“Thank you for taking care of our baby! Nicole was great - patient with Ethel, who was a little anxious. If we are ever looking for a sitter near DC again, we will absolutely reach out again!”
“Malvi and Andrej are great. They are thoughtful about how different dogs will get along. They have a big backyard and the pups get lots of playtime outside. The first floor of their house is well set up for dogs, and they take really good care of the pups who come to spend the day. My dog has done day care at their house as well as boarding, and she comes home relaxed and happy every time.”
About: I have experience fostering a puppy and volunteering at dog shelters, where I regularly take dogs out for walks and give them loving attention. I grew up with a golden retriever named Max, which sparked my lifelong love for dogs. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am available throughout the weekdays and select weekends. I kindly ask for advance notice when possible, as I am a college student balancing my schedule. I care for pets in a safe, calm home environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I live in a house with a large backyard. I am happy to crate your dog if needed, as long as you provide the crate.

“I would like to say thank you to Christian well my first time using Rover and helping me feel comfortable with my fur baby saying with her. She did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures letting me know what’s going on and making this days feel so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anybody and using her in the future, thank you so much.”
“Brit had such a great time with Angela! They managed two walks, despite the rain, and Brit slept the whole way home. We will definitely be back!”
“Jeff looked after our dog (Toby) when I had to leave town for the day. I ran into delays during the commute home, but Jeff was v understanding. I'm so grateful for Jeff's flexibility and Toby came home a happy camper :)”
“Aaron & Paweena were great and accommodated me so last minute! My sweet boy can be a bit nervous at first when it comes to settling in but he had such a great day and was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day! I came back to him chewing on a treat they gave him & he barely acknowledged me picking him up lol this won’t be my last time booking!”
“Our pup Bella had a great time with Pamela during doggy day care. My wife and I appreciated Pamela taking such good care of her while we were at work, and we loved the photo updates she sent!”
“Our pup Polo absolutely loves Jon and his wife, Lily. As someone who is maybe too attached to our dog, I usually hate leaving him anywhere. But Jon and Lily keep us updated throughout the day and send us so many pictures of him cuddling, playing and going on lots of walks, we know that they are taking amazing care of him. To the point that he has immediately recognized the words "do you want to go to Jon's house?" and gets super excited to go! They've been really flexible with our changing schedules and are easy to communicate with. We will absolutely keep going to them!”

About: Hi there! I'm a dog-mom of an energetic boxer, Gus. Gus is my first dog, but from a young age, I always walked dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I had over 4 years of experience with doggy roommates. I have experiences with many different personalities and sizes so I'm very comfortable with them. I am very active and love taking long walks or light jogs, just like your pup! Gus is also an excellent walking buddy who is good on the leash.

Cottage City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rita was absolutely amazing with my dog, Natalie! Natalie can be reactive and typically needs time to adjust to new environments and people, but Rita went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to really understand Natalie’s needs, triggers, and what makes her happy, which made such a difference. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and keeping me reassured the entire time. It’s clear Rita genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort, and because of that, Natalie had a great experience. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Rita!
Melanie did an amazing job caring for my dog, Milly, for daycare! Milly has severe separation anxiety, but she seemed very comfortable with Melanie. Melanie took Milly on multiple walks throughout the day and sent great photos of her. very grateful for Melanie's help.
Jules was great with my dog, Quill. She was responsible in scheduling a meet and greet to ensure he was comfortable in her space and around her roommate’s cat. And she sent lots of pictures while he was with her that showed how at ease he was with her in her space. I’d happily recommend Jules to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pet!
Wonderful experience! This is my first time leaving my fur baby with June and she didnt disappoint. She gave my senior pup, Snapple, plenty of cuddles and attention all day. And I absolutely love the amount of pics and videos June sent during her stay to make me feel comfortable as a dogmom :-). I highly recommend!
Murray and Monty had another wonderful day at “Uncle Jeff and Dan’s” house! It’s only been a few times we’ve left them and they already can’t wait to go! It has been an amazing experience finding them, because we know they’re safe, happy and well cared for and we never have to worry. Thanks again for everything.
