia Heights West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jeremy and Yilien are wonderful sitters! We had done a meet and greet beforehand and it was clear that our two dogs would feel right at home. They were really communicative and provided pictures of our dogs. We have already re-booked with them and look forward to using them in the future.

Leila was so so great watching Pixel for us while we were out of town. She sent so many updates and pictures. We could tell Pixel was comfortable and had a good time with Leila. She even went above and beyond by dropping Pixel off at our place for us. We will definitely use her again!

Our dog absolutely loved his time with Yiting and Robert! They sent us so many pictures and videos throughout his stay and clearly took such good care of him. He got tons of playtime, a trip to the park, lots of pampering, and came home so happy and tired. Highly, highly recommend!

Great experience! My regular sitter wasn’t available, so I tried Victor for boarding and couldn’t be happier. They communicated clearly, sent daily photos, took my dog Yaara on walks, and spent quality time with him. Most importantly, my dog seemed relaxed and unstressed after. I’d definitely book with Victor again.

Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.
