About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own baby, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, so I always make it my priority to give them attention, affection, and gentle care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I make time throughout my day for feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, cuddles, and giving pets attention so they never feel ignored or lonely. I’m very organized and dependable, so I’m able to stick to each cat’s routine and provide consistent care, updates, and affection throughout the week. I am currently a full time student but I am home from school so I am fully free When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean litter box, playtime, affection, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs so I can make sure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home, and I believe trust, communication, and reliability are extremely important. I also provide updates and photos for reassurance so owners can feel at ease knowing their fur baby is in loving hands. If your babies were to come to my House then I have a quiet home and space and I also have a dog park for play time
“This was my puppy’s first time with a sitter but Christian was awesome easing his anxiety and taking great care of him. She’s very responsive, reliable , and extremely patient ! I’ll definitely be using her again.”

“I know it is a good sign when Angel gives a lot of dog kisses when she sees her sitter. She is happy to see them and returns home happy. Thank you so much.”

“Amanda was very accommodating and communicative. We have an 11 1/2 year old, overweight beabull. Amanda took great care of her. Amanda was friendly, has her own dog, and we knew our dog was in good hands. She also sent pics of our dog during the stay. Thanks so much Amanda!”

“Aroa took great care of my four month old puppy while I was in the office. I got multiple check-ins and pictures throughout the day and I could tell from my pup’s body language that she was content and comfortable. Thank you!!!”

“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”

“Gil was great watching our pup for the day! Very responsive, friendly, and flexible with our somewhat up-in-the-air schedule. Would definitely recommend Gil to others and look forward to rebooking next time we are in need of a sitter.”

“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
About: My husband Galen and I have both had dogs since we were in our teens. We are both experienced in caring and loving for our pups. As a couple we have owned pets together for 13 years. We are a US Air Force Family and have been stationed in DC for the past six years. We love how the community is a dog centric town!! Galen is full remote, meaning your pup will never be alone. We currently have a bulldog named Burrito. Our miniature american eskimo named Mojo unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2024. I love our dogs so much I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your BFF to a stranger. I promise I’ll provide your pet the love and attention they want or need as if they were my own. My husband is full remote and I unfortunately am back in the office full time. Galen will be home with the pups all day. I do an early morning walk and an after work walk while he does multiple midday walks. In the evenings we both are able to take the pups on long walks. We monitor any bones given and are in close proximity during feeding time. We also continuously reinforce good behaviors by pets, praise, and treats if you allow. We only accept one dog at a time. Pups are allowed on the couch. Bundy Dog Park is across the street, if you allow for additional exercise. Your dog will receive lots of pets, praise and love while in our home!
“Asma & Mitchell took great care of our anxious little dog! They were happy to meet us before watching our dog and sent us the sweetest updates and photos while we were away for a few hours. I'm sure he was a bit whiny, but Asma & Mitchell were so kind and seemed to handle him easily! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dog with them again.”

“Jason agreed to watch Charlie, our senior citizen dog, at the last minute. Charlie seemed to have a really great time with him. When my wife picked him up, he had a real pep in his step, which is always a good sign. Jason was very responsive, flexible and understanding. We will certainly use him again.”

“This is the first time that Nina has watched Roxi, and I am hoping it will not be the last! Nina was very flexible on time. Sent photos during the day. I couldn't be happier!”

“Dzov and Carl LOVED their day with Brian and Izzy. They had so much fun, neither of them woke me up the next morning... they were so pooped from having a blast with Jax and Ziggy. We got lots of fun pics and videos throughout the day. Carl and Dzov can’t wait to see their friends again!!”
About: I have owned dogs as well as baby sat friends and family’s dog. What sets me apart from other sitters is I have spent numerous hours working in animal shelters and other pet rescue places. Therefore, I have worked with pets of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and personalities. Due to this experience, I have can adapt and understand your animal’s needs very quickly. Currently I am very flexible with when and where I can incooperate pet care into my schedule. I am in the process of applying to grad school so most of my time is spent at home working. I care for pets in both my home and clients home, by first understand the underlying personality of the pet. In doing so, I can better gauge what the pet will need from me to feel safe and happy. I walk the dogs regularly and also have multiple toys and space to play with them. With my experience in shelters I understand pet hygiene, and I also can spot certain medical needs the pet is experiencing that I need to tend to. Overall, my goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as they would at their home. They become my fur baby for the time they are with me, and I will protect them, play with them, and take care of them like they are my own.

Amazing! She cared for my 5 month puppy and did such a good job also was able to squeeze my pup in last minute due to a change of plan on my end. Peach looked so happy in all the updates she provided and also when i picked her up. Will definitely consider her for future caretaking!

Jason really helped me because the booking was last minute due to a funeral. Thanks Jason! Jason has a great home and Roxi inspected every inch of it. She had several walks during the day and Jason kept me up to date with cute photos. Was very much a relief to leave Roxi in such capable hands! Would definitely try and book with Jason again!

This was my first time using rover, and I was so lucky to find Yahaira! I had an emergency I needed to leave 2 weeks for, and am usually very nervous finding people I trust to watch my pup. I felt totally comfortable with Yahaira— she updated with pictures, sent updates, and gave him the affection and attention a typically anxious pup like him needs when I’m gone! He felt really comfortable with her too, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals. I would definitely rebook her. You can trust her with your animals 100%!!! Grateful

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Elliot and his partner Lorraine were simply the BEST!!! Our little baby, Yuzu, 12 months old, had never been out of our care till we had to leave him either alone for a day, or much better, to drop him off with Elliot and Lorraine, in order to drop off our daughter for I-Day at the U.S. Naval Academy. Elliot and Lorraine to the rescue! Not only did they watch Yuzu for over 14 hours in their lovely Georgetown home, Elliot even came to pick him up at 5:30 in the morning! They sent us pictures throughout the day, reassuring us of Yuzu's well being. By the end of the day, it was clear that we made the right choice for Daycare, evident by Yuzu being very content socializing with their two very well-behaved babies, Bronte, and Coogee, a few years older than Yuzu, as well as another guest dog. We can't thank you guys enough and really hope to depend on you in the future to care for Yuzu from time to time! We think Yuzu will think of it like a fun day out instead of missing Mommy and Daddy all day!
