“Tori is great with our two large dogs. She came over to meet them before the first Rover walk and easily bonded with them. She arrived promptly for a series of 3 consecutive walks, and sent great updates and photos. We’re so glad we found her on Rover!!”

“Anne was a life saver for me and Ghost. I was in a pinch looking for someone to take care of Ghost for the two days I had an in-office training and Anne was super communicative and even did a meet and greet for us. The hour long walks helped break up a lonely day for Ghost and eased my anxiety about leaving him home alone.”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have cared for every age and size range, from puppies to seniors, small dogs to big dogs. I also understand the needs of anxious dogs. My own dog is very anxious, so I am very attentive to dogs' body language, their surroundings, and what they need to feel comfortable. I regularly walk dogs of different sizes and temperaments and have the experience necessary to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and drop-ins. I am available during the day and evening during the week as well as weekends. I understand the importance of routine and schedule. Does your dog have a favorite walk route or certain spots to avoid? No problem! No special request or instruction is too much. I will make sure your dog is happy, safe, and stress-free!
“Today was Cleo and Rockets first time meeting Jayme. He took Cleo on a walk and it went great. This visit is the first visit out of the 2 that we have scheduled with Jayme before we go out of town since he will also be pet sitting for us. Jayme was very attentive, listened well to our instructions, and asked the right follow up questions. Cleo and Rocket really like him so we feel great about having Jayme pet sit in our home while we’re out of town.”

“Jacquelyn is a great walker for my dog! She is reliable and sends lots of pictures. My dog doesn’t always like to walk for very long and Jacquelyn pets her and plays with her instead!”

“Lila was amazing at taking care of my puppies. My sitter cancelled last minute and she was willing to come in last minute to take care of my dogs. She was extremely communicative and kept me in the loop about the dogs throughout the entire trip. I will be booking again with her.”
“Katelyn is awesome! So easy to work with, so responsive, and Monte was so happy and well taken care of :) will definitely ask her to hangout with him again!”


About: I grew up with small dogs (specifically pugs) and would love to keep your pup company while you are away. I am located in NW DC. I work 9-5 in the office, so I am looking for weekend gigs if you are going out of town. I usually work from home on Friday so I can handle long weekends too. I live in a smaller apartment, so big dog owners should look elsewhere (though I love big dogs too). I am within walking distance of multiple parks and have everything I need to keep your dog safe and entertained.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life, starting with my cats, Tux and Muffin, and then my dog, Inky. Because of the seasonal nature of my work, I haven’t been able to have pets of my own, but I regularly stay in practice by caring for my brother’s, uncle’s, and friends’ dogs when they’re at work or out of town. I’ll treat your dog with the same respect and affection I give my own family’s dogs. I’m in DC to be family, which leaves me plenty of time to walk or sit for your dog. I’m free during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends, and I’m happy to set my schedule around your pet’s needs. I treat every dog with the love, care, and respect they deserve. My brother is moving out and taking his dog, Auggie, with him, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for other pets in his place
“Sarah was really friendly to meet and great at communicating when we were away. She sent us pictures of the pets. We felt good that someone was dropping by the house while we were gone. Additionally, we loved that our dogs were getting worn out so they didn't focus their energies on the couch! I will most definitely be contacting Sarah again when we travel.”

“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”

About: I grew up with cats and now have a cat of my own who is like my child, so I totally get how hard it is to leave your baby! I will provide care, comfort, entertainment, and more to your fur baby so you don’t have to worry at all while you’re gone! I am available weeknights and weekends to check in on your babies! I also work in downtown DC and can pop over on my lunch break to say hello! I will make sure your home, and most importantly your cats areas, are always clean and ready for them to play, eat, and use the litter box.
About: I have a 4yr old cat named Onyx and while I do not have a dog myself, I have dog sitting/house sitting experience. I have always loved animals and I enjoy taking care of and playing with them. I take great care in following any instructions or special care requests you may have while your pet is in my care. I do not drive, so please be metro or public transit accessible! I do theatre as a full time job! This means when I am on show schedule, I typically work evenings and weekends. When I am not on show call, I work the opposite of those hours. This is to say my schedule is always changing, but I do my best to keep my calendar up to date. I love taking care of animals in my free time! My apartment will not allow pets in the building not stated on the lease, so I do not provide boarding. That being said, I am more than willing to provide care in your home, where your fur friend is most comfortable anyway! Beyond taking care of your pet, I am able to take care of plants, grab mail, and or any other house sitting tasks you may need while away. I understand the importance of feeling as though the person you are leaving responsible for your pet is trustworthy, caring, and easy-going and I hope to be that person for you! I look forward to getting to know you!

Marte was amazing! We originally had planned for Marte to walk our dog but then our dog got surgery and Marte was more than happy to pivot to just being with her while we were out and making sure she stayed safe and comfortable in her recovery. It’s legitimately such a relief to have found someone we trust as much as Marte 🙌

Ariana walked Major a number of times over the last several weeks when his regular walker was out of town and I can't say enough about what a great job she did. She agreed to meet on very short notice, was extremely responsive to messages, and provided immediate and substantial updates after every walk. I had complete peace of mind on the days she walked Major and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a worker who's flexible, reliable, and easy to work with.

Kylie was great! She was super prompt, and very good with our pup, even staying for a little bit longer than needed to make sure she was settled after we had unexpected window washing happening in our apartment! Ellie loved her time with Kylie and will definitely be using her again when we’re in a pinch.

Becca has become a part of our family! Her presence is a calming force for Frankie and I even think that he likes her better than me (his mom). LOL LOL LOL LOL On the days that she walks him, he gets up early and paces the floor until she arrives. It’s truly heartwarming to see how much he adores her.

My regular walker could no longer do Miko’s Monday walk, so Galen has taken over as my pup’s new bestie! She has been super communicative and reliable and we’re both lucky to have found her! My dog can be a bit picky and she was really patient getting to know him. Definitely recommend!
